She pushed heavily against his chest but was unable to push him away. The anger drove her to speak coldly: “Mo Jingshen, three years ago, you already put me through sufficient torment. Now that everything has ended, please let go of me. Let’s just part without any hard feelings. Don’t make me wonder if you’ve fallen for some sort of cat and mouse game! Right now, I only wish to stay far away from you! As far as possible!”
Ji Nuan attempted to back away as she spoke when a ringtone suddenly rang from her bag. She abruptly raised her cold eyes toward him. When the man paused slightly upon hearing her phone, she took the opportunity to push him away. She urgently backed away and brought out her phone from her bag. She saw that Mr. Vinse’s number was displayed on the screen; in the past half a month, she did not receive any calls from him, nor did she hear any news about him.
In the past, even when they had no time to meet, Mr. Vinse would frequently call to make small talk. However, in the past half a month, there was no contact from him.
Ji Nuan only hesitated for a moment before answering.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Vinse,” Ji Nuan slowed her hurried breaths from the earlier struggle.
Mo Jingshen watched as she did her best to regain her composure. When he heard her gentle tone as she addressed, ‘Mr. Vinse,’ his expression turned slightly heavy.
Mr. Vinse asked on the phone: “You’re back? You were in Canada for so long. Is everything all right?”
“Everything’s fine. It’s just some work that I couldn’t run away from. I came back two days ago.” Ji Nuan’s breathing had relaxed, and her voice was much gentler and patient than before.
It was extremely quiet in the car, quiet to the point where the man’s voice could be clearly heard.
Mr. Vinse gently chuckled. “That’s good. I’ve been abroad for the past few days, and I likely won’t be able to return anytime soon. If you need to contact BGY Group, you can look for the vice-general manager. If there are any difficulties, give me a call. I’ll try my best to help you.”
“Why did you suddenly leave? Previously, didn’t you say you would be staying in the country for a period? Isn’t BGY Group about to give you a promo…”
“The position has been s.h.i.+fted. The promotion won’t be affected, but I’ll most likely be a.s.signed to a different branch company. It might take a while before I can return to Hai City,” Mr. Vinse’s voice did not reveal any emotions, but Ji Nuan strangely felt that something was bothering him.
But this was a matter related to work; she had no right to overstep and ask.
Typically, she would wish him all the best and leave it at that. However, when she raised her head to meet Mo Jingshen’s eyes, she pursed her lips. She wasn’t sure what emotional state she was in, or if she had really been angered into becoming a different person. She subconsciously said: “I hope everything goes well for you out there. Come back soon and take good care of yourself, don’t make me worry.”
Mo Jingshen heard her gentle and sweet tone. He narrowed his distant eyes and did not speak.
However, Mr. Vinse found something strange in Ji Nuan’s change in tone. Although he was moved by her rare concern, he still instinctively asked: “Right now… who are you with?”
Before Ji Nuan could answer, Mo Jingshen abruptly took the phone from her. She raised her head to glare at him but found that the man was already speaking on the phone. He indifferently and coldly spat out the word: “Me.”
Without waiting for the other party’s reply, he directly hung up the call and tossed the phone onto the seat by her side.
Ji Nuan forcefully swallowed the verbal abuse that was about to escape. She gritted her teeth and held herself back from scolding him. She picked up her phone and stuffed it into her bag in anger. When she turned to notice that the car was parked next to an intersection, she immediately reached out to open the door, only to discover that it had been locked.
This again!
Even Shen Mu had picked up this trick!
He had already alighted, why did he lock the car doors from outside?!
Ji Nuan knitted her brows and found that she was actually slightly fearful of being alone with Mo Jingshen, especially in a tight s.p.a.ce like this, where his scent enveloped her.
The man saw that she was sat stiffly by the car door and abruptly approached. Ji Nuan urgently pressed back against the door, staring at him with an unhappy expression: “Mo Jingshen, you clearly haven’t drunk much. Don’t take advantage of that small amount of alcohol to fool around! Although I don’t understand your intentions, I know that you are fully sober!”
Mo Jingshen was unmoved by her words. Although they were pressed close together with their breaths mingling, he did not hold her again.
There was no difference whether he was pressing her down or not; because there was no way for her to get off.
His gaze was deep and heavy, while hers was cold and full of rejection.
“Delete this Vinse from your life. If I see you interacting with him any further, don’t even think about seeing him in Hai City again for the rest of his life.”
The man spat out these words with cold indifference. Under Ji Nuan’s startled gaze, he released her from the oppressive posture and returned to his seat. It was clear that his headache wasn’t a lie; he pressed his long fingers against his brow bone and did not say more.
Ji Nuan leaned against the car door stiffly before gradually returning to herself: “Are you the reason why Mr. Vinse temporarily cannot return to Hai City?”
“No. Seeing that he helped you through several difficulties in the past, I won’t touch him.” Mo Jingshen placed his hand down and turned to return her wary gaze. “But if you maintain the ambiguous distance with him, I can’t promise to restrain.”
After confirming that he wasn’t despicable to the point of doing anything to Mr. Vinse, Ji Nuan’s heart calmed down slightly.
But what was that? A threat?
She eyed him coldly. “Isn’t s.h.i.+ne Group extremely busy? Why are you free to the point where you’ll even interfere with your ex-wife’s love life? Haven’t we already divorced? Our relations.h.i.+p has already ended, and we are no longer legally related. Why do you care if there is anything ambiguous between Mr. Vinse and me?”
When Ji Nuan spoke, her expression was slightly pale. Shen Mu picked this time to return to the car. When the door opened, the interior lighting turned on. Ji Nuan’s pale complexion was instantly made obvious.
Mo Jingshen glanced at her and saw that one of her hands was carelessly placed against her abdomen. He softly asked. “You didn’t eat in the afternoon?”
Ji Nuan was too lazy to pay him any mind. Since he had already found out, she made no effort to conceal it. She gently rubbed her stomach and did not respond to his words.
Mo Jingshen sat by her side and saw that the woman was stubbornly holding onto her temper. He saw the way she would still forget her meals and suffer from gastric pain and took a glance at the time. He calmly spoke, “Shen Mu, look for a Chinese restaurant and park there.”
