Chapter 1: Rebirth, Before the Divorce!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Peng!”

Ji Nuan lifted her head from where she was laying in the cold prison and glanced towards the guard who had thrown a plate of cold rice on the floor. She did not move to sit up.

“Acting aloof? You love to eat, and yet you’re not eating!”

The prison guard reached his foot in and cruelly crushed the rice under his feet.

He had heard that this Ji Nuan dared to attempt to murder Miss Yun from the Yun family, who had specially ordered him to torture her well in prison.

Ji Nuan sat in the corner; her eyes fixed blankly on the dirtied food on the floor.

Outside the cell, the sound of the television could suddenly be heard from the prison guard’s room.

“Shine Group’s CEO Mo Jingshen has returned to the country today. Right now, he has arrived at Hai Cheng-”

“Shine Group is Asia’s largest banking enterprise. Mo Jingshen officially took over the company seven years ago. Today his position as a corporate tycoon is unshakable…”

Ji Nuan’s silent expression froze in an instant. She rushed up to the door, trying her best to look out of it.

The prison guard turned around to see her sorry figure kneeling by the door with a frantic expression. Her hands held tightly on to the cold cell door; her red eyes fixed towards the television.

“What are you looking at? Do you even know whom the news is speaking about? A woman like you doesn’t even have the right to help such a person adjust his shoes.”

Ji Nuan lowered her head and smiled bitterly.

Indeed, the person that she was today was not even worthy of tying Mo Jingshen’s shoes.

It did not matter if this person who had become Shine Group’s CEO was once her husband ten years ago.

She was once ambitious, proud, and stubborn. All she wanted was a divorce, to completely push away this man who spoiled her and always protected her within the palm of his hand.

For a whole ten years, he never once showed up again.

But what did the television say earlier?

Mo Jingshen returned? He came back from America?

From the television came the voice of the reporter struggling to ask his question: “CEO Mo! Rumors say that the two of you married two months ago in America. Is this trip back to the country meant to bring your beloved wife-”

Ji Nuan’s eyes widened.

He… got married?

That is true. Not mentioning his status today, even ten years ago he was an influential figure. With his good looks, no one could match up to him. Countless rich ladies had lined up dreaming to one day marry him.

Right now, he must be very happy.

“CEO Mo, you don’t often speak in front of the media, but since this is a rare occasion when you’ve returned to the country, could you speak about Shine Group’s current…”

“Is the lady following behind you Mrs. Mo? Mrs. Mo is indeed very beautiful.”

A sweet female voice then spoke up. “I apologize, Mr. Mo won’t be accepting any media interviews. Everyone, please move back.”

Hearing that voice, Ji Nuan felt as though lightning struck her.

That voice… is her sister Ji Mengran!

The Ji Mengran who suddenly disappeared right before the Ji Family went bankrupt!

At that time, when she insisted on a divorce, it was this sister who encouraged her to try all sorts of incredulous methods including cutting her wrist to suicide, causing Mo Jingshen to distance from her gradually before eventually divorcing her.

Ji Nuan began to laugh. She laughed till the point where her lungs hurt.

“Since CEO Mo won’t be giving any interviews, will Mrs. Mo be willing to say a few words?”

The reporters remained persistent in their questioning. Ji Mengran followed behind Mo Jingshen; her face brightened up with a smile.

Yet, at this moment, Mo Jingshen spoke up. His voice was apathetic with no warmth whatsoever. “She is not Mrs. Mo.”

Ji Mengran’s smile stiffened. Uncomfortably, she licked her lips to hide her embarrassment.

Indeed, she is not…

The surrounding reporters fell into a weird silence until suddenly a voice rang up, “Rumours say that since CEO Mo divorced ten years ago, there has not been another woman…”

Ji Nuan suddenly could not hear the sound from the television anymore.

A sharp pain suddenly came from her abdomen, causing her to fall against the floor as blood rose up from within her chest, spurting out of her throat.

It seemed that these people had been slowly feeding her poison in the past three months.

Finally, was her life going to end here?

——–

Hot…

So hot …

Ji Nuan slowly regained consciousness and experienced a sharp pain coming from her lower body.

It was as though she was being roughly intruded upon in an instant.

“Uu…”

It hurt to the point where her body stiffened. A whimper escaped from her lips, but was instantly quietened by the man on top of her who sealed her lips with a kiss.

The next time she regained consciousness, Ji Nuan found herself looking at an expensive chandelier hanging above her.

She laid upon silk sheets that were soft and expensive. It was as though she was laying upon a cloud—it was unbelievably comfortable.

Where was she?

She sat up, staring in disbelief at her surroundings.

This was clearly the room that she once shared with Mo Jingshen in Hai Cheng’s Yu Garden!

How did she return here?

Wasn’t the Yu Garden sealed away a few years ago due to being unoccupied for too long?

The aching pain of her lower body reminded her that this was not a dream. She glanced down at herself; the young body’s skin was soft and white as though it had not experienced the past ten years of pain and suffering. Instead, her shoulder and collarbone were littered with love bites.

She quickly pushed the blanket off herself, rushing into the bathroom to look at her reflection.

Ten years ago, Ji Nuan was Hai Cheng’s most prominent lady. With a face praised by all, she was beautiful to the point where no one could match up. Every man who met her would instantly soften deep in their bones. As long as she smiled, numerous men would offer their lives to her.

Ji Nuan could not believe the face staring back at herself in the mirror.

Had she undergone… rebirth?

Before she could recover from her shock, the room door was suddenly pushed open. A sweet voice called out, “Big sister, last night did you and Brother Jing Shen…”

Seeing the love bites on her body, that voice instantly became sharp. “You slept together?!”

Shock ran through Ji Nuan’s body. Turning around, she saw the sour face of Ji Mengran.

This scene was so familiar…

Not only had she reborn, but she had returned to ten years ago! The very month before Mo Jingshen divorced her!

Last night was the first time she shared a bed with Mo Jingshen after half a year of marriage.

She was always against this so-called family marriage alliance, willfully insisting on a divorce.

Mo Jingshen was always considerate of her feelings and had never forced her.

During the month before their divorce, he endured all of her temper outbursts, and because she said that she didn’t want to see him, he would even work at the office till late, choosing to only return when she was asleep or not at all.

Yet, everything that happened last night… was Ji Mengran’s idea.

She said that so long as Ji Nuan placed some medicine in his wine and found some woman for him, it would be sufficient evidence that he was having an affair. She could then apply for a divorce.

What kind of man was Mo Jingshen? Even if he had no defense in his own home, the moment he realized there was a problem with his wine, he instantly refused anyone from touching him and tossed Ji Nuan—who was about to escape—into their room in a fit of rage.

It was also this night that Ji Nuan saw Mo Jingshen’s other side for the first time in her life.

He was not as calm and gentle as he seemed, and he was not capable of enduring her behavior forever. He had pressed her down on the bed, ignoring her cries and slaps, fulfilling his role as a husband without a care for anything else in the world for the entire night.

Chapter 2: She Could Not Recall Herself Ever Being the One to Initiate Contact with Him
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Everything that happened last night felt so clear in her memories… which meant that she had really reborn!

“Big sister, didn’t we promise that after Brother Jing Shen drank that cup of wine, I would drive him out of the Yu Garden?” Ji Mengran walked toward her, her voice hiding her unhappiness.

Ji Nuan woke up from her daze, staring at her sister who often visited her at Yu Garden ever since her marriage.

Without taking notice of the coldness that flashed by Ji Nuan’s eyes, Ji Mengran grumbled, “How did you end up sleeping in his bed instead?”

Hearing this, Ji Nuan smiled and asked, “His bed? Isn’t this our wedding room?”

“I’m just anxious for you! Now that the plan is messed up, god knows for how long your divorce will be delayed for!” Ji Mengran knitted her brows.

Ji Nuan walked towards her, looking at the suspicious transparent silk outerwear and the intricate makeup she wore.

Ji Nuan asked indifferently, “Meng Ran, why did you wear so little? Thank god I didn’t have you send him home last night. If anything had happened, how would I be able to face our family?”

“Ah? I…” Ji Mengran carefully hid the guilt in her eyes. “It was too hot last night, so I changed into a thinner set of clothes.”

“It’s the beginning of spring, is it that hot?”

“It’s not especially hot… Big sister, since the plan didn’t work, I think if this goes on you should just pretend to suicide!” Ji Mengran felt that something was off and quickly changed the topic.

“Oh? Suicide…” Ji Nuan dragged out the word.

Thinking back, from the moment Mo Jingshen and she had gotten engaged, it was as though Ji Mengran had become a different person. She often spoke of marriage failures in rich families, bringing up all sorts of examples, causing Ji Nuan who did not want to get married to become even more scared and to stay away from Mo Jingshen.

“How about cutting your wrist? If he sees that you would rather die than stay by his side, perhaps he would agree to your wish,” Meng Ran suggested innocently.

“Doing so will have risks, what if I lose too much blood and no one comes to save me?” Ji Nuan smiled, yet her smile held no warmth whatsoever.

“Aiya, what are you worrying for! Regardless of whether Brother Jing Shen rushes back, the moment it becomes dangerous I will immediately call for a doctor!”

Ji Nuan kept silent, staring suspiciously at Meng Ran who was only a year younger than her.

She could not forget that back when she slit her wrists, lying in that tub filled with hot water, she lost so much blood she could not even move. Even so, Ji Mengran did not inform the doctor or even Mo Jingshen.

Had Mo Jingshen not suddenly returned and suspected something was wrong, kicking the door down and carrying her out from that blood-filled tub, she probably would not have lived to obtain the divorce papers.

Ji Nuan’s smile had some degree of coldness; it showed both laziness and lack of care. “I’ll think about it. However, since I didn’t sleep at all last night, right now I want to get some rest.”

Hearing her say that she did not sleep at all last night, Ji Mengran hid the jealousy revealed in her eyes and bit her lip. “Then… you must consider it through. I’ll come to find you again tomorrow.”

“All right, I won’t send you off.”

Ji Nuan stood unmoving, watching Ji Mengran disappear from her line of sight.

The room was silent.

She turned to look at the room that was once deep within her memories. Her hands touched the soft blanket; it was warm as though it still retained the heat left behind by Mo Jingshen.

Everything could restart again.

Did she still want a divorce?

Of course not!

In her past life, she was naive and trusting. Her relatives bullied her, her marriage was ruined, and her father passed away tragically. She had lost everything and was even wrongly imprisoned.

In this life, not only would she be Mo Jingshen’s wife for the rest of his life, but she would also take back her pride and everything else she once lost. She would not allow herself to be used by anyone again!

But right now, the biggest difficulty was…

She remembered that in her past life, after last night, Mo Jingshen rarely returned to the Yu Garden. The last time she saw him was the day she woke up after attempting suicide. As she wished, he left the divorce papers by her bedside and completely disappeared from her life.

That cold and distant expression of his, till this day, remains in her mind.

Ji Nuan raised her hand to hold her temple.

Mo Jingshen, that man, when he spoiled her, he was limitless with his love; and when he was cold, he was completely untouchable like an ice mountain.

How would she coax him back?

—-

In the evening, the CEO’s assistant stared in surprise at Ji Nuan who suddenly showed up and rushed forward to receive her.

“Miss Ji, why are you here?”

Ji Nuan did not bother to correct his way of addressing. After all, she once prevented anyone from addressing her as Mrs. Mo.

She glanced around, asking, “Is he in the office?”

Shen Mu understood that she was asking for CEO Mo but could not tell if she came to cause trouble for him.

“CEO Mo is currently in a meeting. He will probably need an hour or so before he finishes.”

“That’s fine. I’ll go up and wait for him.”

After being brought to the CEO office, Ji Nuan thanked Assistant Shen and walked in alone.

It was a modern office space, both large and comfortable. The design was simple yet had the effect of seeming luxurious. The most attention-grabbing portion was the 270 degrees floor-to-ceiling window. It was clear and bright.

Today’s Mo Jingshen had yet to take over the family business and was not Shine’s CEO.

A few years ago, he set up this technology company and within a short span of three years, he managed to monopolize most of the country’s technological resources. The company that was initially worth 500 thousand yuan was now worth 20 billion yuan.

Now that Mo Jingshen was already the prominent Mo Group’s CEO, four years from now when he becomes Shine International Group’s CEO, he would surely become a legend in the corporate world.

Ji Nuan waited for nearly an hour yet never once caught sight of him.

She barely rested at all last night, and the whole of today was consumed with ruminating about her rebirth. By now, her eyes could no longer remain open for long.

When Mo Jingshen returned to his office space, this was the scene he saw:

Ji Nuan—who wore a thin long dress—laying upon his dark leather sofa with her eyes closed. Her peaceful expression made her seem even more attractive under the warm office light.

Feeling someone’s eyes on her, Ji Nuan opened her eyes in alarm but quickly became lost in his dark eyes that seemed to stare deeply into hers.

She immediately sat up, gazing up at that man who stood silently in the office.

Just as she remembered he stood tall, dressed in a clean pair of suit. His figure was perfect to the point that no one could find faults, and his features were equally attractive.

“You’re back…” Ji Nuan stood up.

“En.” Mo Jingshen made a sound of agreement as he walked toward his desk.

Ji Nuan did not think through her actions and subconsciously rushed forward to grab onto his elbow.

This action not only surprised Mo Jingshen but caused Ji Nuan to feel embarrassed. It would be weird to remove her hand at this point, but keeping it there was strange as well…

She could not recall herself ever being the one to initiate contact with him.

Mo Jingshen glanced at her snow-white hand around his elbow, and then slowly and firmly removed his arm from her touch. He asked, sounding cold and light, “Do you need anything?”

Chapter 3: You’ve Already Bedded Me, What More Can I Play At?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Nuan raised her head, asking him, “Do you want to come back to the Yu Garden for dinner tonight?”

Mo Jingshen loosened his tie, keeping silent.

“I learned to make a few dishes from Auntie Chen~.”

Hearing this, Mo Jingshen finally looked her in the eye. “You? Cooking?”

The way he said it was as though she was a rich lady who would not even dip her fingers in spring water!

Even if she once was like that…

Cough, but everything was different now!

“En. Do you want to give it a taste?” Ji Nuan glanced up at him; her brows tilted with her smile.

Mo Jingshen smiled coldly. “Since medicine didn’t work, are you planning to use poison this time?”

“…”

Indeed, she had made too many mistakes. After all, the use of the medicine had only occurred yesterday.

In the past… Thinking back, Ji Nuan too felt that she had been very willful. With her new experiences in mind, the person she was in the past seemed almost ridiculous.

Ji Nuan raised her head to look at him causing the light to fall on her neck. He did not know if she did this on purpose or not, but this caused the love bites on her collarbone to come into his line of sight.

“Just using that medicine alone caused you to torture me for the whole night. If I still used poison, the first one to die will probably be me!” She spoke openly, her eyes reflecting no dishonesty whatsoever.

Mo Jingshen stared at her with his dark eyes.

Indeed, last night he did not hold back whatsoever. This morning when he looked at how she limply laid on the sheets, her body littered with the marks left behind by him, he headed for the office immediately unwilling to hear how she would once more insist on a divorce when she woke up.

“After last night, based on the hatred you hold for me, it’s not surprising if you tried to kill us both together,” Mo Jingshen said coldly.

“Killing us both together? Why don’t I just attach a time bomb to myself to come and find you! Isn’t that more straightforward?”

Mo Jingshen did not bother to pay her any mind.

Ji Nuan remained standing there for a long time; her eyes fixed on him. Even as Mo Jingshen treated her like air, focusing on his work, she stood there unmoved.

Mo Jingshen rubbed his brows. “What on earth do you want?”

“I want to have dinner with you,” Ji Nuan replied straight to the point.

Mo Jingshen frowned. “For the sake of a divorce, you really are willing to do anything. What act are you putting on?”

Soft tactics seemed not to affect this man. Did that mean she had to go hard?

She went forward and laid her head on his desk, staring at him closely as he worked.

They say that a man is the most attractive when he is working, but she felt that her husband was attractive at every moment. In the past, which screw exactly was she missing in her head that she insisted on divorcing this man?

Mo Jingshen flipped open a page of a document. Ji Nuan moved her hand forward to block him from reading it. Earlier on she already noticed that it was the company’s progress report. Even if she messed with it, there probably would not be much trouble caused.

“Removed your hand.” Mo Jingshen could no longer ignore her.

Ji Nuan leaned her face close to him, smiling brightly.”You say, do you want to go home?”

Ji Nuan indeed had an attractive face. At this moment, her smile made her look like a charming young lady.

He spoke calmly, “I’m working.”

Ji Nuan blinked, unmoved. “I can wait for you to finish your work and return home together.”

“I still have a video conference tonight. You head back first.” Just as before, his eyes did not hold much emotion.

“That’s fine! I’ll wait for you!”

Mo Jingshen closed the file in his hands and stared at her coldly. “What are you playing at this time?”

Ji Nuan’s expression was especially calm. She even fluttered her lashes at him on purpose. “I’ve already slept with you. What more can I play at?”

“…” Mo Jingshen really wanted to throw her out.

—-

He said that he had a video conference and he really left for it. Mo Jingshen did not plan on leaving anytime to spend with her whatsoever.

Two hours passed just like that, and Mo Jingshen did not return once.

Having just fallen asleep on the sofa, Ji Nuan woke in shock once more.

Could it be that he planned to just leave her here without any care? Would he leave her here to sleep for the whole night?

After all, what she did in the past was really too much. It was not completely unlikely that he planned to leave her behind.

Thinking for a while, Ji Nuan stood up to pushed open the other door in the office. Inside was Mo Jingshen’s break room.

There was a bathroom, a bed, and some living necessities.

Ji Nuan was used to showering every night before 10 p.m. In her past life, when she was imprisoned, she was only allowed to shower once a month. As a result, she often felt that ants were crawling on her body. Now she was sensitive to the point where even the slightest bit of sweat on her body made her uncomfortable.

Should she take the chance to shower before Mo Jingshen returns?

She walked in, grabbing a random white dress shirt from the closet.

Ten minutes later, Mo Jingshen returned from his meeting to see that Ji Nuan had vanished.

The office was completely quiet, with Ji Nuan’s fresh scent faintly lingering in the air.

Mo Jingshen stared at the empty office, remaining silent for a long moment. Just as he was about to pick up his jacket from the back of the office chair, he suddenly heard movements coming from his break room.

Was she still here?

Ji Nuan walked out of the bathroom in Mo Jingshen’s white dress shirt, drying her long hair that was still dripping wet.

At the sound of the door opening, she glanced up to see Mo Jingshen by the door.

She instantly stiffened.

Mo Jingshen did not expect to see such a scene when he entered. Not only did Ji Nuan shower here, but she stood under the warm light of the room in his shirt. Her eyes seemed slightly teary and dazed.

His shirt was very large, and the collar shifted at this moment to reveal a large patch of snow-white skin.

Ji Nuan felt burned by his gaze and consciously rushed to cover her own legs, flushing red at the awareness of the skin she could not cover.

“I thought you planned to leave me here alone tonight…” She placed down the towel, finding a random excuse to explain why she was in the room without permission.

Mo Jingshen looked away. “Wear your own clothes!”

“I didn’t bring clothes to change, but I called the Yu Garden earlier. Someone should be coming to drop some off soon.” She walked towards him as she spoke, “Are you done with your work? Can we head back to the Yu Garden together now?”

Mo Jingshen stared silently at this woman who did not seem to be afraid of death, given that she dared to dress like this in front of him.

“What time is it? It should be quite late,” Ji Nuan spoke to herself while holding up his wrist to look at his Patek Philippe watch. The time was already nearing at 10 p.m.

The watch was nice to look at. It suited his noble disposition perfectly. A man with such a good taste, how on earth did he fall for her?

Ji Nuan was about to let go of his wrist when she felt his hand tighten around hers. He pulled her against the wall, directly pressing her on it with his own body.

“Ji Nuan, what exactly are you planning!” His eyes were dark, and his voice low full of warning.

Ji Nuan stared at him for a long time before speaking up, her voice firm with determination, “After last night, I decided to rethink our relationship seriously…”

Mo Jingshen stared at her coldly. “Suddenly so sensible? What’s the price? Divorce?”

In her past life, the matter of a divorce harmed her so much. Ji Nuan lifted her face to meet his gaze straight on with her bright eyes.

She bit her lips lightly, pulled down his neck with force and leaned forward to kiss those cold lips of his.

Chapter 4: Clearly, Still Angry
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mo Jingshen’s eyes widened in shock. He leaned back to avoid her kiss.

Ji Nuan was also unsure of where her sudden rush of courage came from. She stood up on her tiptoes and tried to kiss him once more. She held onto his shirt tightly, unwilling to let go or even loosen her grip in the slightest.

Mo Jingshen pushed her away with some force, and said with his low and deep voice, “Ji Nuan, you don’t know what you are doing!”

“I do! I’m very clear about it!” Ji Nuan continued pressing close to him without giving up. Her bright eyes stared straight at him. “Mo Jingshen, tonight I will either stay here with you or return home with you! You choose!”

The night obscured many things from sight, but it could not cover the determination in her eyes.

Mo Jingshen stared at her for half a beat.

Ji Nuan returned his gaze without hesitation.

Mo Jing Shen did not reply to her but suddenly threw his suit jacket on her body. This was his direct way of answering.

Seeing his silent reply, Ji Nuan’s eyes burned a little.

He was clearly mad at her, yet he still treated her so well.

She really resented the cold and brutal heart she had in the past.

—-

On the road back to the Yu Garden, Ji Nuan sat in Mo Jingshen’s car. Her snow-white hands were currently playing with the car’s seat belt.

Occasionally, her eyes moved to the side, drawn to the man driving quietly next to her. The lights on the road flashed red past the window. His thin and clear eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Looking back on everything that she had done, based on Mo Jingshen’s family background and everything he had already achieved, he could have left her alone at home and gone out to play with any female idol or famous woman of his choice.

However, he never seemed to give any other woman a second glance.

She suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence in the car, “Mo family’s chauffeur doesn’t seem to show up often. Do you always drive yourself home?”

“Occasionally.”

“You didn’t sleep much yesterday. After working for the whole day, don’t you feel tired?”

Hearing this, Mo Jingshen glanced at her.

His eyes seemed to be saying: That he could not sleep yesterday, was it not all because of her?

Ji Nuan looked away immediately, her ears slightly warm. “What I mean is, you shouldn’t ignore your health for work. Next time when work ends, come straight home to rest…”

Before she could finish her words, a large truck sped towards them from the road ahead. Even when turning, it did not slow down. As though its brakes were not working, It headed straight towards them-

“Watch out!” Ji Nuan called out in a panic.

Mo Jingshen had already turned the car in the other direction, avoiding the truck heading toward them. The screeching sound of the tires rang loudly-

Ji Nuan had been playing with her seat belt earlier causing her not to have protection against the sudden movement. Her body fell forward while her head knocked against the front of the car. It hurt to the point where she could not help but call out in pain.

“Does it hurt?” Mo Jingshen immediately reached his hand over, carefully checking over her reddening forehead.

“Ss… Don’t touch it!” Ji Nuan flinched, pushing his hand away from her forehead.

Mo Jingshen pressed her down to stop her from moving. He rubbed the back of her head, sternly forcing her to turn her whole head around for him to check.

He saw that her wound didn’t seem light. It was already swelling up, causing her eyes to redden with the pain.

He frowned. “Did it hit very badly? Is it very painful? Do you feel dizzy?”

“Pain…” Ji Nuan softly called out.

To be honest, it had only smashed into the front of the car for a moment. There would most likely only be a bump tomorrow. She had not planned on whining too much about it. However, when she caught a hint of worry and heartache in his eyes, she could not help but want him to spoil her.

Mo Jingshen’s concern felt very much like a place of belonging.

A husband who was close to her, whose heart would ache for her, was really so lovely.

“I’m sending you to the hospital.” Mo Jingshen compelled her to sit properly, redoing her seat belt for her.

Hearing the word hospital, she immediately felt fear. She rushed to press her hands against her forehead, saying, “It’s not actually that serious, and it’s already so late. Let’s not trouble the doctor.”

Mo Jingshen did not give her any chance to refuse, warning her with his eyes to not move around.

“I’m really fine…”

She softly suggested the nearby family clinic but was ignored by Mo Jingshen who directly sent her to the hospital.

Mo Jingshen was only willing to send her home after medication was applied on her forehead. The doctor confirmed that the redness would reduce after a few days and that there was not even the slightest bit of concussion.

When they returned home, Auntie Chen glanced at the obvious bump on Ji Nuan’s forehead and rushed forward with worry. Ji Nuan was supported to sit in the couch as though she was frail to the point where even wind could knock her down.

“Miss Ji, what happened? Does it hurt?”

Ji Nuan smiled. “It’s all right, I just bumped onto it for a moment. It’ll be fine after two days.”

“Aiya, why is it so swollen? Did you let a doctor check on it?”

“Already did so earlier.”

Auntie Chen nodded, suddenly noticing her surrounding. It was only then that she realized that Ji Nuan seemed to have returned home with Mr. Mo?

Ji Nuan also looked up at Mo Jingshen, seeing him speak to the helper on the side for a moment before walking in to return her gaze.

“Auntie Chen, in the future you should just call me Mrs. Mo or Madam, both work.” Ji Nuan took the opportunity to declare before Mo Jingshen came back.

Auntie Chen first seemed surprised, before looking as though she was about to celebrate with joy.”Yes, Madam! Mrs. Mo!”

It seemed like Miss Ji had finally thought things through and was willing to live happily with Mr. Mo!

Earlier on, they even returned home together!

Auntie Chen was about to begin preparing supper happily. Ji Nuan glanced at the time and stood up saying, “You should go rest. I’ll prepare supper.”

“Ah? Mrs…?” Auntie Chen looked at her in surprise.

A rich young lady like Ji Nuan, how could she possibly know how to cook?

Previously, she could not even take the slightest bit of smoke or smell of oil.

“Your head has a wound, what supper are you going to make? Return to your room and sleep early!” Mo Jingshen finally walked back.

Ji Nuan did not reply, turning to speak to Auntie Chen and the other helpers, “It’s already late. All of you can go to rest.”

Auntie Chen originally wanted to say more, but seeing how Mr. Mo had returned, she quietened down, nodding her head before leaving the living room.

“You probably haven’t had dinner. It’s already so late; cooking noodles will be easy. Wait for me for a while.” She glanced at Mo Jingshen before turning away as she spoke.

As she walked past him, Mo Jingshen held onto her wrist, eyeing her suspiciously, unsure if she was joking. “You know how to?”

Ji Nuan’s lips quirked up.

Right now, she was actually confident of her cooking skills, but she did not intend to boast. “I can’t promise that it will taste good, but it will definitely be cooked all the way through.”

Mo Jingshen eyed her wound and saw that it did not look very serious. Although he did not intend to let her enter places like the kitchen, seeing how she seemed so excited, he did not want to ruin her rare moment of excitement.

As he let go of her wrist, Ji Nuan could still feel the lingering warmth from his palm.

It was clean and warm, lingering on her skin and giving her a strange sense of security.

Chapter 5: Mrs. Mo, You Are Playing with Fire
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Not long after, Ji Nuan brought out two bowls of piping hot noodle soup. Glancing back, Mo Jingshen appeared to be answering his phone.

When Mo Jingshen ended his phone call, he turned around to see Ji Nuan sitting by the table, her wide eyes staring at him.

This was Ji Nuan’s first time cooking for him in both her past and current life. Although she seemed calm on the outside, her heart could not help but be a little nervous.

The two bowls of noodles on the table were especially fragrant. Mo Jingshen walked over.

All of the helpers had already gone to sleep. Earlier on there was only Ji Nuan in the kitchen. It seemed like she really made these noodles.

Mo Jingshen glanced at it. “When did you learn to cook?”

“From a long time ago. You just didn’t know!” Ji Nuan blinked her eyes. “I promised to let you come home for dinner. Even if it’s just a bowl of noodles, I didn’t lie!”

Mo Jingshen did not ask any more questions. Seeing her eyes full of anticipation, he took the chopsticks she passed over and tasted it.

Even the way this man ate was so naturally graceful. Ji Nuan could barely take her eyes off of him.

In the past, she never looked closely at Mo Jingshen. But right now, the more she looked at him, the more she felt her heart warm up. Her heartbeat also tended to speed up…

If Meng Ran had not created trouble, causing their relationship to sour, perhaps she would have fallen in love with him a long time ago, wouldn’t she?

Ji Nuan stared at him for almost half a day. Mo Jingshen glanced at her. “What are you looking at? Something on my face?”

Ji Nuan sighed. She felt somewhat unhappy about ending this day with this bowl of noodle.

“Why don’t you move your things back to the main room…” Ji Nuan spoke with her face slightly red.

Mo Jingshen finished the noodles, placing down the chopsticks and spoke with a low voice, “I’ll be in the study tonight. I have work to finish. You rest early.”

After speaking, the man stood up, turning around to walk away.

Ji Nuan: “…”

Could it be that he had misunderstood her?

She was not planning on offering her body; using methods of seduction to coax him into agreeing to divorce her!

She wanted to live well with him!

Ji Nuan immediately stood up but saw that Mo Jingshen was on the phone with his secretary. It seemed like the company did have significant work left to be finished.

She could only rub her chin and sit back down, watching Mo Jingshen walk further away.

She had initially thought that today’s first battle was going to be a victory, but she only ended up with a swollen bump on her head…

She should have known that Mo Jingshen could not be dealt with so easily…

—-

Late at night, Ji Nuan could not fall asleep. She got up from the bed and went downstairs to pour herself a cup of milk. She thought to pour one for Mo Jingshen too.

But, she got the impression that Mo Jingshen did not enjoy drinking this sort of thing.

She paused her movements, then turned to go upstairs and walked towards the study room door.

Pressing her ear against the door, she could not hear any sounds.

It was the first night of spring. The hallway was slightly cold.

Time slowly passed. At three in the morning, the door suddenly opened.

“Ji Nuan?” Mo Jingshen walked out only to see Ji Nuan kneeling by the door asleep.

Ji Nuan raised her head in a daze. “You’ve finished working, ah…”

Mo Jingshen’s face was upset as he pulled her up. “Don’t you know what time it is? What are you doing sleeping here?”

Ji Nuan did not make a sound. Mo Jingshen brought her into the study room, allowing her to survey the room he often stayed in whenever he returned to the Yu Garden.

Just like his office, it was clean and neat. There were some documents placed on the desk as well as two computers displaying the company’s data.

Mo Jingshen glanced at her thin sleeping gown and felt her ice-cold hands. Pushing her to sit down on the sofa, he brought a coat over to cover her before standing in front of her, staring at her.

“Ji Nuan, how old are you?”

“…”

“Are you a child? Don’t you know that if you sleep in the hallway in this weather, you will catch a cold?”

“I just wanted to wait for you to finish working so I could chat with you. But before I knew it, I was already asleep…”

“It’s already late. Whatever you want to say, save it for tomorrow.” Mo Jingshen stared at her face that was already pale from the cold.

As she did not rest much last night, there was some bruising beneath her eyes. Right now, there was nothing more important than letting her sleep.

Ji Nuan still wanted to speak but was directly brought out of the room by him. He held her hands in his warm palm. With no opportunity to disagree, he brought her back to the main bedroom. With a bang, the door was closed.

—-

Mo Jingshen returned to his room, closing the computer and the files laid out, before heading to the other main bedroom to shower.

He had just laid down when he heard the room door being opened. Ji Nuan who had just docilely returned to her room ran in. Without hesitation, she pulled open his blanket and climbed on the bed.

Mo Jingshen: “…”

“Ji Nuan.” He sighed. “Regardless if you are moving backward for the sake of moving forward or vice versa, there is no way we will divorce. Quickly go back and sleep, en?”

Ji Nuan buried her face in the blanket by his side, gloomily speaking, “That is great! Mo Jingshen, remember the words that you said today. In the future no matter what, we will not divorce!”

It was as though Mo Jingshen did not hear her words. He pulled her up by her shoulders, wondering if her brain was damaged today.

Ji Nuan was about to speak but was surprised by Mo Jingshen’s hand suddenly pressing against her head.

She let him touch as he pleased, his warm hands avoiding the swollen area on her forehead.

“There’s no fever.” After touching her forehead, he calmly spoke.

“…”

“It doesn’t seem like you ate the wrong medicine either.”

“…”

Ji Nuan did not speak, her two hands tightly holding onto his blanket.

She had a stubborn expression on, looking as though even if she died, she would still refuse to move off his bed. However, her two feet poking out of the blanket revealed her nervousness and embarrassment. Her little toes were curled up, causing her to seem adorable in a way that was difficult to put into words.

Mo Jingshen glanced at her, before quietly covering her up properly with the blanket, preventing her from catching a cold.

Even though it was just a simple action, Ji Nuan’s heart warmed up. She pulled her feet into the blanket, unintentionally rubbing against his thigh.

“Don’t move about as you please,” Mo Jingshen warned with a low voice.

“I didn’t mean to…”

Seeing his eyes darken, she rushed to pull her leg back. But because the action was too rushed, she accidentally moved up and touched an area she should not have touched!

Even through the fabric of his pants, she still felt burned by that area.

Her body stiffened, the air becoming suspiciously quiet.

Ji Nuan consciously licked her lips, feeling her mouth and throat suddenly become especially dry and uncomfortable.

“Mo… Ah—”

Mo Jingshen suddenly flipped over, pressing her beneath him. Ji Nuan’s voice abruptly became stuck in her throat.

“Do you know what is playing with fire?” Mo Jingshen’s low voice landed right next to her ear, concealing an infinite amount of desire.

Chapter 6: If You Still Don’t Go to Sleep, Then Don’t Think About Sleeping Tonight!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“I really didn’t mean to… Uu!” Mo Jingshen kissed her.

This kiss was different from when he had roughly kissed her before. In an instant, she felt as though an electric current had rushed through her body. Her whole body became powerless, becoming lax from head to toe.

Even though she had been married for half a year, and experienced her first time yesterday, Ji Nuan still did not have enough experience. She could not even give a response. She accidentally moved her tongue slightly but was instead kissed even more deeply by the man on top of her. The kiss was deep and heavy, stealing almost all her breath.

Ji Nuan closed her eyes in dizziness but suddenly felt Mo Jingshen’s lips move to her sensitive ears. His low and hoarse voice whispered in her ears, “It’s almost morning. If you don’t go to sleep right now, then don’t even think about sleeping tonight.”

She opened her eyes, immediately becoming lost in his deep dark eyes.

“Mrs. Mo, if yesterday was painful to the point of death, are you sure you can handle it tonight?”

Ji Nuan initially thought that they would only lie down to have a good chat. She did consider the possibility that something could happen. However, after thinking about how he did not let her off yesterday even when she cried to the point where her voice became hoarse, her body instantly shrank backward.

But she had also noticed that he had addressed her as Mrs. Mo…

So, everything she had fought for today was not completely useless.

Since she was still Mrs. Mo and planned to remain so for the rest of her life, how could she possibly avoid such a thing?

“Will the second time hurt as much?” she asked, her tone somewhat ambiguous.

He clearly did not expect that she would return such a question. He stared at her for what felt like half a day, his eyes looking as though they could eat her up alive.

For an instant, his eyes lingered on the love bites that had yet to fade from her neck…

Mo Jingshen clearly remembered how much he bullied her yesterday because of the aphrodisiac and his anger.

In less than a day, if he were to do it again, she probably would not even be able to move off from the bed.

Mo Jingshen sighed, speaking hoarsely, “Don’t test a man’s patience. I’ll let you off tonight. If you still dare to stick into my embrace tomorrow, you can experience the consequences yourself.”

Ji Nuan shrank in his arms quietly.

“Sleep.” Mo Jingshen rubbed her head gently.

Just as he was about to move up from the bed, she rushed to wrap her arms around his neck.

“I’ll sleep here where you are!”

Mo Jingshen’s eyes darkened, staring at the young lady whose face held both determination and slight bashfulness.

He stared at her to the point where she could not take it. She rushed to remove her hands from his neck, grabbing the blanket to cover her face and hiding from his line of sight.

He chuckled. “If you’re embarrassed then go back to your room.”

“Don’t want to! I’ll sleep here where you are!” Ji Nuan said rather unhappily from inside the blanket.

Finally, unable to ignore her personality change, Mo Jingshen laid back down. His eyes were fixed on the Ji Nuan who was still hiding inside the blanket.

The room became silent all of a sudden.

Ji Nuan carefully lowered the blanket.

The moment she lifted her eyes, she saw Mo Jingshen lying on his side, his clear eyes staring at her.

Ji Nuan blushed under his stare, asking softly, “You’re not sleeping?”

“You’re lying here. How can I go to sleep?”

Ji Nuan consciously glanced at the bed beneath them. “The bed isn’t small. It’s the same as the one in the main bedroom. I won’t take up your space even if I sleep here! Why can’t you sleep?”

Hearing her words, Mo Jingshen smiled.

“What are you smiling at?” Ji Nuan thought that he was still suspicious of her sincerity and directly moved closer to him under the blanket, communicating that she did not plan to separate from him anymore.

“Ji Nuan,” He suddenly called her name. His voice was low and hoarse.

“En?”

“You should have been this aware from the start.”

Ji Nuan consciously leaned closer to him, deciding not to listen to his words anymore. She feared that if she listened to him any longer, she would be teased to the point where she could not sleep.

Due to her action, Mo Jingshen suddenly grabbed onto her chin, giving her a deep kiss. He only let go when she began to struggle to breathe.

If they kissed any longer, both of them would not get any rest tonight.

Ji Nuan was kissed to the point where her ears were bright red. She shifted inside the bed uncomfortably when Mo Jingshen suddenly got off the bed.

She rushed to sit up with the blanket in her arms. “Where are you going?”

Mo Jingshen went into the bathroom without glancing back, only throwing one word at her, “Shower!”

Ji Nuan was confused for a moment.

“Didn’t he just shower? Why shower again?”

It was only after the sound of water went on for a long time in the bathroom that she understood.

With a bright red face, she laughed. Laying back, she hugged the blanket, inhaling the cooling and clean scent that belonged to Mo Jingshen.

—-

In the early morning at six, the mist began to fade as the morning light arrived.

Ji Nuan jerked awake from a nightmare about her previous life, sitting up on the bed in a rush.

The space next to her on the bed was already empty. The silence in the room caused her heart to feel empty. She rushed to push the blanket aside, but because her actions were too fast, she staggered and had to grab hold of the bookshelf next to her.

The sound of the door being opened came from the front. The moment Ji Nuan lifted her head she saw Mo Jingshen standing there already well-dressed.

It seemed like he had not been awake for long, having just showered. He wore a shirt and long pants, looking clean and neat.

“Feeling unwell?” Mo Jingshen saw that Ji Nuan’s skin was pale to the point of almost transparency and walked toward her.

Ji Nuan only stared at him, watching him. When he came nearer, even as he placed his hand on her forehead in concern, she still stared at his actions.

So, everything that happened yesterday was not a dream.

Mo Jingshen retracted his hand because of her gaze. In the past, she would always refuse his touch. Perhaps she was behaving so oddly yesterday because of a nightmare?

Had she finally woken up? Was she going to start pushing for divorce again?

“Dizzy?” He did not move to touch her again. “Maybe the wound yesterday caused some side effects. Take a CT scan today. I’ll have Auntie Chen come to help you change clothes.”

Finishing his words, Mo Jingshen turned around to walk away with indifferent eyes.

“Mo Jingshen!” Ji Nuan suddenly called him without thinking.

He had just turned around when Ji Nuan suddenly flew into his arms.

Startled, Mo Jingshen unconsciously wrapped his arms around her. Yet, the little woman in his arms continued pressing herself into his arms with force, her arms gripping around his waist tightly.

He froze for two seconds because of her sudden embrace, before looking down at her small head. Placing a hand on it, he gently patted her. “If you’re not feeling well, we’ll go to the hospital, en?”

Ji Nuan did not speak. She continued hugging him tightly, breathing in the smell of the soap on his body.

“Had a nightmare?” he asked.

“En.” Ji Nuan continued her tight grip, unwilling to let go. She spoke with a hoarse voice, “I dreamed that you didn’t want me anymore. Once you left, you left for ten years. After that, you even married another woman.”

She had just woken up, so her voice was both soft and filled with dependence. It was a rare event for her to act spoiled.

Mo Jingshen rubbed her head, speaking in a low voice, “Don’t think about ridiculous things. I will never marry someone aside from you.”

Ji Nuan pressed her face into his embrace and did not argue.

Regardless of how her previous life went, in this life, she did not want to lose him again!

“Is your head still hurting?”

“It’s not hurting. Earlier on when I woke up, I stood up too quickly and stumbled. It’s all right.”

“Auntie Chen has already made breakfast. Go wash up and eat.”

“Okay.”

Chapter 7: You Like Looking at Me So Much?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Nuan calmed down her emotions, only to realize that she had not even washed her face before facing him after getting up from the bed.

She grabbed her hair in shock and made for the bathroom while covering her face.

Mo Jingshen eyed the way she seemed awkward and embarrassed, his elegant brows furrowing. “This isn’t our first day of marriage. It’s not like is the first time I’m seeing your face in the morning either. Why are you hiding?”

This had nothing to do with how long they have been married!

Especially since Ji Nuan was never conscious of the fact that she was married previously!

She did not explain, running into the bathroom mirror to check if her eyes were sore. When she looked down, she found that his bathroom did not have the products she used for washing up.

Who knew if after last night Mo Jingshen would directly move his things back to the main bedroom.

Seeing how Mo Jingshen had already left the room, she took the opportunity to run back to the main bedroom and moved the things she frequently used to his bedroom.

This way, regardless of which room he chose to stay in, she would occupy both! There was nowhere he could escape!

Ji Nuan changed her clothes and went downstairs for breakfast.

On the table was the custard toast she always loved to eat.

She had just sat down when Mo Jingshen placed a cup of warm milk Auntie Chen had brought over in front of her.

She sat by the table, took the cup of milk, bit on the toast, and took a glance at Mo Jingshen. She then took another bite of the toast and glanced up at Mo Jingshen once more.

As she ate her breakfast, her eyes rarely left Mo Jingshen.

Auntie Chen who was cleaning at the side saw this and could not help but smile, quietly tugging the helper at the side to return to the kitchen.

Ji Nuan took another bite of the toast, not even realizing that a bit of custard was left on the side of her mouth. Her eyes were fixed on the man who had already finished his breakfast and was currently reading a business magazine.

He had a pair of stern and clear brows and eyes, a straight nose bridge and a handsome silhouette that seemed to be crafted by God himself. He was perfect to the point where no one could find anything to fuss about.

Mo Jingshen paused his actions of flipping the magazine, calmly turning to look at the little woman whose eyes seemed to be stuck on him. Her gaze seemed as though he would vanish at any instant.

Ji Nuan returned to her spirits and rushed to bring the toast in her hand up to cover her eyes. Picking up her glass of milk, she chugged a large mouthful.

Due to being too rushed, she choked and had to quickly put down her cup and toast, violently coughing twice: “Cough… cough cough…”

Mo Jingshen brought some napkins in front of her. Seeing how she was still coughing loudly, he directly helped her wipe the custard off her lips: “You’ve been acting strange since yesterday. Do you like to stare at me so much?”

“Cough, cough, cough…”

She actually did not choke so seriously but hearing his words she immediately coughed loudly several times on purpose.

Auntie Chen rushed out from the kitchen. “Madam, what’s wrong? You’re coughing so badly…”

“Cough, cough, nothing. I just choked on the milk.”

“So long as you’re all right. Oh yes, yesterday Miss Meng Ran said that she wants to come and stay at the Yu Garden tonight. This evening, shall I prepare dinner for her as well?”

Ji Nuan’s expression did not change. After coughing twice more, she turned to say, “Auntie Chen, clean up the guest bedroom my sister always uses. From now onward don’t let her stay at the Yu Garden as much as possible.”

“But Miss Mengran will be coming today…”

“I’ll speak to her about it. After all, the Yu Garden is not the Ji family home. It’s not right for her to come in and out of here all the time.”

Hearing this, Auntie Chen’s heart became much more comfortable.

In the past, she always felt that that second lady who kept coming to the Yu Garden, loved to ask all sorts of questions about Mr. Mo, and even treated her like a family member, was really difficult to get used to.

Auntie Chen did not wait for even a second and rushed to clean up the guest room.

All of a sudden, Mo Jingshen’s phone—which was placed on the dining table—vibrated.

Ji Nuan initially thought it would only be a spam message. Seeing how his eyes remained fixed on a particular English article in the business magazine, mindless of his phone, her gaze flew towards his phone screen. Seeing the number on the screen her eyes flashed, and she reached over to take his phone.

136xxxx: [Brother Jingshen, please don’t be mad at my sister. I didn’t expect that she would use such methods and drug you. She originally wanted to send you to another woman’s bed. I persuaded her for a really long time, but she wouldn’t listen. With the way you guys are interacting, will there be a happy ending? My heart aches for my sister, and I also feel that it is not worth it for you, Brother Jingshen!]

After reading the message, Ji Nuan’s beautiful brows furrowed.

“Your phone number, do many people know it?” Ji Nuan looked up.

Mo Jingshen glanced at her, placing the magazine in his hands to the side.

“Many people? Whom does that refer to?”

Ji Nuan remembered that Mo Jingshen’s private number was not known to many people and was not easily accessible to others.

“I just did not expect Meng Ran to be so concerned about our relationship and to message you because of my actions.” Ji Nuan smiled while intentionally allowing some jealousy to be revealed in her eyes.

Mo Jingshen eyed her restrained expression and asked, “Weren’t you the one who gave her my number?”

“…”

It seems like that did indeed happen.

Meng Ran often took her phone to play. She had not paid much attention to when exactly she had memorized Mo Jingshen’s private number.

“She sends them, but that doesn’t mean I will read them,” Mo Jingshen calmly said.

Hearing this, Ji Nuan scrolled down, discovering many unread messages.

Aside from a few emails and messages from the company, there really were several unread messages from Meng Ran.

After randomly reading a few, she discovered that they were mostly made to sound as though she was a kind younger sister speaking up for her older sister, but in fact, they made Ji Nuan sound as though she was often unreasonable and had a weird personality.

She was indeed full of schemes!

At the moment when she became silent, Mo Jingshen suddenly spoke calmly, “Being young doesn’t equate to being innocent. Family relations should not be trusted without question. That you can see things clearly early on is not a bad thing.”

Ji Nuan suspiciously eyed the man in front of her who seemed to have already known everything from the start.

No wonder Mo Jingshen rarely returned home when Meng Ran was around. It seems like he had already seen through Meng Ran’s thoughts.

She really wanted to beat up herself from ten years ago! Why was her heart so big!

Ji Nuan violently slapped her forehead and ended up hitting the wounded spot from last night. She hissed in surprise while her whole face scrunched up in pain.

Mo Jingshen sat up and walked over, pushing her hand aside. Seeing her sore forehead, he frowned. “Does it not hurt enough? Do you have to make the wound worse?”

Ji Nuan raised her head. It hurt to the point where tears were coming out. Glancing at his stern expression, she could not hold in her ashamed expression. “I won’t let anyone come in as they please anymore. In the past, did I cause a lot of trouble for you?”

“Everything concerning you is not any trouble. For this sort of thing, the decision lies in your hands.” Mo Jingshen held her head, checking her wound before calling for a helper to come over. “Bring the medicine from last night here and apply it on her again.”

Chapter 8: One Kiss Was Sufficient to Make Him Want to Press Her Down
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Everything concerning her was not considered trouble…

Ji Nuan’s heart rippled, and she threw herself into his embrace.

It was early in the morning, and she had already done so twice. By now, Mo Jingshen was somewhat used to her sudden outburst of sweet passion. He lowered his eyes to look at her little head that was buried in his embrace, gently holding it. “Once you’ve eaten, return to the room to rest. It’s already the beginning of autumn. Don’t catch a cold.”

“Going to rest right after eating, are you raising me like a pig?” Ji Nuan rubbed her face against his embrace.

Suddenly noticing that the helpers around them all seemed shy and awkward, she quickly stepped back from his embrace but noticed that Mo Jingshen’s gaze on her held a faint smile that was difficult to understand.

“Didn’t you always do that in the past?”

“That was…”

In the past, Ji Nuan never liked having breakfast with him. She always rushed to finish and would then find a random excuse to return to her room to rest. She was always unwilling to spend even a minute longer around him.

“Cough, that’s because I previously couldn’t sleep very well, so I had to regain some sleep in the day.” Ji Nuan explained, rubbing her face. “You see! Good rest will lead to beautiful skin!”

Mo Jingshen chuckled at her awkward explanation and refrained from attacking her obvious forced logic.

Seeing that he did not believe her, she grabbed his hand and pressed it on her face. “If you don’t believe me, touch it! Isn’t it soft and smooth?”

Mo Jingshen gently rubbed his thumb across Ji Nuan’s face. Ji Nuan held onto his hands but was unable to control his movements. He pinched her chin. Her face immediately burned red watching the man who was moving closer to her.

“Indeed, it is soft and smooth,” he whispered in a slightly hoarse voice.

These three words were initially used to describe her face, but hearing it come from his mouth somehow made her think that there was something else. It caused her face to turn red and her heartbeat to speed up.

“Mrs. Mo is seducing me so directly. Do you not wish for me to go to the company?” Mo Jingshen muttered right next to her lips. There was only the space of a finger preventing them from kissing.

Ji Nuan’s heart skipped a beat.

How could he tease her like this…

Mo Jingshen, how could he tease her like this!

In her past life, water must have entered her brain for her to push him a thousand miles away! Who said that a cold businessman would be extremely traditional and dull in a relationship!

He was obviously teasing her to the point of death!

Ji Nuan closed her eyes, yet after waiting for almost half a day, the kiss she expected did not happen.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Mo Jingshen’s gaze fixed on her.

He was always cold and quiet, keeping a distance from others and was very astute at noticing people’s changes. Ji Nuan’s character suddenly changed so much, although he did not ask, that did not mean that he did not notice these changes.

Ji Nuan paused in surprise. She felt that perhaps she had been too hasty and instinctually took a step back.

Just as she was about to move away from him, his arm wound around her waist and pulled her back.

Her lips were instantly sealed by his.

Earlier on, the helpers had already cleared the table. There was no one around them, and it was quiet to the point where they could hear each other’s breathing. Ji Nuan raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck tightly; her teary eyes filled with passion.

He closed his eyes.

There was no way to look, if he looked any longer, today’s meeting would have to be pushed back to tomorrow.

The fresh scent on this little woman’s body seduced him. Even if it was just a kiss, it was sufficient to make him want to press her down.

—-

Auntie Chen brought the blankets out from the guest bedroom. The moment she walked out she saw Ji Nuan sitting on the couch with a bright-red face, appearing as though her soul had been stolen.

The Yu Garden’s doorbell rang. Mo Jingshen, who had just received the company’s phone call and was about to leave, directly went to open the door.

The door opened and there stood Ji Mengran.

Ji Mengran wore a light-colored dress. Her face had some light makeup that accentuated her youth. The moment she saw that it was Mo Jingshen who had opened the door, her eyes lit up.

“Brother Jing Shen! Normally at this time, you would already be at the office! Why haven’t you left today?” Ji Mengran’s face was filled with joy.

Previously, Ji Mengran wanted to use the excuse of comforting Mo Jingshen to go look for him, but he was always at the office. The Mo office was so strictly managed that there was no way she could enter. The previous night she had only managed to catch a glimpse of him at the Yu Garden before he had pulled Ji Nuan to his room. It was a long time since she had stood so close to him.

That he had come to open the door was an amazing surprise for her!

Mo Jingshen’s body was tall and fit. He stood at the door with no intention of letting her in.

Meng Ran glanced inside. From this angle, she could not see Ji Nuan, so she spoke softly, “Is my sister still sleeping? Ai, locking herself in the room for the whole day without seeing anyone, it’s no wonder that her character is becoming weirder and weirder. I’ll find time to persuade her.”

She dared to speak this way because she already had her plans.

Since Ji Nuan and Mo Jingshen had a barrier between them, regardless of why he returned to the Yu Garden yesterday, last night must not have been too peaceful here. Ji Nuan must have quarreled with him again.

“Came here so early?” Mo Jingshen’s voice was calm and it held no warmth whatsoever.

Meng Ran was already used to his coldness and felt that last night there must have been some unhappiness between them.

She gave an understanding smile. “I’m worried that since my sister isn’t feeling too happy these few days, she might cause some unreasonable trouble again. So, I thought to come early and accompany her.”

“What unreasonable things have I done?” Ji Nuan’s voice suddenly came from inside the room.

Ji Mengran’s expression instantly froze.

Ji Nuan walked over to Mo Jingshen’s side, her hand naturally holding onto his elbow, smiling.

“Aside from having some bad temper, what other ridiculous things have I done? You remember it so well that you have to keep bringing it up?”

Ji Mengran stared at Ji Nuan with shock. She then glanced her hand around Mo Jingshen’s arm.

After the incident the night before, Mo Jingshen should have been thoroughly disappointed with Ji Nuan. How could this…

“You and Brother Jing Shen…” Ji Mengran spoke hesitantly.

Ji Nuan cut her off. “Meng Ran, I’ve already been married for so long, why haven’t you changed the way you address him? He is your brother-in-law; you can’t call him Brother Jing Shen.”

Ji Mengran’s expression fell at sight of the scene in front of her. Breathing in, she suddenly asked, “Brother Jing Shen, did you do something to my sister? Previously she kept hiding from you. The moment you touched her, she would shower eight to ten times. Why is she suddenly so close to you…?”

Ji Nuan leaned against Mo Jingshen, looking amused. “Wouldn’t that cause my skin to peel? My sister is young and doesn’t speak seriously. It’s so exaggerated that it makes people want to laugh.”

Mo Jingshen glanced at her. “No wonder it’s so soft and smooth. So you showered up to eight or ten times a day.”

His hand moved to Ji Nuan’s waist, quietly whispering by her ear such that only she could hear his words.

Chapter 9: A Man Like This, Would You Not Like?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Nuan had never expected that someone like Mo Jingshen who seemed so cold on the outside would have the potential to tease. She could not help but eye him suspiciously.

Seeing the unclear, yet unobstructed interaction of the two in front of her, Ji Mengran’s voice became somewhat sharp. “Big sister, what are you guys doing? Why are you flirting with your eyes? I’m still standing here!”

“What else can we do? We’re not being particularly touchy. Just an exchange of glances requires your permission as well?” Ji Nuan leaned her head against Mo Jingshen’s shoulders, looking up with a smile at his handsome face under the sunlight. “Hubby, it’s already past eight, if you still don’t head for work, won’t it affect your meeting in the afternoon?”

Ji Mengran’s eyes almost fell out.

Hubby?

She actually called him Hubby?

Ji Nuan has always tried her best to make sure no one knew that she was married. Nobody was allowed to call her Mrs. Mo, and she hated being associated with Mo Jingshen. She had never once acknowledged this marriage.

But now she actually called him Hubby?

This… What did this mean?

Ji Mengran was baffled. After being stunned for half a day, she became more alert.

If things go on this way, how would she have an opportunity to snatch him away?

Mo Jingshen glanced at the time. The company indeed had an important meeting today, but the sound of the little woman’s “Hubby” next to him could not help but make him have thoughts of, “the king shall not attend morning court.”

He smiled—his eyes holding warmth that only belonged to Ji Nuan. He gently patted her head. “You guys talk. I’ll head to work.”

This action almost caused Ji Mengran to explode. It was only after holding it in for half a day that she could maintain the smile on her face. “Brother Jing Shen, I’ve just arrived and you’re rushing to leave?”

“Your brother-in-law has things to do at the office. You can’t possibly expect him to push aside his meeting to stay here and play with you?” Ji Nuan eyed her profoundly.

“That’s not what I mean, I…” Ji Mengran was rarely ever left with nothing to say by Ji Nuan.

In the past, no matter what she said, Ji Nuan would always give in to her. She never argued back. But why was it that she felt like she was completely controlled by her today?

Mo Jingshen casually neatened his cuffs, taking over a suit jacket from the helper next to him. His eyes did not even once meet Ji Mengran’s.

“You’re wearing so little. Don’t stand at the door for too long, en?” Mo Jingshen gently spoke next to Ji Nuan and left under her smiling gaze into the bright sunny day outside.

Seeing him leave the door, Ji Mengran unconsciously turned, wanting to follow.

She suspected that Ji Nuan must have said something to him these few days. In the past, although Mo Jingshen did not pay much attention to her, for the sake of his and Ji Nuan’s relationship, he would still say a few words to her. However, today she felt very uncertain.

She had yet to follow when Ji Nuan grasped her wrist.

“Meng Ran, I have words to speak to you.” Ji Nuan seemed as though she did not notice her expression of wanting to chase.

Ji Mengran was suddenly pulled and felt a little angry. When she turned back, she saw that Ji Nuan’s gaze was unusually calm and cold.

She instantly calmed down. “I saw that Brother Jing Shen’s mood today seemed rather good. Why don’t you take this opportunity to make things clear with him? If you have the good attitude that you have right now and you logically explain to him that you do not wish to be with him, perhaps your divorce will be successful.”

“Whether or not we will have a divorce, you seem to be in more of a rush about this issue than me.” Ji Nuan stared at her.

Ji Mengran’s expression changed in an instant. “What do your words mean? From the start, weren’t you the one who always wanted a divorce? In the first place, when you married Brother Jing Shen, it was because father insisted on you building a marriage alliance with the Mo family. You never once agreed! If you haven’t always loved to argue with father, he wouldn’t have been so mad as to force you out of the family with a marriage! I was worried that you wouldn’t take it well, so I always came to chat with you to help. I saw you suffer so much! That’s is why I tried hard to think of ideas for you so that you may leave this marriage earlier and obtain your freedom! Do you mean to say that I am wrong to do so?”

If not for her rebirth, Ji Nuan would have believed these words.

After her previous life, she finally knew how thick of a mask Ji Mengran could put on.

“Of course, you’re not wrong. Right now, the relationship between Mo Jingshen and I is harmonious. If we can properly be together, that would be even better than a divorce.” Ji Nuan’s voice was calm, yet her attitude was firm and did not allow anyone to question her stance.

Ji Mengran was silent for a few seconds before she asked in a strange tone, “You’re not divorcing?”

Ji Nuan’s brows curved. “Regardless of family background or capabilities, his looks or his character, Mo Jingshen is good in every area. The number of women who like him is not little. Why should I push such a good man aside and let other women get him?”

“Aren’t you overthinking…” Ji Mengran’s voice was a little timid.

“Ah, if Mo Jingshen wasn’t your brother-in-law, a man like this, would you not like?” Ji Nuan stared at her.

“Big sister! What are you talking about!” Ji Mengran’s heart instantly became a mess, uncertainty apparent in her eyes.

“I’m just joking. Why are you so flustered?”

“I’m not flustered. I’m just very shocked… Actually, this is good as well.” Ji Mengran’s tone was shaky, her smile forced. No matter how one looked, it was clear that she was upset. “This way Dad won’t have to keep getting angry over you insisting on a divorce. I also won’t have to worry that you may do silly things.”

“You don’t have to worry. You also don’t need to make so much effort to keep coming to visit me,” Ji Nuan said as she looked inside the house, tossing her words back. “I’ve already asked the helpers to clean up the guest room. Your things will also be packed up. Tomorrow I’ll send someone to bring it to you.”

Ji Mengran’s mouth opened, her eyes wide in shock, but she could not say a single word.

Was she chasing her away?

Chapter 10: Did You Act Dead in Front of Mo Jingshen Again?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Walking out of the Yu Garden, Ji Mengran’s heart still held some suspicion.

Could it be that the previous day when she took advantage of Mo Jingshen being drugged and wore thinner clothes, Ji Nuan became suspicious?

Why else would her attitude change so much?

She glanced around, thinking about how Mo Jingshen should not have gotten far. She raised her phone to give him a call.

Since she did not drive a car here, and the Ji family home was along the way the Mo Corporation, Mo Jingshen should not refuse if she asked him to drive her home.

If there was an opportunity to sit in his car, she needed to have a good talk with him about Ji Nuan.

The phone rang for a long time. Ji Mengran did not give up and continued calling. All of a sudden, she could hear the sound of a phone ringing behind her.

She turned around in astonishment only to see Ji Nuan walking out with Mo Jingshen’s black cellphone in hand.

His phone was actually in Ji Nuan’s hands!

In an instant, Ji Mengran’s expression was amusing to no end.

While she stood there stiffly, Ji Nuan said carelessly, “Your brother-in-law was probably too rushed when he headed for the company. He didn’t even bring his handphone. It’s a good thing that he has more than one pair, or else, I would have to contact his assistant to come and collect it.”

Seeing a hint of indiscernible cold laughter in Ji Nuan’s eyes, Ji Mengran felt an unexplainable shiver down her back.

“Was it your call earlier?”

“N-no it wasn’t.” Ji Mengran stood outside the Yu Garden’s entrance, answering in a bewildered manner.

“No?” Ji Nuan glanced at the displayed missed call. “Although this number isn’t saved, I’m very familiar with this number. Did you call by accident earlier?”

So, Mo Jingshen did not even save her number into his contact list?

Ji Mengran’s heart cooled, her face somewhat paled. “I might have accidentally called the wrong number earlier.”

Saying this, Ji Mengran did not stay a second longer. She rushed out without explaining further for fear that she would say something wrong.

——

Ji Nuan had planned to let Auntie Chen bring out all the wedding photos she had kept when a call from the hospital suddenly came.

She drove hurriedly to the Hai Cheng Central Hospital, rushing to a single orthopedics ward. The moment the door opened, a doctor wearing a white robe walked out.

The doctor wore a mask, revealing only his eyebrows and eyes, yet this did not prevent Ji Nuan from recognizing him.

She did not say a single word. The doctor’s cold gaze landed on her before sweeping away carelessly.

“Nuan Nuan! Did you come? Oh~ I’m going to die of pain~” Inside, a young girl cried piteously.

This was Ji Nuan’s most important best friend, Xia Tian!

Xia Tian saw her expression when she walked in and could not help rolling her eyes. “What expression is that? I was in a car accident, but it’s only a small fracture. It’s not as though I died.”

Seeing Ji Nuan’s mysterious expression, Xia Tian pursed her lips saying, “Where is the Kentucky Fried Chicken? I told you to bring some on the phone. I haven’t had anything all day. I’m hungry and in pain! The doctor said that starting today I have to drink pork bone soup with less salt and less oil every day! Isn’t the same as asking for my life? I’m the sort who absolutely hates this sort of food. How can he make me drink it every day!”

She lowered her head once more to see Ji Nuan’s empty hands. “God! It can’t be! You really came empty-handed…”

Of course, she came empty-handed. Earlier on, when she received the call, she almost dropped her phone!

Someone who had once died covered in blood before her eyes, suddenly calling with a wronged voice that she had been involved in a car accident, wanting her to buy a family bucket and deliver it to the hospital…

At that moment, how could Ji Nuan remember anything about the-what-Kentucky-what entire family bucket!

When she drove, she went over the speed limit. It was as though she had flown here.

Xia Tian was still alive! Right now, at this moment, she had yet to get together with the bastard who ruin her entire life.

“Your leg is already injured to this point. Stop eating junk food.” Ji Nuan restored her calm, pulling the chair over to sit by her bed. “There is a signature pork bone soup restaurant nearby. The taste is very good. I’ll go buy some for you later.”

Xia Tian lips pursed. “Pei! Without Kentucky Fried Chicken what use do I have for you!”

Ji Nuan did not argue with her. She only sat by her side staring at her.

Xia Tian rarely ever saw Ji Nuan so quiet and obedient. “I say, have you been acting dead in front of Mo Jingshen again? I told you from the start not to get too close to your sister! She doesn’t have good intentions! Mo Jingshen already treats you so well; how long do you plan on being cold to him?”

Hearing the words that she hadn’t heard in a long time, Ji Nuan’s nose felt slightly sour. She smiled.

“I know. I know when to stop.” She didn’t explain her rebirth, but she hoped not to see her friend follow the track of an overturned cart. “Xia Tian, after being discharged you must not come into any contact with that man who hurt you! No matter what sort of compensation he tries to offer you, you are not allowed to see him! You have to remember that!”

This car accident happened in her past life as well. It was during this accident that Xia Tian came to know the man who ruined her entire life.

“Where do you know when to stop? You know my ass!” Xia Tian did not even listen to the second half of Ji Nuan’s words. “Where is Mo Jingshen not good enough? How many women dream of climbing on his bed? Only you, Ji Nuan, are so stubborn!”

“All right, all right, all right. I’m stubborn. Everything that happened in the past was my fault!”

“You see, you see! Every time I bring up Mo Jingshen you become impatient…” Xia Tian harrumphed. “My good intentions are treated like trash by you! I’m going to die from anger!”

Ji Nuan did not speak. She only tugged on her hands placed on the blanket with force, holding onto her hands tightly.

Xia Tian had a face of revulsion. “Why are you holding on so tightly! Could it be that your sister has thoroughly brainwashed you that you are no longer interested in men? You’re interested in women now? Bleep, I don’t want that! You, quickly let go of my hands…”

Ji Nuan did not just want to hold her hands; she wanted to hug her properly! Hug her with force!

“Next month is your father’s birthday. Do you want to take the opportunity to return to the Xia family in City S? To rebuild your relationship with your family?” Ji Nuan suddenly spoke.

She had to think of a method to make Xia Tian stay away during the period she became close to that bastard in Hai Cheng. Even if it meant pushing her back to that family she hated to most.

She definitely did not want to see her become pregnant, go through miscarriage and then finally die at the hands of that bastard!

“I’m not going back!” Xia Tian did not want to bring up her household, quickly putting on a wronged expression. “Nuan Nuan, I don’t need a full family bucket. Just two chicken wings, will that do?”

“No.” Ji Nuan knew that she was hungry and stood up. “You be good and lay down there. I’ll go buy pork bone soup for you.”

“Can’t I just have one chicken wing?”

“No.”

“Just one?”

“No!”

The door opened and closed. Ji Nuan did not turn to look back.

Xia Tian sighed in pain. “What sort of friendship is this? Her heart doesn’t ache for me at all…”

All of a sudden, the wardroom door opened once more. Ji Nuan’s voice called from outside, “Original flavor, the non-spicy kind, are you eating it?”

“Eat, eat, eat! I’ll eat it!” Xia Tian’s aggrieved expression immediately changed. Her lips curled up into a smile while she nodded her head hard like an adorable dog.

Chapter 11: Mrs. Mo only in Name? Oh?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The sky gradually became dark.

Ji Nuan held the new thermos bottle she had bought as she returned to the hospital. It contained the fragrant pork bone soup she had bought.

In the early evening, the streetlights shimmered, and a limited-edition black Rolls-Royce Ghost drove by.

Shen Mu’s gaze moved out of the window for a second when he suddenly said in surprise, “CEO Mo, isn’t that Miss Ji?”

Mo Jingshen’s turned his eyes away from the documents in his hands. His dark eyes looked towards the direction Shen Mu was pointing at.

—-

When Ji Nuan finally exited the hospital, it was already eight p.m.

She was just about to walk toward the car parked across when she saw a luxury brand shop from the corner of her eye.

From the window, one of the gray dress shirts seemed especially nice. It appeared to be part of a line of male clothing from a high-end French brand. Even if it was kept for ten years, it would definitely not go out of style. The color also gave an extremely subdued yet stable feeling.

If worn by Mo Jingshen, it would definitely suit him very well.

Besides, it seemed that she had never bought anything for Mo Jingshen. Not mentioning a shirt, even when they got married, the ring was chosen by the elder in the Mo family. She did not even take a second glance at it.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had treated him poorly for too long. Ji Nuan directly walked into that shop.

When she walked in, the store employee scanned the way she dressed. The employee’s eyes lit up and immediately came up to welcome her.

“Welcome Miss, are you choosing shirts or suits? Are you buying it for your boyfriend?” The store employee’s face was filled with enthusiasm.

“Shirt,” Ji Nuan replied as she headed for the shirt she had seen from outside.

The employee followed behind. “You sure have good taste! This is the new line brought in just yesterday from Paris. This line of shirts is made with 300s fabric; a high quality and density material. It’s soft and comfortable. It’s the highest quality of shirt fabrics. In addition…”

From inside the changing room, a man and woman suddenly walked out.

“Oh? Isn’t this Miss Ji?”

Hearing that voice, Ji Nuan turned around. The man accompanying the woman also turned back to glance at her.

Seeing the two of them, Ji Nuan calmly moved her gaze away, and told the store employee, “I’ll have this shirt. Pick the size for a man six feet, two inches tall. Please help me double check the size; don’t pick the wrong one.”

“Sure, sure!” The employee went off happily to open a bill. Ji Nuan’s gaze moved to look elsewhere, hoping to find a compatible tie for the shirt.

The lady who was thoroughly ignored rolled her eyes. “She sure knows how to act. Pretending to be a proper lady outside when she is an illegitimate daughter—an illegitimate daughter stealing the position in someone else’s home!”

As she spoke, the lady turned back to glance at the man behind her who was frowning coldly. “Isn’t that right, Tian Yuan? Back then, the Ji family almost formed an alliance marriage with your family. Luckily, Uncle Han’s eyes were clear and prevented you from bringing the illegitimate daughter in. If not for him, this Ji family’s big daughter would be your wife now.”

Han Tianyuan was a famous rich man’s son who did not like to settle down. In the past, he had also coveted Ji Nuan’s looks and figure.

However, Ji Nuan never once gave him face. She was proud and stubborn and often made him lose face.

As a result, the like this man had for Ji Nuan eventually turned into dislike. Ever since she had gotten married, he had come to enjoy listening to the negative rumors surrounding her as a hobby.

The woman continued chattering away without giving up. “That’s not all, the Mo family have been businessmen and government officials for many generations. Regardless of influence or fame, they are the best in the country. How could they be blind to the point of marrying in an illegitimate daughter.”

Han Tianyuan rarely had the opportunity to mock Ji Nuan. He sneered. “Well said. If not for Mo Elder’s insistence, and the fact that the Ji family wanted to hold onto the Mo family’s big thigh, a low-quality product like her would not even be able to enter the Mo family’s door.”

“I heard that this Ji Nuan has never shown up anywhere with Mo Jingshen even after being married for so long. Most likely she has already been pushed aside. She’s Mrs. Mo only in name? Oh?” The woman looked over on purpose while smiling.

“Miss.” The employee was worried that Ji Nuan would be affected and leave, and the bill that was in her hands would be lost. “The shirt has already been wrapped up. Would you like to pay with cash or card?”

Ji Nuan did not glance back at the two from start to finish. She had not even spoken a single line when the lady suddenly leaned close. “Miss Ji sure is extravagant. This one shirt alone costs 16 thousand yuan. Will you be able to afford it?”

Ji Nuan glanced at her, speaking calmly, “So even a person with learning difficulties is not completely stupid. Even the number of zeros in the price tag can be counted so clearly.”

She had some impression of this woman. Her name was Zhou Yanyan. Her family background was not bad, but her personality was even more arrogant than Ji Nuan in the past. Who knew where she had heard those secret rumors of the Ji family. She often spread around the issue of Ji Nuan being an illegitimate daughter.

Of course, Ji Nuan was not an illegitimate daughter. However, the Ji family indeed did not just have Ji Mengran and her, these two daughters. It was all the mistake her father made when he was young. Since a long time ago, the Ji family had been keeping silent on this issue like a sealed bottle. Nobody dared to bring it up.

Having been scolded, Zhou Yanyan glared at her for half a beat, opening her mouth to mock her once more. “Are you sure this card of yours will work? Wasn’t it right before you married into the Mo family when all your cards were frozen? Do you need Han Tianyuan and me to buy it for you? Miss Ji needs not to stand on ceremony when it comes to us!”

Ji Nuan’s expression did not change. However, her heart sunk. She had forgotten about this issue.

Back then, to prevent her from escaping the marriage, her father had cruelly frozen all the cards under her name.

“The big Miss Ji, right after marriage she has become the water poured out into the streets by the Ji family. Not only is the inheritance under her name frozen, but even her card cannot be used! If others were to hear it, they would surely laugh their head off!”

Zhou Yanyan’s voice became louder and louder, as though afraid that people would not know that the Ji family’s oldest daughter could not even afford to pay 16 thousand yuan.

By her side, Han Tianyuan followed suit. “It seems like she really does not have money? If Miss Ji isn’t too happy after being married, I won’t fuss over your divorced status. Why not I pay this amount for you and you spend a night with me, how is that?”

“What are you talking about! Are you pretending that I don’t exist?!” Zhou Yanyan’s earlier pleased expression disappeared. She turned around to glare at him unhappily.

Han Tianyuan maintained a careless expression. “Do you think my money can be given out freely? If I don’t sleep with her, that’s also fine. I’ll let her accompany a few of my brothers for a night. Sixteen thousand for a night, Miss Ji would be the most expensive woman in the entire Hai Cheng!”

Zhou Yanyan laughed; her eyes were full of excitement. “Yes, yes, yes! This purchase is not bad! Miss Ji, how about it?

“The two of you, one asks and the other answers, if one doesn’t know they would think that you are professional duet singers.” Ji Nuan did not get angry but instead laughed. “Seeing your manners, the two of you seem suitable to go on stage to perform monkey shows.”

Zhou Yanyan fluttered her lashes happily. “What’s the point of putting on this noble attitude? Do you really think an illegitimate daughter like you could transform from a sparrow into a phoenix? If not for the Ji family’s protection, who knows which low-grade brothel you would be in right now!”

Hearing her words, Ji Nuan smiled lazily and carelessly, dragging her words out calmly. “Miss Zhou, when you were fifteen years old you dropped out of school before completing your studies. Messing around in different bars, the number of men you’ve slept with is countless. You say, if not for the protection of the Zhou family, right now, the one in a low-grade brothel, would that be you or me?”

Zhou Yanyan’s expression twisted.

Chapter 12: She Suffered a Shock After Being Deserted By the Mo Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhou Yanyan wanted to retaliate but was rendered speechless by her words.

This Ji Nuan, although she was a wealthy lady with a terrible temper, the Ji Family had sent her abroad to study many years ago. Even if right now she was just a bum who stayed at home without doing anything, the numerous awards and scholarships she received back when she was in America were not fake.

“Pei! In the end, right now, aren’t you just a garbage trying to live on the Ji family’s money?” Zhou Yanyan arrogantly laughed. “Don’t try to change the topic. Right now, are you able to buy this shirt! If you’re not able to do it, then quickly admit it!”

This luxury brand shop was in one of the flourishing districts. Many observers had gathered both inside and outside of the shop.

Ji Nuan was neither shocked nor panicked. The more people gathered, the more her smiling expression seemed to grow.

Standing by the side, Han Tianyuan’s eyelids twitched. For some inexplicable reason, he had a bad feeling.

He felt that something about Ji Nuan was different. If it was in the past, this Miss Ji would have long since smashed her handbag on Zhou Yanyan’s head without any reservations, tearing her apart before caring about anything else.

Yet, right now, she was still standing there, looking calm and unhurried as though she had become a different person.

“Miss Zhou, the moment you opened your mouth your words were so provoking. If I allowed you to maintain your dignity, everyone would think that I don’t hold anyone in my eyes, wouldn’t they?”

Zhou Yanyan felt that there was hidden meaning within her words and knitted her brows unconsciously.

Ji Nuan directly placed the shirt onto the counter while playing with the card that indeed could not be used for large payments. She calmly spoke:

“Right before you stuck onto Young Master Han, you received a breakup fee of one hundred million from another man. This small amount of sixteen thousand yuan is indeed a drop in the ocean for you. Since you insist on paying for me, I won’t snatch Miss Zhou’s limelight away.”

“What rubbish are you talking about? What one hundred million yuan breakup fee!” Zhou Yanyan’s gaze faltered. She felt a rush of cold air down her back.

“The words I’m about to say, surely Young Master Han will find it very interesting as well.” Ji Nuan glanced at Han Tianyuan whose brows knitted.

“Miss Zhou previously climbed onto a man who already had a family. That man was the financial supervisor in your Han Corporation Group. Both of them made use of a loophole in your financial accounts and removed several hundred million yuan. Right after that, he abandoned both his wife and daughter to bring Miss Zhou out of the country. Who knew that the high and mighty Miss Zhou was only interested in the money in his hands. Making use of both threats and seduction, she scammed one hundred million yuan away from him.”

Ji Nuan’s words were soft and unhurried, yet each word was distinct. Zhou Yanyan listened and became alarmed from fear and trepidation.

At this point, Han Tianyuan’s expression was complicated. His company did indeed mysteriously lose several hundred million yuan several months ago. Right now, they had yet to investigate this clearly.

Could this truly be related to Zhou Yanyan?

Thinking about it, ever since this Zhou Yanyan climbed onto his bed, she often carelessly brought up the progress on the investigation of the missing money.

Seeing Han Tianyuan’s expression change, Zhou Yanyan became flustered. She quickly turned around to explain. “Don’t listen to her nonsense! Our Zhou family does not lack in money. This sort of illegal issue, why would I…”

“Not lacking in money? Then why would Miss Zhou suddenly hold onto the Han family’s big thigh and refuse to let go? I remember a long time ago, one of your closest friends mentioned that towards someone like Han Tianyuan, who was a coward that wouldn’t even participate in a fight, you had no interest whatsoever, isn’t it?”

“…” Han Tianyuan’s expression became darker by half a shade.

“Young Master Han, I suggest that you investigate this issue properly—whether or not the Zhou family previously did not have sufficient money, and whether or not one hundred million yuan was suddenly transferred in. Where exactly did those money come from? Have the police begun investigating them? I’m sure the results will satisfy you.”

“Shut up! You’re speaking nonsense!”

Zhou Yanyan never thought that a secret buried so deeply would be discovered by Ji Nuan; who never seemed to care about all these small affairs. She was unsettled to the point where she felt like ripping out Ji Nuan’s lips.

No one should know of this issue!

Yet, right now, Ji Nuan could explain everything; even the timing, so accurately! How could this be!

Seeing that Zhou Yanyan’s expression looked as though she had seen a ghost, Ji Nuan laughed.

She had ten years worth of memory. Back then, this case was only solved several years later. It shook the entire Hai Cheng. Even if she did not want to know, there was no way she would not.

Initially, she did not intend to use such a method. After all, she felt that it would be an unfair battle.

If she wanted to deal with these two, there were several other methods she could use.

However, standing here and allowing them to take advantage of her was not part of her character. In her previous life, she had already been betrayed by the people closest to her. She had taken all of the wrong steps, but that did not mean that she was weak to the point where she would allow a woman like Zhou Yanyan—who was too inferior to be shown in public—to step all over her.

“I didn’t do it! Ji Nuan is using her words to frame me! It’s definitely because she she suffered a shock after being deserted by the Mo family. That’s why…”

“Which eye of yours saw me being deserted by the Mo family?”

Zhou Yanyan immediately shouted in rage, “You’ve been married to Mo Jingshen for more than half a year! Have the two of you showed up anywhere together? Even in the pictures captured by the media, the two of you have never been seen together!”

The more she spoke, the braver she became; throwing all her anger outwards. “In the entire Hai Cheng, who doesn’t know that you are Mrs. Mo in name only. Even Mo Jingshen doesn’t treat you like anything! I think that you don’t have to wait for long before being chased out of the family by him!”

“Is that so?”

A calm voice came from the entrance. It was as cold as a blizzard, yet it instantly caught everyone’s attention.

Chapter 13: Don’t Want to Dirty His Hands
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Nuan glanced behind her, staring in shock as Mo Jingshen’s cold and straight figure walked towards her from the entrance—

Why would he show up here?

The people watching from the sidelines were stunned. They saw that the man approaching had a tall and imposing figure. It was as though he was brought along by the spring wind outside the door. His serene and dark eyes led them to feel cold inside; no one knew where this stern and frigid god came from.

The moment Zhou Yanyan and Han Tianyuan turned around and saw Mo Jingshen, their faces froze in shock.

The common people here would not know of Mo Jingshen’s true nature, but how could they not?

Mo Jingshen’s cold dark eyes scanned past Zhou Yanyan and quickly landed on Ji Nuan. He saw the shirt she had placed on the counter.

“Mrs. Mo will be chased out of the Mo family’s door? Why don’t I know of this?” he asked calmly in a low voice. Although his words sounded inoffensive, the temperature in the shop seemed to forcefully drop in an instant.

Zhou Yanyan gaze trembled. “CEO Mo, why would you be here…”

Mo Jingshen had yet to glance at her.

He walked toward Ji Nuan. The employees by the side unconsciously stepped back.

Ji Nuan did not know why he showed up here, but because of his appearance, her heart became calmer.

As he approached her, she raised her head and smiled.”I’m all right. There’s no need to stand up for me.”

Mo Jingshen seemed not to have heard her at all. He held her hand, placing it in his palm—This one action was silent yet determined.

“CEO Mo, this is just a misunderstanding…” The moment Han Tianyuan saw Mo Jingshen he became scared.

Regardless of how big the Han family’s influence was, they would not be able to overcome the Mo family. If they caught the ire of Mo Jingshen because of such a small issue, when he returned home tonight, his legs would undoubtedly be broken by his parents.

Mo Jingshen did not even look at him. He ignored his useless words, coldly replying the earlier question, “Why would I be here? When I accompany my wife to shop, do I have to explain myself to you first?”

“…” Zhou Yanyan who was standing by the side choked.

Accompanying Ji Nuan to shop?

Everyone knew that Mo Jingshen was an extremely rare flower desired by many. Someone like him, how could he have the spare time to accompany Ji Nuan to shop!

Han Tianyuan saw that Zhou Yanyan appeared to be holding resentment against them and immediately thought to protect himself first. “CEO Mo, this is an argument between women. I am also unable to hold them back, you see, this is really…”

“Do arguments between women not require brains?” Mo Jingshen picked up the shirt from Ji Nuan’s hands, his eyes became cold and his voice even more apathetic.”Can’t you see that this shirt was specially picked for me? Mrs. Mo was ignored and is about to be swept out of the door; You can even make up words like that?”

Zhou Yanyan’s skin gradually turned white. Although she saw Ji Nuan buying the shirt earlier, she did not think that it would be for Mo Jingshen!

How could it be…

The rumors outside clearly stated that the two of them were distant from one another!

Mo Jingshen’s glanced at the card in Ji Nuan’s hands. He said as though to play down the importance of his words, “How many times have I said this, when you step out of the house you need to remember to bring your card. I’ve really spoiled you, even when you go out to shop you don’t bring anything. Do you really think that everywhere is the Yu Garden?”

A black card suddenly came into view, leaving Mo Jingshen’s hands and appearing in Ji Nuan’s.

Ji Nuan was not stupid and reacted very quickly. “It’s because I left in a rush and forgot…”

“Make sure you remember it from now on.” Mo Jingshen gently rubbed the top of her head, as though coaxing a three or four-year-old child that always got lost. His tone was unbearably doting.

Everyone watching was suddenly fed a hefty dose of public display of affection. All of them, regardless of whether they were married or single ladies, held onto their hearts and were green with envy.

The card that Ji Nuan was holding onto was a universal limitless type of high-class black card.

In actuality, it was not that Mo Jingshen had never given her the card. When they had just gotten married, he had already given her everything that he had. It was just that then, she refused to be with him even if she died.

“CEO Mo.” Han Tianyuan appeared to be fearless of death as he walked over thinking to explain himself. The moment he came nearer, Ji Nuan saw a flash of cold light appearing in Mo Jingshen’s seemingly calm eyes.

The words they had exchanged here earlier, he had evidently heard it.

She quickly pinched his fingers gently.

Regardless of how big the Mo family influence was, the Han family’s connections in Hai Cheng were not simple. There was no point in having the two family’s relation turn sour due to a small argument with Zhou Yanyan. She did not want to cause any trouble for him, even if this amount of trouble was nothing to him.

It was fine that she faced some problems herself, but she did not want Mo Jingshen to lower himself to deal with these sort of people.

It was not worth it! And it would dirty his hands!

Ji Nuan busily pressed herself into his embrace, speaking softly, “I’m hungry. I want to go eat.”

Mo Jingshen glanced at her deeply.

It was rare for Ji Nuan to quickly choose the peacekeeping solution.

This was indeed the most suitable solution. After this incident, he could deal with them without affecting the surface relationship between the families so that she would not have suffered in vain…

However, Ji Nuan’s change was…

Why exactly did she change?

Zhou Yanyan began to think of escaping silently, but Han Tianyuan saw this. The two-hundred million-yuan issue had yet to be resolved. Regardless if it was true or false, he could not allow her to escape like this. He reached out and grabbed her back.

“Ah! What are you doing!” Zhou Yanyan turned back and saw him. She was scared to the point that her voice instantly became soft. “Release me…”

“Running away after causing trouble? Could it be that you are really related to the case?!” Han Tianyuan cursed, hauling the dumb trash back.

Zhou Yanyan’s legs became soft. She could not even speak.

Ji Nuan tugged on the corner of Mo Jingshen’s shirt once more. “There are too many people here, and the air is not good.”

Her words meant that she wanted to leave.

Mo Jingshen tightened his grip around her hand, staring at her for a moment. When he spoke, his voice held no warmth whatsoever. “Apologize.”

Han Tianyuan’s and Zhou Yanyan’s expression froze. This word was clearly directed at them.

He wanted them to apologize?

In front of so many people?

Han Tianyuan that the crowd had yet to disperse. In fact, the amount of people gathering was increasing.

He was the young master of the Han family, something like a public apology…

Zhou Yanyan also felt somewhat embarrassed. However, regardless of how important her pride was, she could not offend Mo Jingshen.

“CEO Mo …” Wanting to quickly escape from the crisis before her eyes, Zhou Yanyan accepted her fate and said, “I’m sorry. Everything I spoke today was also what I heard from the media…”

Mo Jingshen glanced at her, his gaze frigid cold. “You are apologizing to me?”

A cold shiver ran down her spine; her eyes became somewhat red. Unwillingly, she turned to Ji Nuan. “Miss-Miss Ji, I’m sorry…”

“Miss Zhou, could it be that you previously yelled really loudly in a brothel? Is your voice mute? I really can’t hear anything.” Ji Nuan leaned over. Her face brightened with a smile.

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhou Yanyan raised her head to glare at her but immediately surrendered under Mo Jingshen’s cold gaze. Her lips trembled as she cried out, “Miss Ji, I’m sorry!”

“En? I still can’t hear you?” Ji Nuan had on an innocent smile as though she was harmless.

“I’m sorry, Miss Ji! I was wrong!”

This time Ji Nuan simply did not reply.

Zhou Yanyan gritted her teeth, breathing in deeply. Uncaring of the people around who were watching the show, she yelled out, “Miss Ji! I’m sorry!”

Ji Nuan’s gaze remained cold. Suddenly, she noticed the shirt that Han Tianyuan had come out wearing. “The shirt that Young Master Han is wearing shouldn’t be cheap either. Why don’t I buy it for you guys?”

Zhou Yanyan’s expression immediately became pale as she felt she knew what Ji Nuan would say next.

Zhou Yanyan felt as though she had fallen into a pit of ice.

“Why? You don’t wish to dance?” Ji Nuan turned back to glance at the people who had gathered outside the door. “Then why I don’t I pick a man here for you and you sleep with him for a night.”

Several excited whistles could suddenly be heard from the door.

Zhou Yanyan trembled from head to toe. It was not clear if she was scared or angry.

Han Tianyuan who was listening at the side began to panic. Today, if he did not make a public apology, not mentioning Mo Jingshen—who was a suppressing force in his own right—merely dealing with Ji Nuan alone would not be easy.

“Miss Ji, I apologize for my words and actions earlier. Seeing that there are some relations between the Han and Ji family, please don’t take today’s incident into account.” Han Tianyuan rarely spoke a few serious proper human words.

Ji Nuan smiled coldly. “Although the Han family is flourishing, they gave birth to a mentally disabled child. With a son like you, it seems that the Han family met with some form of retribution twenty years ago.”

Han Tianyuan tolerated it without rebutting. “If Miss Ji feels that she can vent her anger this way, then scold as you please.”

“Scold? Someone like you? Killing you, one would fear to dirty one’s hands; scolding you one would fear to dirty one’s mouth,” Ji Nuan mocked him and then suddenly smiled. “I heard that Young Master Han has two companies under your name that is about to be sold to a real estate company. Why not lower the price and sell it to me?”

Han Tianyuan became stunned for a moment. He never thought that Ji Nuan who had no interest in the corporate world whatsoever would make such an offer.

Mo Jingshen also glanced at Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan saw Han Tianyuan’s expression. “Thirty million yuan and the two companies will all come under my ownership. Deal?”

“Thirty million? I have two companies! Two hundred million is considered selling it at a low price! Miss Ji, you are clearly taking ad…”

“…” the corner of Han Tianyuan’s lips trembled.

Her expression… She was obviously doing this on purpose!

Han Tianyuan closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. He could not offend Mo Jingshen. If not, not even mentioning those two small companies, perhaps the entire Han Corporation would not be able to survive.

Right now, even if they wanted him to bow and offer the two companies for free, he could not reject.

He just did not know what this Miss Ji was planning by suddenly wanting those two companies that weren’t in very good condition.

“Fine! Thirty million will do!”

Ji Nuan smiled with both her brows and eyes. “Thanks. In a few days, I’ll head to your company to sign the contract to transfer ownership. Young Master Han, with so many people as witnesses, there is likely to be media news spreading around. Don’t forget your words.”

Han Tianyuan said through gritted teeth, “Won’t forget! I definitely won’t forget!”

Ji Nuan smiled lightly, holding onto Mo Jingshen’s elbow. “Hubby, let’s go~ I’m going to starve to death!”

Mo Jingshen stared at her for a moment. Ji Nuan felt as though his gaze could see through her soul. Stunned, she stared back at him. Yet, he only tucked her hair behind her ear, and then helped her to button her collar properly.

Before she left, Ji Nuan remembered to buy the shirt and then, before the eyes of an envious crowd, they left with their shoulders pressed together.

—-

The autumn night was cold. Yet, standing by Mo Jingshen’s side, she did not feel any cold. Ji Nuan walked and asked, “How did you know that I was here? Were you close to the building earlier?”

Mo Jingshen did not reply, opening the car door for her to enter. Ji Nuan sat down and then rushed to search her mind. “I drove the car here today myself.”

“Let Shen Mu drive it back.”

“Assistant Shen Mu is nearby?” Ji Nuan glanced around curiously but did not see anyone.

“What do you want to eat?” Mo Jingshen got in the car.

“Anything will do; eating simple is good enough~.”

“The issue about your card being frozen, why didn’t you mention it?” His voice was calm, but he was clearly upset about the fact that she had been acting strong all this while.

“It’s not completely frozen. Every month I still have around ten thousand yuan. I also don’t have much to spend on, so I never brought it up,” saying this, she rushed to hand over the black card in her hands, “I do not lack anything in the Yu Garden. I won’t be able to spend much money. This card should still…”

Her words had yet to finish when she saw Mo Jingshen’s gaze, as though warning her that the moment she returned the card he would pluck off her head.

Ji Nuan froze. Right now, Mo Jingshen was not the man he was when they just got married; the man who would constantly give in to her. If he were to lose his temper and not care about her, then even if she cried, it would be too late.

She immediately felt conscious and took back the card, keeping it in her purse. “Then I’ll keep it with me first. In the future, if I see any nice shirts or comfy daily wear, I’ll help you buy them.”

“I don’t need too much; buy whatever you like.”

The street lights outside the car were bright. Ji Nuan stared outside for a while but could not help turning to ask, “Why did you appear there just now?”

“Passed by.”

That hospital did have several roads nearby. It seemed like it was necessary to go by them to return from Mo Corporation to the Yu Garden.

Ji Nuan stopped asking but turned her head to stare at him.

Mo Jingshen wore a black handmade shirt. She could not see any obvious brand tag, but with one glance, it was clear that it was not cheap.

She thought that later when they got home, she would have him try on the shirt that she had bought. She had just opened her mouth to speak when she sneezed, “Achoo-”

Her nose felt sour and somewhat uncomfortable, Ji Nuan raised her hand to rub her nose, yet another sound came out. “Achoo!”

“I just reminded you not to catch a cold this morning.” Mo Jingshen heard her sneezing and immediately turned on the heat in the car.

Ji Nuan held her nose while speaking gloomily, “In the afternoon, when I came out I didn’t feel cold. It’s probably just my nose that is slightly uncomfortable. It shouldn’t be a cold.”

In the afternoon, she had left in a rush. Since she was planning to drive, she did not even wear a thin cardigan. Recently, Hai Cheng had just entered into autumn. The difference between the temperature in the day and night was very different. Earlier, when she left the hospital, she had felt a little cold but did not pay much attention to it.

Chapter 15: Don’t Be Scared, I Won’t Leave
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On the road, Ji Nuan could not hold it in and sneezed several more times.

Mo Jingshen directly drove back to the Yu Garden without bringing her to eat. He immediately called Auntie Chen to boil some red sugar ginger tea for her.

Ji Nuan did not take her cold seriously. She drank a few sips of the tea and furrowed her brows from the spiciness. Since a long time ago, she had always hated drinking this sort of thing. She really could not bring herself to swallow it down. Just as she was about to put the cup down, she raised her head and saw Mo Jingshen across from her.

It seemed like if she did not swallow the tea down, she would not be able to have dinner.

“This ginger tea is really too spicy.” Ji Nuan rarely admitted her troubles. “Can I drink it after dinner?”

“Madam, dinner is already being prepared. You drink the ginger tea first; it will warm up your body.” Auntie Chen appeared from the side, nagging, “Recently a lot of people have been catching colds, and their symptoms are especially serious. Yesterday, my niece from my hometown called me and told me that she caught a cold so bad that she couldn’t leave the bed for three days. It was painful to the point where she couldn’t even open her eyes. So, Madam, you must sweat it out tonight. You can’t catch a cold ah!”

Ji Nuan raised her head. Because she did not like to drink it, she could only look at Mo Jingshen with downturned eyes.

Mo Jingshen: “Heard that? Drink it.”

Ji Nuan was helpless. She could only raise the cup and drink several sips. It was painfully spicy, but she could not no drink it. In the end, she could only pinch her nose and chug it.

In the past, Ji Nuan was not so easy to persuade when it came to things like this.

When she was young, she had suffered a bad cold in the north. Ever since then, her body had been especially prone to fevers. However, her personality was stubborn. Whenever she fell sick, she would lock herself in her room and wrapped herself under her blankets to sleep for two nights. She would refuse medicine and injections, and would not even drink the ginger tea that was so difficult to swallow.

It was only when he saw the bottom of the cup that Mo Jingshen signaled Auntie Chen to hasten with dinner preparations because on the way back Ji Nuan had complained about being hungry nonstop.

“You go back to your room and have a warm shower first. Change to more comfortable clothes and come down,” Mo Jingshen said.

Ji Nuan had been intending to do so as well. After all, after drinking the tea, her body felt warm to the point of discomfort.

Not long after she returned to her room, Ji Nuan’s mind became somewhat dizzy and heavy. She was not sure if it was because she had really caught a cold.

Thinking of having a warm bath quickly, she removed her clothes and entered the bathroom.

After sitting in the warm water for less than a minute, Ji Nuan closed her eyes. She was dazed and began to feel sleepy.

But no matter what, she could not sleep comfortably. She wanted to wake up, yet she could not.

She felt like she was being tossed between the cold and heat. One moment her body felt like it was being buried in snow, the next she felt like she was being cooked in a pot.

This feeling was extremely uncomfortable. She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were heavy to the point where she could not lift them.

A pitch-black dream appeared in her mind mercilessly.

She dreamed that she had made a deep cut on her wrist and blood would not stop flowing out of it.

In her dream, she laid weakly in the hospital bed that smelled strongly of disinfectant. Her wrist was wrapped thickly in gauze. A tall silhouette stood by her side. He had already stood there for a whole night.

A divorce agreement was placed next to her pillow. She could hardly hear a single word the man was saying.

The scene kept changing. Ji Nuan wanted to grab onto that figure that was determined on leaving but could only stagger forward aimlessly in the dark.

She dreamed that after their divorce, all of the Mo family elders avoided her and did not speak to her. Due to her divorce and attempted suicide, her father began to have psychological problems. For two years she was not allowed to step in through the Ji family’s door.

She saw that Ji Mengran brought her to a bar to get drunk, saw herself take drugs there and becoming addicted!

The Ji family became bankrupt. Her father was extremely resentful, and all the closest people who loved her went far away. Her once proud and dazzling lifestyle gradually fell apart.

When she was feeling lost, Xia Tian thought of all sorts of methods to look out for her, bringing her home, accompanying her, cheering her on.

The scene changed once more. Ji Nuan suddenly ran like mad but was unable to hold onto the corner of a skirt. She saw Xia Tian’s blood-covered body fall under the bridge; her eyes staring up at the bird that flew past. Even in her death, her eyes were not closed.

Ji Nuan’s faith in life crumbled over and over again. All the people who loved her and the people she loved kept dying and leaving…

Those who once saw the Ji family as enemies found her. She was kidnapped, threatened, brought onto an old car that had several beautiful ladies, and finally sold to a mountainous area.

She was sold to a fifty-year-old man. The man even had a twenty-plus-year-old retarded son!

Every time she escaped; she was caught back. Over and over again she was cruelly hurt and scolded. She was even almost raped by the two of them. She could only use a knife to destroy her own face and body. Every day, her blood-covered body prevented them from doing anything.

That dark life… Why would it still enter her dreams?!

She wanted to wake up! She did not want to relieve the nightmares of her previous life!

The dark scenes kept changing. She ran out of the mountainous areas but was sold into Hai Cheng’s Yun family.

The Yun family’s young mistress was murdered, and she was convicted as the murderer. The police said that they made several investigations and found that according to a relative of hers, many years ago, she was on bad terms with the Yun family’s young mistress and it was confirmed that she had a motive to kill.

Relative? During then, aside from Ji Mengran who had long disappeared, she no longer had any other relatives.

In the last moments of her life, she was imprisoned and held captive for three months. Her drug addiction caused her to cough blood… Her life was in pieces…

This dream felt as long as ten years…

No!

Wake up!

Hurry and wake up!

She did not want to hear the news that Mo Jingshen brought Ji Mengran back to the country once more… she did not want that…

Ji Nuan struggled bitterly in her dreams but was unable to escape the vortex in the dark.

She suddenly heard the sound of a door being opened. A cool hand gently pressed against her head.

“She has a fever. Auntie Chen, go bring the medicine.” A cold and calm voice traveled past her ears. It was only then that Ji Nuan awoke violently from her dreams.

She opened her eyes with some effort and was instantly carried out of the tub by someone.

She was somewhat confused, unaware of where she was. She was not even conscious of the fact that she was naked.

Her snow-white skin, thin and long legs, the snowy soft of her chest, and even her seaweed-like wet silky hair were all shown to him.

Due to the boiling heat of her body that was beyond his expectations, Mo Jingshen wrapped her up in a towel. Ji Nuan instinctually leaned her head in his embrace, closing her eyes in pain.

Those nightmares no longer showed up. She released her breath but felt something warm wanting to flood out of her eyes.

Thank god… It was all in the past…

This was Mo Jingshen’s embrace. It was warm; it was what caused people to yearn for—an embrace that belonged only to her.

In the past, if she had not been so silly, even if she had lost everything, she would still have had Mo Jingshen.

In the end, even he was pushed away by her. Pushed so far away, so far!

She wanted to cry. She held in the tears and pressed her head in his embrace.

“Mr. Mo, this is the fever-reducing medicine. I’ve also brought the thermometer!” It was Auntie Chen’s voice. Her voice was somewhat breathless. It seems that she had ran to find the medicine.

Ji Nuan was placed on the bed. She subconsciously grabbed onto the sleeve of his shirt. Even if she was weak to the point of having no strength, she still weakly wanted to hold onto him.

Mo Jingshen saw her action and did not leave. He moved to hold her hand. “Don’t be scared. I’m not leaving.”

His quiet voice seemed to be the best soothing medicine. Ji Nuan weakly opened her eyes. Her eyes were somewhat red. Even if it was no longer scary, she still held onto him, unwilling to let go.

Chapter 16: Do You Want Me to Change the Method to Feed You?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mo Jingshen saw her figure and directly measured her temperature. Ji Nuan then heard him say, “Thirty-nine degrees.”

“Ya! How did Madam get such a fever from bathing? This temperature is too high!” The moment Auntie Chen heard him she panicked. “Once, Madam fell sick, but she kept herself locked in her room, refusing to eat or take medicine. I didn’t know what to do at all. Thank god this time you are at home, Mr. Mo. If not…”

“Go bring an ice pack.” Mo Jingshen cut her off.

Auntie Chen immediately stopped her nagging and rushed to go find an ice pack.

Ji Nuan knew that every time she caught a cold, she would have a fever. She was already used to it. Mo Jingshen knew as well, which was why he frequently nagged her to stay warm.

“Come, take the medicine.” Mo Jingshen helped her sit up on the bed.

She sat up, leaning in his embrace without struggling. It was only when he brought the medicine over that she furrowed her brows. In the past, she truly did not take medicine often. Due to the cold she suffered when she was young, she had to drink Chinese medicine every day. Since then, she hated any sort of bitter medicine. She would rather bury her head and sleep for several days than take medication.

“Be good, take the medicine.” Mo Jingshen lowered his voice, coaxing her.

She pressed her head against his shoulder, opening her eyes to stare at him. Her eyes were pleading, could she not take it?

He was silent for a moment before speaking softly, “Do you want me to change the method to feed you?”

Ji Nuan was curious and asked softly, “Change what method?”

Could it be that he was going to prepare some sweets for her? When she was young and needed to take medicine, the Ji family helper auntie would always prepare several sweets for her due to her whining.

Yet, the sweets she expected did not appear. Under her gaze, Mo Jingshen brought the medicine to his lips.

Ji Nuan immediately understood and rushed to block his hands. She then carefully took the medicine from him and placed it in her mouth.

Although she did not mind him feeding her with his mouth, she did not want to pass the cold to him.

The bitter taste spread in her mouth. Her brows furrowed and she rushed to swallow a big gulp of warm water. The pill was swallowed down, but she felt like the bitter taste in her throat was unbearable.

“So bitter.”

“You know that you can’t catch a cold and you still go out without a coat. Do you want me to lock you at home in the Yu Garden for the entirety of autumn and winter?” Mo Jingshen touched her hair that was still wet, speaking with a heavy voice, “Sit properly, don’t lie down. Dry your hair before you sleep.”

Ji Nuan was still leaning in his embrace unwilling to move. After drinking some water, she felt that it was not as uncomfortable as before, but she did not have much strength left.

Seeing her sickly and dependent figure, Mo Jingshen sighed and stood up to look for the hairdryer. He brought it to the bedside and plugged it in.

Ji Nuan sat on the bed. She really did not have the strength to dry her own hair. She turned to look at him. Just as she was about to whine and have him dry her hair, she heard the sound of the hairdryer coming from his hand.

The warm air blew past her hair, gently blowing on her scalp. Initially, she was still slightly giddy, and because of the nightmares, she felt like her current state was as though she was standing on a cliff. Her emotions were all strung tight. But this warmth allowed her whole body to relax. After only a few minutes, she began to feel sleepy.

The cold and fever medicine both caused drowsiness. Ji Nuan closed her eyes, feeling drowsy.

By the time her hair was dry, and Mo Jingshen had turned off the hairdryer, her whole body slanted to the side and almost fell.

Mo Jingshen reached out and held her. He saw that her drowsiness had come too quickly, and she was quietly leaning in his embrace. The room only had her quiet, soft breaths.

He lightly sighed, supporting her body to lie down on the bed.

His gaze unintentionally fell on her body wrapped in the towel. Earlier, when he brought her out of the bathroom, he could only use one hand to put the towel on her. Now that her body had relaxed, the snow-white skin of her chest could almost be seen. Her soft hair draped downwards, half concealing it.

In his embraced, she was completely soft and relaxed. Mo Jingshen’s gaze slowly darkened as he felt her cold hands.

Her body was burning hot, yet her hands were freezing cold. He breathed deeply, holding onto her hands. After a moment, as though having thought of something, he glanced towards her exposed snow-white little feet.

Touching them, he discovered that they were cold, just as cold as her hands. He held them in his palm and frowned.

Ji Nuan whined in her sleep, likely because of the comforting warmth that suddenly appeared on her hands and feet, “En…”

Mo Jingshen covered the blanket over her body. Ensuring that only her head was poking out, he gently touched her burning forehead, sliding down against her soft hair.

Ji Nuan did not sleep steadily. Her body was already burning hot. After being covered, it felt hot to the point of discomfort. She struggled a little but was held down by him.

“Mr. Mo.” Auntie Chen walked in, placing the ice packs on the side. Seeing that Ji Nuan was already asleep, she spoke softly, “Just now I remade some food for Madam. I also made porridge. Should we wake her and let her eat a little? She hasn’t had dinner yet.”

“Keep the porridge warm. Let her eat when she wakes up.”

Right now, even if she were to sit up, she most likely would not have even the strength to move her lips.

“Alright, then… Sir, you should go to rest. Leave this to me. I’ll take care of Madam.”

“No need. I’ll stay here tonight.”

—-

Although Ji Nuan was very tired, she did not sleep peacefully. In her half asleep and half-dreaming state, she felt as though her bed had been pressed down slightly. Her body had already released some sweat. It was warm and sticky and extremely uncomfortable. She frowned; her face full of an expression of dislike. A few seconds later, she was pulled into an embrace. The blanket on her was covered even more tightly around her. Even the smallest bit of gap was not revealed.

“So warm…” she said in a daze.

Mo Jingshen laid by her side holding her, repeatedly wrapping around her the blanket she tried to kick away.

It was only when her hands and feet were no longer as cold, and her body temperature seemed to drop several degrees after sweating that Mo Jingshen gently touched her sweat-covered hair. “Bear with it for a little while. When your fever drops, it won’t be so uncomfortable, en?”

She quietened down.

At midnight, Ji Nuan suddenly woke up. She stared at the man who laid so close to her.

Due to her high fever, some red veins were showing on her eyes. She stared at him silently.

After being stared by her for a minute, Mo Jingshen opened his eyes. “Awake? Auntie Chen kept some porridge warm for you. Come have some.”

He sat up.

Ji Nuan rushed to grab hold of his hand, unwilling to let go. “I won’t eat. Don’t go…”

The dependence and love in her voice could not be concealed.

Mo Jingshen who was about to tug his hands out paused in surprise.

If it were just the discomfort from the fever causing her to act spoiled, that would not be strange. But such weakness and fear should not appear in Ji Nuan.

Chapter 17: I Don’t Mind Accompanying You to Shower for a Whole Night
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Still uncomfortable?” He sat back down by the bed, one arm pulling her into his embrace, touching her head.

Ji Nuan shook her head, slanting down in his embrace dependently. “It’s much better.”

Auntie Chen was unable to stop worrying the whole time. She passed their door in the middle of the night and heard that there were movements. She rushed off to serve up some porridge.

“Mr. Mo, it’s already so late. I’ll feed Madam some porridge. Her fever was serious, so she needs to eat some food.”

Mo Jingshen used his free hand to take the bowl from her. “No need. I’ll do it.”

Auntie Chen was surprised. Ever since Ji Nuan had a fever, he never left her side by a single inch. It seemed like this little couple that previously treated each other like strangers were really going to begin their happy life from now on.

Auntie Chen smiled and stopped disturbing them. She quickly left the room and gently closed the door.

Ji Nuan caught the scent of the white porridge. There seemed to be some minced meat inside, and it was extremely fragrant. She immediately glanced inside the bowl. The moment she saw it, she became even more hungry.

Mo Jingshen removed his hand from hers. With one arm he tugged on her shoulder, helping her to sit up and lean in his embrace.

Although Ji Nuan was no longer as dizzy, she still felt rather weak. She laid against his chest limply; her forehead pressed under his chin.

Her eyes remained fixed on the porridge in the bowl like a kitten begging for her owner to throw some food her way.

At the same time, she could feel his gentle breathing land on her forehead.

It was a heart-melting sensation.

Mo Jingshen brought a spoonful of porridge to her lips. “Open your mouth.”

This time, Ji Nuan was very obedient and listened to him. When she swallowed, she felt like her taste buds had been awoken. It was so fragrant.

Seeing that she was willing to eat and was eating happily as though her appetite had opened up, Mo Jingshen chuckled softly. Bite by bite, he fed the entire bowl to her.

Ji Nuan laid back down on the bed feeling well-fed and enjoying the care of Mo Jingshen.

“My whole body is covered in sweat. Can I shower again?” she asked in a soft voice.

“Your fever hasn’t completely gone down. Shower tomorrow morning.”

“But my whole body is so wet and sticky that it’s difficult to bear…”

“Bear with it for a night.” He did not give in to her and turned off the light, leaving on only the bedside lamp yellow light. “Sleep for a few more hours. When the sun rises tomorrow, we’ll measure your temperature again.”

Mo Jingshen laid down by her side. Ji Nuan began pushing herself into his body until his arms were around her in an embrace. His hand patted her back gently to coax her to sleep. Ji Nuan pressed her head against his shoulder, whispering, “Earlier on, you carried me out of the bathtub so directly…”

Mo Jingshen did not speak.

She spoke dazedly again, “You’ve already seen me completely. Then it shouldn’t be too much for you to bring me to wash again. I didn’t even complain about it earlier.”

Mo Jingshen: “…”

—-

At last, because Ji Nuan was a clean freak who could not sleep until she showered, her insistence finally led Mo Jingshen to bring her to shower again.

After showering, her whole body was relaxed and smelled good. She felt that her sickness was half healed. She was wrapped up in a towel and brought back to the bed by him once more.

However, this time, Mo Jingshen did not hold her to sleep.

Ji Nuan turned around, under the yellow bedside lamp, she stared at the man who, for some strange reason, was sleeping with his back facing her. She raised a hand and pushed against his back.

“Why is your back facing me?” she asked. Her voice was still slightly raspy.

Mo Jingshen did not reply, catching her little hand and pressing it down.

“Sleep,” he spoke calmly. His low voice was strangely hoarse.

Ji Nuan had thought that because of her illness there was suddenly some feelings between the two of them, but her heart was immediately broken. She was upset because his back was facing her and directly moved closer, pressing against his back and placing her hands on his shoulders. Her face was also leaning against his back.

“Can you turn around? I want you to hold me to sleep~.”

“…”

“You were still fine earlier, why are you suddenly turning your back toward me?”

“…”

Hearing her soft and quiet voice filled with slight resentment, he sighed and turned around, giving in to her wishes and holding her in his embrace.

The moment he turned around; Ji Nuan suddenly became aware of his lower body’s… changes…

What was that… she seemed to have found the reason…

To ask him to turn around again, was it too late?

Mo Jingshen could not take her slightly wet and moved eyes staring at him. He held her, pressing her head into his embrace.

“When you’re all healed, try asking me to help you shower again,” he said while gently nibbling on her ear. His voice was low and heavy, yet at the same time, it seemed to hold hidden depths, causing her face to turn red and her heart to pound rapidly. “I don’t mind accompanying you to shower for an entire night!”

Ji Nuan instantly became obedient, staying in his embrace quietly without moving at all.

However, she could not sleep. Her hands gently held onto the buttons on his well-made shirt, feeling that although he did not move, in this situation, it should not be easy for him to sleep either.

She raised her head, staring up from under his chin at this man who was handsome to the point of perfection from every angle.

“Have you realized that I’ve changed a lot?” she asked.

Mo Jingshen’s gaze on her these past few days were all attempts to see through her. He was clearly suspicious of her changes, yet he never asked.

Since it was like this, she would just take the initiative.

He gently patted her back, as though coaxing a child who could not sleep and was constantly looking for topics to talk about. He did not answer.

“Do you prefer the current me? Or, do you prefer the previous me?” Her gaze under the yellow light was bright like the moon, even the fever could not dampen the brightness in her eyes.

“It’s all you. What’s the difference?” His words were unhurried.

“Of course there are differences. In the past, I was always unwilling to accept our marriage, but right now I’m working hard to become close to you.” Ji Nuan buried her head into his neck, speaking softly and hoarsely, “In the past, you’ve always treated me well. Even though I constantly stirred up trouble, you never once slowed your feet that were moving towards me. No matter if you feel like my change is too sudden, please don’t doubt my heart. Even if there are one hundred steps of space between the two of us, you have already walked several tens of steps. If you feel tired from the journey, then please leave the rest to me, let me walk. Let me do it. Let me learn to treasure this, to have you… if that is all right…”

The air suddenly fell into silence.

Ji Nuan wanted to look at Mo Jingshen’s expression right now. In her past and current life, she had never confessed to someone before.

She attempted to raise her head but was held tightly in his embrace. Even her head was pressed firmly against his neck. She could not lift it even after a moment of trying.

Mo Jingshen: “…”

He remained silent.

“Everything I said earlier was serious. I’m not dazed from the fever. I…”

All of a sudden, she heard his low voice from the top of her head. “If you speak anymore, I won’t be able to take into consideration your body’s condition. Are you sure you want to continue teasing me?”

Ji Nuan was stunned.

Her confession also counted as teasing?

Chapter 18: Mr. Mo Is Taking Care of Madam
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Nuan suddenly felt a kiss fall between her brows.

“Don’t think that I really have no hidden intentions. You are still sick, be good and go to sleep.” His gentle voice fell between her brows. Seeing that her eyes were still open, he uttered softly, “Quickly, sleep.”

This time Ji Nuan really stopped talking. She closed her eyes, breathing in the pleasant fresh scent that belonged to his body.

This was a feeling of belonging that led one to feel at ease.

——

The next morning, Ji Nuan woke up at 9:00 a.m.

She pressed her hand against her forehead. It seems like her fever had already reduced, but the symptoms of a cold were still around.

She sat up, pushing aside the blanket. Just as she was about to get off the bed, she became surprised, lowering her head to stare at her own body.

She wore a soft silk pajama dress. Yesterday, after showering, she clearly fell asleep in a towel.

This… Did Auntie Chen change my clothes? Or was it…

The door suddenly opened. She raised her tousled head and saw Mo Jingshen walk into the room.

The automatic curtains slowly shifted open, and the golden sunlight landed on his body.

The man before her was of calm and handsome temperament. Charming to the point of causing people to be dazed.

Mo Jingshen saw her sitting by the bed with a strange and silly expression. “Feeling better?”

“What time is it? You haven’t gone to the company?” Ji Nuan woke up from her daze, asking rather than replying. As she spoke, she picked up her phone by the bedside.

9:30 a.m.?

It was already 9:30 a.m.!

Although Mo Jingshen did not need to be in the company every day, in her memory, he rarely ever missed work on weekdays and barely ever took any holidays.

“There’s nothing much happening in the company today. It’s fine if I don’t go.” Mo Jingshen approached the bed, picking up the thermometer and measuring her temperature while she was still looking stunned.

Ji Nuan was still reprimanding herself for disturbing his work, but heard him say, “Thirty-seven point six degrees, how do you feel right now?”

“Much better, it’s not as hard to bear as last night.” Ji Nuan raised her hand to touch her own forehead. “This temperature shouldn’t be considered a fever anymore, right?”

“There’s still a little fever. Don’t go out today. Stay at home to take your medicine and rest well.” Mo Jingshen pressed her shoulder, pushing her to sit back down on the bed. “Whatever you want to eat, have Auntie Chen send it up. Don’t walk around, en?”

“I’m not that seriously ill, and this isn’t considered a fever anymore…”

Ji Nuan had yet to finish her words when she heard the sound of footsteps outside. The helper called out from the door, “Mr. Mo, there is a phone call for you.”

Mo Jingshen threw a glance at Ji Nuan, using his gaze to signal for her to obediently stay in the room before he left to answer the call.

Ji Nuan sat on the bed, picking up the cup by her bedside and drinking a sip, soothing her throat. She then picked up her phone to send Xia Tian a message.

Yesterday, she had promised Xia Tian she would visit her today at the hospital. But with her condition, Mo Jingshen most definitely would not allow her to leave and experience the wind outside.

In addition, her body that was weak against the cold really did need to be properly taken care off. It was not good to always fall so sick whenever she caught a cold. She could not be so delicate.

Downstairs, Mo Jingshen walked down the marble staircase, seeing the handset placed on top of the tea table.

He asked lightly, “Who called?”

The helper by the side spoke respectfully, “It’s Miss Meng Ran.”

Mo Jingshen’s footsteps paused. He turned to glance calmly at the helper.

The helper rushed to explain, “Earlier, Miss Meng Ran suddenly called. Originally, I was also curious why she did not call Madam’s handphone and instead called the house phone. My mouth slipped, and I told her about Madam’s illness. After that, Miss Meng Ran asked if Mr. Mo had left for the company. I said that you were staying at home to accompany Madam. She then asked for you to receive the phone.”

Mo Jingshen’s expression became colder. He did not walk over and instead spoke coolly, “In the future, if we receive the Ji family’s second daughter’s call, there’s no need to inform me.”

The helper nodded her head quickly. “I understand, Mr. Mo. So, this phone call…”

“Tell her that the Madam’s illness is already fine. There’s no need to ask about her condition from me. If she is really concerned, tell her to ask Ji Nuan herself.”

Mo Jingshen turned around to walk back.

Ji Mengran was still waiting in anticipation on the other side of the call. As preparation for when Mo Jingshen picked up the phone, she had even made a mental draft of everything she wanted to tell him.

Right now, she could not visit the Yu Garden frequently. Although she could not go, she still had to find opportunities to speak properly with Mo Jingshen. Ji Nuan’s changes were indeed a bit strange. She just did not know Mo Jingshen’s thoughts about it.

That day, Ji Nuan had said that she did not want a divorce. But the things she did previously were all out of line. Could Mo Jingshen really continue to tolerate it?

“Hello, Miss Meng Ran. I’m really sorry, Mr. Mo is currently taking care of Madam. He is unable to squeeze out the time to pick up the phone,” the helper declared. “Mr. Mo says that if Miss Meng Ran wishes to find out more about Madam’s condition, you could ask her yourself.”

The helper did not dare to be as blunt, keeping her words as tactful as possible.

However, Ji Mengran could hear the meaning behind those words! He clearly did not want to pick up her phone!

Earlier in the phone, she had heard Mo Jingshen approaching. He had come downstairs to take the phone call but, in the end, he did not do it!

Since the past, Mo Jingshen has never cared much about her. She wanted to go to the Yu Garden frequently, to appear in front of him more so that he would see the good in her. After all, regardless of how she acted, she still appeared better than the Ji Nuan who was always unreasonable and insisting on a divorce. Surely, sooner or later, he would develop feelings for her.

However, she had yet to make progress, and she already could not enter the Yu Garden. She did not even have the opportunity to be close to him anymore.

Now that he refused to pick up the phone, she could not even know the development between Ji Nuan and him!

Ji Mengran was angry to the point where her face twisted. She raged, “How did you pass the message? Didn’t I say that I have things to tell Brother Jing Shen? I’m very clear about my sister’s condition. Every time she catches a cold, it’s the same thing. Why would I need to ask more? Go tell Brother Jing Shen, I wanted to tell him that…”

“Miss Meng Ran, if you have any business please call Mr. and Mrs.’ handphones. This handset phone will usually only be called by the Mo family elders. You can directly call and inform them. I’m really sorry; I have other things I need to do.” The helper quickly said and hung up the phone.

“Hello? You! You’re not allowed to hang up, you…”

The beeping sound from the phone caused Ji Mengran’s expression to turn bad as she threw the phone on her bed with force.

Since young, Ji Nuan had always loved to pick fights with their father. However, at the end of it, he still prioritized her. Why was it that the one who got to marry Mo Jingshen was not her!

Why was it that Ji Nuan could own all these things without any effort on her part!

Was her performance in the past too obvious? Why on earth did Ji Nuan suddenly push her out!

Even if Ji Nuan did not clearly say it, Ji Mengran could feel that her attitude had a tremendous change!

But, so what if it has changed?

Mo Jingshen and Ji Nuan would not have a good end!

One day, Mo Jingshen would be hers for sure!

Chapter 19: We Actually Saw the Male God in Such a Place
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Inside the main bedroom.

“Crunch, crunch…”

Ji Nuan listened to the sound of chewing through the phone, feeling helpless yet amused.

“Nuan Nuan, you didn’t even forget to nag me in the message you sent me earlier, asking me not to contact the guy who injured me. What on earth is going on? Do you know that person?” Xia Tian chewed on an apple, asking in confusion.

“Anyway, he is not a good person; just stay away from him.” On this issue, Ji Nuan was very insistent.

“Ooh~. From your tone, it sounds like he is extremely bad.”

“Very bad! Bad to death! He can even be called the ultimate bad man! So you definitely cannot get close to him!”

“Cough, cough, don’t be agitated! If I ever see him again, I’ll turn around and walk away~. Will that do?” Xia Tian said as though she was trying to coax her. “I promise to keep my distance from him!”

Ji Nuan smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes.

That bastard who caused Xia Tian to not even be at peace in her death, in this lifetime, had better not show up in front of her again.

Xia Tian finished her apple and wiped her mouth. She turned to the television in the room. “Just now, the news broadcast was very interesting. Previously, at one of the parties, there was a person who kept finding problems with you—Zhou Yanyan. The one who has a huge ego, do you remember?”

“Why are you mentioning her?”

They had just met yesterday. Toward such a person, Ji Nuan was lazy even to bring her up, but she never expected that Xia Tian would suddenly mention her.

“Didn’t you see the news? Yesterday, at Hai Cheng Square, Zhou Yanyan wore a bikini and pole danced for three hours! It was as though she had taken too many drugs and gotten too high! The number of people who gathered to watch was considerable. She was immediately taken away by the police after that! Also, the news that she was featured in wasn’t some simple media entertainment gossip outlet, but the official government business news! Ha, I really laughed to death!”

“… She really went to dance?”

“Of course! Earlier on the television, they even showed several pictures taken from afar! One glance and you can tell it’s Zhou Yanyan!”

“Ah, she deserves it.”

“Why do I feel like you know more about this? Anyway, that Zhou Yanyan’s mouth is smelly to the point where there were several times when I felt like giving her a few slaps! Now, she has received the appropriate retribution! She deserves to be embarrassed! I just don’t know what on earth did she take to become so crazy~. Aiya, the hospital is really boring. There are barely any news coming in. I can only watch the television~.”

Ji Nuan smiled, “God is watching everyone’s actions. Her embarrassment are but the consequences of her own act.”

While speaking, Ji Nuan picked up the remote controller, turning towards the crystal display screen in the tea room in the other corner.

Having found the Hai Cheng news station, the story about Zhou Yanyan’s pole dancing had already ended. Now, they were showing the scene of the Zhou family being surrounded by the media.

Considering Zhou Yanyan’s father’s temper, he was most likely already about to explode. His own daughter had embarrassed herself to the point where the whole Hai Cheng knew. She was even suspected of having taken drugs, leading to her actions of pole dancing while wearing so little. These were all news headlines that would make it difficult for him to face anyone.

Even if the Zhou family wrecked their brains, they still could not be considered one of the top families in Hai Cheng. Nonetheless, their influence was not small. However, after such an incident, the Zhou family’s company stocks would most likely fall.

Such a butterfly effect, Zhou Yanyan herself could never have seen it coming.

“Nuan Nuan, her issue is not related to you, is it?” Xia Tian suddenly asked.

“Why do you ask?”

“I heard that the Zhou family has people behind them and that they are all shady people. You definitely cannot be involved in this. Otherwise, if they were to use dirty methods, they would be difficult to deal with.”

Ji Nuan recalled the resentful expression in Zhou Yanyan’s eyes yesterday and smiled lightly. “Don’t worry. So long as there is the Ji family, no matter what tricks they choose to use, there are not many people that can touch me.”

“That is true. If they want to touch you, not only do they have to consider the Ji family’s reputation, they also have to consider that the Mo family is not easy to deal with.” Xia Tian clicked her tongue while she said, “Tsk tsk, your biggest support is Mo Jingshen. If you still don’t learn to hold onto your husband’s thigh tightly, one day, if he were to be stolen by someone else, you would definitely cry!”

Ji Nuan smiled. “Don’t worry; his thigh will only have me. There is no space for anyone who wishes to hold onto it~.”

Mo Jingshen stood outside the door. When he heard, “will only have me,” his lips curved. He brought out his phone and his long fingers dialed a number.

He walked towards the hallway. His deep and calm eyes stared out of the window. “Help me with something.”

The voice coming through was a male’s low voice. It had some lazy sexiness in its tone. “En?”

“Keep an eye on Hai Cheng’s Zhou family’s every action. Inform me immediately of any unknown person coming into contact with them. Watch all of their actions clearly. Don’t allow them any chance of scheming in the dark.”

“Zhou family? They managed to provoke you?”

Mo Jingshen replied calmly, “Somewhat. Watch them.”

It was silent for a moment before laughing sounds came through. “All right, I got it.”

Mo Jingshen placed down the phone, turning around to see that Ji Nuan had already walked out of the main bedroom.

“Hungry again?” He directly walked over.

Ji Nuan touched her stomach with some embarrassment. “Maybe it’s because of falling sick. My body is consuming too much energy even though I already ate last night.”

“Return to the room. I’ll have Auntie Chen send food up.”

After seeing her remain by the door with some hesitation, Mo Jingshen eyed her again, “What else do you want?”

“I want to eat the four-style glutinous rice ball soup that is sold near your company.”

Seeing Mo Jingshen furrow his clear brows, she rushed to say, “Actually it’s fine even if I don’t eat it. Everything that Auntie Chen makes is delicious. I’ll just eat the breakfast that she made.”

Seeing that she was acting like a glutton for the first time, yet rushing to explain herself, Mo Jingshen could not hold in his smile. He raised a hand and gently rubbed her hair. “I’ll go buy it.”

“Really?”

Mo Jingshen curved his lips, signaling for her to return to the room to wait.

Ji Nuan then obediently returned to the room. When she closed the door, she secretly peeked outside to find that Mo Jingshen had already gone downstairs. She felt like Xia Tian’s gluttonous mouth had influenced her. One bowl of Auntie Chen’s porridge and a bowl of rice ball soup could make her happy for half a day.

—-

The four-style rice ball soup that Ji Nuan spoke of was indeed very close to the Mo Corporation.

A black Rolls-Royce Ghost was parked by the road. Mo Jingshen came down the car to see that this small shop had a long line of people in front of it.

He glanced at the time and walked towards it.

There were also two young girls queueing. One of them suddenly pushed the girl next to her, speaking quietly, “Quickly look, isn’t that Mo Jingshen?”

The other girl turned around, replying softly with a face full of shock, “That should only be a person with a physical resemblance, no? Why would CEO Mo come to this sort of small shop personally to buy glutinous rice ball soup?

“You see that car parked nearby? That is the 100th-year-anniversary edition Ghost! There is only one in the entire world! I heard that this is Mo Jingshen’s car. There shouldn’t be any mistake, right?”

“My god! It really is! Quickly pinch me. Am I dreaming? We actually saw the male god in such a place-”

Chapter 20: Feed Her Full
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In front of the small shop, the queue was extremely long. Mo Jingshen did not send anyone to buy for him, nor did he ask anyone to go to the front and cut the line.

Around 40 minutes later, the glutinous rice ball soup that Ji Nuan wanted was finally bought.

Seeing that Mo Jingshen was about to leave, the two girls hid by the tree at the side while appearing lovesick. “Mo Jingshen actually stood so patiently to queue for this kind of food! I eat the same kind of food as my male god, ah!”

“… As if, didn’t you see that he bought more than one person’s portion? It’s likely that he didn’t buy it for himself.”

“He really did buy a lot! This kind of sweet dessert that only girls like, who did he buy it for?”

“The great Mo Jingshen put in so much thought and effort to come and queue for such a thing; it’s definitely for a woman! You say, could it be that CEO Mo has some other woman outside?”

“That shouldn’t be… Do you remember the news on Zhou Yanyan this morning? I heard that it happened because last night Zhou Yanyan said some nasty things in front of Mrs. Mo and offended CEO Mo. At that time, many people were watching! Everyone said it was the first time they ever saw CEO Mo himself. They never thought that he would dote on his wife so much. I suspect that rice ball soup was bought for his wife. That Ji family’s eldest daughter, what on earth did she do in her past life to gather so much good luck…”

“En? That’s not right. My best friend is quite close to the Ji family’s second daughter. She heard from her that there is no love between her sister and her husband. It’s very likely that they will get a divorce soon! She even said that because of this the Ji family is always worried and that the Ji eldest daughter doesn’t know how to treasure what she has~.”

“What’s the use of hearing? The truth is right before our eyes! Do you have the Ji family’s second daughter’s number? Quickly tell her! This can be considered sharing some news! With this, we might be able to become close to her, and from now on, we may be considered friends of a rich family!”

“Yes, yes, yes, I’ll look for the number…”

At the Ji family home.

Ji Mengran tossed and turned on the bed. The blanket and pillows were all thrown on the floor by her in a fit of rage.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She scanned the screen with impatience. Seeing that it was an unknown number, she glanced at it suspiciously for a moment before picking up.

After listening to the phone call, Ji Mengran’s expression became even uglier. She directly hung up the phone.

Mo Jingshen actually lowered himself to go queue for a bowl of rice ball soup for Ji Nuan.

He even went there personally!

Usually, Mo Jingshen was busy at the office to the point where every minute he had was precious. However, he actually spent so much time to go queue for her!

Since when did Ji Nuan become so delicate. The things that she wanted to eat, she even needed to send Mo Jingshen to buy. She was really shameless!

No! She needed to clear things up with Mo Jingshen!

Ji Nuan’s recent changes were very abnormal. She had to make sure Mo Jingshen was alert. She could not let things be, could not let Ji Nuan possess him so completely.

Ji Mengran refused to admit defeat. She picked up her phone and searched for Mo Jingshen’s private number, refusing to believe that the phone was still with Ji Nuan.

“Sorry, the number you have just dialed is unavailable right now. Please try again later.”

Ji Mengran furrowed her brows. There was a bad feeling in her heart, so she rushed to call again.

Even after calling for several times, it was the same message coming through! It was as though there was a barrier she could not go through!

Ji Mengran was frantic and frustrated!

No matter if he was on the way back to the Yu Garden, or if he was still at the Yu Garden, the reception should not be that poor. That it happened so many times in a row could only mean one thing. He had blacklisted her number!

———

“Madam, you only ate such a small bowl, will you be full?” Auntie Chen saw that Ji Nuan’s appetite was quite good, but she only ate a small bowl before putting it down. She could not help but nag at her to eat more.

Ji Nuan had yet to reply when Mo Jingshen came back.

When Auntie Chen saw the things Mo Jingshen held in his hand, she could not help but smile.

No wonder earlier on when Madam was eating, her eyes kept looking outside. So, Mr. Mo went out personally to buy her some food.

Auntie Chen busied herself with keeping the food, nagging a couple more times before rushing out of the room.

Ji Nuan sat on the bed and watched Mo Jingshen as he walked through the door. He placed the bag of food he bought on the table near the bed, opening it and uncovering the soup.

“You bought it? Did you queue for a long time? Earlier on, I only ate a little bit of breakfast to save space for it.” Smelling it, Ji Nuan stood up and leaned close.

The fragrant and lightly sweet scent lingered in the air. The taste that she had not had in ten years; just smelling it alone felt very sweet in her heart.

“Not very long. You like to eat this sort of thing?” Mo Jingshen did not pass her the spoon. After helping her open it, he glanced at her.

Seeing her lean so close as though she really wanted to have it, he could not help a small smile.

“The Ji family is so strict. I rarely have the opportunity to eat things like these. I had the opportunity to try it twice and ever since then I kept wanting to have this taste again.” Ji Nuan said while smelling it again, stretching her hand towards the top of the bowl to fan the scent over.

“Don’t burn yourself. Go sit down,” Mo Jingshen said lightly.

Ji Nuan sat back on the bed obediently. She initially thought that Mo Jingshen wanted to let the soup chill a bit before giving it to her. She never thought that he would pour some out into a separate bowl and, after letting it chill for two minutes, he walked over and raised the spoon to her lips.

“Here, it’s not hot anymore.”

She glanced at him in surprise.

However, after a moment, under his gaze, she opened her mouth and ate it.

So sweet, so warm .

It was as though pink bubbles had appeared in her heart because of this sweet and warm taste.

After he fed another bite and Ji Nuan ate it, she rushed to say, “I can feed myself.”

“The wound on your head hasn’t even healed, and you’ve already gotten a severe fever. Letting you eat something so hot on your own, what if you burn your hand. I think I would have to arrange a nanny to watch you 24 hours to feel at ease,” as he spoke, he fed her another bite.

The temperature of every bite that Mo Jingshen fed her was just right and a little soup always accompanied the rice ball. It was not too much soup, and although it was sweet, it was not sickening.

“Twenty-four hours nanny? Would that be a robot or a demon that doesn’t sleep?” Ji Nuan chewed on the rice ball. “Also, am I that unreliable? I’m just eating something, how would I burn myself.”

Mo Jingshen’s lips curved. He stuffed another bite in her mouth. “The number of times you were unreliable are too many to count.”

Ji Nuan’s mouth was stuffed full, and she could not reply. She tried to open her mouth but had to stop because of Mo Jingshen’s gaze.

“Eat, don’t speak.”

“… You’re doing this on purpose… Uu.”

This guy was too black-bellied. He didn’t want her to speak, so he fed her so much. She had just opened her mouth, and he stuffed another bite in.

How many sets of rice bowl soup did he buy? In one bowl there are only four small rice balls. Could it be that he bought several tens of bowls to feed her full…

Chapter 21: This Is the Yu Garden, Not the Mo Family Home
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The afternoon had just passed. Under Mo Jingshen’s supervision, Ji Nuan ate another dose of medicine. Although she no longer had a fever, she had to take another pill for her cold.

This caused her to sleep again in the afternoon. By the time she woke up, the sky was still bright, but it was already almost evening.

The room was quiet. Ji Nuan got up to leave the room but could not find Mo Jingshen. She thought he would be in the study room and went there, but she still did not see him.

“Madam, you are awake.” The helper heard some noise and walked over. “Are you looking for Mr. Mo?”

Ji Nuan turned back to see the helper. Not only could she not find Mo Jingshen, Auntie Chen was also not around.

“Mo Jingshen went to the office?”

Could it be that there was something urgent that had to be dealt with in the office?

“Mr. Mo is receiving guests downstairs.”

“Guests?”

Aside from Ji Mengran who frequently came, usually there were no friends or relatives that would visit.

The Ji family and the elders from the Mo family had also not visited in the past six months. If they wanted to see them, they would usually phone them and ask them to return home rather than coming to the Yu Garden themselves.

So, who were the guests who suddenly arrived?

However, since there were guests, Ji Nuan who was currently ill and still dressed in her pajamas was not suitable to meet them. She saw that the helper had turned to busy herself with work, so she returned to the room to change. After cleaning herself up to appear better, she walked back out.

As she walked down the stairs, she had yet to see the guests and could only hear a woman’s voice, “Jing Shen, you should be very busy right now, aren’t you? Recently, you haven’t been returning to the Mo family home as often. Aiya! There are still so many things waiting to be handed over to you at home, yet you insisted on setting up a business of your own. You child, the Mo family still has a business in America that needs…”

That voice suddenly stopped because of Ji Nuan. The nagging, concerned voice suddenly changed to a ridiculing tone. “The eldest Miss Ji has finally awakened? She really has been spoiled from a young age. It’s bad enough that she’s always lazing about at home without working, but she actually wakes up so late each day. She really doesn’t know what it’s like to suffer at all. What a spoiled princess!”

“She’s ill. I was the one who let her sleep until now after taking her medicine.”

Ji Nuan recognized the person and walked over. “Aunt, I’m sorry. The helper did not tell me that you came.”

This was Mo Jingshen’s aunt, Mo Peilin. She was a daughter from Grandfather Mo’s younger brother’s family. She could only be considered a distant relative. However, those of Grandfather Mo’s generation were all very close, so the younger generation all set up their lives in Hai Cheng and would often meet at various Mo family gatherings.

Mo Peilin seemed as though she did not hear Ji Nuan’s voice, only glancing at her coldly.

“Regardless of which family’s precious princess she is, since she has entered the Mo family, she cannot treat it as her own home. She doesn’t even know any rules or manners. Jing Shen ah, you need to be stricter with her. You can’t keep giving in to her.”

Mo Jingshen expression became distant. “This is the Yu Garden, not the Mo family home. She doesn’t need to abide by any rules.”

“That won’t do! Even if it’s not the olden days anymore, if the Mo family’s daughter-in-law remains so childish and is always being so lazy, that’s too much!”

Mo Jingshen smiled coldly, ignoring her unkind words. Seeing Ji Nuan stand there without moving, he spoke softly, “Won’t you be tired standing there? Come here and sit down.”

Ji Nuan smiled, obediently walking over. Right before the eyes of Mo Peilin, she sat right next to him.

Seeing them sit so closely, Mo Peilin’s expression suddenly became uglier.

Her daughter, Mo Jiaxue, who sat by her side looked away. Her expression was unhappy.

Auntie Chen brought over some of the excellent tea previously taken from the Mo family. Under Mo Jingshen’s signal, she also left the hot water on the tea table.

“Feeling better?” Mo Jingshen poured some hot water for Ji Nuan. She still had a cold, and it was not suitable for her to drink tea.

“This entire day, aside from eating, I only slept. I really feel better now.” Ji Nuan smiled and sat by his side, acting as though she did not notice the ugly expressions on this mother-daughter pair.

“So you actually know that besides eating, all you do is sleep? Always enjoying without doing any work! Jing Shen has already been married to you for two years, yet you’ve never once returned to the Mo family home. Those who don’t know would think that our Jing Shen is still single.” Mo Peilin who had been ignored for half a day rolled her eyes. “Miss Ji is really delicate. You’ve just fallen a little sick and Jing Shen has to put down his work to focus on taking care of you.”

Ji Nuan turned to look at her. “Aunt, between now till Mo Grandfather’s 80th birthday there is still more than a week. I’m preparing to go and see him on his birthday.”

“It’s Elder Mo’s birthday; if you still don’t show up, from now on you won’t need to go through the Mo family’s door anymore!”

Ji Nuan did not seem affected as she lifted her beautiful brows. Her voice slow and calm as she said, “Normally, the elderly already seem so busy. Going back less, isn’t it for the sake of letting them have more peaceful and quiet times?”

Mo Peilin’s expression froze. Her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

Ji Nuan’s words meant that all these people who were barely related to Grandfather Mo were constantly looking for opportunities to hold onto the Mo family’s big thigh, causing Grandfather Mo to have no time for peace and quiet?

“Ah! It’s true that you should go back less. It saves the Mo family from having to look at your face!” Mo Peilin’s expression was ugly; her tone was also sharp. “Who knows what curse Jing Shen is under. He actually fell for you!”

Due to Mo Peilin’s tone and words against Ji Nuan, Mo Jingshen’s brows furrowed. His expression turned instantly cold.

Mo Peilin’s voice raised by several decibels. “Back then you didn’t know how to tell good from the bad. During the wedding, your attitude was so terrible. After being married for so long there is still no news of any children. I think you don’t intend to live a good life with Jing Shen at all! Then, why are you still holding onto the title of Mrs. Mo? Hurry up and divorce, and let our Jing Shen get his freedom back! The number of women who wish to marry him is extremely high! In such a big Hai Cheng, there are several hundred thousand of well-bred women more suitable for him!”

Mo Jingshen abruptly opened his mouth, his tone extremely cold, “Auntie Chen, send off the guests.”

The coldness and slight anger could be heard from his voice. Ji Nuan did not speak, but placed her hand in his, gently pressing against his palm. The meaning was that she would not take these words to heart.

Mo Peilin did not intend to leave. She sat on the sofa refusing to move. “Jing Shen, I haven’t finished speaking! Today, I specially made a trip to the Mo Corporation. In the end, they said you didn’t even show up for work! Since you decided to set up your own business, your company should be more important. Yet, you’re staying at home to take care of Ji Nuan!”

“What is important and what is not, I’m well aware of it. There’s no need for Aunt to worry.” Mo Jingshen’s voice remained cold, the initial politeness he maintained was gone.

“Originally, as an elder, I didn’t want to speak such ugly words, but isn’t it just a cold and fever? It isn’t some serious illness, is there a need to accompany her? I think that her feelings toward you are definitely not as strong as yours are for her!”

Chapter 22: The Pavilion Closest to The Water Enjoys Moonlight First
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although the issue of Ji Nuan constantly demanding for a divorce had never spread outside, everyone in the Mo family knew about it.

As though she was putting herself in his shoes, Mo Peilin considerately said,” Jing Shen, don’t be too offended by Aunt’s words. I’m just feeling upset on your behalf…”

Mo Jingshen gently held Ji Nuan’s hand in his. She knew intuitively what he was trying to say and because of that, she was barely affected by Mo Peilin’s words. She smiled with both her lips and her brows. “You must have misunderstood something. Previously, I did have some arguments with Jing Shen, and because of that we had a cold war for some period, but that was it. Besides, the issues between us as a couple, even our parents are not interfering, don’t you feel that you are stretching your hands too far?”

“You…”

Mo Peilin thought that Ji Nuan was relying on the fact that Mo Jingshen was here to act out of line, but she never thought she would go so far! To think that she would insult her right before her face!

“Ji Nuan is still ill. She needs absolute quiet in order to rest.” Mo Jingshen paid no mind to Mo Peilin’s choked expression. “If you came here just to have a peaceful walk, unfortunately, we won’t be able to entertain you.”

“Mom.” Mo Jiaxue who sat by Mo Peilin’s side carefully tugged on her hands, quietly speaking, “Don’t talk about that anymore… Let’s talk business.”

“Hmph, since young his character has been that of a cold mountain. I only lectured Ji Nuan for a bit, yet he protected her so much.” Mo Peilin glared at Ji Nuan harshly.

“Take care. We won’t send you off.” Mo Jingshen no longer looked at them, tugging Ji Nuan’s hand to stand up.

The signal to chase them off was too obvious. Mo Peilin rushed to speak up, “Wait! I have serious business to talk about! Jing Shen, Jia Xue is also considered your younger cousin. This year, she graduated from Hai University Business School, and her ability in various areas is very good. I heard that your secretary’s position is still empty. Let Jia Xue give it a try; how about it?”

“I don’t agree!” Ji Nuan’s eyes turned cold as she subconsciously spoke up.

Mo Peilin glared at her. Her eyes were filled with unhappiness. “You don’t agree? What right do you have to disagree? The one I asked was Jing Shen!”

How could Ji Nuan not see through her intentions?

Each line insinuated that she was unsuitable for Mo Jingshen. Was it not all for the sake of looking for an opportunity to push her daughter to his side, to be at the pavilion closest to the water to enjoy the moonlight first?

Mo Peilin had a divorced when she was very young, so her daughter took her surname. But at the end of the day, she could not be considered part of the Mo family. She was just a normal distant relative. But, if they could add a marriage on top of that, especially an alliance with Mo Jingshen, in the future they would not have to try very hard to hold onto the relationship with Elder Mo.

Of course, Ji Nuan would not give them such an opportunity. “Aunt, the Mo Corporation is not any other company. The people in each department are carefully selected. The position of the CEO’s secretary, how can it be given to whomever you want to give?”

“Anyway, the position of Jing Shen’s secretary is empty! They can’t possibly find someone so quickly! It won’t hurt anyone to let Jia Xue go!” She really was a busybody. Mo Peilin felt more hatred against Ji Nuan!

Ji Nuan looked as though she had heard something rather interesting and smiled. “Your daughter graduated at the age of 23 from Hai University Business School. When I was 18 years old, I had already received a good ranking from America’s MIT Finance School. If we are comparing, don’t you think I am even more suitable?”

“I believe that cousin’s company will prioritize ability.” Hearing this, Jia Xue abruptly stood up, pushing the glasses that sat on her nose while shoving a few words in.

Her gaze fixated on Mo Jingshen. After staring for a while, she could not stop her face from turning red. The pure, secret love and the self-conscious anticipation could not be hidden from her face.

“That’s right! Ji Nuan, don’t act like you are capable! I bet the Ji family bought that position. Right now, your age is not small. You’re already 20-plus-years-old yet you don’t have any work experience. Lazing about all day is the most suitable for you!” Mo Peilin swept a mocking glance at her.

At this moment, Mo Jingshen’s handphone rang.

After two minutes, he hung up. Ji Nuan tilted her head at him to ask, “Is there something important that needs you back at the company?”

“No, just a document that needs approval from me. Shen Mu will send it the Yu Garden before five o’clock,” as Mo Jingshen spoke, his hand did not move away from hers while the other hand was casually placed into his suit pocket. He glanced coldly at Mo Peilin who stood at the side as well as Mo Jiaxue whose face was red.

“The Mo Corporation indeed does value ability. But from what I know, Mo Jiaxue’s graduation thesis was completed by paying others to write it. Her examination scores were also unremarkable.” His voice was cold and calm. While no mocking could be heard, it did not give the other party any opportunity to continue arguing.

Mo Jiaxue’s expression froze. “I…”

Mo Peilin rushed to protect her daughter. “Aiya! My daughter would never do such a thing! Jing Shen, don’t listen to whatever you hear! Jia Xue’s results are excellent!”

Mo Jingshen coldly curved his lips but did not look at them. He only looked at Ji Nuan. “Tired?”

Ji Nuan shook her head. “Don’t worry. I’m not tired.”

—-

Shen Mu’s speed was fast. The document arrived before it was even five o’clock.

Mo Peilin continued to look for various topics to speak about, unwilling to leave. Seeing the document arrive, she rushed to receive it from the door and then handed it to Mo Jiaxue.

Under Mo Jingshen’s cold eyes, Mo Jiaxue glanced at the document in her hands.

After one look, she was stunned.

This… was all in English!

And it was the most challenging level of English! All the different complicated terminologies caused her eyes to blur.

“Why do you look so stunned? Pass it to your cousin!” Mo Peilin signaled with her eyes, asking her to use this opportunity to perform well.

Mo Jiaxue paused for a moment. She was somewhat embarrassed and unwilling to look at Mo Jingshen in the eyes as she passed him the document.

Mo Jingshen did not receive it, speaking apathetically, “Didn’t you want to prove your own ability? Translate the first page out loud. I’ll listen.”

“Ah? F-first page…” Mo Jiaxue was embarrassed. She raised her eyes to glance at him but was frightened by Mo Jingshen’s cold eyes.

It was a difficult English document, how could she translate it…

Even when she was working as an intern, she did not participate in the interviews… Such a document was extremely unfamiliar to her…

All of a sudden, a smooth white hand reached out, taking the document from her. Mo Jiaxue saw her actions and wanted to speak up, but she held it in.

She could not even recognize these words. Could Ji Nuan who was always lazing about be able to?

“What document is this?” Ji Nuan casually flipped through and glanced at it, easily reading out the English at the front and then used the most simple and accurate words to translate out the important contents in the document. After finishing, she glanced towards Mo Jiaxue whose face had turned bright red. “It can’t be that you can’t even recognize these simple words?”

Mo Jiaxue was struck dumb, how could she forget, Ji Nuan previously studied abroad for many years!

Seeing the situation, Mo Peilin rushed to push her daughter behind her, glaring at Ji Nuan with an unhappy face. “Jia Xue graduated in a university within the country. Isn’t it normal that she cannot understand English? You went overseas to study in your teen years; what’s the point of being proud about understanding a bit of English?”

Chapter 23: After All, the Woman That He Truly Keeps in His Heart Has Already…
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Mo Corporation is a listed company and often participates in other projects. If the CEO’s secretary cannot even translate such a simple document, just by sitting by the computer and drinking tea, how could she become a secretary?”

“If our Jia Xue cannot be the CEO’s secretary, are you trying to say that a twenty-year-old brainless brat like you are able to?” Mo Peilin was angry to the point where her words no longer made sense. “You’re just relying on the fact that Jing Shen spoils you and protects you! Otherwise, you would not have the qualifications to do it at all!”

“Aunt, don’t be so rash with your words. Earlier on, I simply took myself as an example. Although I studied overseas, my father felt that my abilities weren’t strong enough and arranged for me to further my studies in finance within the country. However, I’ve been dragging it until now without completing it, and I’ve never officially graduated. In addition, my age is indeed not good. I definitely won’t make use of Mo Jingshen’s wife’s position to mix into the company. The Mo Corporation isn’t a place where any ugly person can enter. What do you say?”

Ji Nuan smiled happily as she explained.

On the other hand, Mo Peilin was mad to the point where her face was white.

What ugly person! She actually said that her precious daughter was ugly!

“Jing Shen! Look exactly what you’ve brought into the Mo family! She used such an attitude to speak to an elder!” Mo Peilin’s anger was not light.

Mo Jingshen calmly curved his lips, looking calm. “Everything she said was what I wanted to say. Nothing is incorrect.”

“You! You…” Mo Peilin’s eyes were filled with rage. “Jing Shen! When Jia Xue visited the Mo family when she was young, you always took care of her! Why is it that with these kinds of issues you are helping an outsider? What medicine did Ji Nuan give to you? She…”

Hearing this, Mo Jingshen’s expression did not change but in an instant he removed any close relation they could have had with the Mo family.

“In the Mo family, I am the host, and you are the guests. Rather than taking care, I was simply fulfilling the basic conduct of being a host,” he calmly said.

They kept mentioning the Mo family, but aside from having the Mo surname, were there any areas where they were related to Hai Cheng’s Mo family?

All they wanted was a stable pillar in Hai Cheng which was why they kept clinging to the most reliable foundation of the Mo family.

“Mom, let’s just leave…” From the document, Mo Peilin could tell that her chances of obtaining the role of the CEO’s secretary were indeed small. She already felt somewhat ashamed and could only whisper to Mo Peilin.

She was but a naive student who had just graduated from university. On the other hand, regardless of how Ji Nuan was insulted, she stood firmly by Mo Jingshen’s side complimenting him so well. Her hand was held in his from start to finish. Her face was also perfect.

Perhaps because Ji Nuan had received the highest level of education since young, regardless of what circumstances she was faced with, her performance was still calm and confident. Her temperament was not something any other girl could compare to. This caused Mo Jiaxue to feel even more inferior. She wanted to leave quickly to prevent from being insulted any further.

“We’re not leaving! Why do you have to leave? We haven’t cleared this up!” Mo Peilin raged. “Ji Nuan’s surname is not Mo! Who does she think she is? Let the Mo family be the judge!”

Mo Jiaxue felt embarrassed by her mother who was pestering them endlessly and tried to use force to pull her out but could not move her. In the end, she could only stay silent with red eyes.

“Madam, I’ll send you back to your room to rest. It’s too noisy here.” Auntie Chen received Mo Jingshen’s eye signal and rushed forward to whisper by Ji Nuan’s ear.

Ji Nuan did not move. Her eyes met Mo Peilin’s. Just as she was about to speak, Mo Jingshen squeezed her hands.

Mo Jingshen spoke calmly, “Ji Nuan is my wife. Her surname isn’t Mo? How did Aunt come to this conclusion?”

Mo Peilin choked, freezing for a moment before arguing mindlessly, “At the end of the day, you will still get a divorce!”

Mo Jingshen leaned to the side, holding Ji Nuan’s hands, but his words were directed towards Mo Peilin. As though pouring cold water over her, his tone was as cold as ice, “I respect you as an elder and did not humiliate you. Watch your words and don’t cross the line, if not, in the future, I may not be as kind.”

Regardless of silhouette, looks, background or his cold, quiet aura, the feeling that Mo Jingshen gave others was always calm, yet at the same time, it made it difficult for others to breathe.

Seeing that Mo Jingshen was truly angry, although it could not be seen from the surface, the tension in the air did become cold. Mo Peilin could not help feeling a shiver running down her spine…

Ji Nuan watched this man who kept on protecting her. Her heartbeat increased.

She did not care much about the nonsense spouted by this woman. But Mo Jingshen’s protection made her feel as though she was safely kept within his wings. It was warm and secure.

“You’ve really grown up. Now you’ve learned to bully us, mother and daughter…” Mo Peilin suddenly sounded as though she had been wronged, her voice weakening.

Mo Jingshen’s voice remained cold. “You won’t leave when we ask you to. Do you want to be thrown out?”

“Mom, even if we speak anymore there is nothing of benefit to us.” Mo Jiaxue tugged on Mo Peilin’s sleeves. “Don’t mention about Ji Nuan and cousin’s divorce anymore. Their relationship seems very good. Saying this kind of words, we are clearly in the wrong.”

Mo Peilin gritted her teeth, lowering her voice to reply, “Stupid brat, what nonsense are you saying? Is your weak ambition beaten down after seeing how impressive they are?”

How was this nonsense?

Mo Jiaxue raised her head and saw that Ji Nuan’s hands were continuously held in Mo Jingshen’s. The feeling that no one would be able to interfere was too evident.

Mo Jingshen never seemed like an emotional person. Today he actually got angry from protecting Ji Nuan… If they kept arguing any further, don’t even mention the Yu Garden, they may not even be able to enter the Mo family door anymore.

Mo Peilin was not stupid. She could see that this situation was not favorable for her. It was fine to offend Ji Nuan, but if because of this they offended the Mo family, then the consequences would not be very good in the future.

Before Mo Peilin tugged her daughter out off the door, she added on unhappily, “Ji Nuan, don’t be happy too early! Jing Shen is not as simple as you think. You may think that he treats you well, spoils you and protects you. But isn’t it all for the sake of benefitting from your family? After all, the woman that is really in his heart has already…”

“Mom!” Mo Jiaxue saw Mo Jingshen’s gaze and froze in fear, busily cutting off her words and dragging her away.

The door opened and closed. The loud “peng” sound of the door slamming shut was shocking, and because of this, Ji Nuan paused in surprise.

Chapter 24: Sleep on the Bed or Sleep with Me, Choose One
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mo Jingshen remained calm, “Just idle words, no need to pay attention to them.”

Ji Nuan: “…”

She never said that she was going to pay attention to those baffling words.

“I didn’t scold you earlier because there were guests. The living room on the first floor is so chilly. You didn’t even put on a coat before coming down. Do you really plan for me to take a month of vacation to stay at home and watch you?” Mo Jingshen held onto her ice-cold hands; his tone slightly unkind.

“Cough, that, just now I took a glance at the document Assistant Shen brought over. It does seem rather important. Do you want to go to the office to settle it? I’ll…”

“You are the most important.”

“…”

Ji Nuan did not have the time to be moved by his words before she was brought upstairs. Without a coat, she was not even allowed to come downstairs.

Was this the stern husband that the legends spoke of?

—–

At night, Mo Jingshen went over to the main bedroom but did not see Ji Nuan.

He glanced towards the shut door of the bathroom. Although there was not much noise, the sound of water flowing into the tub could be heard.

He raised his wrist, glancing at the time.

After more than ten minutes, Ji Nuan still did not exit.

Ji Nuan indeed sat in the tub bathing. The water was hot, and after soaking for a while, her eyes became somewhat dazed, distantly glancing at the mist in the air.

In her mind, Mo Peilin’s voice rang once more, “The woman that is really in his heart has already…”

Those kinds of words…

Mo Peilin should have been making things up when she said that, right?

After all, in the entirety of her two lives, the Mo Jingshen she saw has always treated her well. Not only could she see it with her eyes, but she could also feel it with her heart.

Also, back then, for the sake of looking for reasons to cancel the wedding, she had already attempted to look into Mo Jingshen’s history. She had spent more than a month hiring others to investigate him in the dark.

Mo Jingshen was unpredictable, mysterious, and private. The number of bodyguards he had was also rather large, making it hard for her to find opportunities.

However, at the end of a lengthy investigation, what she found was that many women were chasing after him, loving him, and hoping to marry him. For the sake of meeting him, one even attempted to use suicide to threaten him. These women were celebrities of great family backgrounds and female idols that were high on the social hierarchy.

Yet, Mo Jingshen never once gave those women any opportunities. Even if they attempted to use death to threaten him, he still remained calm, giving them no attention whatsoever.

In front of women, he has always maintained an indifferent and suitable distance, making him difficult to understand and even harder to approach. His self-control and composure were remarkably restrained.

No!

That night he tortured her so much to the point that her voice became hoarse. Even then, he still did not let her off!

And yesterday, even though her fever was so high, he still managed to have a reaction!

Restrained my ass!

The bathroom door suddenly opened. Ji Nuan who was currently leaning against the tub in a daze looked up in surprise.She stared at the long-legged man who had directly walked in with shock.

Before the mist, the man’s tall silhouette was somewhat difficult to look at.

She blinked her eyes before returning back to her spirits, finally noticing that she had stayed in the tub for too long. She was so stunned that her reaction was somewhat slow.

“What are you doing? I’m showering.”

Her long wet hair was spread out across her back, like black seaweed. The little droplets of water on her face reflected the bathroom lights.

Mo Jingshen only glanced at her for a second before pulling over a bath towel and fishing her out of the tub. Ji Nuan did not even have the opportunity to protest before she was already wrapped in a bundle.

Without saying a word, he brought her out.

“Mo Jingshen, I’m showering. Why did you suddenly enter…”

“I already gave you nearly twenty minutes. Soaking in hot water for so long, do you want to faint in there again?”

Ji Nuan heard that his tone was unkind but could not understand why he was suddenly losing his temper.

She furrowed her brows. “Then you could have just called me from outside…”

Mo Jingshen placed her on the bed, tugging off the towel on her body.

Ji Nuan’s body suddenly felt cold. Realizing that she was not wearing anything, she rushed to roll around the bed and wrapped herself up in the sheets.

“Didn’t you ask me to help you bathe yesterday?” Mo Jingshen threw her towel to the side.

“But I can do it myself today…”

Mo Jingshen acted as though he did not hear anything, tugging the sheets on her body down. Due to his sudden overbearing behavior, Ji Nuan was at a complete loss as to what to do.

Could it be that because he could not sleep well last night, seeing that she was feeling better today, he was trying to seek recompense?

Mo Jingshen opened the blankets and placed her in it, calmly speaking, “Ji Nuan, trust is the most important factor between couples. No one’s empty words should be able to affect your emotions.”

His words were too calm. Ji Nuan glanced towards his light and clear expression.

Earlier on, when she was in the bathroom, she did overthink about the things she should not have thought about…

Could Mo Jingshen read minds? Or could he easily understand other people’s hearts?

“Don’t want to sleep? Are you fully healed?”

“…”

“If you don’t wish to sleep, why don’t we do other things.”

Ji Nuan’s hands that were placed on the blanket could not help but retreat slightly, “No! Not completely healed yet…”

Mo Jingshen bent over, reaching over to lift her chin and gaze at her.

Ji Nuan was just about to speak when he used the opportunity to lean down and kissed her.

The surprisingly deep kiss caused her to become somewhat dizzy. Only when her unclothed body shrunk backward under the blanket did he gently bite her lips, whispering next to it, “Sleep on the bed or sleep with me, choose one.”

With a whoosh sound, Ji Nuan rushed to cover the blanket all the way to her head.

Of course, she will sleep on the bed!

Such an abruptly overbearing Mo Jingshen, she was afraid that she would not be able to take it.

——

When she woke up, the sunlight spread across the bed warmly. She glanced toward the window while blinking and then picked up the phone to look at the time.

Mo Jingshen always woke up earlier than her. At this time, he should have already gone to the company. Yesterday, he specially stayed to accompany her, but this afternoon the company had a fixed weekly meeting.

After resting for two days at home, she was in good spirits as she went to wash up.

When she returned to the bedroom to change, the phone that was placed by the pillow rang. She walked over to glance at it and found that it was a call from the Ji family.

Without trying hard, she guessed that her dad should have received the news.

Otherwise, based on his smelly and strong temper, he would not have called her for no reason.

“I heard that you bought two companies from Han Tianyuan?”

“En.” Ji Nuan felt somewhat dazed after not hearing her father’s voice for a long time.

“Such a big issue, why didn’t you discuss it with the family? Han Tianyuan, that trash, he has never known how to do business! Right now, business property is not flourishing within the country. The two companies in his hands are on the brink of bankruptcy! Yet, you spent thirty million yuan for it. Such a company is not even worth one million yuan!”

“Dad, wait for me to return home before we discuss this issue.” Ji Nuan’s tone was calm. On the phone, she did not wish to argue about such things.

Chapter 25: There Must Be Something Wrong with This Medicine
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“You brat, you’ve never focused on anything, and you’ve never been interested in the company. That’s fine, I didn’t force you. Ever since you’ve gotten married, you’ve been emotional all the time. I know that you don’t feel good inside, but you cannot mess around like this!”

“Dad, please trust me. These two companies have a rather significant chance of bringing in profits within the next few years.”

Ji Hongwen was just about to say more but paused in surprise.

This daughter of his has always been extremely stubborn. Ever since her mother passed away and he remarried, she was even more impolite to him as a father. It was rare that they would not end up fighting each time he called.

However, earlier she had said, “Dad, please trust me.”

Such a sincere and polite attitude was very different from the way Ji Nuan would usually speak…

Ji Hongwen was stunned for a moment, and his tone remained unkind. “Come back to the Ji home now and clear things up. I’ll send the chauffeur over to pick you up!”

“There’s no need to pick me up. I’ll drive myself over.” Ji Nuan’s cold had already healed. Originally, she had planned to visit Xia Tian after getting changed. She slowly said, “Xia Tian was involved in a car accident a few weeks back. Her leg is fractured. I’ll drop by the hospital to visit her first.”

“Fine. Watch out for your safety when driving and don’t be so absent minded.” Although Ji Hongwen’s tone sounded just as cold as before, it warmed up slightly.

Ji Nuan smiled. “I’ll be back before six. Dad, don’t forget to have Auntie Qin save some food for me.”

“…”

Ji Hongwen was utterly unused to facing such a gentle daughter. After half a day, he still could not make any sound and directly hung up the phone.

——

It was past six in the evening when Ji Nuan drove back to the Ji home.

The car drove into the Ji family’s old residence’s front yard. Ji Mengran was on the balcony of the second floor playing with her phone. When she saw Ji Nuan, she immediately placed her phone down, glancing at her in surprise.

“Big sister? Why are you back?”

Ji Nuan seemed as though she did not notice her. After parking her car, she directly strolled in.

Auntie Qin had already come out to welcome her. “Eldest Miss, you’re finally back. It’s been months since I last saw you!”

“Auntie Qin, did you miss me?” Ji Nuan smiled as she reached out to hold Auntie Qin’s elbow.

“Of course I missed you, how could I not have? Mr. Ji said that you would be coming back for dinner tonight, so I specially made your favorite braised ribs and steamed lotus root!” Auntie Qin happily patted her hand. “Since you’re back, do you want to stay at home for a few days?”

Ji Nuan had yet to reply when she saw her stepmother, Shen Heru, approaching the moment she stepped through the door.

Seeing that she had really returned home, Shen Heru appeared to smile bright as she squeezed in—pushing Auntie Qin to the side—and tugged Ji Nuan’s hands as she said, “Nuan Nuan, if you still did not come back, your father would have rushed to the Mo family demanding for you.”

Ji Nuan glanced at her while coldly and calmly pulling her hand back. She turned back to ask Auntie Qin, who had been pushed to the side, “Where’s my father?”

Auntie Qin rushed to reply, “Mr. Ji hasn’t been feeling too well in the past few days. Earlier he said that he would return to his room to have some medicine before coming down.”

Medicine?

Ji Nuan’s expression did not change, but she quickened her footsteps towards the staircase.

“Ai, Nuan Nuan, don’t argue with your father the moment you are back. Ai, you child, why are you walking so quickly…” Shen Heru nagged from downstairs seeming very proper, all the while turning back to glare harshly at Auntie Qin.

Auntie Qin retreated without saying anything more.

Ji Nuan had quickly arrived outside Ji Hongwen’s room door. Just as she was about to knock, she heard the sound of a glass of water being placed on the table and pushed the door open with force.

A loud “peng” came from the door—

Ji Hongwen held onto two white pills as he turned to stare at Ji Nuan who had suddenly barged in. He immediately frowned unhappily. “How old are you? Do you know how to behave? Even when opening the door, you have to make so much noise!”

“Dad!” Ji Nuan walked over, stopping him from placing the pills in his mouth. “What medicine is this?”

Ji Nuan snatched away the pills in his hands and picked up the small medicine bottle on the table, scanning at it.

All the words on it were in English. It mainly wrote that it contained supplements suitable for the middle-aged to strengthen their body.

“This is the medicine that your Auntie Shen specially brought back from abroad when she went overseas a while ago. It’s a whole set of body supplements. There are pills and tablets,” Ji Hongwen simply replied, looking at her unhappily. “Didn’t you say you would be back before six? It’s almost 6.30p.m! Such a poor sense of time!”

“It was the rush hour earlier; there was a traffic jam,” Ji Nuan explained while she continued holding the pill bottle tightly.

In her previous life, she felt that her father had died very strangely.

Back then, because she was on poor terms with her family, she could not remain by his side in his last moments. She had only managed to catch one last look at him before he had passed away at the hospital and did not even have the opportunity to understand the cause of his death from the doctor. However, on his death certificate, it was written that the cause of death was respiratory failure and a sudden heart attack.

In her impression, her father’s health had always been excellent. He was only fifty years old when had he passed away. How could his health have worsened so dramatically in the span of a few years?

Even if the Ji family had gone bankrupt, leading to a series of misfortunes, the stress should not have impacted him to the point where his heart had stopped within a night, causing his death.

Back then, she was not at home and was therefore unclear of the situation. Earlier when she heard Auntie Qin said that he was taking his medicine in the room, Ji Nuan was suddenly reminded of this.

Her father was not ill, why would he have to take medicine all of a sudden?

Shen Heru had said that these were supplements, was it true?

Ji Nuan did not forget that Shen Heru’s family had several members who studied medicine and learned to produce it. This was definitely not simple.

“Why are you still holding onto my medicine? Quickly put it down!” Ji Hongwen stood up, scowling at Ji Nuan, “Also, the issue about those two companies, you better explain it well today!”

Ji Nuan raised her eyes, changing the topic and speaking seriously, “Dad, can I have this medicine for a few days? I’ll let people from the state’s Food and Drug Administration check what’s inside.”

Ji Hongwen frowned and angrily spat, “Nonsense! What are you checking for! I have already been married to your Auntie Shen for several tens of years. And you suspect even the medicine she buys? No wonder even though you both call her Auntie Shen, Meng Ran and she are like a pair of mother and daughter while you treat her like an enemy, never showing her a good side!”

The room door was suddenly pushed open again. Ji Mengran gently opened the door, poking her head in and asking with an obedient looking face, “I just passed by and heard noises from the room. Dad, Big Sister, you just returned, and the two of you are fighting again?”

“This doesn’t concern you, leave!” Ji Hongwen glared toward the door.

Ji Mengran made an “Oh” sound and then gently closed the door again.

Although she was yelled at by her father, Ji Mengran was not affected at all and was instead happy about the disaster as she left.

Ji Nuan had only just returned for a while, and she had already argued with their Father. There would surely be a good show to watch tonight!

Chapter 26: Father-Daughter Relationship Has Broken Ice
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Auntie Qin and the Ji family helpers had already prepared dinner.

When Ji Hongwen came downstairs, Shen Heru and Ji Mengran saw that he seemed cold and stern. His expression was dreadful.

He did not even glance at Ji Nuan who was following behind him.

Seeing this scene, Ji Mengran took the opportunity to speak up, “Father, don’t be mad at my sister anymore. She rarely returns home. It’s likely that she fought with Brother Jing Shen again. Why don’t we just let her stay here tonight instead of returning back to the Yu Garden? Anyway, even if she returns, Brother Jing Shen may not be there…”

“What did you fight about again?” Ji Hongwen glared at Ji Nuan who was behind him. “It’s already been half a year, when will you stop your thoughts of wanting a divorce?”

Ji Nuan eyed Ji Mengran.

Very good, she had just shown up, and she was already attacked.

Even though Ji Mengran had known that the issue about the divorce has always been the cause of all their fights, she still directly brought the topic up.

Shen Heru stood by the table without speaking, but her eyes moved towards Ji Nuan. She knew that Ji Nuan would always make a big fuss about Mo Jingshen so she stayed silent, calmly waiting to watch the show.

“Dad, I wanted to take the opportunity to apologize properly.” Ji Nuan reached out and wrapped her hand around Ji Hongwen’s elbow just as he was about to walk toward the dining table. “I was too stubborn in the past and didn’t realize that you had planned all of the best things for me. I kept bickering with you. I was wrong.”

Ji Hongwen was surprised, immediately eyeing her in suspicion.

She didn’t start a fight?

Ji Nuan actually knew how to apologize?

Ji Mengran and Shen Heru tried their best to cover up the shock in their eyes.

How could this be?

“In the past, I was too stubborn. After marrying Jing Shen, because my heart was dissatisfied, I kept making trouble. But in the end, the human heart is made of flesh. After spending a long time with someone, you can’t help but notice their goodness. Right now, I don’t wish for a divorce, and I’ve decided to live well with Jing Shen from now onward. I definitely won’t let you worry for me anymore.”

As Ji Nuan spoke, she sat down with Ji Hongwen, at the same time turning to look at Ji Mengran. “Actually, I had already shared my thoughts with Meng Ran several days ago, isn’t that right, Meng Ran?”

The focus suddenly turned toward her. Ji Mengran froze for a moment.

Ji Nuan did say these words before…

Ji Mengran had thought that she had only said those words about giving up the divorce because her brain was not working momentarily. She had never even thought of informing her father what had happened.

Suddenly pushed into the spotlight by Ji Nuan, Ji Mengran could not lie even if she wanted to and could only smile. “That day I left in a rush and almost forgot about this. Big Sister did say that to me. She said that she has thought things through and no longer wishes for a divorce.”

Ji Nuan smiled at her, making it seem like there was a deep sibling love between the two of them as they shared a smile of mutual understanding.

However, this smile caused Ji Mengran to feel like her whole body was surrounded in cold water.

“Dad, you should believe me now, right? I really want to be happy with Jing Shen.” Ji Nuan held onto Ji Hongwen’s elbow. Her voice was light and soft, sounding like a little girl whining for attention.

Ever since she grew up, Ji Nuan has never acted this way with him. The soft part of Ji Hongwen’s heart was immediately touched and his anger reduced by a lot. “All right, it’s good that you know Jing Shen is good. After marriage, one needs time to be comfortable. Now that you’ve thought things through, it’s not too late. If the two of you have any conflicts, tell us. Don’t always act so temperamental, and don’t always be so immature, understood?”

“I got it, Dad.” Ji Nuan leaned her head on his shoulder. “I apologize for all the bad things I previously said and did to you when I was being temperamental, so don’t be mad at me anymore, all right?”

“Hmph, it’s no use even if you apologize now. I can let the rest go, but on the issue of the two companies, don’t think that I will let you off so easily.”

“I will explain that to you later.”

Ji Hongwen clearly still did not trust her much on this, waving his hand. “All right, let’s eat first. Ever since you got married, you’ve rarely been back. It’s good that you have finally been enlightened. Initially, I never placed any hopes on you coming back with Jing Shen. But since the two of you have grown close, bring him back with you the next time. Don’t always move about alone, or people will start to speak about your marriage again.”

“That’s right. Nuan Nuan, since you’ve decided to live well with Jing Shen, why didn’t you come back together? Are you just making up words to please your father?” Ji Hongwen had just finished his words and Shen Heru immediately cut in. Her face was bright with a smile, but her eyes were cold.

Ji Hongwen glared at Shen Heru. “None of your business! In the morning I was the one who called her to come back immediately. It was a sudden plan. Jing Shen isn’t an idle person who always has free time, how could he suddenly make time to come back.”

“But I feel that Big Sister and Brother Jing Shen’s relationship cannot be so simple. A few days ago, they were still fighting so fiercely,” Ji Mengran quietly muttered. “Previously, they were clearly fighting to the point of no return. Yet, you are suddenly saying that you don’t want to divorce anymore. Big Sister, could it be that you have some other thoughts that you are purposely hiding from us?”

Ji Mengran’s face was completely innocent as she spoke, seeming as though she was only asking curiously.

Ji Nuan continued to hold onto Ji Hongwen’s elbow, coldly glancing at her. “What other thoughts could I have? I’ve already married Jing Shen for some time. After being together for a period, feelings have grown. We should just be together happily. Marriage is simple, how could there be any complicated thoughts? How could there be so many whys?”

“These words are good. Simple is the best.” Ji Hongwen nodded his head. After Ji Nuan had acted spoiled in front of him for a while, his heart of a father was unused to it, but at the same time, he felt very comforted.

In actuality, before returning, Ji Nuan had considered asking Mo Jingshen if he had time. However, after considering that her father had wanted to ask about Han Tianyuan’s companies, not to mention there were also Ji Mengran and Shen Heru at home, she felt that the return home would definitely cause chaos, and after consideration, she did not mention it to him.

Besides, she did not want to see Ji Mengran interacting too much with Mo Jingshen. It would cause her to feel nauseous.

Ji Mengran tolerated it and did not speak anymore, but quietly glanced at Shen Heru.

If the relationship between Ji Nuan and her father worsened, the one to benefit would definitely be Shen Heru.

Now that Ji Nuan was suddenly so obedient, seeing the ice break between the father and daughter, how could Shen Heru sit still and watch?

“Auntie Shen, don’t you feel like my sister has changed too much?” Ji Mengran spoke carelessly.

At this moment, Shen Heru was indeed suspicious.

Why did Ji Nuan suddenly change? Becoming so obedient and mature?

“Nuan Nuan ah, Auntie Shen hasn’t seen you for a while. Quickly come here and sit with me.” Shen Heru smiled as she pointed at the seat next to her, the one furthest from Ji Hongwen.

Ji Nuan sat at the seat closest to Ji Hongwen without moving, acting as though she did not hear anything as she calmly spoke, “Dad, your health has barely any problems. Don’t eat too much medicine from here on. Those strange medicines sound like supplements but eating anything extra will affect your body’s immunity.”

Hearing this, Ji Hongwen had yet to speak up, but Shen Heru’s hands which were about to pick up the chopsticks staggered.

Chapter 27: After Returning This Time, Nuan Nuan Has Really Changed Quite a Bit
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Nuan turned to glance at her, asking with a fake smile, “Auntie Shen, what’s wrong? You can’t even hold your chopsticks properly? Could it be that you ate too much of the medicine brought back from overseas?”

“What are you saying, Nuan Nuan. My hands accidentally touched the hot bowl of soup and trembled for a moment, that’s all.” Shen Heru placed her chopsticks down, smiling at her calmly. “Nuan Nuan, in the past didn’t you always sit on this side? Auntie Shen especially sat here so that I could chat with you while we eat.”

In her previous life, whenever she ate at the Ji home, she would always sit as far from Ji Hongwen as possible. She caused Ji Hongwen to be upset every time, and he would criticize her to no end at the table. Their father-daughter relationship kept worsening that way.

“Sitting here is quite good, I can chat with my father.” Ji Nuan saw that the helper had brought the white wine Ji Hongwen often drank and immediately reached out to block the bottle.

“Dad, when mom was alive, she often said that your stomach is not good. It’s fine if you have no choice but to drink some when you’re working, but you can’t keep drinking at home!” as Ji Nuan spoke, she turned to the person behind her, “Auntie Qin, bring this wine away. In the future, if my Dad wants to drink during meal time, repeat every line of the words that my mom said to him back then!”

“All right, all right.” Auntie Qin rushed over to take the wine away.

Ji Hongwen wanted to drink the wine, but Ji Nuan, that brat, has never cared so much about him.

He clicked his tongue. “Drinking is my only hobby in my entire life. You are even interfering with this!”

“Aren’t you clear about how your own health is like? With your body, you obviously can live to a hundred. For the sake of a few mouthfuls of wine, you want to reduce several tens of years from your lifetime, would that make you feel good?” Ji Nuan furrowed her brows as she said, “What’s the point of eating body supplements. I think if you don’t drink so much alcohol, everything will be fine!”

“Fine, fine, fine, you child. Either you act completely immature, or the moment you become mature, you can’t stop nagging.” Ji Hongwen helplessly waved his hand, signaling for Auntie Qin who was at the side to bring the wine away.

Shen Heru, who could not get a word in for half a day, suddenly smiled and said, “After returning this time… Nuan Nuan has really changed quite a bit…”

Ji Nuan coolly glanced at her. “Auntie Shen, you’ve already been married to my father for so many years. Not only do you not care about his bad habit of drinking, but the relatives from your Shen family are also always sending wine here. Are you planning not to let go of my father’s stomach?”

“Nuan Nuan, you’ve misunderstood. You should also understand how stubborn your father is. How could I possibly have persuaded him…” Shen Heru maintained her smile but felt a greater apprehension toward Ji Nuan.

Earlier on, Ji Nuan even brought up her birth mother who had already passed away for so long. Although her words did not sound sharp, it was clearly meant to bring trouble for her!

Ji Nuan curved her lips coldly. “Oh, you can’t persuade him to drink less, but you persuade him to take more medicine? I remember that your family is well-versed in medicine. You should know that taking too much medicine is bad for the body.”

Shen Heru could not hold on well to her expression.

This Ji Nuan was really strange!

In the past, even if she did not like her as a stepmother, she never cared much about Ji Hongwen. When she was at home, she would always do her own thing and would never speak to her like this.

“Eat, let’s all eat. Nuan Nuan, don’t start bickering with your Auntie Shen the moment you come back.” Ji Hongwen glanced at the table bereft of wine bottles and held in the thought to ask Auntie Qin to bring it back, quickly moving his chopsticks.

Back when Ji Nuan stayed at the Ji home, whenever the fight began it was always between him and Ji Nuan. Normally, Ji Nuan did not even look at Shen Heru.

Now that Ji Nuan was suddenly against Shen Heru, as the head of the family, Ji Hongwen really could not take the way these women argued with hidden words.

Shen Heru smiled. “That’s right, Nuan Nuan, your words are full of attacks. I find it hard to adjust all of a sudden. Your words are usually straightforward and sudden. I guess I’m used to that.”

“Dad, I’m just nagging for Auntie Shen to care more about your health, how is this bickering? Isn’t it all for your own good?” Ji Nuan glanced at him with a face full of sincerity. “Are you unhappy that I’m worried for you?”

Ji Hongwen’s lips trembled. “All right, the problem is on me. I’ll drink less from now on.”

Seeing that this family’s father and daughter were getting along so well, Shen Heru gripped her fists tightly under the table.

Originally, she had thought to use the opportunity to let Ji Hongwen lecture Ji Nuan for a bit. However, this Ji Nuan was becoming harder to predict. Her words always skipped past the real issue and made Ji Hongwen who rarely put down his ego to become soft with his daughter.

“Old Ji, Nuan Nuan words are right. You really should cherish your own body more. Things like alcohol, try to drink less when you can.” Shen Heru quickly changed her almost angry expression from earlier, suddenly smiling and speaking softly.

Ji Nuan glanced at her without a hint of a smile.

This Shen Heru was also someone who could tolerate. Tolerating for so many years in the Ji family, was it not all for the final goal of fitting all of the Ji family’s money into her own pocket?

When she thought of the hatred in her father’s eyes during his last moments, Ji Nuan raised her foot under the table harshly kicking Shen Heru’s legs.

Wanting to pretend that the issue about the medicine was over? As if she would let her stay so calm!

“Ah!” Shen Heru was defenseless. Her calf bone was in a lot of pain, and she could not help but call out.

“What’s wrong with you? Can’t you eat calmly? At this age, yelling and crying like a ghost at the dinner table!” Ji Hongwen’s expression was ugly as he scolded.

Shen Heru never thought that Ji Nuan would do this to her. She felt wronged as she said, “Earlier on, I think Ji Nuan kicked me under the table. I’m not sure if it was on purpose. It’s because it hurt too much that I…”

“When did I kick you?” Ji Nuan’s expression was innocent. She then looked at Ji Hongwen whose eyes held rage. “Dad, I didn’t.”

“You clearly did! Already twenty-plus-years old and you did such a childish thing! Everyone is sitting here, how could I wrong you?” Regardless of how much Shen Heru could tolerate, her legs were hurting to the point where she couldn’t take it. Ji Nuan clearly did it on purpose, and the area she kicked was the most sensitive area at the calf.

Ji Hongwen glanced down and saw that Ji Nuan’s legs were placed obediently by her chair.

In addition, Ji Nuan was wearing a long skirt that covered her legs. The skirt was long, and there were no signs of wrinkles. The skirt made it such that it could not be seen if she was wearing heels, but it indeed seemed like she did not make any large movements.

“All of you eat quietly. You are all grown adults, don’t act like children,” Ji Hongwen spoke impatiently, glancing unhappily at Shen Heru.

Shen Heru was mad to the point where her face almost twisted. The calm expression that she maintained earlier was immediately used up. She harshly gripped her chopsticks tightly.

Ji Nuan calmly drank the soup that Auntie Qin served her.

Shen Heru, in the previous life you caused my father to die alone in the hospital bed. This debt between us, we will slowly repay it.

Chapter 28: Who Said That Mo Jingshen Was the Only One Who Could Tease Her
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Mengran looked at the scene before her, keeping quiet.

She slowly ate her food, her gaze occasionally landing on Ji Nuan.

It seemed like from now on she had to change her tactics. Brainwashing Ji Nuan for her to stay away from Mo Jingshen and working on plans to help them divorce, would most likely not work anymore.

“Dad, drink more soup. It’s good for the body.” Ji Nuan personally served some soup for Ji Hongwen, placing it in front of him.

Ji Hongwen saw that Ji Nuan had really changed a lot and felt very comforted.

This child was mature right now, could it be that with regards to Han Tianyuan’s two companies, she really did have some proper plans?

During this meal, everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts. After eating, Ji Nuan originally wanted to make a call to the Yu Garden but was immediately called to the study by Ji Hongwen.

“Speak, what are your plans with those two companies? You are my, Ji Hongwen’s daughter. If you become a joke because of this matter, you would be embarrassing me!”

In the noon, before arriving home, Ji Nuan had specially printed two sets of documents.

She removed them from her purse, placing them on the table. “Dad, you cannot predict the development of the property market or technology within the country for the next ten years. Simply focusing on the property market alone, the prices of houses and land have been slowly but steadily increasing over the past three years, and this increment will not simply stop here.”

“Right now, several property prices are dropping rapidly, aren’t they? Many experts have predicted that jobs in the property market will soon disappear! The more you invest, the more you will lose!”

“Don’t believe in those so-called experts. Look at the evidence I’ve found for you first. It’s not too late to make a judgment after reading it.”

Ji Hongwen glanced at the stack of documents and then eyed her. “You’ve really done quite some preparation.”

“This is the first time your daughter is entering the business world. Of course, full preparation and planning have to be done. I have to do it, and I will do it. I promise I definitely won’t embarrass you!”

Ji Hongwen looked through it for a while before saying happily, “All right, you have the boldness that your father had back when I just started. However, how can you be sure that the direction of the economy in the next ten years would go as you predicted? What if you planned wrongly? Have you thought of the consequences…”

Ji Nuan lowered her eyes and smiled.

The changes that the world would experience in the next ten years, including in the business world, were all in her mind. Since her finances and various relationships were stable at the moment, the first thing she had to do was, of course, to take advantage of the stable and profitable property business to come.

Originally, she could not find much opportunity to do it. That day when she saw Han Tianyuan, she suddenly remembered that two of his companies were about to be sold.

She could make him eat a loss and at the same time push for the gain she wanted. It could be considered killing two birds with one stone.

Given that she dared to stand here right now, she naturally had the ability to convince her father.

—-

After two hours.

Walking out of the study, Ji Nuan glanced at the time, “Dad, it’s not early anymore. I’ll return home now.”

Ji Hongwen had already seen through her documents and heard an overview of her plans. After that, he did not state his thoughts, but he no longer disapproved of her plans.

It could be seen that his heart had already wavered.

“Don’t leave now, just sleep here tonight,” Ji Hongwen spoke from inside the study. “You’ve just recovered from a cold. At night, the temperature is colder, and the wind is also strong. I’ll have Jing Shen come pick you up tomorrow.”

After speaking, he immediately gave Mo Jingshen a call.

Ji Nuan was about to speak up but had to swallow down her words. Since her father said so, if she did not let Mo Jingshen come pick her up, he would most likely overthink and suspect that she was lying when she said that she planned to live happily with him.

After a few minutes, Ji Hongwen walked out of the room. “I’ve already spoken to Jing Shen. You will stay at the Ji home tonight. He will pick you up tomorrow morning.”

“He’ll come in the morning?”

“Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking about, you’re worried about delaying his work, aren’t you? You brat, your feelings for him have just improved, and your loyalty has already shifted out of the house!”

Ji Nuan pouted, was her current thoughts so obvious?

“Have you been living your days in a blur? It’s the weekend tomorrow! I think your heart has long flown back to the Yu Garden. What on earth did Mo Jingshen do to grab hold of your heart so well all of a sudden?”

Ji Nuan face burned slightly. “Dad…”

Seeing her face turn red, the big worry in Ji Hongwen’s heart could finally be placed down. She was truly sincere this time.

Right now, his heart could be considered to be filled with comfort.

If she were to stir up so much fuss that the son-in-law that he favored the most was lost and they really got a divorce, they would really be tossing their luck away to some other family’s lady. Just thinking about it caused his heart to hurt.

“The issue about Han Tianyuan’s two companies, I can give you an opportunity to test the water, but I have a condition.”

“What condition?”

“If within half a year you are unable to earn the very amount that was invested into the company, then you have to go back to studying finance management obediently!”

The meaning of his words was that if Ji Nuan could not rely on her own abilities to earn the money back, she could only obediently stay within the family’s company. He would not give her an opportunity to start her own business.

Ji Hongwen’s personality has always been stubborn. That he was willing to give in this time was already considered a rather big feat on her part.

Ji Nuan was silent for a moment before nodding. “All right.”

——

At night, Ji Nuan was in her room. She laid on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Half a year, thirty-million yuan. To earn everything back was not as easy as it sounded.

In her previous life, ten years ago, which was today, the local property market did have a period of stagnancy and even dropped for a moment, although not by a lot. It was in the next few years that it would rise rapidly. However, right now, she was stuck in the period where the business rates were still rather low.

Considering that, the time limit of half a year was an extremely big test for her.

She really could not sleep. Ji Nuan turned back to glance at the time.

It was already past nine o’clock. Was Mo Jingshen at the Yu Garden or was he still at the company?

After her rebirth, she had not separated from him for even a single night…

Ji Nuan tossed and turned for a little while before leaning down in a kneeling position. She picked up her phone, intending to give him a call.

However, her fingers paused for several seconds at the screen. The Mo Corporation had several partnerships overseas. At night, he would often have conference calls at this time with his international partners. If her call arrived while he was busy, would that be bad?

After thinking for a while, Ji Nuan decided to send a message. After all, Mo Jingshen seemed to rarely check his messages.

Whatever, who cared if he would read it or not. After all, she could not fall asleep. Sending a message would help her settle her thoughts.

Her fingers poked at the screen for half a day: [My precious hubby, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I really, really, really miss you…]

The words “precious hubby” was typed in after she thought for a long time. While typing it, she was smiling with a red face.

After sending it, Ji Nuan could not control her joy. She turned to lay back on the bed, and then glanced at the message she had sent before bursting into giggles.

Who said that Mo Jingshen was the only one who could tease her, she clearly could tease him too…

After sending the message out for several minutes, Ji Nuan got up to shower.

All of a sudden, the phone that was placed on the bed rang. She turned back, her heart in shock.

Mo Jingshen had actually directly called her—

Chapter 29: Send the Charming One Out, and the Mortal World Is Covered with Smoke and Fire
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Nuan rushed back to her bedside, picking up the phone to answer the call.

“Can’t sleep?” Mo Jingshen’s voice came from the phone. Under the beautiful night sky, for some reason, his voice caused her heart to ripple.

The moment Ji Nuan heard his voice, her whole body softened as she laid back down on the bed. She hugged a pillow. “You saw my message?”

“En.”

“It’s already so late. Have you returned back to the Yu Garden?”

“No. There was an unforeseen issue with the overseas partnership. Just ended a meeting.” Mo Jingshen’s voice was low.

“Then you should go rest early. Now that I’m not home, you’re going to start burning the midnight oil again, aren’t you?” Ji Nuan could not resist nagging, “I should just stick by your side every day. The moment it’s night, I can strip you and press you onto the bed so that you can’t go anywhere. Don’t even talk about work, you won’t even be allowed to enter the study!”

It was silent on the phone for a moment. After that, a low, warm chuckle was heard. “When do you plan to strip me?”

“I’m speaking seriously! It’s for you to sleep early!”

Mo Jingshen smiled. “But I look forward more to you personally taking off my clothes before sleeping.”

“…”

Ji Nuan buried her face into her pillow, listening to the sound of movement through the phone. She silently sighed. She was clearly the one who had taken the initiative to tease him. Why did it seem like he was the one who had ended up teasing her instead?

He seemed to have exited the company. She could vaguely hear his movements. He was most likely at the company’s underground parking lot.

Ji Nuan could not bear to hang up the phone but also did not wish to disturb his driving. She laid on her stomach, squinting her eyes as she spoke, “Put on your headphones before you drive. You don’t have to chat with me. When you drive at night, you have to focus on safety.”

“Sleepy?” he asked.

“No, I can’t sleep. Maybe it’s because it’s been too long since I came back to the Ji home.” Ji Nuan lazily laid on the bed as she spoke, “It’s so strange. Even though there’s not much difference between the bed here and Yu Garden’s bed, but when I lie here, I just can’t sleep.”

“It’s most likely because the bed is lacking me.”

Ji Nuan curved her eyes in a smile, reaching out to pull the big white stuffed bear she always used to hug into her arms. She was silent for a moment.

After not speaking for so long, she did not know if he was already arriving back at the Yu Garden, but the two of them did not hang up.

She lazily said, “Uu, it seems like I can only let Mr. Bear hold me to sleep tonight~.”

Mo Jingshen directly asked, “What Mr. Bear?”

“It’s… aside from you who is my legal husband, the only one who has the right to climb onto my bed… Mr. Bear.” Ji Nuan pinched the bear in her arms as she spoke before looking at the time once more. She smiled. “All right, focus on driving. I won’t disturb you anymore. See you tomorrow.”

After speaking, Ji Nuan was about to hang up.

However, because she really could not bear to, she thought she would wait for him to hang up instead and pressed the phone back to her ear.

Yet, after half a day, Mo Jingshen still did not hang up.

Could it be that he was waiting for her to hang up first?

Ji Nuan smiled. Just as she was about to move the phone away, she suddenly heard Mo Jingshen’s low voice, “Come out, open the door.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“!!!”

Ji Nuan took half a day before clambering off the bed, rushing towards the window to look out.

Seeing white headlights flash by the Ji family home’s metal gates, she could guess that the vague shape of a car in the dark was Mo Jingshen’s car.

Ji Nuan was shocked. “That car is… Is it you? You-you came?”

“Mrs. Mo, my clothes are already prepared. Whenever you wish to take them off, you are welcome.”

Mo Jingshen’s voice held some humor with intentions she could not guess. Before Ji Nuan came back to herself, the call was disconnected.

Ji Nuan was in a daze.

So, Mo Jingshen really came?

The Mo Corporation was not close to the Ji family home, how did he arrive so quickly?

He-he-he-he actually came directly tonight?

—-

At the front porch of the Ji home, the moment the helpers and housekeepers saw that it was Mo Jingshen’s car, they all rushed forward to open the door and welcome him.

Right now, everyone at home had yet to sleep. Hearing of his arrival, Ji Hongwen directly went downstairs. Even Shen Heru and Ji Mengran were shocked when they heard of Mo Jingshen’s arrival.

Ji Nuan was the only who was in a daze for a long time as she stared at the phone screen that had already turned dark. Once she came back to herself, she turned and ran out.

“Brother Jing Shen!” Ji Mengran had just showered. She wore a thin pink spaghetti strapped sleeping dress as she went to welcome him. “Why didn’t you say anything before coming?”

After entering through the door, Ji Mengran directly stood in front of him, blocking his view of everything else.

Mo Jingshen coldly glanced at her and did not pay her much attention. He turned to look at Ji Hongwen who was walking over, speaking politely, “Dad.”

“Why did you come at such a time.” Ji Hongwen clearly did not expect that Mo Jingshen would come. “Did you not return to the Yu Garden? You came here directly from work?”

Mo Jingshen directly walked in. His gaze calm. “The company isn’t far from here. Since Ji Nuan is here, I directly came here.”

“Ah, Nuan Nuan only came back to the Ji home for one night, but CEO Mo already misses her?” Shen Heru cut in with a strange tone of voice.

She really could not understand how Ji Nuan, that brat, managed to have so much luck. Not only did she manage to smoothly marry someone like Mo Jingshen, she even managed to have him care so much about her. After demanding for a divorce for half a year, she still remained as Mrs. Mo.

The moment Ji Nuan came downstairs, she heard Shen Heru’s unkind tone. This woman really wore a mask when speaking to her, and then placed on a different one when she was not around.

“Since you’ve come, then rest here. Auntie Qin, call Ji Nuan down.” Ji Hongwen’s mood was rather good. Both his daughter and son-in-law were here, this was truly rare.

Auntie Qin nodded her head, but the moment she turned around, she saw that Ji Nuan had already come down.

“Eldest Miss, Mr. Mo is here.” Auntie Qin looked at her happily with a smile.

“I know~ We were just on the phone just now~.”

Ji Nuan did not conceal anything with her words. The moment she came downstairs, she directly walked over. The first thing she saw was Mo Jingshen who wore a fitted suit along with a black windbreaker.

This man… How could he be so good looking…

A simple windbreaker could also be worn so beautifully.

She did not even have the time to meet eyes with him when she heard Ji Mengran’s voice forcefully cutting in, “Brother Jing Shen, it must be very cold outside today, isn’t it? We’ve already entered autumn for many days. My sister didn’t pass her cold to you when she fell sick, did she? Don’t just focus on your work, you have to take care of yourself as well!”

Mo Jingshen coldly made an “En” sound. From start to finish, his gaze never landed on Ji Mengran. Instead, it looked past Ji Mengran who was blocking his view, focused on Ji Nuan who was walking over.

His appearance was handsome and perfect. He stood there, calmly looking at her. All of his focus was placed on her alone.

After entering through the door, everyone could see Mo Jingshen’s distant and cold attitude. It was only when he saw Ji Nuan that everyone understood the meaning of ‘send the charming one out, and the mortal world is covered with smoke and fire.’

Chapter 30: Mo Jingshen Directly Placed Her on His Lap
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Why did you come so suddenly? You really shocked me!” Ji Nuan walked up, going around Ji Mengran to stick close to his side.

Mo Jingshen smoothly held her hand and then lowered his eyes to look at her. “Why are your hands so cold?”

“En, it’s a little cold tonight. Earlier in my room, I forgot to turn on the heater. Just nice, since you’re here, you can help me warm up my hands,” Ji Nuan said with a smile, transforming into a spoiled little wife in a split second.

“Brother Jing Shen, tonight will you…” Ji Mengran remained a little excited over Mo Jingshen’s visit. Regardless of how they ignored her, she still wanted to speak to him.

Ji Hongwen suddenly coughed, clearing his throat. His face was unhappy. “Meng Ran, look at what you’re wearing! Jing Shen is your brother-in-law! How can you come down wearing so little?!”

It was only then that everyone noticed the sleep dress that Ji Mengran was wearing. It was almost like a sexy type of lingerie.

It was thin and short, revealing a significant portion of her shoulders and collarbone. Even her chest was somewhat exposed.

The skirt could only cover barely half of her thigh. It could not get any shorter.

His attention was all focused on Mo Jingshen earlier. After seeing what she wore, Ji Hongwen’s face became as black at the bottom of a pan.

“Dad, earlier on I was preparing to sleep. When I heard that Brother Jing Shen had come, I just ran out…”

Ji Mengran was explaining when a thin coat suddenly landed on her head.

She tugged down the clothing on her head, turning around to look at Ji Nuan, only to discover that it was the coat she had worn coming down.

“Wear it. You might not be afraid of the cold, but all of us feel cold watching you.” Ji Nuan’s voice was calm.

“Thank you, Big Sister…”

Ji Mengran suddenly could not think of anything else to say. She secretly glanced at Mo Jingshen, but his gaze never once landed on herself. Not even mentioning her legs, he did not even look at her shoulders.

“Aiya, it’s so cold.” Ji Nuan suddenly trembled. “I didn’t think it would be so cold after taking off my coat. Dad, it’s not early anymore. You guys should go to sleep soon. Jing Shen and I will return to my room now!”

“Brother-in-law has only just showed up, and Big Sister is already dragging him back to the room?” Ji Mengran mumbled.

Ji Hongwen glared at Ji Mengran. “You have so much to say? Hurry back to your room and put on more clothes!”

Seeing that everyone was standing there, Auntie Qin spoke up, “Why don’t I go to the kitchen and make some supper. The weather now is rather cold. It’s good to eat something warm before sleeping.”

“Yes, yes, yes, Auntie Qin hurry up and go cook…” Ji Mengran turned back, raising her hand in approval.

“You guys go ahead. I’ve eaten too much tonight, and I’m not hungry. Jing Shen has also been busy at the company all day. It’s already so late, we won’t eat with you ~.” Ji Nuan calmly held onto Mo Jingshen’s hand, directly preventing Ji Mengran from having any opportunity to approach.

“All right, all of you go back to your room to rest. Auntie Qin, there’s no need to cook,” Ji Hongwen sternly said.

Hearing this, Auntie Qin immediately paused her steps toward the kitchen.

It was so rare for Ji Mengran to see Mo Jingshen. She wanted to find an opportunity to speak to him.

However, she could not even sit down with him for supper, how could she have the opportunity to speak to him alone properly?

Ji Nuan’s gaze seemed to hold no concern as she glanced at Ji Mengran.

She ran down dressed this way. Based on her father’s traditional character, how could he not get angry.

My dear good sister, you are truly too short-sighted .

Your intentions will be easily revealed this way.

Ji Mengran unhappily glanced back, only to see that Ji Nuan was softly speaking to Mo Jingshen. In front of their family, the two of them actually whispered into each other’s ears. They truly did not know how to be embarrassed.

Typically, Mo Jingshen seemed so aloof. That he would give in so much to Ji Nuan truly made Ji Mengran angrier the more she looked at them.

However, right now, she could not say anything nor could she do anything.

In the past, the moment Ji Nuan came home, she would argue with their father. He would then often take her as an obedient example to compare to Ji Nuan’s immature acts. After that, Ji Nuan would be so mad that she would leave slamming the door. She would not give any face to the Ji family, and their father would always be mad to the point where he wanted to throw her out of the family altogether.

However, right now, could it be due to changes in Feng Shui?

Ji Nuan had become a considerate, warm cotton jacket while she had only come downstairs in a sleeping gown and was lectured in front of so many people.

Exactly which capable person did Ji Nuan receive advice from?

Everyone could clearly see that Ji Nuan was arrogant and proud, yet no one hated her.

Shen Heru saw that Ji Nuan and Mo Jingshen had already gone upstairs and quietly spoke at the side, “Nuan Nuan, this child, she’s still so immature. Jing Shen came in the middle of the night, at the very least, he has to speak to the elders a little to have a conversation as a proper family. She still hasn’t grown up. This caused even Jing Shen to seem disrespectful of the elders.”

“Auntie Shen is right. Dad, earlier my words were to say that Big Sister has gone too far,” Ji Mengran mumbled softly.

Ji Hongwen sternly glared at them. “Still talking? Don’t you see what time it is? Are there words that must be said when it’s so late?”

Seeing that he was angry, Shen Heru immediately softened her attitude and did not speak anymore.

Ji Nuan, that little wench, was becoming harder and harder to deal with. Seeing that Ji Hongwen was so protective towards her, she would speak less just in case.

“Dad…”

“Shut up! Return to your room!” Ji Hongwen turned back, glaring even more sternly at Ji Mengran.

Ji Mengran immediately retracted her expression. After being shouted at by her father, she was fearful and did not dare to speak any further. She felt slightly wronged and glanced back upstairs for a while. She bit onto her lips unhappily before stomping back to her own room.

—-

The room door opened and close. Inside the bedroom, the light was warm and gentle.

“Why did you suddenly come? You didn’t even mention it earlier.”

Ji Nuan turned back and immediately glared at the instigator who caused several people in the family to explode in stupidity.

“Didn’t you say that you missed me?” Mo Jingshen lowered his head the moment she turned back. Ji Nuan was slightly dazed, staring at the approaching clear and handsome face.

There was less than half a centimeter of distance between them. This sudden closeness caused his breath to land on her face. Her heartbeat immediately sped up.

She was conscious of the fact that they were at the Ji family home. Even if the door was closed, Ji Nuan still instinctually raised her hand, wanting to push him aside.

In the end, not only did she not push him away, her elbow was held by him, and she was brought to the bedside.

Mo Jingshen directly tugged her onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist and locking her in his embrace, “Earlier on in the phone, you mentioned wanting to strip my clothes. Now that I’m standing in front of you, what’s wrong, you can’t even raise your head?”

Ji Nuan pushed against his elbow. The bravery she had earlier when she teased him escaped to god-knows-where. After pushing for a long time, he still would not move. She helplessly slapped his elbow, turning to look at him unhappily. “Who asked you to come so suddenly? I couldn’t prepare my heart at all.”

He lowly chuckled by her ear. “Are you sure you don’t welcome me? Then shall I leave right now and let you hold Mr. Bear until daylight?”

At the same time, Mo Jingshen’s gaze met with the big white bear that was placed slanted on the bed, his lips curving up in a smile.
