Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?
chapter-150

Ji Nuan’s smiled slightly. “How can I stop people from saying things they wish to say? I admit that in the past, I was spoiled by my father. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have any redeeming qualities. As someone with status, you should be similarly aware that when you step into high society, the only thing visible is your reputation. They’ll blow up any of your flaws they can find, desperate to tear apart your radiance and crush it into the ground. Who cares about your actual character?”

Mo Shaoze closed his eyes and allowed Ji Nuan to massage his head as she pleased. He did not speak any further.

After ten minutes, Ji Nuan’s hand was slightly sore, but she maintained the same amount of strength. Although she was not a professional, she was still able to find all of the acupuncture spots; every squeeze was accurate.

“Earlier in the hot springs, you were inside with Jing Shen.” All of a sudden, Mo Shaoze spoke up with a cold and heavy voice.

Ji Nuan did not pause her movements as she replied openly, “Yes.”

“You sure are straightforward. Weren’t you hiding earlier?” he coldly reprimanded.

“I knew you would find out and had no intention of offending you. It’s just I didn’t wish for any more conflict and subconsciously chose to hide.” Ji Nuan saw his attitude was not as distant and took the opportunity to say. “You should be able to tell my marriage with Jing Shen is very harmonious. Our feelings for each other is strong as well. We were indeed together in the hot springs today, but isn’t that the way things should be?”

“Who gave you the courage to say that it’s ‘the way things should be’ to my face? I haven’t agreed to it; how can it be the way things should be!” Mo Shaoze still refused to put his face down, maintaining a poor speaking tone.

Ji Nuan smiled, gradually lightening the force she was applying as she said, “I know you have your own thoughts. An Shuyan and I are also truly different types of people. She’s used to living strictly by the book, while I’m much more of a laid-back person. I do things the way they should be done, and I say the things that should be said. Although the way I live is simpler, it doesn’t mean I’m blindly stupid.”

“There’s no use even if you use your words to make it sound better. Jing Shen is someone who similarly lives by the book. Since young, he has been the most favored heir in the Mo family.” Mo Shaoze coldly sneered.

Ji Nuan curved her lips. “From beginning to end, you’ve never made an actual comparison of An Shuyan and I. You’ve only insisted that she and Jing Shen belong to the same world.”

“Isn’t this something anyone can see for themselves? How can you possibly compare to Shu Yan?” The massage had helped to ease the pain and relax him. Yet, Mo Shaoze seemed ever more ready to have a face-off with her.

“Comparing An Shuyan’s merits to the so-called Ji Nuan you’ve heard from other people’s words, is that fair?” Ji Nuan’s attitude was calm. Her eyes contained a smile, and her tone was light.

“Indeed, it’s not fair.”

A voice clear as spring water suddenly came from the back door of the living room. Ji Nuan turned back to see Mo Jingshen had come out; she wondered how long he had been standing there and how much he had heard.

Hearing Mo Jingshen’s voice, Mo Shaoze abruptly looked back.

Mo Jingshen only wore a set of comfortable and soft loungewear. Although he did not appear as strict or as noble as he usually did, this made him resemble the laid-back image Ji Nuan had described much more closely.

It was clear that after realizing Ji Nuan had yet to return, he did not even put on outerwear before heading down to look for her.

“Ah, at the end of the day, if it wasn’t for Jing Shen’s support, would you be able to stand firmly?” When Mo Shaoze saw Mo Jingshen, his unrivaled authority was thoroughly provoked, and his face immediately turned cold.

Mo Jingshen unhurriedly stepped in, indifferently saying, “From start to finish, I’m the one who chose to protect her. I didn’t wish to see her undergo any difficulties or sufferings. I’m her husband. Isn’t supporting her what I should be doing?”

“Just for this woman, even though I’ve asked you to return to America to take over Shine countless times, you’ve never agreed. What future can you have by protecting your own Mo Corporation in Hai Cheng? The Mo family’s foundation is in Shine. Your future also belongs to Shine!” Mo Shaoze was angered by Mo Jingshen’s indifferent attitude and furiously scolded.

Mo Jingshen did not reply. His gaze was mild.

“What kind of attitude is that! Is that the attitude you should be showing to your father? Until now, I still don’t understand why you suddenly chose to leave America! You established your own business with your own power; you have the ability, fine, I won’t say anything! But you suddenly married Ji Nuan without even informing me, did you even take this father of yours into consideration!”

Mo Shaoze met Mo Jingshen’s indifferent expression, and in his anger, he picked up the teacup on the table and flung it at Mo Jingshen.

Almost instinctively, Ji Nuan ran over and stood in front of Mo Jingshen. The flung cup heavily smashed against her calf.

Mo Shaoze had thrown the cup with all of his might. In an instant, Ji Nuan’s leg had turned numb from the pain. He really did not hold back for his son.

Mo Jingshen did not move to avoid because Ji Nuan had rushed over too abruptly, the cup had smashed against her in a blink of an eye.

He abruptly pulled her over, frowning at her as he turned to scan her leg. Ji Nuan did not feel it was a big deal. She resisted the numbing pain to meet his gaze, shaking her head and softly saying, “It’s all right, it’s all right…”

“You sure dare to go and block!” Mo Shaoze narrowed his eyes to sneer coldly.

Mo Jingshen’s ink-colored eyes appeared to have been swept by a hurricane into the boundless darkness. His handsome face was cold as he glanced at Mo Shaoze, tugging Ji Nuan behind him as he spoke without much warmth. “You’re not clear as to why I left America?”

Mo Shaoze coldly met his gaze, clearly filled with rage yet still restraining his temper.

“Aside from An Shuyan, have you put in any less interference around me? That year when I was recuperating in Los Angeles after being heavily injured, what did you do?”

Mo Jingshen’s tone was heavy and cold. Ji Nuan had never seen his eyes this cold.

Mo Jingshen was once in Los Angeles, heavily injured?

Los Angeles?

She had been to that place as well. In the years she was studying abroad in America, the city that she had stayed in for the longest was Los Angeles.

It felt like a blurred image had flashed past her mind. Before she could grasp hold of it, her attention was grabbed by Mo Shaoze’s sudden angered words.

“What does that incident have to do with you staying in Hai Cheng?” Mo Shaoze raged.

Yet, the moment he finished speaking, Mo Shaoze suddenly fell into silence. His gaze flew to Ji Nuan, who was pressed behind Mo Jingshen. He coldly stared at her for a long while before narrowing his eyes. As though having thought of something, he coldly asked, “It’s her?”

Ji Nuan’s eyelids twitched.

What was her?

She was about to step out to ask but was pulled back by Mo Jingshen. He tightly gripped her wrist, preventing her from moving.
