If he wasn’t holding his son, he might have swung a punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even called him \"daddy,\" flattering him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian glanced at him, \"So petty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen clicked his tongue and returned to the topic, \"When do you plan to return to headquarters?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was planning to go back in a couple of days, but I got a call this morning. There’s a temporary issue with the crew, so I need to go over.\" Ji Mingqian said while playing with Chu Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When are you leaving?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So soon.\" Gu Xinuo frowned slightly, \"We just got here and you’re leaving, it’s such a bummer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian chuckled lightly, \"No choice, gotta work hard to buy toys for Ayue and Xiaobai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out to pinch Chu Yue’s chubby little face, \"Right, Ayue?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You gotta be kidding me.\" Gu Xinuo gave him a disdainful look and teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her view, he wasn’t lacking money; he was lacking a beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mommy.\" The little guy, after being held by Ji Mingqian for a short while, struggled to find Gu Xinuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eager look on his face made Ji Mingqian feel inexplicably rejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He poked the little one’s cheek, \"What’s wrong with me holding you? Why look for your mommy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want mommy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The baby voice carried a hint of sobbing, eyes welling up as if ready to cry any second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speechless, Ji Mingqian quickly handed him to Gu Xinuo, \"Go to your mommy, I won’t hold you next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least Xiaobai is good, never cries no matter how you tease him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retracting his hand, he turned to look at Chu Chen and teased, \"Achen, you didn’t cry much when you were a kid, how come your son turned into a crybaby?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen wasn’t annoyed, a subtle smile at the corner of his lips as his gaze drifted toward Gu Xinuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resemblance was obvious without words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian caught on immediately and couldn’t help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The excessive laughter drew Gu Xinuo’s attention, she was slightly stunned, and then realized everything, her brown eyes narrowing dangerously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chu, Chen.\" She hissed through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t cry a lot as a child, he was slandering her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen raised his hands in surrender, awkwardly laughing, \"I didn’t say anything, the kid is still here, be gentle, be gentle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xinuo’s face darkened, \"Are you implying I’m not gentle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen’s expression stiffened, \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that no matter what he said now, it would be wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was at a loss for words, almost ready to swear with three raised fingers, \"No, absolutely not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anuo, you cried quite a bit when you were a kid, it’s not a big deal, admitting it won’t hurt.\" Ji Mingqian stirred the pot playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though all four of them cried seldom, she had the highest count.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up.\" Gu Xinuo held her son in one hand and picked up a pillow with the other, throwing it at him, \"You’re the one who cries a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian easily caught the pillow, cheekily said, \"Achen wasn’t wrong, you need to be more gentle, you’re almost like a tigress, be careful or you’ll scare Achen away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that, Gu Xinuo’s face turned dark, the little one in her arms gnawed on his finger, his moist eyes looking at her, seemingly sensing her anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anuo, it’s all his nonsense, nothing to do with me.\" Chu Chen quickly said, caught in the crossfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He definitely didn’t want to sleep on the sofa tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xinuo gave him a sidelong glance, thrusting her son into his arms, then clenched her fist and aimed it at Ji Mingqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ji Mingqian, I’m not done with you today, I’m going to beat you black and blue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she rolled up her sleeves, Ji Mingqian had already hopped over the sofa and ran outside as she chased after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ji Mingqian, stand still.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen gave a wry smile, looking down at his son, who was staring blankly at the door, seemingly frightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a distinct hand, he stroked his son’s head, gently comforting him, \"It’s okay, don’t be scared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Chu Yue wriggled his neck, looking up at him with furrowed brows, \"Mommy... fierce.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen couldn’t help but chuckle, luckily Anuo didn’t hear that, otherwise, she really might have lost it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking into his son’s dewy eyes, he softly coaxed, \"Mommy and they are just playing around, mommy’s not fierce, just like Ayue and Xiaobai who like to play.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little guy gnawed on his finger, thought for a while, and suddenly grabbed his clothes, still speaking a bit unsteadily, \"Daddy, find, Xiaobai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard this every day, and Chu Chen twitched at the corners of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just couldn’t understand why his son liked to cling to Xiaobai so much, was it Anuo’s genes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Anuo was young, she liked clinging to Ajiu, and now his son liked clinging to Xiaobai?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking it over, Chu Chen felt a bit disoriented, and with a hint of hope, he asked, \"Ayue, is daddy better or Xiaobai?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaobai.\" Little Chu Yue waved his tiny fist, his baby voice clear and loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen’s heart went cold, the last bit of hope he harbored was crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why couldn’t he be better than Xiaobai?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little rascal could at least hesitate a bit, it’s disheartening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s so good about Xiaobai, hmm?\" Growing more dissatisfied, Chu Chen pinched his son’s cheek gently, not really exerting force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly like mother like son, it felt like he was raising two ungrateful little wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaobai, good.\" With his face squished, the little guy had suspicious drool at the corners of his mouth, speaking unclearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chen gritted his teeth, his face turning sour as if he had swallowed a fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still wanted a little darling, this little rascal was too much to bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the city lights started to twinkle, Mo Garden was brightly lit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Chu Chen’s family around, the house felt even livelier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aroma of hot pot wafted out from the kitchen, filling the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see, if our Ayue were a girl, our two families could become in-laws.\" Gu Xinuo said, observing Chu Yue snuggled against Xiaobai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang was sipping juice, nearly spitting it out upon hearing that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough cough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth, chuckling helplessly, \"If you want so much to be my son’s mother-in-law, you could just have another kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Ayue was born, she’d said that line countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teasing, she added, \"Better hurry up and have another one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don’t you?\" Gu Xinuo glanced at her, nudging her with her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang raised an eyebrow, \"Li Mochan and I agreed long ago to only have one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xinuo was speechless, couldn’t they stop showing off for a moment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Ji Mingqian, having finished washing vegetables, strolled out of the kitchen with a lighter step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the sofa, he spread his arms and flopped into it comfortably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What were you two chatting about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang glanced at him, tapping his leg with a remote, \"What time are you leaving tomorrow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nine o’clock, why ask this? Coming to see me off?\" Ji Mingqian joked.\u003C\u002Fp>",1214,"2026-05-30T05:19:15.933Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","fed6a7543c68e7ae1520c95e53563466b56bad262dabeef9201685d88784a8f4","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-876","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-874",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
