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

Chapter 152-153

Chapter 152: This Man Had a Cold Indifference That Could Cause Fear to Seep into Bones

Seeing she was relaxed and confident, Mo Jingshen held her waist and tugged her into his embrace. His low voice carried a hint of warning. “In the future, no matter what happens, you’re not allowed to run up to cover me. Remember it well, do you hear me?”

Ji Nuan smiled. In that sort of situation, even if it were not a cup but a knife, her instincts would have been to rush out, nonetheless.

Mo Jingshen brought her back to their room and had a helper bring an ointment over. He directed her to sit down and leaned over to help her rub that fist-sized bruise on her leg.

Ji Nuan stared at him and asked, “Did you live in Los Angeles for a long period?”

Mo Jingshen’s hand paused for but a blink of an eye before he continued pouring out more yellow-colored ointment to massage her leg.

“When I was studying in America, I lived in Los Angeles for around two to three years.” Ji Nuan stared at him. “Have we met before?”

Mo Jingshen stood up, closing the ointment bottle and tossing it to the side.

He returned her gaze. “What do you think?”

What does she think?

There were only vague impressions left in her mind when it came to that period in America. After all, so many years had gone by in her previous life. Why would she spare the effort to reminisce about those days in school?

Thinking back now, she could not recall if she had met Mo Jingshen.

Any woman who had seen a man like him once would surely have a long-lasting impression of him. Even though Ji Nuan had already seen plenty of outstanding men since she was young, if she had met someone like Mo Jingshen, she was sure that she would not forget him.

“Probably not,” Ji Nuan murmured to herself.

Mo Jingshen watched her; his eyes deepening profoundly.

At the same time, in the Ji family’s villa.

It was already midnight. Ji Mengran’s room was well-lit, but the atmosphere was incredibly stifling.

Earlier, she had dialed An Shuyan but had coldly received the following words: “Second Miss Ji, you don’t need to waste time trying to reap any benefits from me. From the beginning, we’ve never been working together. Please don’t call me again.”

The call was then hung up.

Initially, she had planned on making use of the sharp blade that was An Shuyan to push Ji Nuan off of Mo Jingshen’s side smoothly, but she had never expected An Shuyan would return to America so quickly. The reason behind her call was to gain a clear understanding of Mo Jingshen’s current situation with Ji Nuan. Yet, she had actually received such a distant reply.

Clearly, this An Shuyan was in the same position as her. They both itched to push Ji Nuan away from this world, yet she acted as though she was of great importance; who was she trying to show this arrogance off to?

Returning to America was the same as leaving after facing a defeat. She was a failure, yet she acted as though she was above all.

What was even more surprising was that Mo Jingshen’s father’s interference did not shake Ji Nuan’s position as Mrs. Mo. If Ji Nuan could be more suspicious or as pampered as she used to be, she would surely have continuously fought with Mo Jingshen.
