"Did you not answer the phone just now, were you woken up by my call?"
"I was in the shower." Li Mochan put his phone on speaker mode and placed it on the bedside table as he got dressed.
Ye Jiuliang responded with an "oh".
"Did you co to R Country by yourself?" After putting on his shoes, Li Mochan grabbed his car keys and walked out quickly.
Ye Jiuliang pursed her lips and said "Hmm", "I originally wanted to surprise you, but the weather didn’t cooperate."
Couldn’t even get a taxi, it’s really speechless.
"You already surprised ." Li Mochan said with a helpless smile.
Coming to R Country alone late at night, it was more of a shock than a surprise.
Detecting the helplessness in his voice, Ye Jiuliang’s eyes curved with a smile, "Focus on driving, I’m hanging up now."
"Don’t wander around." Li Mochan instructed uneasily.
"Got it."
After hanging up, Ye Jiuliang turned and walked toward a nearby bench.
She raised her hand and touched her noticeable belly, a faint smile at the corner of her lips, "You miss daddy too, right?"
Amidst the torrential rain, a black luxury car sped along the highway at an alarming speed like an arrow off the string.
The puddles on the ground splashed into circles of water, carrying a hint of lancholy beauty.
Racing all the way to the airport, Li Mochan slamd the car door shut and rushed into the airport.
Looking around, he still couldn’t find that familiar silhouette.
His once-proud composure began to fade, and a trace of urgency appeared between Li Mochan’s brows.
Forgot to ask the exact location.
Right, check the surveillance.
As he was about to turn around and run, a woman’s cool voice ca from afar, stopping him in his tracks.
"Li Mochan, I’m here."
Li Mochan turned abruptly, looking towards the second floor at the source of the voice.
In the empty corridor, the woman’s slender figure was imdiately noticeable.
Li Mochan let out a sigh of relief and took long, quick strides.
Eventually, he broke into a jog.
The tall figure weaving through the airport beca an unexpected, unique sight.
Ye Jiuliang’s gaze followed his running figure, the corners of her rosy lips pressing into a radiant smile.
In no ti, the man had reached her, his well-defined hand pulling her into his embrace.
"You little rascal, you need a good talking to."
His rich, magnetic voice entered her ears, carrying a trace of affection.
Ye Jiuliang chuckled softly, inhaling the cool fragrance from him, feeling completely at ease.
She raised her head from his embrace, her brows arched in a playful smile, "The little one misses you, so I brought him to see you."
"He misses , and you don’t?" Li Mochan lowered his gaze to her, focusing on the key point.
Ye Jiuliang laughed lightly, giving his lips a gentle peck, "Of course I do, I’ve been missing you so much I can’t eat or drink."
Though her tone seed insincere, Li Mochan still found it pleasing to hear.
"Are you hungry?"
Ye Jiuliang curved her lips, "I am."
"Let’s go." Li Mochan wrapped an arm around her and headed downstairs, "What do you want to eat?"
"Anything tasty will do." She replied.
"Why did you go out without bringing anything, not even charging your phone?" Li Mochan nagged.
Ye Jiuliang snuggled into his embrace, recounting the events at the club.
"Are you hurt?" Li Mochan opened the car door, and Ye Jiuliang got in.
Li Mochan walked around to the other side, getting in as he closed the umbrella.
"Yes, I was shocked. I need sothing delicious to calm down." Ye Jiuliang said as she buckled her seatbelt.
Li Mochan chuckled and started the car to leave.
They stopped to buy so late-night snacks and went straight back to the hotel.
Without any luggage, Ye Jiuliang directly wore Li Mochan’s clothes.
The loose T-shirt was manageable, but the pants were too long, she had to tie a knot in the cuffs.
Not even caring to dry her hair, she sat in front of the sofa and started eating the midnight snacks.
Li Mochan fetched a hairdryer and sat beside her.
Seeing her puffed cheeks, he said with amusent, "Eat slowly, don’t choke."
Ye Jiuliang nodded randomly, biting into a piece of fried chicken.
The sound of the hairdryer whirred in the room.
"Once I finish what I need to do in the next couple of days, I’ll take you out to have fun." Li Mochan said in a low voice while drying her hair.
Hearing about going out to have fun, Ye Jiuliang instantly perked up, "You said it."
Li Mochan nodded, "How is Aunt doing?"
"She’s okay, just a bit of gastrointestinal discomfort, Uncle has gone to J City too."
Uncle is in J City too?
Li Mochan’s deep eyes paused slightly, "Is Ji Mingqian still there?"
Ye Jiuliang nodded, "Asheng is there, how could he possibly leave?"
"If he doesn’t leave, they won’t be able to hide it from Uncle for long." Li Mochan said calmly.
Uncle seems gentle and polite, but he’s not easy to fool, he’ll notice at the slightest sign.
Hearing this, Ye Jiuliang stopped eating and turned to him, "I sense that Uncle might strongly oppose this?"
"He will." He said.
Ye Jiuliang was stunned and confird, "You an Uncle will strongly oppose it?"
Li Mochan nodded, knowing his uncle well, if he found out about this, there would be no room for negotiation, separation would be inevitable.
"To what extent would the opposition be?" Ye Jiuliang asked curiously.
She needed to gauge the situation for Aqian, so he could be ntally prepared.
"No negotiation on their separation."
"What?"
Ye Jiuliang was surprised, it was this serious?
Was it true?
Uncle’s temper seed pretty good after all.
Seeing her confusion, Li Mochan explained, "Whether it’s due to the blow from Uncle’s friend’s incident or from other considerations, there’s almost no room for compromise on this matter with Uncle."
Turning off the hairdryer, he took a tissue to wipe her mouth, "This depends on Asheng and them making an effort, and when Uncle asks, we must say we don’t know, otherwise Uncle will only get angrier and the situation will worsen."
Ye Jiuliang furrowed her brows, if it’s so serious, then Aqian is in for a rough ti.
"Aren’t you eating anymore?" Li Mochan glanced at the table still full of food, "Are you full?"
Ye Jiuliang picked up the chopsticks, "I’m eating."
Li Mochan chuckled silently, nothing could stop his little rascal from eating.
After finishing the midnight snacks, it was already close to two o’clock.
The rain had eased, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the rainwater had accumulated, with leaves drifting on the water that had blown in from sowhere.
Ye Jiuliang nestled in Li Mochan’s embrace, holding a tablet in her hands while playing a ga.
Her eyes were fixed on the ga screen, "Don’t you have work tomorrow, if you’re tired, you should sleep first."
Li Mochan reached out and took the tablet, placing it facedown on the bedside table.
"With you here, how could I be tired."
His low, rich voice was very captivating.
Ye Jiuliang glanced up, his handso face enlarged in front of her.
"Hey, you have work tomorrow." She reminded him.
"I know."
"I haven’t finished my ga yet."
"..."
"Hey, Li Mochan, it’s already past two in the morning."
"Shh."
He didn’t want to know anything, he only knew she was by his side.
