Finally, with the cooperation of the three, a feast was prepared.
Although there were more vegetarian dishes, they were personally cooked by the great CEO Mo. Naturally, there would not be any simple dishes.
Not to mention, there was also Doctor Qin who personally used the knife. The fish and meat were all evenly sliced; there was not even the slightest difference. This table full of food looked, smelled, and tasted great. It was really perfect. Ji Nuan wanted to take a picture to show off to her circle of friends.
Unfortunately, right now, there were no applications like WeChat yet. Ji Nuan still secretly took a few shots to keep in her phone.
Mo Jingshen saw her little action and said nothing. He let her do as she pleased.
Ji Nuan took the opportunity to take a few shots of Mo Jingshen as well. The clicking sound of the camera rang. The handsome and charming Chef Mo, the Host Qin who stood behind with a mild smile, and the table full of good food completed this perfect picture.
"Can we eat now?" Qin Siting pulled out the chair to seat.
"Does Doctor Qin want to taste for poison first?" Ji Nuan jokingly asked as she sat down.
"That's true. Although the food Mrs. Mo made may not be outstanding, but at the very least it wouldn't poison me. But since the one who cooked today was CEO Mo... that, the same can't be said for sure." Qin Siting picked up his chopsticks to take the nearest dish for a taste.
While chewing, he was silent for a long while.
"How is it, isn't it good?" Ji Nuan acted as though she was selling a product as she displayed her husband's cooking skill."CEO Mo actually personally cooked. Such rare, good taste can only be discovered and not sought for!"
Qin Siting sneered but did not reply if it was actually good."Weren't you supposed to cook? After that, how did it end up with your man being in charge?"
Ji Nuan pointed toward the cold-tossed three silk vegetables and the fruit salad."Two dishes count as well!"
"What sort of dish is this?" Qin Siting snorted as he picked up a green leaf dipped in a bit of sauce. After tasting it, his brows moved slightly, and he was silent for a moment.
Ji Nuan curved her lips and chuckled."I added a secret recipe sauce to my salad. It's not the same as any other salads you've had before, isn't it?"
Qin Siting furrowed his brows and finally gave up resisting."It is indeed not bad. Marriage sure is a miraculous thing. It can cause the noble Mo Jingshen to cook for a woman, and it can even let the spoiled Miss Ji, who belonged in the limelight, to suddenly become a virtuous wife and a considerate mother."
"Which is why, Doctor Qin, you shouldn't always have an attitude of holding bitter grudges against women. When you fall in love, you should fall in love. When you should marry, you should marry, ah!"
"You should worry more about your own heart, " Qin Siting sneered, meaningfully glancing at Ji Nuan."You don't even clearly understand your own man, yet you're trying to act like a relationship expert here."
"The harder it is to understand a man, the more attractive he is. Anyway, he is my husband. No matter how difficult he is to comprehend, he is still my husband." Ji Nuan rolled her eyes at him.
Qin Siting harrumphed coldly."You sure are confident. Last night, when you jumped from the window, why didn't you have the confidence?"
"Last night, I drank alcohol and wasn't in the right mind. Are you being petty with a drunk person?"
"You're twisting words and forcing logic!"
After seeing the two were about to start strangling each other, Mo Jingshen helplessly rubbed his brows."Enough, even food can't stop your mouths."
He picked a few dishes and placed it on Ji Nuan's bowl.
Ji Nuan had long become hungry. She ignored Qin Siting's mild, mocking expression and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
In the end, Qin Siting's appetite had clearly also opened up. He ate a lot.
Ji Nuan's heart was pleased. This was why she said that in the future, even if Mo Jingshen left his position as CEO, all he had to do was to open up a hotel and he would be able to draw in a full house of customers and earn a lot of profit because of how good his food was.
Even Qin Siting, this type of young master who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, no matter how pampered his taste buds were, was still satisfied.
Yet he refused to admit it. Spit, spit.
When Ji Nuan and Qin Siting used their eyes to cut each other across the table, Mo Jingshen smiled lightly and did not speak. The phone on the table vibrated for a moment. He casually picked it up for a glance and saw the message Mo Shaoze had sent.
His gaze mildly scanned the few lines of words displayed on the screen. A hint of coldness difficult to detect appeared in his eyes.
Qin Siting suddenly said, "The salad sauce that you made is indeed unique. Do you mind making another plate of fruit salad for me?"
Ji Nuan raised her brows, and because of his sudden willingness to 'admit defeat, ' she curved her lips and generously stood up to head to the kitchen.
In the dining room separated only by a wall from the kitchen, Qin Siting's gaze moved toward Mo Jingshen. He lightly and mildly asked, "What is it?"
Mo Jingshen's gaze was thin and cold. He threw the phone on the desk.
Qin Siting took a glance before the screen turned dark. Then, at the instant the screen became dark, he spoke without any change in expression, "Is this a warning? Or a declaration of war?"
Mo Jingshen did not speak. His expression was frigid.
Qin Siting understood and mischievously smiled."What are you planning to do? After all, this isn't the first time."
Mo Jingshen raised his eyes. After a few moments, he calmly said, "There won't be a second time."
Qin Siting knitted his brows."Why not arrange for someone skilled to be by Ji Nuan's side. Nan Heng has several well-trained guards under him."

At night, Ji Nuan really slept there with Mo Jingshen.
Before returning to the guest room to rest, she first handed the few medicines she had specially brought to Qin Siting.
She had taken these medicines from Ji Hongwen's room when she previously returned to the Ji family home, using the excuse of her stomach feeling unwell. To avoid anyone noticing, she had only taken two from each bottle. These alone would be sufficient for Qin Siting to analyze.
Qin Siting placed the medicine into a small glass container. He turned back and saw Mo Jingshen was already preparing to bring Ji Nuan up to rest.
"I say, the two of you better not treat my place like a vacation villa. Watch yourselves, this old man is still staying downstairs." Qin Siting's brows revealed the unhappiness belonging to a single dog at night. His tone was full of warning."The two of you are not allowed to release any noise that should not be made at my house!"
Ji Nuan: "..."
Mo Jingshen mindlessly glanced at him and went upstairs with his arm around Ji Nuan.

After relaxing for the whole day, Ji Nuan slept very well.
She slept early and woke up early. The sky had only just brightened when she got up.
The morning light was slightly blue, and the sky was yet to be fully bright. She sat up, thinking of pouring herself a glass of water. However, she had only just stepped out of bed when she paused after seeing Mo Jingshen standing in front of the ceiling-to-floor windows.
He wore a white shirt and long black pants. With one hand tucked into his pocket, he stood tall and quiet.
He was still dressed in yesterday's clothes.
Ji Nuan turned back to pick up her phone and check the time. It was not even 6:00 a. m. yet.
Could it be that he had not slept at all last night?
Ji Nuan was slightly astonished. She stood up and walked over. She had just approached when Mo Jingshen turned around, their gaze meeting. When the man's deep, distant black eyes caught sight of her, he scanned past her brows and eyes and spoke with a warm and husky voice."Why are you up so early?"
Ji Nuan did not reply and asked instead, "You didn't sleep last night?"
His tone was very mild, his gaze remaining on her face."I accompanied Qin Siting to drink a few glasses last night and slept a bit on the couch downstairs. When I returned, I saw you were sleeping well and couldn't bear to wake you up."
