Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

Ji Nuan was also startled. Tonight, Mo Jingshen had some work he needed to complete at the company and could not take time out. He also wanted to give her the chance to step out alone and did not plan on appearing.

Unexpectedly, he had actually come.

She clearly understood she did not suffer much grievances; it was only a battle of tongues. However, this situation, combined with Sheng Yihan’s appearance, caused her scalp to prickle in discomfort.

Miss Han’s expression instantly changed after hearing Mo Jingshen’s voice. She turned back in disbelief, and the moment she saw Mo Jingshen, she felt her legs turn weak.

“C-CEO Mo…”

The crowd turned in his direction. The man wore a black suit that revealed his white dress shirt. His black pants were smooth and straight, without the slightest wrinkle. He took unhurried steps in his handmade Italian shoes, approaching before the eyes of the crowd.

The instant the tall, handsome, and charming man showed up in the hall, his cold aura caused the people surrounding him to hold their breath as they took a step back. No one dared to step in to add their opinion. The cold, indifferent eyes framed by his short hair hid a layer of frost. His moving, perfect face contained a frigidness that prevented anyone’s approach.

The moment she met Mo Jingshen’s gaze, Ji Nuan lips slowly curved up.

These people refused to stop and insisted on making a low-key person like him unhappy in such a circumstance. In the end, the ones who would be at a disadvantage were still them. Even she did not wish to witness the humiliation they would have to face. Yet, she also felt that after her husband showed such a cold and cool charisma to these women stubbornly infatuated with him, they would surely have all sorts of thoughts in their mind. She really wanted to hide this man away.

Miss Han saw the man approaching and knew better than anyone that Mo Jingshen’s gaze did not land on them for even a second. From the beginning, the only person he was looking at was Ji Nuan.

After desiring this man for so long, she truly never once gained the slightest bit of affection from him. She never even had a meeting of eyes with him.

Everyone had their eyes on Mo Jingshen; from the instant he had appeared, no one dared to speak.

Regardless if it was the business world or the political world, in this Hai Cheng, countless people hoped to gain the favor of the Mo family. Even if these people refuse to give the Sheng family face, there was no way they would dare to offend Mo Jingshen. Otherwise, the consequences would not be easy to swallow…

It was only that they did not expect that Ji Nuan would obtain Sheng Yihan’s protection even when she was facing criticisms from the public. They had heard Sheng Yihan’s relationship with the Ji family back then was not simple, and there was clearly some bad blood between them.

However, what was more important right now was that Mo Jingshen had come.

Mo Jingshen actually showed up! This was something no one saw coming.

If they had known he would be here, who would have dared to spill dirty water on Mrs. Mo. Right now, everyone in the crowd dearly wished they could retreat 800 feet away to avoid being implicated.

Mo Jingshen stopped before Ji Nuan, touching her hair that was rarely styled. He lowered his gaze to look at her evening gown, saying with a low and heavy voice, “Very beautiful.”

Ji Nuan: “…”

Everyone in the crowd was completely taken aback. Although they had heard Mo Jingshen gave Ji Nuan special attention, they never expected that in such circumstances and under such an atmosphere, the first thing he would do would be to praise his wife’s beauty.

He truly did not take others into consideration.

By the side, Miss Han felt even more humiliated. Back then, for the sake of being able to speak to Mo Jingshen, she had even tried to jump from a building. However, this man was cold and never afforded her a single glance. He did not even send an assistant to comfort her. Even when the incident landed on the news and she was interviewed by reporters, he still did not give her any response. It was as though all the women who pursued him and liked him did not exist in his eyes. There was no need to waste a single second on them.

However, toward this Ji Nuan… he actually…

Ji Nuan did not suffer much earlier. However, because it happened before the eyes of so many people, her emotions were still somewhat affected. Now that Mo Jingshen was by her side, her entire body seemed to relax. She stood by his side without speaking and only smiled.

“No matter where you go, there are always people trying to bully you. Is it because you’re really too defenseless, or does everyone think they can climb on top of Mrs. Mo as they please?” Mo Jingshen’s gaze was cold, and his tone did not contain much warmth. Yet, it revealed his protectiveness toward Ji Nuan.

No one dared to breathe loudly after hearing his words. Ji Nuan smiled and was about to say no one had bullied her. However, the man pulled her into his embrace, holding her waist and dragging her in his arms. He touched her shoulders, lowering his gaze to look at her. “Cold?”

Ji Nuan shook her head. “There’s air-conditioning in this hall. I’m not cold.”

By the side, Miss Lin and several other young ladies were all green with envy.

Earlier on, this Ji Nuan had been fearlessly arrogant. Now that Mo Jingshen showed up, in a blink of an eye, she softened into a harmless little rabbit. She was wrapped up in the man’s embrace and completely unlike her earlier domineering self.

“CEO Mo, don’t be fooled by her appearance. Earlier on, she was ridiculously arrogant. Does she always pretend to be frail and pitiful when she’s around you? She had clearly bumped into me earlier, yet she didn’t even apologize and even…” Miss Han angrily spoke up with reddened eyes.

Mo Jingshen patted Ji Nuan’s head, turning to glance at Miss Han. He smiled imperceptibly. “Earlier on, were you the one that wanted her to take off her clothes before the public?”

Miss Han had thought to use the opportunity to smear Ji Nuan’s name. However, the moment she met Mo Jingshen’s gaze, her heart filled with fear.

She resisted the terror she felt, raising her head high to speak. “My gown was dirtied by her. Initially, I only wanted to exchange gowns with her, but she refused. She even talked back at me, and took the… the past… the incident between us to mock me…”

Miss Han’s voice became softer as she felt embarrassed and shy.

Mo Jingshen coldly eyed her. “Us? Did something happen between us? Do we know each other?”

Miss Han’s complexion instantly turned white. The wealthy young ladies in the crowd all shifted their pitying, yet despising gaze onto her.

Not only was Miss Han’s expression poor, everyone in the crowd was staring in disbelief at Ji Nuan, held protectively in Mo Jingshen’s embrace.

Mo Jingshen’s clearly sounded calm and indifferent, yet his simple words were like silent, sharp knives. Miss Han was completely covered in blood after being stabbed by him.

Miss Han bit her lip painfully. She never thought as the involved party when she had almost thrown her life away for him and shocked the entire city, Mo Jingshen did not even remember her name…

“C-CEO Mo, I…” Miss Han felt wronged and wanted to fight back for herself.

However, Mo Jingshen did not offer any care for her wronged expression as he calmly repeated, “Are you the one that wanted her to take off her clothes before the public?”
