章節 4: Clearly, Still Angry
編輯: 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 Jingshen 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.
章節 5: Mrs. Mo, You Are Playing with Fire
編輯: 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 Mengran 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.
