Ji Nuan closed her eyes in anger.
This traitor!
Couldn’t you see that I, your boss, was being imprisoned by this bastard with the excuse of recuperation?!
How can you just kiss Mo Jingshen’s ass and ignore me at such a time?!
Seeing that Xiao Ba quickly put away her wallet, Mo Jingshen smiled casually. “Hello.”
Xiao Ba seemed to be mesmerized by him in an instant.
Ohhhhh!
Boss Mo spoke to her! And smiled at her! And said “hello” to her with a smile!
It was in the hotel the first time Boss Mo spoke to her when she interrupted him and Ji Nuan and accidentally saw him almost naked, and he wasn’t so kind to him that time as he was now.
See, he was even smiling at her!
Ahhhhh—
Seeing Xiao Ba, who was completely “bewitched” by Mo Jingshen, Ji Nuan was speechless. “…”
Now she knew how big a mistake she had made to hire an anthomaniac girl as her assistant.
Auntie Chen looked at them and then at Mo Jingshen. Since Mr. Mo had come back, she was relieved and turned to go on with her work.
Ji Nuan stood at the door, stared at Mo Jingshen’s faintly smiling face, and gradually became deadpan.
Wasn’t she even allowed to go home?
Mo Jingshen’s glance swept over her, and he walked in and said, “Why don’t you come in?”
Ji Nuan looked at her back and then at Xiao Ba, who tried to suppress her inner excitement, and waved her hand like an innocent, shy girl. “No, no. I didn’t know CEO Ji is living in your apartment. If I had known, I would never ever have come here!”
Ji Nuan: “…”
“Well, I still have something to tend to. Boss, don’t waste time. Just remarry CEO Mo! Sister Xia and I will help you take care of the company! Sister Xia’s maternity leave is over, and she can come back at any time. You can rest assured! Just enjoy your moments in love!”
With that, Xiao Ba took a deep breath at Mo Jingshen’s back with a worshipping look, turned around, and quickly ran to the elevator, not daring to stay here.
The corners of Ji Nuan’s mouth twitched hard.
Enjoy her moments in love? What the hell!
It wasn’t until the elevator’s door closed that she looked at the man who had gone inside in exasperation.
Mo Jingshen looked into her eyes calmly. Although he was carrying a bag with the lingerie he bought for her, he didn’t look embarrassed or guilty at all.
Ji Nuan came over and took a look at the bag he put on the sofa.
So, she saw it right. It was really lingerie.
Yesterday, Auntie Chen bought her two sets of clothes but only one set of lingerie, which she would need to change today. She didn’t expect that he bought these things for her on the way back from the company…
Ji Nuan pursed her lips. “Why did you come back so early? Was your meeting so short?”
He answered lightly, “It’s just a routine morning meeting. It won’t last long.”
Oh, the meeting didn’t last long. It was really disappointing.
He didn’t even give her a chance to slip away.
Ji Nuan stared at him for quite a while before slowly taking a step back, trying not to touch the pocket in which there were the new cell phone and money, so as not to draw his attention. She turned aside. “How about the two kidnappers that day?”
“One dead, the other injured. They’re gang criminals and their other accomplices have been caught. The Chinese police have always been very effective with this kind of case.”
No wonder they were so confident, and no wonder so many policemen showed up. It turned out that they had accomplices.
“Then what about your car?” Ji Nuan wondered darkly if he had wanted to change cars before the accident. Otherwise, why didn’t he even bat his eyes at the fact that his car worth tens of millions of yuan had fallen into the sea?
The man took a look at her and asked, “What kind of car do you like?”
“Why do you need to know what kind of car I like? It’s not my car that fell into the sea. I don’t need a new car.” Ji Nuan snorted.
Mo Jingshen looked down at the parking lot from the window, where Ji Nuan’s car was parked. He smiled. “Why was your assistant doing here?”
Ji Nuan stood behind him and said unhappily, “The CEO of Shine Group doesn’t even give me one hundred yuan. What else can I do except having my assistant bring me some money? But before I got the money, you had come back. Xiao Ba, that traitor, ran away at once. It doesn’t make any difference whether she comes or not.”
He glanced at her, but Ji Nuan avoided his gaze and turned to the bedroom, with the excuse that she needed to use the bathroom.
She secretly took the money and cell phone out of the pocket. Afraid that Mo Jingshen might come in and see them, she went into the bathroom with these things and the new SIM card Auntie Chen bought for her, sat on the toilet, and put the SIM card into the cell phone. Then she turned on the cell phone and made sure the cell phone was working. She triumphantly turned the cell phone into silent mode, came out, and hid the cell phone somewhere so that she could use it when she needed it.
She didn’t go out until Auntie Chen said the congee had been made and asked her to come out to eat it. As Auntie Chen served the congee, Mo Jingshen walked by the dining table. He took a look at Ji Nuan and found that she seemed to be more confident after coming out of the bedroom. He paused and then turned into the study.
Ji Nuan, eating the congee, looked at Mo Jingshen’s back and was a bit worried.
He wouldn’t find out, would he?
The man entered the study and casually turned on the laptop under the shelf. The surveillance software quickly showed the scene in front of the door just now, including how Xiao Ba slipped a stack of money and a cell phone into Ji Nuan’s hands and how Ji Nuan hid those things in her pocket.
His brows slightly moved, and he smiled, turned off the laptop, and walked out.
Ji Nuan was still drinking the congee at the dining table. The scar on her neck that Mo Peilin made with her ring in the Mo family had almost disappeared, and the cut on the back of her hand that she made herself only ached when it was stained with water. But she took a shower today, so the latter reddened again. She didn’t seem to mind it and kept eating, but the redness on the back of her hand was conspicuous.
Looking at her, who didn’t seem to mind the wound at all, Mo Jingshen was speechless for quite a while before he said, “After that, I’ll apply some medicine on your hand and keep it dry a day.”
Ji Nuan looked down at the wound, which she made herself in the car. She pursed her lips. “No, it’s just a scratch. It will heal itself.”
Mo Jingshen took her hand. When Ji Nuan was about to take her hand back, he held it tightly and looked at the wound, from which blood seemed to ooze out again. The wound was a little inflamed from the water, so it turned red.
Ji Nuan frowned and was about to withdraw her hand, but the man simply said unrefutably, “Don’t move.”
Under his stare, Ji Nuan couldn’t help but look away, unable to withdraw her hand.
