And now you tell me you don’t want them, are you playing me?\" Ji Mingqian said frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng snorted coldly, and said faintly, \"I didn’t ask you to buy them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he was being presumptuous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian silently clenched his teeth, his hand gripping the paper bag tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked with a grim face, \"Do you want them or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t,\" he retorted, stubborn as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian got annoyed, shoved the paper bag into his uninjured hand, \"I went to a lot of trouble to buy these, you’re not allowed to refuse them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, both of them became childish ghosts, indistinguishable from kids squabbling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said I don’t want it, why force it on me?\" Jiang Yisheng frowned, but his tone was somewhat gentler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian changed the subject, \"Take the sugar-coated haws, can we talk properly now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does he mean, ’take it’? It was clearly forced on him. Jiang Yisheng glanced at him coolly, and cuttingly said, \"You were the one who didn’t talk properly first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds of silence, Ji Mingqian softened again, \"I apologize, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng’s lips curved in a barely visible smile, and he cleared his throat, \"Weren’t you supposed to fly back to Country Y tonight? Why didn’t you leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1247,"2026-05-30T05:19:05.472Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","71c47d7a13285debc45f2053e1bdaf9276716f94852a180df0475dc826deea29","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-538","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-536",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
