During the night, Ji Nuan woke up suddenly from sleep.

Mo Jingshen who was reading the documents of his company immediately found out she woke up. He threw the documents on the nightstand and hugged the little woman who had just woken up and sat up.

“What’s wrong?” The man’s low and comforting voice rang in her ear.

Ji Nuan’s fingers couldn’t help but tremble, nor could her shoulders; her mind went blank.

“Blood..” Her eyes were kind of straight as if she couldn’t see anything, staring at a point in the room. Mo Jingshen followed her stare, only to find that her eyes were not focused at all, as if she had not quite woken up from her dream, but she looked frightened.

“I saw a lot of blood.. Someone.. pointed a gun at me..”

No matter how courageous she was, she was just a little woman living in a peaceful world. Although she willingly shielded him from the bullet with her body, it didn’t mean she wasn’t scared.

Even the people of XI Base would also be scared after a narrow escape because that was human nature.

“It’s Ok. It’s all over. It’s just a dream, a dream. Good girl, don’t be afraid.” Mo Jingshen gently patted her back to comfort her. Knowing that she just had a nightmare and hadn’t truly woken up, he whispered in a very low voice lest she would really wake up and then be more scared.

Ji Nuan put her head on his shoulder, held her breath, and said hoarsely, “So much blood..”

So much blood.

It was all her blood.

Mo Jingshen held her in his arms and pressed his lips on her ears, comforting her until she closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep again.

——

She had nightmares for three nights before getting rid of them and being able to sleep without waking up from them. Every time she dreamed of something terrible, there was always Mo Jingshen’s soothing voice in her ear, and she became more and more dependent on him.

In the daytime, Mo Jingshen would take two or three hours off for company meetings, during which Ji Nuan would either sit on the bed alone and cuddle up in the quilt, not allowing anyone to touch her, or stand alone at the window in a daze, stubbornly waiting for him to come back.

But as soon as Mo Jingshen came back, she would throw herself into his arms with a happy smile and refuse to let go of him.

Every time Auntie Chen saw Ji Nuan ran into Mr. Mo’s arms ignoring anyone else, she would cover her eyes with her hands and walk away.

Alas, Dr. Qin had said that Madam would recover soon anyway.

Now she was like a sweet burden to Mr. Mo.

It seemed that after they “divorced,” Madam hadn’t been so close to Mr. Mo, but who said Mrs. Mo no longer loved him? When she lost her memory, he was the only one that she wanted to be close to, and even trusted and depended on, which showed that in fact, she could not live without him at all.

“Mr. Mo, when you were at the company meeting, Madam refused to have lunch. We just went to reheat the meal.” Auntie Chen went downstairs and brought up lunch.

Most of the time these days, he fed her or accompanied her to watch her eat, but as long as he was not around, she didn’t even drink a mouthful of water, let alone take a meal.

At first, Auntie Chen thought she was just being childish, but then she gradually found that Ji Nuan was just scared. She was guarding herself against anyone she didn’t know as if she were afraid of eating something dangerous, so she would not open her mouth to receive a mouthful of food from others.

Auntie Chen couldn’t let her off guard and could only turn to Mo Jingshen for help.

“Put the meal on the table and I’ll feed her,” Mo Jingshen said and patted Ji Nuan’s shoulder. “Sit down. Have a meal first.”

“Why don’t you take me with you wherever you go? I don’t want to stay here alone..,” Ji Nuan said depressed..

He had thought it over before he came back from the company.

“Ok,” He said gently. “I’m not going to my company but stay at home with you. I won’t leave you, Ok?”

“Really?” Ji Nuan raised her head. Obviously, she had some difficulty in understanding the words of ‘company’ and ‘home.’ In her disordered memory, she didn’t remember that she was still the person in charge of MN Group. She just instinctively wanted to find a sense of security in the Yu Garden.

She has been out and toiled on alone for three years. Now she could finally justifiably put down her sense of responsibility and have a rest.

“Yes.” Mo Jingshen patted her head. “Now, can you eat?”

Ji Nuan nodded hesitantly.

She liked to eat by herself these two days because every bite she ate would get his rewards, such as giving her a look of appreciation or encouragement. Every time she ate an extra dish or a small bowl of rice, he would smile at her, and then she would proudly shove food into her mouth.

He sat next to her and watched her eating. From time to time, he would take a tissue to wipe soup stains or rice off the corner of her mouth.

Shine Group’s operations were already on track. And as he often shuttled between Hai City and Los Angeles, there were special personnel handling his work for him while he was absent no matter if it was in Shine’s headquarters in Los Angeles or the branch in China. Today, he declared in the executive meeting that he would seldom come to the company in person for a while. If there were any documents or work that needed to be handled by him, the employees could have a video conference with him or ask Shen Mu to send the documents to the Yu Garden to be handled, but he would not appear in the company for a short period of time.

He had to be with her now and couldn’t let her already unstable mood to be affected in any way. He must accompany her all the time. Otherwise, he couldn’t be relieved.

As for MN Group, when Ji Nuan came to Los Angeles for business several months ago, she had called Xia Tian back to the company. Xia Tian’s baby was taken care of by a nanny and she would take charge of the company temporarily. With the help of other executives of MN Group, the company ran stably. Although the employees had asked why Ji Nuan didn’t show up these months, they were soon convinced by Xia Tian’s ability in managing the company.

Now, Mo Jingshen and Ji Nuan could finally have a sweet vacation.
