The Warm Breeze Is Not As Warm As You

By the time the car arrived at Ji Nuan"s place, the rain had already stopped . The ground was covered in puddles .

With a few steps, they would be covered in mud . As it wasn"t very convenient to cross the street, Ji Nuan decided to head to the nearest night market . She found a small restaurant and treated Mr . Vinse to a meal .

Although it was a simple restaurant, thankfully, the environment and food were clean . The taste was also simple and heartwarming .

“Previously, I heard from Xiao Ba that you"re a good cook, and you often prepare your own meals at home . I wonder if I"ll have the opportunity to taste your cooking in the future?” Mr . Vinse watched her with a gentle expression . It wasn"t his first time having a meal with Ji Nuan, but he would always put his cutlery down early to focus on watching the way she ate .

Ji Nuan held her forehead to sigh with a smile: “My cooking is only suitable to tease Xiao Ba and the rest, or to feed myself fully . It isn"t anything worth showing . You better don"t take her words seriously . ”

“But why do I recall Xiao Ba saying that your cooking is really good . She mentioned that she often went to your place to eat when you were in England . She also mentioned that if it weren"t because of her boyfriend, she would never have moved away . She would rather stay by your side to be fed and raised well . Speaking of which, Xiao Ba is only your a.s.sistant, yet you treat her so well . Why do you seem to treat me like an outsider?”

Ji Nuan took a sip of her water and answered, “You"re right . I treat Xiao Ba so well, yet she"s been so talkative . She spills everything to everyone . It seems like I shouldn"t treat her so well from now on . If she knows too much about me, I"ll be clueless when this brat finally sells me completely . ”

With a pause, she then continued: “I suppose she"s taking advantage of the fact that she"s been working by my side the longest . We"ve known each other for more than three years and are as comfortable as a family . We really don"t see each other as outsiders anymore . ”

“Haven"t you known me for three years as well? Xiao Ba can head to your place to eat whenever she pleases, yet I can"t even have a single meal?”

Ji Nuan: “…”

Mr . Vinse watched her with raised brows and a smile . He did not continue pushing her with words, but he clearly had no intention to back down .

At the end of the day, the conversation strangely concluded with Ji Nuan owing him a meal . After they were done eating, Ji Nuan prepared to head home . Mr . Vinse wanted to walk her back but recalled that his phone was in his car . He asked for her to wait for a moment, but Ji Nuan rejected him . She told him to head straight home and turned to enter her residential area .

Perhaps it was due to a short circuit, but several of the streetlamps were out . The path from the entrance to her home was dark to the point where she could barely see her own fingers .

As the ground was covered in puddles, Ji Nuan walked carefully with her heels . All of a sudden, her phone rang . She brought out her phone from her bag and saw that it was a call from her company . She was about to answer it when a horrible scent mixed with alcohol came from behind her . She paused in her movements, and her eyes narrowed . She abruptly turned back and avoided the drunk man who had thrown himself in her direction .

The other party almost fell onto the ground, but his mouth had already begun muttering, “My wife… my wife… you"re finally back . Why are you avoiding me…”

She was abruptly called "wife" by a short and fat man covered in the stench of sweat and alcohol . Ji Nuan felt a chill down her back as she took another large step back to avoid being touched by him .

“Wife… come home with me… what does that man have besides some money? How could he possibly dote on you the way I do? Come, come home with me…”

The drunk man stared at her as he spoke nonsensical words . He then approached and threw himself at her once more .

Ji Nuan immediately avoided him . She was about to return to the entrance to call for security . However, with a sudden bout of strength, the drunk man grabbed hold of her arm and hauled her back harshly . Ji Nuan almost fell into his embrace . With some difficulty, she backed away and said angrily, “You"ve recognized the wrong person, let go of me!”

“Don"t think that just because you"ve found a rich man and you"re dressed so beautifully, I won"t be able to recognize you… Wife, come home with me now…”

Ji Nuan was about to push the person away harshly . She had only just raised her leg to step on his feet when a black figure abruptly rushed forward . The figure raised his fist and slammed it against the drunk man"s face . The drunk man immediately took several steps back and fell heavily onto the ground .

Ji Nuan was dumbstruck . She turned back and saw that Mr . Vinse had actually charged forward and struck the man onto the ground . After giving the man another punch, he stood up and held Ji Nuan"s wrist . With a stern and concerned expression, he asked: “Are you all right?”

Ji Nuan shook her head and wanted to say that she was fine . A drunk man wasn"t actually that big of a problem for her, but she never expected Mr . Vinse to charge forward abruptly .

Mr . Vinse"s expression was poor . He was about to bring her to security to settle this debt; they had actually let such a person in . Who would have thought the drunk man would curse heavily as he stood up, “f.u.c.k! s.l.u.t! This old man treated you so well, yet you ran away with a rich man! I"ll kill the both of you—” He abruptly brought out a fruit knife from his pocket and charged forward with reddened eyes .

By the time they reacted, a flash of light had reflected before their eyes . Ji Nuan"s heart slammed against her chest as she cried out, “Be careful!”

Mr . Vinse quickly brought Ji Nuan to his side . As he covered her, he instinctively raised an arm to block the fruit knife . As a result, he received a harsh cut against his arm, causing blood to cover his sleeve .

The drunk man was about to raise his knife to continue . Thankfully, the security guards had heard the commotion, and a group of them charged over to press the man down .

The drunk man was still yelling but could not stand up .

Ji Nuan quickly turned around to hold onto Mr . Vinse"s arm . She pursed her lips to say: “Using your own arm to block; do you think yourself to be made of bronze? Come home with me . I"ll clean your wound . ”

Mr . Vinse originally wanted to say it was only a small cut and not too serious . However, when he heard that Ji Nuan was going to allow him to her home, he immediately nodded obediently . “All right . ”

At that moment, even if the security did not rush over, the two bodyguards hiding in the dark were already prepared to charge over . Who would have thought that Mr . Vinse would return?

On the other side, Mo Jingshen had yet to leave the company . He listened to the soft and apprehensive report over the phone: “When Miss Ji was on the way home, she met a drunk man downstairs . Mr . Vinse received a small surface wound because of this . Miss Ji has already supported Mr . Vinse back to her home . ”

The man had yet to step out of the office . His handsome face was concealed under the dark, raining sky . He was gripping his phone tightly .

And so, not only did Ji Nuan have another meal with that man today, but she had also brought that man, who had obvious intentions for her, back home?
