The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 852: You’re More Popular Than Him (3)

Chapter 852: Chapter 852: You’re More Popular Than Him (3)

"Mo, Xiaobai is more popular than both of us." Ye Jiuliang leaned into Li Mochan’s arms, her gaze falling on the little one surrounded by everyone.

Li Mochan chuckled softly, taking advantage of an unguarded moment to plant a light kiss on her forehead, "No worries, you are more popular with me."

Ye Jiuliang’s heart felt sweet, she looked up at him and clicked her tongue, "Talking so sweetly, seems like you didn’t add honey to the chicken soup just now?"

Detecting the underlying meaning in her words, the smile in Li Mochan’s eyes deepened, "What do you think?"

The couple exchanged a knowing smile.

Everyone was busy playing with Xiaobai, so they didn’t notice the little gestures between the two of them.

Disliking the hospital smell, and preferring the convenience of staying at home for postpartum recovery, Ye Jiuliang couldn’t wait any longer and decided to discharge today instead of tomorrow.

In the afternoon, the group carrying their bags left the hospital with grandeur.

Old Madam Jiang said that you shouldn’t catch a cold right after childbirth, so the car windows were tightly shut.

In the back seat, Ye Jiuliang looked at the layers of clothes wrapped around her, making her look like a rice dumpling, even her head was snugly covered with a hat.

"..."

This outfit seemed fit for enduring the winter in a polar region.

Had it not been for the AC, she reckoned she might have gotten heat stroke.

"Do I look like a two-hundred-pound fatty?" Ye Jiuliang asked the person beside her, genuinely curious.

Li Mochan chuckled deeply, strong survival instincts kicked in, "No."

"Liar, your expression already betrayed you." Ye Jiuliang teased.

Upon arriving at the castle, Li Mochan opened the car door, reminding her, "Stay in the car for now."

Ye Jiuliang watched him close the car door, and in the next moment, he was already at her side’s car door.

The door opened, and he bent down into the car.

With one long arm, he reached around her waist. Ye Jiuliang lightly smiled and put her arms around his neck.

Li Mochan easily lifted her out and quickened his pace towards the house.

On the other side, Veya cradled Xiaobai, worried he might catch a draft, so he was wrapped up super snugly with a hat and blanket.

Perhaps jostled while being carried, and with the noise around, upon entering the living room, Xiaobai was startled awake.

"Wah wah wah..."

The loud cries echoed in the living room, sounding so heart-wrenching as if someone bullied him.

Veya handed Xiaobai to Old Madam Jiang and hurried to the kitchen, "He must be hungry, I’ll go make some milk."

"Xiaobai, don’t cry, you’ll have food soon, be a good boy," Old Madam Jiang soothed gently.

Soon after, Veya brought the bottle and swiftly handed it to Old Madam Jiang.

As soon as the food was available, Xiaobai immediately stopped crying and returned to his previous quiet state.

His changing expressions amused Ye Yuan and the group couldn’t help but laugh.

The little one who roared for so long hadn’t shed a single tear.

...

In the evening, light rain started to fall outside.

Since returning from the hospital, Ji Mingqian stayed in the hotel catching up on sleep.

It wasn’t until Chen Xin’s persistent calls that he lazily woke up.

Sliding to answer, "What’s up?"

"Big boss, you’re trending again, it’s said you’re acting like a diva, angrily smashing a reporter’s camera and speaking rudely to him." On the other end, Chen Xin said anxiously while looking at the Weibo comments.

"There are even photos as evidence, comments related to you are all over Weibo now."

He had hoped to enjoy a perfect holiday for a few days, unaware another incident would arise.

Ji Mingqian squinted his eyes slightly, deliberating before vaguely recalling such an incident seemed to have happened.

If his guess is accurate, it must have been the incident at the airport this morning.

Looks like that reporter must have ignored his warning.

"Big boss, how should we handle this?" Since he kept silent, Chen Xin grew even more anxious.

"I’ll handle it myself, you all continue on your holiday, go have fun." Ji Mingqian said nonchalantly, clearly not taking the matter to heart.

Since he said he could manage it himself, Chen Xin felt relieved, "Got it, then you better handle it quickly, such matters shouldn’t be delayed."

Ji Mingqian casually acknowledged with a ’got it’, then hung up.

Staring at the white ceiling for a while, he sat up.

Reaching for his laptop, his fingers rapidly danced over the keyboard, soon a cunning smile appeared on his lips.

He deliberately stirred this up, so don’t blame him for it.

After dealing with the matter, Ji Mingqian closed the laptop and picked up his phone again.

After ruminating for a moment, he opened the Weibo page, pausing his fingers.

The latest Weibo post remained from the day before yesterday, for the past couple of months he had been posting once every two or three days, Chen Xin and the others said it was a miracle, fans also noticed he had become more active.

Little did they know, he had his own thoughts about it.

"Woof woof woof..."

All of a sudden, Ergou ran to his feet, and Ji Mingqian, seeing the thing in its mouth, had a sudden flash of inspiration.

He reached out to take the lie detector from Ergou’s mouth, "Ergou, let me borrow this."

This was something he randomly bought from a boutique shop when passing by while buying breakfast in the morning.

Ji Mingqian placed the lie detector on the table, taking two photos of it.

After uploading the photos to Weibo, thinking for a while, he added a caption, "Lie detectors are quite accurate, aren’t they?"

After posting on Weibo, he switched accounts, reflexively entering that person’s Weibo.

His activities remained at over two months ago, without updates.

Ji Mingqian sighed softly, exiting Weibo, he placed the phone down in passing.

His gaze inadvertently settled on the lie detector on the table, hesitating slightly, he eventually placed his hand on it.

Pressing the start button, a low voice sounded, "I have no one I like."

Red and green lights alternated, waiting for two seconds, an electric current ran through his palm.

Ji Mingqian abruptly withdrew his hand, a self-deprecating chill crept up his lips.

Lie detectors are accurate, aren’t they?

At least for him, it was so.

...

The news of Ji Mingqian trending quickly spread like wildfire, and naturally, Ye Jiuliang and the others heard about it too.

After dinner, Gu Xinuo and Chu Chen visited, understanding why Ji Mingqian wasn’t there, they didn’t ask further.

They weren’t worried about the trending news, as for Ji Mingqian, it was a trivial matter, something that could be handled with ease.

Xiaobai was carried downstairs by Old Madam Jiang and others, while Ye Jiuliang and the three others chatted upstairs, speaking freely without outsiders, the topics were without restraint.

"When are you returning to headquarters?" Ye Jiuliang asked.

"We’re leaving early tomorrow, headquarters is quite busy recently." Chu Chen looked at her with a smirk, "Master Jiu has given birth and can now stop being a hands-off manager, right?"

He and Anuo had been busy with headquarter matters, their honeymoon had barely started before they had to return, which was quite unsatisfying.
