Mo Jingshen showered in her room. Afterward, she tossed a robe at him and told him to scram back to his own room, and finally managed to chase him away.
Ji Nuan took a shower as well. When she finally laid down on the bed, her heart only had the words âAhhhhhhh, I canât sleep!â repeating over and over again.
Bastard!
It was already past 1:00 a.m., yet she couldnât sleep!
â-
The next day, Ji Nuan went downstairs for breakfast with two dark circles around her eyes.
It was past 7.00 a.m., and both Xiao Hu and Mo Jingshen were present. Ji Nuan carried a plate as she wandered around the buffet area, and she appeared clearly listless. Xiao Hu insensitively stood up and approached to ask, âCEO Ji, did you sleep poorly last night?â
Ji Nuan glanced at him coldly. âDo you think I slept well?â
Xiao Hu was startled. âFrom your complexion, it seems like you slept poorly.â Furthemore, her expression was very bad. Her tone was also rather rough, as though she was stifled with anger.
However, Xiao Hu did not dare to continue speaking. He picked up two pieces of bread and quickly snuck back to the table to have his breakfast. He turned to CEO Mo, who was drinking his coffee, and couldnât resist asking, âCEO Mo, it seems like CEO Ji didnât sleep well last night. Shall I sign her attendance for her at the meeting in the assembly hall tonight? So that she can rest in the hotel room?â
âThereâs no need.â Before Mo Jingshen could reply, Ji Nuan had already approached with her plate in her hands. She answered Xiao Hu expressionlessly and sat down without even looking at Mo Jingshen.
Xiao Hu: â...â
Who offended this great ancestor again? Didnât she seem fine yesterday? On the car... she had even slept leaning against CEO Mo...
This night have passed peacefully? Why...
Xiao Hu opened his mouth, staring dumbstruck as Ji Nuan bit into a toast with force. He then turned to the man by his side, asking softly, âCEO Mo, it seems like itâs true that during this period, a womanâs mood will be quite poor. Itâs rather difficult to even tell what they are feeling, isnât it?â
The manâs expression did not change. âIt might be because she drank too much champagne last night, and has yet to sober up.â
Ji Nuan immediately glared at them in anger, but saw that Mo Jingshen saw still drinking his coffee mildly. He seemed completely unaware of the bad things he had done in her room last night.
After finally being satisfied, he must feel really good right now.
âI wonder who exactly isnât sober.â Ji Nuan did not look at him, and directly rolled her eyes toward the cup on the table.
âIf you didnât sleep well, you should have rested longer in your room. Why did you wake up so early?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI came to Jing City on a business trip, itâs for work and not to accompany a certain great Boss to explore various sights and have a comfortable vacation. I donât have the bad habit of lingering in bed when I donât sleep well,â Ji Nuan spat out.
Mo Jingshen raised his brows. âJust by coming on a business trip, you were able to obtain a painting worth six billion yuan, and various free and caring services. Doesnât this count as a vacation?â
Ji Nuan: â...â
She couldnât resist slamming her knife and fork onto the table. To hold in her anger, she picked up the toast directly with her hands and crushed it as though it was Mo Jingshen. However, the moment she grasped it, she recalled last night...
That burning sensation against her hands...
Ji Nuanâs expression turned even uglier. Why did she agree to such a thing?
Last night, she must have been affected by the alcohol she drank! She never thought that her improved alcohol tolerance was actually still so poor! She was definitely drunk last night!
âMo Jingshen, even if you have hidden motives, you shouldnât be that brazen about it. If there isnât any proper work to be done in Jing City, I can return to Hai City anytime. Xia Tian has yet to return to our company, and the other company representatives canât do much. When Iâm not around, my company is basically in a state of idling. If thereâs nothing important to be done here, Iâll head back first.â
The man paused in his movements of placing his cup down. He glanced at her from the side. âIn two days, thereâll be several summit meetings and exhibitions arranged by the business circle, as well as several places arranged by the Finance Association president that we have to visit. Youâve only been in Jing City for three to four days, and youâve already grown impatient?â
She had already come to such a state in three to four days. If she really stayed here for half a month, wouldnât her bones be completely eaten clean?
Ji Nuan glanced at him unhurriedly. âI applied to remove my name from the list. Iâll give up all the activities in Jing City.â
âNo,â the man replied without any hesitation whatsoever, leaving her with no space to budge.
Ji Nuan rolled her eyes at him and lowered her head to continue eating.
Xiao Hu sat by the side, sipping on a glass of milk as his heart trembled.
This was really difficult on CEO Mo.
Typically, he never brought any woman out with him. During this rare occasion, when he finally brought someone on a business trip, it was actually CEO Ji who had such a stubborn temper... cough, cough...
Xiao Hu suddenly smiled and took the initiative to sa.: âCEO Ji, thereâs no need for you to rush to return to Hai City. The busiest period in Jing City will be the first week here as there are quite some meetings to attend. After another two days, youâll find that most of the activities arranged by the Finance Association president are entertainment related. For example, they booked a villa in the suburbs for everyone to socialise with one another. He also booked a resort to give everyone space to relax; for example, youâll be able to play cards, golf, and even swim. Everything will be very relaxing...â
Locally, whenever the old leaders in the business circled gathered, they would always repeat the same methods of entertainment. This was similar in London. There would always be a certain old CEO who booked a large place for everyone to have fun.
Ji Nuanâs bowling, golf, and various skills were all trained in Londonâs business circle.
She had long grown sick of it, and was completely uninterested.
The incident that occurred previously at Hai Cityâs seaside resort further made her feel that the local business gatherings were absolutely meaningless.
Hearing Xiao Huâs words, her expression immediately turned heavy. She determined spat out eight words, âI refuse to go even if I die!â
Xiao Hu originally thought she would relax from hearing his words, but was taken aback when she refused with a cold expression.
Mo Jingshen coldly glanced at him and Xiao Hu was immediately frightened. He quickly lowered his head to continue eating his breakfast. He originally wanted to help the great Boss please his woman, but it seemed like he had created trouble for him instead.
Mo Jingshen kept his gaze away, turning toward Ji Nuan. âItâs fine if you donât wish to go. I donât have much interest in those places where the rich from all walks of life gather. Why donât we find a hot spring hotel ourselves and have a vacation for several days?â
Ah, ah, aah!
Hot spring hotel?
He wanted to see her strut around in her swimsuit?
Impossible!
Definitely not!
Ji Nuan chuckled coldly and slammed the cutlery in her hands down. âNo!â
She then stood up to head to the buffet area to select more food. She did not even turn back as she left.
Mo Jingshen glanced at her backview and mildly instructed Xiao Hu, who was trying to appear invisible by the side. âGo find out which hot spring hotel in this area is the cleanest and has the least occupants. If possible, book the entire hotel.â
