MY MASTER'S KISS - Season 5 Episode 86

By the time the car arrived at Ji Nuan’s place, the rain had already stopped. The ground was covered in puddles.

With a few steps, they would be covered in mud. As it wasn’t very convenient to cross the street, Ji Nuan decided to head to the nearest night market. She found a small restaurant and treated Mr. Vinse to a meal.

Although it was a simple restaurant, thankfully, the environment and food were clean. The taste was also simple and heartwarming.

“Previously, I heard from Xiao Ba that you’re a good cook, and you often prepare your own meals at home. I wonder if I’ll have the opportunity to taste your cooking in the future?” Mr. Vinse watched her with a gentle expression. It wasn’t his first time having a meal with Ji Nuan, but he would always put his cutlery down early to focus on watching the way she ate.

Ji Nuan held her forehead to sigh with a smile: “My cooking is only suitable to tease Xiao Ba and the rest, or to feed myself fully. It isn’t anything worth showing. You better don’t take her words seriously.”

“But why do I recall Xiao Ba saying that your cooking is really good. She mentioned that she often went to your place to eat when you were in England. She also mentioned that if it weren’t because of her boyfriend, she would never have moved away. She would rather stay by your side to be fed and raised well. Speaking of which, Xiao Ba is only your assistant, yet you treat her so well. Why do you seem to treat me like an outsider?”

Ji Nuan took a sip of her water and answered, “You’re right. I treat Xiao Ba so well, yet she’s been so talkative. She spills everything to everyone. It seems like I shouldn’t treat her so well from now on. If she knows too much about me, I’ll be clueless when this brat finally sells me completely.”

With a pause, she then continued: “I suppose she’s taking advantage of the fact that she’s been working by my side the longest. We’ve known each other for more than three years and are as comfortable as a family. We really don’t see each other as outsiders anymore.”

“Haven’t you known me for three years as well? Xiao Ba can head to your place to eat whenever she pleases, yet I can’t even have a single meal?”

Ji Nuan: “…”

Mr. Vinse watched her with raised brows and a smile. He did not continue pushing her with words, but he clearly had no intention to back down.

At the end of the day, the conversation strangely concluded with Ji Nuan owing him a meal. After they were done eating, Ji Nuan prepared to head home. Mr. Vinse wanted to walk her back but recalled that his phone was in his car. He asked for her to wait for a moment, but Ji Nuan rejected him. She told him to head straight home and turned to enter her residential area.

Perhaps it was due to a short circuit, but several of the streetlamps were out. The path from the entrance to her home was dark to the point where she could barely see her own fingers.

As the ground was covered in puddles, Ji Nuan walked carefully with her heels. All of a sudden, her phone rang. She brought out her phone from her bag and saw that it was a call from her company. She was about to answer it when a horrible scent mixed with alcohol came from behind her. She paused in her movements, and her eyes narrowed. She abruptly turned back and avoided the drunk man who had thrown himself in her direction.

The other party almost fell onto the ground, but his mouth had already begun muttering, “My wife… my wife… you’re finally back. Why are you avoiding me…”

She was abruptly called ‘wife’ by a short and fat man covered in the stench of sweat and alcohol. Ji Nuan felt a chill down her back as she took another large step back to avoid being touched by him.

“Wife… come home with me… what does that man have besides some money? How could he possibly dote on you the way I do? Come, come home with me…”

The drunk man stared at her as he spoke nonsensical words. He then approached and threw himself at her once more.

Ji Nuan immediately avoided him. She was about to return to the entrance to call for security. However, with a sudden bout of strength, the drunk man grabbed hold of her arm and hauled her back harshly. Ji Nuan almost fell into his embrace. With some difficulty, she backed away and said angrily, “You’ve recognized the wrong person, let go of me!”

“Don’t think that just because you’ve found a rich man and you’re dressed so beautifully, I won’t be able to recognize you… Wife, come home with me now…”

Ji Nuan was about to push the person away harshly. She had only just raised her leg to step on his feet when a black figure abruptly rushed forward. The figure raised his fist and slammed it against the drunk man’s face. The drunk man immediately took several steps back and fell heavily onto the ground.

Ji Nuan was dumbstruck. She turned back and saw that Mr. Vinse had actually charged forward and struck the man onto the ground. After giving the man another punch, he stood up and held Ji Nuan’s wrist. With a stern and concerned expression, he asked: “Are you all right?”

Ji Nuan shook her head and wanted to say that she was fine. A drunk man wasn’t actually that big of a problem for her, but she never expected Mr. Vinse to charge forward abruptly.

Mr. Vinse’s expression was poor. He was about to bring her to security to settle this debt; they had actually let such a person in. Who would have thought the drunk man would curse heavily as he stood up, “Fuck! Slut! This old man treated you so well, yet you ran away with a rich man! I’ll kill the both of you—” He abruptly brought out a fruit knife from his pocket and charged forward with reddened eyes.

By the time they reacted, a flash of light had reflected before their eyes. Ji Nuan’s heart slammed against her chest as she cried out, “Be careful!”

Mr. Vinse quickly brought Ji Nuan to his side. As he covered her, he instinctively raised an arm to block the fruit knife. As a result, he received a harsh cut against his arm, causing blood to cover his sleeve.

The drunk man was about to raise his knife to continue. Thankfully, the security guards had heard the commotion, and a group of them charged over to press the man down.

The drunk man was still yelling but could not stand up.

Ji Nuan quickly turned around to hold onto Mr. Vinse’s arm. She pursed her lips to say: “Using your own arm to block; do you think yourself to be made of bronze? Come home with me. I’ll clean your wound.”

Mr. Vinse originally wanted to say it was only a small cut and not too serious. However, when he heard that Ji Nuan was going to allow him to her home, he immediately nodded obediently. “All right.”

At that moment, even if the security did not rush over, the two bodyguards hiding in the dark were already prepared to charge over. Who would have thought that Mr. Vinse would return?

On the other side, Mo Jingshen had yet to leave the company. He listened to the soft and apprehensive report over the phone: “When Miss Ji was on the way home, she met a drunk man downstairs. Mr. Vinse received a small surface wound because of this. Miss Ji has already supported Mr. Vinse back to her home.”

The man had yet to step out of the office. His handsome face was concealed under the dark, raining sky. He was gripping his phone tightly.

And so, not only did Ji Nuan have another meal with that man today, but she had also brought that man, who had obvious intentions for her, back home?
