Fifteen minutes later, Ji Nuan looked at the newly added user in her WeChat Friend List and figured out that she was tricked by Mo Jingshen.
She just registered a WeChat account for him. Why did he add himself as her WeChat friend?
Just now, when she wanted to choose a picture for him as his WeChat avatar, she looked through his cellphone album for quite a while and found only the photos of some meeting documents of his company. There wasn’t a scenery picture in his cellphone album, let alone selfies.
You couldn’t just use a photo of a meeting document as your WeChat avatar, right?
So Ji Nuan said the scenery outside the window was very good and asked him to take a picture outside the window, took it as his temporary WeChat avatar, and changed it later if he’d like.
The man agreed, picked up his phone and took a picture out of the window, not of his side of the window, but of hers.
So when the man took the photo as his avatar, Ji Nuan clicked open her WeChat friend list, took a look at it and immediately went speechless.
He didn’t only photograph the scenery.
He photographed both her and the scenery outside the window!
The user name of the newly registered WeChat ID was left blank. He was not in a hurry to change the name but just changed his avatar and put the phone away.
Ji Nuan stared at the WeChat ID whose name was blank but whose avatar was her picture, and her face went all black.
“It’s eleven o ‘clock. Let’s get out of the car.” The man got off the car as if nothing had happened.
Miss Black-Face: “…”

Today they were here to meet some partners at a location far from the downtown of Beijing. Mo Jingshen rarely visited in person, so the partners specially chose a place to meet him and gathered there to wait for him.
She also had a few acquaintances here today, but not as deep a partnership as he had with them, so she simply said hello, exchanged business cards with others, and had a brief chat with them before she took a seat.
Xiao Hu didn’t follow Mo Jingshen to exchange pleasantries with those partners either. Mo Jingshen told him to accompany Ji Nuan and help her whenever she needed help. As Ji Nuan’s bodyguard, Xiao Hu helped Ji Nuan with the tea and water. After all, she was so important in CEO Mo’s heart, so he should take her as his boss and serve her well.
Ji Nuan was about to ask Xiao Hu to sit down to take a rest and not to follow her when, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of a figure. She stopped and turned her eyes in that direction.
After Mo Jingshen had made his schedule in Beijing, Rong Yan had managed to find out about his itinerary these days and knew where he would go.
She didn’t get a chance to talk to Mo Jingshen last night at the party and charity auction. Even if she could see that he was really not into her, and he seemed to be in love with that woman called Ji Nuan, she was not reconciled to just give up on him. So she sneaked out of her home. As the second daughter of the Rong family, no one stopped her when she came here.
When Mo Jingshen finished talking with someone, Rong Yan came straight out of the back lounge and walked right in front of him. “Mr. Mo.”
Mo Jingshen was not surprised at all to see her again but cast an indifferent glance at her. Although he had heard her voice, he didn’t respond.
“Did you come here alone today?” Rong Yan had just been in the back and couldn’t see the situation in front of the door. It took her a long time to finally find Mo Jingshen in the crowd, but it seemed that he didn’t bring the woman called Ji Nuan with him today.
But she wasn’t sure what he was thinking and didn’t venture to ask why that Ji Nuan wasn’t with him today.
Mo Jingshen glanced at her and his dark, deep eyes remained placid. “Miss Rong, as the second daughter of the Rong family, you do have the ability to do whatever you want, but this place is not a banquet hall and people here today are all big businessmen who came here to talk about business. I’m afraid you came to the wrong place.”
Rong Yan gave a wry smile. “I think you know why I’m here. My family has been strict with me since my childhood. I always obey them but this time I want to assert myself, but I didn’t expect it would end up like this. Mr. Mo, I didn’t mean to bother you, but I just want to ask you what is wrong with me. Why do you not even bother to look at me?”
Mo Jingshen did not speak.
The man had a coldness that could bring a visceral fear out of others. Although she was the second daughter of the respected Rong family in the “Capital Circle,” she could only be quiet in front of him and keep her temper in check. He was so cold that she didn’t even dare to hug him or pester him.
Because she knew the more she pestered him, the more he disliked her.
However, while being coldly glanced by him, she still could not help but want to step back and resists the impulse to retreat.
“Am I not pretty enough? Is my family not rich enough? Is my education degree not high enough? Or am I being too aggressive or annoying? I think my character is very gentle. At least very few men dislike me, but from the beginning to now you barely look at me. I know you have seen a lot of good women, but I believe only the Rong family can match the Mo family in China. Even if you don’t care about family background, you don’t have any woman around you now. Why can’t you accept me…”
Mo Jingshen’s eyes were cold, so was his voice. “Miss Rong, you’ve been investigating me for so long. Don’t you know I was once married?”
Rong Yan froze. She had not really found out anything about his past.
Besides, it was not easy to find out about Mo Jingshen’s past. She had been investigating him for so long, but only got some irrelevant information and couldn’t find anything about his past.
“Were you… married?” Rong Yan couldn’t believe it.
Mo Jingshen curved the corners of his thin lips and smiled, glancing at where Ji Nuan was sitting.
Rong Yan followed his eyes, only to see Ji Nuan, and she immediately understood what he meant.
Even if she was still confused, it seemed that she was not in a place to ask him. She pursed her lips, feeling sad and embarrassed. She paused and forced a few words. “Sorry… for bothering you.”
With that, she turned and walked away, without looking back. She was too embarrassed.
After Rong Yan left, Mo Jingshen came to sit by Ji Nuan, only to see the little woman playing with the glass and asking, “Why don’t you go talk to your Rong Yan? What are you doing here?”
The man glanced at her who didn’t seem to care at all, and said with a faint smile, “She is not ‘my Rong Yan’ but Miss Rong, a person who has nothing to do with me, OK?”
