Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

In the following two days, they were extremely busy. Ji Nuan finally endured through the toughest part of her period, and was able to gather her strength to work. They participated in various big and small meetings, exhibitions, etc.

On her trip to Jing City this time, her greatest mistake was trusting Mo Jingshen’s words when he told her there was no need to bring an assistant or secretary with her. As a result, she needed to handle every matter personally.

Mo Jingshen did not call Shen Mu over and instead brought Xiao Hu with him. Naturally, Xiao Hu largely became their personal chauffeur and housekeeper; various, odd tasks were left to his hands. On this rare occasion, Mo Jingshen also had to personally handle some of his matters.

For the past two days, there was barely any time for a break. Their schedule ended after 10:00 p.m. every night. By the time they arrived at the hotel, she could barely drag her body to the shower before collapsing into bed.

In the past few years, the property industry had been flourishing. An architectural exhibition featuring the unique properties in every city was about to be held in Jing City, and various local property enterprises were invited.

Although MN Group currently dabbled in multiple areas, their roots were in property. Thus, they were naturally invited.

Mo Jingshen had also received this invitation, but the event coincided with another, more important meeting. Thus, Mo Jingshen left Xiao Hu by Ji Nuan’s side and had him accompany Ji Nuan to attend this architectural exhibition.

When they arrived at the exhibition hall, Xiao Hu earnestly took care of various small and big matters for Ji Nuan. He went in first to settle the necessary administrative work before stepping back out. “CEO Ji, I’ve found a seat for you. You can sit down and enjoy the entire exhibition. You’ll be seated with various representatives from BGY Group. I heard that in recent years, your company has been interacting frequently with BGY Group. It’ll be convenient for you guys to chat while watching the exhibition.”

“BGY’s people are here as well?”

“Yes. As a large-scale property corporation, BGY Group is naturally invited to the exhibition show in Jing City.”

Ji Nuan nodded and went in.

Today’s exhibition featured the most iconic and most popular properties. The ones with prices worth studying were all indicated on a large map in the centre of the exhibition hall. The map featured all of the cities and important buildings.

Within Hai City, there were four buildings featured as models. Currently, Shine Group was not focused on the property industry. Although Mo Jingshen had been invited, Shine Group’s properties were not featured. On the other hand, BGY Group had two featured properties. The other two belonged to the two newest property companies in Hai City. MN Group was also not featured.

The models only served as a meaningful representation; this was so that they had something to showcase and to introduce the exhibition to guests.

After entering, Ji Nuan greeted various familiar people she had met before in Hai City. Xiao Hu directed her toward her arranged seat, and she nodded toward him before approaching it.

When she first approached, she did not pay much attention to the people around her. She abruptly heard a familiar man’s voice. “Ji Nuan?”

She paused in her footsteps subconsciously, swerving around to see Mr. Vinse, whom she had not seen in a long while. Secretary Yang, who often accompanied him was also present. The two of them approached the seats by her side.

Ji Nuan glanced at Mr. Vinse before turning to check their seats. They were actually seated side by side.

Ji Nuan: “…”

This was the seat Xiao Hu had arranged?

This could be considered, ‘he who is unaware is not guilty,’ right? If Mo Jingshen came to know of this… she wasn’t sure if Xiao Hu would be able to keep his job…

“Why did you come to Jing City?” Before Ji Nuan could speak up, Mr. Vinse had noticed the name plates on their seats and turned to ask her.

“Ah, I came for a business trip. I’ve already been in Jing City for several days. Have you been away from Hai City this whole time?” Ji Nuan sat down first.

Seeing that she had taken her seat, Mr. Vinse smiled slightly. He indicated for Secretary Yang to take his seat while he shifted to the seat closest to Ji Nuan’s.

“It’s true that I haven’t been back to Hai City recently. I received the invitation for Jing City’s exhibition and flew over this morning.” As he spoke, Mr. Vinse opened a bottle of water on the table and handed it to her. “It’s been quite some time since I last saw you. How have you been?”

If it had been someone else asking, it would have only been pleasantries. However, coming from Mr. Vinse, Ji Nuan knew that he was sincerely interested in her well-being.

She received the water and smiled: “I’m all right. I’ve been quite busy recently. I fall asleep the moment I close my eyes and have been quite well-rested. My spirit is good during the day as well. The various projects and partnerships I’ve been discussing here have all gone smoothly.”

Hearing this, Mr. Vinse smiled.

“Why does your complexion seem so poor?” Ji Nuan noticed that Mr. Vinse’s face clearly appeared slightly skinnier. It was also slightly pale.

“A few days ago, I had a reunion with several old classmates who returned from abroad. It’s been too long since I last saw them, and it was a rare opportunity that we could all gather. I drank too much and hurt my stomach. Recently, I haven’t been feeling too well, but it’s all right. I should be fine after a period of rest.” Mr. Vinse smiled warmly upon hearing her concern: “After all, I’m no longer a young man in my twenties. I’m past thirty now. I have to be cautious with drinking or I’ll harm my body.”

Hearing this, Ji Nuan couldn’t help her surprise. “I always thought your alcohol tolerance was quite good.”

“It is not bad.” Mr. Vinse lifted one corner of his lips: “But no matter how good it is, have you ever tried mixing white and red wine with beer, and drinking persistently through the night?”

Ji Nuan nodded. “I wouldn’t dare to do that. You should know as well, know matter how I tried to train my tolerance in London, I could never make it past two bottles of wine. If I mix red and white wine, I’ll probably be unconscious after a few glasses.”

Mr. Vinse chuckled. “You better forget about it. There’s no need for girls to drink so much. Don’t think I’ve never noticed you secretly pouring wine away at events.”

Ji Nuan had met Mr. Vinse at various business events, but had never thought that he would notice her small movements.

She couldn’t help but laugh. “It seems like I’ve to practice my tricks more. If you saw it, I’m sure other people have as well. It would be too embarrassing if everyone knew about it, yet I still pretended to be intoxicated…”

As they chatted, Xiao Hu approached from the back. His seat was arranged to be directly behind Ji Nuan’s.

He noticed that Ji Nuan was chatting merrily with this BGY’s representative, but they seemed overly familiar. As they chatted, their body instinctively leaned closer to each other, as though they were softly whispering.

Xiao Hu immediately felt a sense of danger on behalf of his family’s Boss.
