MY MASTER'S KISS - Season 5 Episode 16

“It’s the document Mo Corporation had sent over two months ago. I haven’t opened it yet. At the time, you were the one who received it for me. You even asked what it was. You should have some impression of it.”

“Oh, oh, I recall it now. I’ll go look for it!”

After hanging up, Ji Nuan mildly glanced at the darkened phone screen.

A moment later, she dialed another number. “Previously, we discussed expanding the studio’s joint venture to London, England. I’ve approved of it, and I’ll head personally to London to sign the contract.”

After discussing various issues, Ji Nuan fell into another long, deep sleep.

She slept for longer than twenty-four hours, frightening Auntie Chen into calling Doctor Qin over. In the end, after Doctor Qin gave her a checkup, he directly rolled his eyes to say: “I thought something serious had occurred. Isn’t she just sleeping? What’s there to be nervous about?”

“But Madam woke up yesterday. At that time, it seemed like she was already fine. Why is she sleeping for so long…”

“She’s just sleeping deeply. She will wake up when she wishes to.” Doctor Qin kept away the stethoscope and took a glance at Ji Nuan, before turning away to leave.

Hearing Doctor Qin’s words, Auntie Chen could only stay by Ji Nuan’s side to wait.

Xia Tian and Xiao Ba busied themselves for a day at the studio before returning. That night, Ji Nuan finally awoke again.

Indeed, just as Qin Siting had said, she was only sleeping. Although she slept longer than usual, when she woke up, her spirits appeared much better than before.

Ji Nuan had opened her eyes to the evening sky outside the windows.

The windows were opened, and the air was clean and slightly cold. She supported herself with the bed railings and slowly sat up.

“Boss, you’re awake!” Xiao Ba entered to see that Ji Nuan had sat up on the bed. She rushed over and pointed at the envelope she had left by her bedside. “Is this what you were referring to yesterday?”

Ji Nuan turned over for a glance. “Yes.”

“What sort of document is it? It’s already been delivered to you for a really long time, hasn’t it? When I brought it out yesterday, I saw that it was actually unopened.” As Xiao Ba spoke, she opened a thermos flask with Auntie Chen. They wanted to let Ji Nuan eat a little.

“Did you bring a pen?” Ji Nuan asked.

Xiao Ba flipped through her bag and brought out a rollerball pen: “I did. But why do you need a pen, boss?”

“Put it down. Leave me for a moment.”

Auntie Chen and Xiao Ba exchanged glances. Xia Tian wasn’t in the room, and the two did not pay much attention. They only saw that Ji Nuan appeared to be in a good state and quickly placed the thermos flask down, turning to step out of the room.

They closed the hospital room door from outside.

Ji Nuan tugged the sheets aside and got off the bed. She picked up the envelope and tore it open, bringing out the A4 sheets of paper inside. On the first page, the two words ‘Divorce Agreement’ was distinct and unpleasant on the eyes.

After seeing the header on the first page, she did not bother to look at the contents of the other pages. She directly flipped to the last page and opened the pen Xiao Ba had left her to sign on the blank space left for the female party to fill in.

There were two copies of the divorce contract. As Ji Nuan picked up the second copy to sign, Xia Tian pushed open the door to enter.

Xia Tian saw the words ‘Divorce Agreement’ from afar. Her eyelids twitched as she abruptly rushed forward. However, she was still one step behind. Ji Nuan had already signed the papers and returned it to the envelope, sealing it well.

“Have you gone mad?” Xia Tian asked in disbelief.

“Mail it out for me tomorrow,” Ji Nuan calmly replied.

Xia Tian rushed to press down the bag by her hands, turning to look at Ji Nuan’s seemingly composed expression. “Who was the one who said she’ll never divorce Mo Jingshen in her lifetime? What is this divorce agreement about? Why did you sign on it? When did you print a divorce agreement? Why are you divorcing!”

Ji Nuan looked at her. “The agreement was printed a while ago. Mo Jingshen was the one who mailed it to me.”

Xia Tian’s expression faltered. She appeared to understand something from Ji Nuan’s gaze and tone. Her hand slowly moved away from the bag, and after a long moment, she finally said, “You’ve been so quiet recently. Have you been suppressing this in your heart?”

Ji Nuan did not answer her question. Instead, she said, “I agreed to Mr. Zand’s suggestion and am preparing to move to England. Will you and Xiao Ba come with me?”

Xia Tian’s breath was caught in her throat. “I won’t ask about your divorce. But your studio is still in its early stages of development, and it has only just shifted locations. Even if you wish to reach for better opportunities, BGY and WK are also great prospective partners. Why must you leave all the way to England? Mr. Zand is famous for his devil’s hand in England’s financial world. He can, indeed, bring you countless opportunities. But if you choose to work with him, you won’t be able to return for quite a while. Are you sure you want to leave everything behind…”

Ji Nuan calmly lifted one side of her lips. “Rather than staying within the country, I can gain so much more by going to Mr. Zand’s side. Currently, BGY and WK are not drawing external investors yet. If we take this step forward right now, by the time WK and BGY begin to propel forward, we would already be miles ahead of them. Who said that my only goal is to build this small studio well? Who says that I can only rely on the resources of various large local property corporations to survive? We can clearly do better than them, can’t we?”

Xia Tian’s words were caught in her throat. She understood Ji Nuan too well, and so at this moment, all she could say was: “Must you leave?”

“Are there any reasons I should be staying in Hai City?” Ji Nuan refuted.

“Rubbish. It’s not as if you won’t be able to live after divorcing your man. You still have me, ah! There’s still the Ji family. There are so many people here…”

“It’s not as if I’m never returning. This is simply an abroad partnership that will take some time to mature. Coincidentally, you’re around to take care of Hai City’s studio for me. If Xiao Ba is willing to follow me, let her come. It’ll be good training for her.”

“And Mo Jingshen? Divorce is but a legal process. Will you really be able to let go of him? Can you really… forget him?”

“I suppose so. He is already dead. What’s there to hold onto.”

“…”

…

Two days later, Mo Corporation abruptly received a package. The sender was Ji Nuan, and it was addressed to Mo Jingshen.

As Mo Jingshen had left for Lin City last night and would only be able to rush back in the afternoon, Shen Mu went to receive the package for him. As it was part of his job scope, Shen Mu always checked through all of the company’s packages for problems before sending them to Mo Jingshen’s hands. Thus, he did not hesitate and directly opened the envelope.

After seeing the contents of the envelope, Shen Mu’s expression became lifeless.

He rushed to dial Ji Nuan’s number and attempted to find clues from her words. However, she had no intention of denying anything.

Ji Nuan’s counterattack was swift and heartless, leaving them with no way of retaliating.

Mo Jingshen returned to the company right before the sky had turned dark. Shen Mu, who had yet to knock off from work, sent the document to his office.

“CEO Mo, this is… what Mrs. Mo has sent over.” Shen Mu’s suppressed his tone: “It’s two copies of a signed divorce agreement.”

After returning to his office, Mo Jingshen had immediately begun scanning through several documents. He had only just opened a file sent over from the finance department and was holding a cool-toned, radiant fountain pen to read through it. Hearing Shen Mu’s words, the pen around his grip abruptly twisted downward, leaving behind an ugly, long, blue mark on the paper—
