Chapter 378: Found Out That President Mo Had Not Slept All Night
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ji Nuan knew that Mo Jingshen could have done it ten years ago, and he could do it ten years later. And for the him of ten years later, it was simply at his fingertips.
Ji Nuan’s studio was also maturing, and gradually, she had to deal with higher-end partners and occasionally fly to places like Hong Kong and j.a.pan, so she was swamped.
And for the next month, Ji Nuan stayed for a month with one of her American partners because of a $300 million contract.
This time it was she and Xia Tian that went to the United States. She was busy with her work and meeting with the executives and leaders of her partners every day, shuffling between the office and the hotel. When she was free, she would call the Yu Garden and asked if Mo Jingshen had come back recently, and the answer was always no.
The pa.s.sword of Ao Lan International was still her birthday and remained unchanged. Every time she went back, Mo Jingshen was not there.
When she was particularly busy, she would just send him a text before going to bed to tell him what contract she had signed or what problems she had faced that day.
Mo Jingshen had turned off the receipt notification on his phone, so whether he read her text messages or not, Ji Nuan wouldn’t see any read or unread mark.
So, Ji Nuan didn’t know whether he had seen what she occasionally wanted to say to him.
But he didn’t reply to any of her texts.
As for calling Mo Jingshen…
She did call him. In the first busy month, she managed to take time off to call him, hoping to talk to him on the phone. He answered the first few phone calls but was still cold and impatient. No matter what she said, he simply hung up the phone after just a few words or asked her when she would come back and sign the divorce agreement, telling her to stop wasting his time.
Every time she called him, she ended up heartbroken and gaining nothing. Ji Nuan didn’t want to hear him mention divorce, so she stopped calling him, and sent him text messages instead.
But he never replied.
A man who used to love you deeply could be extremely horrifying when he put aside his love for you.
She was busy for over three months. As time went by, spring turned into summer in Hai City.
Not long ago, s.h.i.+ne held several shareholders’ meetings and released a message that s.h.i.+ne Group would start to explore the Internet market in China and set up an Internet company in Hai City. It would be temporarily managed by the Mo Corporation that had merged with s.h.i.+ne, and Mo Jingshen would take full charge of it. s.h.i.+ne would send a project leader to a.s.sist Mo Jingshen and take charge of the new company.
Mo Jingshen was getting busier, and even when Ji Nuan was finally able to return to an idle life, she could still barely see him.
He was either in the company, socializing outside, or on a business trip. He walked all over the world, but never appeared in her sight. It seemed that he was moving far away from her world.
Ji Nuan found a chance to talk to Shen Mu about this, but the latter said that President Mo was now really unprecedentedly busy. In fact, he could always find time to relax if he wanted, but he, like a cold machine, didn’t care about anything except his work. He had almost taken the company as his home. Sometimes, he was so busy that he didn’t even have time to have a meal. Many times, the staff was off work, but he was still busy with his work and held meetings with his partners abroad.
When the staff went to work the next morning, they found that President Mo had not slept all night.
No one knew why President Mo forced himself into this point, nor did Shen Mu, but the company was developing at a terribly fast speed indeed.
Ji Nuan couldn’t find Mo Jingshen, but at least they were in the same country, unlike before when he had gone to the United States, and they didn’t see each other for ten years.
But now it looked as if their lives were back to those days when they had nothing to do with each other.
She didn’t agree to a divorce, nor signed the divorce agreement. He was still her husband, but she couldn’t even see him although she longed to.
Ji Nuan knew that he was too busy these days, so she didn’t bother him. No matter how busy he was, he couldn’t be busy all his life. She had enough patience to wait for him.
…
Mo Nuan Studio.
A pile of papers was laid on the desk. Ji Nuan glanced at the t.i.tle and then lowered her head to continue to read the doc.u.ment in her hand, without saying a word.
“Why are you so depressed recently?” Standing at the desk, Xia Tian asked after pus.h.i.+ng the files aside, leaning against the desk and lowering her head to stare at her.
“Am I? I’m probably too tired. Try working and traveling on business for months and see what will happen to you.” She turned over a page of the doc.u.ment and said flatly, “I just came back a few days ago. I guess I haven’t adjusted well.”
“Perhaps you need a man to comfort you,” Xia Tian jested. “I noticed that you two don’t seem to be in touch since you came back from the US with him. You may say that was because you were both busy lately, but why didn’t he come and pick you up after you finally become idle? Xiao Ba and the other colleagues told me Mo Jingshen used to pick you up all the time.”
“As you said, we are both busy lately. How can he have the time to pick me up?” Ji Nuan didn’t even lift her eyelids.
“Really?” Xia Tian raised her eyebrows. “Don’t keep it all inside. Is there something wrong with the relations.h.i.+p between you two?”
After hearing her words, Ji Nuan, who had just picked up her pen to sign the doc.u.ment, suddenly paused, and the last stroke of her name was pulled very long.
She stared at the long stroke and paused for a long time before she silently put down the pen, threw the file back to the desk, and then looked at Xia Tian. “Go drinking with me sometime?”
Xia Tian’s eyelid twitched, and she waved her hands in disgust. “No way. With your capacity for liquor, drinking with you is like sending you into the fire. I’m not doing that. I will never go drinking with you!”
Ji Nuan: “I am quite good at drinking now, and I have drunk a little on social occasions recently. Although I don’t drink much, I can drink much more than before.”
“Don’t you know it was Xiao Ba who secretly replaced your liquor with fruit wine? You should thank G.o.d for having such a good little a.s.sistant who always considers you! Among our studio’s business partners, many men have been drooling over you. If you were not Mo Jingshen’s wife, they would lay their hands on you. They just dare not mess with the Mo family. Do you really think the liquor you drank in the dinner parties had low alcohol content? No, Xiao Ba changed them to protect you!”
