Chapter 526: Bring Him Up Again, and I’ll Imdiately Drive You to Tears on This Bed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mo Jingshen placed her on the bed and tugged the sheets over her. He silently picked up the air-conditioner remote and adjusted the temperature to twenty-six degrees Celsius.
Afterward, he watched the woman on the bed. From her fair and clear complexion, he could see the tolerance she was used to maintaining. There were no longer any signs of the way she used to act spoiled around him.
In the past three years, she had grown rapidly as he had hoped.
If the old Ji Nuan, who had been loved dearly by his side, was a hedgehog with almost all of her spikes removed, this Ji Nuan was a lazy kitten that appeared harmless. Although she seed indifferent, she had unbelievably sharp claws.
“Qin Siting will visit today. Let him take a look at your head wound later. If you don’t feel like heading out, rest in the bedroom.” The man sat by the bed and held her hand. He casually placed his hands on her abdon.
His one movent caused Ji Nuan to beco startled. She tried to tug her hand out but was unsuccessful.
She watched him and was about to say sothing but recalled that he had ntioned Qin Siting. She couldn’t help herself from asking: “Has Doctor Qin been in Hai City for the past few years? Is he married to Miss Shi now?”
The man’s fingers remained intertwined with hers. “No.”
Ji Nuan clearly recalled that Xiao Luye had failed to snatch Shi Niange away. It had been obvious from his wounded expression when Shi Niange was brought up. After so many years of entanglent, why was there still no conclusion between Qin Siting and Shi Niange?
“Why? Based on Doctor Qin’s feelings for Miss Shi, even if he doesn’t say it, it’s clear that he is head over heels for her. Why hasn’t he proposed to her yet?”
As she expressionlessly tried to tug her hand away once more, Mo Jingshen released her slowly by unlocking her fingers one by one. Finally, as she shrunk back into the bed as though to defend herself against him, he curved his lips and raised his brows. “How do you know he is head over heels for her? It seems like the two of you have been communicating with each other for the past few years?”
It sounded like the man was slightly unhappy.
Although it wasn’t obvious, Ji Nuan could sense it.
She kept her hands under the blankets and avoided the man’s touch, curving her lips to say: “From the beginning, Doctor Qin has always taken good care of . Afterward, he was also very attentive when I was in Los Angeles. Aren’t the both of you close brothers? Since his brother doesn’t want this woman anymore, and she isn’t even married, there’s nothing wrong with caring for her, don’t you think?”
The temperature around the man seed to drop by several degrees. He watched her with a smile, but he didn’t appear happy, “You actually have that sort of intentions for him?”
Ji Nuan glanced at him. Even though the man was only watching her silently, his gaze alone was sufficient to make her feel as though she was sitting on a bed of needles. Although he did not show any anger, his composure alone was powerful and oppressive.
She smiled again. “One might think that soone like Doctor Qin is too cold and arrogant and difficult to approach. But after becoming familiar with him, you’ll realize that he has the unique qualities of a warm man. His profession as a doctor also adds a divine light to his image. It draws you toward him instinctively. He has always taken good care of , so we’ve been communicating a little here and there. In fact, since I returned to Hai City, the first ti we spoke over the phone was initiated by . Speaking of which, he is also the only old friend I haven’t blacklisted on every channel.”
Mo Jingshen was expressionless. “You’re that interested in him?”
Ji Nuan carelessly interlocked her hands under the sheets, rubbing her nails and said slowly with a false, casual tone, “Originally, since I knew of his years of entanglent with Shi Niange, I didn’t have much interest. But since you ntioned that he still isn’t married, perhaps I can take advantage of this opportunity to toss an olive branch of love at Doctor Qin. Perhaps there’ll really be so possibilities between the two of us?”
Mo Jingshen’s voice was dangerously slow. “There will be no possibilities between the two of you.”
“Why not? Don’t they say that there is little obstruction when a woman pursues a man? Things aren’t that absolute. No possibilities? How do you know that there are no possibilities if I haven’t tried it?” Ji Nuan continued chuckling.
The man’s complexion was mild and heavy as he stared at her. His gaze was unkind.
Ji Nuan appeared as though she hadn’t noticed it, and her eyes seed to be twinkling with excitent. “Didn’t you say that Doctor Qin will be coming later? I’ll let you see if there are any possibilities between us.”
Mo Jingshen unhurriedly raised his cold, handso brows to watch her indifferently. “Have I given you too much ti to calm down? Now you’re even thinking about this sort of nonsense?”
Ji Nuan raised her brows as well. Her eyes appeared to be smiling, yet she seed like a cat hiding in ambush, finally showing one of its sharp claws. “Weren’t you the one who brought up Doctor Qin first?”
Mo Jingshen: “...”
“If you bring him up again, I’ll imdiately drive you to tears on this bed. Try it again if you dare.”
“...”
...
As Mo Jingshen stepped out of the bedroom, Ji Nuan laid on the bed and took the opportunity to bring out her phone secretly.
Earlier, right after placing her SIM card in, she had to hide her phone away frantically. She brought it out now to see that Mr. Vinse had sent her a ssage yesterday.
For the past two years, although the local trends had gradually begun to resemble that of seven to eight years in the future, and things like Weibo and WeChat were becoming progressively popular, it was still less frequently used. It would take at least a year or two before it beca fully popularized. Even though Ji Nuan had imdiately joined the WeChat trend, few of her friends used it; there were only a few of them from her company. For communication, she still mainly relied on text ssages.
In his ssage, Mr. Vinse expressed that he had returned to Hai City.
His short ssage was not as warm as he used to be.
In the past, no matter where he was, after indicating his location, he would always ask about hers. Otherwise, he would ask her what she was doing. However, this ti, he only inford her of his return and finished his ssage with a full stop.
Ji Nuan glanced at it and did not know how to reply.
Furthermore, she felt that Mr. Vinse’s attitude recently was very strange. A man who remained passionate despite three years of rejection had abruptly changed overnight, as though he was trying to build so distance between them. Although he calmly maintained the sa ways of interaction, he was also careful not to be as warm as he used to be.
She didn’t feel much loss from being treated coldly by this man who used to be passionate about her. In the past few years, because of the support he had given her, she never dared to be too hurtful. In fact, she felt that their current way of interacting was the most suitable.
However, she still instinctively found that there was sothing wrong. Otherwise, why would Mr. Vinse change so obviously overnight?
