Mo Jingshen dragged her over and pressed her against the glass counter. He leaned over to kiss her, gently nibbling and sucking on her lips.

Due to his abrupt actions, Ji Nuan was kissed until her legs weakened. They could barely support her.

She was kissed until she was almost suffocated. The man's breath had his distinct, clear scent; it contained a warmth unique to him.

She wore his shirt, and its length was barely sufficient to cover her legs. He lifted his eyes slightly, and through the bathroom mirror behind her, he could see her legs tightly clasped together.

Mo Jingshen tightened his arms around her, pressing her onto him and deepening their kiss.

The bathroom space was small. Its temperature climbed, and the warm air rose. The sound of the tap running continued.

With one hand, he pressed the back of her head, and with the other, he held her slender waist. As he tugged her entire person forward, Ji Nuan was defenseless and could only lean on him clumsily.

Ji Nuan's hands were still covered in foam from the facial milk cleanser. She did not dare to push him, nor did she have the strength to do so. The sound of the water running was right by her ears, disturbing her. Her mind was in a state of disorder.

She suddenly thought to reach out to turn the tap off. In the end, she had only just moved, when Mo Jingshen ruthlessly caught her tongue with his teeth.

Ji Nuan instinctively struggled a little. She kept trying to back off to the side to avoid the kiss, moaning slightly.

He chuckled meanly, softly whispering by her ear. "Why are you hiding? Dressed like this, what are you trying to accomplish? En?"

While hiding, Ji Nuan softly huffed, "Last night, when I helped you shower, all my clothes were soaked. If I don't wear yours, what would I..."

Mo Jingshen chuckled. His pair of dark eyes were deep and playfully provoking. "There are no other people here. The air conditioning is also sufficiently warm. You can choose not to wear anything."

Ji Nuan glared at him. "I'm not an exhibitionist. Furthermore, I only wanted to wash my face. I wasn't planning on anything..."

He wantonly explored under her shirt with his hand. Ji Nuan's body instantly shrunk because of the intrusion of his fingers. She could only hear the man's teasing voice by her ears. "Not planning on anything? How do you explain what's happening here then?"

Ji Nuan's body abruptly stiffened.

Her face went bright red. She lowered her head to bury it in his neck as she softly whimpered, her body quivering.

Wave by wave, Mo Jingshen brought her up. Just as she could hardly hold on any further, he harshly pressed her down.

After being tormented for a long time, he chuckled hoarsely. "Let's go out?"

Ji Nuan: "... Put me down first!"

Mo Jingshen lips curved slightly. He did not let her go but carried her out like this. Ji Nuan buried her head in his neck. The sensation from where they were connected caused her toes to curl up.

She was placed down onto the bed and was immediately pressed under him.

Seeing her hair spread across the sheets, he embraced her and pressed a gentle kiss on her lips.

Ji Nuan panted softly but could not hold in a laugh. She raised a hand to arrange her hair back, complaining, "It's early in the morning, and you're already like this. Must you take half my life away before you can let me off?"

He casually pinched a few strands of her hair, smoothing it down against her collarbone. When Ji Nuan quivered from the sensation, he grunted and approached closely against her ears, softly chuckling. "I've been busy and going home past midnight for the past few days. Watching my own woman sleep, I could only hold her but could not eat. Can't you let me collect some interest?"

"You could have woken me up..."

He smiled. "Couldn't bear to."

"But now you can? I woke up from hunger in the morning, and you're still torturing me like this!"

Mo Jingshen made an "en" sound. "Tired? Then I'll slow down."

Ji Nuan: "..."

Slow down?

He was clearly changing tactics and unhurriedly and patiently torturing her!

Ji Nuan was tormented by his slow movements; her entire body going soft and numb. She suddenly raised her body cooperatively.

Mo Jingshen furrowed his brows and following her movements, he abruptly leaned back.

The more she took the initiative to approach, the more he leaned backward.

The back and forth went on for several times. Ji Nuan was provoked to the point of frustration. She raised a hand to push him. "Bastard! You're doing this on purpose!"

After seeing her delicate and charming expression fill up with anger, Mo Jingshen's lips curved. Suddenly, he deeply and decisively sent himself forward.

Ji Nuan, who was about to push him away, instantly moaned. She could no longer speak and only glared at him.

After half a day, she barely managed to catch her breath. She angrily and weakly complained, her voice hoarse, "I've really been duped by your appearance. You're really a beast—"

Mo Jingshen laughed softly. "You're dressed up like this in front of me. If I weren't provoked, I would be even less than a beast."

Ji Nuan: "..."

She actually had no words to retort!

—-

Two hours later, Ji Nuan finally clambered off the bed to eat. Mo Jingshen was still somewhat considerate as he pushed the trolley of food the hotel staff had delivered to her bedside. This way she could avoid the pain of getting off the bed.

After all, right now, her legs were very soft.

"In the future, no matter what happens, remember to clarify things with me first. Don't let your imagination run wild and become unhappy on your own. All right?" Mo Jingshen handed the cutlery over, but his expression was stern, no longer resembling the brute man from this morning.

Ji Nuan nibbled on the fragrant and sweet enoki mushroom. She raised her eyes to speak. "Yesterday, I didn't understand the situation clearly, so it was my fault. But you should have reminded me beforehand. Otherwise, no matter which woman experienced this, they definitely would not have been able to bear it either."

Mo Jingshen's brows rose. "You still have the strength to argue right and wrong with me?"

Ji Nuan: "I don't!"

He chuckled with a humming sound but did not tease her further, allowing her to eat in peace.

Finally, when Ji Nuan had her fill, Mo Jingshen's voice then leisurely spoke. His tone was mild. "Do you remember what you promised me last night?"

"En? What did I promise?" Ji Nuan could not remember what she had said. She raised her eyes in bewilderment.

Mo Jingshen's gaze became heavy, his expression was cold. "You promised not to meet Sheng Yihan anymore. Are you choosing to forget?"

She was quiet for a moment before asking, "Do you know a lot of things about me? For example, about before we married and even before that..."

Mo Jingshen did not answer. The way he looked at her was as though there were a lot of unspoken words. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking of.

After a moment, he raised a hand to pinch her face gently. "The promise you made has to be kept, en?"

"That I can do, but you haven't answered me. Do you know a lot about my past? But from what I can remember, before our marriage, I didn't interact much with the Mo family. Whenever Ji Mengran would mention Sheng Yihan in the past, you would always overlook it. You've also never mentioned it on the few occasions after. But from last night, it clearly shows that about my past, you..."

Mo Jingshen's hand paused against her lips. His warm finger gently caressed her as he unhurriedly said, "Those are not important. You only have to remember; you are Mrs. Mo."

Ji Nuan's heart tightened because of the warmth on her lips. "What kind of answer is that?"

"The answer is..." Mo Jingshen leaned down, moving closer to her lips. His heavy and deep eyes peered into hers. "You're fated only to be Mrs. Mo."
