Mo Jingshen did not only hold Ji Nuan's hand on the escalator. Even when she tried to pick fruits, he refused to release her.
"Mo Jingshen, I want to pick the fruits." As Ji Nuan turned to eye him, her tone was impatient.
The man lowered his head to glance at their connected hands; his tone was composed: "What fruits do you want? I'll help you pick them."
"I can do it myself. We should be able to head back after buying a little more. I suspect that the rain outside should be stopping soon. Let go of my hand. I'll do it."
She made several attempts to tug her hand out but the man did not give in. In the supermarket, the aunties and uncles selling fruits watched them with suggestive and envious gazes.
Ji Nuan gave up. She could only pick the fruits with one hand and pass them over to the man for him to hold. Thankfully, Shen Mu had come in time to receive their earlier purchases from Mo Jingshen and bring them onto the car. Otherwise, no matter how strong Mo Jingshen was, it wasn't possible for him to hold so much with one hand.
After buying various things with her hand forcefully held, the two approached the elevator. Ji Nuan spoke: "Don't tell me you, you completely don't plan on letting go? How long do you think you could possibly hold my hand? A lifetime?"
Mo Jingshen: "En."
1Ji Nuan: "..."
Shameless. Who wanted to hold hands with him for a lifetime.
Don't think that just because she was grateful that he had brought her out of her grandmother's house and sent her to the hospital in time, she would naturally return to being his Mrs. Mo.
No way, definitely not. Impossible!
1Ji Nuan wanted to say this. However, when she tugged against his grip, the man firmly held her in his palm. He carried the various fruits, vegetables, and fresh seafood she had bought earlier. She found that this Boss Mo who appeared strangely down to earth and domestic actually had his own unique, unimitable charm.

On the drive back to her grandmother's house, the rain finally stopped. This rainstorm had persisted for longer than an hour and the ground was covered with little puddles. Ji Nuan checked the weather forecast and confirmed that it wouldn't rain again later in the day. This meant that after they delivered the things to her grandmother's house, they would be able to leave immediately.
When they arrived at her grandmother's house, Shen Mu carried the items in one by one. Mo Jingshen also held a few bags, but Ji Nuan did not dare to order him around. Shen Mu was even more terrified of doing so. When he saw that his family's boss was diligently working, he was frightened and immediately ran out to take the bags from him, frantically saying: "CEO Mo, you should rest. Let me do it, I can do it!"
Her aunt sat in the front yard with a flyswatter and carelessly waved it around. She watched as Ji Nuan and the rest brought back various food, drinks, and nourishments, and could easily tell that they had spent quite some money. If they really didn't have any cards available for use, they wouldn't be able to buy as much.
However, whenever she wanted to ask for money, she would glance up to see the so-called 'CEO Mo, ' who had proclaimed himself to be Ji Nuan's husband. She would hesitate here and there and finally give up.
After Shen Mu carried all of the things in, Ji Nuan thought to head in to bid farewell to her grandmother who was laying on the bed, before leaving immediately.
The old lady saw the various nourishments and food stacked by her bedside. Earlier, the young man named Shen had said that these were bought by Ji Nuan and that Ji Nuan was leaving now. She fell into contemplation and abruptly heard footsteps. When she raised her head again, she saw that Ji Nuan had entered.
"Grandmother, take good care of your health. If you take this nourishment on time every day, there should be enough to last you a year. They can be stored for quite some time, so you can take them without any worries. As for medicine, they should last around two to three years. I bought quite a lot. There's no need to worry." Ji Nuan stood by her bedside and did not seat down. Her expression was composed: "I'll bring all the things that belong to my mother away. In the future, it's unlikely that I'll visit Ji City again. You take care of yourself."
After speaking, Ji Nuan paid no attention to the old lady's expression and turned to leave.
"Wait, Ji Nuan..." The old lady stared at the mountain of things on the ground stiffly and called Ji Nuan back before she could step out: "Child... wait, I have something to tell you..."
Ji Nuan paused in her footsteps and turned back to eye her.
Earlier, her grandmother had rushed to speak up. She coughed twice and sat up, leaning against the bed. She spoke weakly: "I won't be able to live for much longer. Right now, I'm just waiting for each day to past. I originally wanted to call you back to speak to you about your mother. But the moment you returned, I didn't know how to go into things. I know you don't hold any feelings for your grandmother, but you're truly very filial."
Ji Nuan glanced at her indifferently. In fact, at the beginning of this trip, she had thought she would be able to learn something new. However, for the past few days, aside from seeing this family's strange habits, there were completely no rewards.
Now, looking at her grandmother's expression, it seemed like they were finally touching the main topic.
——
Ji Nuan sat in her grandmother's room for close to forty minutes. Shen Mu was worried and spoke up in the car: "Miss Ji only went in to say her farewells. Why is she still inside?"
Mo Jingshen took a glance at the mother and daughter trio in the front yard and confirmed that Ji Nuan was alone with that paralyzed elderly.
Clearly, they were only chatting inside. It was unlikely for any trouble to occur.
"We're not in a rush. Wait patiently."
After Mo Jingshen spoke, Shen Mu turned to eye the sisters, Song Sisi and Song Keke.
They had noticed that Mo Jingshen did not plan on sitting inside the home and was instead waiting inside his car on the front porch. The two sisters seemed to have thoughts of their own and they both went in to change into a different set of clothes. They even put on some make-up and did their hair. Afterward, they stood in the front yard chatting with smiles, posing here and there. It was as though they were worried that one wouldn't notice they had intentionally dressed up for CEO Mo.
However, the two sisters were suppressed by Mo Jingshen's aura. Even if they had the desire to steal, they did not have the courage to approach. They could only stand in the front yard and attempt seduction from a distance. Their gaze would flit toward the car windows every so often, but from here, they couldn't tell where exactly Mo Jingshen was seated. Thus their gaze would keep shifting left and right.
Yet, Mo Jingshen did not take even a single glance at them. It was as though everything in the front yard was dirty, and he couldn't be bothered to even turn in that direction.
Shen Mu secretly ranted in his heart that these sisters had to have a brain problem. The clothes they were wearing clearly belonged to Ji Nuan. They were really living examples of 'idiots attracting trouble. '
