Ji Nuan pursed her lips. âThen, why didnât you tell me about this beforehand?â
Mo Jingshen meaningfully stared at her, pinching her chin once more. He softly and deeply chuckled. âBefore everything was concluded, I didnât want you to feel pressured.â
In an instant, it felt like all the ice in Ji Nuanâs heart melted.
If she had known the reason Mo Jingshen had been so busy in the past few days was all for the sake of keeping his promise to her, she would definitely have been bothered. She would also have wondered if she was being too unreasonable.
âIâm sorry.â Ji Nuanâs biggest mistake was in not trusting him. She felt very apologetic in her heart. âActually, regarding Secretary An, Iâm not that bothered. I know that toward her, you donât actually...â
âEn, youâre very broad-minded.â It was as though Mo Jingshen had seen through her thoughts. He said, amused, âJumping out of the window to climb the tree and then drinking in depression. In this world, there might not be a woman who can be more broad-minded than you.â
Ji Nuan had yet to have the time to feel ashamed. The man picked up a few strands of wet hair draped over her shoulder, asking lowly, âAre you full?â
âEn.â Ji Nuan was truly in the wrong today. She nodded quietly, allowing him to caress her shoulders gently as he pleased.
His posture was relaxed and unhurried. His long fingers casually twisted a few strands of her hair.
âThen, itâs my turn to eat now.â
âEat then, I didnât eat too much earlier.â Ji Nuan raised her hand to arrange the takeaway boxes on the table. She picked up a new set of cutlery from the side, pushing it toward him.
The man chuckled softly. He did not take a single look at the food on the side, and instead, pressed her against the side of the table. He kissed bit by bit down against her neck.
Ji Nuanâs body carried the light fragrance of the shower gel. She was wrapped up in the towel and bathrobe, so completely covered that he wanted to rip it apart and crush her into being one with him.
He kissed until her body softened, almost melting into his embrace.
Only when Mo Jingshenâs kiss landed on her lips, did Ji Nuan realize in shock that Mo Jingshenâs kiss deepened with time and was slightly teasing.
He kissed the corner of her lips and her burning face, before nibbling against her earlobe. His warm breath landed on her earlobe. âIn the past few days, Iâve been working late and havenât had sufficient sleep. How will you make it up to me?â
Ji Nuan laid on his shoulders, feeling the heat emanating from his body. Due to him teasing her sensitive ears, she was flustered and softened even more in his embrace.
âWhat do you want?â She tilted her head up and stared at him with her shiny eyes. âIf youâre exhausted, I can give you a massage before you go to sleep?â
As she suggested, she felt it was a good idea and directly raised her hand to wave it in front of his eyes. âDo you want a massage?â
The room was very quiet. The window curtains blocked the moonlight and the city lights.
Mo Jingshen grabbed her hand, pressing a kiss on it.
âHelp me shower?â He raised his brows and chuckled softly.
Ji Nuan nodded unhesitatingly. âAll right.â
âWash the entire body,â he emphasized.
âOkay.â Ji Nuan nodded again. Her expression could not be more natural.
After seeing her being strangely cooperative, Mo Jingshenâs graceful brows rose. He chuckled, standing up to head toward the bathroom.
Ji Nuan stood up to follow. After turning on the bathroom lights, she thought for a moment and asked, âAbout the evening party... you donât need to go back anymore?â
Mo Jingshen removed his coat, leisurely unbuttoning his shirtâone button, two buttons, three buttons...
âThe issues I need to handle personally are mostly settled. Shen Mu and the vice-CEO can handle the follow-up procedures for the cooperation project. Even if I were to stay any longer, all I would accomplish is placating my father.â Mo Jingshenâs tone was mild.
âBut if you donât head back, would Director Mo...â Ji Nuanâs voice faltered for a moment. She did not plan on mentioning the incident in the bathroom today. The perpetrator behind that incident, both she and Mo Jingshen had a tacit understanding about it.
She understood very clearly that, when Mo Jingshen was around, aside from Mo Shaoze, no one else would have dared to give those sorts of orders.
Mo Jingshen released another set of buttons, his tone becoming colder. âInitially, I planned on giving him some face. Right now, thereâs no need.â
The man turned back. The unbuttoned shirt revealed a broad set of seductive shoulders; it could cause women to feel their mouth dry up instantly. The manâs body silhouette was perfect. Every area was indescribably seductive...
Alluring.
This word was not meant to describe men, but for Mo Jingshen, it was more than suitable.
Ji Nuanâs gaze trembled for a moment due to the sudden view. She remembered what she had promised earlier and walked over to help him remove his shirt.
Two minutes later.
Mo Jingshenâs lightly colored lips curved faintly as he watched the womanâs hand pause by his belt: âContinue.â
Ji Nuan: â...â
â-
Mo Jingshen said shower, and he really meant shower.
Ji Nuan thought he would eat her up in the bathtub. Yet, as she washed him clean from top to bottom, he remained unmoved like a mountain. Although he glanced at her meaningfully occasionally, he did nothing.
After working overtime for several days, he was most likely really exhausted.
Ji Nuan did not want to delay his rest any further. She dried his body. When she was about to walk out, Mo Jingshen grabbed her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
Ji Nuan heard the hoarseness in his voice from restraining himself for too long. âStill want to leave?â
Ji Nuanâs arm was pressed against his dry chest. Her gaze darted behind for a moment. âWhat else would we do? Itâs already so late, and you seem really tired...â
Without waiting for her to finish her words, the man pressed her into his embrace. His lips landed on her neck. He nibbled on a small patch of skin on the back of her neck.
It was no wonder the ancient people revealed the neck during executions. The back of a personâs neck was naturally weak and sensitive. Ji Nuan felt he had bitten onto a cluster of nerves. The sensitive signal exploded in her consciousness in an instant. It spread across her skin, and half of her body felt numb.
Mo Jingshen tightened his hand. âInitially, I was considering letting you off since your body wasnât feeling too well and you met with misfortune in the bathroom. But since you can jump out of the window, letâs forget about it. Are you saying because your man worked overtime for a few days, his ability to make love is affected?â
âThatâs not what I meant! I was trying to say...â
The logic she was trying to force out had yet to be spoken, and he had already picked her up. Mo Jingshen pressed her against the bathroom wall.
Ji Nuan was squeezed between him and the wall, both her legs forced to wrap around his waist...
She had just helped him shower. The robe she was wearing was half soaked. He reached out and untied the cumbersome thing.
Since it was soaked and heavy, there was no need to wear it anymore.
His kiss landed by her ears. Every time he bit her ears, she would melt. She pressed against his face to avoid it, but was unsuccessful, and could only lean against him, asking to be spared.
