Barely able to open her eyes, Ji Nuan set the alarm on her phone to wake up in 45 minutes and decided to sleep on the sofa for a while.
She fell asleep and felt so comfortable that the position she had been leaning on the back of the sofa gradually changed to that of lying on the sofa with her arms curled up under her head.

When she was picked up by the waist, she just unconsciously frowned, rubbed her face against the arms of the other side, and continued to sleep.
Mo Jingshen looked down at the woman in his arms who rubbed her face against his chest as always, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. As he carried her out of the room, there were employees of Shine passing in the hallway, but they all walked forward as if they had not seen it. No one dared to throw a glance at CEO Mo and the woman in his arms. They didn’t dare to talk about it until CEO Mo was far away, and after, they still didn’t dare to talk loudly.
When they reached the top floor, the woman was still asleep, and Mo Jingshen carried her to his office.
When he pushed the door open, Ji Nuan, who was in his arms, finally felt something was wrong. She wanted to turn over but couldn’t. She didn’t open her eyes, but her eyelashes trembled. With her eyes still closed, her body stiffened.
Mo Jingshen carried the awake woman straight in. Feeling her body growing stiffer and stiffer, he said coldly and lowly, “Keep sleeping.”
He put her on the sofa, but Ji Nuan remained in the same position, lying motionless with her eyes closed.
Seeing her lying up straight, Mo Jingshen couldn’t help laughing. He adjusted the air-conditioner to a suitable temperature, took off his suit jacket and put it over her.
One minute, two minutes…
Ten minutes, half an hour…
Ji Nuan just lay motionless on the sofa, and during the long hours, she could hear the footsteps of men walking to the desk and the rustle of papers as he worked.
It was so quiet. He knew she was pretending to be asleep, but he didn’t expose her.
When the break time was over, his secretary came to knock at the door. When he came in, he saw Ji Nuan sleeping on the sofa and covered with CEO Mo’s clothes, but he didn’t dare to ask anything nor even glanced at her. He said as if there was only Mo Jingshen in this office, “CEO Mo, the people are already waiting for you in the meeting room.”
Ji Nuan didn’t hear Mo Jingshen speak but only heard him pass by the sofa and then walk out of the office, and his footsteps were farther away.
Making sure he had left, she slowly opened her eyes and got up. She sat still for less than a minute, looking at the office, which was totally different from three years ago, and calmly got up to leave.
The secretary went back to his office. Seeing Ji Nuan come out, he thought what CEO Mo told him just now and hurried to catch up with her. “CEO Ji, are you going to the meeting? CEO Mo said you could take a rest and didn’t need to attend the meeting again.”
“I’m going back to my office.” Without looking at the secretary, Ji Nuan walked straight to the elevator.
“But CEO Mo is still in the meeting. Shouldn’t you let him know that you’re going back to your company? Otherwise…”
Ji Nuan stopped at the elevator and pressed the button. “I have nothing to do with your CEO Mo, so I don’t need to let him know that I’m leaving. Of course, out of politeness, you can say goodbye for me after he finishes the meeting.”
“But… CEO Ji…?”
Before the secretary finished, the door of the elevator had been opened, and Ji Nuan walked in without looking back.
Before the elevator’s door was closed, Ji Nuan took a look at the secretary and said, “Please send the minutes of the latter half of the meeting to my assistant’s email box tomorrow. Thank you.”
As soon as she finished, the elevator’s door was shut.

Two hours later, the meeting was over.
The secretary had been early waiting outside the meeting room. Seeing Mo Jingshen come out, he hurried up to meet him.
Mo Jingshen cast a cold glance at the secretary. “Has she left?”
The secretary nodded. “As soon as you left the office, CEO Ji came out.”
This new secretary had just begun to work in Shine. Although he knew CEO Mo’s working habit well, he didn’t know much about his private life and love life, so he didn’t know how to tell him. He hesitated and said truthfully, “CEO Ji said nothing before leaving but just asked me to send her the minutes of the latter half of the meeting.”
Hearing this, Mo Jingshen didn’t say anything.
The secretary hesitated and didn’t know whether he should speak out but thinking that CEO Ji was covered with CEO Mo’s coat when she was lying in CEO Mo’s office, and what he had seen after following Ji Nuan downstairs, he felt a bit indignant.
The secretary said hesitantly, “And, when CEO Ji left, I saw the car picking her up was not an MN Group’s car, but the car of Mr. Vinse, General Manager of the BGY Group, and the one who came to pick her was also Mr. Vinse…”
Mo Jingshen, who was about to walk forward, suddenly stopped and took a dark look at the secretary, who felt as if he had suddenly been shot through by an ice arrow. He gaped in fear and wondered if he had said anything wrong.
Outside the window at the end of the corridor, it was getting dark. When the evening lights were lit, a light rain began to fall.
The man was standing in front of the meeting room. No longer as placid and aloof as usual, he looked displeased.
After a long pause, his clear and low voice suddenly rang. “How long did the car wait outside before she left?”
“I heard from the guard at the door that Mr. Vinse’s car had been waiting for over an hour. Our company had a lot of cooperation with the BGY Group before, and we had a lot of contact with Mr. Vinse, so I have a deep impression on his car. When the door opened, I saw the driver was Mr. Vinse himself.”
Mo Jingshen nodded his head in silence and listened.
Seeing him not speak, the secretary didn’t dare to say anymore, nor did he dare to guess what the relationship between CEO Ji and CEO Mo was. CEO Mo was a sophisticated and elusive person. Although he had been in the company for so long, he had never seen through him.
By instinct, he felt that a man as calm and powerful as CEO Mo could always have everything in control and rarely miscalculated.
But CEO Ji seemed to be very special to CEO Mo.
Though that woman was so cold and walked away so decisively…
