"Li Mochan, looking for a fight, are you?" he asked in a bad tone.
Li Mochan raised an eyebrow, "I don’t know you, why should I let you in?"
"You..." Chu Chen was amused, "You’re deliberately picking a quarrel, aren’t you?"
Inside, Ye Jiuliang and Gu Xinuo heard their commotion and exchanged a smile.
Who says n aren’t childish? They’re obviously very childish.
Chu Chen was so angry that he forced his way in with brute strength.
Of course, part of it was because Li Mochan deliberately let it happen.
Upon entering the room, Chu Chen, furious, tore off the mask from his face, "Ye Jiuliang, can you control your man?"
Damn.
Every ti they t, he really wanted to give him a good beating.
Ye Jiuliang and Gu Xinuo were chatting happily. Hearing his words, they glanced over at them, and Ye Jiuliang said with disgust, "Handle your n’s business yourself. It has nothing to do with ."
"These hairy crabs look so delicious." Gu Xinuo completely ignored them, already too hungry to wait.
"We were just waiting for you two. Hurry up and wash your hands so we can start eating," Ye Jiuliang called out.
Gu Xinuo dragged Chu Chen to the bathroom, and after washing hands, she hurried back by herself.
"How co we didn’t call Aqian?" Gu Xinuo sat down, rolling up her sleeves as she asked.
"I’ve called him. He had dinner with Burn and should be here soon," Ye Jiuliang said.
"He really knows how to have fun wherever he goes," Chu Chen teased.
Ye Jiuliang curled his lips into a smile. "You know what he’s like."
Everyone but Ye Jiuliang poured themselves a drink.
Just slling the faint aroma of the alcohol, Ye Jiuliang felt her craving for a drink being stirred.
She licked the corner of her lips, wishing she could snatch away the glass of wine from Li Mochan’s hand.
"I an, do you three have the nerve to drink alcohol in front of ?" she said, holding her glass of juice, looking utterly deflated.
"Ajiu, sorry about that. After you give birth, I’ll drink with you until dawn," Gu Xinuo said with a laugh, making a bold declaration.
"Dream on," Ye Jiuliang gave her a sideways glance, responding to her brazen laughter with a light snort, "I’ll rember that promise, and when you’re pregnant one day, I’ll return the favor."
Gu Xinuo let out a dry laugh, opting for silence to avoid Ye Jiuliang’s flippant remarks.
"Have so soup first." Li Mochan served her a bowl of soup and then started to pick out the bones from her fish.
"Ajiu, Mo Lingling has disappeared again," Gu Xinuo belatedly rembered to tell her that Mo Lingling was missing.
"Gone missing?" Ye Jiuliang’s eyebrows raised slightly, "When did this happen?"
"Not long ago, just a couple of days back. Our people saw her being kidnapped by a person in black," Gu Xinuo said.
Since the mont they let Mo Lingling go, they had people secretly watching her to find out who was behind her.
Fortunately, the person hiding behind the scenes finally showed up.
"Did soone follow her?" Ye Jiuliang asked.
Gu Xinuo replied, "They did, but lost her later."
But they could roughly guess who had taken Mo Lingling away.
Qian Mian’s sneaky attack on J-continent’s base had been foiled, and Mo Lingling, as the one providing all those secrets, would definitely not escape suspicion.
At that mont, a knocking sound ca again.
"Ajiu, it’s ," Ji Mingqian’s voice was low and recognizable.
Chu Chen was closest to the door and got up to open it.
"You sure got here early," Ji Mingqian said to Chu Chen in a laid-back manner.
Chu Chen gave him a look and walked back, "Close the door."
Ji Mingqian pursed his lips and resignedly shut the door.
Sheesh, he was not at all friendly to see.
Having eaten his fill before arriving, Ji Mingqian lost his appetite at the sight of the feast on the table.
But if it isn’t food, it’s impossible not to drink.
He reached for a glass and poured himself a cup of wine.
Ye Jiuliang looked up at him, "How’s the situation?"
"Do you still doubt my acting skills?" Ji Mingqian lifted his head, his tone carrying a bit of swagger.
Ye Jiuliang chuckled lightly and teased, "Your tail is almost wagging up to the sky."
Gu Xinuo piled on, "You light up at the smallest complint, ever heard of modesty?"
"Don’t understand." Ji Mingqian retorted defiantly.
These two had always enjoyed ganging up and teasing him since they were kids.
"Ajiu, do you think the Mo Family people will go in person tomorrow?" Chu Chen asked thoughtfully.
Ye Jiuliang shrugged, "It’s hard to say."
It all depended on how attractive that iron box was to the Mo Family.
"Are you guys going over?" Ji Mingqian asked.
Without a second thought, Gu Xinuo imdiately agreed, "Yeah, we’ve got nothing better to do. We’ll hide in the upstairs room, just give us a shout if sothing cos up."
With that, she cracked open a crab shell and left the rest for Chu Chen to peel for her.
"Ajiu, that old man from the Mo Family is hidden too well, I can’t find any information." Ji Mingqian rembered that he had another matter to discuss when he got here, and it only ca to him when the Mo Family was ntioned.
Ye Jiuliang frowned, concealing so tightly?
"Let’s eat first." Seeing that she had barely touched her food, Li Mochan reminded her, "Think about it after you’re done."
If the food got cold and she ate it later, it would just lead to stomach discomfort again.
"Your Li Mochan is afraid you haven’t eaten enough and your IQ will drop." Ji Mingqian snickered anly.
Ye Jiuliang’s lips twitched slightly, and the chopsticks in her hand almost slipped out.
"Even if it’s not enough, it’s still smarter than you." Li Mochan shot him a cold glance and said sardonically.
Ji Mingqian, "..."
This guy had no bottom line when it ca to spoiling his wife; he didn’t bother to argue with him, wasting his breath.
"Let tell you sothing funny." After a mont of quiet, Ji Mingqian stirred things up again.
"Outside, there’s a rumor that Dark Hall and our K organization are about to co to blows, and so are even placing bets on who will win."
"That is quite interesting." Ye Jiuliang, having finished eating, took a napkin and wiped her mouth.
"Did you place a bet?"
By the third glass of wine, Ji Mingqian put down his glass, "Such little gas are fine to watch, but I’m not in the mood for it."
"Aqian, help tidy up." Chu Chen started cleaning up the ss on the table with a bag.
"Why ? I didn’t eat your food," Ji Mingqian laughed angrily.
Chu Chen threw back at him, "Did you drink or not?"
Ji Mingqian deflated, "..."
Damn it.
This heartless bunch.
Should’ve chosen my friends more carefully.
The three n tidied the table, leaving Ye Jiuliang and Gu Xinuo to enjoy their leisure.
"How co your belly still hasn’t changed much?" Gu Xinuo stared at Ye Jiuliang’s stomach for a while and asked curiously.
"I’ve seen other won start showing much more around three or four months."
Ye Jiuliang’s red lips curved slightly as she simply explained, "Different people have different physiques."
"Boy or girl?" Gu Xinuo asked gossipingly.
Being so skilled in dicine herself, she surely knew the baby’s gender already.
"Mohan says it’s a boy." Ye Jiuliang glanced at the man not far away cleaning the table, her lips curving into a faint smile.
Gu Xinuo blinked, a bit confused, "How does he know?"
