The Warm Breeze Is Not As Warm As You

“CEO Ji, aren"t you going to go play mahjong with them?”

By the side, someone asked .

Ji Nuan shook her head with a smile and chatted briefly with a well-dressed old CEO by her side .

The old CEO noticed that she held a room card in her hands and asked about it .

She casually placed it on the table: “It"s nothing much . One of my friends asked me to hold onto it temporarily . ”

Shen Mu had already left for twenty minutes, yet Ji Nuan had no plans to stand up .

At the twenty-minute mark, Shen Mu called her . Ji Nuan glanced at the displayed number and picked up her bag and the room card to step out .

She stood outside the door to answer his call . It was extremely noisy on Shen Mu"s side, and he was truly playing mahjong . She could hear voices nagging at him to make a move quickly .

“CEO Ji, have you headed over?” Shen Mu took the time amid the chaos to ask her .

“No, the room card is with me . I"ll hand it to someone from housekeeping before I leave . You can take it from them later . ”

It was quiet on the other end for a moment before she heard the people noisily demanding: “Aiya, Little Shen, why did you suddenly stand up . Are you not playing anymore? Let"s continue . We haven"t even finished . You"ve been winning for so long, so you can"t just leave like this . Quick, let"s continue…”

“Then I won"t trouble you, CEO Ji . I"ll head to the pharmacy personally now . ” Shen Mu did not say more, and it sounded like he was preparing to head out of the room .

However, the elites around him kept holding him back . It was indeed awkward for someone who had just won several rounds to take his leave . This led many of them to feel dissatisfied with him .

Ji Nuan could hear the movements on the other side and sensed that Shen Mu had really stood up and opened the door . She turned to look at next door"s entrance and was silent for a moment before speaking: “Forget it . Continue with your game . You can"t afford to offend those elites sitting at the mahjong table . ”

She did not wait for Shen Mu"s reply and hung up .

After leaving the hotel, Ji Nuan searched for a long while before she finally found a pharmacy . She thought to buy some medication that could soothe one"s mind but was informed that those sorts of medication could negatively impact health . The employee recommended for her to buy various Chinese medicine broths and soothing incense instead .

These days, consumers were obsessed with trends . It was common to use essential oils as fragrance in rooms . Since the hotel was a six-star hotel, and often housed old CEOs who are used to luxury, Ji Nuan felt that they would surely have little modern incense burners available .

As for the medicine broths, those needed to be heated up before consumption . It was already late in the evening, and the private rooms were meant for them to rest temporarily; they did not come with a private kitchen area . The medicine broths were ill-suited for this occasion .

Ji Nuan contemplated for a while . It was difficult to understand exactly how serious Mo Jingshen"s insomnia had been in the past few years from the simple way Shen Mu had described it . As medication really should not be taken carelessly, she finally decided to purchase a packet of soothing incense .

After worrying that there wouldn"t be a burner available in the room, she headed to the housekeeping service and received a small, silver one . As expected, people these days were far too used to luxury . The hotel actually had many prepared, and the small burner they provided was delicately crafted .

Ji Nuan stood outside Mo Jingshen"s door and knocked . She couldn"t hear any movements inside and guessed that Mo Jingshen had already fallen asleep . She used the room card and entered .

When she pushed open the door, she realized that Mo Jingshen was not asleep as she had expected .

The man sat on one end of the sofa and was rubbing his forehead . It appeared as though he was really suffering through a headache and was unable to sleep because of it . He lifted his eyes mildly as the door unlocked . The first few b.u.t.tons on his white shirt were unfastened, and his delicate five features were indifferent and distinct . He lifted his eyes and gave her a cold, apathetic glance .

It was evident that he did not expect to see Ji Nuan . Earlier, when he heard her knock, he had a.s.sumed she was Shen Mu . He knew Shen Mu had a room card and had been far too lazy to bother . Yet, in an instant he lifted his eyes, he saw that it was Ji Nuan stepping in with a small bag in her hand .

When their gazes met, Ji Nuan calmly shifted her eyes away . She indifferently brought in the incense burner and the things she had bought at the pharmacy .

“Shen Mu requested for me to buy you something that would soothe your mind and aid with your sleep . I didn"t buy any medication . I brought some incense . Give it a try and see if you"ll be able to sleep well tonight . ”

Ji Nuan did not look at him . As she spoke, she smoothly placed the things on the coffee table . She quickly dropped the incense into the small burner and found a few matches that came with the incense . After lighting the incense, she gently flicked the match to extinguish it and placed everything back down on the table .

After completing everything, she did not turn to look at Mo Jingshen"s expression . She took several steps back without lifting her eyes: “CEO Mo, rest well . I won"t disturb you any longer . ”

“Ji Nuan . ”

The man called her name . His cool, low, and heavy voice could be heard extra clearly in the quiet room .

Ji Nuan did not turn back and walked towards the door .

Before she could open it, the man had already approached . His long arm reached out and stopped her from opening the door . The small gap she had opened was immediately closed heavily .

She faltered in her movement and turned back to look toward the man .

It seemed like he had really excused himself to rest because he was feeling unwell . The man"s black, long hair slanted forward as he shifted his gaze down onto her . It cast a gentle shadow on his brows and eyes . The bright lights in the room scattered some warmth onto his expression, and his distant black eyes seemed to lose his typical cold, sternness . His gaze held a gentle light as he watched her .

Even though he did not press close unreasonably, but his arm kept Ji Nuan trapped between him and the door . Ji Nuan pressed close to the door and turned her head back to meet the man"s eyes: “CEO Mo, you haven"t touched any alcohol today, right? I don"t think I need to remind you what propriety is . ”

“What is propriety?” The man appeared to be smiling . He lowered his eyes to meet hers; her gaze did not contain any warmth . “Ever since you returned to the country, you don"t even greet me when we meet . Is this the so-called propriety you speak of?”

Ji Nuan lifted her brows . She was unruffled: “Although MN Group"s performance isn"t bad, we first gained our firm foothold in England . We"ve only just returned to Hai City, and before the eyes of various old elites, we are but newborn calves . They can crush me like an ant anytime they please . If I don"t work by propriety and take note of my own limits, I would have already died the moment I stepped back in the country . The propriety I show to you, CEO Mo, is the exact same as what I offer to everyone else . ”

Mo Jingshen pinched her chin and gently lifted it . He asked, “Didn"t you decide to never return from England? Why are you back again? En?”

The emotions in Ji Nuan"s eyes were cold and indifferent: “Xia Tian is pregnant and about to give birth . Someone needed to return to take over her position . ”
