Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?
Chapter 97: If It Was Right Now, I Would Definitely Not Bite You
Mo Jingshen's expression was gentle, not expressing any emotions. He didn't answer.
However, An Shuyan remained standing nearby.
The dress she wore was a dress that showed her part, graceful and s*ksi. With their hands on their elbows, they approached the crowd.
An Shuyan was obviously very familiar with the many people there. He greeted them with a smile, occasionally glancing towards Mo Jingshen gently. This caused everyone watching to inevitably think there was more to it between the two.
Ji Nuan focused her gaze towards them.
Suddenly, Sheng Yihan stood beside her, handing her a glass of champagne. At the same time, he spoke quietly so that only he could hear it, “Topic tonight has not much to do with Sheng's family, but my father has always been interested in some new Shine Group projects, Shine, so he told me to come to listen.”
Sheng Yihan's tone was indifferent, making it difficult to understand his emotions. “Shine Foundation is in the Mo family. Having thrived in America for many years, his influence and wealth cannot be underestimated. Especially the current director of Shine, Mo Shaoze. That said, he was a very stubborn and unyielding man. The daughter-in-law he chose was clearly the one standing by Mo Jingshen's side."
Ji Nuan forced herself to shift her gaze to act ordinary. “At his high-class gathering place, and especially at the evening party where Shine was his focus, there was no harm in him being present with Secretary An. After all, Secretary An is from Shine.”
"Is that true?" Sheng Yihan drank a mouthful of champagne, laughing meaningfully near his ears.
“Mo Shaoze has not returned to the country for many years. Now that he had finally returned, some of the Mo family people would also be here. However, the daughter-in-law who was officially married to the Mo family did not receive an invitation. Even Mo Jingshen himself did not plan on bringing you here. Regardless of whether it is to prevent a hitch on Shine's cooperation or any other reason, on an occasion like today, the choice is not you.”
Ji Nuan's grip around the champagne glass tightened for a moment. He then threw another cold glance at Sheng Yihan.
Ji Nuan turned around, looking in that direction once again. However, he did not speak. As the crowd began to head there, he stood in his position and did not approach.
"Don't go?" Sheng Yihan gently reminded.
Ji Nuan's expression wasn't very good. Hearing the voice by his side, he then chuckled, forcing himself to relax, “For what? There are too many people, it is hard to breathe. Here is pretty good.”
He hurriedly gulped down the champagne in his glass and stuffed it into Sheng Yihan's chest. He ignored her expression, casually picking up another glass from a nearby table.
He could sense that even though his words were filled with ridicule, as if he was unhappy in his marriage, he would be happier, in fact his attention was evenly spread to everyone in this place. Sheng Yihan was a man full of schemes. He was well aware of the number of secrets and thoughts he had.
Years ago, he became clear about how dangerous he was. He hid everything well and had a frightening patience. He is also good at strategy designing.
However, right now, he was in no mood to pay attention to her. At first, he did not plan to attend the party tonight. If not for her having seen Mo Jingshen, she would never have entered.
However, he suspected that his decision to be here was wrong.
He shouldn't have come.
The cocktail that went into her lips carried a hint of sweetness. However, the percentage of alcohol is clearly higher than champagne than before.
He drank three to four glasses in a row and did see some Mo family people around.
He's not very familiar with the people at America's Shine Group. However, he was very familiar with the people in the Mo family. Ji Nuan tried her best to stand in a dark corner so as not to be found. From this distance, as everyone was blocking her, she could not see Mo Jingshen's situation clearly.
He turned to the entrance of the hotel where several of Mo's relatives and family friends were chatting. There was also a guard at the entrance. If he were to leave now, he would definitely attract attention.
“Sheng Yihan.” Since he had drunk wine and had poor tolerance, his eyes were already a little red. Although it was not very clear, the people standing beside him could still figure it out.
Sheng Yihan lowered his gaze to look at him, looking into his eyes.
Ji Nuan looked at him, spoke coldly and sneered, “Although you haven't been in the Sheng family for many years, you've been preparing to return for a long time, haven't you? Tolerating humiliation for revenge, suffering patiently for your cause, you are truly great.”
The man did not speak, but his lips curved unseen as he looked at his slightly red eyes.
“Your appetite must not be small. You even have an idea about Shine and Mo Corporation. Aren't you afraid if you bite too much, you'll choke?” Ji Nuan coldly glanced at him, the scorn in his eyes increased.
Sheng Yihan's gaze gradually revealed with a clear grin. “What's worse than being bitten by your own love? I can even endure such pain, what else should I fear?”
Ji Nuan's expression did not change, but the ice in his eyes surged.
In his mind, the scene from many years ago replayed — the young man was rejected at the door by the Sheng family. After her mother married into the Ji family, she was banished because of the eldest daughter of the Ji family. When the young man turned his head towards her one last time, his gaze was deep and unfathomable.
He coldly curled his lips, picked up the glass again and casually leaned against the table behind him. He spoke in a cold tone, “That's what you consider love. It has nothing to do with me.”
Sheng Yihan gently curled his lips. Seeing her like this, she stretched out her hand, gently caressing her slightly warm face from the alcohol. Ji Nuan moved away with an ice-cold ferocity and glared at him. "What are you doing?"
“The first time I saw you, you were still a Ji family, high up in the air, eldest miss. Like a princess who hates all sentient beings, you pass everyone in a luxurious dance hall. However, behind your father, you hid in a corner to steal a mouthful of wine. In the end, you end up drunk haphazardly in the corner. Your face is red as an apple. I went to carry you on my back, but I was bitten by you.”
Ji Nuan subconsciously moved the glass from her lips, coldly saying, “If it was now, I would definitely not bite you. Besides, you're too dirty.”
His gaze was cold, not caring about his feelings.
Ji Nuan did not want to continue on this topic.
Although the alcohol served at the party tonight was not very strong, he really did not have a high tolerance. In addition, because her mood was affected, she drank a few glasses, mixing some kind of alcohol. The headache from before returned.
He put the glass down, calmly saying, "I'm heading to the restroom."
