Chapter 672: Chapter 672

“I haven’t asked you anything yet. Why are you in such a hurry to explain?” Mo Jingshen bent over and gradually pressed on towards her, with a dark smile in his eyes. “Don’t you know that a poor lie will reveal the truth?”

Ji Nuan: “...”

She looked away. “I did come here for work, but CEO Mo, I can’t believe you are so busy that you don’t even reply to my messages, so I just dropped by to see how busy you are.”

Mo Jingshen chuckled and gently stroked her hair. “A few days ago, I accidentally lost the cell phone I used in China and it took time to get a new phone card, so I didn’t see your messages. I didn’t get a new phone card until this morning.”

Ji Nuan looked at him. “You lost your cell phone? Did someone steal your phone or did you accidentally drop it somewhere?”

The man didn’t answer her question but said slowly in a low voice, “When will you start to work? Let me send someone to accompany you. It’s not safe in Los Angeles these days. I’ll send two men from Nanheng to accompany you.”

Ji Nuan thought he was referring to what she had seen on the international news the other day about gang violence and regular demonstrations and confrontations with the police in Los Angeles recently. This kind of news had been reported for days, and those matters happened occasionally in other American cities. She didn’t take them seriously.

However, she didn’t refuse him to arrange some people from XI Base to protect her. She nodded. “Hope not to trouble them too much. I heard that Feng Ling has not been in Los Angeles for a long time. Otherwise, I’ll be able to meet her.”

At this time, she suddenly remembered something and said, “I booked a hotel downtown before I came.”

“Cancel it,” the man said and closed the car door for her.

She looked at the time as the man went around the car and got into the car. She turned to look at the man in the driver’s seat. “The hotel is very close to where I’ll negotiate with my partners.”

“Just cancel it and live with me.”

For some reason, Ji Nuan felt the man was particularly resolute today. For example, he suddenly came to pick her up, arranged his men to protect her, and asked her to live with him.

Los Angeles was very big. If she didn’t live in the hotel, she would have to make long detours to negotiate the project. However, since he said he would arrange his men to protect her, it would be too troublesome to live in the hotel, so she thought about it and didn’t say anymore.

“This time I came to the United States to negotiate a project with a third party, who is said to be very punctual, and I’d better arrive in advance of the appointed time. It’ll be great if your men who you’ll send to protect me have a car. If not, I will rent a car.”

“I’ll make arrangements for you. Just come with me.”

“To where? Your company? The Mo family’s house in Los Angeles? Or your apartment in Los Angeles?”

“Another hotel.”

Ji Nuan immediately looked at his handsome profile. “Hotel? Why do you live in a hotel? Have you been living in a hotel since you returned to the US?”

The man didn’t answer her question but said flatly, “Just for convenience. The location of the hotel is neither far from nor close to the city center, but you’ll be sent to the negotiation place on time. Just rest assured, OK?”

By right, Mo Jingshen came back to the US for business matters. He could live in his company and he also had an apartment close to his company. Besides, the Mo family’s house in Los Angeles was also close to the Shine headquarters, but he chose to live in a hotel.

Although Ji Nuan was suspicious, she didn’t ask anymore but looked out of the car window. “Since you live in a hotel, help me book a room there.”

Mo Jingshen didn’t answer. When the car drove to the airport highway, the intersection ahead was temporarily blocked due to a vehicle accident. The man slowed down the car and stopped behind the car. Then he put his hand around her waist, carried her into his arms, and then made her sit on his lap.

This was the airport highway. Even if it was a traffic jam, the car would have to go forward at any time.

Ji Nuan struggled but the man held her waist firmly.

He put his thin lips on her tender, fair-skinned cheek and said in a low, hoarse voice, “I didn’t expect to see you in Los Angeles. Stay in my sight. Don’t try to get far away from me or live in another room. My suite has plenty of office and sleeping space. You’re upset because I didn’t reply to your message, which shows that you actually care about me. Since you’ve come here, there’s no need to keep your distance from me.”

“I’m not trying to keep a distance from you, but we don’t have to live together.” Ji Nuan tried to push him away. “Anyways, I don’t want to live in your room. You have jobs to do, so do I. Even though the suite is big, we’ll affect each other in the same room. In case I suddenly appear in the picture when you are working via video conference, it seems not so good.”

“Why not good? Now almost everyone knows that you’re Mrs. Mo.”

“...”

Mo Jingshen was the actual owner of Shine. The media in the US would also report on him, so after Mo Jingshen stated that he didn’t divorce her, many people here also knew the news, especially his employees.

“Mo Jingshen, I find you’re really a hard-headed, iron-hearted person.”

“...I admit I’m hard-headed. But why did you say I’m iron-hearted?”

“The more hard-headed a person is, the more iron-hearted he will be, isn’t it?”

Mo Jingshen: “...”

“When was I iron-hearted to you? Yes, I was cold-hearted to you three years ago, but that was for your own good.” He put his forehead against hers. His masculine breath was lingering in her nostrils and the cool smell invaded her sense of smell. “Think for yourself. When have I ever done you wrong, huh?

“No matter what you’re going to do, you should tell me instead of doing or bearing it all yourself. I am not a child and you shouldn’t keep everything from me.” Before she came to Los Angeles this time, she had thought that she should have a good talk with him.

“Is it just because I do or bear everything myself without telling you that you blamed me for being iron-hearted?”

Ji Nuan reached out to push his arms. “I’m not blaming you. I am just telling you what I think. You have to drive. Let go of me first.”

“Just sit on my lap and don’t move. Otherwise you’ll regret it.”

Ji Nuan: “...”

How could he be so horny when they were stuck in traffic on the freeway! If she went to live with him now, it would be like sending a sheep into a tiger’s den.

At this time, several cars in front of them were already starting their engines. It seemed that the road ahead had cleared.

Ji Nuan pushed him again. “Let go of me.”
