Ji Nuan looked as if she was really tired.
Xiao Ba had to get up, took her small suitcase, waved goodbye, and was about to leave.
However, when she walked past the bathroom, she suddenly heard a cell phone ring inside.
Xiao Ba immediately stopped and cast a surprised glance at the door of the bathroom. “Why did I hear…”
Ji Nuan quickly walked over and stopped between Xiao Ba and the door when she was about to push the door. “I left my cell phone inside.”
“Ah?” Xiao Ba paused. “Boss, that’s not your cell phone ringtone.”
“I changed the old one when I was idle several days ago.”
“…Really?” Xiao Ba was a bit suspicious, but she couldn’t see what was in the bathroom now. And this was Ji Nuan’s room. She shouldn’t poke her nose into her affairs, although she felt Boss looked a bit strange.
Xiao Ba blinked and took a look at the door of the bathroom behind Ji Nuan, saying, “Then I’m going to my room.”
“Yes, yes, go ahead.” Ji Nuan pushed her to the door of the room.
The door was opened and Xiao Ba walked out with her suitcase. She turned around and said good night to Ji Nuan who nodded, waved at her, and closed the door.
Xiao Ba had finally left and Ji Nuan heaved a sigh of relief at the door.
Why did she have a feeling of being caught cheating in the act just now…
Ji Nuan turned around when the doorbell rang again. She paused and turned to open the door. It was still Xiao Ba who was holding a pile of files in her hands.
“I forgot it just now. I have brought with me several files that must be signed by you personally and were backlogged when you were not in Hai City. Do you want to sign it tonight or on the plane tomorrow?”
Ji Nuan took a look at the documents that were all urgent. If she didn’t sign them, the projects would be delayed.
She took the documents. “I’ll check them now.”
“There are a few documents I need to explain to you in detail, and I’ll go to my room after I explain to you about them.”
“…OK.” Business mattered. Mo Jingshen could just stay in the bathroom.
——
Twenty minutes later, Xiao Ba had finished explaining about the documents to Ji Nuan. After making sure Ji Nuan had had no problem, she left.
The room had completely quieted down. Ji Nuan took two deep breaths, sat on the sofa, reading the documents, and taking several looks at the door of the room.
After making sure Xiao Ba had really left, she put down the documents and rushed into the bathroom.
She opened the door of the bathroom and looked inside, thinking that Mo Jingshen who had never been treated like this would find a place to sit or stand inside and look at her deadpan.
When she opened the door and turned on the lights, however, her eyes met the man’s in the full-length mirror. He stood upright, not looking aggrieved at all.
His cell phone had been muted and placed aside. He didn’t look as cold and indifferent as usual, nor as gentle and affectionate as to her, but placid, lazy and sexy.
The collar of his shirt was wide open. He was wearing a neat shirt and trousers, but now he looked very casual.
Because… he was… shaving.
“You…” Before Ji Nuan spoke, she saw the man carefully wiped off the shaves stubbles and foams by the lights.
He was composed at any time. Although the bathroom seemed to be dark, it was actually not. The light outside shone through the translucent frosted glass.
So he found something to do. He killed time by shaving with the complimentary razor and foam from the hotel.
The sound of the high-grade razor couldn’t be heard outside.
Ji Nuan looked at him and then withdrew her eyes. “When will you leave? I’m going back to Hai City with Xiao Ba tomorrow. The girl always sticks to me and she may come here to chat with me at any time this evening. It’s not convenient for you to stay here.”
He took a look at her, carefully applied the foam on his cheeks and chin, and picked up the razor before he said casually, “Why should I hide?”
Ji Nuan: “…”
She pursed her lips. “I just don’t want to cause any misunderstanding. Xiao Ba, pure and innocent, always thinks that there is no problem between you and me and we will remarry soon. I don’t want her to take think wrong, or to bother to explain, so you’d better leave as soon as possible.
The man said carelessly, “I know what you’re still mad at me and what is in your mind, but you don’t have the heart to be through with me because what I did was for your own good. So you’re stuck in a dilemma.”
Ji Nuan didn’t speak but glanced at him.
“Mo Jingshen, have we really divorced?”
The man took a look at her from the mirror and gave a faint smile. “Did anyone tell you something? Why did you suddenly ask me this question?”
Ji Nuan stood at the door of the bathroom with a straight face. “I thought, with your ability, you could handle the divorce procedures with a signed divorce agreement, but now I think I might be wrong.”
He glanced at her and shaved on her face with her well-shaped fingers, saying casually, “Sometimes, women’s sixth sense is accurate.”
Ji Nuan: “…”
What did he mean?
Did he mean…
Ji Nuan quickly walked up to him. “So have we divorced or not? You gave me that divorce agreement! I signed it and sent it to you. You should have handled the divorce procedures! Now we have nothing to do with each other legally, right?”
The man didn’t speak, however, but casually took the razor and looked at the mirror. Then he frowned and handed the razor to her.
Ji Nuan looked at him in anger. “What?”
“This complimentary razor doesn’t work. The razor head is really dull. I may cut myself if I shave by myself. Help me.” With that, he turned around, slightly bent down and showed his face to her.
She knew this man was a neat freak. He didn’t shave his stubbles when he left this morning because she was still sleeping and he had something urgent to tend to. It was normal that he wanted to deal with his stubbles since he was idle now.
