Ji Nuan had been working in the studio all day and, as usual, had dinner parties with her business partners in the evening.

The previous several dinner parties had been declined by Xia Tian. However, today, the heads of BGY and WK would come to negotiate the land purchase agreement with them, so she had to show up.

At eight o’clock in the evening, in the VIP room of Hai City Royal Club, Xiao Ba and another assistant who got a little tipsy were singing karaoke. Ji Nuan was discussing the cooperation details with the head of WK. At first, the people of the two companies wanted her to have a few drinks with them. However, she didn’t look well today, so when she asked to replace liquor with juice, they agreed.

Ji Nuan was the only one who didn’t drink in this room. At this time, Xia Tian came back and signaled her with her eyes to go out to avoid drinking. Ji Nuan couldn’t stand Xiao Ba and the other people’s terrible singing. Besides, the heads of the two companies kept drawing near, sitting right next to her, or “casually,” putting their hands on her waist. Getting Xia Tian’s signal, she got up and walked out of the room.

When she went out, Feng Ling happened to call her.

“Mrs. Mo, I’m sorry. My task here has been delayed for more than three months. I will return to Hai City in half a month. Is there anything I can bring you?”

“You’ve just finished your task, so you can take a break in the US before you come back. I’m safe here. I hired you to protect me in the US, didn’t I? Now Su Zhilan and the Su family have both disappeared, and Director Mo is not planning anything against me. I have returned to a normal and peaceful life. You don’t have to be in a hurry to come back.”

“I signed a three-year agreement with Mr. Mo. It has been less than a year. Of course, I’ll get back as soon as possible.”

“OK then. If you insist on coming back at the time I am relocating my studio, you’ll have to do a lot of hard jobs. You’re a real busy bee.”

Feng Ling laughed. “I’ll bring gifts for Xiao Ba and the others. What do you like?”

“I just want you to come back safe. By the way, you haven’t had a haircut lately, have you? Didn’t I tell you to keep longer hair last time?”

“...I did. It’s not convenient to keep long hair.”

“You can wear a ponytail. Why do you like short hair so much?”

“As the saying goes, hair is three thousand pieces of trouble silk. I feel comfortable with short hair, and I feel lighter.”

Ji Nuan raised her eyebrows and looked down at her long, slightly wavy hair hanging down her chest. After hanging up the call, she touched her hair, wondering whether she should cut her hair short. Look how much Feng Ling liked her short hair!

This idea popped up in her mind. She turned into the bathroom and suddenly spotted a familiar figure entering the men’s room. She paused.

Not long after, a tall man walked out of the men’s room. He froze when he saw Ji Nuan.

“Mrs. Mo?”

“Shen Mu?” Ji Nuan asked and couldn’t help glancing at the doorway of the men’s room and looking around.

Although she didn’t ask, she thought whenever Mo Jingshen showed up in Hai City, Shen Mu would be there, and vice versa. Now that Shen Mu was here, Mo Jingshen might be around.

“We came here to see a business partner, and CEO Mo is in the private room. Why are you here?” Smelling no liquor on Ji Nuan, Shen Mu thought she came here with her friends or for CEO Mo.

“I’m here seeing my clients,” Ji Nuan explained briefly. However, hearing Mo Jingshen was here, she glanced at the other private rooms.

The VIP rooms of the club were all on this floor. The club’s VIP rooms were large and well-equipped, so there were only three of them in this club.

Seeing there were mostly men in the other two VIP rooms, she asked, “Is it just you and him here? Is there anyone else with you?”

“No, our business partner chose this place tonight, and only I came with CEO Mo. The others in the room are all staff of our business partner, so there aren’t many people there. CEO Mo rarely attends this kind of dinner party, but we’ve been business partners for many years, and their president is on good terms with CEO Mo. Also, we’ll continue to carry out other international cooperation projects in the future. Mrs. Mo, do you want to go in for a drink?”

“No. Call me when you are going to leave,” Ji Nuan said gently.

Shen Mu was a little confused. CEO Mo had been busy with work at the company these months, but Shen Mu didn’t know whether CEO Mo went back home or went somewhere else after leaving the company. He didn’t know what happened between Ji Nuan and CEO Mo and thought that since Ji Nuan was Mrs. Mo. if CEO Mo was here, she could certainly enter his room if she wanted to, and no one could stop her.

But Ji Nuan had rejected, so he just nodded. “OK, no problem.”

...

When Ji Nuan went back to the room, the heads of BGY and WK saw she looked better and poured her a glass of fruit wine, inviting her to have a drink with them. Ji Nuan declined with a smile and continued to talk with them about the contract. Fortunately, she brought Xia Tian and Xiao Ba with her today, who were good at enlivening the atmosphere. When Ji Nuan didn’t want to drink, Xia Tian would avoid embarrassment by shifting the subject.

At half-past ten in the evening, she was about to leave when she received Shen Mu’s call.

“Mrs. Mo, we’re coming back. Will you go with us?”

After receiving the call, Ji Nuan said goodbye to the heads of BGY and WK and said a few words to Xia Tian and Xiao Ba before she left several minutes in advance.

When she came out of the club, she saw Mo Jingshen’s black Ghost parked in front of the door. Shen Mu was waiting for her out of the car, but she didn’t see Mo Jingshen.

Ji Nuan came over, and Shen Mu handed her the keys to the car. “Mrs. Mo, you didn’t drink tonight, did you?”

“No, I didn’t.”

“CEO Mo is drunk. I was going to drive him home, but my girlfriend called me. She has a stomachache and asked me to accompany her to the doctor. I was going to call the driver to send Mr. Mo home, but since you didn’t drink, can you take Mr. Mo back? You live together anyway.”

Ji Nuan took the key. “OK, just go to see your girlfriend and leave him to me.”

With that, she suddenly paused, looked at the car, and then at the closed rear door. “Did he drink much?”

“Yes, he drank a lot. CEO Mo has always been a good drinker, but he rarely drinks so much. Perhaps it was because his friends were here today, so he didn’t refuse any offered toast. If it were before, he wouldn’t have drunk as much, and be really drunk. I think it is because he is recently too tired.”
