Ye Jiuliang snorted lightly, clearly disapproving.
Li Mochan took the cloth bag carefully and placed it on the table, when Ye Jiuliang’s voice ca from beside him, "By the way, do you have any gas?"
To make it here, she had pushed nearly an hour’s journey into half an hour, thanks to the Li Family’s mansion being in the suburbs. Otherwise, with her speed, she would have been fined in minutes.
"You rode a motorcycle here?" When he heard "gas," Li Mochan suddenly rembered the scene when he had blocked her on the road.
The girl’s fierce riding speed...
Ye Jiuliang said in a light tone, "What else, flew here?"
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Ye Jiuliang turned to leave; if she was seen in Li Mochan’s room, she figured even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t cleanse her reputation.
No, she didn’t want to beco the hot search topic in the capital’s social circles.
Suddenly, a large hand grabbed her. Ye Jiuliang looked back, "Why are you holding onto ?"
Li Mochan didn’t answer her but turned to the closed door, "Who is it?"
"Cousin, it’s ."
Through the door ca Jiang Yisheng’s voice.
"Co in."
With permission, Jiang Yisheng pushed the door open and his gaze fell on the person standing beside Li Mochan, slightly startled.
But he quickly recovered and gave Ye Jiuliang a slight smile, "Miss Ye is here too."
It seed the guests in the banquet hall didn’t need to be left hanging any longer.
"Cousin, if you don’t go over soon, I reckon my uncle will co looking," Jiang Yisheng shifted his gaze to Li Mochan. Regardless, leaving all those prominent social figures in the banquet hall wasn’t ideal.
Li Mochan remained silent, his gaze intense as he looked towards the person beside him. Ye Jiuliang glared back, "What are you looking at for?"
He uttered two words indifferently, "Cake."
Ye Jiuliang, "..."
She was just joking; did he really think she ca for the cake?
"I..." She started to speak resentfully when Jiang Yisheng cut in first, "Miss Ye, since you’re here, why not head over to the banquet hall with us? We haven’t cut the cake yet, it’s not too late to have a slice before you go."
With that, Li Mochan gave him an approving look.
Jiang Yisheng kept a smile on his face, but internally he couldn’t help but gripe about how tough it was these days to help a brother chase after a girl.
"No thanks, I really have things to do." Thinking it over, Ye Jiuliang declined. With so many people in the banquet hall, her appearance would definitely draw attention. She shouldn’t cause trouble for him during his birthday party.
She was about to step away when she realized Li Mochan was still holding her hand.
"Mr. Li the Fifth, your hand?" she reminded him.
Li Mochan’s face grew cold, silent for a mont before he let go, his voice husky, "Didn’t you say you wanted cake?"
Ye Jiuliang paused, speechless for a while.
Li Mochan was really a bit strange tonight!
After a mont, she curled her lips into a mocking smile, "Not afraid of so little mishaps at your birthday party?"
She didn’t cause trouble, yet so people just liked to provoke her.
With her, the words "easy to bully" did not exist.
Her question was casual, but his answer was serious, "Doesn’t matter."
Across from them, Jiang Yisheng felt like he had been force-fed a mouthful of dog food.
"..."
He had a feeling tonight’s birthday party wouldn’t be all that peaceful.
Ye Jiuliang’s smile broadened, "My stomach just happens to be a bit empty, having so cake doesn’t seem like a bad idea."
Li Mochan’s brows relaxed, and his gaze towards the young girl softened unconsciously.
"Miss Ye, would you like to co down with us?" Jiang Yisheng asked warmly.
Ye Jiuliang replied, "No, I’ll enter through the main entrance."
What a joke, going down with the two of them would only lead to more speculation.
"Let’s go."
Jiang Yisheng had just wondered how she had gotten in when, the next second, he only saw a blur flashing before his eyes.
He blinked, and the girl had already disappeared from sight.
"..."
He turned his neck with difficulty, looking towards Li Mochan, whose austere face remained as calm as ever, as if he had long grown accustod to Ye Jiuliang’s habit of jumping out windows and climbing rooftops.
It seed this was not the first ti such a thing had happened.
By the window, in the dim night, Li Mochan watched Ye Jiuliang land with ease, a charming smile blooming at the corners of his lips.
＊＊
Li Mochan’s sudden departure from the table unavoidably caused dissatisfaction among so guests. The birthday party’s protagonist was absent, leaving them all hanging, it was as if he didn’t care about them at all.
Thereupon, so began to complain in low voices.
"Where has Uncle Five gone exactly? It’s his birthday party, yet he disappears, leaving us to clean up after him with the guests," Li Jingqi had just co from Elder Li’s side, looking slightly displeased.
Li Jingjie patted his shoulder, speaking in a deep voice, "Let’s talk about it after the party, don’t make a scene for others to laugh at."
"Brother Three is also right, it’s been a long ti, and Uncle Five showed up only to leave. If he doesn’t appear soon, I’m afraid all the guests here will think that our Li Family disregards everyone, not taking them seriously," Li Jingxuan chid in, adding fuel to the fire.
The usually silent Li Jingming, who had sharp eyes, caught sight of a figure by the staircase and reminded in a low voice, "Alright, stop talking, Uncle Five is here."
Upon hearing that, Li Jingxuan and the others followed his gaze. Li Mochan and Jiang Yisheng were coming downstairs together.
"Mochan, it’s really not easy to get a chance to see you," Elder Ye was talking with Elder Li, and a sharp gleam flashed in his tiger-like eyes when he saw Li Mochan.
Li Mochan’s voice was cool and gentle, "Uncle Ye."
Elder Ye laughed heartily, his words tinged with helplessness, "I heard that my Jiuliang has caused you quite so trouble, so here I am, as Uncle Ye, to thank you."
After a mont of contemplation, he replied indifferently, "No trouble."
Thinking Li Mochan was just being polite, Elder Ye simply smiled it off, "That girl Jiuliang is too mischievous. If she does sothing wrong, I’ll have to ask you to be more forgiving."
Li Mochan pursed his lips and humd in agreent.
A little wolf cub, indeed very troubleso.
"Ye Jiuliang, how co you’re here?" Coming back from the restroom and passing by the terrace, Ye Xin’s face turned ugly when she saw the person sitting on the sofa chair.
A cool breeze blew gently, and the young girl’s straight legs were casually crossed, with a lollipop in her mouth.
Hearing this voice, Ye Jiuliang was too lazy to even lift her eyelids, contentedly playing a mobile ga.
"If you can co, why can’t I be here?" she replied in a lukewarm tone.
Ye Xin hated Ye Jiuliang’s choking style of speaking the most. Seeing her dressed casually, she was full of disdain and contempt, "Weren’t you not coming? And you even dress like this to be here, are you trying to sha our Ye Family on purpose?"
Ye Jiuliang sneered coldly, "Keep yapping, and I guess the one who will be embarrassed soon will be you."
"You..." Ye Xin’s face turned red with anger.
The ga round ended, and Ye Jiuliang’s fingers slid nimbly, starting the next level, "Keep your distance from ."
"Who wants to bother with you." Ye Xin suppressed her anger, turned, and walked away, her high heels clicking sharply against the floor.
With peace restored to her ears, Ye Jiuliang shifted to a more comfortable position to lean back.
Before she could complete the next level of the ga, the phone was about to die. Ye Jiuliang muttered that it was boring, turned off the phone, and put it back in her pocket.
She picked up her hat, put it on, and got up to return to the banquet hall.
