In an instant her heart was seen through, she really felt some humiliation.

Watching Ji Nuan’s fearless expression, Ling Feifei gathered the following:

Complacency, arrogance, cockiness, and the sense that someone was supporting her provided her with confidence.

Who else aside from Mo Jingshen could be the one supporting Ji Nuan behind the scenes?

Ji Nuan did not turn to look at Ling Feifei’s expression. Instead, she picked up the thermos cup on her desk and opened the lid. Through the hot steam rising up, she quietly watched as the bell chimed and Professor Lin entered the classroom.

Ling Feifei finally returned to her seat. However, her gaze would occasionally flit toward Ji Nuan’s turtleneck.

Even though her collar was high, with an intentional gaze, Ling Feifei would occasionally catch the appearance of the hidden love marks.

Someone like President Mo who appeared cold, low-key, and difficult to approach, would he really... be that intense?

That night, Ji Nuan did not agree to Bai Wei’s invitation to shop together. When she left T University after class, she saw Feng Ling’s car parked outside.

It had been several days since she saw Feng Ling. Feng Ling appeared as per normal. Her hair had been trimmed slightly, and she was still thin and dressed in black. She seemed to be capable and clean as she stood by the car.

Ji Nuan said she wanted to head to the department store to shop. Feng Ling accompanied her but did not speak the entire way. It was as though she had reverted back to when she had first started working by Ji Nuan’s side.

Since Feng Ling was avoiding her, Ji Nuan did not intentionally probe at her wound to ask. She decided not to say much as well, and only occasionally asked if the clothes she was buying looked good. After receiving Feng Ling’s short opinion, she did not ask more.

At 6.00 p.m., Feng Ling sent Ji Nuan to the restaurant near Mo Jingshen’s branch company.

When she arrived, Mo Jingshen was already sitting there. It seemed like he had been waiting for quite a while.

She wasn’t sure if he had heard or sensed her, but before she approached, he was looking up.

Their eyes met. Ji Nuan watched as the man’s ink-black eyes appeared to light up like stars with a smile. He then stood up.

She approached as he tugged the chair out for her. He then removed her coat and took her bag from her, placing it by the side. His low voice concealed his doting smile: “Didn’t we agree to meet at 5.30 p.m.? Why are you late? After resting for a period, it seems like Feng Ling’s work efficiency has yet to come back.”

Ji Nuan raised her head to look at the man’s attractive jawline: “Earlier, I went with Feng Ling to shop at a department store. There were several attractive pieces, so it took a while to try them on.”

“The new clothes are in the car?”

“I didn’t buy them. After trying them on, I felt that they didn’t appear much different from what I usually wear, so I didn’t buy anything.” Ji Nuan sat down comfortably and received the menu from the waiter. While looking at it, she said, “You’ve been in T City for so many days, most of the time, you’ve been cooking personally at home. It’s fine if we eat out occasionally, but I still prefer the food you make.”

After ordering, she picked up a glass of a warm beverage for a sip. When the man sat down, he said with his clear and composed voice, “Someone is following you.”

“How did you realize it?” Ji Nuan did not turn back for a look. From the moment she left T University, she had already sensed it. She easily guessed who it was and decided not to pay much attention to the person. After casually shopping with Feng Ling and driving here, the person was actually still following her.

“Such a common way of following someone. Her car is parked right behind Feng Ling’s. Who is it?” Mo Jingshen calmly asked.

Ji Nuan placed her cup down and smiled lightly: “It should be Ling Feifei. She suspects that I’ve seduced you, a married man. She most likely wants to take some pictures for evidence to threaten me. Oh, right, and perhaps she’ll look for you to see if she can gain any benefits.”

Mo Jingshen appeared amused as he watched her impatient expression: “The difference in the quality of intelligence between the school and the workplace is truly worlds apart. You sure are capable of enduring.”

“What else can I do but tolerate. You were right. Being too serious with this sort of child’s play will lower my intelligence.” Ji Nuan watched the man’s smiling eyes and pursed her lips to say, “There are only two more weeks to go. After enduring T University’s school anniversary and one more exam, I can return to Hai City.” ”

Mo Jingshen raised his brows: “You plan on attending the school anniversary?”

“I’ve never participated in something like this when I was a student. Since there’s the opportunity for it now, I’ll attend. Earlier, I was planning to buy the clothes for the anniversary. I don’t want to be too high profile, but I don’t want to be too casual either. After looking for half a day, I still couldn’t find anything suitable.”

The man watched her and smiled lightly: “I’ll be returning to Hai City tomorrow night. I’ll accompany you to shop today?”

“It’s all right, there’s no rush. I can just pick something from my closet.” Ji Nuan saw from the corner of her eyes that Ling Feifei’s car was still parked outside. The window was lowered to reveal a small gap. Ji Nuan suspected that she was secretly taking photos and did not turn back for a closer look. She picked up her cup and blew at the hot beverage: “How is it on my Dad’s side?”

After seeing Shen Mu the day before, Ji Hongwen indeed gave Ji Nuan a call. However, he only said a few words of concern before hanging up. Right now, Ji Mengran’s location could not be confirmed. It was strange that there was no news from her, especially if she really had not met with an accident. However, Mo Jingshen had clearly checked that Ji Mengran did not board the flight.

It was unreasonable for someone to simply disappear, especially right when the flight met with an accident.

In this situation, it was unsuitable for Ji Nuan to make too many calls to inquire. After all, even though Ji Nuan was not the instigator for Ji Mengran’s trip abroad, she was still the main reason.

“He is still waiting for further news. His emotions are much more stable than you imagine. There’s no need to worry.”

“My father is good at suppressing and concealing his emotions. Otherwise, it wouldn’t take me so long to doubt my own birth.”

At this moment, the waiter brought a bowl of borscht onto the table. Mo Jingshen scooped the soup into a small bowl and placed it before Ji Nuan, his deep-set eyes turning warm: “There’s no need to inquire too much into everything. The most important thing is to stabilize your own mentality.”

Ji Nuan watched his handsome face and indicated toward outside: “If that mentally-ill little lady brings the photos she has taken to threaten you, a married man, or to threaten me, if such a senseless thing were to happen, what do you think I should do?”

Ji Nuan did not wish to affect the mood of their dinner with Ji Hongwen’s issues, so she took the initiative to change the topic.

The man reached out to caress her hair with a low chuckle. “Will you let her regret the past three months of having her nose in the air, or will you take the official status of ‘Mrs. Mo’ to slap her in the face?”

Ji Nuan took a sip of her soup and replied composedly, “That will depend on the degree to which she is asking for death.”
