Why do you ask? Want to give me a ride?\" Ji Mingqian jokingly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang rolled his eyes at him, \"Can you make it back in time for your birthday in a few days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian chuckled lightly, \"I haven’t celebrated my birthday in years—you know that. I’m not celebrating this year either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without that person, he hated birthdays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang and Gu Xinuo exchanged a glance, understanding what he meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xinuo looked helpless, unable to see through his thoughts, \"Aqian, it’s been three years. Do you really plan to keep enduring like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years already, does he really plan to waste a lifetime?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else can I do?\" Ji Mingqian gave a self-deprecating smile, rubbing his brow. Who could tell him what to do? Was there any other choice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to America,\" Gu Xinuo suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" Ji Mingqian shook his head. He didn’t want to force that person, nor make them uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t it just a lifetime? He could afford to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not, there’s always the pact for the next life; he could wait for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xinuo’s smile faded, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work. Tormenting each other like this is bad for both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was about to speak when someone pressed her hand down. She turned her head to meet Ye Jiuliang’s deep black eyes and lightly shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding, Gu Xinuo swallowed her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The topic came to a hasty end, and Ji Mingqian stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to have some coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, Chu Chen’s family stayed at Mo Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two kids were up to mischief together, almost wreaking havoc in the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a nap in the afternoon, it was past ten o’clock, and Xiaobai was still full of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exasperated, Li Mochan had to go read a storybook to put him to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Asleep?\" Ye Jiuliang asked softly as she watched the man entering the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan nodded, closed the door, and walked over to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t you say you were sleepy? Why aren’t you asleep yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he lifted the quilt, she rolled over and snuggled into his embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mohan, it’s been three years. Shouldn’t we try talking to Uncle again?\" she said in a muffled voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, seeing everyone paired up made seeing Aqian alone even more troubling for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need,\" Li Mochan said, his lips curving slightly, his large hand threading through her hair, absentmindedly smoothing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Ye Jiuliang suddenly sat up, frowning slightly, \"Is Uncle going to fly into a rage like before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Tan Yan’s incident hit Uncle hard, so much time has passed—it’s time to let go. Most importantly, Asheng isn’t Tan Yan and wouldn’t behave like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her rare urgency, Li Mochan playfully flicked her forehead, \"Why are you in such a rush?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can I not be? Are we just supposed to watch them drag it out like this forever?\" Ye Jiuliang buried her head into his chest, speaking with helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan looked down at her, his lips brushing her ear, his voice magnetic, \"Don’t worry, what you fear won’t happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person in his arms paused for a few seconds before swiftly lifting her head to look into his deep eyes, \"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan raised an eyebrow, no longer keeping her in suspense, \"Asheng is in the capital now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asheng is in the capital?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it for work or something else?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Ye Jiuliang couldn’t grasp his meaning and looked at him with wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Silly, their uncle’s not objecting anymore.\" Li Mochan gently brushed her nose. \"So, you don’t have to worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang looked stunned for a few seconds, barely digesting this surprise, before she sprang upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ouch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her haste, she knocked her forehead against Li Mochan’s chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ouch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held her forehead, drawing a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling a numbing pain in his chin, Li Mochan quirked a smile and pulled her close, rubbing her forehead, \"Being impulsive, what’s gotten you so excited?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it true? Did their uncle really agree?\" Ignoring the pain in her forehead, Ye Jiuliang hurriedly asked for confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan nodded, \"Uncle just called.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And grandma and the others don’t object either?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, they don’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang laughed happily in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great, Asheng finally sees hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly remembering something, she hurriedly got up, \"Then I’ll go tell Aqian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she got up, Li Mochan’s strong arm reached out, pulling her back, \"No need to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang glanced back at him, \"Why not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let them sort it out themselves,\" Li Mochan replied leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Aqian is leaving at nine tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One’s arriving, the other’s leaving. What if they miss each other?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan’s smile took on a knowing look, \"What’s meant to happen will happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang paused and calmed down, thinking of something, she leaned in closer, \"Asheng called you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan raised his eyebrows, giving a low \"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you conspire about?\" she pressed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan gave a mysterious smile, \"You’ll find out tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to know now,\" Ye Jiuliang insisted, eager to find out what surprise they had planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weren’t you sleepy? Be good, we’ll talk tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not sleepy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curiosity piqued, sleep was the last thing on her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s a kind of tired that says your husband thinks you’re tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Mochan, you...rogue...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teasing words came to an abrupt halt, as the bright lights went out suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drinking too much yesterday, Ji Mingqian still managed to rise early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a quick breakfast, he picked up his suitcase and headed out. With such a short time away, he left Erbao temporarily at Mo Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe because it was still early, the airport wasn’t crowded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, his flight had a minor technical issue and would be delayed by half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bored while waiting, Ji Mingqian went to a nearby café.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One iced Americano.\" His deep voice was a little hoarse through the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, please wait a moment,\" the employee said politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian leaned against the counter, browsing his phone absentmindedly, completely unaware of a pair of enchanting green eyes watching him intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, the voice of the employee came from behind him, \"Sir, your coffee.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian turned around to take the cup, but it felt warm to the touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned, \"I ordered an iced Americano.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apologies, sir, we made a mistake. If you can wait ten more minutes, I’ll get you a new one.\" The employee apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian glanced at his watch; it would be too late if he waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, just keep it this way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying, he left the café.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Removing the lid, he raised the cup to his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This taste...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>",1145,"2026-05-30T05:19:15.933Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","60dfa7789115b6792e32c42c1a4850c762535ae55026e5ab247912ca5706bb64","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-877","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-875",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
