Chapter 257: Ji Nuan… Is Mo Jingshen’s Wife?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ji Nuan ran around in the kitchen, a.s.sisting Mo Jingshen. She had thought that she could attract him with her culinary skills.
But she was attracted by his culinary skill instead.
“Need a dish?”
“Are there any vegetables to clean up?”
“Do you need me to prepare ginger…”
“How about garlic? Do you need one?”
This was all she could do, and even these jobs were strongly demanded by her. Otherwise, she could only sit on the sofa watching TV because Mo Jingshen didn’t let her touch anything in the kitchen.
She came into the kitchen to a.s.sist him because she thought she couldn’t just do nothing but sit and wait to eat.
During dinner, Mo Jingshen watched Ji Nuan tasted the delicious food with relish and said to her, “Some directors of the Education Bureau of T City and T University invited me to dinner this weekend. I tried to reject them, but they insisted on it. Are you going with me?”
“Directors of T University? They will know our relations.h.i.+p if I go with you, won’t they?”
“They are not your cla.s.smates. They will keep it a secret for you even if they know you are Mrs. Mo. Don’t worry.”
“I will think about it…”
“Why? Your princ.i.p.al will take his daughter to this dinner who has just got her master’s degree. He has tried several times to introduce his daughter to me. Are you sure you’re not going?”
“…”
“Why are you glaring at me?”
“Mo Jingshen, why are there so many women who want to date you?”
“But I reject them all, don’t I?”
“…”
Ji Nuan chewed the rice in her mouth hard, but suddenly she realized that if she hadn’t insisted coming to T University, Mo Jingshen wouldn’t have had a chance to meet T University’s princ.i.p.al and the latter wouldn’t have dreamed of introducing his own daughter to him.
So, Mo Jingshen was to blame because he was too attractive to women!
Tut, how I want to have him all covered up except for a pair of eyes, then he wouldn’t attract so many women’s attention.
“If I go to that dinner, do I have to introduce myself?”
“Do you think you’re a new student?”
“Then what if the princ.i.p.al takes me as a student and drives me away? How should I answer if they ask me who I am?”
“My wife.”
“….what?”
Mo Jingshen glanced at her. “Then what do you think I would take you with me for?”
“You take me to fight three hundred rounds with the princ.i.p.al’s daughter?” Ji Nuan raised her eyebrow. “I have to say you overestimate my ability.”
Mo Jingshen laughed. “The princ.i.p.al just implied he wanted to introduce his daughter to me but didn’t say it explicitly. Meeting his daughter won’t change anything. I don’t think he will force me to date his daughter if he finds out that I’m not interested in her. It’s just an ordinary dinner. Mrs. Mo, are you too shy to go to that dinner with me?”
“Why should I be shy?”
“Then are you going or not?”
Ji Nuan put down the bowl and took a breath. “Okay, I’ll go. I must go defend my husband, leaving you no chance to cheat on me.”
“En?”
“Well, I mean, leave others no chance to covet you!”

It happened to be the time of that dinner when Ji Nuan’s cla.s.s was over. Professor Lin emphasized to the students that he had something to tend to tonight and told them to call him tomorrow if they had any problem.
So, Professor Lin would go to that dinner tonight too.
Although it was just an ordinary dinner, the directors of the Education Bureau and T University would attend it, so they chose a very formal restaurant instead of a noisy nightclub.
When the dinner was going to begin, the princ.i.p.al of T University finally persuaded his daughter to come with him. The directors were all expecting Mo Jingshen’s arrival.
Mo Jingshen arrived just on time. He came to the restaurant precisely at 7:30 p.m. As soon as he pushed the door, the people in the room all looked at him and then at Ji Nuan who was behind him. To their surprise, President Mo didn’t come alone but brought a person with him.
A pretty girl.
She had black straight long hair and well-shaped long legs. On her fair, oval-shaped face, there was a pair of almond-like eyes with thick eyelashes. She was slim and wore a leisure dress that had no brand logo but looked fas.h.i.+onable and chic. She was young but didn’t look childish and looked wise yet stunningly beautiful.
All men couldn’t help glancing at the princ.i.p.al’s daughter who was sitting among them as soon as they spotted the girl behind Mo Jingshen and then rested their eyes on Ji Nuan.
Under their stares, Ji Nuan smiled elegantly and calmly. Then she looked around and made eye contact with Professor Lin. She nodded at Professor Lin respectfully. “Hi, Professor Lin!”
Professor Lin’s eyelid twitched.
He had early suspected that Ji Nuan had a special relations.h.i.+p with President Mo, but he didn’t expect he would take her here today.
The directors of T University vaguely remembered that Ji Nuan was a student of T University. They exchanged glances with each other, wondering why Mo Jingshen took her here with him.
There was a thirty-something man among the directors of the Education Bureau sitting beside the princ.i.p.al. His eyes lit up when he saw Ji Nuan. Not looking embarra.s.sed at all under these people’s stare, Ji Nuan elegantly went to sit down at the table with Mo Jingshen.
That thirty-something man remembered that Ji Nuan seemed to be Professor Lin’s student. He couldn’t help looking at her a few more times and asked carefully and politely, “President Mo, who is this young lady?”
“My wife, Ji Nuan,” Mo Jingshen smiled and said without any hesitation.
In an instant, the others in the room all gaped and some directors of T University who knew who Ji Nuan was almost froze.
“Wife?” The princ.i.p.al looked at Ji Nuan incredulously. “When did you get married, President Mo? If my memory serves me right, isn’t this Miss Ji a student of Professor Lin at our school?”
“My wife founded a studio in Hai City in her spare time. She thought she lacked management skills, so she made time to study administrative management in T City,” Mo Jingshen said casually as if talking about something perfectly normal.
But it wasn’t normal at all in others’ minds.
Mrs. Mo, President Mo’s wife, went to study at T University, keeping a low profile and never exposing her ident.i.ty, and had even become a top student in Professor Lin’s cla.s.s. The whole story was just unimaginable.
At this moment, Ji Nuan spotted a young girl sitting beside the princ.i.p.al who looked a bit embarra.s.sed right now. It seemed that she was the princ.i.p.al’s daughter.
“Hi, Princ.i.p.al. Hi, directors. I did come to T University for further education. As my purpose is to study, I didn’t tell you about my family background. Professor Lin is an old friend of my father, but he didn’t know who my husband was, and I didn’t tell him,” Ji Nuan explained and looked at Professor Lin. “You won’t blame me, will you, Professor?”
After suddenly being mentioned, Professor Lin laughed. “Of course not. It’s my honor that Mrs. Mo can be my student, but you really hide your ident.i.ty well. You are the most low-key student in my cla.s.s. I never expected that President Mo is your… husband.”
