Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

Mo Jingshen’s voice was low and calm. “Secretary An was directly sent here by my father from America. Regardless of the reasons she was sent here, her work ethics and professionalism are all up to par.”

Ji Nuan calmly curved her lips, but her smile did not reach her eyes. “Grandfather Mo said that she was outstanding. It seems like it’s true since even you can’t pick out any flaws in her. Right now, should I feel some sense of danger?”

Mo Jingshen curved his fingers and gently knocked against her forehead. “The entire office is filled with the sour scent of your jealousy. Our only interaction here is restricted to work. Outside of the office, I won’t see her at all.”

Ji Nuan wanted to say that she was not narrow-minded, but after all, it was someone that his father sent here. The meaning was so clear that there was no way she could pretend that nothing had happened.

“I am not jealous, but Mr. Mo, I need to clarify things to you.” Ji Nuan’s tone was lukewarm, and her expression calm. “Since I’m Mrs. Mo, I won’t easily give up my spot to any other woman. I’m very aware, as Grandfather Mo has mentioned, the elders had originally planned to shove that one with the surname of An to you, but you had no interest. Since you weren’t interested, based on your habits, you most likely won’t develop any feelings for her in the next ten years.”

Mo Jingshen did not speak, quietly watching her.

However, it was not difficult to tell that because of her words, his mood was rather good.

“But even as I am clear about all these, after all, that Secretary An isn’t a secretary with pure intentions. She’ll be in your office every day, during work, during meetings, during business trips, and even during business parties. It’ll be unavoidable that you’ll have to interact. My heart will be uncomfortable, and with time, it might even have ridiculous notions. It will affect my emotions and my ability to be rational when it comes to my trust in you.”

Finishing her words, Ji Nuan directly turned around and headed out. “This is all I’m going to say. In the future, we won’t mention this issue anymore. I’m hungry. I’m going to go eat hot pot.”

Seeing Ji Nuan’s “great-aunt will leave these words here today,” appearance, Mo Jingshen lost his smile.

She really was good at leaving things behind.

Ji Nuan did not care if he had the time to accompany her. She was about to walk out of the office.

Suddenly, her hand was forcefully held back, and in a second, she was brought backward and almost fell into the man’s embrace. She unconsciously tried to stand firm, but Mo Jingshen pressed her into his chest, not leaving her with any space to move away.

The edge of his lips carried a hint of a smile. “Look at your half-angered state. Being rational above being willful is not a completely good thing. Why not just throw a good tantrum at me.”

“I don’t have a temper. Other people are so outstanding, how could I have a temper.” Ji Nuan moved her gaze away from him.

Mo Jingshen was unable to restrain a smile, rubbing her little face that had a mocking expression. “I don’t plan on keeping her for long.”

Ji Nuan finally glanced at him. “How long is that exactly?”

“Secretary An is viewed very well by the elders of the two families. My relationship with her cannot be ruined that openly. I have to take into account her relationship with the Mo family. Give me two weeks; I’ll definitely give you an answer you’ll be satisfied with, en?”

Ji Nuan was expressionless. “Your relationship with her? She likes you, doesn’t she? Why else would she be so obedient and return to the country the moment she was told. After all, Shine is the Mo family’s true business foundation. She’ll have better prospects there. Coming here only means that her target is you.”

Ji Nuan suddenly thought of her previous life.

The one where he left her for ten years.

Then, Mo Jingshen became the person in charge of America’s Shine. He could move the cloud and rain with his hands. During those years, did any interaction happen between him and Secretary An?

Thinking about this caused the semblance of calm she initially had crumble immediately. Her rationality told her that she could not be unhappy because of this, but her emotions were still affected. She pursed her lips and forcefully tried to push him away, opening her mouth to say, “I’m hungry, and I want to go eat. Let go of me.”

In the end, not only was she unable to escape his embrace, her entire body was tugged back by several steps.

By the time she realized what had happened, her back was already pressed against the office door—

The man’s hands that were initially around her waist had moved to press her against the door.

Ji Nuan’s heart instantly shrunk for a moment, but she still tried to raise her voice to strengthen her position, angrily saying, “Mo Jingshen what are you doing! I’m hungry, and I want to eat! If you don’t have the time, I’ll go by myself!”

“Let’s clarify everything. I can’t let you leave in a fit of anger.” Mo Jingshen lowered his head, looking at her face as he calmly said, “Your emotions are unstable. If I don’t do this, how could I properly speak to you?”

“I don’t need you to speak to me! Earlier on, didn’t you ask for two weeks? Since I didn’t reject you, it means I’ve agreed. What more do you want to say?” Right now, Ji Nuan did not want to speak to him at such proximity.

“The person who is my wife right now is you, and it’ll always be you.”

His voice was calm and clear, but it also forced her to take him seriously.

In an instant, Ji Nuan became quiet. She pursed her lips and looked at him.

Mo Jingshen saw her expression of feeling wronged yet being unwilling to express it, and could not help but sigh. He bent over and kissed her lips, pausing by the edge of her lips to huskily whispered, “Mrs. Mo, although your jealousy shows you care a lot about me, my heart will ache if it causes you to feel wronged.”

Ji Nuan glared at him.

Her heart was thinking: if your heart will ache, how could you make me endure for a whole two weeks?

Mo Jingshen suddenly gave a low and deep chuckle, softly speaking against her lips, “One week, en?”

Ji Nuan: “…”

Could it be that this man could read minds?

But Ji Nuan was not someone who could not be reasoned with. “If you say one week then one week. But you have to promise, you’re not allowed to have any skin contact with her! Even if she hands you a document during a meeting, your hands cannot touch!”

Mo Jingshen could not restrain his smile. “All right.”

Ji Nuan finally softened up in front of him and no longer tried to put up a fight.

“Not angry anymore?” he softly asked.

“I wasn’t that angry in the first place.” Ji Nuan remained stubborn.

Mo Jingshen smiled. “Let’s go.”

“Where to?”

“Didn’t you want to eat hot pot?”

Ji Nuan was bewildered. “It’s already past 1:30 p.m. It’s office hours. Are you sure you should?”

“I’m the boss, who dares to say ‘no’ to me?”

Although that was true, Ji Nuan still glanced away from the door. Seeing Mo Jingshen walking over after picking up his suit jacket, the slight discomfort in her heart directly left her lips. “That Secretary An, does she like you a lot?”

“Perhaps, I haven’t paid much attention.”

“…”

What kind of answer was this?

“Isn’t the Mo family very close to her family? Have you guys known each other for many years?”

“The Mo and An family are old family friends. I’ve spent more time in the country. Even when I was abroad studying in America, I barely had any interaction with my family, how could I have interacted much with the An family?” Mo Jingshen clearly did not plan on focusing on the unimportant topic of Secretary An for too long. His voice was indifferent. “I’ve seen her a couple of times, but my impression of her is not strong. It was only after returning from my business trip and suddenly seeing a new secretary that I recalled that there was someone like that.”
