novelMo Jingshen, Don't Be Like This!
| ← Ch.0672 | Ch.0674 → |
Mo Jingshen lifted her chin with his fingers. Obviously, she wanted to have a talk with him, but she was still angry at him. He chuckled."We'll talk when we get back. Don't lose your temper."
"Then let go of me first."
After all, this was a highway. He didn't force her to look at him but kissed her on the cheek. Then he released her and put her back in the copilot seat.
They went to the hotel Mo Jingshen mentioned. As he said, he didn't book her another room.
When she entered his room, she found that it was indeed a business suite of more than two hundred square meters, which was almost as big as an ordinary three-bedroom apartment. The suite had a large study, two large separate bedrooms, and a living room. This room was really big enough for two, and even when he was at work, she wouldn't bother him if he talked on the phone in the next bedroom.
After entering the room, Ji Nuan took a seat and said, "The location of the hotel seems to be very close to the XI Base. What's the matter? What's going on with Nanheng? Why do you live here instead of in your company?"
Mo Jingshen asked the hotel staff to bring in a glass of juice and help her put it on the coffee table, saying, "Recently, I have something to deal with Nanheng, but it's all small matter. I will go back to the company after I deal with it. You don't have to worry about it. Just go about your work and don't walk around alone at any time."
Ji Nuan picked up the glass and looked inside at the pale green kiwi fruit juice with fresh milk."CEO Mo, with your ability, it must not be a small matter since you haven't solved it after so many days of arriving in Los Angeles. Is it because you're afraid that something dangerous will happen to me that you insist on me living here?"
Besides, he had repeatedly told her not to walk alone, and try not to leave his sight.
And the hotel was so close to XI Base.
If so...
Certain memories of three years ago suddenly popped up in her mind. For a moment, Ji Nuan was glad that she had come to the US. At least she could see him safe and sound in front of her, instead of nervously waiting for him to come back after being left a message as he went far away to Cambodia. She almost lost him forever.
With this in mind, Ji Nuan frowned."Shine is yours anyway and you're the one in charge. Who can restrict your movements? If your men need you for an emergency, they can fly to Hai City to see you, but this time you went back to Los Angeles in a hurry. Did you come back not because of your company but for something else?"
Mo Jingshen looked at her for a while and then chuckled."You think too much. How sensitive are you to Los Angeles?"
"Don't change the subject!"
He smiled."I do have some matters to deal with, but it's not as serious as you think. As long as you solve your work here as soon as possible, we can safely return to Hai City two or three days later, and you don't need to worry about it."
Ji Nuan stared at him."What did I say after I got off the plane? Mo Jingshen, if anything bad happens, I hope you can tell me instead of bearing it all by yourself. I don't like being kept in the dark. If you do it ever again, I will not forgive you."
Mo Jingshen casually put her little suitcase aside."I guess you didn't eat or sleep well on the plane, right? What do you want to eat now? I'll ask the hotel to cook it for you."
"I'm talking to you. Why are you acting like nothing has happened? Mo Jingshen, don't be like this! You've really pisseing me off..."
Mo Jingshen glanced at her."So do you want a cold war with me?"
Ji Nuan: "..."
She didn't want it.
Before she came to Los Angeles, she had even sent the blue diamond that he had given her to the jewelry customization center.
Despite her tough talk, she did want to solve their problem. After all, if they hadn't divorced, she couldn't keep running away.
Ji Nuan pondered and said, "No matter why you returned to the United States, even if you lost your cell phone and WeChat doesn't work, you should at least call me, but you have done nothing, which means that you're keeping something away from me. But as soon as you knew I came to America, you came to pick me up in person, which shows that you care about my safety. Since I set foot on Los Angeles, I have become one of your burdens again. However, you don't want to affect my work, nor do you want me to worry, so you still chose not to tell me anything."
"So, Mo Jingshen, when I say you're a hard-headed, iron-hearted person, I do you justice."
The man interrupted her with a smile."Even if I tell you, it'll only make you worry. After all, you were scared to death even when you hear the word 'Cambodia. ' If I tell you, you would have flown to the United States a few days ago. I just didn't expect that you would had a job in Los Angeles"
Ji Nuan looked at him."Cambodia?"
"En."
"Hadn't those people been cleaned up by XI Base, local police, and the American army?"
"Aqib has a younger brother who has spent years roaming Africa and war-torn countries, and he has secretly built up as much power as his brother. Those arms dealers I destroyed had strong ties to the Aqib family, so his profits were dented. Now he took the pretext of avenging his brother and sneaked into Los Angeles to take what his brother had failed to get from me."
Ji Nuan's eyes remained calm, but her hand slowly tightened on the glass.
She was deeply impressed by what had happened in Cambodia at that time. After all, every minute of what had happened in Cambodia was a close call between life and death. Her only belief at that time was to save him, to feed and water him, and to keep him alive. She vaguely remembered hearing someone say that Aqib and Dali were trying to find out from Mo Jingshen's mouth some of the underground arms trade channels in the United States and that if they succeeded, they would make billions overnight.
Underground businesses were often linked to black or even illegal interests, but these were huge.
So Aqib's brother actually came for Mo Jingshen.
"So did you return to the US because of this matter?"
Mo Jingshen smiled."Are you starting to worry after knowing the truth?"
"..."
"What is the use of telling you this, other than to make you unable to eat, sleep, or even work?" Mo Jingshen picked up the cuffs of his black T-shirt and said slowly, "China is much safer than abroad. Since you have come here, you should finish your work as soon as possible and go back. Don't stay here too long. I've got enough men in Hai City to make a safety net. No one can hurt you easily there. I'd rather you have a cold war with me than stay here too long."
