From Mo Jingshen’s point of view, this one movement was akin to lighting another flame in his already darkened and heavy eyes.

“You’re doing this on purpose?” He hoarsely bit against her lip.

“…Earlier, I only startled awake because you weren’t by my side. I’m still really sleepy.” Ji Nuan moved her face away and pressed it against his chest. It was true that he had let her off after one round today. However, he was still really forceful and heavy. Even though she had already showered and slept some, her body still felt unreasonably sensitive in his arms.

Could it be that because he always did it for so long in the past, and had suddenly let her off today, she was actually unused to it?

A few words actually made her so sensitive…

Mo Jingshen’s gaze landed on her face. His ink-black eyes carried hints of suppressed laughter as he gently patted her back. Seeing that Ji Nuan was curled up in his arms unmoving, he did not insist for them to continue and only gently caressed her head, indicating for her to put her mind at ease and sleep.

Two days later, Ji Nuan received Auntie Qin’s call. Auntie Qin was the Ji family’s helper and had watched Ji Nuan, and Ji Mengran grow up together.

“Eldest Miss, Mr. Ji plans to send the Second Miss abroad. He has even booked the flight tickets and made arrangements with the school. He has been keeping Second Miss locked at home, and even arranged for a security guard to watch her. It’s been days since she ate anything, yet Mr. Ji insists on sending her there. He won’t let her stay in Hai City anymore, no matter who tries to beg for her. Your relationship with the Second Miss is the best. Mr. Ji usually listens to your suggestions as well. Please, quickly come and beg for her…” Auntie Qin’s voice came from the phone. Her heartache and anxiety could be easily heard.

Perhaps, Auntie Qin was the only one in the Ji family who still did not realize how dire Ji Nuan and Ji Mengran’s relationship had become.

These were the children she had personally watch grow up. Right now, their relationship was no longer as close as it used to be. The conflicts in-between were not something that could easily be explained. Perhaps, allowing Auntie Qin to maintain her beautiful impression of them was not a bad thing.

Ji Nuan did not explain. She only said: “I’ll give Dad a call to understand the situation. By the way Auntie Qin, there’s something I want to ask you.”

“What is it, Eldest Miss?”

“Twenty years ago, when my mom married into the Ji family, you were already working there, weren’t you?”

“That’s right.”

“Then, when my mom married in, was there anyone she interacted with frequently? For example, any men, or anyone whom she was especially close to?” If she weren’t speaking with Auntie Qin, who have watched her grow up, Ji Nuan would never be so direct with her questions.

“This…” Auntie Qin was quiet for a long moment. Ji Nuan sensitively felt that her question had startled her. Auntie Qin only answered after a long while: “Eldest Miss, I’m not sure about this, nor have I heard anything about it. When madam married into the Ji family, I had only just begun working here. There are a lot of things I’m not too clear on…”

“I understand. Thank you, Auntie Qin.” Ji Nuan caught the pause in her words and did not ask more. She hung up the phone.

Across from her, Mo Jingshen had heard the voice from her phone and spoke up: “Your father plans to send Ji Mengran abroad?”
