Hearing the camera smashing Mo Jingshen's shoulder, Ji Nuan froze and then looked anxiously at the man who protected her in his arms. Although the camera skidded over his shoulder and wouldn't hurt him seriously, she still couldn't help putting her hand on his shoulder and rebuked him in a voice that only he could hear, "Mo Jingshen, are you out of your mind? If the camera had hit right on your shoulder, your shoulder bone would have broken!"
The man held her in his arms and lowered his head to look at her. Seeing that she was worried about him, he smiled, ignoring the journalists present, and whispered to her, "If I did get hurt, I'll have a good reason to make you little ingrate to stay and take care of me."
Ji Nuan: "..."
She didn't speak. The security guards had soon pressed Ji Mengran to the ground in case she did anything crazier.
"Miss Ji Mengran, are you crazy?" Mo Jingshen put his arm around her waist and turned his eyes to Ji Mengran who was controlled by the security guards and stared at them with bloodshot eyes like a crazy woman.
Although Mo Jingshen seemed to be smiling, everyone could sense the coldness and displeasure in his voice, because she had almost injured Ji Nuan.
Ji Mengran had already collapsed."Mo Jingshen! You two divorced! She has nothing to do with you! Why do you still help her?! How can you..."
Mo Jingshen smiled coldly and hugged Ji Nuan more tightly. Just when Ji Nuan was wondering what he was going to do, he suddenly said slowly and calmly, "Since there are so many journalists here, I'd like to clarify another matter for Ji Nuan."
Hearing this, some journalists standing closest to him all pointed their microphones at him.
He said mildly, "No matter three years ago or later, Ji Nuan has always been my wife. As for the rumor about our divorce, we have never divorced."
Ji Nuan who was still held in his arms froze and the journalists asked in surprise, "But the widely-spread news about your divorce doesn't seem to be fake..."
"Are you so curious about our privacy?" Mo Jingshen's indifferent voice sounded above her head."Are my words not enough to convince you? Do I have to show you the marriage certificate?
"Well, no, no... we just didn't expect that Miss Ji is really Mrs. Mo..."
Ji Nuan: "..."
Ji Mengran couldn't believe what she heard."That's impossible! Impossible... You divorced! You divorced Ji Nuan before she went to London three years ago!"
As a response, Mo Jingshen just said indifferently, "I know better than you whether we are divorced or not."
After that, without any pause, Mo Jingshen took Ji Nuan's hand, walked out of the crowd, and left the multimedia hall.
Now Ji Mengran was the focus of the media. Besides, he had already clarified for Ji Nuan. Although Mo Jingshen invited the journalists here, everyone knew he never bothered to deal with the media, so no one dared to ask him again.
The corridor of the Shine Group was very spacious and clean and the office building was well-designed, with modern office facilities on each floor. The man opened the elevator door and took her to walk in.
It was quiet in the elevator. Ji Nuan looked at herself and the quiet man beside in the wall mirror, and then at the changing numbers on the elevator, and seemed to be in a daze.
The man's low and deep voice broke the silence."What are you thinking of? Are you having mixed feelings knowing that you're still Mrs. Mo before you had the time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to check your marital status?"
Ji Nuan came back from her reverie and said in a low voice, "Did you just say that to the media or are we really not divorced yet?"
He said flatly, "I think you know the answer."
She thought it a bit funny and said, "Mo Jingshen, you made me divorce you, and I had signed the divorce agreement. But now you tell me we haven't divorced?"
Mo Jingshen never procrastinated at anything. She still remembered how he tried his best to force her out of China three years ago. She had thought she already had nothing to do with him. Before today, she had been thinking that since he had decided to divorce her, he would certainly do it.
But now he told her that they had never divorced.
How did he manage to do this? Everything was in his control, but he just remained so calm that no one could discover what he had done.
She wanted to ask him and also had many words to speak to him, but suddenly she didn't know where to start.
She thought for a while and picked the simplest question."Did you sign on the divorce agreement after I signed on it and sent it to you?"
He said in a low voice, "Just as you said, I asked for the divorce. Although I didn't want to make you leave that way, we had to follow the original course of our lives. We have to go back to the original spot first before we can have a new life."
"So did you sign it or not?"
He said casually, "Before I went to America to take over Shine, I took time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with the agreement, but then I was told that we couldn't divorce unless both of us were present. Although I could find a very good lawyer to finish the divorce procedures with a proper reason, from what I knew of you, you didn't have the ability to make the divorce agreement come into effect in your previous life."
Ji Nuan."... Do you mean the divorce agreement?"
"En."
Ji Nuan paused as she tried to recall it."When you left Hai City for America, I gave the signed divorce agreement to a friend working in the Civil Affairs Bureau and asked him to finish the divorce procedures for me, but then something happened to that friend and I lost contact with him. I didn't have time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to check, nor did I ask about it."
He handily arranged the delicate and expensive buttons on his shirt cuffs with his well-shaped fingers and glanced at her."So, no matter in your previous or present life, we signed the divorce agreement but didn't really finish the divorce procedures."
For some reason, Ji Nuan felt he seemed to be in a good mood. It seemed that he took this fact as an excuse to refuse to finish the divorce procedures.
In her previous life, there were many regrets, misunderstandings, and mistakes between the two of them because of her bad temper and willfulness. She had believed that they divorced and in her subconsciousness, she thought that she and Mo Jingshen would end up divorced in this life, but she didn't expect that just because she didn't check it in Civil Affairs Bureau, she... remained his wife to the day she died!
