(1) Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

Chapter 44: You Actually Still Have Energy?

Ji Nuan was indeed cold to death. Earlier on, she had tried her best to appear strong. Now that her determination had crumbled, she shrunk in the blanket and decided to no longer hide it.

Her body was trembling, yet her gaze could not help but remain fixed on his body. It was only when Mo Jingshen moved to the door—to bring in the brown sugar water that Auntie Chen had brought up—that she moved her eyes away slightly.

Things like period cramps… to have it revealed all to Mo Jingshen…

Really, she was embarrassed to the point where her face was entirely thrown to her grandmother’s house.

“So, who exactly is it that wants to harm us?” Ji Nuan asked, and then she paused. “Or more accurately, who wants me dead?”

Mo Jingshen passed the brown sugar water over. “Cases of wealthy families paying for murder are increasing. In the future, return less to the Ji home.”

Ji Nuan was stunned, but she also finally understood.

The case today was most likely associated with those who had a grudge with the Ji family. After all, the one who called for the car was Ji Mengran who was completely unaware of the situation. If the person took action through Ji Mengran’s phone call, then they most likely knew a lot about the Ji family. Also, they had to be very aware of Ji Mengran and Ji Nuan’s movements.

Could it be Shen Heru? Even if she was pressed for action, acting without care for the consequences was not something she could easily do. After all, she still had several wealthy families supporting her. This was not the time to break off all relations yet. Therefore, this case was most likely unrelated to her.

Then who could it be? Why? To kill her?

Seeing the brown sugar water pushed toward her, she raised it and drank a sip. Although she felt very warm after drinking it, it did not soothe much of her stomach cramps.

After half an hour, Ji Nuan’s stomach still hurt. She kept tolerating it to avoid letting Mo Jingshen notice.

Mo Jingshen saw how her face remained pale and pulled open her blanket, climbing in.

He directly wrapped his arms around her from behind, pressing her back against his embrace. Ji Nuan originally wanted to say that she was fine, but she could not help but gradually relax in his arms.

The man’s palm was warm and strong. Without allowing her to refuse, he pressed a hand against her abdomen. At the same time, he tugged the blankets up around her and then held her ice-cold hands gently. After a moment, he lowered his eyes to look at Ji Nuan, who still did not seem sleepy. “Is it still hurting a lot?”

Ji Nuan turned her head back; her eyes were shining with tears as she gazed at him. “It’s all right, today is a special circumstance. It’s because the sea water was cold that it’s painful now.”

The man continued rubbing gently against her abdomen. “I’ve called a doctor. If you can’t sleep, then wait for the doctor to check on you before sleeping.”

“There’s no need to call for a doctor, it’s just menstrual cramps. There’s really no need to trouble a doctor to come so late at night. If it still hurts tomorrow, I’ll go to the hospital to collect some medicine.” Ji Nuan rushed to sit up.

Consequently,—because she was only wearing a towel—the towel fell with her one movement.

Mo Jingshen met her gaze. Her porcelain-like skin, and some of the marks he had left on her last night at the Ji home were all revealed.

However, because Ji Nuan now had her great aunt protecting her, she did not think much. Her gaze was unbelievably innocent. She acted as though she had only dropped a coat.
