Chapter 136: Her Maiden Heart Was Moved to the Point of Insomnia
After hearing Ji Nuan’s words of approval, Mo Jingshen approached her, his gaze landing on the other lunch box next to her.
Ji Nuan pointed at it with her chopsticks. “Earlier, I had Shen Mu send another portion up for you to have after your meeting. I didn’t expect it would end so quickly, but that’s good. If you have it now, it’ll still be warm. But be careful, it slightly hot.”
Mo Jingshen looked at Ji Nuan. Although she was only eating a simple, employee’s meal, she appeared very content.
“Is it really that good?” He asked, chuckling softly.
Ji Nuan nodded seriously. “En, en, it’s no wonder so many people are wrecking their minds to get into the Mo Corporation. Even the quality of the employees’ meals is so good. Just from this alone, you can tell the treatment of employees’ must be outstanding in every area!”
While chewing, she raised her head to look at him.
The man was dressed in a black suit; he had lost the slightly disheveled and gloomy appearance from yesterday, looking eye-catching and attractive as he stood in the bright office.
Mo Jingshen picked up the lunch box and sat down by her side. He took another glance at the way she was eating and smiled. Quietly, he sat and ate with her.
The office door was tightly shut. Otherwise, had anyone caught an eye of this scene, their jaw would surely have dropped.
Mo Corporation’s CEO had set aside a project worth several hundred billion US dollars to accompany his wife for a simple employee’s lunch. He sat lazily on the office couch and even occasionally picked the small fried meat she liked to place them in her lunch box. As he did so, he said, “If you enjoy it so much, have Shen Mu send another portion up for you.”
“There’s no need, this is enough. If I eat any more, I’ll definitely grow fat.”
“I’ll still want you even if you’re fat. What are you afraid of?”
“No, no, I’m already full. My stomach is about to explode…”
“You don’t want any more stir-fry potato?”
“… uh, I’ll have a few more bites.”
“Do you want the grilled vegetarian tofu?”
“…”
After their meal, the office phone rang. A secretary informed him that a representative was waiting to discuss a collaboration deal with CEO Mo.
To avoid disturbing his work, Ji Nuan stood up and entered the breakroom.
She had just taken one step in when she heard Mo Jingshen speaking from outside. “You were caught in the rain last night. Take a warm shower before you sleep. I’ll go wake you up after I’m done with work.”
Ji Nuan raised her hand and made a gesture of ‘OK’ before entering.
Previously, for the sake of coaxing him back to the Yu Garden, she had visited his breakroom once.
After this period of time, Ji Nuan finally noticed that this break room had the same, simple and cool-toned design as Ao Lan International.
Grandfather Mo had a hand in the Yu Garden design, whereas from Ao Lan International and this breakroom, she could clearly see Mo Jingshen’s style.
Simple, subdued, and mild.
Because this was a place Mo Jingshen frequently used in the past, for some inexplicable reason, the slightly cool colors stirred up feelings of intimacy and warmth in Ji Nuan.
After being drenched in the rain last night, she managed to take a simple shower in the hotel bathroom. Right now, both her head and body were slightly itchy. As it didn’t feel right to sleep like this, she opened Mo Jingshen’s closet intending to borrow and wear one of his shirts.
Yet, upon opening the closet, she was startled to discover that half of the space originally belonging to Mo Jingshen was now taken up by women’s clothing.
They were all brand new! Thin ones, thick ones; long ones, short ones; innerwear and outerwear; all women’s clothing!
Ji Nuan took a pair out in disbelief and discovered that it was in her size. She then flipped through several others and found that they were all in her size.
She searched for something thin and suitable for sleeping in. Holding it in her arms, she considered that Mo Jingshen was busy in his office and picked up her phone to ask him indirectly through message.
[When did you fill the closet with so many clothes for me? I was really startled when I opened it.]
After a minute, she saw he did not reply and suspected he was still busy, so she left to take a shower.
After showering and drying her hair, she walked out in the clothes Mo Jingshen had prepared for her. Carrying the fragrant scent of the shower gel, Ji Nuan threw herself on the giant bed in the breakroom.
She picked up her phone and saw the reply Mo Jingshen had left her several minutes ago.
[The day after you wore my shirt.]
Ji Nuan stared in surprise at her phone screen.
She confirmed that he wrote ‘the day after.’
The day after?
His actions were so fast?
Back then, he did not even intend to move back to the main bedroom. Although they were getting along better, they were not too intimate. Then, he had already made plans in case she decided to stay in his breakroom?
Exactly how scheming was this man?
Ji Nuan really wanted to reply to him but was worried about disturbing his work, especially because he seemed to have a lot to rush through for the afternoon. She resisted the urge and placed her phone down.
After turning around to lay flat on the bed, her gaze occasionally shifted to the closet. Her hands were intertwined and placed on her chest, and as she twiddled her thumbs mindlessly, she flew into the clouds. Strangely, she felt as though everything that was happening was unreal.
She then picked up the phone placed by her pillow once more, looking at the reply he had sent her.
After staring at it for a long while, she would suddenly smile, place her phone down, and bury her head in the pillow to secretly giggle.
What do I do?
Great Boss Mo’s ability to tease her was becoming harder and harder to keep in check. Just a few clothing and a message were sufficient to stir her emotions.
Ji Nuan turned again on the bed. She felt that it was possible she would not be able to sleep, but after going through such trauma last night, her mind was uncomfortably unsettled. She decided to shut her eyes tightly to count sheep, forcing herself to sleep.
One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep…
… ninety-eight Mo Jingshens, ninety-nine Mo Jingshens, one hundred Mo Jingshens, one hundred and one Mo Jingshens…
Ji Nuan abruptly grabbed a pillow and pressed it down on her head forcefully.
She was done for; she couldn’t sleep!
The man outside was still focused on his work, but her teenage heart was moved to the point of insomnia.
Ahhhhhhh…

Inside the Mo Corporation’s staff office, a spirited discussion was unfolding.
“I heard that Assistant Shen sent two sets of employee’s meals to the CEO’s office today! You guess, who were those for?”
“It can’t be Mrs. Mo, can it? I heard that Mrs. Mo used to be the famous eldest young miss from the Ji family. Since young, she’s had all the exotic delicacies she could possibly want. Everything she’s had was all high-quality. Regardless of how simply she ate, they must still have been handmade by helpers or chefs with impressive cooking skills. There’s no way she would be willing to eat an employee’s meal!”
“You can’t say that for sure. Our company’s employee’s meal is clean and delicious. Even CEO Mo eats them occasionally when he is busy. Mrs. Mo is also human. It isn’t that strange for her to be eating it with CEO Mo in his office…”
“No way, she definitely won’t eat…”
“Do you want to make a bet…”
All of a sudden, Shen Mu stood in front of the office door and coughed, clearing his throat. He sternly said, “What is everyone foolishly discussing here? Is all the work in your hands completed? Do you have too much free time?”
In an instant, the employees scattered, dashing away speedily—
Chapter 137: Whether or Not My Body Can Take It, You’ll Find Out Soon Enough
In the evening, approaching after-work hours.
Mo Corporation, the CEO’s office.
After receiving a satisfying collaboration contract, the partner company’s representative politely stayed to chat for several minutes before finally leaving.
The office returned to its silence. Mo Jingshen’s gaze shifted toward the breakroom, and when the secretary and assistant finally finished their summary of the day’s work, he glanced at the time and closed the file in his hands.
He approached the breakroom’s door and noticed it was quiet inside. He guessed Ji Nuan must have fallen asleep.
The door was quietly pushed open.
On the soft and big bed, Ji Nuan was sleeping deeply. Her soft and smooth hair spread across the pillow, and her sleeping face was relaxed and peaceful. Her phone was placed right next to her pillow where she could easily retrieve it.
He could sense that before falling asleep, she must have fussed about whether or not to reply to him. Mo Jingshen smiled, picking up her phone and placing it by the bedside table.
Ji Nuan slept too sweetly. Mo Jingshen sat down by the bed, watching her without making any movement. He quietly watched her like this.
Last night, during the heavy thunderstorm, this little woman seemed to have ascended from heaven as she climbed up toward the balcony. The scene of her throwing herself in his embrace while carrying a wounded body replayed in his mind over and over again.
He watched her for a long while and noticed that the small abrasion on Ji Nuan’s face had mostly faded.
Mo Jingshen held one of her hands, turning it over to scan the wounds on her palm. Although they were light and not considered serious, they were slightly swollen because they were not properly disinfected.
He stood up and left the breakroom, ordering Shen Mu to buy some disinfecting medicine.
Not long later, after receiving the medicine, Mo Jingshen returned to the breakroom.
The room was completely quiet. He could only barely pick up the light breathing sounds Ji Nuan made. It had a slow frequency, and just by listening, one would feel the peace in this room was a rare getaway from the world.
The medicine that Mo Jingshen had Shen Mu specially head out to buy did not cause the stinging pain typical disinfectants would. Yet, as the powder was lightly scattered on Ji Nuan’s palm, the slightly ticklish and painful sensation still caused her to knit her brows in her sleep.
“En…” She instinctively wanted to shrink her hand back, uncomfortably releasing a soft whimper.
Mo Jingshen held onto her hand to prevent her from moving away. Just as Ji Nuan’s movements became more prominent, he bent down and gently kissed her lips. Finally, as the meltingly-numb sensation on her lips distracted her from the slight pain on her palm, her brows relaxed, and she fell into a peaceful sleep once more. Her cherry-petal-colored lips curved into a slight smile as though she was having a beautiful dream.
When the little woman was asleep, she appeared especially sweet and seductive. If it was not because both his hands were busy, and he still had to continue applying the disinfectant, Mo Jingshen would not have minded pressing her down for a deeper kiss.
He slowly leaned back, holding her hand gently as he took his time scattering the white powder across the small abrasions. The wound was not serious enough to require stitches or bandages, but the simple process of disinfecting could not be neglected.
The clothes Ji Nuan wore were thin and loose. Mo Jingshen easily pushed her sleeves up and applied the medicine on her elbows as well.
As he tugged the bottom of her clothes aside, the man paused in his actions.
After showering, she had worn this pair of clothes. Underneath it, she did not wear anything so everything could be seen…
Mo Jingshen suppressed the passion ignited in his eyes. After rubbing the medicine on her leg, he placed it on the bedside table.
Then, he lowered his gaze.
As the blanket on her was pushed aside, as was the clothing on her lower half, the cold had caused the little woman to shrink both feet toward herself instinctually.
Last night, both of them did not rest well. Initially, he should have let her rest longer. However, as this scene was far too provoking, Mo Jingshen’s powerful restrain that worked against the aphrodisiac last night almost instantly dissipated.
He leaned down, picking up a few strands of her hair to breath in the scent of her shampoo and shower gel mixed with the light scent on her body.
Mo Jingshen curved his lips. One kiss landed on her hair, before he bent down once more, kissing the snow-white space between her brows. He slowly moved down, kissing her small yet straight nose, before unhurriedly pressing his lips against hers. The kiss from earlier on was wholly insufficient.
The soft and sweet sensation caused the man to submit to the sudden surge of his desire. He gradually deepened the kiss.
Regardless of how deeply she was sleeping, the sensation still caused Ji Nuan to open her eyes. She was still half-asleep as she watched the man above her dazedly. Seeing that it was Mo Jingshen kissing her, she did not resist. As their lips parted slightly, she smiled in a daze. “You’re done working ah…”
“En.” Mo Jingshen’s actions did not stop at all. His palms caressed the softness of her breasts through her thin garment as he deepened the kiss more. His other hand wrapped around her waist.
His lips shifted across her cheek, connecting with her lips, before moving down onto her neck. He sensed Ji Nuan falling back asleep under him and bit down on her collarbone. It caused her body to shiver abruptly. As she opened her eyes, she pressed her hands against her own head in a daze.
“What time is it?” She asked huskily as she had just woken up.
“It’s already after-work hours.” The man continued pressing kisses on her collarbone as he pleased, with more intensity than he did previously. His voice was as husky as hers.
Ji Nuan was just about to sit up when she discovered she could not. It was only then that she finally reacted.
What exactly is Mo Jingshen doing!
She abruptly lost all drowsiness. Before she could even speak up, the man’s hand had already moved under her clothing.
His burning hot palm rubbed against her back before moving up, holding her entire body firmly in his embrace. Under her slightly astonished gaze, he held her neck and bent down to kiss her heavily. “Finally awake?”
“En, awake…” Ji Nuan was in shock. She realized they were still in his breakroom, in other words, in his office. She mumbled against his lips, “What are you doing…”
“What do you think I’m doing?” He chuckled lightly and gave her a forceful kiss sufficient to erase her awareness of what day it was.
As the man’s actions became more and more out of line, Ji Nuan moaned from the stimulation. She softly asked, “You didn’t sleep much last night, and you headed to the office immediately today. Can your body take it?”
She meant that she was concerned about his lack of sleep. After suffering through such a tormenting night and then working so productively, she wanted him to use this rare free time to have a good rest.
Yet, when these words entered the man’s ears, they were twisted into something else. He softly chuckled, his voice carrying several hints of warning. “Whether or not my body can take it, you’ll find out soon enough.”
