MY MASTER'S KISS - Season 5 Episode 48

At eight thirty in the morning, Ji Nuan returned to MN Group.

The point was that she came back in Mo Jingshen’s car.

During the hour in the car, except when Shen Mu asked her if she was tired walking on the asphalt road in high heels and she answered him, no one spoke.

After arriving at MN Group’s office building at the western end of the city, Ji Nuan said thank you and got off the car. She did not want to be asked all sorts of questions by Xiao Ba and Xia Tian after they found out who sent her back, so she got off the car hurriedly.

Seeing Ji Nuan get into the company so quickly, Shen Mu wondered if she was being chased by a ghost. Why did she leave in such a hurry?

As soon as she got back to the office, Xia Tian’s voice came from outside, who began to murmur as soon as she entered, “I thought you said you would only stay in the resort for one day after the fair, but you stayed for two days. I should have helped you prepare more clothes. Did you bring only one suit of clothes? You just hung out at the resort with those big shots without changing clothes for two days?”

Ji Nuan went into the lounge to change and said as she went out, “A vacation is a vacation. We just had casual talks. I didn’t need to dress up. They sell beachwear in the resort and I bought one.”

Xia Tian frowned. “So, you drove back by yourself?”

Ji Nuan didn’t answer. She sat down at her desk and took a break. Then she picked up her bag and was about to take out her phone when her finger touched the cold blue diamond in it. When she was in the car, she had the impulse to return the blue diamond to Mo Jingshen.

But in the end, she refrained from doing so.

It was quiet in the car, and Mo Jingshen had been reading some documents. He had no intention of talking to her as if he were just sending her back as a favor. Although no one spoke, it resolved the embarrassment of the two staying in a closed space.

She didn’t want to break the peace, but once she started the conversation about the blue diamond, it wouldn’t have been so smooth on the way.

Besides, Shen Mu was also in the car, so she couldn’t just return the blue diamond to him in the car. Now, looking at the blue diamond, Ji Nuan raised her hand and rubbed her forehead with a sigh.

Not getting an answer from Ji Nuan, Xia Tian turned her eyes to her bag. “I was too rushed to ask you the other day when I helped you put the necklace on, where did you get this blue diamond? I had never seen you wear it before. Did you keep it at home? Did someone gift you this when you were in Britain?”

Ji Nuan put the bag aside. “I got this before the divorce. Guess who gifted me this?”

Xia Tian’s eyes lit up when she heard this. “Who did you meet at the fair? Did you see CEO Mo? Was he also at the resort?” she asked, leaning over the desk with interest, and looking at Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan smiled and came straight to the point. “You and Xiao Ba knew from the beginning that I was going to meet him. You did that on purpose?”

Xia Tian sneered at her ungrateful attitude. “You’ve never been interested in other men after divorce. You can’t stay single all the time, can you? MN Group’s operation is already on track. You don’t have to work so hard. It’s time to consider your love life. If you still can’t forget CEO Mo…”

“No, he has nothing to do with me now. Let bygones be bygones.” Ji Nuan looked down at the stuff on the table. “Who submitted this document?”

Seeing that Ji Nuan didn’t want to continue this conversation but got down to work, Xia Tian winked at her with a smile. “I heard the receptionist said you came back in a black Bugatti. Although such luxury cars are common in Hai City, your car is not a Bugatti, is it? Where’s your car? Whose car did you get back in?”

Ji Nuan held her forehead in silence and looked at the document in her hand.

Seeing that she remained unmoved, Xia Tian sighed. “What did we say when we were both single? Either we stay single together, or we get married and have kids together. Now I’m going to have a baby soon. How about you? You don’t even have a man close to you. If you really don’t want to have any contact with your ex, why are you so cold to Mr. Vinse? As an eligible bachelor, he has been waiting for you for more than three years. You…”

Ji Nuan shook her head. “I don’t like a man too shrewd.”

“Then why didn’t you refuse him earlier?”

“I did, but Mr. Vinse pretended not to hear that, nor did he pester me. He just treats me to dinner or does me a favor once in a while. He didn’t show up as a pursuer, giving me no reason to drive him away.”

“So, if these excellent men learn to draw in their claws, you’ll love them, too?”

“…”

Ji Nuan hadn’t thought about it.

At least she hadn’t thought about romance all these years.

“Maybe… perhaps, I’m not interested in men right now, so don’t worry about me. I just returned to China, and you and Xiao Ba are already busy matchmaking? You don’t want me to live a life of ease, do you?” Ji Nuan rolled her eyes at Xia Tian.

Xia Tian sneered. “Xiao Ba said although you had a brilliant career in the UK, your love life was blank. Especially in the first year when you came to the UK, you would often stare out of the window and couldn’t hear anyone. We think that you’d better get married before you are twenty-five. Otherwise, it’ll be very difficult for a successful woman with beauty, money, and a career like you to find a suitable man to marry. And in a few years, when you grow older, it’ll be even more difficult…”

Her last sentence was bottled up in her mouth. Xia Tian thought it over and did not say it.

Her last sentence was that besides, you were divorced, and your ex is the big shot, Mo Jingshen. Very few men dared to marry you.

She knew she couldn’t say it. From what she knew of Ji Nuan, if she did, Ji Nuan would immediately drive her out and ban her from entering MN Group’s office building before she gave birth to her child.

For better or worse, she had worked hard for MN Group for so many years. If she annoyed Ji Nuan and got kicked out, it was not worth it.

Ji Nuan didn’t want to talk to her, but seeing Xia Tian looking at her unblinkingly, she thought about it and said, “Mr. Vinse called last night and asked me to have dinner at the new Italian restaurant in the commercial street this weekend, and I said yes, satisfied?”
