MY MASTER'S KISS - SEASON 3 EPISODE 78

Ji Nuan looked at her and got up, went to the table, and sat down.

Feng Ling opened the bag and took out the soy milk and steamed buns in the meal box. “I know you probably don’t have much of an appetite, so I bought two kinds of steamed buns with different fillings, one with beef and onions and the other with eggs and zucchini. Do have some food.”

Without a word, Ji Nuan drank a mouthful of soy milk, then picked up a steamed stuffed bun and took a bite.

As soon as she took a bite, the delicious and strong smell of beef filled her mouth, and for no reason, Ji Nuan suddenly felt sick. She jumped up, rushed into the bathroom, and retched against the toilet.

“Mrs. Mo?” Feng Ling was worried. She put down her chopsticks and followed her out; Ji Nuan retched for quite a while but didn’t throw up anything. Her stomach seemed to have something wrong, and she kept retching. Seeing this scene, Feng Ling hurriedly poured a cup of water for her and handed it to her when she finally stopped retching and stood up.

“Why did you suddenly throw up? What’s wrong with you? Do you need to see a doctor?” Feng Ling stared at her with care.

“I’m fine. I had a lot of stomach trouble when I just came to T City. Maybe I was too nervous just now.” Ji Nuan rinsed her mouth and washed her face with cold water. She went back to the dining table, looked at the steamed buns, and had no appetite. The beef filling smelled disgusting. Although the beef was clean and looked delicious, she just felt it was disgusting.

She didn’t want to eat the steamed buns of vegetable fillings either. In the end, she just took half a glass of soy milk, but soon she covered her twitching stomach with her hands, saying, “I can’t drink it anymore. I’m going to throw up again if I drink some more.”

Since she obviously had no appetite and had already finished half a glass of soy milk, Feng Ling didn’t force her to continue to eat. “Go to your bedroom and take a nap. Shall I buy you some stomach medicine?”

“No, I’ll be all right in a moment. Let’s deal with it when we go back to Hai City.” Ji Nuan walked to the couch and sat down. Where she sat was right opposite to the door. She sat stubbornly there, looking at the door.

From morning to afternoon, Mo Jingshen didn’t show up.

She leaned back on the couch, held the pillow in her arms, and picked up her cell phone, trying to call Mo Jingshen again.

His cell phone was still powered off, and nobody answered the call.

She took a deep breath and looked at the quiet door.

“Mrs. Mo, do you feel better now?” Feng Ling sat down beside her and asked her gently, carefully avoiding mentioning Mo Jingshen.

Ji Nuan didn’t answer. After a long silence, Ji Nuan said calmly, “Feng Ling, let’s go back to Hai City.”

Feng Ling paused, looked at Ji Nuan’s seemingly calm look and nodded. “Okay, I’m going to order the tickets.”

Ji Nuan didn’t speak anymore. She leaned on the couch and looked up at the apartment she’d lived in for three months.

From the apartment to the airport, and from boarding to landing in Hai City, Ji Nuan had been silent.

When they walked out of Hai City Airport, a silver-gray Porsche was parked outside, which had apparently come to pick her up. Ji Nuan didn’t call a car, nor tell the Ji family and the Mo Family about her flight number. Why was there a car to pick her up?

She cast a questioning glance at Feng Ling, and the latter said, “It’s not convenient to inform the Mo Family of what happened to Mr. Mo, so I called Dr. Qin before boarding and told him you had stomach troubles this morning. I was worried that you might be airsick today, so I asked him if he could come to pick you up. Since he happened to be free today, he came here.”

Qin Siting?

Ji Nuan paused and didn’t speak. As soon as she walked to the car, the door beside the driver’s seat was opened. Qin Siting was not wearing his doctor’s gown but a light-colored shirt and trousers instead. He got out of the car and took a look at her. With that idle smile on his face, Qin Siting raised his eyebrow at her. “Wow, Mrs. Mo, you look different from before. As the saying goes, wisdom in hold, elegance in mold. You look like a corporate executive now. I’m afraid those old men in my family won’t be able to compete with your studio in the future.”

“Dr. Qin, sorry for troubling you to pick me up since you are such a busy man.” Ji Nuan nodded at him politely.

“Never mind. Put your luggage over there. Get in the car.” Qin Siting didn’t speak anything more. He motioned Ji Nuan to get into the car and then walked around to the other side to put their luggage into the trunk with Feng Ling.

Ji Nuan wanted to carry her own luggage, but the actions of the two of them were so agile and quick that she didn’t even have a chance to touch her luggage. Ji Nuan didn’t insist and sat in the back of the car.

Seeing her listless, Qin Siting shut down the trunk and glanced at Feng Ling. “She already knows?”

Feng Ling answered, “I can’t keep it from her. Luckily, she seems to be calm, but I don’t know about her real thoughts.”

“Calm?” Qin Siting sneered. “That’s impossible. She just tries to look composed in case we will be worried about her. If she can’t control her own emotions, who can help her? In this world, only Mo Jingshen will care about her. Now Mo Jingshen is missing, and she can only count on herself.”

With that, Qin Siting walked to the car and knocked at the rear window.

Ji Nuan turned down the window and looked at him. “Yes, Dr. Qin?”

“Feng Ling said you threw up with after taking a bite of steamed bun. What’s wrong with you?”

“It’s okay. I’m all right now.”

“I’m going to send you back to Yu Garden, and we’ll pass by my hospital on the way. Let me take you to the hospital to have an examination.”

“Don’t bother. Just send me to Yu Garden…”

Qin Siting ignored her words, opened the car door, and sat in the driver’s seat.

Feng Ling got into the car too. She looked at Ji Nuan. “It’s not bad to have a check in the hospital. Otherwise, I’ll be worried about you.”

She merely threw up. Why should she be worried about her?

Ji Nuan had thought she was pregnant when she threw up, but now she was not in the mood to think about it. Even if she was pregnant, so what? At most, she would have an upset stomach.

Ji Nuan didn’t say anything more. After all, Qin Siting specially came to pick her up. If he insisted on taking her to his hospital, she couldn’t just force him to send her to Yu Garden, nor could she jump out of the car, so she would just let him.

In the car, Qin Siting took a look at the time, then at Ji Nuan from the rearview mirror as he drove. “He will come back. Don’t be worried. Nan Heng has already sent his men to search for him. Although that place is dangerous, we are not sure whether he was ambushed or something else. Don’t do stupid things.”

After a short pause, Ji Nuan said, “I don’t even know what he had been up to in the US. Even if I want to do stupid things, I have no clue what to do. What can I do now?”

Qin Siting smiled. “The one who knows nothing fears nothing. That’s good for you.”

“The one who knows nothing fears nothing? You mean he is in a situation even more dangerous than I think?” Ji Nuan suddenly looked at him.

Qin Siting raised an eyebrow, turned the steering wheel, and drove the car away from the highway, not answering her question.
