Chapter 396: Mo Jingshen Was No Longer Gentle to Her

Ji Nuan sighed. Although she had slept soundly, her legs were still numb. She pounded gently on her leg and looked up at him. "I'll pack up my clothes soon. It's day now. Have you had another sleepless night? Is it because I occupied your lounge, or..."

"I'll find time to rest when I'm tired."

He words blocked out all her concern.

All right.

As he wished.

Ji Nuan simply got up, opened the wardrobe, and began to pack up her clothes without saying a word. She took off the clothes one by one and threw them on the bed behind her, saying as she did so, "I will ask someone to send me a suitcase later. You bought me so many clothes that I can't take them away without a suitcase."

He didn't speak.

Ji Nuan spent more than ten minutes to take out her clothes that occupied half of the wardrobe and then fixed her eyes on those shirts. She suddenly raised her hand, yanked out the shirts, and threw them on the bed.

Then she saw Mo Jingshen look at the shirts silently as if thinking of something.

"I've worn these shirts of yours, too. I've strutted around here more than once in your shirts, and now that I'm packing up, I'm taking them with me." Ji Nuan didn't look at him and also stared at the shirts.

The man was only silent for a moment before he turned his head and looked out of the window, saying indifferently, "As you wish."

Ji Nuan curled her lips, suddenly turned, pulled two suit jackets out of the wardrobe, and threw them on the bed. The man left the window and walked towards outside coldly, no longer looking at her. She said to his back, "I've worn all these coats, too!"

"En." The man grunted indifferently, pushed the door open, and went out.

What the hell!

How could he respond like this?!

She wanted to run out and say, "I've slept with you many times. Should I take you away too?"

But reason stopped her and told her that enough was enough. He was no longer gentle to her, and if she did something too irrational, he might do something she didn't want to see.

She called Xia Tian and asked her to pick her up with a suitcase.

She washed in the lounge, dried her hair, and changed her clothes. She walked out of the lounge when Shen Mu happened to enter the office. Seeing her, Shen Mu gave her a customary nod of greeting, and Ji Nuan also waved to him as if nothing had happened.

Mo Jingshen remained deadpan.

Ji Nuan glanced at his desk.

The porridge bowl had disappeared. Last night she called Shen Mu and asked him to send some food here, but now she didn't see any food. The plates must have been taken away.

She didn't know whether he had eaten or not, but the chance was slim.

...

Xia Tian promised to pick her up, but Xia Tian didn't tell her that she had settled a new cooperation plan with the BGY Group yesterday and would have a dinner party with their general manager Mr. Vinse tomorrow.

So, the next day afternoon, when Ji Nuan was about to leave work, Xia Tian suddenly said there was such a dinner party, and Ji Nuan was clueless.

"Didn't you say that the cooperation program is scheduled for next month? Why is it so sudden?"

"This order will be given to us anyway and that Mr. Vinse also wants to hit on you, so he gave us the order in advance, and we just sign the contract one month in advance." Xia Tian blinked at her. "You must go to this dinner tonight, and if you refuse, I'll resign!"

Ji Nuan: "..."

She and BGY cooperated a lot in the past, so she had a lot of contact with Mr. Vinse, but after learning that he kept gifting her flowers, she barely contacted him. She thought that he was a very sensible person and had known her attitude, so he no longer pestered her.

It turned out that instead of gifting her flowers, he tried to please her by granting her a cooperation agreement. It was not the first time she had encountered such an ardent pursuer, but she didn't feel comfortable at being forced to meet him.

He just wanted to make her owe him one.

Ji Nuan glared at Xia Tian, and the latter grinned at her, giving her a smug look as if saying, "I'm trying to find you a new boyfriend. You've got to go to the dinner party tonight, whether you want to or not."

—-

That night, Ji Nuan was dragged to the dinner party by Xia Tian. They had a meal together in a high-end hotel and talked about the cooperation project.

After dinner, they found a club nearby to drink and sing. Every time, it was the routine, having dinner together, drinking, playing cards, or going to some club. People in the business circle all knew and were familiar with those routines.

But many people simply used such occasions to promote feelings, business, and cooperation. The social occasions Ji Nuan participated in were very high end. If it were Mo Jingshen, everyone would treat him as respectfully as a Buddha, and no one would dare to make him drink or do anything he didn't like.

Just now, Ji Nuan didn't eat much because the food was too spicy, and she had an upset stomach. After arriving at the club, when everyone else was singing and dancing, Ji Nuan took a matcha cake and a glass of wine to fill the belly.

As soon as she took a bite, Mr. Vinse came straight to her and sat down beside her.

Ji Nuan quickly put down the glass and cake in her hand and said politely, "Sorry, I didn't eat much, so I'm a little hungry."

"You said you are hungry. Why do you apologize?" Mr. Vinse smiled and gazed at her. Unlike those women with heavy makeup that he usually saw, she looked beautiful and refreshing. Her simplicity and innocence made one wonder if you could smell the refreshing smell of shower gel and shampoo on her body while hugging her.

Seeing her as quiet as usual, he asked, "I heard that you used to be able to eat spicy food. What's wrong with you today? Do you have an upset stomach?"

"Yes, my stomach is a little upset today." Ji Nuan smiled politely to him and didn't explain much, secretly moving aside a bit and trying to keep a distance from him.

Not noticing her movement, Mr. Vinse didn't show any displeasure. He smiled, took the goblet she had just emptied, and poured her a glass of wine. "Miss Xia said you weren't a very good drinker. This red wine is very sweet and very weak. You can drink ten glasses of it without getting drunk. Feel free to drink it."
