Chapter 341: Their Intimate Actions Brightly Stabbed the Eyes of Everyone Watching
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mo Jingshen’s complexion was handsome and cold. He gripped Ji Nuan’s hand and turned to leave; he did not plan on staying for even a moment longer.
Ji Nuan was just dragged for several steps when Mo Shaoze’s cold voice came: “You just arrived, and you’re leaving?”
Mo Shaoze did not expect that Mo Jingshen would continue pulling Ji Nuan without showing any reaction.
Ji Nuan faltered because of Mo Shaoze’s voice. After all, as his daughter-in-law, it wasn’t very appropriate for her to ignore him.
Mo Jingshen did not release her hand. He brought her to his side and pressed his palm against her back to bring her out of the Mo family’s European style black gates. His voice was soft, unhurried, and cold. “There’s no need to pay him any mind. Let’s go.”
After finis.h.i.+ng his words, he s.h.i.+fted his long legs and brought Ji Nuan out.
Elder Su had heard them and already stood up to approach. He watched the development at the main gate. Although his silhouette appeared old, his gaze was still bright and spirited.
In coming here today, his goal was indeed Mo Jingshen.
Previously, he was still wondering if Mo Jingshen would actually come. After all, it was the Chinese New Year today. Since he was in Los Angeles, it wasn’t appropriate for him to pa.s.s by home without coming in. Thus, he decided to take a gamble and visit.
However, Mo Jingshen’s att.i.tude clearly informed him of everything he needed to know.
At this moment, Su Zhilan stood right there, watching as the two of them walked away.
Perhaps it wasn’t difficult at first, but ever since she met such an expressionless and hard-to-defeat Mo Jingshen at the hospital, and seeing the way they didn’t look back, she suddenly found it hard to process that this was truly happening.
Ji Nuan wore a white cashmere coat, while Mo Jingshen wore a black cashmere coat. Together, they were clearly dressed in a couple outfit. Furthermore, from their back view alone, the man’s tall figure perfectly matched the woman’s small and delicate figure. When they stood together, they truly appeared like a well-matched couple. Ji Nuan’s wavy and fluffy long hair flowed past her shoulders down to her back, covering the man’s palm. Their intimate postures brightly stabbed the eyes of everyone watching.
Su Zhilan concealed the unhappiness and gloominess in her eyes. When she raised her head, she saw that Ji Nuan had paused as though she had thought of something but was brought away firmly by the man.
“Jingshen!” Mo Shaoze raged angrily. “Are you trying to upset us on New Year’s Eve? You’re already here, yet you’re suddenly leaving? Get back here right now!”
The moment Mo Shaoze was done speaking, a female voice could be heard: “Jingshen is back? Where is he? Did he bring over my daughter-in-law?”
When he heard this voice, Mo Jingshen finally slowed his footsteps. Ji Nuan turned around subconsciously to see a well-dressed middle-aged woman, who had beautiful skin, looking out of the entrance.
Ji Nuan had some impression of her. During her wedding with Mo Jingshen, Mo Shaoze did not partic.i.p.ate, but Mo Jingshen’s mother had specially flown all the way from America to attend.
Although they had only met once, Ji Nuan still recognized her. This was Mo Jingshen’s mother, Mrs. Wan Zhu.
The moment Wan Zhu looked at them, she met Ji Nuan’s eyes. She immediately smiled radiantly and waved at Ji Nuan. “Daughter-in-law! Why are you leaving? Quickly, come! We made a lot of delicious food for the both of you!”
On their wedding day, Mrs. Wan Zhu tugged on Ji Nuan’s hand and called her ‘daughter-in-law’ in a similar manner. At that time, Ji Nuan was very wary of her and had pulled her hand away. She did not give her any face and immediately left to enter the bride’s room backstage.
At the thought of this, she immediately felt a wave of guilt. She decisively turned around and tugged on Mo Jingshen’s arm with force to bring him back. When they returned to the manor’s yard, Ji Nuan spoke with smiling eyes: “Earlier, Jingshen brought up that in our rush to come here, we actually forgot to bring gifts. He was about to bring me to go buy some. We didn’t say that we were leaving!”
Mo Jingshen raised his gracefully crafted brows, looking at the little woman who had actually spoken up to explain for him.
Hearing this, Wan Zhu immediately came out with a smile to welcome them. She reached out to hold Ji Nuan’s hand. “Aiya, your hands are so cold. You’re returning to your own home, not visiting someone’s home as a guest. There’s no need to buy any presents. Besides, Jingshen, even if you wanted to buy gifts, you should have gone alone. The weather is so cold, why didn’t you let Ji Nuan come in to warm up!”
As she spoke, she directly tugged Ji Nuan inside.
The difference between her mother-in-law and father-in-law’s att.i.tude was far too large.
Mo Shaoze stood by the door with an ugly expression. Mo Jingshen watched the way Ji Nuan had obediently entered and given Elder Su, who stood by the door, an indifferent nod.
Elder Su chuckled lightly. “It seems like Jingshen doesn’t really welcome us.”
Mo Jingshen flitted his cold and indifferent gaze past Elder Su, speaking mildly, “Elder Su is overthinking. After all, anyone who visits is a guest. How could I possibly not welcome you?”
Su Zhilan stared at Mo Jingshen’s face and smiled at him. “Jingshen, I grew up by my grandfather’s side. The Su family is rather small, so it tends to feel extra gloomy during New Year’s. That is why we decided to come to celebrate with Uncle Mo and Auntie Zhu. I never thought that you would really come.”
Mo Jingshen nodded his head indifferently. “En, then please go in and take a seat.”
After finis.h.i.+ng his words, he did not say more. He casually raised the car keys in his hand and locked the car before heading in.
Ji Nuan had already been brought over to the living room sofa to sit. The Mo family home in America looked quite different from the one in Hai City. In Hai City, the s.p.a.ce was simple and wide with mountains and a lot of nature and was very much suited for nouris.h.i.+ng one’s health. This place, on the other hand, appeared much more exquisite. With one glance, she could tell that all of the big and small matters at home were managed by Mo Jingshen’s mother. Mo Shaoze, that middle-aged man suffering from heteros.e.xual tendencies most likely has never even touched a single vase at home.
“A few days ago, I heard that you were both in the hospital. Are you all right? Are Jingshen’s wounds better?” Wan Zhu asked a helper to bring over some fruits and tea while smiling brightly at Ji Nuan. As she watched her daughter-in-law, her gaze clearly revealed her adoration for her.
After receiving the cold shoulder from Mo Shaoze for so long, Ji Nuan was slightly unused to such a warm welcome from Mo Jingshen’s mother. As she sat on the sofa, she did not even remove her coat, and she quickly nodded. “We’re all right. A few days ago, Dad went to the hospital to see us. At that time, Jingshen was resting and couldn’t meet him. But Jingshen’s health has always been good. It’s just some surface wounds. Please don’t worry.”
“I’m not worried, I’m not worried. My son has always been the kind to set my heart at ease. When I heard that he was injured, I asked his father to go take a look. I didn’t go because I was worried that the two of you would be uncomfortable.” Wan Zhu patted Ji Nuan’s hand with a smile. “I remember your father previously mentioned that you used to study in Los Angeles, right? It’s been so many years, do you still find this place familiar? Is there anything you’re struggling to adapt to?”
