He stood less than two meters away from her, then came over and sat down.

Mo Jingshen didn’t seem to mind such a small restaurant at all and sat opposite her. For some reason, Ji Nuan felt the beef noodle restaurant that appeared to be smaller because of the crowd suddenly became exceptionally quiet, and the man sitting opposite her appeared so close to her.

The handsome man with chiseled, perfect features sat close to her.

Mo Jingshen.

Ji Nuan was thinking for some time, he was almost everywhere in her world. As long as she was not busy at work or took off her guard, he would appear in her mind.

And then she gradually got used to the fact that this man had disappeared from her world. She knew clearly that he had gone entirely from her world.

Even the name of Mo Jingshen, she hadn’t heard for a long time before she returned to Hai City.

The beef noodles hadn’t been served, and the waiter brought a jug of the little restaurant’s homemade lemonade and poured it into a clean glass.

Ji Nuan didn’t speak, and Mo Jingshen put the lemonade in front of her. She turned her eyes to him, took the water, and still remained silent.

Pouring two glasses of lemonade, the waiter turned to leave.

Seeing her rubbing the glass gently but not drinking the lemonade, Mo Jingshen placidly gazed at her with his deep, dark eyes. In this narrow, small restaurant, he finally had a chance to speak to her.

“You’ve grown up a lot, but your heart is still not hard enough.” His voice was gentle and low but was loud enough for her to hear every word clearly.

Ji Nuan took a look at him as if surprised at his conclusion. “What do you mean?”

The smile on the man’s face spread. He still deeply gazed at her, and his voice was tinged with a softness she could not understand. “I’ve been waiting for you to vent, to give you a chance to vent, but apparently I was wrong this time.”

Ji Nuan thought his words were a bit ridiculous, so she said flatly, “So CEO Mo, you’re just giving me a chance to vent out the grievances that you gave me? Are you trying to make me happy? You said you were wrong because you thought I hated you, but it turns out that I don’t hate you but just don’t want you any longer, right? What can make me happy? What can make me happy is to finally forget you completely after the long three years.”

She paused, and the scorn in her eyes was becoming more pronounced. “I don’t even want to know why you insisted on divorcing me back then.”

The man had just taken the glass from the table. Hearing her words, he seemed to pause for one or two seconds. Then he put down the glass and asked seemingly emotionlessly, “Really?”

At this time, Ji Nuan’s cell phone rang. She took out her cell phone. It was Xia Tian’s call, and she picked the call up.

“Nuan Nuan, have you gone back to the company?”

“I’m downstairs from the office.”

“That’s great. Last time I said I would have my honey find you a bodyguard, now he has found one. I’m being tied up taking care of my baby at home, so I asked the bodyguard to go to the company to see you himself. He went there this afternoon. You weren’t in the company, so he’s been waiting for you. Where are you now? I’ll tell him to see you.”

“You found me a bodyguard? Is that necessary? I’m safe living here.”

“I’ve found you one. Just keep him. It’s better to have more security assurance. After all, you’re no a nobody now and have been ranked in the Forbes list. You have to watch out for kidnappers and hijackers. I’ll be relieved if you have a bodyguard with you.”

Ji Nuan smiled helplessly. “OK, I’m in the beef noodle restaurant downstairs.”

“OK, I’ll tell him right away.”

After Ji Nuan hung up, the waiter happened to serve the two bowls of beef noodles.

Ji Nuan slowly took a sip of the water and said, “Although this restaurant is small, it’s clean. CEO Mo, please don’t mind it. If you don’t like the food, just put it aside. You don’t have to be so polite to me.”

Mo Jingshen remained expressionless and naturally and expertly tucked slices of beef into Ji Nuan’s bowl.

Ji Nuan glanced at the piles of beef in her bowl and didn’t speak. Just then, the restaurant’s door was pulled open, and a fit and a tall figure appeared in front of the door. This was a young man who looked about 20 years old, with a neat crew cut. His handsome face looked masculine and vigorous. This sunshine boy quickly looked around the restaurant and rested his gaze on Ji Nuan. He lowered his head to check the photo in his cell phone that he just received and looked at Ji Nuan again.

Ji Nuan’s eyelid twitched. Was he the ‘bodyguard’ Xia Tian just mentioned to her...

“Hi!” The man walked straight up to the table and greeted Ji Nuan. “Are you Sister Nuan?”

Ji Nuan. “Yes, you can just call me Ji Nuan.”

“There you are!” As if he had known her for a long time, the man sat straight beside Ji Nuan. The tables and chairs in this shop were retro-styled. Ji Nuan was sitting on a wooden bench, who had to be moved aside to make room for him because he had suddenly sat down.

“Hello, Sister Nuan, I’m Yan Ge! I am an intern at Hai City special police force. In fact, I have been on many missions. I have practiced for two years and can officially become a full-time employee soon, but I still need to have social practice for about half a year. Our Boss Lin said he had found me a social practice chance to serve as a female CEO’s bodyguard, who was his wife’s best friend. That’s why I’m here! Sister Nuan, you’re my boss from now on. Glad to meet you!” With that, the young, handsome man named Yan Ge raised his hand to shake hands with Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan looked at him up and down, asking, “How old are you?”

“Twenty-three.” Yan Ge smiled again, looking so youthful and energetic. He smiled and showed his white teeth. His hand was still in front of her, and he insisted on getting to know each other by shaking hands.

He was one year younger than her, so he could call her ‘Sister Nuan.’

Ji Nuan politely shook hands with him and was about to speak when Yan Ge looked the beef noodles on the table that she hadn’t eaten, asking in surprise, “Would a CEO like you come to eat noodles in such a small restaurant?”

Ji Nuan: “...”

“Aren’t you all supposed to go to starred hotels for fancy meals? Just like in the TV show?”

Ji Nuan: “...”

She coughed. No matter how rich she was, she was still a human being. Why couldn’t she have beef noodles?

Ji Nuan simply changed the subject. “Have you been here since this afternoon? Haven’t you had dinner yet?”
