As soon as he said this, the room fell into another silence .
Almost all of the people showed varying degrees of surprise .
At first, they thought Mo Jingshen's marriage would be all about interest and that he did not hold deep feelings for Ji Nuan . She was merely his nominal wife . They were more like good partners instead of a loving couple . After all, a successful businessman wouldn't mind this sort of trifles .
It would be impossible for Mo Jingshen to confess his love for his wife in front of so many people . Besides, in today's world, no one would be moved by the word 'love . '
They all thought so .
However, the simple and common words of Mo Jingshen immediately silenced the principal's daughter . She forced a smile in embarrassment and dared not provoke Ji Nuan again .
“So, President Mo is confessing his love for his wife? Do you do this to her at home every day?” A leader laughed .
“I have to say it's the first time I saw a man confessing his love to a woman on this sort of occasion . Mrs . Mo and Mr . Mo must be deeply in love . Look how much President Mo cares about her… . ”
“Oh, the longer you live, the more things you will see . I'm old, but it's the first time I saw a scene of 'public display of affection . ' Is it called so, right? I learned this expression from one of my students not long ago…”
Ji Nuan's face blushed . She hurriedly picked her glass and took a sip of water in case people would notice her red face .
The principal's daughter was so embarrassed that she said she needed to use the restroom and left the room . The principal was embarrassed too . He should have checked about Mo Jingshen's marital status in advance . Now his daughter lost face and so did he .
The leaders began to flatter each other again . Ji Nuan smiled politely and began to enjoy the food quietly .
At this time, she received a call from Ji Hongwen . Ji Nuan got up to answer this call out of the room . Ji Hongwen's voice was cold . “I know what Mengran had done . Don't take it to heart . It's not the first time she had done this sort of stupid thing . I've given her a chance over and over again, but she just doesn't stop, and now she even went all the way to T City to frame you . Nuan Nuan, don't believe her bullshit . I'll give you an explanation to you for sure . ”
Ji Nuan knew Ji Hongwen had gone back to Hai City . Unfortunately, he didn't have time to visit her before he went back .
“I'm all right . Dad, don't worry too much . I know how to deal with this matter . ” Standing out of the room, Ji Nuan held her cell phone and said gently, “You've just gone back to Hai City and should sleep early . These insignificant family matters are easy to solve . Your health is what matters most . Don't be angry or worried because of this incident . ”
“Mengran's really gone too far . If I don't do something to stop her, she will only behave more terribly!” Ji Hongwen said angrily . “She is almost in her twenties, but she just stays at home all day and does nothing . At her age, you were studying abroad . I've really spoiled her . I'll send her abroad in two days . This will save me from a lot of trouble, and she won't be able to pester you and Jingshen . ”
Ji Nuan took a look at the time . “I'm having dinner outside . It's not sure when I can go home . I'll call you if you haven't slept when I go back home, okay?”
Ji Hongwen paused and said, “Just go about your business . You don't have to call me . But Mengran said nonsense to you . Do you…”
Ji Nuan just said, “Dad, although her words were not trustworthy, her words can't be out of thin air . I hope I can be your daughter forever, but I also want to know the truth . I'm already an adult . I think we can find a chance to have a talk and clarify some matters . ”
“Okay, there isn't much time left before you graduate from T University . Let's talk when you come back to Hai City . ” Ji Hongwen knew what Ji Nuan meant . He couldn't comfort her by telling her to keep calm and not to overthink, because she was already calm .
Ji Hongwen's attitude proved that what Ji Mengran said was true .
Ji Nuan said “Yes” and hung up after several more words with Ji Hongwen .
She put her cell phone into her bag . She was about to go back to the room when the principal's daughter happened to come back from the restroom .
Ji Nuan nodded at her and motioned for her to go first, but the principal's daughter didn't move . She stood at the door of the room and said in a sweet voice with a smile on her face, “Mrs . Mo, I'm sorry for offending you just now . ”
As the daughter of a university's principal, she surely wasn't stupid . Although she was hostile to Ji Nuan just now, Ji Nuan could understand her behavior just now . No one would be happy if your blind date's wife suddenly showed up .
However, only the principal and his daughter took this dinner as a blind date . To Mo Jingshen, it was merely a tedious social activity that he failed to reject .
“How long have you been married?” The principal's daughter still couldn't help asking .
Ji Nuan took a look at her . “It will be a year in a month or so . ”
“Oh, it seems that I'm ignorant, indeed . Sorry… about what I said just now . Please don't mind it, Mrs . Mo . ” The principal's daughter was not stupid . Since she had no chance to get Mo Jingshen, she should face reality and give up her unrealistic dream . She apologized to her because she didn't want to annoy President Mo or his wife, so she said these words to make up .
But to be honest, Mo Jingshen had publicly shown his love for his wife just now . No one except idiots would still dream of replacing Ji Nuan . Obviously, Mo Jingshen loved Ji Nuan very much . Who dared mess up with her?
By saying these words, she was trying to save herself out of embarrassment .
Ji Nuan just smiled at her and slightly shook her head to show that she didn't mind . The two of them pushed the door open and entered the room, laughing together .
After the dinner, the leaders dared not keep Mo Jingshen too late . They didn't dare invite him to KTV or a nightclub because they weren't sure whether he liked it . Also, he brought his wife with him .
In the end, they just exchanged pleasantries at the table . Ji Nuan didn't talk much but just raised her eyes to cast a polite look at them now and then .
The dinner was finished in a happy atmosphere . Before leaving, some leaders wished Mo Jingshen and his wife a happy life and tried to praise Ji Nuan's performance in T University, but the latter was too low key, so they had no impression of her before . In the end, they could only say—
“Mrs . Mo's grades are really good . ”
The corner of Ji Nuan's mouth twitched .
It must take you great efforts to find such a virtue of mine .
