Mo Yu had matters to handle, and Ye Jiuliang didn’t linger in the dining area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment of parting, Ye Yuan’s face was full of reluctance, his expression pitiful as if he was a child about to be abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang paused mid-step, a sly smile dancing in her eyes, \"We have many rooms on our side, how about moving in and living with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yuan’s eyes suddenly brightened, \"Can I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang teased again, \"Can I take that back now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you can’t.\" Fearing she would take it back, Ye Yuan didn’t give her a chance to speak and quickly got into the car, \"I’ll go pack up now, and move over later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the car door whooshed closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, Ye Jiuliang couldn’t even see the car’s shadow anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he driving a car or a rocket?

After all, it’s probably rare to find someone as good-looking as me,\" Li Mochan wrapped an arm around her, his usually cold eyes filled with a radiant smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, for sure good-looking.\" Ye Jiuliang looked up at him and pecked his jaw lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan curled his lips in appreciation of her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doorbell rang, and Gu Xinuo rushed out of the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and a hint of embarrassment flashed through her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why run?\" Chu Chen followed her out of the kitchen leisurely, \"It’s not like you haven’t seen Ajiu before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xinuo turned and glared at him, \"I’ll settle the score with you later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen raised an eyebrow, watching her retreating back, his eyes twinkling with fine light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t certain yet who would be settling scores with whom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened, and Gu Xinuo paused for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mo Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Chen looked up, his expression melancholic, \"Sister Xinuo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in first.\" Gu Xinuo checked behind him to confirm he was alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Chen nodded and obediently followed her inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around the living room, trying to find Ye Jiuliang, \"Is Sister Ajiu here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ajiu isn’t here, but she’ll be coming over soon, probably arriving shortly,\" Gu Xinuo offered a cup of tea, setting it before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have a seat first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Chen fidgeted, scratching his head hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mo Chen, you can speak freely, it’s okay,\" Gu Xinuo smiled warmly, encouraging him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much hesitation, Mo Chen finally expressed his request, \"Sister Xinuo, could I see my mother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Gu Xinuo hesitated for a moment, then lifted her gaze towards Chu Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>",1305,"2026-05-30T05:19:11.910Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","1d1e1853764f7af7fcaa0ed00769c84bb8eccc073cf9cdd373f1e7ceeefb9535","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-725","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-723",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
