Chapter 72: Chapter 72 - Mo Jingshen, Mine!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Walking out of the office, Ji Nuan was still wondering if Grandfather Mo would have a fierce battle with Mo Jingshen’s father, and between the old man and son, who would win the battle of “granddaughter-in-law.”

Although what would determine the victory and loss depended mostly on Mo Jingshen.

As she was thinking, Mo Jingshen interlocked their hands and brought her towards the elevators. She glanced to the side and saw a female employee passing by; she looked in their direction, her eyes full of envy and awe.

Would it be too much to show off their affection here at the office?

Ji Nuan quickly tried to tug her hand out, but Mo Jingshen increased the strength of his grip, preventing her from escaping.

Just as they were approaching the private elevator, she vaguely saw a few employees by the side quietly and carefully whispering among themselves but was unable to hear what exactly they were mumbling about.

How could she not know that when any of the company’s employees saw this scene, they would definitely be extremely shocked.

At the office, it would not be going overboard to call CEO Mo, a ruthless demon. Employees always trembled with fear at the thought of making any mistake in front of him. After all, Mo Corporation was not an easy place to stay in. No one could survive here if they were messing around. At the office, CEO Mo never showed much patience or warmth. He would not lose his temper easily, but he definitely was not easy to talk to either. In everyone’s heart, aside from being cold and distant, CEO Mo was only cold and distant.

But who would have thought that CEO Mo would spoil his wife so much?!

Earlier on, when CEO Mo gave Ji Nuan that gentle and smiling gaze, it almost took their lives—

“CEO Mo.” Secretary An’s voice suddenly came from the side just as the private elevator stopped at the highest floor.

Hearing her voice, Ji Nuan subconsciously turned to glance toward her.

Secretary An’s gaze remained fixed on Mo Jingshen.

Mo Jingshen did not glance back, his voice carrying a hint of coldness. “What is it?”

“In the afternoon, at 2:00 p.m., you have a meeting with the DC Group’s elder CEO. At 4:00 p.m., you have to head to the conference room to listen to the Finance Department’s monthly report. Are you heading out now? Do you need me to shift your afternoon appointments to tomorrow?”

An Shuyan’s eyes did not blink as she fixed her gaze on Mo Jingshen. In this period of time, from start to finish, she did not even glance at Ji Nuan once.

Mo Jingshen’s tone was indifferent. “Shift the meeting with DC to tomorrow afternoon. I’ll be back in the company by four.”

An Shuyan’s expression did not change, but she gently reminded, “But CEO Mo, DC Group’s elder CEO has already been trying to meet you for a month. It wasn’t easy for them to find a good timing to meet you personally today to finally discuss...”

By Mo Jingshen’s side, Ji Nuan quietly muttered such that only he could hear, “If you have work, then go ahead. Earlier on, I only casually mentioned the hot pot. I don’t have to eat it no matter what.”

She had just finished speaking when he calmly pinched her palm, before holding her hand in his palm.

Ji Nuan said nothing else.

This Secretary An described his “busy” afternoon in so much detail that there was no way she would believe it was not said intentionally for her to hear.

Although she was the secretary, Mo Jingshen was the one in charge of the company. He was aware of everything that happened. If Mo Jingshen did not feel the need to give face to that company, Ji Nuan would naturally be mindful of that and not say anything more.

“CEO Mo, it’s almost 2:00 p.m. If there’s nothing important, wait for DC’s people to show up before leaving...” An Shuyan retained her professional tone; her eyes still fixed on Mo Jingshen’s side profile.

Mo Jingshen expression was natural and unchanged, his tone calm. “Ji Nuan is hungry; she can’t wait.”

It was an attitude that took her words lightly.

Ji Nuan silently smiled, wanting to stab him.

She was not a reincarnation of a hungry ghost, who said she could not wait!

She kept quiet and did not move to poke him. Her gaze did not move to Secretary An anymore either. She only secretly scratched the palm of his hand with her nails, causing him to tighten his grip.

An Shuyan paused for a moment; her expression calm before she slowly nodded. She smiled. “All right, I understand, CEO Mo.”

In the few times she had seen him since they were young, Mo Jingshen had always been a distant and cold person. However, this was the first time she felt that he was even more distant, colder, and clearly further away from her than they used to be.

Even when the two entered the elevator, An Shuyan remained standing there watching the elevator doors slowly close. She held the documents in her hands and was silent for a quite a while before turning away without a change in expression.

“She seems like an opponent ah...” Ji Nuan stood in the elevator by Mo Jingshen’s side, casually and softly saying.

Mo Jingshen glanced at her. “En?”

“She’s very composed,” Ji Nuan judged.

It was a composure that was determined to win Mo Jingshen; a composure that did not even acknowledge Ji Nuan’s existence.

She was composed to the point where she triggered Ji Nuan’s small, desire to win. She raised her hand to wrap it around Mo Jingshen’s elbow. She said with determination, “But regardless of how outstanding and confident some people may be, they shouldn’t interfere in other people’s marriages and become a third party. Mo Jingshen, regardless of how many women are eyeing you, you can only be my man!”

Mo Jingshen chuckled with his low and husky voice. “En, only yours.”

Ji Nuan raised her eyes, glancing at the reflection of the two of them against the metal doors of the elevator. They were standing together.

The man’s handsomeness was beyond average, his grey shirt giving him a distinct temperament. His hair appeared clean, as though it had been washed a thousand times. Without gel nor any styling, he was charming to the point where one could not take their eyes away from him. Even though he was only casually standing there, he looked tall and upright. He was currently looking down at her standing by his side, a faint smile on his lips.

The place they were heading to was right around the office. The two did not drive and instead walked over.

After entering Hotpot City, Ji Nuan asked, “Are you sure you can take spicy food?”

She struggled a little with it but would occasionally be greedy and crave it. However, it seemed like she did not know much about Mo Jingshen’s tastes.

As Mrs. Mo, she was really ashamed of herself...

Mo Jingshen glanced at her as he walked in, clearly having some thoughts about her questions.

Ji Nuan decided not to speak anymore, walking in to find a seat. Earlier on, she did not manage to reserve a seat over the phone, but thankfully, there were not many customers right now. On the second floor, there was a good seat by the window available.

“Welcome, may I ask how many people are dining?”

“Two,” Ji Nuan replied.

Mo Jingshen did not speak, directly sitting down across her and taking the menu the server handed over. He did not even glance at it before handing it to her. “Pick whatever you like.”

Seeing how CEO Mo did not appear uncomfortable at all in this place filled with the smell of hot pot, Ji Nuan lowered her head to look at the menu, scribbling numbers against the choices. After a while, she raised her head to look at him. “Do you like... meat or vegetables? If it’s meat, lamb or beef? Do you eat things like duck liver or beef tripe?”

After asking, she saw Mo Jingshen stare at her meaningfully again.

Ji Nuan raised her hand to press against her forehead. She knew so little about her own husband, not because she wanted to, all right?! In the future, she would learn more and remember it all!
