Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?
chapter-91

The next morning, Ji Nuan did not drive her own car but sat on Mo Jingshen’s car to head to the studio.

She carelessly scanned through the car for several seconds. In the end, she found a gold round tube of lipstick in the barely noticeable gap between the leather seats.

Ji Nuan reached over and picked up the lipstick. She opened and looked at it briefly, raising her brows and chuckling lightly.

When Mo Jingshen saw the lipstick, he glanced at it indifferently. His tone was just like last night. “Sure you don’t want to change cars?”

“Not changing,” Ji Nuan curved her lips, playing with the lipstick in her hands. “What bothers me is not the car. Her motive is also not to retrieve this lipstick.”

Mo Jingshen’s thin lips curved. Although this little woman said that she believed in him and acted as though she had thought things through, her words still carried the sour scent of jealousy.

In the afternoon, as Secretary An drove out of the company, she saw Ji Nuan walking past the plaza in front of the company with a small gift bag in her hands.

“Mrs. Mo?” Secretary An stopped the car by her side, politely nodding and smiling toward her.

Ji Nuan looked at her and took a quick glance at her car. “Secretary An’s car sure was fixed quickly. It broke down yesterday and can already be driven today?”

Secretary An smiled lightly and replied, “Last night I called for a mechanic to come over. They are really efficient. When I came to work in the morning, I saw that they had already sent the repaired car back.”

“Not bad, it was raining so heavily last evening, and it was outside of work hours as well. Their efficiency is godly fast. I should visit this auto repair shop in the future.”

Ji Nuan said and handed over the delicate gift bag in her hands.

Secretary An was surprised. “This is?”

“Last night, your lipstick was really dropped on Jing Shen’s car. I discovered it this morning.” Ji Nuan smiled as though it did not bother her at all. “Unfortunately, they only found it when I sent the car to be washed. When the worker was cleaning the inside of the car, he accidentally soaked your lipstick. I felt that it was such a pity. Coincidentally, there wasn’t much I had to do today, so I went to buy the same brand of lipstick before coming, here, take it.”

“Mrs. Mo, you really didn’t have to. It’s only a lipstick; there was no need to buy me a new one. Not to mention, I was the one that carelessly left it in CEO Mo’s car.” Secretary An’s smile was polite and distant. She got off the car, considerately and politely standing to speak with Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan noticed this detail and found that Secretary An was indeed very good at conducting herself. She indifferently curved her lips, calmly saying, “Last night, it was already past midnight, yet you specially brought it up over the phone. I thought this lipstick was important to you. Since I’ve already bought it, Secretary An should just take it. Anyway, this color doesn’t suit me.”

Ji Nuan threw the small gift bag containing the lipstick through the car window and into the car seat.

Secretary An could not reject it and could only smile toward Ji Nuan. “In that case, I have to drop by a business lounge to collect something in the afternoon. I’m not sure if there’ll be any good cafés along the way. Mrs. Mo, do you want to have a cup of coffee with me? I’ll treat you as thanks for the lipstick.”

“You’ve really asked the right person. I know of several good cafés.” Ji Nuan smiled happily and did not reject her invitation.

Secretary An nodded, smiling as she walked around the car. While opening the door, she said, “Then get on the car; let’s go for a coffee.”

“It’s not good to reject kindness, so I shan’t stand on hospitality.” Ji Nuan smiled and got on the car.

The two women sat in the car. On their way, they discussed small matters. It was as though they were intentionally avoiding talking about Mo Jingshen. They only discussed America’s Shine and the daily news in the country. They laughed while chatting as if they were both enjoying the conversation.

When they arrived at a street near the business lounge, the two of them walked into a graceful and quiet café.

Ji Nuan casually ordered a mocha, and Secretary An followed.

“Secretary An enjoys mocha as well?”

“It’s all right. I grew up in America and can’t really take bitter coffee. But I enjoy mocha a lot.”

“Although Secretary An’s choice of lipstick differs from mine, the brand is the same. The coffee we like is the same as well. It seems like our tastes are rather similar?” Ji Nuan casually smiled. “I just don’t know if we have the same taste when it comes to men?”

Hearing her words, Secretary An was quiet for a moment, before smiling slightly. “When Mrs. Mo came to look for me today, you had wanted to speak to me, didn’t you?”

Ji Nuan furrowed her brows. “You say, what do I want to talk to you about?”

“Of course, it’s about CEO Mo.” Secretary An met Ji Nuan’s gaze straight on calmly. “Mrs. Mo is a smart person. It’s easy to speak to a smart person, so there is no need for me to act innocent. Coming here from America, my goal is simple and direct. Just like how Mrs. Mo’s goal for looking for me is simple and direct.”

“So, Secretary An’s lipstick was truly just an act? For the sake of luring me to seek you out?” Ji Nuan chuckled.

Secretary An curved her lips imperceptibly. “Uncle Mo does not look well upon your marriage with CEO Mo. Grandfather Mo has become confused with old age. Even the so-called family benefits have to be considered from a distance away. Although the Ji family once prospered in Hai Cheng, Ji Corporation’s standards have constantly been falling in all areas. This political marriage has no benefits for the Mo family whatsoever. It can barely be considered a suitable match, but only barely after all.”

Speaking until here, Secretary An met Ji Nuan’s calm eyes once more. “Forgive my direct words, but Mrs. Mo, your actions both before and after the wedding cannot be considered those of a good wife. Besides, I heard your relationship with CEO Mo was not very harmonious several months ago. You wanted a divorce very much.”

Ji Nuan lightly chuckled.

It was truly not out of expectation. Secretary An’s call yesterday was only to look for an opportunity to “discuss.”

“Since Secretary An speaks so directly, then I shall not hide it from you.” Ji Nuan held her chin with one hand, fluttering her lashes at her as she smiled. “At the beginning, I could not adjust to married life. I’m sure you know how Jing Shen is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Back then, I didn’t really know him well, so I kept wanting to regain my singlehood and my freedom.”

Secretary An looked at Ji Nuan, her eyes carrying several hints of doubt and consideration.

“But ever since our marriage, he has constantly been indulging my small outbursts of temper. In the past, I was immature about it, but his passion coaxed me gradually.” Ji Nuan appeared slightly embarrassed, yet her eyes were filled with sweetness. “When he becomes passionate, it’s impossible to fend him off~.”
