CH 58
Turning to see that Mo Jingshen had already gone to settle the bill, Ji Nuan calmly and unhurriedly wrapped her hand around his elbow. “Hubby, the weather today is really good. Shall we walk around for a bit longer?”
Watching the two of them showing off their affections, the two employees spat in their hearts.
This woman sure was shameless. After receiving a phone, she called him hubby. Just because she had a pretty face, she acted like a vixen, spit.
Around others, Mo Jingshen had an aura of distant coldness. However, toward the woman by his side, he was soft and patient. He wrapped his arm around her waist, gently leading her out. His voice was soft, yet it could be heard by the employees inside. “Before three in the afternoon, all of my time belongs to Mrs. Mo. Where else do you want to go?”
“Just around this business district is good enough. There’s no need to go too far. There are several department stores ahead which are not bad. Let’s go there?”
The employees looked at each other with shock and dismay.
M-M-M-Mo.. Mrs. Mo?
There were few in Hai Cheng with the surname ‘Mo.’ Those with the surname Mo who were rich and outstanding were even fewer.
They rushed to flip through a recent magazine. After searching for a while, they finally found a picture with Mo Jingshen’s silhouette. After glancing at it for a while, several of the employees’ eyes almost fell out because of shock.
That man earlier on, his status was not simple..
He was actually Mo Jingshen?
The picture also included Ji Nuan’s silhouette.
“It really is Mo Jingshen and Mrs. Mo?!”
“Our words earlier.. Mrs. Mo must have heard them right..”
“What should we do, could have we offended them?”
The employee who was handling the cashier glanced at them and then rolled his eyes. “Not only did Mrs. Mo hear it, even standing here I could hear it. Do you want to guess if Mr. Mo could hear it?”
“.. He definitely heard it! T-then, what should we do?”
“Mr. Mo did not even spare you guys a glance from the beginning. You guys ah, you have eyes but you can’t see clearly. Speaking so much nonsense. You are doomed to have no success in life! You deserve it!”
The employees all shivered.
Ji Nuan had already walked out of the shop. After walking a short distance, she glanced toward Mo Jingshen who remained unaffected from the beginning. “You heard it earlier, didn’t you?”
Mo Jingshen’s voice was unperturbed. “Mrs. Mo’s looks are truly too outstanding. Due to this, others will often misunderstand that a man is keeping you. I think there’s no need to handle those two companies. You should just stay at home comfortably and be kept by me for the rest of your life.”
Ji Nuan pouted slightly.
Why was it that she could hear the teasing in his voice so clearly.
“It’s already past one. There’s a little less than two hours before you have to leave to work.” While walking, Ji Nuan asked, “Do you want to eat something first?”
“Hungry?”
“Not yet. This morning I ate my hubby’s home-cooked meal. I ate to the point where I almost exploded. Right now, I still don’t feel hungry.” Ji Nuan followed by Mo Jingshen’s side and did not forget to flatter him.
“I’ll accompany you to shop before returning to the company. Tell me if you are hungry.”

What Ji Nuan did not know was that although the employees in the electronic store did not encounter any great calamity, because they spoke words that should not have been said, they still had to face the consequences.
The store manager suddenly called, “Earlier on, who were the two that dared to speak words that should not have been spoken behind other people’s back? Quickly give them their pay for this month and ask them to leave!”
The two employees were immediately frightened as they picked up the phone, miserably saying, “Manager, we didn’t mean to do it. We didn’t recognize Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo. We only casually said a few words. We didn’t think we would offend..”
“Don’t explain it to me! We have already blacklisted the two of you! Leave immediately!” The manager immediately hung up the phone.

To save time, Ji Nuan did not walk too far and only shopped around the department stores nearby.
The place at Ao Lan International was too simple, and there were insufficient living necessities. Therefore, she bought many various sleepwear and towels. Before leaving, she also purchased an extremely soft comforter. Those who did not know would think the two were preparing for their newlywed home.
Actually, this was the first time Ji Nuan was considerately and seriously taking care of the home that belonged to them. Although the Yu Garden was their wedding home, the Ao Lan International was closer to his company. She hoped that the second home that belonged to them could become more homely.
Before returning, Ji Nuan tugged Mo Jingshen over to a nearby Chinese restaurant to have a simple meal. This Chinese restaurant opened many years ago. As it was good and inexpensive, she would occasionally eat here in her past life. However, she always ate alone and could only order the cheapest dish and rice.
Just as they were about to return to Ao Lan International, she sat on the car and said, “Just drop me at the entrance of the residential area. I’ll bring the things in and tidy it up. You can head straight to the company.”
Mo Jingshen glanced at the time. “There’s no rush; I’ll send you up.”
Ji Nuan glanced at their battle spoils from today and considered that she really could not carry so much. She did not reject further.
The two returned to the Ao Lan International. As Mo Jingshen was carrying too many things, Ji Nuan moved forward to unlock the door. The passcode was really her birthday. She turned to glance at Mo Jingshen, but he had already proceeded to carry the things in.
“Earlier at the grocery store, I didn’t think we bought much. Looking at it now, I think we went a little overboard.” Ji Nuan squatted down at the floor as she flipped through the shopping bags.
Mo Jingshen glanced at her. It was only a few living necessities, but she was acting extremely satisfied as though she had received something precious.
“There are too many things. You won’t be able to arrange them all. Call Auntie Chen to come and help you.” Mo Jingshen’s voice was light.
Hearing this, Ji Nuan suddenly stood up and rushed over to the door. She stretched her hands out like a little wife who could not bear for him to leave and hugged his waist.
“What time will you be back?”
“Won’t be too late. I’ll look at a few documents and come back.” Mo Jingshen touched her hair.
Ji Nuan was used to how he always spoke to her like a child and buried her face in his embrace. “Then let’s stay here tonight. We’ll return to the Yu Garden tomorrow.”
Mo Jingshen’s hand paused on the top of her head.
“All right.” His voice was slightly warm.
Ji Nuan stood on her tiptoes as she kissed the corner of his lips. Just as she took a step back and was about to turn and tidy up the things they had bought, the arm around her waist tightened. The man directly and accurately pressed a kiss on her lips.
Unlike the passionate kiss on the bed last night, this was tender and gentle, melting Ji Nuan’s heart along with it. Her two hands held onto the collar of his shirt; her eyes fixed on his face.
After kissing for a moment, she did not forget that there was barely any time left and subconsciously pushed him away.
Instead of pushing him away, the man pressed her against the wall. Their tongues intertwined, and she forgot all about her original intentions.
Ji Nuan was carried up by him and placed on one of the cabinets by the door. She instinctively rushed to wrap her arms around his neck in fear of falling.
