The Warm Breeze is not as Warm as You Chapter 74

Ji Nuan had returned home and was arranging documents when she heard the door open.

She got up and walked out, seeing Mo Jingshen's silhouette appear in front of the door. It was already past nine. He had a business-related social event today and drank some alcohol. Although the smell of alcohol on him was not strong, Ji Nuan could still smell it when she approached.

"Tonight's event ended so early? "Ji Nuan went up to ask, casually reaching out to receive the jacket he had just removed.

Mo Jingshen initially thought to throw the jacket to the side. When he saw Ji Nuan's natural gesture, his gaze paused on her face for a moment before he smiled and handed it to her.

"Mrs. Mo is all alone at home; I can't keep you waiting for too long."

Whenever this man's gaze fell on her body, it always seemed dyed in an endless amount of darkness — like the night sky, making it difficult for one to see the bottom of it. It caused Ji Nuan's heartbeat to speed up. Especially tonight, when there was no one else but them in this house, this feeling was intense.

Last night, Ji Nuan used the excuse of having worked the whole day to fall into bed early. She had refused to give Mo Jingshen what he wanted no matter what.

Tonight, could she use the excuse of having to go celebrate Grandfather Mo's birthday tomorrow to escape again?

"Do you want to shower first?" Although the smell of alcohol on him was not strong, Ji Nuan still felt that it was better for him to shower and clear his mind before sleeping. Otherwise, if he looked any further, she would most likely be tossed on the bed tonight…

He was clearly a man who appeared to have a mild temperament. When he smiled, he seemed like a gentleman with restraint.

However, no one knew better than her… that when this man was on the bed… cough… not only did he not know restraint, but he would also even bite others…

The several love bites on her had just only begun to fade. She refused to give in to him again.

"All right." He did not refuse.

While he was showering, Ji Nuan went to boil some water. Although he was not drunk, business social events often had situations when they had to mix several types of alcohol to drink. Even if he was not drunk, it was not good for the stomach. She thought to make some sobering tea that would warm his stomach.

This rare, pure feeling that came from enjoying a world that belonged to the two of them… to her, was ever more precious and had to be treasured…

In the shower, the sound of water had yet to stop. Ji Nuan suddenly remembered that she did not bring him a set of clothes to change into and turned to return to the bedroom to search.

A few minutes later, she placed the clothes outside the shower door. She knocked on the door. "I've placed your clothes outside."

She finished her words and turned around to leave.

In the end, she had yet to turn around when the shower door was suddenly generously opened by him.

Ji Nuan's eyelids jumped. "…"

Although this was not considered the first time she had seen such a high-definition, uncensored scene, Ji Nuan's face still turned red.

It was a separate matter on the bed, but it was a little difficult to accept when he was standing so openly in front of her. She immediately turned around, trying to escape.

Who knew that Mo Jingshen would suddenly stretch his hand out and pull her back.

"Ya, your body is still wet. You still haven't dried off, what are you doing…"

"Come, let's shower together."

The next day, before heading to the Mo family home, Ji Nuan first returned to the Ji family home.

Last night was an unrestrained night. There was no area on Ji Nuan's body that was not sore. Even when walking, her legs felt weak.

"Why didn't you go to the Mo home with Jing Shen?" Ji Hongwen saw that Ji Nuan had returned and directly asked.

Ji Nuan replied with a smile, "Today, there were some relatives that arrived from abroad at dawn. There weren't any cars available, so Jing Shen went to the airport to pick them up. I don't want him to drive past half of Hai Cheng to come home and pick me up, so I came to go to the Mo home with you guys."

One group of people went on the car and got ready to leave.

Right before heading out, Ji Nuan suddenly said, "Wait for me in the car for a while. My stomach's not feeling well. I'll be out immediately."

Ji Mengran and Shen Heru had already gotten on the car. Their gaze followed her silhouette.

This Ji Nuan strangely came all the way here early in the morning. Her goals were not that simple.

However, because they were already on the car, they could not get off to check the situation. Shen Heru sat in the car and could not help but comment, "Wouldn't it be better if Nuan Nuan directly called the Mo family's chauffeur to pick her up? Going such a long distance to return to the Ji family, I wonder what on earth she's thinking."

Ji Hongwen coldly glanced at her. "Even if Nuan Nuan is Mo family's granddaughter-in-law, she is still my, Ji Hongwen's, daughter. If Jing Shen isn't by her side, then there's nothing wrong with her heading there with us."

A few minutes later, Ji Nuan came out. She closed the door, her expression revealing nothing strange.

Ji Mengran sat at the back saying nothing, but her gaze occasionally landed on Ji Nuan's bag.

Shen Heru eyed her for a second and moved her gaze away after seeing nothing strange.

The Mo family's old mansion was positioned in a place of good feng shui in Hai Cheng, right beneath a mountain range. It covered a large piece of land in the Qingshan District where the city and nature met and had the freshest air.

The moment their car arrived, a slightly old silhouette walked out from inside. It was the Mo family's butler, Uncle Ou.

He came out with a smile. "Elder Mo is currently receiving guests inside and could not come out to receive you. He specially sent me out to welcome the few of you in."

Speaking, Uncle Ou glanced at Shen Heru who was behind Ji Hongwen. He thought of Shen Heru's family background and could not help but smile. "What a coincidence. The Qin family is also here today. It's been many years since the four big families of Hai Cheng showed up in the same place."

Hai Cheng's four most prominent family were the Mo family, Qin family, Ji family, and Sheng family.

Before marrying Ji Hongwen, Shen Heru could still rely on her relationship with her ex-husband to depend on the Sheng family for survival. However, she already had no more connections with the Sheng family.

"That's true." Ji Mengran suddenly cut in softly from the back. "But today the only person who came is Auntie Shen. It's been a long time since I last saw Brother Sheng."

Hearing the words "Brother Sheng," Ji Hongwen's eyes became cold. Shen Heru suddenly appeared slightly uncomfortable. The quiet people all subconsciously glanced at Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan raised her hand, her expression unchanging, as she casually pushed her hair behind her ear. "Uncle Ou, where is Grandfather Mo receiving guests? We'll directly head there."

Uncle Ou led them inside.

All the guests who were outside were not particularly warm to Ji Nuan as they passed by.

In her previous life, Ji Nuan never did give much face to all these elders. If she suddenly took the initiative to greet them, the sudden change in character would definitely seem strange. Instead, she merely quietly followed Uncle Ou.

After being brought into the living room, she found Elder Mo with a glance, who despite using a walking stick, appeared full of energy.

"He! You've all come?" Elder Mo saw them and directly turned to walk over.

"Grandfather, may your happiness be as immense as the East Sea, and may you live as long as the Zhongnan Mountains." It was rare that Ji Nuan had an expression of gentle obedience. "Earlier, Jing Shen went to the airport to pick up the guests who have come from abroad. They'll most likely arrive soon. When everyone is here, we'll wish you a happy birthday again."

"No rush, no rush! It's good you're here! So long as you're all here, I'm happy!"

It was the first time Ji Nuan had called him "Grandfather" so sweetly, so Elder Mo's mood was especially good.

Thinking of how he had called to America two nights ago to scold his son for more than half an hour, he felt that everything was worth it.

"Grandfather Mo, happy birthday!" All of a sudden, a gentle voice came. It carried some grace and respect.

Hearing that voice, Ji Nuan subconsciously raised her eyes and saw that An Shuyan had actually shown up here.
