Ji Nuan was confused. âSo, divorce is just my way back to where I started, then what about after the divorce? Now Su Zhilan has got her retribution and died and Iâm still alive, so now should I go on not seeing you for ten more years and never have anything to do with you again?â
Mo Jingshen remained silent.
âNow, you can choose your life freely. What should be over has been over. You can do whatever you want.â
The man said flatly and then looked at her. âItâll be a good choice for you to be Mrs. Mo again.â
Mo Jingshen was looking at her, and his calm expression was a perfect mask for the trepidation with which he spoke.
He had decided to pay the price. Now, it would be difficult for him to take her back.
He knew her too well.
Ji Nuan looked at his placid face and remembered his expression when he had said cruelly that the past he had died.
She said coldly, âOh, Iâm sorry, Iâve been thinking a lot, but I havenât really thought about it. Since I can choose my life now, let the past be the past, including you, Mo Jingshen, right?â
He knew she would respond this way.
Mo Jingshen didnât look disappointed. He lowered his eyes, which flickered with an unfathomable gleam, âHow are you going to make me a part of the past?â
For whatever reason, after all, the way he broke up with her was so cruel that Ji Nuan didnât really want to forgive him.
Ji Nuan remained poker-faced. âIâll fall in love again, find another man to marry, say goodbye to my past life, have a new start, and climb to new heights. What do you think?â
The man looked at her, slightly narrowed his eyes, and chuckled. âFind another man to marry?â
Ji Nuan straightened up her back. âIâve lived for two lives and wasted ten years on the same man. I donât want to waste my time anymore. Anyway, we are divorced. A good horse will never turn around to graze on old pasture. CEO Mo, I appreciate you for the grace of rebirth. When I get married again, you can stand with my father and I and my new husband will bow low to you for your grace. Satisfied?â
Mo Jingshen looked at her. âDoes it make you feel better speaking like this?â
He remained expressionless, but when he heard that she would bow low to him with her new husband for his grace of rebirth, a cold gleam flickered across his eyes.
Ji Nuan turned to the bedroom deadpan. âI still have a headache. Iâll go back to my bedroom and get some sleep. Please go in and wake me up when Auntie Chen brings me the clothes and the SIM card. If you can ask Auntie Chen to buy a new cell phone for me, I will be very grateful. After all, you know, itâs really inconvenient without a cell phone. Iâm the CEO of the MN Group anyway. I have a lot of work to handle.â
With that, she entered the bedroom and closed the door.
Mo Jingshen didnât say anything. Ji Nuan lay back on the bed, looked down at the shirt and the trousers of the man on her body, and then looked out at the sun. She frowned sullenly, got up, and drew the curtains. The bedroom sank into darkness, and she lay down again.
Ji Nuan couldnât fall asleep, because all sorts of things were entangled in her mind.
Perhaps this was right. After all, life couldnât be relived without any price. There were always some tracks and experiences that couldnât be easily reversed.
How much energy and time he spent these years to transfer all the deadly disasters on her to Su Zhilan and Ji Mengran?
After she died in her previous life, in the days that she didnât know, he must have known or done something.
She had slept a whole day and a night and had slept two days in total. She had been here since she woke up, eating and dressing without any consumption, so she couldnât sleep.
But after she closed her eyes and went off into wild flights of thoughts for a while, she fell asleep in the familiar smell of Mo Jingshen in the bed.
â-
It was already dark when she woke up, though it was not yet noon when she fell asleep.
Ji Nuan got up from the bed and felt her strength had returned. She walked out of the bedroom and saw two bags of clothes on the sofa, and a small paper bag with a new SIM card in it.
âWhere is Auntie Chen?â Ji Nuan thought she could see Auntie Chen.
âWhen she came back at noon, you were still sleeping. She didnât bother you and went straight away. Sheâll be back in the morning. You can see her tomorrow morning,â Mo Jingshen came out of the study and said calmly.
Ji Nuan glanced at him. âItâs all right. She is in Hai City after all. Iâll go to Hai City University and treat her and her son a meal when I get the time. Iâll see her sooner or later. Iâll be going after I change clothes.â
Then she picked up the clothes on the sofa and the SIM card and was about to turn back to the bedroom when she pondered and looked back on the sofa. âNo cell phone? CEO Mo, you can throw your million-dollar car into the sea. Why canât you buy me a cell phone?â
He said flatly, âIâll take you to buy a cell phone after you recover.â
Ji Nuan stared at the man who was always so unpleasantly calm and peaceful as if no matter what she said or required, he would just take her as a kid who was throwing a tantrum and would tolerate her and be patient with her.
She coldly snorted. âNo, thanks. Iâm not going to recuperate here. After I change my clothes, Iâll take a taxi and go home.â
The manâs voice was cold. âYou donât have a cell phone, so you canât contact anyone. You donât have any ID certificates or money. Are you inviting others to rob you going out so late and taking a taxi?â
Ji Nuan: â...â
Mo Jingshen had drawn near her, looked down at her, and said lightly, âIf you feel uncomfortable living in Ao Lan International, Iâll send you back, but your head has been hit, and you may have a headache these days, so you must have someone accompany you at home. I can go to your home to live with you.â
Ji Nuan: â...â
No way.
She lived quite peacefully in Yuehu Bay. She must not let him know where she was living.
âIs that serious?â She raised her hand and touched her head. In fact, if she didnât touch the wound, she didnât feel any pain, but when she touched it, she still felt the pain.
She had a feeling that Mo Jingshen purposely played up her wound. If it was really that serious, she would have been sent to the hospital. How could she still be here?
Ji Nuan saw he glance at her face that was no longer swelling and at her head and gaze at her. âYes, very serious.â
Ji Nuan took a look at the SIM card in her hand that was temporarily useless and reluctantly picked up the bags of clothes and went back to the bedroom.
