Mo Jingshen watched her for a moment. After the long journey on the plane and on the road, the light make-up she had wearing had mostly faded. By now, her pale complexion was rather apparent.
Considering that her period was approaching, it was true that she needed to rest early.
“You wish to stand up?”
Ji Nuan: “…”
She glared at the man, but the man did not speak.
She narrowed her eyes and subconsciously used a warning tone. “Mo Jingshen, let me tell you, if my body condition worsens and affects your work schedule here, don’t blame me for dragging you down. If I continue sitting here, I’ll only end up feeling worse! If I can’t get up tomorrow…”
Seeing that she was angered to the point of bringing up words that were of no threat to him, his tone seemed to contain a smile. “Kiss me and I’ll help you up.”
Ji Nuan glared at him. “Mo Jingshen, you’re really the model example of a despicable and shameless man! When you take advantage of someone, you have to consider if the situation is appropriate first!”
“So you found out, ah.” The man chuckled. “Indeed. I’m taking advantage of you.”
“As expected, I wasn’t wrong in calling you a ‘beast’ dressed in human clothes.”
Ji Nuan unhappily tried to push him away, but just as her forehead creased in displeasure, the man took the opportunity and pressed a gentle kiss against her cheek. He then carried her up and placed her on the bed.
Ji Nuan, who only wanted to stand up but was abruptly lifted onto the bed: “…”
“You rest well. If you’re hungry, give a call to room service and have them deliver some food. Remember to wake up on time tomorrow. Don’t sleep in.”
Ji Nuan: “…”
“Since your stomach is feeling unwell, remember not to bathe in cold water, en?” Seeing that she was unresponsive, the man dragged out his last few words as his tone became heavier. Despite this, there was still a taste of indescribable doting in his voice.

The great Boss Mo was finally sent away. Ji Nuan glanced at the door that had been shut and finally relaxed. She spread her arms and leaned backward on the bed.
The journey from the plane to the car was extremely exhausting. She wanted to take a short nap before dinner and did not move from the bed.
A moment later, the man’s warm and mild words seemed to echoed in her ears: “Return to being Mrs. Mo.”
Ji Nuan turned over and brought a pillow up to cover her face

The next day, her great-aunt arrived on time. The pain in her abdomen caused her body to tensely tighten.
Ji Nuan curled up in bed for a long while before finally getting up. When she saw that it was 7:30 a.m., she clambered off the bed to wash up.
After all, she came to Jing City to work and not for vacation.
The moment she got off the bed and put on the pair of soft, white slippers, her phone rang. She brought it up to see that it was a call from an unknown number, and answered suspiciously. As the call connected, she heard Xiao Hu’s voice. “CEO Ji, did I disturb your rest?”
Ji Nuan rubbed her abdomen while answering softly, “No, I’m already up. Give me ten minutes. I’ll head down immediately.”
She headed into the bathroom as she spoke.
“CEO Ji, it’s all right. CEO Mo and I have already left the hotel. As the schedule is quite busy today, I will represent MN Group to sign your attendance. Are you unwell today? Please rest in the hotel first and leave everything to me.”
Ji Nuan faltered in her steps. “You’ve already set off?”
“Yes. I originally arranged for the hotel staff to wake you up, but CEO Mo asked me to cancel it. He said that you’re feeling unwell, and to let you rest in the hotel room for a day. Coincidentally, there are only some brief procedures to be completed at today’s meeting. There won’t be anyone important attending, nor is there a need for you to personally show up. I’ll sign your attendance for you and that will do. There won’t be any problems. CEO Ji, you can set your mind at ease.”
Ji Nuan knew that it was unsuitable for her to take a business trip during her period. It was always hard to predict if her great-aunt’s visit would be difficult. When her symptoms were lighter, the pain wouldn’t be too severe. However, occasionally, when she worked overtime too frequently, the imbalance of hormones she experienced would cause agonizing pain.
Her vulnerability against the cold had reduced significantly, but her monthly period was still an excruciating experience to bear.
When she stayed in London, she would always rest in the company during this time of the month. She rarely took any trips outside. Prior to coming to Jing City, she had already made mental preparation to endure through various discomforts. Unexpectedly, she still became the one who was taken care of.
“All right. If there’s any important matters I have to attend to, please let me know. I’ll prepare for it. Let’s not disrupt the schedule any further,” Ji Nuan answered softly.
“All right. I’ll be in contact with you if need be.” After answering, Xiao Hu ended the call. He turned to Mo Jingshen, who sat in the backseat. “CEO Ji’s voice sounds rather weak. It seems like she’s really feeling unwell. Should I call a doctor over to give her an examination?”
There were barely any emotions visible on Mo Jingshen’s handsome complexion. He did not reply. Finally, when Xiao Hu turned back to chat idly with the chauffeur, the man picked up his phone. He was about to give Qin Siting a call when he recalled Ji Nuan’s previous words. His thumb paused against the screen for a moment before scrolling past Qin Siting’s number and choosing a different doctor he was familiar with.
In the next few minutes, Xiao Hu felt that all of his previous knowledge of CEO Mo had been completely destroyed.
He actually heard CEO Mo, who typically wouldn’t have a single, unnecessary woman by his side, composedly questioned if there were any effective remedies aside from brown sugar water that could ease a woman’s menstrual pain.
After listening for awhie, Xiao Hu felt guilty and decided to pretend as though he couldn’t hear anything.
In the afternoon, as they were heading back to the hotel, Mo Jingshen made them stop the car by the road. Xiao Hu watched as his family’s boss alighted from the car and entered a large pharmacy.
When Mo Jingshen returned to the car, Xiao Hu knew without looking that the bag in his hand was filled with things for CEO Ji.
Was spring finally arriving for CEO Mo? Was he chasing after CEO Ji?
It shouldn’t be, ah. Usually, there were so many women who held secret affections for CEO Mo. Within the Hai City entertainment circle and upper society, there were countless women who wished to hold onto his big thigh, yet he never once offered anyone a single glance. His attitude toward them could be described as heartless, unmoved, and cold. It was clear that beautiful women could not conquer this charming man. He was completely uninterested in them.
Although he wasn’t clear how CEO Mo would treat the woman he liked, seeing how he usually worked with the might of a thunder and the speed of lightning, Xiao Hu felt that he would be equally dominated and firm toward the woman he liked.
Who would have thought that an ice mountain like CEO Mo would show such a patient side to a woman.
Xiao Hu thought, it seemed in the future, there was the need to serve this CEO Ji as though she was the great Buddha. He had to be careful not to offend her.
