Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ji Nuan turned to look out of the window and notice they had already arrived outside the Yu Garden.
Mo Jingshen released her, helping her to adjust her clothes before opening the car door. He signaled for her to alight.
After enduring his tornt, Ji Nuan’s legs and arms were both soft. She was caught off guard by the ache she felt and almost fell forward as she alighted. Thankfully, Mo Jingshen was right behind her and caught her. He calmly embraced her, lowering his gaze to look at her, and upon receiving her resentful glare, he imdiately understood the situation. His lips curved into an imperceptible, pleased smirk.
As she had been the one to demand to do it previously, there was nothing she could say.
He really went ahead with it!
Ji Nuan rolled her eyes and went inside after regaining her bearings.
“Madam!” Auntie Chen ca out to receive her. Upon seeing Ji Nuan, she stood by the door apologetically. Her eyes were filled with worry and guilt.
The mont Ji Nuan saw Auntie Chen, she smiled and held her elbow affectionately. “Regardless of what happened previously, you can’t be blad for it. Don’t think too much about it. See, don’t I look completely fine?”
Auntie Chen was actually in the dark about what had transpired last night. However, when she returned this morning, she had retrieved the surveillance caras’ video feed. When she saw Ji Nuan being taken away, she realized how big of a mistake she had made. She had actually opened the doors and allowed those dangerous people in. She was even distracted away, leading Ji Nuan to et with misfortune after arriving ho. She really should not have allowed things to happen that way.
Afterward, she dialed the Mo family to apologize to the Elder and ask about the situation. It was only after confirming that Ji Nuan was unhard that she was able to put her heart at ease as she waited at ho.
“I saw the surveillance feed. That night, Director Mo was the one who said he wanted to co in to check out the ho Mister and you are staying in. But who exactly were the people who took you away?” Auntie Chen was still feeling contrite as she fearfully tugged on Ji Nuan’s hand to ask.
“It’s all right now, regardless of who they are, I’m standing unhard in front of you.” Ji Nuan patted her hand and then asked in concern, “You called the Mo ho? Did grandfather bla you guys?”
Auntie Chen shook her head and looked at Ji Nuan in heartache. “Don’t worry about us anymore. Quick, co in and sit down. You must not have been able to rest well. Were you frightened? I’ll go cook so soothing soup for you to calm your heart!”
Ji Nuan pursed her lips in a smile, nodding her head. She turned to see that Mo Jingshen had already entered through the doors and rushed to follow in. The man stood right in front of the television, watching the surveillance feed with heavy eyes.
The screen displayed everything that happened to Ji Nuan after arriving ho alone.
Ji Nuan felt his dark gaze carried so cold and solemn emotions. He fixed his eyes on the screen, watching for a long while.
She walked over, placing her hand in his palm and said, “They actually didn’t have any intention to harm . Afterward, I was sent to one of Director Mo’s private villas. Aside from locking up, they didn’t do anything to . Also, Grandfather quickly ca to take away.”
After speaking, she had the helper bring her the remote control and decisively turned the television off.
“I’m not lying. That night, aside from being slightly frightened and worrying about your safety, I didn’t co to any harm!” Ji Nuan gently said as she leaned against his side. Her hand remained pressed against his palm. “Let’s delete this feed. Don’t look at it anymore.”
“That you are even slightly worried or frightened ans that I’m not good enough.” Mo Jingshen gripped her hand, speaking with a low and heavy voice.
Ji Nuan pulled him back to their room and then hugged him. She rubbed her face in his embrace, softly saying, “How are you not good enough? In this world, there isn’t a man who treats better than you. You haven’t been resting at all. Don’t think about this anymore. Let’s sleep early tonight, all right?”
The man lowered his head to look at her. His long fingers ran through her long hair, while his other hand held her waist. He locked her in his embrace, and upon recalling the scene he had watched earlier, he softly said, “I’ll sleep later. Let accompany you for a while first.”
“I don’t need company...”
He brought her to sit down on the bed, pressing her head to lean on his shoulder as he kept her in his embrace.
Ji Nuan followed his actions and leaned on him. Previously, she worried that she would sleep poorly after returning to the Yu Garden. However, at this mont, all of the trauma from the experience dissipated.
Aside from the Mo family, usually, not even a fly could enter this place. There was no place safer than the Yu Garden.
Mo Jingshen did not speak. She knew his mood was affected by the surveillance feed and did not break the silence. She took his hand, drawing on his palm with her finger.
As ti gradually passed, she saw that Mo Jingshen still did not wish to sleep. She began to look for topics to chat about while playing with his fingers.
“Do you know a lot about the things that happened to in the past?”
Mo Jingshen glanced at her. “Are you very curious about this?”
“Not really. I don’t have any dark history I’m afraid of revealing. There are just a few things that happened in the Ji family that aren’t suited to talk openly about. But those are all centered around my father and Auntie Shen.” Ji Nuan pressed against his embrace to say, “Then, do you know I studied in Arica in my teens? Although I wasn’t especially diligent, I still managed to get an A for everything. If it wasn’t because of my good performance, I might have stayed to study there for several more years. Perhaps I would have missed the opportunity to marry you.”
Mo Jingshen’s gaze suddenly beca very distant as he looked at her. “During the years you were studying in Arica, I was also there. Regardless if it’s early or late, the fate that should arrive will co nonetheless. We won’t miss it.”
“Based on what you said, could we have t before?” Ji Nuan raised her head to look at him.
Mo Jingshen’s brows moved slightly. He chuckled profoundly and then leaned down to kiss her.
“Why did you suddenly kiss ?” Ji Nuan was fearful that his intention behind not sleeping was to continue torturing her. She subconsciously wanted to leap away from his embrace.
If he tried again today, she definitely would lose her life!
Previously, she had already lost half her of life. Right now, she felt that her small life was held entirely in his hand.
Mo Jingshen did not answer her earlier question, softly saying, “The person I wanted you to et will arrive tomorrow. There’s no need to wake up early. If you wish to head out, wait for the person to arrive before leaving.”
He released her and got up to take a shower.
Ji Nuan laid on the bed for a while to scroll through her phone. When he ca out, she was just about to enter the study with her laptop in her arms. However, before she could even do so, the man had pulled her back on the bed.
