Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

At night, Ji Nuan returned to the Yuehu Bay. Sleeping in the big bed alone, she closed her eyes in the dark but tossed and turned sleepless.

It took her three years to adjust to being single.

But Mo Jingshen only spent three days to break her habit.

He slept on the floor beside the bed for two nights, but for some reason, Ji Nuan felt something was missing now…

With her mind filled with wild thoughts, Ji Nuan finally fell asleep.

—-

The next morning, she woke up feeling uncomfortable all over. Although she slept last night, she didn’t sleep well. When she sat up, she felt pain in her shoulders and neck, presumably from keeping herself a fixed position during her sleep.

Ji Nuan went downstairs for a morning jog.

The neighbors jogging and working out downstairs greeted her when they saw her and asked where she had been these days.

Ji Nuan smiled and said she had been out recently.

She ran two laps and went back to the apartment. Under the apartment building, she saw the aunt living on the seventh floor talking to someone. She said hello and was going upstairs to take a shower and get ready for work.

The aunt, however, turned around and asked her enthusiastically when she saw her, “Miss Ji, are you working out, By the way, the last few times I met you, you were in such a hurry to go to work that I never had a chance to talk with you. May I ask how old you are?”

Ji Nuan took a look at the aunt. “Twenty-four.”

“Alas, you are twenty-four? I thought you were younger than twenty! Are you married?”

“…No.”

She didn’t want to talk about her personal life with others, especially with an over-enthusiastic neighbor aunt who didn’t know much about her.

“That’s great. My son is going to come back from studying abroad these two days. He has a PhD in finance and is 28 years old. He was doing financial analysis in a large foreign enterprise with great income. You can see that my family’s financial condition isn’t bad since we live in Yuehu Bay. My son is a good-looking man and I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with him once you see him. I want to introduce my son to you. Would you like to see him for a blind date?”

Ji Nuan. “Ah?”

Blind date?!

Seeing Ji Nuan froze, the aunt came up and took her hand, saying all smiles. “I’ve been looking at you for a long time since you moved here. You just work and stay at home except when going out for a morning jog and are very polite to us. I can see that you are a very excellent girl with good living habits. My son happens to come back and he doesn’t have a girlfriend. I wanted to tell you this several days ago, but you were not around these days. Today, I finally got you!”

The corner of Ji Nuan’s mouth twitched and she forced a smile. “Auntie, this is too sudden, and something like a blind date doesn’t suit me. Your son is excellent, and I think there must be many good girls who can match him. I… I’d better not. You know, I’m busy with my work…”

“Alas, my son is busy too, but no matter how busy young people are, you’ll have to find someone to get married!” The aunt took her hand, gently patted the back of her hand and went on. “Anyway, you’re single, aren’t you? We are neighbors and have a lot of chances to meet. I’m sure you two will be satisfied with each other. The first step in developing a relationship is to get to know each other. I don’t mean to disturb you. I just want you two to meet.”

“Then let’s get to know each other when we meet downstairs after your son comes back. I have to go to work soon, and I’ve to take a shower,” Ji Nuan said and was about to leave.

“Don’t go. Can you give me your phone number? My son will go back to Hai City tomorrow. Then I will make an appointment with you to have dinner together, OK?”

The aunt was very enthusiastic and was holding Ji Nuan’s hand. She often met this neighbor, who had gifted her soybean milk she made herself some time ago. Ji Nuan couldn’t reject her too coldly, but she really didn’t want a blind date. In order to get away as soon as possible, she left the aunt her business card with her office’s phone number on, without giving her personal number, and then walked straight into her apartment.

Ji Nuan thought the aunt just had a whim but didn’t expect the aunt to be serious.

The next day, when Ji Nuan got off work and walked out of the company, she saw a person waving at her in front. She looked carefully, only to see it was that aunt waving at her excitedly.

Ji Nuan walked over. “Auntie? Why are you here…?”

The aunt said all smiles. “I know you’re working here, but I don’t know whether you can answer phones at work, so I didn’t call you but waited. Come on, get in the car. Let my son drive you to dinner.”

Ji Nuan paused and then saw a blue high-level sports car behind the aunt. The driver’s door opened and a young man in a leisure suit stepped out and gave her a polite smile. “Hello.”

Ji Nuan. “…Hello.”

Ji Nuan tried to reject but was still persuaded onto the car. The aunt took her hand and chatted enthusiastically with her for quite a while.

They had booked a French restaurant whose food was said to be delicious. The restaurant was not in the west part of the city but the downtown of Hai City.

After entering the restaurant, the aunt smiled and said she had a phone call to make. Then she walked out, leaving the two of them staring at each other in embarrassment.

Fortunately, her son was a mature man. He took the initiative to introduce himself and said that he had just returned to China and hadn’t found a job in China yet. If it weren’t for his mother who forced him to meet her, he wouldn’t have come here because he didn’t want a blind date either, but he had a very good impression of Ji Nuan and hoped to know her better.

The aunt’s son talked in a measured way and was neither conceited nor rash. He didn’t speak too much or too little, making people feel comfortable. He was an excellent man indeed.

Ji Nuan chatted with him about the changes in the business and financial situation at home and abroad. As they chatted, she gradually relaxed and smiled.

In the Shine Group, Mo Jingshen was standing at the window and suddenly, his cell phone received a photograph from the bodyguard. He clicked on it, only to see that in the photograph, Ji Nuan, with a bright smile, sat opposite a man.

Mo Jingshen stood there, and his gaze fell on the smiling face of the woman until his cell phone rang again.

He picked up and the bodyguard said, “CEO Mo, Miss Ji seems to be having a blind date with a young man…”

Chapter 537: CEO Mo Only Said a Word, but How Come He Felt As If Falling Into an Ice Cellar?

Shen Mu delivered two documents to the CEO’s office before leaving work. He knocked the door, went in, and saw the man standing in front of the window, as handsome and domineering as usual. Since he was working, his shirt was all buttoned up and he was neatly dressed.

This was how he had been like when he was working in the company in the last three years.

Shen Mu went over and put down the documents. For some reason, he felt the air-conditioning temperature of the room was too low. He turned his eyes to the air-conditioning but found that the temperature was the same as usual, not too low.

“CEO Mo, are you going to attend the dinner party in the Haitai Street Hotel tonight?”

Mo Jingshen put one hand in his trouser pocket, his face deadpan and his voice indifferent. “Yes.”

He only said a word, but how come he felt as if falling into an ice cellar?

It was chilly.

Shen Mu didn’t dare to ask and went out to schedule the dinner party with the secretary.

—-

After leaving the company, Shen Mu silently followed behind Mo Jingshen. The man walking in front looked stony and inaccessible, walking with firm and steady steps.

He opened the door of the car gracefully and steadily and got into the car.

Sitting in the car, he casually arranged his elaborate and expensive cufflinks.

Everything was the same as usual.

But the atmosphere was so chilly and solemn that Shen Mu didn’t dare to ask him anything.

Mo Jingshen sat in the back of the car and his long legs parted naturally. He turned to look out of the window. His eyes were cold and flickered with an unfathomable gleam.

The car stopped for half a minute at a red light near a French restaurant after passing a busy shopping street, and Mo Jingshen turned his gaze to the transparent windows of the French restaurant.

For a moment, the car was terribly quiet, and the air inside seemed to freeze.

Shen Mu looked carefully back through the rearview mirror, noticed the direction Mo Jingshen was looking in and followed suit to look at the French restaurant.

Ji Nuan had been chatting with the aunt’s son for more than an hour in the restaurant. At first, they were a little shy, but later they lost track of time as they talked about interesting things in the business and American finance industry. They were no longer embarrassed, talking and laughing. The aunt’s son grew to like her, and Ji Nuan kept smiling. Although it was the first time they met, they weren’t quite embarrassed.

But they had been talking for so long that Ji Nuan looked at the time and said with a smile as the waiter served a plate of fruit salad, “Auntie said she was going out to answer a phone, but she has been gone for almost two hours.”

The aunt’s son also took a look at the time and laughed. “My mother has been trying to find me a girlfriend for years, but I’ve been studying abroad and working at the same time. I did have a girlfriend the last couple of years, but we ended up at an impasse because of personality clashes and differences in perspective. After I broke up with her, I didn’t think about finding a girlfriend. My mom and I were half the world away, so she couldn’t control me, but I didn’t expect as soon as I came back, she had arranged me a blind date…”

With that, the aunt’s son went on. “But Miss Ji, you’re really an excellent girl. To be honest, I’m very fond of you. If you don’t mind, I think we can get to know each other better to see if there is chemistry between us. I won’t push you. I can see that you are not interested in this kind of dating.”

Hearing his words, Ji Nuan said sincerely, “Yes, I can’t agree more. We can be friends. Feelings can’t be forced.”

The aunt’s son looked at her, asking, “Miss Ji, do you already have a man you love?”

Ji Nuan had picked up a glass of water. Hearing his words, she didn’t say anything but just slowly drank the water, and then put down the glass.

Since she didn’t want to answer this question, the aunt’s son didn’t ask any longer. Ji Nuan was full and the two of them had been chatting for a long time. Unlike other girls on a blind date who only chatted and felt shy to eat anything, she drank water, sliced the steak or ate some fruit from time to time, looking natural and graceful. She, younger than mature women and younger than teenager girls, had a special temperament. He said with a smile, “I think my mom has gone back to Yuehu Bay. She said you also lived there. We’re on the same way. Let me drive you back?”

“I don’t want to refuse, but my friend just texted me, asking me to visit her tonight. She’ll send someone to pick me up, and I won’t be back to Yuehu Bay tonight, so no, thanks.” Ji Nuan held up her phone, shook it slightly at him and smiled.

The aunt’s son nodded. “OK, I’ll see you into the car when your friend’s driver arrives, and then I’ll go.”

Outside the restaurant, looking at the man and the woman sitting at the same table talking and laughing, Shen Mu couldn’t help slowly swallowing saliva.

Mr. Vinse left, and there came a bodyguard. When the bodyguard left, she went to a blind date!

Miss Ji was really popular with men…

Ji Nuan had always been popular with men, but she kept a distance from all the other men before, and most of the men would give up and dare not approach her again once they knew she was Mo Jingshen’s wife.

But now she was single. No matter how many men she dated, it made sense.

Besides, men liked chasing beautiful women. She was a beautiful, single, and successful. It would be strange if no man liked and chased a woman like her.

Shen Mu withdrew his gaze, looked at Mo Jingshen at the rearview mirror and asked hesitantly, “CEO Mo, shall we go to the hotel in the Haitai Street? Or pull over here…”

Mo Jingshen remained silent. After several seconds, his cold thin lips moved slightly. “Wait a moment.”

The atmosphere was suffocating.

Shen Mu remained silent too and pulled decisively into the nearest parking space on the side of the road.

Ji Nuan was still talking to the man in the restaurant, and soon both of them got up and walked out of the restaurant. A car stopped by the roadside, and Ji Nuan got into the car alone. The man who had just been with her in the restaurant said goodbye to her politely.

When Mo Jingshen recognized the car belonged to Xia Tian, his eyes were no longer that cold. He still stared out of the window, his right hand resting on the center armrest box and his forefinger slowly tapping as if he was lost in thought.

Then he slowly put down his hands, saying flatly, “Let’s go.”
