They continued to talk. Mo Jingshen sipped the tea and withdrew his gaze from Ji Nuan.
At the same time, Ji Nuan turned to look at the other side of the rest area. Seeing there were still several empty seats, she was about to go over when a businessman invited her to sit on his side where there were more vacant seats.
Ji Nuan looked at that side, only to see Mo Jingshen sitting in the middle with a government official.
No wonder there were so many seats vacant. Mo Jingshen was there, so people dared not approach him.
“CEO Mo is over there. I’m not going to sit there. I don’t know him. I’ll feel embarra.s.sed to sit close to him,” Ji Nuan said.
“Why will you be embarra.s.sed? Earlier, you stumbled and CEO Mo helped you up, so you two are no longer strangers.”
Ji Nuan: “…”
Obviously, she couldn’t refuse to sit there. She couldn’t afford to offend these powerful figures in Hai City, so she couldn’t do as she liked.
When she sat down on this side with several businessmen chatting, the government official who was talking to Mo Jingshen cast a meaningful glance at Ji Nuan and smiled at her. “CEO Ji, you’re really good at playing golf. I’m really impressed!”
“I’m so flattered, Director.”
“Haha, very few girls present are as beautiful and excellent as you are.” The government official looked at her all smiles and introduced politely, “This is CEO Mo. I think you’ve heard of him, right?”
Ji Nuan calmly looked at Mo Jingshen, who was only a couch away and cracked a smile at him. “Nice to meet you, CEO Mo. I’ve long been looking forward to meeting you.”
Mo Jingshen took a look at her, his eyes emotionless but brighter than the stars in the night sky.
People who knew Mo Jingshen all knew that he seldom paid attention to people he didn’t know, including women, even if the other party was an executive of a company.
The people who had just invited her over couldn’t help worrying about her. CEO Ji, who had just come back to China, was young. Could she bear being cold-shouldered by Mo Jingshen?
However, when Mo Jingshen’s eyes rested on her face, he didn’t show any impatience or seemed to be repulsive of her as to other women but smiled meaningfully. Although his smile was inscrutable, at least she was the first woman in recent years who had not been directly ignored by him.
One of the businessmen knew their relations.h.i.+p. Although he didn’t dare to tell the truth, seeing Ji Nuan pretended to be strange to Mo Jingshen, who was smiling at her meaningfully, he couldn’t help saying, “CEO Ji and CEO Mo are not just acquaintances.”
Hearing this, the other people all looked at Ji Nuan in surprise.
As if not hearing the words, Mo Jingshen was still gazing at Ji Nuan. No one knew whether he would take this chance to confess their relations.h.i.+p or take Ji Nuan as a stranger, as Ji Nuan did to him.
Being gazed by Mo Jingshen, Ji Nuan calmly smiled, casually played with an empty teacup on the table and said indifferently, “Yes, although it’s not easy to meet a big shot like CEO Mo, we meet several times in Hai City before, when our company was still a small studio. We did meet a few times, but we don’t know each other well. CEO Mo is so busy, and I think perhaps he has forgotten about me.”
The government official agreed with a smile. “CEO Ji is so beautiful that no man will forget about you. No matter how busy CEO Mo is, he must be still impressed with you, right, CEO Mo?”
Mo Jingshen didn’t answer him but glanced at Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan smiled calmly and put on a careful and respectful look that people usually had when they were talking with a big shot.
The smile on Mo Jingshen’s face spread. Facing this man who could easily control others’ fates, one couldn’t help but slow their breathing. He said slowly and lowly, “CEO Ji.”
He said slowly as if questioning something or admitting something. His indifferent eyes and his indecipherable tone make it difficult to understand what he really thought. But since he called Ji Nuan, “CEO Ji,” this woman must be special to him. Otherwise, with his temperament, he wouldn’t even look at her.
The one who knew their relations.h.i.+p also wondered what was going on between the two of them. Seeing their strange att.i.tudes, he decided not to speak much and quietly changed his seat to avoid being implicated.
Ji Nuan put down the empty teacup in her hand and answered, “Yes?”
The others were confused at the way the two talked to each other. Ji Nuan was smiling, but her eyes were cold.
It had been three years. Mo Jingshen had become more taciturn and colder, while Ji Nuan became more open-minded and casual. After all, she had told herself before returning to Hai City that Hai City would not be as peaceful as London, but there was no need for her to be afraid now that she was coming back. Like now, whether the past was to be uncovered or to be hidden, no matter what would happen, she would just face it calmly.
Mo Jingshen gazed at her, who was smiling as if she didn’t care at all. After a while, he said as politely and indifferently as her, “Nice shots.” Obviously, he respected the path she had chosen.
Ji Nuan smiled, and her voice was a bit flattering like the others, which pulled them further apart. “Thanks, CEO Mo, but my golf skills are not as good as you said.”
Mo Jingshen raised his eyebrows. At this time, some people wanted to take this chance to invite Mo Jingshen to play golf with them.
But Mo Jingshen sat there without any intention of getting up.
“No, thanks. I haven’t finished this pot of tea, and I don’t have much interest in playing golf for the moment,” Mo Jingshen said indifferently, moving his eyes away from Ji Nuan’s side and didn’t look at her again.
Ji Nuan rose with a smile. “Then I won’t disturb you with your tea, CEO Mo. I’m going to the other side.”
