After hearing Ji Nuan’s words of approval, Mo Jingshen approached her, his gaze landing on the other lunch box next to her.
Ji Nuan pointed at it with her chopsticks. “Earlier, I had Shen Mu send another portion up for you to have after your meeting. I didn’t expect it would end so quickly, but that’s good. If you have it now, it’ll still be warm. But be careful, it slightly hot.”
Mo Jingshen looked at Ji Nuan. Although she was only eating a simple, employee’s meal, she appeared very content.
“Is it really that good?” He asked, chuckling softly.
Ji Nuan nodded seriously. “En, en, it’s no wonder so many people are wrecking their minds to get into the Mo Corporation. Even the quality of the employees’ meals is so good. Just from this alone, you can tell the treatment of employees’ must be outstanding in every area!”
While chewing, she raised her head to look at him.
The man was dressed in a black suit; he had lost the slightly disheveled and gloomy appearance from yesterday, looking eye-catching and attractive as he stood in the bright office.
Mo Jingshen picked up the lunch box and sat down by her side. He took another glance at the way she was eating and smiled. Quietly, he sat and ate with her.
The office door was tightly shut. Otherwise, had anyone caught an eye of this scene, their jaw would surely have dropped.
Mo Corporation’s CEO had set aside a project worth several hundred billion US dollars to accompany his wife for a simple employee’s lunch. He sat lazily on the office couch and even occasionally picked the small fried meat she liked to place them in her lunch box. As he did so, he said, “If you enjoy it so much, have Shen Mu send another portion up for you.”
“There’s no need, this is enough. If I eat any more, I’ll definitely grow fat.”
“I’ll still want you even if you’re fat. What are you afraid of?”
“No, no, I’m already full. My stomach is about to explode…”
“You don’t want any more stir-fry potato?”
“… uh, I’ll have a few more bites.”
“Do you want the grilled vegetarian tofu?”
“…”
After their meal, the office phone rang. A secretary informed him that a representative was waiting to discuss a collaboration deal with CEO Mo.
To avoid disturbing his work, Ji Nuan stood up and entered the breakroom.
She had just taken one step in when she heard Mo Jingshen speaking from outside. “You were caught in the rain last night. Take a warm shower before you sleep. I’ll go wake you up after I’m done with work.”
Ji Nuan raised her hand and made a gesture of ‘OK’ before entering.
Previously, for the sake of coaxing him back to the Yu Garden, she had visited his breakroom once.
After this period of time, Ji Nuan finally noticed that this break room had the same, simple and cool-toned design as Ao Lan International.
Grandfather Mo had a hand in the Yu Garden design, whereas from Ao Lan International and this breakroom, she could clearly see Mo Jingshen’s style.
Simple, subdued, and mild.
Because this was a place Mo Jingshen frequently used in the past, for some inexplicable reason, the slightly cool colors stirred up feelings of intimacy and warmth in Ji Nuan.
After being drenched in the rain last night, she managed to take a simple shower in the hotel bathroom. Right now, both her head and body were slightly itchy. As it didn’t feel right to sleep like this, she opened Mo Jingshen’s closet intending to borrow and wear one of his shirts.
Yet, upon opening the closet, she was startled to discover that half of the space originally belonging to Mo Jingshen was now taken up by women’s clothing.
They were all brand new! Thin ones, thick ones; long ones, short ones; innerwear and outerwear; all women’s clothing!
Ji Nuan took a pair out in disbelief and discovered that it was in her size. She then flipped through several others and found that they were all in her size.
She searched for something thin and suitable for sleeping in. Holding it in her arms, she considered that Mo Jingshen was busy in his office and picked up her phone to ask him indirectly through message.
[When did you fill the closet with so many clothes for me? I was really startled when I opened it.]
After a minute, she saw he did not reply and suspected he was still busy, so she left to take a shower.
After showering and drying her hair, she walked out in the clothes Mo Jingshen had prepared for her. Carrying the fragrant scent of the shower gel, Ji Nuan threw herself on the giant bed in the breakroom.
She picked up her phone and saw the reply Mo Jingshen had left her several minutes ago.
[The day after you wore my shirt.]
Ji Nuan stared in surprise at her phone screen.
She confirmed that he wrote ‘the day after.’
The day after?
His actions were so fast?
Back then, he did not even intend to move back to the main bedroom. Although they were getting along better, they were not too intimate. Then, he had already made plans in case she decided to stay in his breakroom?
Exactly how scheming was this man?
Ji Nuan really wanted to reply to him but was worried about disturbing his work, especially because he seemed to have a lot to rush through for the afternoon. She resisted the urge and placed her phone down.
After turning around to lay flat on the bed, her gaze occasionally shifted to the closet. Her hands were intertwined and placed on her chest, and as she twiddled her thumbs mindlessly, she flew into the clouds. Strangely, she felt as though everything that was happening was unreal.
She then picked up the phone placed by her pillow once more, looking at the reply he had sent her.
After staring at it for a long while, she would suddenly smile, place her phone down, and bury her head in the pillow to secretly giggle.
What do I do?
Great Boss Mo’s ability to tease her was becoming harder and harder to keep in check. Just a few clothing and a message were sufficient to stir her emotions.
Ji Nuan turned again on the bed. She felt that it was possible she would not be able to sleep, but after going through such trauma last night, her mind was uncomfortably unsettled. She decided to shut her eyes tightly to count sheep, forcing herself to sleep.
One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep…
… ninety-eight Mo Jingshens, ninety-nine Mo Jingshens, one hundred Mo Jingshens, one hundred and one Mo Jingshens…
Ji Nuan abruptly grabbed a pillow and pressed it down on her head forcefully.
She was done for; she couldn’t sleep!
The man outside was still focused on his work, but her teenage heart was moved to the point of insomnia.
Ahhhhhhh…

Inside the Mo Corporation’s staff office, a spirited discussion was unfolding.
“I heard that Assistant Shen sent two sets of employee’s meals to the CEO’s office today! You guess, who were those for?”
“It can’t be Mrs. Mo, can it? I heard that Mrs. Mo used to be the famous eldest young miss from the Ji family. Since young, she’s had all the exotic delicacies she could possibly want. Everything she’s had was all high-quality. Regardless of how simply she ate, they must still have been handmade by helpers or chefs with impressive cooking skills. There’s no way she would be willing to eat an employee’s meal!”
“You can’t say that for sure. Our company’s employee’s meal is clean and delicious. Even CEO Mo eats them occasionally when he is busy. Mrs. Mo is also human. It isn’t that strange for her to be eating it with CEO Mo in his office…”
“No way, she definitely won’t eat…”
“Do you want to make a bet…”
All of a sudden, Shen Mu stood in front of the office door and coughed, clearing his throat. He sternly said, “What is everyone foolishly discussing here? Is all the work in your hands completed? Do you have too much free time?”
In an instant, the employees scattered, dashing away speedily—
