"At such a time, why is there a car approaching?" Hope suddenly appeared in Elder Mo's eyes. He glanced outside and muttered, “Quick look! See if Jing Shen has returned!"
Ji Nuan was a step ahead of the elder, and even before she spoke, she had already dashed out ...
“Aiya, Ji boy, why don't you bring an umbrella! Hurry along! Go get one for him! Don't get soaked!” The elder chased after him with his cane but was unable to match his speed. He watched as Ji Nuan ran out of the door without caring about the heavy rain outside the villa.
The maids and housemaids rushed after him with their umbrellas. Ji Nuan could hardly feel how cold and wet he was. His gaze was fixed on the headlights of the car as he dashed towards her.
However, when she approached, she found it was not Mo Jingshen's car but a taxi.
His footsteps came to a halt as he stood in the rain. Filtered through the rain, the lights on both sides of the path of Mo's villa wavered.
When the door opened, the first thing he saw was the appearance of An Shuyan's silhouette. Ji Nuan's eyebrows and eyes instantly turned cold.
An Shuyan went down and approached with an umbrella. When he raised his eyes and saw Ji Nuan, his movements also stopped. She turned her head and watched the maids and housekeepers carrying their umbrellas over Ji Nuan's head. However, Ji Nuan was already completely drenched.
An Shuyan walked towards Ji Nuan, and through the rain curtain, she softly said, "Ny. Mo, I'm really sorry.”
Ji Nuan stood there and looked at An Shuyan who had come alone. From start to finish, she did not catch a glimpse of Mo Jingshen's silhouette.
His expression was calm, yet it looked as if he was secretly suppressing a wave of emotions. His gaze was cold and his tone was low and unhurried. "What are you doing? Why do you need to apologize to me?”
An Shuyan lowered her eyes, gripping her umbrella. “The rain is huge. Let's go in first before we talk.”
“Really, Mistress! Your body is completely drenched, let's go back and change your clothes!” The maid carrying the umbrella for Ji Nuan reached out to pull her hand.
Ji Nuan silently looked at An Shuyan. He saw a certain glint of emotion in his eyes, as if he suddenly understood everything. He did not speak any further and let the maid pull him back to the villa.
The elder had just walked a few steps with a maid holding an umbrella for him. When he saw that they were going to enter, he immediately ordered the helpers to open both doors so that they could enter quickly.
The helpers' hands quickly as they brought two thick towels to Ji Nuan's body. From start to finish, An Shuyan carried an umbrella and was not soaking wet. As she stepped through the door, she put down her umbrella.
“Shu Yan? You why? This... what really happened today?” Elder Mo saw An Shuyan dressed impeccably. Unlike what Mo Shaoze had said, he was not locked in a room.
“Kakek Mo, I'm sorry. I should have come early, but since people were watching me, I was unable to avoid them and could only rush late.” An Shuyan said apologetically to Elder Mo. "I can explain the situation tonight to you two. But now, can you let me talk to Madame Mo yourself first?”
Elder Mo raised his eyebrows, turning to look towards Ji Nuan whose face was still drenched.
Ji Nuan calmly looked towards An Shuyan. His tone was a little cold, "What do you want to say?"
An Shuyan walked towards him, using her gaze to show Ji Nuan to move sideways. Ji Nuan did not speak, turning around to approach the tall flower vase in the corner of the room.
Because the autumn wind was too cold, Ji Nuan's face and lips had already paled. However, his gaze remained cold and bright. "So? Miss An most likely did not come at such a time just to announce your attitude to me.”
An Shuyan smiled lightly, but her expression carried a hint of bitterness. "I like CEO Mo, and because I like him too much and admire him too much, I can't use such a method and hold him down by force."
Ji Nuan quietly raised her eyebrows.
Liking, is the desire to have, while love is not easy to understand.
At this moment, Ji Nuan finally understood how serious An Shuyan was in terms of Mo Jingshen.
Shuyan's tone was unhurried. “I already know the plan will be implemented today. Although Uncle Mo's actions slightly crossed the line, from start to finish, I have accepted it. Only at the most important moment did I give up.”
“To avoid the eyes that Uncle Mo had arranged, I handed the coffee they gave me to another secretary who worked with me. It contained a medicine that would cause one to lose consciousness for over ten hours. After he fainted, I exchanged clothes with him. The people that Uncle Mo had arranged did not know me very well, so they brought the unconscious secretary away and went into the arranged space.”
Ji Nuan glanced at him. "Since you agreed to this plan, why do you still manage to anesthetize yourself?"
An Shuyan chuckled. “It should be easy for you to guess the reason.”
Ji Nuan smiled coldly.
Indeed indeed.
An intelligent woman like An Shuyan, if she wanted to use such an opportunity to be with Mo Jingshen, she would definitely open the back door for herself. If he were also drugged, he would be the innocent party.
“Actually, if it was a fair competition, I might not lose to you. Even if I lose, it will be based on CEO Mo's feelings and not against you,” An Shuyan gently emphasized.
However, Ji Nuan simply curled her lips lightly. "Miss An, once you agree to such a plan, you've already lost."
An Shuyan's expression faltered, and the sign of helplessness in her eyes did not go unnoticed by Ji Nuan.
“If you have the slightest chance of victory, you will not agree to such a narrow-minded and low-class plan!” Ji Nuan's eyes were filled with coldness. “What wakes you up in the end, is not how much you love Mo Jingshen, but how much you understand him. You know that such a plan will not only prevent you from getting it, but will also trigger consequences that are beyond your imagination.”
An Shuyan laughed. "Mrs Mo, you really don't like how rumors describe you or maybe I underestimated you.”
"I don't need you to think too much of me." Ji Nuan slowed down her words. “Right now, it is your own consciousness that has truly saved your life. You should be aware that Mo Jingshen was not someone who received threats well. That you would take such a step is to protect yourself.”
An Shuyan suddenly looked at him, speaking softly, "Right now you're so disrespectful, aren't you afraid that I'll go and keep the location of CEO Mo a secret?"
“I amulet your protection. Do you dare to go?" The mockery in Ji Nuan's eyes was light, yet precise enough to cause An Shuyan's mental state to tremble.
