Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?
chapter-147

“I’m sorry for disturbing the both of you.” Although An Shuyan received a blow, she still maintained a polite smile. She took a good look at the man soaking in the hot spring with Ji Nuan before abruptly turning to leave.

As An Shuyan’s footsteps finally became softer, Ji Nuan leaned her chin on Mo Jingshen’s shoulder. “Secretary An is actually rather good at tolerating. Based on her IQ and EQ, she can endure failures and grievances, but it’s clear you’ve hurt her pride. For a proud woman, her pride is her true bottom line.”

For a moment, Ji Nuan had caught a hint of dejection in the cracks of An Shuyan’s facade. Perhaps actually catching a glimpse of the two of them being intimate in the hot spring was much more painful to accept than hearing about their affections.

Mo Jingshen brushed away her wet hair from his neck, placing his hand on her collarbone. Ji Nuan turned to see the man’s approaching face.

Mo Jingshen’s tone was calm. “Do you want me to consider her pride or your feelings?”

Ji Nuan knitted her brows and bit down on his shoulders. “Why are you pushing this life-or-death question onto my lap?”

“One is a woman unrelated to me with pride unrelated to me. The other is the wife I’ve recognized; the woman who will accompany me for the rest of my life. There is a clear line between the two, but she is unable to recognize it.” Mo Jingshen rubbed her ears, his voice low and unhurried. “You know it’s a life-or-death question, and the correct answer is placed right here, yet you insist on having me say it out loud to satisfy your curiosity.”

Ji Nuan moved her lips away from his shoulder and gave him a kiss. “Looks like I have to place a stamp of approval on the world’s number one best husband!”

“You can place a stamp on it, but a kiss is too simple and ineffective.” The man held her waist under the water, deepening their kiss. “When we go back to the room, properly stamp it again. You can do it as you please.”

“Don’t mess around. This is the Mo home. It’s more important to take time to chat with grandfather tonight.” Ji Nuan spoke earnestly.

Mo Jingshen’s tone was earnest as well. “It’s also important to accompany your husband to bed.”

After soaking for a long time, Ji Nuan decided to leave the hot spring and return to their room to rest. She remained inside changing her clothes.

When Mo Jingshen stepped out of the hot spring, he saw An Shuyan still dressed in her robe, her lengthy hair flowing down her back. When she heard him moving, she turned back to look at him.

“CEO Mo.” An Shuyan regarded his graceful and warm good looks unaffected by the heat of the hot spring. “This is after all the Mo family, and we’re here as guests. Thankfully, the one who entered earlier was me. If it had been Uncle Mo or my father, I’m not sure how they would think of Ji Nuan.”

An Shuyan’s meaning was clear; she was secretly hinting that Ji Nuan had seduced him here. If the two of them had been intimate, it was the same as not giving Father An and Father Mo the respect they deserved.

The only words she had yet to use were ‘offending public morals.’

“Typical husbands and wives would occasionally be a little intimate. I didn’t think we would be an eyesore to Miss An.” Ji Nuan had already changed as she stepped out. She did not wait for Mo Jingshen to speak up and approached with a smile. “Miss An has an outstanding family background and keen intelligence to boast, so your sight would naturally be set high. However, such a sanctimonious judgment should not be used to appraise us.”

Ji Nuan approached Mo Jingshen’s side and then threw another glance at An Shuyan. “We are legally wedded. Don’t just mention kissing or hugging, even if we were to really do something unrestrained, it still would not even be slightly implicated with offending public morals.”

An Shuyan had thought to borrow the opportunity to speak with Mo Jingshen alone, but she never expected Ji Nuan would appear so quickly.

And this taboo topic of ‘unrestrained matters,’ was, of course, something only Ji Nuan and Mo Jingshen could do.

An Shuyan was silent for a moment before smiling slightly. “Mrs. Mo, we have had few interactions, but I still don’t know you especially well. I’ll be leaving tomorrow. Are you sure you want to leave me with such an impression?”

Ji Nuan wanted to smile. It seemed like this An Shuyan was genuinely invested in Mo Jingshen. Even if she could not obtain his future, after returning to America, he will always remain as the evergreen tree and bright moonlight in her heart. She would not let any other woman stain her impression of him.

“What sort of person am I, Miss An, you should be most aware of this. From the first time we met in the office, you had already thoroughly investigated my background. Furthermore, I say, is the impression I leave you very important?” Ji Nuan raised her brows and lightly chuckled. “Miss An, it’s all right to be conceited, but don’t be too arrogant and place so much importance on yourself.”

Mo Jingshen coldly said, “The Mo family is Ji Nuan’s home. She is free to act however she wishes to at home. There’s no need to hide anything.”

An Shuyan turned to him and suddenly smiled. “I had always thought your feelings for Ji Nuan arose from the responsibility of marriage and a moment’s passion. After all, for someone who is always calm and rational like you, I had thought you would consider all the gains and losses when stepping into marriage and love. But I never expected you would be so serious with her.”

Mo Jingshen did not speak. His gaze remained unperturbed.

An Shuyan tilted her head up, looking at him. “A person standing too high shouldn’t devote all his feelings. You’re a rational man, yet you choose to live like this?”

Mo Jingshen did not plan on speaking further with her. He held Ji Nuan’s hand and headed out.

The instant he moved passed her, An Shuyan abruptly asked, “Do you think the both of you will be able to be together forever?”

“We will.” Mo Jingshen turned back, returning her gaze firmly. His tone was mild, yet it heavily slammed against Ji Nuan’s heart.

“You’re sure you won’t divorce?”

“I’m sure.”

He did not have the slightest bit of hesitance or uncertainty; his tone was beyond calm, as though he was speaking of something natural.

The embarrassment on An Shuyan’s face could no longer be masked. She stared at him for a long moment before turning away to leave quickly. Her footsteps were slightly frantic.

It was as though that exchange did not impact Mo Jingshen at all. When An Shuyan was far away, he intertwined hands with Ji Nuan and walked out.

After walking for a short distance, Ji Nuan’s heart skipped a beat. Her thoughts were hazy as she suddenly tugged on their intertwined hands to hug him from the back.

Mo Jingshen’s footsteps immediately stopped.

He turned around to return her embrace. “What’s wrong?”

She tilted her head up in his arms. “Together forever without a divorce, ah. Right now, my appearance is still attractive, but when I become old and wrinkly, are you sure you won’t be tired of me?”

Mo Jingshen furrowed his brows. “When you’re old and wrinkly, I’ll be older than you.”

“You can’t say that for sure! They say a man in his forties is a flower blooming, but a woman in her forties is dried and flaky like soybean residue!” Her arms tightened around him. She joyfully refused to let go of him.
