Qin Siting: [Iâve been tolerating your WeChat avatar for days. Havenât you changed it yet?]
Mo Jingshen glanced at the message of Qin Siting and didnât respond.
But Qin Siting went on: [Did you hear me? Donât you feel embarrassed using Ji Nuanâs photo as your WeChat avatar?]
Mo Jingshen replied deadpan: [Do you have a problem with my avatar?]
Qin Siting: [No, I donât, but I think Ji Nuan will have a problem with it. Youâre getting increasingly shameless. How can she stand you?]
Mo Jingshen coldly stared at Qin Sitingâs message that was full of taunt.
He suddenly remembered that several years ago, Qin Siting had said in the phone that if one day, he, Mo Jingshen, wanted to find Ji Nuan back but couldnât, he would stab him in the heart with a knife and let him taste the pain of losing her and at the same time as being stabbed by his best friend.
Mo Jingshen still didnât reply.
However, several minutes later, âStabber Qinâ sent a screenshot of the WeChat chat.
The screenshot showed the chat between Qin Siting and Ji Nuan two minutes ago.
Qin Siting: [You asked me about gastroenteritis today. Who suffers a stomachache?]
Ji Nuan immediately replied: [A friend.]
Qin Siting: [Oh, you replied so fast. Havenât you slept at such a time?]
Ji Nuan: [I just took a shower and am lying in bed, playing with my cell phone. Iâll sleep soon.]
Qin Siting: [Didnât you go to Beijing on business? Youâre not with Mo Jingshen?]
Ji Nuan: [No.]
Qin Siting: [(LMAO) Good.]
Mo Jingshen stared at the screenshot, and his face went all dark. Why did Ji Nuan reply to Qin Siting so quickly?!
âStabber Qinâ: [Youâve taken her all the way to Beijing, but still havenât won her back. I think she probably has put love affairs aside and doesnât love you anymore. Youâd better just let her find another man to marry. Anyway, it was you who dumped her first. (Smile) (Cute Smile)(LMAO)]
Getting no reply from Mo Jingshen after a long time, Qin Siting had a hunch and sent a random message to Mo Jingshen. As he expected, he couldnât send Mo Jingshen any message any longer. He had deleted him from his WeChat Friend List.
Tut.
Mo Jingshen, who was always calm and composed, was exasperated by him.
It seemed that he had touched his sore spot.
He thought about how miserable Mo Jingshen was, and how heâd seen Ji Nuan standing like a ghost in the hospital hallway in Los Angeles.
Although the one who was miserable was his good buddy, for some reason, he was pleased.

Ji Nuan had a very sound sleep. When she woke up and opened her eyes, it was already past eight o âclock in the morning. She had an appointment at about ten o âclock, and the meeting place was nearby, so she was not in a hurry.
She got up, picked up her phone, and looked at it. There were no messages or missed calls. She put the phone down, took a shower, changed clothes, combed her hair, and put on makeup.
She was ready to go out when Xiao Hu called her.
âCEO Ji, your scheduled appointment this morning is coming up. Shall I drive you there?â Xiao Hu sounded a little hesitant. After all, Ji Nuan went to another hotel last night, and now he didnât know how things were going with her.
âNo, thanks. Iâm very close to the meeting place. Itâs only a few stops on the subway. Iâll take the subway.â
Xiao Hu. âOk, then tonight, you...â
Xiao Hu was going to ask her if she would go back to Sheng Tang Hotel tonight. After all, last night, when she stayed in another hotel, CEO Mo had stayed in her room all night and had not yet come out.
Before Xiao Hu said anything, however, he suddenly saw the door of Ji Nuanâs room open. Mo Jingshen was still in his last nightâs clothes, but the clothes had no wrinkles. It seemed that he had been up all night. He did not speak after coming out but just looked at him indifferently.
Xiao Hu immediately choked the words back, and simply talked to Ji Nuan about her schedule the next few days, and then prepared to hang up the phone. But just before he hung up, he heard her say, âIf it is convenient for you, could you please spare some time to bring my suitcase here tonight? After all, my computer and other things are in the suitcase.â
Not knowing whether he should say yes or not, Xiao Hu grunted as a response and hung up.
Then he looked at his bossâs placid eyes. âCEO Mo, CEO Ji just said she would take the subway to work by herself today...â
Mo Jingshen didnât speak. Although he did not sleep all night, he didnât look very tired. His eyes were cold and clear, and he remained silent.
Xiao Hu felt a bit nervous and forced a smile to reduce the tension, saying, âThe traffic jam in Beijing is serious. Compared with driving, it is more convenient to take the subway.â
Looking at the man who remained deadpan, he thought for a while and said, âBesides, CEO Ji asked me to send her suitcase to her tonight. CEO Mo, shall... I send it to her?â
âYes.â Mo Jingshen said flatly. Before Xiao Hu saw his expression, he had turned back to his room.
ââ
That night, when Ji Nuan came back to the hotel, she saw her big suitcase placed at the front desk of the hotel. When the staff saw her, they took the initiative to push the suitcase.
However, it wasnât just the suitcase here. Mo Jingshen was also here, waiting for her in the hotelâs VIP lounge.
Knowing that Mo Jingshen was here, Ji Nuan said nothing and went to the VIP lounge as directed by the staff. As she walked over, the door happened to be opened by the staff, and she went straight in.
Their eyes met and Mo Jingshenâs dark eyes fixed on her face. Watching her pushing her own suitcase in smartly, he didnât look away.
Ji Nuan cast an indifferent glance at him, not surprised at all that he showed up here. She just glanced at him, and her gaze didnât linger.
The staff immediately left the room, leaving the space to them. The large room fell into a deafening silence.
She held the handle of the suitcase gently and looked around at the lounge. He kept staring at her. No one could tell what he was thinking of, but he didnât look away.
She suddenly turned back, and her eyes met the manâs deep, dark eyes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
They looked at each other for several seconds.
She smiled. âCEO Mo.â
Mo Jingshen lifted his eyelids lightly. Now the woman had escaped from him, and there was a note of alienation in her voice. These days, when she was angered by him and called his full name, gnashing her teeth, she looked really cute, but now she looked so cold and alienated.
It was so painful last night as if he was stabbed in the heart over and over again, but now the pain had gone. Ji Nuan escaped from him and ignored his message, but she had no intention of explaining it, nor seemed to feel guilty at all.
Her hidden claws, once exposed, were really sharp.
