The Warm Breeze Is Not As Warm As You Chapter 106

The man stood by the door . His cold brows instantly knitted after seeing how she had frozen in place and had even wrapped herself with the robe and towel like a snowman .

“Come here,” he mildly said, his tone did not betray a hint of his emotions .

Ji Nuan remained unmoved where she was . She thought he had returned to the evening party, but he had actually…

Left to buy her food?

“During the incident tonight, you fell unconscious, and your body was cold like ice . Right now, you're standing in front of the window to feel the breeze . Do you want to fall badly ill?” Mo Jingshen's voice was slightly heavy . “Close the windows and come here . ”

Ji Nuan did feel slightly cold . Earlier on, she had only thought the breeze would help clear her mind . After seeing Mo Jingshen's gaze becoming colder, she closed the window .

Walking over, she glanced down at the food he was holding . Just by the scent alone, she could tell it was the few dishes she usually enjoyed .

She raised her eyes to see Mo Jingshen looking at her robe . He did not appear as cold as before .

“You didn't return to the party?” Ji Nuan cleared her throat, speaking somewhat unnaturally . “I thought…”

Mo Jingshen stretched his hand out to hold her cheek . Ji Nuan startled, raising her eyes to look at him .

Her skin felt ice-cold . He did not speak, but his cold, charming brows furrowed . His warm palm gently rubbed her face until Ji Nuan's expression was no longer as stiff . He then placed the takeaway in his other hand down on the table by the side .

“One An Shuyan alone was enough to anger you so much . If I were to return now, you might dare to jump down from the eighteenth floor,” Mo Jingshen's said briskly .

Ji Nuan: “… I haven't reached the point where I don't want my life . ”

Mo Jingshen glanced at her, reaching out to hold her chin . His cold and bright pupils looked at her in askance . “Awake now?”

“I took a shower just now . It cleared my mind a bit . ” Ji Nuan attempted to turn her head away but was held firmly by him . She was unable to s.h.i.+ft her gaze away .

She raised her eyes, meeting his . The man's eyes were slightly dark and heavy . He focused on her for a long moment . “How do you explain Sheng Yihan?”

Ji Nuan lifted her eyelids, her tone slightly disapproving . “We don't have much relations.h.i.+p . He has always been Xia Tian's main doctor . Whenever I visit Xia Tian at the hospital, we'll unavoidably have to interact a bit . ”

Seeing Mo Jingshen watching her with that cold, dark gaze, she could not help but knit her brows as she continued explaining, “He is returning to the Sheng family soon, and he invited me to attend the evening party together . Initially, I didn't know exactly what this party was about and wasn't planning on attending . In the end, I was still brought here because of a series of accidents… I was afraid that there was something fishy, so I kept refusing to go in . Afterward… I saw you and An Shuyan…”

Ji Nuan's gaze flitted up to him somewhat casually . Even if she did not speak, her meaning was clear .

What she meant was that she completely had no intention of being someone's female companion, nor did she wish to have any relations with Sheng Yihan .

Was it not all because of him? Otherwise, there would not have been so much trouble today .

Understanding her expression of self-indignant complain, Mo Jingshen was angered and couldn't help but chuckle .

The hand that was pinching her chin softly stroked her skin, causing her to s.h.i.+ver for some inexplicable reason .

“Eat something first . ” He placed his hand down, opening the takeaway boxes on the table . Inside the delicate, transparent boxes were Ji Nuan's favorite Chinese style vegetables and pastries . There was even a warm gla.s.s of fruit juice .

Ji Nuan's mood was initially slightly low . However, after clearing her mind, she could not be bothered to make any more fuss . She sat down to pick up the chopsticks for a bite .

“How did you know that I haven't eaten anything?” she casually asked while eating, her eyes fixed on the food in front of her . She did not look at the man beside her .

“Earlier on, when you were puking, all that came out was alcohol . If I couldn't tell, how could I still be your husband?” Mo Jingshen saw she was willing to be somewhat cooperative and knew not to be upset with her own body and stomach . His tone became a lot gentler . It was no longer as icy cold as before .

Ji Nuan's mouth was stuffed with food . She paused for a moment, before playing around with the rice with her chopsticks . She mumbled with her unclear voice, “So you're actually aware of whose husband you are . ”

Mo Jingshen's brows moved . He rubbed her head as though rea.s.suring her and chuckled lowly .

Hearing that he was actually laughing, Ji Nuan struggled to swallow all the food in her mouth . She then raised her head to glare at him . “Mo Jingshen, even if I'm more clear-minded, it doesn't mean that I'm no longer angry! You actually still dare to laugh?”

“So, right now, you feel wronged?” He was still chuckling, tapping her angry and displeased brows with his finger .

She did not feel wronged!

She was angry!

Mo Jingshen was the Mo family's only rightful successor . He was also the most favored successor . So long as he nodded, no one would dare to block him from attaining everything .

Furthermore, the Mo family's foundation had always been very stable . Even without the An family's support, he could still become an influential figure in the American Chinese business . His position could not be threatened at all . No matter how she thought about it, the relation with the An family was but one built on mutual benefits only .

Everything was but based on Mo Jingshen's father's wishful thinking . Yet, from the way everyone spoke, it was as though if Mo Jingshen did not marry An Shuyan, it would be his loss .

Which woman would not be upset after hearing those words?

To prevent this little woman's stomach from filling up with anger even from a simple meal, Mo Jingshen sat by her side and placed the warm gla.s.s of juice in front of her . His tone was clear and heavy as he patiently explained, “Remember my promise to you to send Secretary An back to America in a week?”

Ji Nuan choked for a moment and quickly grabbed the gla.s.s of juice, drinking a mouthful before she barely swallowed .

Mo Jingshen's hand gently rubbed her back . While helping her to breathe, he quietly said, “Mo Corporation and s.h.i.+ne Group's cooperation was originally meant to be completed in two weeks, but it was forcefully reduced to one by me . The reason I've been working overtime at the company for meetings and attending social events more frequently is also because of this . ”

Ji Nuan's expression was startled . “Was it because of me that you squeezed the work meant to be completed in two weeks into one?”

Mo Jingshen smiled . “My father indeed planned on keeping An Shuyan in Hai Cheng, but I'm somewhat aware of the An family's and An Shuyan's situation . Tonight was a trap set up for them . Every step was part of the plan . The goal was to send An Shuyan back to America successfully and to avoid forming any bad blood with the An family . ”

Seeing Ji Nuan's eyes suddenly holding a hint of apology, he lightly chuckled . “After all, the Mo family and the An family have years of friends.h.i.+p . I can't let things turn too sour between the two family's elders . That is also why you had to witness such a scene today . ”

Ji Nuan finally realized this jealousy she fell into today was a big case of mistaken jealousy . She said bashfully and slightly apologetic, “Tonight, it's true that I didn't see much…”

What she saw was only An Shuyan accompanying Mo Jingshen to event as his female companion . Regardless of words or actions, it was true that Mo Jingshen and An Shuyan did nothing intimate .

Mo Jingshen raised his hand to pinch her face full of self-reproach . “Are you still jealous? Still going to run around by yourself? Still going to be angry? En?”
