MY MASTER'S KISS - SEASON 1 EPISODE 80

At night, it was quiet.

Ji Nuan could not find a hair dryer in the bathroom. She walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her hair.

The moment she walked out, she saw Mo Jingshen enter, carrying the winter air of the autumn night and the fresh woody scent of the old Mo mansion. Under the light, his expression seemed to soften. His gaze instantly darkened after seeing her walk out of the bathroom.

By this time, all of the guests had left. Mo Jingshen did not need to stay in the guest hall any longer.

When her father and Auntie Shen left, although their expressions were not as happy as others, they still brought Ji Mengran on the car. Ji Nuan did not bother to check on Ji Mengran’s appearance. From the corner of her eye, she noticed her sorry-looking figure. She did not even dare to make a single sound as she rushed into the car and closed the door.

“Today, the incident where I gave Grandfather his gift, although I was not the one who was humiliated, there were so many guests watching. Earlier when you were sending them off, surely many of them brought it up, didn’t they?” Ji Nuan asked.

Mo Jingshen lowered his head to glance at her. “Everyone here today knows how to write the word ‘decorum.’ Although they brought it up occasionally just now, the moment they step out of the Mo family doors, no one will dare to say a single word to outsiders.”

Ji Nuan was surprised. “Ah? Did you tell them something while I was away?”

“There’s no need to worry about them. I’ll deal with it.” Mo Jingshen appeared extremely calm, “You did well today. Killing the chicken to warn the monkey. In the future, those who view you as an enemy will think twice before scheming against you. Relax and be Mrs. Mo, I’m here to support you for everything.”

“Oh… then what did Grandfather say?”

“Him? He is, of course, completely biased toward you. Although Grandfather is old, he still sees things clearly.”

“That’s good. I don’t mind leaving a poor impression in other people’s eyes. But Ji Mengran caused such trouble today, although she gained no benefits, this event could not be considered small. It is still not a good thing to have displayed.”

Mo Jingshen’s eyes were dark, watching her. “Grandfather Mo would never let you suffer any loss in the Mo family. There will definitely be someone who can’t sleep tonight, but the person will never be you.”

In an instant, Ji Nuan appeared much more reassured. She pursed her lips. “The incident today must have angered my father terribly. The flesh on the palm and the back of the hand are both your own flesh. Both sides are his daughter.”

Mo Jingshen’s tone was low and heavy, and as indifferent as ever. “Did you think that before this he didn’t find Ji Mengran’s actions strange? He only chose not to mention it because of their father-daughter relationship. He was also forced to move by today’s situation because of his own second daughter. You did nothing wrong; there’s no need to mind it.”

“Oh.”

Ji Nuan raised her hands toward the loose towel she had tied over her head, supporting the towel that was about to fall off and using it to rub against her wet hair. She had a dazed expression for a moment before asking, “What about you? If I had fallen for her scheme today and lost my face, what would you have done?”

Mo Jingshen lowered his eyes to look at the little woman who had just showered. Her eyes were still slightly moist. He reached out to pinch her chin.

“There is still a Shen Heru in front of you. I let her off today because I took the Sheng and Ji family’s face into consideration. However, if she really dares to push you into an ugly corner, I don’t mind using the son she has broken off relations with to threaten her. We’ll see if fighting with you is more important or the life and future of her son.”

The man’s voice was low and indifferent, but Ji Nuan’s heart felt full and steady.

This is why it’s important to have a good husband…

She fully understood that Mo Jingshen would only do one thing—to give Ji Nuan a sense of security that no one else could replace.

Regardless of the time, he would always help her solve every problem. Even if she were to fall for someone’s scheme, he would not allow her to lose.

——

The next day, to combine the two small property companies into one, Ji Nuan was settling the finances and various other issues. She was so busy that she even forgot to eat.

The time was already past ten at night. Mo Jingshen had yet to return home. Ji Nuan stretched her waist lazily, picking up the phone to check the time only to realize that there were two missed calls from Xia Tian.

She had been working previously and had a two-hour-long video conference with people at the office. Her phone had been switched on to silent mode.

Ji Nuan directly called Xia Tian back. The call quickly connected.

Xia Tian’s voice was extremely warm. “Nuan Nuan, did your husband tie you to the bed? Does he finally bear to let you check your phone?”

Ji Nuan pursed her lips. “Mo Jingshen most likely has a lot of work tonight. He isn’t home yet.”

“He isn’t home? Then why did you take so long to call back? I thought that you and Mo Jingshen would be busy chopping up wood and lighting up the fire every night, using all the different positions at least once.”

Ji Nuan turned to sit by the bed, picking up a pillow to hold in her arms. “Can your brain focus less on these things? You’re an unmarried girl, but your mind is even more lecherous than mine.

Xia Tian giggled, sitting on the bed as she took a bite of watermelon.

During this period, Ji Nuan did not go to the hospital. She asked, as though testing, “Recently you’ve been so quiet. You barely called me. Is there someone accompanying you?”

Xia Tian stuffed her mouth full of watermelon. Her voice was slightly unclear. “How did you know?”

Ji Nuan’s heart fell. “The man who knocked you down previously, is he chasing you?”

“…” Xia Tian’s mouthful of watermelon almost went down the wrong way. She coughed several times before scolding in a hoarse voice, “Darn, can you see the future? I haven’t seen you in a few days, and you’ve already become half a goddess?”

Ji Nuan’s expression became cold.

She was very familiar with Xia Tian’s half-concealing, half-embarrassed tone.

Everything was as she expected.

It’s only been a short period since she visited her, yet this bastard still squeezed himself in!

The next morning, before it was even 7:00 a.m., Ji Nuan directly drove to the hospital.

Walking out of the elevator, before even arriving in front of the hospital door, she saw Xia Tian being supported back from the bathroom by a tall and thin man.

Xia Tian raised her head and discovered Ji Nuan. Her expression filled with surprised immediately. “Nuan Nuan?”

Ji Nuan did not say a single word. Her cold gaze flitted across the man’s face before she pushed open the door and walked in.

Only when Xia Tian was supported into the room and sat on the bed did the tall man turn to look at Ji Nuan. He stretched his hand out, wearing a polite expression. “Are you Ji Nuan, the good friend Tian Tian often mentions? Hello, nice to meet you. I’m Li Mingen, I am…”

Ji Nuan appeared as though she heard nothing. She sat on the sofa on one side of the room, looking expressionless. Her entire person was displaying a never seen before coldness.
