The next morning, Ji Nuan did not drive her own car but sat on Mo Jingshen's car to head to the studio .
She carelessly scanned through the car for several seconds . In the end, she found a gold round tube of lipstick in the barely noticeable gap between the leather seats .
Ji Nuan reached over and picked up the lipstick . She opened and looked at it briefly, raising her brows and chuckling lightly .
When Mo Jingshen saw the lipstick, he glanced at it indifferently . His tone was just like last night . “Sure you don't want to change cars?”
“Not changing,” Ji Nuan curved her lips, playing with the lipstick in her hands . “What bothers me is not the car . Her motive is also not to retrieve this lipstick . ”
Mo Jingshen's thin lips curved . Although this little woman said that she believed in him and acted as though she had thought things through, her words still carried the sour scent of jealousy .
In the afternoon, as Secretary An drove out of the company, she saw Ji Nuan walking past the plaza in front of the company with a small gift bag in her hands .
“Mrs . Mo?” Secretary An stopped the car by her side, politely nodding and smiling toward her .
AdvertisementJi Nuan looked at her and took a quick glance at her car . “Secretary An's car sure was fixed quickly . It broke down yesterday and can already be driven today?”
Secretary An smiled lightly and replied, “Last night I called for a mechanic to come over . They are really efficient . When I came to work in the morning, I saw that they had already sent the repaired car back . ”
“Not bad, it was raining so heavily last evening, and it was outside of work hours as well . Their efficiency is godly fast . I should visit this auto repair shop in the future . ”
Ji Nuan said and handed over the delicate gift bag in her hands .
Secretary An was surprised . “This is?”
“Last night, your lipstick was really dropped on Jing Shen's car . I discovered it this morning . ” Ji Nuan smiled as though it did not bother her at all . “Unfortunately, they only found it when I sent the car to be washed . When the worker was cleaning the inside of the car, he accidentally soaked your lipstick . I felt that it was such a pity . Coincidentally, there wasn't much I had to do today, so I went to buy the same brand of lipstick before coming, here, take it . ”
“Mrs . Mo, you really didn't have to . It's only a lipstick; there was no need to buy me a new one . Not to mention, I was the one that carelessly left it in CEO Mo's car . ” Secretary An's smile was polite and distant . She got off the car, considerately and politely standing to speak with Ji Nuan .
Ji Nuan noticed this detail and found that Secretary An was indeed very good at conducting herself . She indifferently curved her lips, calmly saying, “Last night, it was already past midnight, yet you specially brought it up over the phone . I thought this lipstick was important to you . Since I've already bought it, Secretary An should just take it . Anyway, this color doesn't suit me . ”
Ji Nuan threw the small gift bag containing the lipstick through the car window and into the car seat .
Secretary An could not reject it and could only smile toward Ji Nuan . “In that case, I have to drop by a business lounge to collect something in the afternoon . I'm not sure if there'll be any good cafés along the way . Mrs . Mo, do you want to have a cup of coffee with me? I'll treat you as thanks for the lipstick . ”
“You've really asked the right person . I know of several good cafés . ” Ji Nuan smiled happily and did not reject her invitation .
Secretary An nodded, smiling as she walked around the car . While opening the door, she said, “Then get on the car; let's go for a coffee . ”
“It's not good to reject kindness, so I shan't stand on hospitality . ” Ji Nuan smiled and got on the car .
The two women sat in the car . On their way, they discussed small matters . It was as though they were intentionally avoiding talking about Mo Jingshen . They only discussed America's Shine and the daily news in the country . They laughed while chatting as if they were both enjoying the conversation .
When they arrived at a street near the business lounge, the two of them walked into a graceful and quiet café .
Ji Nuan casually ordered a mocha, and Secretary An followed .
“Secretary An enjoys mocha as well?”
“It's all right . I grew up in America and can't really take bitter coffee . But I enjoy mocha a lot . ”
“Although Secretary An's choice of lipstick differs from mine, the brand is the same . The coffee we like is the same as well . It seems like our tastes are rather similar?” Ji Nuan casually smiled . “I just don't know if we have the same taste when it comes to men?”
Hearing her words, Secretary An was quiet for a moment, before smiling slightly . “When Mrs . Mo came to look for me today, you had wanted to speak to me, didn't you?”
Ji Nuan furrowed her brows . “You say, what do I want to talk to you about?”
“Of course, it's about CEO Mo . ” Secretary An met Ji Nuan's gaze straight on calmly . “Mrs . Mo is a smart person . It's easy to speak to a smart person, so there is no need for me to act innocent . Coming here from America, my goal is simple and direct . Just like how Mrs . Mo's goal for looking for me is simple and direct . ”
“So, Secretary An's lipstick was truly just an act? For the sake of luring me to seek you out?” Ji Nuan chuckled .
Secretary An curved her lips imperceptibly . “Uncle Mo does not look well upon your marriage with CEO Mo . Grandfather Mo has become confused with old age . Even the so-called family benefits have to be considered from a distance away . Although the Ji family once prospered in Hai Cheng, Ji Corporation's standards have constantly been falling in all areas . This political marriage has no benefits for the Mo family whatsoever . It can barely be considered a suitable match, but only barely after all . ”
Speaking until here, Secretary An met Ji Nuan's calm eyes once more . “Forgive my direct words, but Mrs . Mo, your actions both before and after the wedding cannot be considered those of a good wife . Besides, I heard your relationship with CEO Mo was not very harmonious several months ago . You wanted a divorce very much . ”
Ji Nuan lightly chuckled .
It was truly not out of expectation . Secretary An's call yesterday was only to look for an opportunity to “discuss . ”
“Since Secretary An speaks so directly, then I shall not hide it from you . ” Ji Nuan held her chin with one hand, fluttering her lashes at her as she smiled . “At the beginning, I could not adjust to married life . I'm sure you know how Jing Shen is cold on the outside but warm on the inside . Back then, I didn't really know him well, so I kept wanting to regain my singlehood and my freedom . ”
Secretary An looked at Ji Nuan, her eyes carrying several hints of doubt and consideration .
“But ever since our marriage, he has constantly been indulging my small outbursts of temper . In the past, I was immature about it, but his passion coaxed me gradually . ” Ji Nuan appeared slightly embarrassed, yet her eyes were filled with sweetness . “When he becomes passionate, it's impossible to fend him off~ . ”
