MY MASTER'S KISS - SEASON 2 EPISODE 65

Did she hang up on Mo Jingshen?

Ji Nuan picked up her phone and noticed there really was a missed call from him.

She quietly said to the man by her side, “Earlier, I was speaking to the person from BGY Group and didn’t notice it was your call before I hung it up. Afterward, I was in a rush to get here and didn’t check my phone.”

Mo Jingshen glanced at her, softly saying, “The deal went through?”

Ji Nuan happily nodded to him as she raised her hands to gesture ‘two’ and ‘eight.’ She fluttered her lashes at him. “Selling it at this price, after taking into account the initial costs, the profits should give your father a satisfying answer for now, right?”

Mo Jingshen’s gaze was deep as he pressed her hands down. “Even if you weren’t able to provide this answer, he can’t touch you anyway. There’s no need to work so hard.”

Qin Siting heard their words and chuckled from the side. “What? Hasn’t Director Mo already returned to America? He still hasn’t let Ji Nuan off?”

Mo Jingshen did not turn back to Qin Siting and instead lowered his head to look at Ji Nuan: “Have you eaten anything tonight?”

“I haven’t. I was just about to say.” Ji Nuan glanced at the various kinds of alcohol on the coffee table. “Isn’t it Nan Heng’s birthday today? I’ve already been here for so long, why haven’t I seen a cake?”

She had been in a rush after finishing her work, and after considering she could have some cake here, she did not even have a bite of dinner.

Qin Siting raised his brows and casually replied, “I drove here right after I finished a surgery. How would I have the time to buy a cake?”

Ji Nuan faltered and then turned back to look at Mo Jingshen.

Mo Jingshen indifferently returned her gaze. “Do I look like someone who would go out of my way to buy a cake to celebrate a man’s birthday?”

Ji Nuan pursed her lips. “Then what do we do? Even if you guys don’t like to eat it, but since it’s a birthday celebration, we should still carry out the formality. I should have called you before I came here. Coincidentally, I had passed by a cake shop that is not bad.”

“What is it called? Let the female bodyguard go buy it.” Qin Siting said.

Nan Heng heard the words ‘female bodyguard,’ and coldly swept a glance at him. “There’s no need for that. Someone is coming later. She’ll probably buy it.”

“Who is it? Isn’t it just us today?” Qin Siting shifted his gaze onto him.

Nan Heng smiled, casually leaning back against the sofa as he silently glanced at Qin Siting. His eyes appeared to be saying: Boy, you just wait to be tortured.

Qin Siting’s handsome brows moved. He was silent for a moment, and then, as though having thought of something, his face turned cold. “Don’t tell me…”

All of a sudden, the private room’s door was pushed open. A silhouette carrying a delicate cake box appeared in front of the door.

Ji Nuan’s gaze directly moved there.

It was a woman. Her figure was fair and slender, and her skin white and clear. Her eyes revealed her composure and sweet temper. She was most likely around Ji Nuan’s age, and her slightly curly, long hair flowed down her back. Her temperament was unique, yet it was not threatening. She carried a huge cake box in her hand.

“My apologies, I came late.” The young lady entered, smiling naturally and politely. Her gaze swept past the people sitting on the sofa, pausing at Qin Siting’s cold expression, but only for as short as 0.1 seconds. She then looked toward Nan Heng and Mo Jingshen with a smile.

At the same time, she said to Ji Nuan while smiling. “Nice to meet you, you must be Ji Nuan, right? We’ve met before, but I’m sure you’ve forgotten about it. I’m Shi Niange.”

“Miss Shi?” Hearing this, Ji Nuan finally recalled some impression of her.

Shi Niange was the young lady from Hai Cheng’s Shi Da Corporation. She was older than Ji Nuan by two years. The Shi family lived in America while their local company was stationed in Hai Cheng. They crossed paths several years ago when Ji Nuan accompanied Ji Hongwen to an evening ball.

In fact, there used to be a rumor that Shi Niange was the only one who could match up to Ji Nuan in terms of attractiveness. If the Shi family were located in Hai Cheng, the two of them would definitely have been named Hai Cheng’s Two Blooms.

The two did not interact much. When Shi Niange was studying in Hai Cheng, Ji Nuan was studying abroad. When Ji Nuan returned to the country, Shi Niange had headed back to America. Otherwise, perhaps they could have become good friends.

Ji Nuan stood up, moving over to help receive the cake from her. She said sincerely, “It has really been many years. Miss Shi, when did you return to the country? In the future, will you be residing in Hai Cheng, or will you return to America?”

“Since the Shi family’s local headquarters is in Hai Cheng, I might stay. But there might also be… other changes.” As she spoke, Shi Niange shifted her gaze to Nan Heng. “Did I ruin the atmosphere by bringing the cake over so late?”

“No, you came just in time. Mrs. Mo was nagging about the lack of cake.” As Nan Heng spoke, his gaze meaningfully shifted toward Qin Siting, who was silent all this time.

Ji Nuan felt the atmosphere was not quite right. She glanced at Nan Heng and then looked at Qin Siting. Cold air surrounded Qin Siting’s body who seemed to be suppressing a gloomy frost she had never seen before.

She then turned to look at Mo Jingshen. Mo Jingshen did not raise his eyes as he continued drinking his alcohol. This was clearly unrelated to him.

“I ordered the cake yesterday. When I went to collect the cake earlier, I found out their dessert chef had taken a leave and had only just returned in the afternoon. He only began working on the cake in the afternoon, so I had to wait rather long.” As Shi Niange spoke, she opened the box with a smile. “Miss Ji, when were you married? I didn’t even get my share of your wedding banquet.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Mo Jingshen. “CEO Mo didn’t even send a single wedding invitation to our Shi family. Aren’t you too lacking in sincerity?”

“Sit down first.” Mo Jingshen indicated for the two of them to sit down.

Ji Nuan and Shi Niange opened the cake together and brought out the candles. Afterward, she tugged on Shi Niange thinking to sit by the side with her.

All of a sudden, Qin Siting stood up. He picked up the coat placed on the sofa, casually and coldly saying, “I still have something on. I’ll head off first.”

Shi Niange’s actions paused. She stood by the sofa without moving, while Ji Nuan turned to look at the man who had a cold and heavy expression. She felt the atmosphere was not right and shifted her gaze from Qin Siting back to Shi Niange’s slightly pale and stiff face.

What was this situation?

Qin Siting left decisively and did not even look back. When he closed the door, he did it with force. The door was slammed shut with a loud ‘peng’ sound.

Coincidentally, the waiter entered with a warm fruit juice and a plate of sliced fruits on his tray. He was startled and almost dropped his tray.

Outside the door, Feng Ling saw Qin Siting leaving with a heavy expression and remained silent by the side.

Ji Nuan turned to look toward Nan Heng and Mo Jingshen. “What’s going on? Doctor Qin left just like that? Why didn’t the both of you stop him?”

“What for?” Nan Heng removed another cigarette from a box. “They had to meet eventually. If he wants to leave, let him. This is his own business, no one will stop him.”
