Chapter 59: Could It Be That the Threatening Power of a Wedding Certificate is Too Great?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This was a slow kiss. Ji Nuan had yet to remove her coat. Even though she was not hot, she was still kissed until her face turned red. Her seductiveness when she was awake moved this man’s heart even more so than she did in her drunken state last night.
Mo Jingshen kissed her face bit by bit, his hoa.r.s.e voice seductive. “The sleepwear you bought earlier; remember to wear it tonight.”
Ji Nuan’s face instantly turned fl.u.s.tered.
Earlier at the department store, she had secretly bought a s.e.xy style of sleepwear while Mo Jingshen was not looking.
It was not particularly revealing, but it seemed like it would feel pleasantly cool when worn.
At that moment, she had bought it in a fit of excitement, but she never thought he would actually have seen it.
“I don’t want to, that’s meant for the summer.”
“So, you bought it to keep for a year?” The man lightly chuckled against her lips and then kissed her again.
“I have many clothes at home that I forget to wear after buying. I even have some that have been untouched for two years. Keeping it for a year won’t…”
She had yet to finish her words when she felt his grip tighten around her waist. She raised her eyes to see him staring at her, his grip around her waist unyielding.
After being stared until her heart began to tremble, Ji Nuan averted her eyes and whispered with some intention of begging for forgiveness, “All right. I’ll wear it if you want me to…”

Although the things they had bought were quite a lot, thankfully this house was very neat and clean. Ji Nuan only needed to unwrap everything they had purchased and place it in the right place.
After tidying for around an hour, she glanced at her phone to check the time.
It was already past four.
From the time when she was involved in the incident yesterday, it was less than 24 hours.
——
There were no knocking sounds at the Mo Corporation CEO’s office door as a tall silhouette wearing a long grey coat directly walked in. He was un.o.bstructed by anyone because no one dared to block him.
A set of doc.u.ments was directly thrown onto the office desk.
Mo Jingshen did not glance at the man who entered. He closed the file in his hands and picked up the doc.u.ments to flip through it. His voice was deep and cold to the point of seeping into one’s bones. “The Zhou family’s background has so many pages?”
The man who stood in front of the table narrowed his cold eyes, sneering, “This Zhou family is not simple. Otherwise, that Zhou Yanyan would not have had the courage to do anything to your woman.”
“The sparrow may be small, but all its vital organs are all there. After seeing these, you should understand the shady businesses that they’ve been involved in the past few years. Based on their ability, if they were to face us head-on, they would definitely meet a horrible death. However, from start to finish, they haven’t dared to make any big movements out in the open. They also understand that facing us head-on won’t bring them any benefits.”
“But if they often use those strategies in the dark, a young lady like Ji Nuan—who has no dark spots in her history whatsoever—can easily be eaten up by them.”
Mo Jingshen did not speak, glancing at him coldly before throwing the doc.u.ments back on the table.
The man in front of the office table casually leaned his palms on the table, laughing coldly. His voice was deep and s.e.xy. “It’s not as if Ji Nuan was taken advantage of yesterday, was she? On the other hand, that Zhou family dumb trash that isn’t afraid of dying is lying half dead in the hospital. She’s even shaking the earth with her screams from pain in the emergency room because of bleeding in her lower body.”
“That’s because Ji Nuan is quick-witted and knows how to protect herself.” Mo Jingshen clarified coldly. “If anything had really happened to her last night, that one with the surname of Zhou would not even have the opportunity to lie in the emergency room to complain about pain.”
The man in front of the desk harrumphed coldly. Based on last night’s situation, that Mo Jingshen would let Zhou Yanyan meet her tragic end immediately was also not impossible.
The office door was suddenly knocked on. Mo Jingshen glanced coldly at it. “Enter.”
Shen Mu walked in. He glanced at the Mo Jingshen who sat behind the desk, eyes cold, and then glanced at Nan Heng, that dark-eyed man who appeared to be smiling without moving his lips.
Nan Heng was a frequent guest here. Shen Mu was not surprised to see him. He said softly, “CEO Mo, the Zhou Corporate’s director and vice-chairman are asking to meet you. They’ve already arrived for a while, but I haven’t let them up. I’ve delayed it until now. It’s almost time to get off work.”
Mo Jingshen cold eyes immediately moved toward the unmoved Nan Heng. “Are your people dead?”
Nan Heng, “… This Zhou family’s old chairman is already late in his years. Two days ago, he was still lying on a hospital bed. Now he can stand up and come here himself, ah. He clearly was trying to avoid any conflict with you in the past. But now, because he doesn’t want to offend the Mo family after what his unfilial daughter has done, he has to pull his frail body all the way here to try to pacify you.”
Nan Heng was smiling, yet he appeared dispa.s.sionate. “My people can block the Zhou family that are still able to hop around. We can also control the Zhou family’s movement. However, who would have known that that d.a.m.n old man who refuses to die can still rise from the hospital.”
Mo Jingshen glanced at the doc.u.ments on the table. He asked coldly, “Now that he is being watched by us, how much ability does he have to suppress this incident?”
Nan Heng rubbed his chin, laughing lowly. “He is the last resort that the Zhou family can use before facing us head-on. The last, barely adequate, resort. But at the end of the day, they still made the wrong move. Even if this old man who refuses to die shows up, there’s not much he can do.”
Mo Jingshen glanced at the doc.u.ments on the table and did not speak for a long while.
The office was silent for a moment when Nan Heng suddenly furrowed his brows. “You’ve left the States for too long. It’s been a while since you’ve dipped your fingers in those shady businesses.”
The room remained silent. Mo Jingshen did not speak; his eyes were extremely chilling.
Nan Heng stared at him for half a minute before saying expressionless, “Don’t tell me, for Ji Nuan that woman, you want to…”
Mo Jingshen casually pushed the doc.u.ment on the table, causing it to slide to the edge. His voice was calm. “Since we’re all old friends, if I can regain this finance route and give Ji Nuan her revenge, why not?”
Nan Heng furrowed his brows, his eyes mocking. “All these years, this is the first time I realize that there is actually a woman who can change the you who had decided not to look back. Back then, you left so cleanly, but right now, for one Ji Nuan you’re actually…”
Nan Heng paused for a moment, before laughing lowly with some hidden intentions. “Could it be that the threatening power of a wedding certificate is too great? Or could it be that she has so much ability? It looks like I have no choice but to re-evaluate Miss Ji.”
Mo Jingshen’s voice and eyes were as cold as ice. “Compared to the you who threw his newlywed wife to America for two years without contacting her or even seeing her once, I feel much more inferior.”
Nan Heng, “…”
The phone in the office table began to vibrate. Mo Jingshen glanced to see that it was Qin Siting’s call and reached over to pick it up.
“Still at the office?” Qin Siting’s lazy voice seemed to carry some ambiguous humor.
“What is it?”
“Your wife suddenly ran over to my hospital just now.”
Mo Jingshen’s brows furrowed. “She went to the hospital?”
“Yeah. Ji Nuan called early for an appointment with a doctor and ran over for a blood test, along with a bunch of other tests. After finding out what exactly she had drunk last night, she took the report and left.” Qin Siting’s voice was lazy, and he laughed gently. “I’m guessing that she has most likely been too idle tonight and plans to take revenge. I saw her visit an adult shop near the hospital to buy a bottle of that sort of thing.”
