Chapter 664: She Was Easily Caught by the Man and Thrown Onto the Bed
To regain her position by Mo Jingshen’s side required too much courage; it also required her to give up a lot.
It wasn’t completely impossible, it was just that...
Ji Nuan picked up her purse and stepped out with him. She lowered her head in the elevator, her eyelashes obstructing her view of the shadow next to hers.
In fact, to watch as Mo Jingshen returned to America again also required a lot of courage.
He once left for ten years without looking back; today, he was similarly aware of those years as she did. America was still a place that haunted her, yet the Shine headquarters was located right in Los Angeles.
Mo Jingshen pinched the hand she had obediently left in his palm, watching her through the reflection of the elevator doors: “Can’t bear for me to leave? Do you want me to stay in Hai City with you?”
Ji Nuan was startled. She raised her head. “No.”
Shine Group would never move back to the country as MN Group group did. Keeping him in Hai City permanently was impractical, and she had never once considered it.
Mo Jingshen stared at her face, his lips curving into a smile. A moment later, he spoke calmly: “In the past three years, I’ve completely rebuilt the Yu Garden. If you wish for me to stay in Hai City, the condition is for you to move back to the Yu Garden with me.”
Ji Nuan: “...”
She was astonished/ “The Yu Garden has been rebuilt?”
Seeing her startled expression, his handsome brows moved slightly. “Weren’t you always unhappy with Yu Garden’s furnishings? When we first got married, Grandfather took matters into his own hands and renovated it as he pleased. We didn’t participate in the arrangements at all. We’ve already bid our farewells to the previous Yu Garden. The Yu Garden today is the home I’ve genuinely poured my heart into building; all that’s left is for you, it’s female owner, to return.”
“No... Mo Jingshen, don’t you have to return to America?”
Although Ji Nuan could not understand his intentions in especially taking her out for dinner right before he left for America, she had strangely felt that he wouldn’t be coming back anytime soon. Yet, he abruptly brought up the Yu Garden and even mentioned that he had completely renovated their wedding home, that it was waiting for her return.
Could it be that he... planned to stay in Hai City?
The two headed to a Western-style restaurant downstairs. After entering, a waiter brought them to a quiet and elegant table before Mo Jingshen finally released her hand and allowed her to sit.
Ji Nuan ordered most of the food, while Mo Jingshen only asked for a steak. Most of the dishes brought out were thus Ji Nuan’s.
Mo Jingshen also spent most of the time watching her eat.
“The portion size in this restaurant is quite small. How will you be full with that small steak?” Ji Nuan picked up a portion of foie gras with a thin bread as she watched Mo Jingshen. He had barely touched his steak.
“I’m not very hungry.”
“Didn’t you come to look for me for dinner because you were hungry?” Ji Nuan silently placed another portion of foie gras on a piece of bread and added various toppings inside. She then handed it to him: “Eat this.”
Her heart had clearly softened yet her appearance remained stubborn. Even though she didn’t bring up a single word about missing him, her expression seemed to fear that he would starve. Mo Jingshen smiled and received the food. He cooperatively ate the foie gras she had wrapped for him.
Afterward, he continued watching her eat. In the end, Ji Nuan could not help herself. Thankfully, she had ordered too much. She sent item after item onto his plate and forced him to eat more.
——
Now that it was autumn, Hai City had more rainy days. Even though the weather was good when they had left the office, it was now raining.
The office building entrance was only a five minutes walk away, but the two did not bring a pair of umbrellas with them. Mo Jingshen sent her back to the office, and in the short few minutes, the two quickly became drenched.
Even though Mo Jingshen’s outstanding temperament wasn’t affected by the rain, in a rare act of kindness, Ji Nuan allowed him to take a shower in her break room. She also called someone to head to a nearby twenty-four-hour department store to purchase a set of men’s clothes for him.
Mo Jingshen took a shower and rubbed his hair with a towel. His bangs were damp and laid against his forehead, causing the originally quiet and stern man to appear more seductive. He also strangely appeared to be more restrained.
He changed into a set of black dress shirts and pants she had someone deliver from the department store. It was from a brand he frequently wore. It seemed like there was no need for the two of them to exclaim about their understanding of each other. Small details like this were sufficient proof that their husband and wife relationship was actually quite good. Aside from the misunderstandings that had happened in the past, even if the two hadn’t actually gotten a divorce, it seemed like there wouldn’t be anything wrong with it.
The man stepped out after getting dressed. Ji Nuan, who had just returned from the vice-CEO’s breakroom for a shower glanced at him, various thoughts coming to her mind.
“Ji Nuan.”
“En, ah?”
Mo Jingshen watched her, catching her vivid expression as she saw him dressed in the clothes she had bought. Without a change in expression, he spoke with his voice heavy and low as it usually was: “Have you thought through it? Do you want to move back to the Yu Garden with me?”
To return to Yu Garden would be to leave their former enmity behind and to restart their marriage. She would return to being Mrs. Mo.
Ji Nuan sat on the edge of the bed in the breakroom and carelessly picked up a pillow, holding it in her arms. She lowered her head to look at the pillow, clearing her voice to say: “Let’s talk about it when you return from America. There’s so much work for you to handle there, we don’t even know when you’ll be able to come back. There’s no point in me thinking too much about it right now.”
Mo Jingshen silently watched her.
Ji Nuan coughed. “You’ve showered and changed your clothes. It’s time you head back, isn’t it? I’ll stay in the office today. I won’t keep you any longer.”
“Ji Nuan.”
“You should know that my breakroom isn’t as large as yours. It’s barely big enough for me to sleep in, you better not have ideas about staying here tonight.”
It was true that her break room wasn’t large, but that didn’t mean it couldn’t even hold Mo Jingshen.
Mo Jingshen approached and tugged her pillow away with one hand, tossing it onto the bed behind her. He spoke calmly: “I’ll be returning to America tomorrow. Right now, are you planning on cutting ties with me after I leave? You said that you’ll wait for my return, but I’m afraid that by the time that happens, you would have escaped to the ends of the earth and it’ll be impossible for me to find you. Don’t think I don’t know that you’re as slippery as a mudfish these days.”
Ji Nuan: “...”
He calmly asked: “Are you returning to the Yu Garden or not?”
Ji Nuan glanced at him. “I already said we’ll talk about it when you’re back.”
“You’re sure you won’t run away?”
Ji Nuan had a guilty conscience. “Hai City is only so big, where could I possibly run off to? It’s not as if I can return to London...”
Before she could finish her words, the man bent down and leaned close. Ji Nuan faltered and subconsciously sensed that this man had no plans of leaving for tonight. She stood up to escape but the moment she took a single step forward, she was easily caught and tossed back onto the bed.
