“Even though nothing actually happened to me due to my effort; even though after he woke up, he stood outside my ward almost without eating or drinking for three days when I was in a coma, the damage he had done to me is ineradicable. Even though he was drunk back then, so what? That’s not a reason,” Ji Nuan said flatly. “My father was enraged. He used to appreciate this stepson and didn’t mind he was an illegitimate son of the Sheng Family, but after that, there was no room for Sheng Yihan in the Ji family, and even Sheng Heru claimed to disown him.”
“I was in the hospital for two months before I came home. My father expelled Sheng Yihan out of the Ji family in front of me to uphold justice for me. Mengran said in tears that Brother Sheng was drunk, and he didn’t mean to offend me. She interceded for him, but my father was really furious, and he even warned Shen Heru that if she dared to keep contact with her son, he would drive her out too.”
“To keep this shadow from haunting me, my father ordered that no one shall mention Sheng Yihan’s name in the Ji family. From then on, his name had been a taboo in the Ji family. Then I went to the United States to study. My horizons were broadened, and I no longer thought about that matter. If it weren’t for that night, I wouldn’t be so afraid of coldness. I had been very healthy before that night!”
When she said ‘very healthy’ to Mo Jingshen, she looked a bit aggrieved.
Mo Jingshen looked at her and pinched her cheek. “I know, I know. Fortunately, that matter that happened when you were still a teenager is not too much of a shadow over your life.”
“What did Ji Mengran tell you besides that I had a short affair with Sheng Yihan when I was fifteen?”
“What else would she say. As you expected, she made her own ‘truth’ with a lot of fabricated plots.”
“…Why didn’t you just ask me?”
“The truth filtered through her embellished words is that you were almost raped when you were still a teenager. How can I ask you about this if you don’t want to tell me? Peel open your wound and ask if it hurts? Do you think I will do this?”
“…”
This may sound cold-blooded but seemed to be thoughtful to her.
Ji Nuan suddenly plumped out her cheeks as if in an expression of indignation. She leaned against Mo Jingshen’s shoulders. “No wonder Ji Mengran was so confident that you would be hers, and no wonder she was always upset because you treat me so well. It turns out that she had early told you about that matter.”
Mo Jingshen raised his eyebrows. “I’ve never seen her alone. Don’t think too much.”
“She doesn’t need to see you alone. From what I know of her, she will find a chance anyway and let you hear the rumors about me without even meeting you.”
At this moment, Ji Nuan suddenly remembered that Sheng Yihan wanted to give her a watch last time. She looked at him. “So, you know that I didn’t accept that watch last time, right?”
Mo Jingshen gazed at her. “He knew you wouldn’t accept the watch but still gave it to you. That watch is a Lady Arpels Pont des Amoureux. Who do you think he was provoking?”
“Yeah…”
“Nuan Nuan.” He suddenly called her name. “If he comes to you again or does anything that makes you suspicious, tell me. Don’t try to solve it yourself.”
“What did you talk about today? He will still come to me?”
“Keep that in mind, just in case.”
Ji Nuan gazed at his handsome face, pursed her lips and suddenly kissed him on the chin. “Why do you look so calm after hearing that I was almost raped when I was little? Shouldn’t you be furious and want to kill, just like what happens in movies.”
“Even if I have cut him into pieces in my mind, what has been done can’t be undone.” Mo Jingshen gently patted her head. His voice was calm, but there was a subtle chill in it. “Don’t worry. I’ll make him pay for what he has done to you.”
Ji Nuan suddenly smiled. She got into his arms and put her hands around his neck. “My dear husband.”
“En?”
“I love you,” Ji Nuan put her face against his chest and said seriously.
Last time she said this a bit jokingly, but this time, she really meant it.
Mo Jingshen smiled and reached out his long arm to hug her. He rubbed her hair and chuckled. “It seems that you learn nothing but how to confess your love after you came to T City.”
At this time, a doctor from the dispensary came around to check the list of medicine. Mo Jingshen asked Ji Nuan to stay here and went to talk with that doctor.
Four hours later, it was midnight, and they finally got the decocted medicine and drove back to their apartment.
When they waited for the medicine to be decocted, Mo Jingshen did everything, so she didn’t have to worry about anything. She just needed to sleep in the waiting room before he took her back home.
After they reached home, Mo Jingshen coaxed her to drink the medicine. At one o’clock in the morning, she sleepily held a bowl and drank the medicine that was so bitter that she almost cried. She raised her head only to see Mo Jingshen looking at her. Obviously, he would take out another bag of the medicinal soup and make her drink it if she dared to spit it out.
Seeing her finally reluctantly drink off the bowl of medicine, he smiled in satisfaction. “Good girl. Now take a shower and go to sleep.”
Finally being allowed to sleep, Ji Nuan washed up, got into bed, and immediately fell asleep.
In her sleep, she felt a warmth from her feet. She opened her eyes sleepily only to find Mo Jingshen holding her curled-up body in his arms and her feet in his palm, which was warm.
“What are you doing?” she mumbled sleepily.
“I just want to hug you, en?”
“En…”
“If your hands and feet get cold again just tell me and I’ll prepare something at home to warm you.” Mo Jingshen gazed at her sleepy face. This little woman looked so s.e.xy when she woke up.
His Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat. As she nodded and said, “En,” he leaned over to kiss her between her eyebrows and forced two words out of his throat. “Just sleep.”

Mo Jingshen would stay in T City for half a month, during which Ji Nuan had no chance to go back to her dorm or to be exact, she didn’t want to go back to live in her dorm.
The first thing President Mo would do when he got back to his apartment from work was to cook for her. She had never enjoyed this treatment in Hai City.
But he didn’t have time to buy the ingredients himself, which were delivered every day by the housekeeping aunt he had hired. She would clean up the vegetables and leave them in the kitchen.
Although the aunt really wanted to stay and cook for Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo, she thought she’d better not disturb the lovers…
