Chapter 514: Mo Jingshen, Don't You Have Clothes I Can Wear Here?
Car accident?
In a coma for several months before awakening?
Ji Nuan stared in disbelief at the man standing by her bedside with a heavy and cold expression. He softly caressed her brows, gently, as though it was truly the Mo Jingshen from those ten months standing by her bedside.
She could not hear the remainder of Ji Mengran's words. Ji Nuan watched as Mo Jingshen's face gradually turned blurry.
Although she could no longer see anything clearly, she realized the car accident Ji Mengran had mentioned had occurred so much earlier in her second life.
Mo Jingshen, who had promised to disappear from her world completely, had abruptly returned from America to Hai City. The moment he touched down, he rushed to the prison as though he was trying to prevent her death. It was as though he had already known of everything that would occur but was still unable to stop her from breathing her last breath.
He had done as he promised. He did not return for ten years, but he did not remarry in those ten years either. The moment he awoke from his coma, he rushed back to Hai City.
Could it be that the car accident had granted him the memories of her rebirth? And so, when Mo Jingshen awoke in this life, he also knew of everything?
It was the same event, except it occurred several years earlier.
Which meant, he truly knew of everything.
Her past encounters, her past death, and those ten years when they did not reunite because of her stubbornness and his promise.
He knew them all.
Her vision was filled with a bright light. She could not see Mo Jingshen, not could she see her cold body. She could only continue walking forward aimlessly.
She could hear Mo Jingshen speaking by her ear. He laid by her body, intertwining his fingers with her cold ones gently. She couldn't catch the words he said.
She wanted to move closer, but no matter how much she moved, the distance remained unchanged. She wanted to speak, but it felt as though there was a force tugging her away.
Afterward, there were countless strange dreams. They were grotesque and random, and they barely made any sense. There were dreams of her past life and dreams of her current life. The scene of her collapsing in prison was suddenly replaced by a scene of Su Zhilan dying instead. The scene of her standing helplessly on the streets when she was homeless was suddenly replaced by Ji Mengran's figure. This continued until everything covered up. It was as though the dilapidated and unsightly trajectory her life once took was replaced by these people who had instigated the suffering for her.

Amidst the chaos, Ji Nuan slept for a whole day.
Whenever it was time for her to eat or take her medicine, the man would dig her out from the sheets to feed her. Amidst her half-conscious state, she could not properly distinguish reality from her dreams. She only felt that the man feeding her was disturbing her from her dreams. In the beginning, she would knit her brows and throw a tantrum to refuse to eat. She wanted to continue sleeping, but after several struggles, she found that it was of no use. When she stubbornly refused to eat, the man would be even more stubborn than her. She wanted to sleep and was refusing to eat, but the one suffering from her own disobedience was still her.
In the end, her dreams could only be stopped when Ji Nuan was dug out from the sheets in her half-conscious state. She could only obediently open her mouth to eat, and obediently allow the man to apply the medicine on her wounds or the ice bag on her cheek.
On the second day, Ji Nuan finally regained consciousness. However, when she opened her eyes to the familiar yet unfamiliar place, she could only stare blankly as she wondered if she was still dreaming.
This...
Ao Lan International?
Coincidentally, when she woke up, the doctor came to check on her. Ji Nuan weakly closed her eyes and allowed the doctor to do as he pleased. Finally, when he left, she lay on the bed and stared at the man who had just sent the doctor away and was returning to the bedroom.
When she met Mo Jingshen's gaze, Ji Nuan finally snapped out of her dreams. Everything that had occurred before her sleep flashed past her mind.
She did not speak but Mo Jingshen spoke up, "You're awake? You've been asleep for nearly two days. You barely ate much in your half-conscious state. Come and eat now."
Ji Nuan did not have the chance to ask, didn't he bring her to a hotel near Coastal Road? Why did she wake up to find herself at Ao Lan International? The man left the bedroom. She watched the back view of his white dress shirt.
Ji Nuan: "..."
She sat on the bed without moving. A moment later, the man returned. Mo Jingshen did not allow her to eat in the bedroom. He said that aside from her head injury, the remainder of her wounds were not serious. After sleeping for two days, her body was quite weak and that she had to eat. He insisted she ate in the dining room.
Ji Nuan laid unmoving. "My head hurts. I don't have the strength."
The man glanced at her, approached, and tugged the sheets aside. "I'll carry you there."
Ji Nuan's complexion was still quite pale. As the sheets were tugged aside, she lowered her head to see that she was wearing the man's shirt. She had been showered, and her body still carried the faint fragrance of the shower gel. Her hair also felt clean and light. Aside from his shirt, she was not even wearing a pair of underwear.
And so, he had brought her back to Ao Lan International while she was unconscious, and had even helped her shower and changed her clothes?
Ji Nuan did not move, "I don't feel well, and I haven't woken up fully. I want to lay for a bit longer. Besides..." She wasn't wearing anything else.
No matter if those dreams were real, the two of them were divorced. It wasn't right to wear so little in front of him.
The woman watched him with clear eyes as she insisted on laying on the bed. It even appeared as though she was planning to pull the covers back over herself.
Right after she successfully covered herself once more, the man silently tugged the sheets away and tossed them aside. He picked the woman up in a princess carry and headed out. "Sleep after you've eaten. I've only been feeding you porridge for the past two days. You have to eat."
Ji Nuan stiffened the moment she was picked up, but she truly did not have much strength. She couldn't resist. She could only widen her eyes to say, "Mo Jingshen, don't you have any clothes I can wear here?"
The man calmly replied, "Three years ago, before you returned Ao Lan International's keys to me, didn't you take away every item you owned?"
Ji Nuan: "...this place is really Ao Lan International? Why did you bring me back here?"
The man was unperturbed. "The hotel isn't suited to care for your wounds."
Ji Nuan rolled her eyes. Was the hotel unsuited for caring for her wounds? What about kissing her when she was injured? At the time, if she hadn't lost her consciousness, he would really have transformed into a beast in that bathroom.
Thankfully, her wounds were not too serious. After being smashed by the gun handle, she did not lose her memories or become silly.
Ji Nuan could not help but reach up to touch her hair. She wondered if the doctor had shaved her hair away to make it easier to treat her and was concerned. When she came into contact with her hair, she set her heart at ease.
Mo Jingshen lowered his gaze to watch her subconscious movements. She had just woken up and was drowsy and dazed. She was stubbornly trying to maintain a distance between them, and her obstinance and lovable appearance was adorable. He could not help a smile.
