More importantly, how did she end up sleeping on his bed?
Ji Nuan ran her fingers through her messy hair and got off the bed. When she stepped into the living room, she immediately caught sight of Mo Jingshen, who had already changed into a new set of clothes.
She faltered. She noticed that the man had just showered; he must have slept well last night. He appeared to be in good spirits.
She subconsciously looked down at her own clothes and confirmed that nothing had happened last night. It was likely that he had only carried her onto the bed after she fell asleep.
She recalled the time at Ao Lan International prior to their divorce when she fell asleep on the couch from gastric pain. It was likely that Mo Jingshen had also carried her into the bedroom that night. After all, he was perhaps the only person in the entire world whom she could fall asleep so defenselessly around.
Ji Nuan glanced at the little incense burner on the table; the incense had already fully burnt out. She vaguely understood the reason why she had fallen asleep so easily last night.
This was truly a situation out of her expectations.
She did not speak. Everything that needed to be said had already been spoken last night. She approached the couch and picked up her coat to put it on. She noticed that Mo Jingshen had placed her phone and bag on the shelf by the doorway and approached it to take them. Without saying a single word, she opened the door. As she opened the door, she turned back to look at the man who appeared to have no plans of stopping her. The morning sunlight landed on his figure. The white shirt he wore yesterday had been replaced by a deep, black colored one.
She watched him."CEO Mo, you're someone with status. You should understand what is appropriate. It has already been three years. As for everything that happened in the past, let's treat it as though they never happened. All right?"
Mo Jingshen indifferently watched her. He did not agree, nor did he refuse. He only said, "You're not planning to wash up before you leave?"
"There's no need. I'll go back to wash up." After finishing her words, she opened the door and stepped out.
The clicking noise of her heels gradually faded away and was finally replaced by the noise of the elevator arriving. This was the sound of her leaving.
Inside the room, the atmosphere returned to lonely silence.
Mo Jingshen watched the already shut doors for a moment before turning back to look inwards. The deep blue sky was boundless. The Ji Nuan of today had changed beyond recognition and was full of confidence and liveliness.
From the corner of his eyes, he abruptly noticed a hair tie on the edge of the couch.
He approached and picked it up.
——
To avoid being seen, Ji Nuan did not look for Shen Mu after stepping out of the room. When she headed downstairs, she found Xiao Ba, who was waiting for her.
The moment she saw Ji Nuan, Xiao Ba approached with a giggle, asking, "Boss, you're awake. How did you sleep last night?"
Ji Nuan faltered and narrowed her eyes at her."When did you show up?"
"I came here half an hour ago. Assistant Shen Mu said that you were in CEO Mo's room. When I went to knock, CEO Mo said that you were still asleep. You must have been completely tired out last night..." Xiao Ba's eyes were shining as she giggled happily.
Ji Nuan immediately paused in her footsteps. She stood stiffly in her position before swerving around to look at Xiao Ba."Things are not as you think."
"Oh, to meet again after a long separation; love is being ignited again. I've never experienced such a thing. It is surely different from how I innocently imagine it to be. I understand, I understand!" Xiao Ba remained giddy with joy.
Ji Nuan: "..."
She did not explain more and headed out.
She originally intended to drive, but Xiao Ba urged her to sit in the back with an expression of concern. Ji Nuan did not reject and only said that she wanted to head home for a shower. She told Xiao Ba to drive her back directly.
On the way back, it was quiet in the car. Xiao Ba noticed that Ji Nuan's expression was intimidating and especially stern. She did not continue asking more and maintained her silence as she drove.
Ji Nuan sat in the back. After long deliberation, she picked up her phone to look for Qin Siting's contact.
It had been three years since they last talked. She wondered if Qin Siting was still in Hai City and if he had changed his contact number.
Back then, Ji Nuan had removed every way of contacting anyone related to Mo Jingshen. Qin Siting's phone number was the only one she kept. After all, Qin Siting had helped her in several matters. Although she hesitated a little, she felt that she couldn't cut off a benefactor.
The call was quickly answered. Qin Siting's clear and magnetic voice was unchanged: "Hello? Who is this?"
Ji Nuan had forgotten that her phone number was no longer the same. She opened her mouth and asked."Doctor Qin, it's been many years. Are you still in Hai City?"
It was silent for a long moment on the other end. As though he was startled, Qin Siting took a while to ask, "Ji Nuan?"
"Yes, it's me." Ji Nuan's tone was calm."I haven't had the opportunity to visit Doctor Qin, yet I'm calling to trouble you. So sorry about this."
"I heard that you returned back to the country. Ah, why are you being polite with me?"
Ji Nuan did not continue with the conventional greetings. She asked, "I heard from Shen Mu that Mo Jingshen has been experiencing insomnia in the past few years. What's going on?"
Qin Siting clearly did not expect her to ask about Mo Jingshen. He did not question her and answered directly after a short pause, "It's true that he has been suffering from this for the past three years, but it isn't as serious as Shen Mu describes it. He indeed struggles to sleep at night, but it isn't a long-term problem. More importantly, he has been burning the midnight oil too much. He has also been attending too many business gatherings. There are all sorts of people in the local business circle, and the upper society cannot be separated from alcohol. It's unavoidable that he will have to drink some. After working so hard every day, it's unavoidable that his health will suffer a little. He already isn't sleeping well, yet he is working too much and attending business gatherings. He experiences headaches once in a while, but it's fine if he gets himself some good rest."
"It's only a problem of insufficient rest?"
"That's right, ever since your divorce..." Qin Siting faltered for a moment."Ever since three years ago, he has been working with all his might. He rarely listens to anyone when they nag at him to rest. He is simply taking advantage of his youth. If he was a forty-five years old man, I suspect he would have already lost his life."
"All right, I understand. Thank you, Doctor Qin."
"Why are you suddenly asking about him? Is there still anything happening between the two of you..."
"There's nothing between us. Don't misunderstand. I coincidentally met Shen Mu yesterday and heard about this from him. Since I haven't had to opportunity to greet you since returning home, I thought to give you a call and ask."
Qin Siting chuckled and did not ask further."All right, if you have time in the future, let's meet again. But right now, you're a busy person. I'm afraid I can't afford your time."
"Doctor Qin, you're being too polite. You save lives every day in the surgery room while I fight through the business world. I've simply learned to become devious and turned into an unscrupulous businessperson. How could I possibly dare to compare myself with you."
"Not bad, ah. After so many years, you've learned to say so many polite words."
Ji Nuan chuckled and casually chatted with him a little before hanging up. She did not say anything else.
