Gu Xinuo finished the small cookies and wiped her hands, "Don’t worry, I know."

"These little cookies look kind of familiar," Ye Jiuliang said teasingly as he looked at the plate of small cookies she had placed beside her, feigning ignorance.

Gu Xinuo curved her lips, "I scammed them from Achen."

Seeing her smile without a care in the world, Ye Jiuliang silently criticized in his heart, he’d only be willing to let you scam him.

After finishing the call, Ye Jiuliang stepped out of the room.

In the stairway, he happened to run into Jiang Yisheng who was about to go downstairs.

"Are you going out too?" Ye Jiuliang asked, seeing him with a mask and hat in hand.

Jiang Yisheng, "I’m heading to the bookstore, are you going out as well?"

"Moving my luggage," she replied.

Jiang Yisheng, puzzled, "Hmm?"

"I used to live in Jinxiu Linting."

"Need my help?"

Ye Jiuliang slightly shook her head, "No, my luggage isn’t much."

Moments later, two cars left Mo Garden one after the other.

Arriving at Jinxiu Linting, Ye Jiuliang parked the car and briskly walked up the steps.

She pulled out her keys to unlock the door, only to find it wasn’t locked.

She frowned, could there have been a burglary?

Ye Jiuliang gently pushed the door open with careful movements; the next second, the sight of a suitcase thrown near the entrance relaxed her expression.

When did Aqian come back?

She closed the door and strolled in leisurely.

No one was in the living room, even less so in the kitchen.

Tossing her keys on the table, she headed upstairs.

"Ji Mingqian, Ji Mingqian..."

"Are you calling for a soul or something?" The man, wearing a bathrobe, emerged from the bedroom, his hair dyed a color she couldn’t make out, and his golden locks still dripping water.

At first glance, Ye Jiuliang was also drawn to his blonde hair, "What did you do to your hair?"

"Need it for a shoot, I’ll dye it back in a few days," he said, grabbing a handful of his hair with resignation.

She asked him, "Why did you suddenly come back?"

"Finished shooting the film," replied Ji Mingqian, and then, as if remembering something, he sniffed, "Weren’t you staying at Li Mochan’s place? What are you doing back here?"

Ye Jiuliang grinned, "Packing up my luggage."

"..."

Oh, his temper.

Ji Mingqian rolled his eyes at her, "Scram, scram, scram, get out of here quickly."

"Let’s pack up and go for hotpot," Ye Jiuliang chuckled lightly, "Give some face, Big Boss Qian."

Ji Mingqian, "Going to Li Mochan’s place to eat?"

She nodded, and he immediately refused, "I’m not going to Li Mochan’s place, I get annoyed just seeing him."

"Aqian, you’re not scared of Li Mochan, are you?" Ye Jiuliang looked at him with a teasing smile, "Makes sense, you couldn’t beat him in a fight, let alone in gaming."

"What a joke, I would lose to him in gaming?" Ji Mingqian’s fighting spirit flared up instantly at the mention of gaming.

Leaning against the door frame, Ye Jiuliang openly said, "I lost to him before."

"What?" His magnetic voice altered, Ji Mingqian angrily reproached, "Ye Jiuliang, even if you’re lusting after his good looks, you can’t lose to him, our K organization cannot lose to his Dark Hall."

Ye Jiuliang brought a fist up to her lips, "Isn’t that a bit of a stretch?"

"No way, just wait, I have to challenge Li Mochan today, we K organization can’t lose this face."

With that, he turned and walked back into the room.

Ye Jiuliang’s eyebrows rose slightly, it seemed there would be a good show tonight.

Her luggage wasn’t much, just one suitcase.

"Ye Jiuliang, what’s that you’re holding?" Ji Mingqian, already dressed, was waiting downstairs, and hearing her footsteps, he turned his head and was almost speechless.

Ye Jiuliang set down the suitcase and glanced at the teddy bear in her arms, her lips curving slightly, "Teddy bear, don’t you recognize it?"

"I obviously know that’s a teddy bear, when did you become interested in this sort of thing?" Such a girly item does not go well with you, Master Jiu.

Ye Jiuliang said, "It was a gift from Li Mochan, is that okay?"

Ji Mingqian, "..."

Whatever.

Childish.

"Aren’t you going to come over and help with the luggage? Can you be a bit more gentlemanly?" Ye Jiuliang complained.

Ji Mingqian glanced at the teddy bear that was nearly as tall as a person and really wanted to say, I’m not a gentleman, have your Li Mochan come and carry it for you.

But in the end, he still walked over and helped her with the luggage.

"Let’s go, ancestor."

Ye Jiuliang’s lips curved into a smile, "Sure, grandson."

Ji Mingqian felt like he was going to go crazy, he really wanted to hit her.

As soon as they got into the car, Li Mochan called.

Ye Jiuliang held the teddy bear by the head, bringing the phone to her ear; the man’s deep voice came through.

"Little wolf cub, where are you?"

"Moving luggage, Mohan, let’s have hot pot tonight," Ye Jiuliang said with smiling eyes.

Next to her, Ji Mingqian snorted, "Gross."

The muttering reached Li Mochan’s ears, his deep eyes suddenly darkened, "Who’s next to you?"

"Ji Mingqian, we’ll head back to Mo Garden after shopping for groceries."

Li Mochan’s lips tightened slightly, "You’re going to the supermarket again?"

"What else are we supposed to eat for dinner if we don’t go to the supermarket?" Hearing the jealousy in his tone, Ye Jiuliang couldn’t help but laugh.

"I’ll stop talking now, we’ve reached the supermarket, see you tonight."

As soon as the call ended, Ji Mingqian made a vomiting face, "I’m so disgusted I won’t be able to eat tonight."

"Asking for a beating, aren’t you?" Ye Jiuliang retorted with a knock on his head.

After Ji Mingqian got all geared up, they finally got out of the car.

They often ate hotpot together, so they already knew exactly what ingredients to buy. They started raiding the supermarket with their shopping cart.

Fearing that Ji Mingqian would be recognized, they didn’t dare to stay long, quickly filling up the cart and rushing to checkout.

The supermarket wasn’t busy at this time, sparing them from having to queue.

"I’m sorry, sir, our store’s equipment broke yesterday and hasn’t been fixed yet; we can only accept cash payments," the cashier apologized.

Ji Mingqian put away his card and turned to look at Ye Jiuliang, "Did you bring any cash?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"What do you think?" Ye Jiuliang shrugged.

"Then I’ll go withdraw some cash; you wait here," Ji Mingqian said.

Catching a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, Ye Jiuliang smiled and grabbed his arm, "Wait a second."

Ji Mingqian looked at her through his sunglasses, puzzled, "What are you stopping me for?"

Ye Jiuliang didn’t answer him and took off towards the person across from them.

"Ajiu, you..."

Following her, Ji Mingqian saw a person dressed similarly to him and felt vaguely that he recognized the person.

"Yisheng, what are you doing here?" Ye Jiuliang asked.

Jiang Yisheng adjusted the hat on his head, his voice tinged with mirth, "My cousin asked me to come over and help you carry things."

That jealous cousin of his, must have sent him here as a guard against any potential rivals.

Ye Jiuliang touched her nose and gave an embarrassed smile.

Li Mochan, this jealousy god.

Ji Mingqian still hadn’t recognized the person but saw Ye Jiuliang returning with him.

Jiang Yisheng took out his wallet to pay, Ji Mingqian pulled Ye Jiuliang aside and asked in a low voice, "Who is he?"

Ye Jiuliang looked at him with a questioning gaze, "You don’t recognize him?"

Ji Mingqian was confused, "Who is it?"
