MY MASTER'S KISS - SEASON 2 EPISODE 61

Miss Han thought she would be able to escape. However, Ji Nuan only glanced at her, looking amused.

“I didn’t plan on taking things too far, but if an apology alone can resolve everything, what’s the use for the police?” Ji Nuan spoke charmingly, her delicate brows moving mockingly. Her voice was gentle yet frosty.

Earlier on, wasn’t this Ji Nuan acting like a frail, innocent girl in front of Mo Jingshen? What happened? With the backing of Mo Jingshen, was she beginning her act again?

Miss Han gritted her teeth, resisting the urge to speak up. Under the gaze of her father, she unwillingly maintained her apologetic attitude. “It’s just a glass of red wine, there’s no need… no need to involve the police, is there…”

Miss Lin, who had been stubbornly kneeling on the ground in refusal to take off her clothes, stood up abruptly. Her gaze contained hatred as she spoke up, “CEO Mo, you don’t know how arrogant this Ji Nuan actually is! Even if you don’t help her, she would similarly be able to climb above our heads! It’s because you’re present that she’s acting so kind and innocent! She isn’t as delicate as she appears in front of you! She’s really disgusting!”

Ji Nuan raised her brows. “May I ask if you are still stubbornly stuck on me not saving you any face earlier? Didn’t you hear Miss Han’s words? I was framed. Do I have to be gentle even when I’m proving my innocence?”

Miss Lin rolled her eyes at her before turning to look at Mo Jingshen; she refused to believe he would really be taken by her act.

Few people enjoyed the sight of things going so well for Ji Nuan. The several wealthy young ladies at the back watched as Miss Lin spoke up and decided to chime in. “That’s right, I really didn’t expect Mrs. Mo to be so good at acting… CEO Mo, the moment you showed up, she buried herself in your embrace and acted so fragile. This transformation really causes one to exclaim in admiration…”

In an instant, the hall began ringing with various, similar judgments.

It came from the ill-intentions of several wealthy young ladies; all spoke openly and honestly without fear.

Many of them wished to see Ji Nuan fall into true despair and to witness her sorry figure when she was abandoned.

Even if they could not be firm enough before the eyes of Mo Jingshen, they refused to believe that with so many accusations, Ji Nuan would be able to clear herself of all the charges. Even if they could not rip off one layer of her skin, they had to at least watch her make a fool of herself.

Miss Han took this change in circumstances to stare at Mo Jingshen with wide eyes. When she met his ink black pupils, her voice trembled with agitation. “CEO Mo… I’ve already apologized for wronging Mrs. Mo. But earlier on, the way she mocked me was really out of line. I’ve always admired you wholeheartedly. Even before your marriage, I’ve always tried to find opportunities to meet you. Back then, my feelings were unstable, which led to my suicide attempt. To me, this is a dark part of my past, but Mrs. Mo brought this up in front of everyone. She prodded at my scar and mocked me… There’s nothing wrong with liking someone. Furthermore, CEO Mo wasn’t even married back then. Shouldn’t she apologize to me?”

Mo Jingshen was unaffected as he calmly glanced at her. “Should I applaud and yell ‘good’ at your attempted suicide, or should I be impressed by every woman who admires me? What do your dark past and poor ways of handling matters have to do with me?”

Miss Han’s expression turned stiff and pale. “I… I was speaking about how Mrs. Mo poked at my scars. I’ve already apologized to her, so she should also…”

Mo Jingshen’s tone was indifferent. “Do I look like someone who would seek justice for a person unrelated to me or a justice warrior who would bother helping out the person that wronged my wife?”

A woman who was unrelated to him, bringing up the past to beg for his sympathy; or perhaps, one could say that she was attempting to obtain his care.

Yet, in the eyes of Mo Jingshen, aside from Ji Nuan, everything else did not concern him.

Miss Han bit her lip and gripped her half-opened clothes. Facing the man she had always liked, she lowered her head with grievance and choked with emotions. “But she…”

Mo Jingshen was no longer looking at her. He turned toward the crowd who had been attempting to wrong Ji Nuan earlier. His eyes were calm and unaffected.

“As my wife, she can be delicate and domineering as she pleases. In the first place, a woman should be gentle when she needs to be, and when she needs to be firm, it’s only suitable that she does so.”

The man’s voice was calm, yet his words completely forced all the intelligent people watching to shut up. The hall fell into a deathly silence once more.

Miss Han released a breath. She appeared unsatisfied and hateful as her gaze moved back and forth between Ji Nuan and Mo Jingshen.

All of a sudden, someone spoke up from the crowd, “Miss Han, are you still taking off your clothes?”

The silence was suddenly broken. The last shred of rationality and pride Miss Han had been holding onto also cracked.

That person’s words worked like flipping a switch. Several people who had been waiting to watch Ji Nuan make a joke out of herself now understood what they need to do to protect themselves from being implicated.

People were often like this. Throwing stones at the person who had fallen into the well was also a favorite pastime of these wealthy young women. No one would be concerned with what was right and what was wrong. Someone had to take on the full brunt of this crisis to protect everyone else and to pacify the woman in Mo Jingshen’s embrace. Perhaps it would save them a lot of trouble.

Miss Han’s eyes reddened. She held her clothes tightly, refusing to take it off. Her vision was completely filled with the sight of Mo Jingshen embracing Ji Nuan, and it almost angered her to death. She gritted her teeth and targeted Ji Nuan. “The man whom you’ve stolen from some other woman is now protecting you so dearly. Mrs. Mo, you must be very pleased with yourself, aren’t you?”

Ji Nuan glanced at her mildly; not understanding what her words meant.

On the other hand, Mo Jingshen’s gaze caused Miss Han to feel as though she had been plunged into an ice-cold pool. Her entire body was covered in chills, but she was still driven mad by the anger. The abandonment by the crowd made her lose her rationality. She suppressed the fear in her heart to yell out, “Ji Nuan, what look is that? Don’t you know Mo Jingshen was once engaged in America? He had a fiancée… Ah!”

Miss Han had yet to finish her words when Feng Ling slammed her leg against the back of her knees. She abruptly fell forward into a kneeling position.

“You have so much to say even when taking off your clothes. Do you need me to do it for you?” Feng Ling spoke coldly.

Miss Han could not stand up from the pain. She knelt on the ground, gripping her clothes and trembling in silence. She carefully raised her eyes; the moment she met Mo Jingshen’s ice-cold eyes, her entire body was covered in goosebumps.
