MY MASTER'S KISS - SEASON 3 EPISODE 59

As soon as he said this, the room fell into another silence.

Almost all of the people showed varying degrees of surprise.

At first, they thought Mo Jingshen’s marriage would be all about interest and that he did not hold deep feelings for Ji Nuan. She was merely his nominal wife. They were more like good partners instead of a loving couple. After all, a successful businessman wouldn’t mind this sort of trifles.

It would be impossible for Mo Jingshen to confess his love for his wife in front of so many people. Besides, in today’s world, no one would be moved by the word ‘love.’

They all thought so.

However, the simple and common words of Mo Jingshen immediately silenced the principal’s daughter. She forced a smile in embarrassment and dared not provoke Ji Nuan again.

“So, President Mo is confessing his love for his wife? Do you do this to her at home every day?” A leader laughed.

“I have to say it’s the first time I saw a man confessing his love to a woman on this sort of occasion. Mrs. Mo and Mr. Mo must be deeply in love. Look how much President Mo cares about her….”

“Oh, the longer you live, the more things you will see. I’m old, but it’s the first time I saw a scene of ‘public display of affection.’ Is it called so, right? I learned this expression from one of my students not long ago…”

Ji Nuan’s face blushed. She hurriedly picked her glass and took a sip of water in case people would notice her red face.

The principal’s daughter was so embarrassed that she said she needed to use the restroom and left the room. The principal was embarrassed too. He should have checked about Mo Jingshen’s marital status in advance. Now his daughter lost face and so did he.

The leaders began to flatter each other again. Ji Nuan smiled politely and began to enjoy the food quietly.

At this time, she received a call from Ji Hongwen. Ji Nuan got up to answer this call out of the room. Ji Hongwen’s voice was cold. “I know what Mengran had done. Don’t take it to heart. It’s not the first time she had done this sort of stupid thing. I’ve given her a chance over and over again, but she just doesn’t stop, and now she even went all the way to T City to frame you. Nuan Nuan, don’t believe her bullshit. I’ll give you an explanation to you for sure.”

Ji Nuan knew Ji Hongwen had gone back to Hai City. Unfortunately, he didn’t have time to visit her before he went back.

“I’m all right. Dad, don’t worry too much. I know how to deal with this matter.” Standing out of the room, Ji Nuan held her cell phone and said gently, “You’ve just gone back to Hai City and should sleep early. These insignificant family matters are easy to solve. Your health is what matters most. Don’t be angry or worried because of this incident.”

“Mengran’s really gone too far. If I don’t do something to stop her, she will only behave more terribly!” Ji Hongwen said angrily. “She is almost in her twenties, but she just stays at home all day and does nothing. At her age, you were studying abroad. I’ve really spoiled her. I’ll send her abroad in two days. This will save me from a lot of trouble, and she won’t be able to pester you and Jingshen.”

Ji Nuan took a look at the time. “I’m having dinner outside. It’s not sure when I can go home. I’ll call you if you haven’t slept when I go back home, okay?”

Ji Hongwen paused and said, “Just go about your business. You don’t have to call me. But Mengran said nonsense to you. Do you…”

Ji Nuan just said, “Dad, although her words were not trustworthy, her words can’t be out of thin air. I hope I can be your daughter forever, but I also want to know the truth. I’m already an adult. I think we can find a chance to have a talk and clarify some matters.”

“Okay, there isn’t much time left before you graduate from T University. Let’s talk when you come back to Hai City.” Ji Hongwen knew what Ji Nuan meant. He couldn’t comfort her by telling her to keep calm and not to overthink, because she was already calm.

Ji Hongwen’s attitude proved that what Ji Mengran said was true.

Ji Nuan said “Yes” and hung up after several more words with Ji Hongwen.

She put her cell phone into her bag. She was about to go back to the room when the principal’s daughter happened to come back from the restroom.

Ji Nuan nodded at her and motioned for her to go first, but the principal’s daughter didn’t move. She stood at the door of the room and said in a sweet voice with a smile on her face, “Mrs. Mo, I’m sorry for offending you just now.”

As the daughter of a university’s principal, she surely wasn’t stupid. Although she was hostile to Ji Nuan just now, Ji Nuan could understand her behavior just now. No one would be happy if your blind date’s wife suddenly showed up.

However, only the principal and his daughter took this dinner as a blind date. To Mo Jingshen, it was merely a tedious social activity that he failed to reject.

“How long have you been married?” The principal’s daughter still couldn’t help asking.

Ji Nuan took a look at her. “It will be a year in a month or so.”

“Oh, it seems that I’m ignorant, indeed. Sorry… about what I said just now. Please don’t mind it, Mrs. Mo.” The principal’s daughter was not stupid. Since she had no chance to get Mo Jingshen, she should face reality and give up her unrealistic dream. She apologized to her because she didn’t want to annoy President Mo or his wife, so she said these words to make up.

But to be honest, Mo Jingshen had publicly shown his love for his wife just now. No one except idiots would still dream of replacing Ji Nuan. Obviously, Mo Jingshen loved Ji Nuan very much. Who dared mess up with her?

By saying these words, she was trying to save herself out of embarrassment.

Ji Nuan just smiled at her and slightly shook her head to show that she didn’t mind. The two of them pushed the door open and entered the room, laughing together.

After the dinner, the leaders dared not keep Mo Jingshen too late. They didn’t dare invite him to KTV or a nightclub because they weren’t sure whether he liked it. Also, he brought his wife with him.

In the end, they just exchanged pleasantries at the table. Ji Nuan didn’t talk much but just raised her eyes to cast a polite look at them now and then.

The dinner was finished in a happy atmosphere. Before leaving, some leaders wished Mo Jingshen and his wife a happy life and tried to praise Ji Nuan’s performance in T University, but the latter was too low key, so they had no impression of her before. In the end, they could only say—

“Mrs. Mo’s grades are really good.”

“…”

The corner of Ji Nuan’s mouth twitched.

It must take you great efforts to find such a virtue of mine.
