  Remaining silent for a few seconds, the man suddenly pulled over. His slender, strong fingers suddenly fell on her jaw and forced her to face him. His eyes were dark and cold, and he repeated with emphasis, “I say it again, don’t throw your tantrum on me here.”


  Ji Nuan angrily hit his hand away and smiled coldly. “Do you think I’m throwing a tantrum? Mo Jingshen, I pull out all my thorns and face you with my soft inside every day. Have I ever thrown a tantrum on you?”


  He also looked into her eyes and said flatly, “You don’t have to suppress your own nature. Just be yourself. Just show me what you’re capable of. You’ve been wearing the mask for too long, and now you can’t take it off. How can you blame me for that?”


  Ji Nuan stared at him and gradually narrowed her eyes. “You want me to become that Ji Nuan I used to be?”


  Mo Jingshen curved the corners of his lips and sneered. “Don’t you know what you were like?”


  Ji Nuan opened her mouth, then paused, and suddenly spat out a word. “Good.”


  She suddenly tried to push his hand off her chin but could not.

  He pinched her chin harder. “You can’t get off here. I’m not kidding. Don’t be a drama queen here, en?”


  “Does my life still concern you?”


  “No, but my moral sense doesn’t allow me just to watch you get out of the car and die.”


  “Your answer is really cruel and straightforward.”


  He took back his hand from her chin and turned to drive again, his voice so deep that his real emotion couldn’t be felt. “I’ve made it clear enough. You should have seen the reality. It’s pointless for you to lie to yourself.”


  “Mo Jingshen, do you still remember what I was like?” Ji Nuan suddenly asked him, but when she asked, her expression was too calm.

  He didn’t answer her.

  She also seemed not to expect any reply from him at all……

  It was late when she was sent back to the Yu Garden.

  Ji Nuan came out of the bathroom with a nightgown over her nightdress, her long, washed hair wrapped in a towel. She picked up the hairdryer, plugged it in, pulled off the towel, and began to blow her semi-wet hair.

  It was already past nine o ‘clock when Mo Jingshen sent her back to the Yu Garden. It was too late, so he didn’t drive away.

  It was also the first time he had stayed in the Yu Garden since they came back to China.

  But he didn’t go back to the master bedroom but stayed in the study.

  A short time later, Ji Nuan touched her blow-dried hair, put the dryer down, combed her hair, and looked at herself in the mirror.

  It was really like she had been forced to take a vacation at that mid-hill villa these days. She had to put aside all her work and social engagements. The meals were made according to her taste. The mute servant would occasionally cook a new dish, and if she didn’t eat it, she would not force her to do so, and then switched back to her favorite flavor.

  She didn’t expect that after a week of rest, she would be in better shape. This week she weighed at least three pounds more, and even her cheeks became rosy.

  If Shi Niange weren’t that helpless that night, Ji Nuan would have doubted the real purpose of that Xiao Luye.

  But now she still doubted his purpose.

  That man was always looking at her as if there was something special in her face.

  But now that she had left that mid-hill villa, she was not in the mood to think whether that man was a good or a bad guy. After all, it had nothing to do with her now.

  The door was knocked suddenly, and Ji Nuan got up to open it. Auntie Chen was holding a cup of red dates and white fungus soup.

  Seeing Ji Nuan hadn’t slept yet, Auntie Chen said in a hushed voice, “Mr. Mo hasn’t been back for a long time. I heard that he was too busy in recent months and often worked overtime in the company. I think he must stay up late a lot. Now he has finally come back. I made some soup for him as a night snack, but the door of his study is closed, and I dare not knock on the door.”


  “Just dump the soup. He won’t eat it.”


  Auntie Chen paused. “But Mr. Mo……”


  “I’m tired. I’m going to take a rest. If you don’t mind, I’ll close the door.”


  Seeing Ji Nuan is not going to say anymore, Auntie Chen hurriedly put the bowl into her hand. “Madam, it’s up to you……”


  Ji Nuan closed the door and looked at the red dates and white fungus soup in her hand.

  She might as well eat it herself.

  —-

  In the end, Ji Nuan still knocked on the door of the study, but there was no response.

  Ji Nuan continued to knock on the door patiently. She wasn’t in a hurry but kept tapping her finger on the door for a few minutes.

  The door of the study was finally opened. The man stood at the door, and his indifferent look fell on her night skirt, his eyes cold and clear. “What’s up?”


  Ji Nuan handed her the bowl in her hand and said carelessly, “It’s the red dates and white fungus soup Auntie Chen made. She asked me to bring it to you.”


  Her tone was careless, so was the soup.

  Because she had almost finished half the bowl of soup.

  Looking at the half bowl of red dates and white fungus soup, Mo Jingshen remained deadpan. “You can drink it if you like. You don’t have to bring half a bowl of soup for me.”


  “You speak as if you’ll drink it if I bring you the whole bowl.”


  Mo Jingshen didn’t continue with this topic, nor shut her out. This was Yu Garden, and Auntie Chen and the other servants were all Grandfather Mo’s ‘spies,’ so he didn’t treat her too coldly. He didn’t close the door, and she could choose to leave or come in.

  After Mo Jingshen turned around and went in, Ji Nuan saw that he was not working but reading some translation materials. The computer on the desk was turned on but showed the desktop wallpaper, which meant that he just turned on the computer but didn’t use it. Some documents automatically printed by the printer in the study were placed beside the computer and hadn’t been signed, which meant that he was not in a hurry to sign the documents, and he was not busy tonight.

  Ji Nuan walked over to him, and, as he put the translated materials away at random, she went over to him and watched him as he put the translated materials into the bookshelf.

  Mo Jingshen didn’t say a word more during the whole process, but after she looked at him for a long time with burning eyes, he picked up a document beside the computer and turned his eyes to her before he opened it. “Are you going to stay here and watch me work?”


  “Can’t I?” Ji Nuan tilted her head as if she were laughing, but in her clear eyes, there seemed to be a distinct cold glint.

  Mo Jingshen no longer paid any attention to her. He picked up a document that wasn’t urgent and began to read it as if she didn’t exist at all.

  Chapter 406 - Not Only Did She Return the Keys, but She Also Returned the Money the Mo Corporation Invested in Her Studio…

  Ji Nuan stood beside him and watched him work. She watched him called Shen Mu and telling him something about these documents, watched him put down the phone, watched him signing the documents, and watched him frowning and turning back into being expressionless.

  The half bowl of red dates and white fungus soup was still eaten by her. She stood aside and watched him while drinking the soup.

  After she finished eating, she put down the bowl and wiped away the water stain on the corner of her mouth with her fingers. Then she glanced at the man’s side face, which remained unmoved, raised her hand, and pressed the documents in front of him.

  The man paused and looked at her. “What do you want?”


  Ji Nuan stared at him. “Since you think all my feelings and forbearance are just because I’m wearing a mask, I think tonight, I should let you recall what I used to be like.”


  With these words, she suddenly bent down to him, drew close to his face, and gazed at him. “I suddenly miss my past self who used to do whatever I wanted. I didn’t care about what people felt. I just did whatever I wanted, got whatever I wanted, and abandoned whatever I wanted.”


  Then, suddenly, she fell back and, to Mo Jingshen’s surprise, sat on his lap. Then she put her hand around his neck and gave him a seducing smile. “If I want something, I’ll try every possible means to get it. Now you are what I want. Can you teach me how to get you back?”


  Mo Jingshen slowly frowned. “Naive.”


  With that, he was about to push her away from his legs.

  Ji Nuan, however, still sat on his lap and put her hand around his neck. She slowly stroked his spine from the bottom up, with two fingers slowly moving along the part of his back that was seriously injured in that car accident.

  She had just taken a bath, emitting the faint refreshing scent of perfume and shower gel. She wore nothing except the thin summer silk nightdress and sat on his strong legs.

  Ji Nuan smiled at him, lifted his chin with a hand, and drew so close to him that their lips were only one finger away. Their breathing was entwined, but there was still a distance between them.

  “Ji Nuan, do you know what you’re doing?” He didn’t push her away but maintained the original posture. He looked at her with an indifferent and scornful look.

  Ji Nuan didn’t answer. She looked hot and seductive, but her eyes were icy.

  “I’m sitting on my husband’s lap. Is that a problem?”


  Mo Jingshen’s eyes were as dark as ink. Staring at her smiling face, he said coldly, “Act properly and don’t be so capricious.”


  The smile on Ji Nuan’s face spread. “Capricious?”


  Mo Jingshen avoided her eyes. “Get up. Don’t sit here.”


  Ji Nuan chuckled, leaned against him, held his shoulder, and put her hands around his neck. “Okay, give me a kiss and I’ll get up.”


  Mo Jingshen’s eyes looked unfathomable. He seemed to see how desperate she was, and suddenly, without mercy, he pushed her down his leg.

  He moved so fast that she was pushed away before she could feel the reaction of his lower body.

  Ji Nuan stumbled and backed away.

  She didn’t insist but leaned against the table and looked at him for a moment.

  She said nothing more but looked at him, and then something seemed to fall on the table behind her, and she went straight to the door of the study.

  The door was opened and closed, and she left without looking back.

  Mo Jingshen turned his eyes, only to see that expensive pen thrown back to the table by her. The pen, which was so hard, had been broken by her with bare hands……

  In the weekend, Mo Nuan Studio was finally moved into the new office building. The building had twenty floors, which were all owned by the studio. The number of its employees was also increasing exponentially. However, because Ji Nuan hadn’t applied for the name change of the studio, it was still called a studio instead of a company.

  During the three days of celebration, they received gifts from various partners, and the heads from many partners had come forward to congratulate them personally. All the companies that had invested in the studio had offered congratulations. However, the Mo Corporation, which had invested 200 million dollars in Mo Nuan Studio, took no action.

  After the three days of celebration banquet, the Mo Corporation suddenly received a remittance from Mo Nuan Studio.

  Two hundred million dollars and the profits required by the investment contract were remitted to the company overnight.

  The Mo Corporation’s financial department was in an uproar, who didn’t expect this real estate studio of Ji Nuan could really earn so much money. And it seemed that the real estate industry would still boom. All the lands and real estate that Ji Nuan had bought in large quantities were soaring in price. Earning so much money in such a short period, this studio was definitely a miracle in the domestic real estate industry.

  But when she could continue to pour money into land purchases, her studio suddenly paid back the money to the Mo Corporation.

  And during that time, Ji Nuan didn’t contact Mo Jingshen at all.

  After receiving that sum of money, Shen Mu was surprised to hear the news and showed Mo Jingshen the remittance record. “CEO Mo, Mrs. Mo has paid the money back, with interest and principal, exactly as stipulated in the contract, without the slightest error. This……”


  Mo Jingshen stared at the record of the payment for a long time.

  Although there would be a major funding gap for her studio, many of the investors in this industry would be eager to fill the gap, and there was no need to worry that she would be short of funds. Many investors would only try their best to sign a cooperation agreement with her studio as soon as they heard the news.

  Ji Nuan was affectionate, but once she had made a decision, she was so resolute that it made one wonder if she intended to do so before, but there was always a thread connecting her and him, and now this thread had finally broken.

  The clothes in his office had been removed, and everything she had touched had been removed. Just this morning, he had received the card and key of Ao Lan International she had sent.

  Not only did she return the keys, but she also returned the money he had invested in her studio.
