Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mo Jingshen’s gaze cut past her face like the wind as he indifferently declared, “Vegetables.”
“Oh.”
Ji Nuan was slightly embarrassed as she scribbled next to the vegetable platter option. From what he said, she understood that Mo Jingshen preferred vegetarian food, so she picked several more items that were lighter.
After that, she handed the nu to him. “Take a look to see if there’s anything you want to add? I didn’t order too much.”
Mo Jingshen took it but did not look at it, directly handing it over to the server by the table.
“What would the two of you like to drink?”
“Do you have warm water? Normal drinking water will do as well,” Ji Nuan asked.
“We do, I’ll send it over for you imdiately. What about you, sir?”
“The sa.”
Ji Nuan imdiately raised her head to survey Mo Jingshen, silently rembering. She knew quite well that Mo Jingshen did not like milk. He also did not have much love for tea or coffee. Just like her, he was faithful to plain water. His choices in food were healthy, so she sowhat began to understand his taste.
The server held the nu and left. Not too long later, the clear soup broth Ji Nuan had ordered was sent over.
Less than a minute later, the steam began rising between the two of them.
“Earlier on, I was worried you would be unused to such an environnt.” Ji Nuan took the glass pot sent over by the server. It contained warm water with lemon slices.
Mo Jingshen’s charming brows moved slightly. “What do you an?”
“For people like you who normally spend more ti at social events and frequent official places, you most likely won’t have that much preference for hot pot.”
“It’s true that I don’t prefer it, but it doesn’t an that I won’t eat it.” Mo Jingshen only smiled and did not tease her on her choice of topic that was on the verge of deviating from the norm.
“Then, do you enjoy sweets?” Ji Nuan suddenly held her face with one hand, staring at the man’s handso face through the white steam.
He regarded her. “Do you plan on starting to understand my tastes?”
Ji Nuan calmly smiled. “I don’t have any choice. I suddenly experienced a strong wave of danger today. If I don’t take so initiative, what if my husband gets snatched away by soone else!”
Mo Jingshen lowly chuckled.
“I guess you definitely don’t like sweets,” Ji Nuan muttered to herself.
This was because the last ti he bought her rice ball soup, there was a lot left, but he did not take even a single bite. That taste was too sweet, and he most likely did not enjoy it.
He raised his brows, and she took it to an that she was right.
This hot pot al fed them well. Ji Nuan kept asking questions the whole ti, while Mo Jingshen occasionally answered and occasionally ignored her.
In the end, Ji Nuan even asked what color he liked before he finally could not tolerate it and brought this little woman, who had suddenly beco a good student, out of Hotpot City.
——
Ji Nuan stayed at ho for two days to look through the acquired company’s docunts and reports. She did not leave the house.
In this period, Ji ngran called twice. She did not even answer once, pretending to be dead and ignorant.
The night before the weekend of Elder Mo’s birthday celebration, Ji ngran called again.
Ji Nuan had just walked out of the study. She glanced at the number and picked up the phone expressionlessly.
“Big Sister, these few days did you and Brother Jing Shen not return to the Yu Garden?” Ji ngran carefully asked.
Ji Nuan’s tone was unhurried. “No, why? You went to the Yu Garden to look for us?”
“I... In the afternoon, I had a reunion with my classmates and passed by the Yu Garden. I wanted to go in to look for you, but Auntie Chen said you and Brother Jing Shen have not been returning to stay in the Yu Garden recently.”
Passed by the Yu Garden?
The Yu Garden leaned against the south side of Hai Cheng’s city area. It was also positioned in a quiet neighborhood. Regardless of where Ji ngran went, there was no way she would pass by the Yu Garden on the way back.
“It’s true that we haven’t returned there. Your brother-in-law and I have been enjoying our small little world. We most likely won’t return to the Yu Garden for a few more days.” Ji Nuan smiled coolly.
Ji ngran appeared to be stunned by her reply. She was quiet for a mont before diligently asking, “Then where have you and Brother Jing Shen been staying recently? I’ll go find you!”
“Won’t we get to et tomorrow at the Mo family ho? Why are you in such a rush to find today?” Ji Nuan was too lazy to act excited, rejecting coldly. “If there’s anything else, let’s talk tomorrow. I’m busy.”
“I brought a good thing for you, Big Sister. If it’s convenient, let go look for you.” Ji ngran was very determined.
Ji Nuan was quiet for a mont. She did want to see what exactly she was trying to sell here. Tomorrow was Grandfather Mo’s birthday celebration. In the past two days, Ji ngran has been earnestly trying to contact her, which suggested there was definitely sothing planned.

She t Ji ngran at a dessert shop. Ji Nuan did not reveal where she was staying.
After arriving at the dessert shop, Ji ngran saw that Ji Nuan was sitting by the window and walked in. She was scanning through her phone while sipping a cup of milk tea.
Ji Nuan pretended not to see her, keeping her eyes fixed on the news she was scrolling through on her phone. She appeared to be defenseless. Only when Ji ngran approached the table, she coolly spoke. “Sit down. What exactly do you want to talk about?”
She was lazy to give Ji ngran much face, nor did she feel the need to pretend that their sister relationship was strong.
Ji ngran pushed a delicate box toward her. “Previously, didn’t you ntion that you wanted to gift a chess board to Elder Mo? I begged Dad for a really long ti, and he finally agreed to give this to . Big Sister, why don’t you gift this to Grandfather Mo tomorrow.”
The last ti, Ji ngran was unaware of the fact that they had successfully obtained the chess book.
Ji Nuan did not even raise her head; her eyes fixed on the phone. Her voice was cold, causing others to feel like there was a distance of a thousand miles between them. “Grandfather Mo’s birthday, you sure are concerned about it.”
Ji ngran naturally had to put on an expression of being concerned for her sister. “After all, you are my sister and Brother Jing Shen treats well. I have to do sothing for both of you.”
“Is that so?” Ji Nuan placed the phone down, indifferently glancing at Ji ngran.
At the mont their eyes t, Ji ngran felt so fear in her heart because of her cold and indifferent gaze. “Big Sister, recently we’ve beco much more distant. You won’t let go to the Yu Garden, and now you won’t even tell where you are staying. What exactly are you wary of?”
Ji Nuan glanced at the box, reaching out to open it. She saw that it was indeed the jade chessboard from the early Tang period that her father had kept for many years.
That it was real, was indeed very strange...
Ji Nuan closed the box, raising her thin fingers and unhurriedly tapping it against the glass table. “Why have you been so suspicious recently? Could it be that you’ve really done sothing wrong against ?”
Ji ngran’s natural expression almost froze. “How could I have done anything against you. You are my sister. My blood-related sister!”
Ji Nuan’s gaze returned to her phone. Her voice was as light as the wind. “Isn’t that it? If you haven’t done anything wrong, why are you always worried?”
“I-I’m just... just asking... I’m worried that we’ve beco too distant. Since I’m just overthinking, then I won’t ask more.”
Ji Nuan was indifferent and did not answer further.
Around ten minutes later, Ji ngran found an excuse to leave.
Ji Nuan did not even take another peek at the chessboard. Her eyes remaining fixed on her phone screen. She casually searched up the information related to this jade chessboard and afterward, her lips curved up in an ambiguous smile. Her eyes were clear and bright, revealing none of her thoughts.
