Chapter 68: En? The Office, What About It?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ao Lan International was not far from here. Going back would only take a few minutes. In the morning, Mo Jingshen had taken care of her stomach. Treating her husband to lunch was considered returning the favor.
However, she was not sure if Mo Jingshen would be busy at this time.
After arriving at the highest floor of the building, she walked out of the elevator and did not expect to see Mo Jingshen stepping out of his office. Their gaze met.
His tall body left a long silhouette on the office floor. He was charming and handsome, dressed in a grey s.h.i.+rt. The first two b.u.t.tons of his s.h.i.+rt were unb.u.t.toned, and the light cast a shadow on the exposed parts of his collarbone. His skin was also a beautiful color. The man’s face was n.o.ble and cool; calm and dignified.
The moment he saw Ji Nuan, Mo Jingshen unhurriedly raised his charming brows. His cold and apathetic eyes seemed to soften. His lips curved slightly, subconsciously smiling.
It had only been two hours since she saw him. Why was it that the moment she saw him smile, her heart was beating as though it wanted to jump out of her skin?
Could it be that she was frostbitten earlier on when she saw Qin Siting’s behavior of being warm on the outside but cold on the inside. Due to this, now that she saw Mo Jingshen, she could not help but want to throw herself forward to regain warmth?
Ji Nuan walked over. Just as she was about to say something, Mo Jingshen averted his gaze and spoke to the woman dressed in professional white-collar clothes. “Go ahead with the project design as we planned. If there are any questions, contact me.”
The woman by his side gave a dignified and graceful smile. “All right, CEO Mo.”
The moment her words landed; the woman directly headed toward the elevator. When she pa.s.sed by Ji Nuan, she politely smiled at her.
Ji Nuan knew that in all the different departments of Mo Corporation, the men and women were all not lacking. Seeing such a striking woman here was not strange. However, she still could not help giving her another glance.
This woman had a unique temperament — a soft beauty with much confidence. Her age was most likely around twenty or thirty. When she walked, she carried with her a delicate scent. It was a high-cla.s.s yet subtle perfume from France, revealing her good taste.
What caught Ji Nuan’s attention more was this woman’s ident.i.ty.
The CEO’s secretary.
The elevator opened and closed. Ji Nuan originally wanted to invite the great CEO Mo out for lunch, but what left her mouth was something else. “Previously, wasn’t the position of your secretary still empty? When did you find a new secretary? I didn’t hear of it.”
Her words had just landed when Mo Jingshen opened the office door behind him. He naturally wrapped his arm around Ji Nuan to pull her closer to him and brought her into the office.
“In the past few days when I wasn’t in the country, America’s s.h.i.+ne Group transferred this secretary over. The position of the company’s senior executive, as well as the CEO’s secretary, cannot be vacant for long. It’s not surprising that the Mo family would transfer someone over from s.h.i.+ne.”
Ji Nuan went quiet for a moment and did not immediately speak.
“What’s wrong?” his expression was warm as he asked softly.
“… nothing. I just casually asked. After all, I suddenly discovered that a gorgeous and capable woman appeared next to my husband. I can’t pretend I didn’t see anything.”
Mo Jingshen looked at her profoundly. “Are you jealous?”
“No! Definitely not!”
He softly chuckled, raising a hand to pinch her cheek gently. “Mrs. Mo is known as Hai Cheng’s first based on her looks. Right now, she’s standing here praising some other woman for her beauty. How could it not be jealousy, en?”
Ji Nuan furrowed her brows. Even this was easily seen through?
It was clearly just a work relations.h.i.+p. However, earlier on, when she saw the secretary smiling at her, she felt uncomfortable for some reason.
“You are the boss, and she is the subordinate. I only casually commented.” Ji Nuan’s lips were stubborn. She turned around, trying to retreat from his embrace.
Mo Jingshen did not allow her to retreat. He brought her behind the office table and made her sit on his lap as he hugged her. His gently patted her waist over and over soothingly while his lips had a faintly discernible smile.
No matter how she looked, it still seemed as though he was using his gaze to tease her about her being jealous.
“Why did you come to the office at this time instead of resting at home?” His voice was clear. Within their warm embrace, his calm and unhurried voice became much gentler.
“Earlier, I went to visit Doctor Qin to collect the drug a.n.a.lysis results. On the way back, I pa.s.sed by here and thought to invite the great CEO Mo to eat hot pot,” Ji Nuan explained, intentionally avoiding any mention of him wanting her to rest more at home.
Although her legs were weak in the morning, it was not to the point where she could not leave the door after taking a bath and resting for several hours. It was just that after being pressed by him for too long last night, she became tired much more easily today.
“What was the result?”
“The medicine that I sent over didn’t have any strange effects. But they can’t conclude that nothing is wrong. The next time I pa.s.s by the Ji home, I’ll find an opportunity to check the other medicines.” Ji Nuan glanced at the time, her brows furrowing while her voice still carried a hint of jealousy. “Have you had lunch yet? Will you give me face and have hot pot with me?”
Mo Jingshen gently rubbed her head, messing up her hair. He spoke with a low voice while concealing a smile, “Your expression clearly shows that you’re not happy. If I don’t give you face, won’t I have no bed to sleep on tonight?”
“Even if you gave me face, you still can’t sleep with me tonight.” Ji Nuan pretended to be mad. “When will you give me time to rest? It’s been two days since I slept well!”
Seeing her upset expression, Mo Jingshen’s heart moved. He held onto the back of her head and leaned down to kiss her.
It was only a touch, but Ji Nuan nearly jumped up from within his embrace. She rushed to lean backward, and after being kissed again, she whispered, “This is your office…”
“En? The office, what about it?” While Ji Nuan glared at him, he pressed another two kisses on her lips purposely teasing her. After seeing her angered expression, he continued.
Ji Nuan heard the sound of people pa.s.sing by occasionally outside of the door. Even if the CEO’s office was on the highest floor of the Mo Corporation and the secretary and a.s.sistant office were downstairs, it was unavoidable that employees would still come to the highest floor. This was a public s.p.a.ce. Ji Nuan tightened her body. Just as he was about to deepen the kiss, she opened her mouth and bit down.
Mo Jingshen’s black eyes saw her sensitive and embarra.s.sed expression up close. He chuckled against her lips, rubbing her hair as he warmly and softly said, “Do you know, when you look embarra.s.sed, it makes it even harder for men to control themselves.”
Ji Nuan’s lips were pressed against his. She glared at him. “I was right last night! After tasting meat, you don’t know how to control yourself anymore!”
“If I don’t know how to control myself, would you have the ability to step out of the door today?”
“…”
She could not continue listening to such things anymore!
