“I'm sorry for disturbing the both of you . ” Although An Shuyan received a blow, she still maintained a polite smile . She took a good look at the man soaking in the hot spring with Ji Nuan before abruptly turning to leave .
As An Shuyan's footsteps finally became softer, Ji Nuan leaned her chin on Mo Jingshen's shoulder . “Secretary An is actually rather good at tolerating . Based on her IQ and EQ, she can endure failures and grievances, but it's clear you've hurt her pride . For a proud woman, her pride is her true bottom line . ”
For a moment, Ji Nuan had caught a hint of dejection in the cracks of An Shuyan's facade . Perhaps actually catching a glimpse of the two of them being intimate in the hot spring was much more painful to accept than hearing about their affections .
Mo Jingshen brushed away her wet hair from his neck, placing his hand on her collarbone . Ji Nuan turned to see the man's approaching face .
Mo Jingshen's tone was calm . “Do you want me to consider her pride or your feelings?”
Ji Nuan knitted her brows and bit down on his shoulders . “Why are you pushing this life-or-death question onto my lap?”
“One is a woman unrelated to me with pride unrelated to me . The other is the wife I've recognized; the woman who will accompany me for the rest of my life . There is a clear line between the two, but she is unable to recognize it . ” Mo Jingshen rubbed her ears, his voice low and unhurried . “You know it's a life-or-death question, and the correct answer is placed right here, yet you insist on having me say it out loud to satisfy your curiosity . ”
Ji Nuan moved her lips away from his shoulder and gave him a kiss . “Looks like I have to place a stamp of approval on the world's number one best husband!”
“You can place a stamp on it, but a kiss is too simple and ineffective . ” The man held her waist under the water, deepening their kiss . “When we go back to the room, properly stamp it again . You can do it as you please . ”
Advertisement“Don't mess around . This is the Mo home . It's more important to take time to chat with grandfather tonight . ” Ji Nuan spoke earnestly .
Mo Jingshen's tone was earnest as well . “It's also important to accompany your husband to bed . ”
After soaking for a long time, Ji Nuan decided to leave the hot spring and return to their room to rest . She remained inside changing her clothes .
When Mo Jingshen stepped out of the hot spring, he saw An Shuyan still dressed in her robe, her lengthy hair flowing down her back . When she heard him moving, she turned back to look at him .
“CEO Mo . ” An Shuyan regarded his graceful and warm good looks unaffected by the heat of the hot spring . “This is after all the Mo family, and we're here as guests . Thankfully, the one who entered earlier was me . If it had been Uncle Mo or my father, I'm not sure how they would think of Ji Nuan . ”
An Shuyan's meaning was clear; she was secretly hinting that Ji Nuan had seduced him here . If the two of them had been intimate, it was the same as not giving Father An and Father Mo the respect they deserved .
The only words she had yet to use were 'offending public morals . '
“Typical husbands and wives would occasionally be a little intimate . I didn't think we would be an eyesore to Miss An . ” Ji Nuan had already changed as she stepped out . She did not wait for Mo Jingshen to speak up and approached with a smile . “Miss An has an outstanding family background and keen intelligence to boast, so your sight would naturally be set high . However, such a sanctimonious judgment should not be used to appraise us . ”
Ji Nuan approached Mo Jingshen's side and then threw another glance at An Shuyan . “We are legally wedded . Don't just mention kissing or hugging, even if we were to really do something unrestrained, it still would not even be slightly implicated with offending public morals . ”
An Shuyan had thought to borrow the opportunity to speak with Mo Jingshen alone, but she never expected Ji Nuan would appear so quickly .
And this taboo topic of 'unrestrained matters,' was, of course, something only Ji Nuan and Mo Jingshen could do .
An Shuyan was silent for a moment before smiling slightly . “Mrs . Mo, we have had few interactions, but I still don't know you especially well . I'll be leaving tomorrow . Are you sure you want to leave me with such an impression?”
Ji Nuan wanted to smile . It seemed like this An Shuyan was genuinely invested in Mo Jingshen . Even if she could not obtain his future, after returning to America, he will always remain as the evergreen tree and bright moonlight in her heart . She would not let any other woman stain her impression of him .
“What sort of person am I, Miss An, you should be most aware of this . From the first time we met in the office, you had already thoroughly investigated my background . Furthermore, I say, is the impression I leave you very important?” Ji Nuan raised her brows and lightly chuckled . “Miss An, it's all right to be conceited, but don't be too arrogant and place so much importance on yourself . ”
Mo Jingshen coldly said, “The Mo family is Ji Nuan's home . She is free to act however she wishes to at home . There's no need to hide anything . ”
An Shuyan turned to him and suddenly smiled . “I had always thought your feelings for Ji Nuan arose from the responsibility of marriage and a moment's passion . After all, for someone who is always calm and rational like you, I had thought you would consider all the gains and losses when stepping into marriage and love . But I never expected you would be so serious with her . ”
Mo Jingshen did not speak . His gaze remained unperturbed .
An Shuyan tilted her head up, looking at him . “A person standing too high shouldn't devote all his feelings . You're a rational man, yet you choose to live like this?”
Mo Jingshen did not plan on speaking further with her . He held Ji Nuan's hand and headed out .
The instant he moved passed her, An Shuyan abruptly asked, “Do you think the both of you will be able to be together forever?”
“We will . ” Mo Jingshen turned back, returning her gaze firmly . His tone was mild, yet it heavily slammed against Ji Nuan's heart .
“You're sure you won't divorce?”
“I'm sure . ”
He did not have the slightest bit of hesitance or uncertainty; his tone was beyond calm, as though he was speaking of something natural .
The embarrassment on An Shuyan's face could no longer be masked . She stared at him for a long moment before turning away to leave quickly . Her footsteps were slightly frantic .
It was as though that exchange did not impact Mo Jingshen at all . When An Shuyan was far away, he intertwined hands with Ji Nuan and walked out .
After walking for a short distance, Ji Nuan's heart skipped a beat . Her thoughts were hazy as she suddenly tugged on their intertwined hands to hug him from the back .
Mo Jingshen's footsteps immediately stopped .
He turned around to return her embrace . “What's wrong?”
She tilted her head up in his arms . “Together forever without a divorce, ah . Right now, my appearance is still attractive, but when I become old and wrinkly, are you sure you won't be tired of me?”
Mo Jingshen furrowed his brows . “When you're old and wrinkly, I'll be older than you . ”
“You can't say that for sure! They say a man in his forties is a flower blooming, but a woman in her forties is dried and flaky like soybean residue!” Her arms tightened around him . She joyfully refused to let go of him .
