Finally, a drenched head appeared above the balcony.
Mo Jingshen’s brows twitched, and he quickly walked over. With a “sha” sound, the floor-to-ceiling windows were opened.
Outside the windows, the rain and wind were intersecting. In that moment, the dancing movements of the curtains were akin to an illusion.
Ji Nuan’s silhouette gradually became clearer outside the balcony. Finally, the woman gritted her teeth and jumped in across the railings. Yet, because of the rain, her ankle had long begun to cramp. The jumping movement threw her on the ground, and the pain caused her to hiss. While rubbing her cramping ankle, she subconsciously raised her gaze to look inward.
The moment she saw Mo Jingshen standing in front of the windows, she subconsciously stood up without taking a good look of Mo Jingshen’s expression. The cramping pain caused her to fall the moment she took a step forward, falling into the man’s embrace.
This was the first time in Mo Jingshen’s life that he was shocked to the point of not moving. The heaviness in his embrace finally caused him to return to himself. He subconsciously brought his arms around the drenched and cold little woman in his embrace. Ji Nuan’s face knocked heavily against his chest. She softly whimpered, “Uu…”
Outside of the windows, the thunder rang loudly. Mo Jingshen felt the coldness on Ji Nuan’s body and did not speak a single word as he quickly closed the windows. He then pushed away to an arm’s length from him the woman struggling not to call out in pain. He lowered his eyes, calmly staring at her as though he was looking at a strange creature. He took a good look at her from head to toe and saw a small, bleeding abrasion on her face.
“How did you come up?” he asked her softly while his hands rubbed her cold face. His cold and handsome brows did not appear moved at all. Instead, he was angered to the point where it seemed like he wanted to throw her off the 33rd floor.
Ji Nuan did not explain. Her body was cold, but Mo Jingshen’s body was ridiculously hot. She resisted the cramping pain in her feet, tightly gripping his s.h.i.+rt. When she felt the heat on his body, her eyes rapidly scanned the room. She saw the bundle of blankets on the bed and approached without hesitation, wanting to tear off the sheets to see if the woman was dressed.
Yet, she had only just moved when the pain caused her to grit her teeth and almost fall down on the ground. If not for Mo Jingshen’s support, she would definitely have fallen over.
“Ah… pain, pain, pain…”
After seeing her distorted face due to the pain, Mo Jingshen’s cold expression became warmer. He turned toward her feet. “Where does it hurt?”
“It’s cramping, my left ankle.” Ji Nuan’s face was pale as she pointed at her ankle. “Ah… don’t use so much force, it hurts!”
Mo Jingshen touched the area on her ankle and his gaze deepened. He directly wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up.
Walking into the bathroom, he tested the temperature of the water and carried Ji Nuan to sit in the tub. As he allowed the warm water to trickle over her feet, he used one hand to warm her leg with the hot water while his other hand gently rubbed the area that was cramping. He alternated the force applied, and after two minutes, Ji Nuan’s expression finally softened. Her foot was also no longer as stiff. She gently s.h.i.+fted in his embrace.
“Better?” he asked. His gaze was as cold as ever, but the rubbing movement on her feet was gentle.
Ji Nuan nodded with force, her gaze turning outside the bathroom. From this angle, she could not see that large bundle on the bed. She then turned toward Mo Jingshen’s slightly disheveled but properly b.u.t.toned s.h.i.+rt and pants. After hesitating for two seconds, she reached out to touch his face.
Mo Jingshen stiffened from her actions. His gaze became more profound and dark as he pressed her hand down. “Don’t move.”
He brought the warm water down from above her head, helping her to warm up.
Ji Nuan could tell that he was enduring a lot. Her eyes reddened, and she threw herself into his embrace. He was caught off guard, and as he stumbled backward, she tightly held his neck without letting go and whispered in his ears, “Was there a woman on the bed earlier on?”
Mo Jingshen raised a hand, gently rubbing her wet, long hair. He huskily replied, “En.”
Right now, she did not care about what happened before or after, nor did she wish to explain herself. Ji Nuan tightened her grip around him. “Did you touch her?”
“No,” he answered without hesitation. Although the man’s voice was raspy, he was much more conscious than Ji Nuan had expected.
The large stone in Ji Nuan’s heart was finally removed. It was as though she could finally relax as she pressed into his embrace. She let the man carry her to sit in the tub, allowing the warm water to pour over her body and warm her up bit by bit.
“I knew it…” She could no longer hold onto her emotions. Ji Nuan sobbed while holding onto him. “I knew it… I knew it…”
Hearing this little woman cry, as though she was finally experiencing fear after relaxing, Mo Jingshen let go of the shower head and held her tightly. The burning heat of his body spread to her. The cold and warm temperature met like this in the rainy night.
“This room door can’t be opened. Is there someone guarding outside?” Ji Nuan asked while sniffling.
“En.” Mo Jingshen’s voice remained husky.
Ji Nuan sniffled and suddenly sat up, freeing herself from his embrace. She stared at him with reddened eyes. “Are you in a lot of pain right now? How did you endure these few hours?”
It was clear she knew everything.
Mo Jingshen did not speak much. He gently rubbed her head, saying, “I’m fine.”
“How could you be fine, right now your temperature is higher than when a normal person has a fever!” Ji Nuan moved her hand pressed on his chest. Hearing the man softly grunt because of her movements, and seeing his darkened eyes, she lifted her head and kissed his lips. Although her eyes were red, they were bright as she impatiently said. “Don’t tolerate it any further. I’m here, you can do whatever you want!”
Mo Jingshen chuckled softly, pecking her lips as he said huskily, “Silly, this place is not suitable.”
“How is it not suitable? Haven’t you been drugged? You’re not allowed to touch the woman outside! Why are you tolerating it now that I’m here? It’s the first time I’m taking so much initiative, how dare you not give me face!” Ji Nuan glared at him, reaching out to open his s.h.i.+rt.
Mo Jingshen pressed her hand down. Earlier on, he could still tolerate it. Now that Ji Nuan was here and pressing against him with her soaked body, if it were normally, even without drugs, he would not have been able to resist such teasing.
He pressed her in his embrace, speaking huskily, “This place won’t do. There are surveillance cameras.”
Ji Nuan’s expression stiffened. She stared at him in disbelief before rus.h.i.+ng to move away from his embrace. Yet, Mo Jingshen tightened his grip around her to prevent her from doing so. He warned her with his hoa.r.s.e voice, “Be obedient. Don’t move.”
