Half an hour later, Ji Nuan came downstairs.
Feng Ling was already waiting for her.
âMrs. Mo.â Feng Ling approached. âMr. Mo is leaving today?â
âEn.â
âAll right. Then from today onward, Iâll continue accompanying you at T University.â
âAre the wounds on your elbow fully healed?â
âThey had healed a while ago. Itâs fine. President Mo wouldnât have been at ease with me by your side if I still had problems.â
On their way to T University, Ji Nuan casually said, âI noticed that you trimmed your hair. It was actually quite nice when it was grown out slightly. You trimmed it so short, those who donât know might think that the person by my side isnât a female bodyguard, but a handsome little boy with beautiful skin.â
âIsnât this exactly President Moâs wish? If it appears that there is a handsome boy by your side, who would dare to approach you carelessly.â Feng Ling chuckled lightly.
â...It was fine when you didnât mention it, but now that youâve brought it up, I canât help but suspect if this was his exact intentions when he assigned you by my side.â Ji Nuan pursed her lips.
âOtherwise, why would he have me follow you all the way to T City?â Feng Ling lifted her brows slightly.
â...â
Mo Jingshen, this man, was truly cunning and full of schemes!
...
At night, Ji Nuan left T University and returned to the condo. This was her first night alone after Mo Jingshenâs return. After having his company for more than half a month, she was suddenly unable to adjust.
The kitchen was empty. The silhouette of Boss Mo who returned on time every day to cook personally for her was absent. He, who was used to holding her on the sofa, was nowhere to be found. Even the bed had no sign of him.
Only the bathroom had a razor left behind by the man. It was placed neatly in the cabinet, as though waiting for its ownerâs return.
It was only the first night, and she had already begun to miss Mo Jingshen. How could this be?
In less than two days, Sheng Yihanâs car appeared and blocked Ji Nuan right at T Universityâs entrance.
When Sheng Yihanâs car appeared, Feng Ling immediately tugged Ji Nuan behind her. Her gaze was cold like knives as she watched the manâs face through the car windows.
âSo cold?â Sheng Yihan sat in the car. His gaze scanned the two of them and finally landed on Ji Nuanâs composed expression.
Ji Nuan was expressionless as she watched him. âDoes the Sheng Family have a lot of free time that you can come to T City to be an eyesore whenever you feel like it? Didnât you bring Ji Mengran away a while ago? Now that sheâs gone missing, rather than feigning sympathy, why have you come to look for me?â
Hearing the ridicule in her tone, Sheng Yihan coldly and indifferently said, âJi Nuan.â
Ji Nuan raised her brows: âPlease address me as Miss Ji or Mrs. Mo. Iâm not familiar with you.â
The man coldly spoke, âSince youâre unable to let go of what happened years ago, I wonât force you to move on from it. My only question is, regarding the case of the Sheng Groupâs Hong Kong shares being suddenly suppressed by the Mo Corporation, was it done on your request or was it single-handedly done by Mo Jingshen?â
Hearing this, Ji Nuan watched him and spoke casually and naturally: âDo you really need me to give you the answer? Do you think Mo Jingshen would have the time to shift his focus onto a secondary company like Sheng Group? It was naturally done because I find you displeasing to my eyes.â
Sheng Yihan gave a cold, mocking smile: âThis isnât the first day that Mo Jingshen is suppressing the Sheng Group. Did you think that he would wait for your request to act upon me? Itâs only that he has begun to interfere even with our shares recently. I suppose youâre right. Without your involvement, there is no way he would put so much thought into controlling the Sheng Groupâs lifeline.â
Ji Nuan gently pushed Feng Ling, who was standing before her, aside. She was quiet for a moment before speaking: âSince you already know of this, why did you come to ask? His actions and my intentions will not differ.â
âJi Nuan.â As he spoke these two words, his tone was sharp. âDo you plan on always maintaining such an attitude when you speak to me?â
âHow else would I speak to you? Mr. Sheng, who do you think you are? Do I need to be polite to you? As someone who used to hold that sort of role in my life, do you expect me to behave like a saint and express my forgiveness for you? Iâm sure that Iâve always expressed such an attitude, and my stand has always been clear.â
Sheng Yihan suddenly chuckled. His smile was mild, but the corner of his lips carried dense frigid intent. After a moment, he concealed it.
Ji Nuan smiled on the surface as well, but her eyes did not contain any smiling intent. âMust I make things even more clear? Although I was young back then, I know that you werenât as drunk as you made yourself appear.â
Neglecting the manâs sudden gaze, Ji Nuan turned and walked away.
Sheng Yihan did not follow them. The silver car was parked outside T Universityâs gates for a long time, unmoving.

The three months of classes at T University were finally approaching its end.
T Universityâs one-hundredth anniversary celebration was only three days away. On this day, the schoolâs internet service suddenly met with a problem. Both the studentsâ mobile data purchased from private companies and the schoolâs wireless data were down.
Ji Nuan only found out that night that someone had anonymously posted the photos of Ji Nuan and Mo Jingshen taken from that day. Although the account was taken down within five minutes, to prevent this gossip from spreading, Mo Jingshen, who was all the way in Hai City, had actually ordered someone to seal away all the internet services at T University for a day.
The photos were actually not q big deal. There were only shots of Ji Nuan alighting from Mo Jingshenâs car, and of the two of them dining in the restaurant near Mo Corporationâs office. There was nothing scandalous captured.
However, the content written beneath the photos was extremely unbearable to look at. Through groundless accusations and conjectures, the person who posted the photos used words like âprostitute,â âseduce,â âshameless,â âthird party,â âdirty,â âgreedy for money,â and many other adjectives to describe Ji Nuan.
After investigating the source of the photos, Feng Ling brought those photos and charged into their dorm room. Ling Feifei had only just entered. If she hadnât moved away in time, her waist would have been broken by Feng Lingâs kick.
âAh! What are you doing!?â Watching Feng Ling, who had directly slammed her leg out toward her, Ling Feifei was frightened into jumping away.
âWhat am I doing? Youâll find out soon.â
With a cold smile, Feng Ling grabbed hold of Ling Feifeiâs hair. As Ling Feifei released a sharp cry of pain, she hauled her with force toward the side. She stretched her other hand out and with a single tug, she removed Ling Feifeiâs bedsheets. All of the things on her bed slipped off onto the ground.
âAhââ
Ji Nuan had only just entered the room to hear an incessant, blood-curling shriek. The moment she raised her eyes, she saw the following scene:
Feng Lingâs expression was cold as she stepped on Ling Feifeiâs things on the ground. She tossed through her phone and her skincare products and finally found an SD card hidden under Ling Feifeiâs pillow. She picked up the SD card and pushed Ling Feifei harshly against the corner of the room.
