Ji Mengran's expression stiffened.
All of his carefully crafted plans were immediately put on the table due to Mo Jingshen's simple words.
He bit his tongue, turning to Shen Heru for help. However, Shen Heru did not look at him. He just sat by Ji Hongwen's side, acting as if it had nothing to do with him.
At first, they agreed not to involve him. Ji Mengran's chest was heavy with anger. He could only tolerate it, choosing to stare at the gift box. After all, it's here. No matter what, Ji Nuan could not escape!
"By the way, let's quickly open the gift box to take a look!" Ji Mengran is determined.
Ji Nuan smiled, honestly moving her hand forward. His hand had just touched the box when he met Elder Mo's gaze.
The elder clearly saw that Ji Nuan had fallen for a scheme. To prevent her from being able to explain herself, she used her gaze to warn him against opening it. If that was the case, not only did it seem like bad luck to him, there were a few people here who were all superstitious. If it was as Ji Mengran had said, Ji Nuan would not come out.
Ji Nuan gave the elder a reassuring smile, gently pulling one side of the box. The expensive sandalwood box opened in an instant.
As he looked at the thing placed inside, Ji Mengran's gaze trembled in agitation.
Here, how could it?
He had obviously already handed the item over to Ji Nuan, but ...
Looking at the item inside the box, Ji Hongwen immediately heaved a sigh of relief. However, in an instant, he frowned again. His eyes coldly stared at the frozen figure of Ji Mengran.
This brat is acting stupid! The Ji family's face was completely discarded!
"Grandfather, this silly joke, we humiliated ourselves in front of you," Ji Nuan smiled sincerely.
“When I went gift shopping with Jing Shen, he said that you love old-fashioned chess. This was a chessboard left behind by a famous expert in the late Tang period. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has been appreciated by subsequent dynasties. His condition is still very good. I hope you will like it.”
Elder Mo was startled for a moment, as if in disbelief. When he returned to himself, he reached out to receive it with a face full of happiness. He opened it to flip through, nodding happily as he looked. “This child, you are really considerate. This is indeed the board that I wanted to collect a few years ago but couldn't get it no matter what! Who would have thought I could hold it while I was alive!”
Mo Jingshen raised his hand, gently pressing Ji Nuan who had been standing near the table to sit down. He opened his mouth to continue his words. “Ji Nuan specifically begged this chessboard for you. He spent a lot of effort on it.”
The elder happily nodded, his gaze unwilling to leave the chessboard. He continued flipping through it carefully, clearly treating it as a treasure.
Under the table, Ji Nuan quietly held Mo Jingshen's hand, whispering, "It was clearly won by you, why did you say I begged for it?"
Mo Jingshen's voice was faint, yet soft and clear. "I'm yours. The things I win are naturally yours as well. ”
Ji Nuan: “..
Without feeling it, he seemed to have been teased again.
Across the table, Ji Mengran's face was already deathly pale. He was confused and wanted to say that Ji Nuan had obviously taken the chessboard.
However, he was being watched by many eyes. Also, his father sent a warning look. He raised his eyes to look at Ji Nuan. In such a short time, he did not know how to solve this entire incident.
What should he do now…
Everyone sitting here is very smart. They all knew that he had deliberately tried to drag Ji Nuan into the water earlier. How could he explain something so that it made sense?
It seemed ... No matter what explanation he used, it remained useless ...
"Meng Ran." Ji Nuan's voice suddenly came, carrying a chill. It called him out in public.
Ji Mengran suddenly raised her eyes.
He was scared and filled with hatred. He could not hide the fear in his eyes.
Ji Nuan's words were unhurried and dragged out, but carried a chill that could not be ignored. “It seems like there was a misunderstanding between the two of us. This is also your first time visiting the Mo family home. Why not go to the backyard to take a walk with me? Let's chat?”
Ji Mengran's face was bleached.
After a long time, he had already understood very well that Ji Nuan would no longer allow him to do what he wanted.
Other than the Mo and Ji families, all the people sitting there were prominent figures. He really lost his face!
Ji Mengran lowered her head and did not speak. He didn't want to go with her.
However, Ji Hongwen angrily said, “You still didn't go with your sister? Do you still want to stumble upon your excuses here in front of everyone? Your brother has given you enough face!”
Ji Mengran's gaze became even more confused. Eyes shine. He did not dare to look at them or look at Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan originally had no intention of changing things between the two of them so quickly. Firstly, it was because there was no suitable opportunity, and secondly, because he wanted to understand all the avenues available to Ji Mengran.
However, this situation is very suitable. Since Ji Mengran did not want to have any more good days to live, then she could not blame him for being disrespectful.
...----------------...
Ji Mengran followed Ji Nuan out of the large reception room. Ji Nuan did not speak all the way. Behind him, Ji Mengran followed while her heart skipped a beat like a drum.
Arriving at the area in the backyard where there was a lower person, Ji Nuan turned around.
Ji Mengran raised her head to look at him and took the opportunity to say, "Sister, I will tell you first. I deliberately set up today's incident. However, it was because before you..”.
"Slap!"
The thunderous slap sound suddenly shocked the passerby.
Ji Mengran was stunned.
He could not believe that Ji Nuan had actually slapped him.
He could not believe that the person who slapped him was the one who had always relented and loved him since childhood!
Ji Mengran raised her hand to hold her face; her facial features had frozen in disbelief.
After a while, he then shouted in disbelief. “Ji Nuan! You really hit me-"
"Slap!"
Another slap that was clear and instantly delivered, turned Ji Mengran's face to one side.
Ji Nuan's cold voice carried an ice sharpness. “I hit you! You who have no face, no skin, and endlessly seek death!”
Ji Mengran was angry. She screamed, "Ji Nuan!"
He had never been hit before!
However, Ji Nuan actually slapped him! Twice!
Ji Mengran trembled from head to toe in anger. “Ji Nuan! What I hate is the important arrogance you have! What right do you have to stand above me? What is your right to..”.
Ji Nuan coldly smiled, raising her hand to slap him again.
Ji Mengran never thought there would be a third slap. He was made mute; his entire face was frozen with the expression he had when he shouted.
