Yet, no matter how she tried to avoid it, no matter how she whined as though begging to be spared, Mo Jingshen had no plans of letting her off easily tonight.

His body pressed against her tightly. When he recalled how Ji Nuan had worn the dress Sheng Yihan had prepared for her tonight, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly flipped her around.

Ji Nuan's back faced him...

She felt his kiss land on that sensitive patch of skin on the back of her neck once more. She could not help but twist her lower body, causing the man behind her to grunt. He began to nibble on the back of her neck intentionally with varying force. The teasing would be the death of her.

Just as Ji Nuan began to sob, he intruded unhesitatingly from behind.

Ji Nuan immediately cried out.

As she trembled uncontrollably, he leaned down against her ear. "You and that Sheng one, don't meet him anymore in the future, en?"

"Meet... no... he is still a doc... ah..."

Ji Nuan was stimulated and could not finish her words.

"What?" After hearing her first word, Mo Jingshen's actions became harsh.

Ji Nuan was bullied and could hardly think clearly. She hurried to said, "Won't meet... won't meet... won't ever meet again... I never planned to do anything with him!"

Mo Jingshen was no longer thinking of letting her off. He let her explain herself as she wished, let her whine, cry, and scream as she pleased without slowing down.

——

The curtains by the window were half opened and light entered from the back. The man's upper body was bare, and his silhouette was very smooth.

The moment Ji Nuan opened her eyes, this was the scene that entered her vision.

After being pressed down and pestered for the entire night, she was tired and spent. She did not feel like moving at all, even if it was no longer morning. Anyway, her phone was not with her, and Mo Jingshen's phone could not be used either. It was so rare for them to have such a quiet and uninterrupted moment that she did not wish to ruin it.

But she felt that last night, because of her jealousy, aside from dissatisfaction, he was also especially pleased?

She did not notice it initially. After being pushed and pressed down on the bed, her head almost hitting against the headboard, she occasionally heard from his threats and promises just a small hint of... satisfaction?

In the past, she was always demanding for divorce. Then, she suddenly changed, and things began to shift in the right direction between the two of them step by step. But she was always very calm and had never committed extreme actions.

Last night...

He must have been beyond pleased, right?

Because she was really jealous.

Ji Nuan used her eyes to trace the handsome face of the man in deep sleep next to her. When Mo Jingshen slept, there was a hint of closeness revealed in the distance left by his good looks and silence. In particular, the cold atmosphere that put a thousand miles of distance between him and others, and could freeze people to the point where their guts trembled, was completely gone right now.

Like some sort of expensive and noble cat, he revealed that little bit of gentleness when he fell asleep, prompting others to approach.

Ji Nuan had gently turned around in his embrace, staring at him just like this. Looking at his eyelids quietly closed, she blinked and raised a hand, gently tracing out the man's delicate features.

Mo Jingshen's handsome face was turned away from the moonlight coming from the windows. Under the shadows, it was warm and dark. Ji Nuan's finger carefully and slowly smoothed over his pleasant brows. She then ran over his shut eyes and his high nose bridge...

Her finger softly landed on his lips. The man's light-colored lips had a small mark left behind from the bite she gave him yesterday. It was very small and could only be seen from such a close distance.

It was not her fault. Who dared him to be so fierce last night. Even when she cried and begged to be spared, it did not work. She could then only bite him in anger.

She had not only bitten him. Ji Nuan's gaze moved toward his back. Last night, she had also harshly scratched his back several times.

"Done staring?" All of a sudden, the man's low and mild voice rang against her finger.

Mo Jingshen huskily asked but did not open his eyes. Ji Nuan was startled and swiftly retracted her finger. He reached out to bring the similarly bare Ji Nuan into his embrace while his other arm around her waist tightened.

"What time is it?" He held her; his voice husky from the drowsiness. It was ridiculously sexy.

Ji Nuan glanced outside the window. "Not sure. Looking at the color of the sky, it should be past six."

His palm pressed against her back, gently patting. "You ate so little last night. Hungry?"

Ji Nuan wanted to say that after so much of her energy was consumed last night, she was indeed hungry. But after being held this way, she would rather starve than get up from the bed.

"No, I'm still tired." She buried her head in his embrace, softly whining as though asking to be coaxed.

The man's soft chuckle came from the top of her head. His hand gently stroked the back of her head. "Then go back to sleep."

—-

This time, Ji Nuan did not sleep as comfortably. This was most likely because Mo Jingshen did not continue sleeping, and she was the only one on the bed.

Barely an hour later, she woke up again.

She sat up and saw Mo Jingshen wearing a dark brown bathrobe. He stood in front of the bay window, quietly standing tall.

She was just about to move the blankets aside and climb off the bed when she recalled that all her clothing had been soaked last night. He left them on the ground and they were probably still in a bundle there right now. There was no way they could be worn again.

Her gaze moved, and she saw Mo Jingshen's shirt on the sofa not too far away.

She quietly reached over, picking up the shirt. Mo Jingshen noticed her movements. The moment he turned back, he saw the little woman wearing his shirt. Her legs were completely bare and exposed—long legs as smooth and white as porcelain. Occasionally, he could see under the shirt with her movements.

Ji Nuan did not realize he had already noticed that she was awake. She relaxed and walked into the bathroom, quietly closing the door. She picked up the clothes on the floor and placed them on the glass counter. She then washed her face.

The effects of all the alcohol from last night had finally cleared. While thinking about what had happened at the evening party last night, Ji Nuan picked up the milk face cleanser provided by the hotel and gently rubbed some between her hands.

The bathroom door was made of a half-transparent frosted glass. A dark silhouette approached the door, and Ji Nuan paused in her movement. The moment she raised her head, the bathroom door was opened. Mo Jingshen lowered his eyes slightly to look at her. His expression was unhurried as he completely blocked the bathroom door.

The hotel's bathroom was not as large as the one at home. With his height, the door appeared much smaller.

He was clearly only blocking the door, yet Ji Nuan felt that his brows carried some of the emotions from last night that had yet to dissipate.

Especially that clear and mild expression of Mo Jingshen's. Like fire, it almost burned the shirt off of her body.

Ji Nuan paused for a moment, subconsciously bringing her legs closer together. "Do you need the bathroom? I'll be done right after washing my face..."

She raised her hand full of foam. "I'll be done immediately!"

Mo Jingshen focused on her. He unhurriedly and huskily made an "en" sound, but his legs had already taken two steps in.
