MY MASTER'S KISS - SEASON 1 EPISODE 79

“Based on the fact that I’m your older sister! Based on the fact that I got everything I have openly and fairly! Regardless of how arrogant and conceited I used to be, I’ve never once schemed to go against my own family members nor thought of stealing my own sister’s husband! Ji Mengran, this is called not wanting face even when people give you face!” Ji Nuan did not hesitate with her words at all, no longer considering their relationship.

Ji Mengran was first shocked, then started trembling from head to toe in anger. She never thought Ji Nuan had actually known everything.

So… everything she had done, Ji Nuan had been aware?

Had she deliberately plotted against her scheme?

Was that why she reacted so smoothly today?

Ji Mengran suddenly felt some fear. She held onto her red face, choking with a sob as though acting weak. “I-I didn’t think of that either. I just couldn’t get used to how you used to treat Brother Jing Shen and felt you weren’t good enough for him and you didn’t deserve him, which was why I…”

Suddenly, Ji Hongwen appeared. It was not clear how long he had been there, but the words they had spoken, he had heard them all.

Ji Nuan saw him approach and expressionlessly walked over to him. “Dad, I’ll leave this to you.”

Finishing her words, she walked out of the backyard and did not look back.

Ji Mengran turned back to see Ji Hongwen’s darkened expression, and her face turned white from fear. “Dad…”

Ji Hongwen did not speak. Only when Ji Nuan walked far away from them, her back facing them, did he raise his hand to slap Ji Mengran across the face with a loud “pa” sound.

Ji Mengran did not have the time to prepare herself and was thrown to the floor by the force.

She raised her head, staring in fear at the raging Ji Hongwen. The coldness of fear spread across her four limbs, enveloping her entire body.

“The words you said earlier, were they all true?” Ji Hongwen’s brows harshly furrowed.

“I…” Ji Mengran looked at him, crying. “Dad… I really just felt that Big Sister was not good enough for Brother Jing Shen and that it was unjust to Brother Jing Shen! I can explain today’s incident, I…”

“Stupid!” Ji Hongwen’s eyes were burning with rage. “How could I have a daughter like you! So many years, I’ve seen countless grudges and hatred among wealthy families, but I never thought my own daughter would stoop so low as to do something like this!”

Ji Mengran saw Ji Hongwen’s expression and did not dare to say even a single word. Her entire face was pale, looking almost transparent.

——

The table full of guests had already forgotten the small incident earlier. The words of blessings rang once more through the guest hall.

Elder Mo smiled and replied with several words. He carefully placed the chess book he had held like a precious baby back into the sandalwood box, at the same time calling Mo Jingshen to his side.

The grandfather and grandson sat together. From start to finish, Mo Jingshen had a faint smile. After all, Elder Mo had taken everything that happened earlier into consideration.

“That Ji Mengran, does she have some ideas toward you?” Elder Mo asked with a voice that only Mo Jingshen could hear. “I’m somewhat aware of Ji Nuan’s family situation. Ji Hongwen’s character is not bad. However, these two daughters still lost their own mother when they were young. Right now, the Ji family’s second daughter sees Ji Nuan as an enemy. In the future you should let Ji Nuan return less. If you’re free, then bring her here to walk around. This old man may not have other abilities, but I can still protect my granddaughter-in-law.”

Mo Jingshen smiled. “All right.”

Coincidentally, Ji Nuan returned at this moment. The moment she entered the guest hall, she noticed Mo Jingshen obediently and considerately sitting by Grandfather Mo’s side. His face carried some rare warmth and patience.

Her heart trembled slightly.

Mo Jingshen tall and broad body sat lazily against the chair pressed next to Grandfather Mo’s. The guest hall’s light filtered through the surrounding decorations, lighting up half of the man’s face—tall and noble, like the clear grass in the heavens. Yet, as though there was sunlight falling on him, it brought a sense of warmth that made him feel closer.

Ji Nuan accidentally got caught up in her thoughts while looking at him.

All the prominent figures in society here had unique temperaments and identities. Everyone’s presence was difficult to ignore.

However, even in such a situation, Mo Jingshen remained the most eye-catching. Regardless of his self-restraint or his every action, he was the most dazzling.

“This Ji brat is back.” Grandfather Mo saw her and raised his hand to wave her over. “What are you doing standing there? Come here, sit next to Grandfather.”

Ji Nuan walked over. She had initially intended to go to the other side of Grandfather Mo, but for some reason, she walked over to Mo Jingshen’s side and sat next to him.

She, of course, did not plan to show off their affection, but it was an instinct. Her feet completely did not listen to her, moving directly to his side.

Elder Mo saw all of this and had an even happier smile. Taking the opportunity while some wealthy wives had gone up to chat with Ji Nuan casually, he softly asked Mo Jingshen, “What you said about preparing for a child, was it true?”

Mo Jingshen softly chuckled. “What do you think?”

“Pei! Look at how you are speaking, what do you mean by what I think? I think this Ji family’s brat is sincere toward you now. Since you, husband and wife, reciprocate each other’s feelings, then take this opportunity to nourish her body well! Quickly let her have a child. This way, this old man can spend the entire day coaxing children and have no energy to deal with other things.”

Ji Nuan secretly heard Grandfather Mo’s words and turned back to look at them. However, she first met Mo Jingshen’s eyes.

She had initially still been embarrassed about the topic of having to prepare for a child. After meeting Mo Jingshen’s gaze, she saw that his eyes were as deep and profound as the deep ocean. It felt like… he really planned on agreeing with Elder Mo…

——

The guests had all left, and the time was no longer early. Mo Jingshen was the eldest grandson in the Mo family. It was unavoidable that he had to drink some alcohol. Their plan to drive back home were thrown aside, as Grandfather Mo told them to stay over at the old Mo mansion for the night.

After marrying him, Ji Nuan never once stayed at the Mo family home. It was only today that she learned that although he rarely came home, his room was still cleaned every day.

Although the Mo family’s old mansion was called the old mansion, most of it was rather new. Only the exterior of the main house’s first three floors appeared slightly old. However, because the Elder yearned for the past, it was never remodeled.

The several villas at the back were all stunning. The mansion was positioned right beneath the mountain range, and she heard that closer to the mountains, there was also a hot spring that was several tens of years old. Rarely anyone from outside soaked in the hot springs. Only the Mo family members had the right.

This place had the fresh air that belonged to green mountains. It also had the peace and health that people in the city rarely have.

In the villa furthest away from the mansion, the entire three floors belonged to Mo Jingshen alone.

The main bedroom was Mo Jingshen’s room. Although the number of times he returned home was few, no one else dared to enter this place. The place that belonged to him, few people would dare to intrude.
