  At night, Ji Nuan returned to the Yuehu Bay. Sleeping in the big bed alone, she closed her eyes in the dark but tossed and turned sleepless.

  It took her three years to adjust to being single.

  But Mo Jingshen only spent three days to break her habit.

  He slept on the floor beside the bed for two nights, but for some reason, Ji Nuan felt something was missing now……

  With her mind filled with wild thoughts, Ji Nuan finally fell asleep.

  —-

  The next morning, she woke up feeling uncomfortable all over. Although she slept last night, she didn’t sleep well. When she sat up, she felt pain in her shoulders and neck, presumably from keeping herself a fixed position during her sleep.

  Ji Nuan went downstairs for a morning jog.

  The neighbors jogging and working out downstairs greeted her when they saw her and asked where she had been these days.

  Ji Nuan smiled and said she had been out recently.

  She ran two laps and went back to the apartment. Under the apartment building, she saw the aunt living on the seventh floor talking to someone. She said hello and was going upstairs to take a shower and get ready for work.

  The aunt, however, turned around and asked her enthusiastically when she saw her, “Miss Ji, are you working out, By the way, the last few times I met you, you were in such a hurry to go to work that I never had a chance to talk with you. May I ask how old you are?”


  Ji Nuan took a look at the aunt. “Twenty-four.”


  “Alas, you are twenty-four? I thought you were younger than twenty! Are you married?”


  “.……No.”


  She didn’t want to talk about her personal life with others, especially with an over-enthusiastic neighbor aunt who didn’t know much about her.

  “That’s great. My son is going to come back from studying abroad these two days. He has a PhD in finance and is 28 years old. He was doing financial analysis in a large foreign enterprise with great income. You can see that my family’s financial condition isn’t bad since we live in Yuehu Bay. My son is a good-looking man and I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with him once you see him. I want to introduce my son to you. Would you like to see him for a blind date?”

  Ji Nuan. “Ah?”


  Blind date?!

  Seeing Ji Nuan froze, the aunt came up and took her hand, saying all smiles. “I’ve been looking at you for a long time since you moved here. You just work and stay at home except when going out for a morning jog and are very polite to us. I can see that you are a very excellent girl with good living habits. My son happens to come back and he doesn’t have a girlfriend. I wanted to tell you this several days ago, but you were not around these days. Today, I finally got you!”


  The corner of Ji Nuan’s mouth twitched and she forced a smile. “Auntie, this is too sudden, and something like a blind date doesn’t suit me. Your son is excellent, and I think there must be many good girls who can match him. I…… I’d better not. You know, I’m busy with my work……”


  “Alas, my son is busy too, but no matter how busy young people are, you’ll have to find someone to get married!” The aunt took her hand, gently patted the back of her hand and went on. “Anyway, you’re single, aren’t you? We are neighbors and have a lot of chances to meet. I’m sure you two will be satisfied with each other. The first step in developing a relationship is to get to know each other. I don’t mean to disturb you. I just want you two to meet.”


  “Then let’s get to know each other when we meet downstairs after your son comes back. I have to go to work soon, and I’ve to take a shower,” Ji Nuan said and was about to leave.

  “Don’t go. Can you give me your phone number? My son will go back to Hai City tomorrow. Then I will make an appointment with you to have dinner together, OK?”


  The aunt was very enthusiastic and was holding Ji Nuan’s hand. She often met this neighbor, who had gifted her soybean milk she made herself some time ago. Ji Nuan couldn’t reject her too coldly, but she really didn’t want a blind date. In order to get away as soon as possible, she left the aunt her business card with her office’s phone number on, without giving her personal number, and then walked straight into her apartment.

  —-

  Ji Nuan thought the aunt just had a whim but didn’t expect the aunt to be serious.

  The next day, when Ji Nuan got off work and walked out of the company, she saw a person waving at her in front. She looked carefully, only to see it was that aunt waving at her excitedly.

  Ji Nuan walked over. “Auntie? Why are you here……?”


  The aunt said all smiles. “I know you’re working here, but I don’t know whether you can answer phones at work, so I didn’t call you but waited. Come on, get in the car. Let my son drive you to dinner.”


  Ji Nuan paused and then saw a blue high-level sports car behind the aunt. The driver’s door opened and a young man in a leisure suit stepped out and gave her a polite smile. “Hello.”


  Ji Nuan. “.……Hello.”


  Ji Nuan tried to reject but was still persuaded onto the car. The aunt took her hand and chatted enthusiastically with her for quite a while.

  They had booked a French restaurant whose food was said to be delicious. The restaurant was not in the west part of the city but the downtown of Hai City.

  After entering the restaurant, the aunt smiled and said she had a phone call to make. Then she walked out, leaving the two of them staring at each other in embarrassment.

  Fortunately, her son was a mature man. He took the initiative to introduce himself and said that he had just returned to China and hadn’t found a job in China yet. If it weren’t for his mother who forced him to meet her, he wouldn’t have come here because he didn’t want a blind date either, but he had a very good impression of Ji Nuan and hoped to know her better.

  The aunt’s son talked in a measured way and was neither conceited nor rash. He didn’t speak too much or too little, making people feel comfortable. He was an excellent man indeed.

  Ji Nuan chatted with him about the changes in the business and financial situation at home and abroad. As they chatted, she gradually relaxed and smiled.

  —-

  In the Shine Group, Mo Jingshen was standing at the window and suddenly, his cell phone received a photograph from the bodyguard. He clicked on it, only to see that in the photograph, Ji Nuan, with a bright smile, sat opposite a man.

  Mo Jingshen stood there, and his gaze fell on the smiling face of the woman until his cell phone rang again.

  He picked up and the bodyguard said, “CEO Mo, Miss Ji seems to be having a blind date with a young man……”
