Chapter 720: The Great Boss of s.h.i.+ne Group to Accompany me as I Travel The World…
Ji Nuan narrowed her eyes at him. “So you do know that I’m only twenty-five. In this modern-day and age, most women only marry and have children in their thirties. I should at least wait for another eight to ten years.”
Mo Jingshen chuckled softly. “It’s all right if we wait; I don’t mind being an old father. But no matter how strong Grandfather’s body is, he can’t wait that long. We should give him the chance to watch the child grow up, en?”
Speaking of Elder Mo, he had yearned for a great-grandson for so many years, yet right now, even his granddaughter-in-law and grandson were too busy to visit him at the Mo home.
Thankfully, as an elder, he has always had a lighthearted mindset. Otherwise, by now, he would have raised his walking stick and broken down the Yu Garden’s door.
Furthermore, it wasn’t that she didn’t want a child.
It was just that, she never thought she would have another child.
“If you don’t want it, we can wait a few years. There’s no rush.” The man placed his hand on her head rea.s.suringly.
Or perhaps, if she really did not want a child, he would still accept it; those were the unspoken words.
Ji Nuan’s heart was moved both by the words he had spoken and the image that had suddenly appeared in her mind of Mo Jingshen holding and feeding their baby.
Back when Xia Tian had first given birth, her family’s police officer had been the cla.s.sic example of a man who was masculine yet gentle. Outside of the home, he was a senior military officer with absolute authority, while at home, the sight of him changing his baby’s diaper was sufficient to deal a critical blow to one’s eyes. This also included him holding and feeding his baby milk through the bottle…
If that face was replaced with Mo Jingshen’s…
She suddenly leaned close to Mo Jingshen’s face; it was hard to imagine the way great Boss Mo would appear while holding a child.
He was already so doting towards her; if they had a child, wouldn’t he completely transform into a stay-at-home-dad?
And so, back when she had her miscarriage, how could it be that his heart didn’t ache?
It was only that he was far too good at concealing his own emotions. He did not display it, and so no one had seen the pain he had intentionally kept away.
It was likely because Ji Nuan’s expression was too serious as she contemplated, and because she had only just regained her consciousness and he did not wish to affect her recovery, the man took a few deep breaths and left a kiss on her neck. He then abruptly let go of her.
Ji Nuan raised her head to look at the man who was moving away from her. “Actually, it’s not impossible…”
Mo Jingshen’s eyes were filled with her reflection; he chuckled at her words and helped her up from the sofa. He made her sit up and lean against his side.
Ji Nuan was about to neaten up her clothes when the man brought her into his arms: “Nuan Nuan.”
“En?” The man’s voice was too gentle, and Ji Nuan couldn’t help but turn to look at his handsome complexion.
The man spoke slowly: “That year in Los Angeles, Su Xueyi pushed you off of the car on the highway and the serious fall caused your miscarriage. According to Feng Ling, you had to go through emergency treatment at the time. Was it very painful?”
Ji Nuan’s expression was peaceful. She laid her head against his shoulders and under the lights, her eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on her skin: “No matter how much pain I endured, it can’t be compared to the pain you felt when you used your own body to block the incoming truck. I’ve always believed that the reason you were able to keep your life despite the serious injuries, is because our baby left first, and prayed in heaven for his Daddy to accompany his Mommy longer so that we wouldn’t have to separate so early.”
“Or perhaps…” Ji Nuan raised her hand and carelessly played with his b.u.t.tons the way she did a few days ago. It seemed like even though she had regained her consciousness, she had become used to relying on him in his embrace. She spoke softly: “Perhaps he knew that the direction of my life had to be changed and that it wasn’t suitable for him to be born yet. And so, he returned obediently to wait for another time to meet us.”
“It must have been extremely painful. I heard that you bled a lot in the emergency room, and because of your pregnancy, they couldn’t use any anesthesia on you. You fainted over again and again from the pain.”
For Ji Nuan, it had been much more than just physical pain. While enduring the immense pain, she had been keenly aware that her baby could not be kept. At the same time, she had to worry for Mo Jingshen, who was also undergoing emergency treatment. It was as though life had found all of the worst forms of torture and dealt it on her; as though all of the worst pains she had experienced in her past life had returned to her at the same time.
And right after that, he had personally pushed her away.
It had to be very painful.
And so, even after learning the truth, she still could not bring herself to lower her head.
Yet, no matter how stubborn she was, and how strong her temper could be, at the end of the day, it couldn’t change the fact that she still loved him; that she couldn’t let him go.
“I think so. There was a period where my stomach felt unusually flat every time I touched it. I couldn’t get used to it at all. But at the time, your parents were especially worried about you. I didn’t want to give them any more mental pressure, so I never said anything. At moments when my heart felt especially heavy, I would send you messages. I sent you one everyday…”
“I read all of those messages.”
“En, you’ve told me before. I know.”
“Every single one of them.”
“I know.”
Seeing the way she seemed to have forgiven him, and had no interest in nitpicking about those small matters, Mo Jingshen held her slightly cold cheeks and leaned down: “Nuan Nuan, I’m sorry.” ”
Ji Nuan was originally playing with his b.u.t.tons. When she heard his words, she subconsciously tightened her grip around his s.h.i.+rt fabric. She then smiled. “In order to express your sincerity, you’ll have to accompany me to rest for a while. Right now, MN Group is under Xia Tian’s care. If I suddenly return now, and she finds out that I’m all right, she’ll definitely try to throw the company back into my hands. It’s rare that I have the opportunity to rest my body and mind. I don’t want to head back just yet.”
Mo Jingshen never expected that the little woman’s final condition would be something like this. His graceful, deep brows moved slightly: “So simple?”
“You’re the great Mo Jingshen who doesn’t want for anything. I don’t lack for anything either. It’s been so many years. What we’ve truly missed is the opportunity to put down our work and enjoy being with each other. Besides, we never had a honeymoon after our marriage. This is only compensation for it,” Ji Nuan spoke as if this was all expected.
The man lifted one corner of his lips. “All right. We’ll do as you say.”
“Then, let’s play for another two months?” Ji Nuan planned out the time as she spoke: “Let’s play in Argentina for a few more days. Afterward, when we pa.s.s by America, I want to head to New York to watch a fas.h.i.+on show. I also want to visit the school I studied in Los Angeles. I also have to bring you to London, to show you the places I frequented when I was in England. En, we should also go to Ireland, Greece, Egypt… Actually, it seems like two months is completely insufficient?”
“If two months isn’t enough, we’ll do three months. If three months isn’t enough, we’ll do a year. I’ll be by your side the whole time, en?”
“Is it really all right to make the s.h.i.+ne Group’s Great Boss accompany me as I travel the world like this?”
“Of course. My wife is the most important. Everything else is secondary.”
