Chapter 248
After chatting for a while, just as Ji Nuan was about to leave his embrace, she heard the man"s indifferent, low voice from above her head: “What"s that?”

Ji Nuan lifted her head to follow Mo Jingshen"s gaze to the wastepaper basket by the sofa . The pink packaging for the pregnancy test was especially small . When she threw it away earlier, she had even taken care to push it inward and out of sight . Despite this, he still noticed it .
“For some time, my appet.i.te wasn"t very good, and I kept feeling nauseous and dizzy . But right after that, my appet.i.te suddenly grew immensely, and I started eating and sleeping very well . I pa.s.sed by a pharmacy today and bought a pregnancy test to see if I was pregnant, but the test concluded that I wasn"t . It"s probably because I wasn"t fully acclimatized to T City"s environment . ” Ji Nuan leaned against the man"s chest . “It seems like Grandfather"s dreams of having a great-grandchild will take a little while longer to come true . ”
Mo Jingshen glanced at her expression and casually reached over to fish the packaging out . He lowered his head to scan the instructions and related information provided . After finishing, he directly picked Ji Nuan up from the sofa .
“What are you doing?” Ji Nuan was suddenly placed down, her feet landing firmly on the ground .
“Let"s go to the hospital for a checkup,” He said: “These sorts of tests only promise a fifty to ninety percent accuracy . Only a checkup at the hospital will be fully reliable . ”
“There"s no need . I haven"t been sleeping excessively recently, and the nausea has faded as well . It shouldn"t be pregnancy . Not to mention, at such a time, only the emergency room is open . The gynecologists and obstetricians have all gone home . Even if we go, we won"t be able to receive a detailed checkup . Even the doctors in charge of blood tests have gone home . ”
Ji Nuan could tell that Mo Jingshen had no intention of being even slightly careless with handling the possibility of pregnancy .

She smiled and stood on her tiptoes, holding the man"s handsome face to kiss him deeply with a smacking noise . “I promise I"ll pay careful attention to my body . The moment there are any signs of pregnancy, I"ll immediately and obediently head to the hospital . ”
Mo Jingshen took another glance at the packaging, so Ji Nuan brought out the picture of the results she had taken earlier; a single red line across the paper .
Afterward, Mo Jingshen eyed the time and did not say more . However, he headed into the kitchen and began boiling some brown sugar water for her .
Ever since arriving in T City, without Auntie Chen"s urging, Ji Nuan did not continue with her habit of drinking warm beverages at night or taking brown sugar water for health .
Seeing Mo Jingshen is in the kitchen, Ji Nuan kept away the packaging and turned on the television to look for more channels to watch; she gave up on the horror film .
After flipping through several channels, her phone rang .
She glanced at her phone screen . The call came from Ji Corporation"s secretary manager; the very secretary that her father, Ji Hongwen, usually trusted and depended on the most . Ever since arriving in T City, Ji Nuan barely contacted her family . It was also a while since her father called her . Why would his secretary suddenly call her?

She answered the call: “h.e.l.lo . ”
After several seconds of silence, a familiar voice spoke from the other end of the call with a tone that was polite and respectful: “Miss Ji, h.e.l.lo . I"m Secretary Zhou . ”
He then continued: “Director Ji has recently arranged to visit and sightsee T City with several old friends . As Miss Ji is in T City, I was told to arrange a suitable time for both of you to meet up . It"s been quite a while since Director Ji has seen you . May I know on which days will Miss Ji be free next week?”
“Since my Dad plans to visit T City, why didn"t he personally call me?” Ji Nuan replied unhurriedly . “I"ve never heard him mention any close friends from T City . Coming to sightsee this season? The land is surrounded by cold wind and dead leaves; what is there to see?”
“Director Ji just went off for a meeting . Right before the meeting, he made the decision with several business partners and friends . I was told to quickly make the arrangements for the visit to T City and immediately called you, Miss Ji . After all, Director Ji only agreed to visit T City because you are there . He misses his daughter, but it"s difficult for him to put down his face to admit it . I can only do my best to arrange everything well . ” Secretary Zhou chuckled warmly . “It"s also because Director Ji has discussed several new projects in T City and decided to invite some old friends living there . ”
Secretary Zhou has worked by Ji Hongwen"s side for many years . She was likely around 34 to 35 years old this year . She always displayed her capability and experience in her work and could be considered one of her father"s most trusted a.s.sistants .
However, Secretary Zhou rarely interacted with Ji Nuan . Whenever they met, they would only exchange a nod . Nonetheless, she still knew that Secretary Zhou had worked in Ji Group for many years .
“All right, I understand . Thank you, Secretary Zhou . I"ll talk to you after I"ve confirmed my schedule for next week . ”
After hanging up, Ji Nuan sat on the sofa . She stared at the ground, lost in thought .
She wasn"t sure if her father had placed his feelings aside to handle Shen Heru"s matters firmly . She could understand him, so she never urged him . However, Shen Heru could be considered a considerable threat to their Ji family . Since her father was suddenly visiting T City, perhaps she could borrow this chance to have a proper conversation with him .
Several minutes later, Ji Nuan"s phone received a message . She subconsciously looked at it .
It came from Secretary Zhou"s number and included only a simple line: [Next Wednesday, CEO Ji will be at T City"s Premium Entertainment Club . If Miss Ji"s time permits, you can head there after 6:00 p . m . on that day . ”
Ji Nuan quickly replied: [All right . ]
She wanted to give Ji Hongwen a call for more details about his visit and considered picking him up at the airport .

However, Secretary Zhou said earlier that he had gone for a meeting . Her father was usually really busy at work . As Ji Nuan was considering, Mo Jingshen brought out the brown sugar water he had made .
“Test the temperature; drink it when it isn"t too hot . ” Mo Jingshen placed the cup in front of her .
Ji Nuan picked it up and took a sip . Mo Jingshen must have already placed it by the window to chill for several moments . It had already cooled down slightly .
After drinking some, she made to place it down, but the man watched her: “Finish it . ”
Ji Nuan could only raise her gla.s.s and chug it down .
The brown sugar water was prepared with ginger . After drinking it, Ji Nuan went to shower . An hour later, she still felt that her stomach was warm and comfortable .
She thought to shut the windows before sleeping, but the man tugged her back easily with his long arm . He placed her back on the bed, saying, “In the future, avoid standing in the wind before you sleep . I"ll close it . ”
Whenever Mo Jingshen was by her side, she would be well taken care of . He laid down, and Ji Nuan leaned in his embrace . While playing with the man"s hands, she said, “Your brown sugar water tastes much better than Auntie Chen"s . Even if you were independent for a while in America, you can"t have learned even this . Did you intentionally learn to make it?”
Mo Jingshen glanced down at her: “No . My mother is someone who enjoys studying health and wellness in her free time . I heard a lot about these things from her when I was young . ”
