When they finally left the hotel and got on the car, Ji Nuan felt that her entire body and mind could finally relax.
“Last night, you were caught in the rain and didn’t get much rest. Go back and have a good sleep.” Mo Jingshen’s hand brushed past Ji Nuan’s head. “Head directly back to the Yu Garden.”
Hearing the two words, Yu Garden, Ji Nuan’s expression carried some pent-up emotions.
Without having to explain, Mo Jingshen immediately caught the flash of worry in her eyes.
“Don’t worry. For the sake of being able to restrain my freedom, he used the method of kidnapping you to threaten me. The helpers at the Yu Garden must have been taken away by him. No one was harmed.”
The man’s voice was mild and quiet, but it allowed the heavy worry in Ji Nuan’s heart to finally settle.
Thankfully, Auntie Chen and the helpers were not harmed.
“The security at the Yu Garden is so thorough, if Auntie Chen hadn’t opened the doors, those people would not have been able to enter in the first place, right?” Ji Nuan asked.
Mo Jingshen glanced at her and held her small hand. “Forget it. You should follow me to the office, or you might worry even more and won’t be able to sleep well.”
“I won’t. I’m just thinking about how those people managed to enter the Yu Garden.” Ji Nuan thought deeply. “Could it be, Director Mo had gone to the Yu Garden personally?”
“If he hadn’t gone personally, Auntie Chen definitely would not have opened those doors.” Mo Jingshen’s tone was calm. “This event can’t be blamed on her. I won’t do anything to her. Calm your heart.”
She was seen through again.
This man was truly terrifying.
Ji Nuan smiled. “There is no way you can blame her. It’s good that you’re not implicating her…”
“Little schemer, if you wish to protect Auntie Chen, just say it directly.” Mo Jingshen glanced at her; his heavy voice reverberating from his throat. “Follow me to the company first. During my meeting, my office and breakroom will be yours.”
Ji Nuan actually quite looked forward to being able to sleep in his breakroom openly. However, she still kept on a face of innocence. “Will I disturb you if I’m there?”
Speaking of which, Mo Jingshen truly understood her better than she had imagined.
He knew she did not wish to return to the Yu Garden right now. Even if she returned to Ao Lan International, she most likely would not sleep well.
Mo Jingshen’s handsome brows rose. “You can disturb me by sleeping? Will you sleepwalk into my embrace during my meeting and remove your clothes?”
Ji Nuan pursed her lips.
This was most likely the sleepwalking great Boss Mo hoped to see, wasn’t it?
“If you don’t mind those people in the meeting looking, I naturally won’t mind trying.” Ji Nuan’s lips were always stubborn like this, refusing to lose in any way.
The man’s arm tightened around her waist as his voice rang by her ears. “After last night, Mrs. Mo’s knowledge in this area has really made me reevaluate you. There is no rush to bury yourself in my embrace during my meeting. As for your other request last night, I can immediately satisfy you tonight.”
Mo Jingshen’s seductive voice whispered against her earlobe as his finger rubbed against her lips absentmindedly.
The ‘request’ from last night…
Could not be spoken out loud.
The thick face Ji Nuan was still holding onto earlier instantly reached its boiling point. She reached out and slapped his hand away from her burning face.
“I don’t have any requests! That was because I was in a hurry to help you! Right now, it’s already expired!” In an instant, his fingertips entered her lips, she opened her mouth and bit down with force.
The man chuckled softly. “Isn’t it too late to be embarrassed?”
Ji Nuan angrily bit down once more on his finger but felt that this action was somehow sexual and instantly pushed his hand away. She turned away to look out of the window and regain her composure.
However, she found that Mo Jingshen’s laughter was really charming to listen to.
With his voice by her ear, it was as though there was warmth spreading across her back and gradually surrounding her. It was slightly husky, magnetic, and warm, and had a pull that gradually tugged her closer with every passing second and minute.
——
Mo Corporation.
Mo Jingshen did not take a moment to rest. By the time they arrived at the company, it was already past ten in the afternoon. He directly went to start his meeting.
Ji Nuan’s heart ached when she recalled his torment last night. However, she knew he was always serious toward his work and did not disturb him. She also knew her boundaries. She stepped into his office.
In today’s meeting, all of the management staff found CEO Mo to be slightly more tired than usual. Although it was not too obvious, they could still notice it.
Yet, despite it, CEO Mo’s mood appeared to be rather good. He was not as cold and stern as he usually was. As he listened to the reports from each department, the curve of his lips was even slightly gentle.
All of the management’s heart was startled. After all, during the report, two departments had some problems.
When they saw CEO Mo’s attitude, they were not sure if it was the calm before the storm or if something was about to happen. CEO Mo actually appeared amiable in the company.
When the meeting finally ended, as management walked out of the meeting room, someone quietly whispered, “Isn’t CEO Mo’s mood quite good today? It’s so rare that a management meeting would end so quickly. He’s letting us leave after just an hour?”
“It’s likely because someone is waiting for him in his office…”
“Who is it? Which god can actually make him so easy to speak to? It even led our weekly management meeting to end half an hour earlier for the first time…”
“It seems to be CEO Mo’s wife…”

Shen Mu was going into the meeting room to clear up the files. When he saw CEO Mo exit, he rushed forward.
“CEO Mo, Secretary An has emailed her resignation. Should it be handed to the HR department or shall I directly approve of it?” Shen Mu quietly asked.
Mo Jingshen replied without much warmth, “Directly approve of it.”
“All right, I understand.”
“Has Ji Nuan eaten?” Mo Jingshen glanced at the time and asked with a deep voice.
Shen Mu nodded. “Earlier, at 11:00 a.m., I wanted to send someone to a nearby hotel to purchase her a nutritious lunch. However, she said that she would be fine with the employee’s meal. I followed her orders and sent a set of lunch from the cafeteria. She should be almost done with it by now.”
“Employee’s meal?” Mo Jingshen’s brows moved slightly. He did not speak further and entered the elevator.
Heading to the office, Mo Jingshen pushed open the door.
He saw Ji Nuan quietly sitting on the sofa. She held a disposable lunch box in her hand, which contained some white rice and simple dishes of meat and vegetables. Although Mo Corporation’s employee’s meals were nutritious, they were still on the simple side. It was even more typical than homemade food.
He glanced at the lunch box in her hand and then saw the satisfied expression on Ji Nuan’s face. A hint of gentleness appeared in Mo Jingshen’s usually calm eyes. “How does it feel eating the employee’s meal?”
Ji Nuan was originally eating happily and did not notice the movements by the door. When she heard his voice, she subconsciously moved to stand up and almost dropped the lunch box.
She rushed to use her chopsticks to press the lunch box down, staring at the man, who had suddenly returned, in shock. She then picked up a small piece of fried meat with her chopsticks for him to see. “The dishes are not bad! They taste especially good!”
