“Nan Heng was right today . Sometimes, we can't blame others for being too cold-blooded . We can only blame ourselves for being too weak,” Ji Nuan snuggled in his arms, carelessly and softly speaking .

Ji Nuan was slightly drunk today . Mo Jingshen stared at her for a long while without speaking before he carried her into the villa .
After entering, her arms remained around his neck as she looked at his handsome face . “I need to work harder… hard enough so I can chase up to your footsteps… so I can work hard to support my new life…”
The two words, 'new life' caused the man to pause momentarily . It was only a short moment before he carried her into the room, leaning down to place her on the bed .
Looking at the little woman's dazed eyes, he propped himself up by the bed to watch her, calmly saying, “You're not allowed to touch alcohol again . ”
It seems like in the future, even if it was just a cake, he had to taste it first to be sure .
He was taking back the promise he made previously about the cake .
“Mo Jingshen . ”
“En?”
“I want to become stronger . ”

“I want to become more capable . ”
“I want to become capable enough so I wouldn't have to rely on anyone's sympathy or help . So I can completely be in charge of my own life . I need to become strong enough so I won't be fearful of any risk for life and death . I also want…”
The man abruptly kissed her, pressing her words back .
Ji Nuan was originally drunk . After being kissed for a while, she really could not speak and kept quiet . She closed her eyes and held his neck .
Ji Nuan fell asleep very quickly, while Mo Jingshen lowered his head to watch her .
Ji Nuan woke up in the middle of the night to discover that Mo Jingshen was not by her side . She sat up and rubbed her slightly messy hair before climbing off the bed . She pushed aside the study door and the balcony windows but could not find Mo Jingshen .
Standing on the balcony, she looked down at the Yu Garden's parking area and saw the black Ghost was not parked in its position . She was not sure when it had been driven away .
She did not have any intention of being drunk today, but after mixing the fruit wine in the cake with the alcohol in the fruit juice, she was left with a headache even after sleeping .

She stood on the balcony for several minutes, but the cold air did not help; her head still ached painfully . She rubbed her forehead and turned to return to the room . After closing the windows and falling back into bed, she grabbed her phone to call Mo Jingshen . However, she only heard the sound of a woman's voice going, “I'm sorry . The number you've dialed is currently unavailable…”
Ji Nuan tossed her phone to the side . Her head was really aching badly, so she grabbed a pillow and pressed it heavily against her scalp, forcing herself to continue sleeping .
At this moment, the black Ghost was speeding down the road . Mo Jingshen called Nan Heng .
The call was quickly connected . Nan Heng was slightly tipsy from drinking, and his tone was lazy . “I thought that after sending Ji Nuan back, you would start a passionate fire with your woman at home and wouldn't have the time to head out again . ”
Mo Jingshen: “…”
He initially did not plan on leaving Ji Nuan alone at home . However, the woman was drunk and would occasionally spout nonsense . She was also on her period, and after helping her shower, he felt wide awake . If it weren't because of it, he would not have left just because of a call from Nan Heng .
“Didn't you just drink tonight . Why did you go to Qin Siting's place to drink again?” Mo Jingshen coldly and indifferently asked .
Inside Qin Siting's villa, Nan Heng sat on the sofa . He narrowed his eyes at the bright lights indoors, before shifting his gaze onto Qin Siting who stood by the ceiling-to-floor windows gloomily . He chuckled mockingly, “This old man was afraid that he would take things too hard and came for a look . He's been standing like a log in front of the window for half an hour . I suspect he has entered the state of a true Buddha and can no longer hear any of my words . ”
Mo Jingshen apathetically replied, “It was his business; you shouldn't have interfered . ”

After sitting here for several more drinks, Nan Heng was slightly drunk . His long fingers rubbed his brows . “I owed Shi Niange a favor in America . Otherwise, do you think I would've cared to mess with her old trifle matters with Old Qin?”
Nan Heng was not someone who enjoyed being a busybody . If it weren't because Shi Niange chose his birthday to insist on bringing a cake, and coincidentally, Nan Heng had been feeling the urge to mess with Qin Siting for the past few days, he would not have bothered to interfere with their matters .
He cared even less about whom to help . It was just that Qin Siting had been living a lonely, insipid life for several years . After seeing that he was living like a monk, the sight of it was like an eyesore to him; he thus decided to bring some excitement into his calm life .
Mo Jingshen calmly spoke while driving, “Are you still there right now?”
Nan Heng: “Recently, he seems to have acquired a lot of good drinks . I drank quite some and am somewhat gone now . I'm too lazy to move, so I'll stay here tonight . Anyway, we're just two men . I have to at least guard here in case that pitiful-looking Ling Xuaner returns and does something to Old Qin while he is vulnerable . Why? Are you really coming?”
The new alcohol in Qin Siting's place naturally all came from Mo Jingshen .
Mo Jingshen: “Wait there . ”
Fifteen minutes later .
Nan Heng sucked on a cigarette, turning back to look at the man who had appeared in the villa .
Mo Jingshen wore black from head to toe and appeared as though he was dyed by the evening shadows . He glanced at Qin Siting, who stood by the windows .
Qin Siting had one hand in his pocket . He was solemn and appeared to have no intention of paying them any mind . He only coldly glanced toward the door once before shifting his gaze back without speaking .
“How long has he been standing there?” Mo Jingshen walked over .
Nan Heng turned to see the tall man approaching . His distinct fingers brushed away some cigarette ash as he raised his brows . “I suspect he's been standing there since the moment he came home . He's been like this since I arrived . ”
“Speaking of which . ” Nan Heng then turned his teasing smile onto Mo Jingshen . “You could actually come so late into the night . Could it be that Ji Nuan was so drunk she couldn't even recognize you and you were kicked off the bed?”
Mo Jingshen coldly glanced at him . “Are you well-experienced with that? Do women often kick you off the bed?”
Nan Heng raised his brows, picking up his cigarette with a smile . He picked up the bottle on the coffee table and poured him a drink .
Mo Jingshen did not receive the glass, shifting his indifferent, cold eyes toward Qin Siting's direction . Qin Siting kept staring coldly out of the window .
“You've already chased away the lost young lady you brought back?” Mo Jingshen eyed his gloomy figure as he asked .
Nan Heng sat on the sofa, smoking his cigarette as he curved his eyes in a smile . He also glanced toward Qin Siting . “He clearly had no interest in that Ling Xuaner, yet he insisted on buying her . Placing such a sticky candy by his side, wasn't it all for the sake of making Shi Niange uncomfortable—spit, spit—why was there a need to do so? Hurting your enemy by a thousand while losing eight hundred… Oh, no, I should say, hurting your enemy by a thousand while losing ten thousand…”
Mo Jingshen did not speak . Nan Heng was just about to hand him a cigarette when he received Mo Jingshen's cold gaze . Recalling he had quit smoking eight hundred years ago, he immediately snorted and tossed the cigarette on the coffee table .
