She glanced at the parking lot and the two cars again and asked a waiter beside her, “h.e.l.lo, may I ask where those gentlemen were sitting just now?”
The waiter looked at her up and down. “Oh, are you talking about Mr. Mo, Miss?”
Ji Nuan immediately cast a thoughtful glance at the waiter. “Do you know him?”
“In recent years, if Mr. Mo meets with friends or business partners to discuss work, he often chooses our shop. All the private rooms on the second floor will not be open to the public as long as Mr. Mo comes. Mr. Mo was sitting on the second floor near the stairs. He had been there for a long time and had just left.” The waiter said politely, “Miss, you find out too late. If you wanted to say h.e.l.lo to Mr. Mo, you could have done it ten minutes ago, but now he’s gone.”
From his words, it seemed that when people found Mo Jingshen was here, they often found a way to say h.e.l.lo to him or introduce themselves. The waiter was used to people asking about Mr. Mo.
But Ji Nuan was looking silently in the direction the waiter had just indicated.
Sitting on the second floor near the stairs? Wasn’t it right above where she had just sat? And the second floor of the cafe was not enclosed, so he, sitting there, could have a panoramic view of all the guests and activities on the first floor. She had just sat right below him, and he had not only watched her every movement but had probably heard a good deal of the conversation.
So, Mo Jingshen had seen exactly what she had just said and done to Mr. Vinse and Mr. Vinse’s mother just now?
Ji Nuan looked out again, found that Mo Jingshen’s car had gone, and returned to the seat in front of Mr. Vinse.
Mr. Vinse’s mother was probably embarra.s.sed by what she had done, so she had left when Ji Nuan went to the bathroom, but the bracelet remained on the table.
“I’m sorry about what happened just now.” Mr. Vinse chuckled when Ji Nuan sat down. “Although I did have some intention of pus.h.i.+ng the boat with the current, fortunately, you did not fall out with me.”
Hearing his words, Ji Nuan merely smiled. “Auntie is fun, but you’re really old enough to get married.”
“So, you’ve never intended to marry me?”
Ji Nuan had made it clear long ago, but at a time like this, she felt she had to say it again.
“You know, Mr. Vinse, I won’t consider marriage in the coming years. Now that we’ve come to this topic let me make it clear. We can be business partners and friends, but I’m afraid we can’t have another kind of relations.h.i.+p. I hope you can choose some other girl and stop wasting your time with me.”
Mr. Vinse looked at her for a moment, smiled but said nothing more. Then he motioned to her to put away the emerald bracelet on the table. “Now that my mother has decided to give this bracelet to you, I won’t take it back. Take this bracelet. Even as a friend, I can give you a gift occasionally.”
“I didn’t even take that bracelet from you. This is bracelet is your mother’s, and I certainly won’t take it. Please take it back and give it to the right person.”
“You just don’t accept my love, don’t you? During the last three years in London, I had tried several times to get closer to you, but every time I took one step forward, you would take one step back. If I push you harder, you’ll probably get further away.” He looked at her face. “Ji Nuan, why? Since you went to the UK after your divorce, it means that you had decided to put aside your previous relations.h.i.+p and marriage, but why don’t you move on to the next relations.h.i.+p? If I am not your type, I will accept it, but you simply refuse any man, so how can I accept this result?”
“It does no matter you accept it or not. “Ji Nuan looked at him peacefully. “Mr. Vinse, if you still want to have dinner with me tonight, I advise you to take me as a good friend. Otherwise, I am afraid I will have to leave before the dinner time at five o ‘clock.”
Being refused by Ji Nuan for countless times, Mr. Vinse knew Ji Nuan well and was used to her p.r.i.c.kly att.i.tude in the face of such questions, so he just looked into her eyes and smiled, knowing that he was refused by her once again.
In fact, Ji Nuan had planned to have a good talk with Mr. Vinse about this affair. Mr. Vinse had been really nice to her these years, and she didn’t want to waste his time.
But perhaps today, Mr. Vinse’s mother gave her an instant insight into her real thoughts as she didn’t want to accept Mr. Vinse’s love.
So, she just made it clear.
It was almost five o ‘clock when they left the cafe. Before she walked to the parking lot, she couldn’t help looking back at the cafe behind her.
She clearly remembered that Mo Jingshen did not like to drink coffee. In fact, she was not very fond of coffee either, but when she was still working in the studio, she would often pa.s.s by and buy some coffee for colleagues in the studio, so she gradually got used to drinking coffee here and became a regular customer of this cafe.
But why did Mo Jingshen come here so often these years?

After dinner at an Italian restaurant, Mr. Vinse invited her to a movie.
She knew that Mr. Vinse was trying to promote the relations.h.i.+p with her today, but it ended up in embarra.s.sment. But the whole theater had been booked, Mr. Vinse would be really disappointed if she didn’t come to watch the movie.
She had said what she should say anyway, so she didn’t refuse to go to the movie.
There were only two of them in the VIP hall. Mr. Vinse, who must have consulted her secretary about how to please a girl on a date, had even brought Ji Nuan popcorn and c.o.ke when he came in.
Ji Nuan thanked him with a smile. Then she was absorbed in the movie, and they sat in their respective seats and said nothing.
It was a good Hollywood movie that lasted as long as two hours. It was already ten o ‘clock at night when they left the cinema.
Mr. Vinse drove her back. On the way back, he said, “I specially prepared this dating day for you, but in the end, instead of getting a kiss from you, I had to keep a distance from you to avoid making you upset.”
