Secretary An had just picked up her cup when Ji Nuan finished her words. Her grip around the stirring spoon, leaning against the mouth of the cup, subconsciously tightened.

“I’m not especially clear about what has happened between the two of you. What I know is mostly hearsay.” Although Secretary An still had a smile on her lips, it was slightly stiffer. “It seems like the relationship between you and CEO Mo is really good.”

“It’s all right.”Ji Nuan held her chin with one hand in embarrassment, smiling at her while fluttering her lashes. “Yesterday when you called, he had just left to shower. If you had called any earlier, we most likely would not have been able to receive that call…”

Ji Nuan spoke meaningfully with a red face. “And that day, when I was in Jing Shen’s office, originally we were in the middle of being intimate when Grandfather Mo suddenly came. I was embarrassed, so I squeezed under his desk to hide. I know you knew I was there that day, but you didn’t know where exactly I was hiding, right?”

Secretary An did not speak, her hands were tightly gripping the stirring spoon in her cup.

“If it wasn’t because of Grandfather Mo’s sudden appearance, Jing Shen might have carried me directly into the bedroom room next to the office… He is usually cold and difficult to interact with, but when it comes to the intimate matters between husband and wife, he is always so passionate that I can’t manage it…”

Secretary An’s face could no longer be simply described as stiff—her lips were barely curved; she was still smiling, but her smile was unnatural.

“Aiya, sorry, what have I been telling you here? Secretary An, you’re not married yet. These intimate issues between husband and wife are really not suitable for you. But a man who is too physically strong… causes one to have worries as well… normally, he won’t even let me have a good night’s sleep.”

Ji Nuan fluttered her lashes, her eyes full of emotion and sweetness as she smiled.

Although Ji Nuan did it on purpose, every word was truthful. Her every action, every tone, and every expression were not fake. Such bashful contentment could not be faked.

Blissful and embarrassed; it was truly an eyesore.

Secretary An slowly drank a mouthful of coffee. She then raised her eyes to smile at her, clearly having regained some calm. “I truly did not expect the both of you would be so happy. After all, CEO Mo used to…”

Ji Nuan smiled. “He used to what?”

“My apologies.” Secretary An subconsciously moved her hand to cover her lips acting as though she had spoken out of line. “After all, this is CEO Mo’s private matter. I shouldn’t say more. It seems like Mrs. Mo isn’t clear about his past. Therefore, the more I shouldn’t speak as I please.”

Ji Nuan nodded understandingly. “We’re all women here. We all have a curiosity we shouldn’t have. Your words have really tickled my curiosity.”

Just as Secretary An was about to open her mouth, Ji Nuan smiled mildly and interrupted her words. “But, our feelings began after our marriage and belongs to our marriage. As long as my man has not stepped out of line after marrying me and only loves me, it doesn’t matter if he used to have a childhood love, or if he used to have another name etched into his heart. Those belong to the past. After all, right now, he is mine. We’re not children. Who doesn’t have a past? Don’t you think so?”

Secretary An looked at Ji Nuan for a long while. For an instant, her lips pursed. It was almost half a day later before she finally forced out a smile. “Is that how you think?”

“If not? Earlier on, Secretary An ‘casually’ brought up those words, could it be that you weren’t thinking about what I was thinking?” Ji Nuan smiled, relaxed. “I’m very aware of it how good my husband is and how much other women admire him, and I’ve prepared my heart for it early on. But from the day we married, he became my, Ji Nuan’s, husband. Even if he used to have thousands or hundreds of women by his side, those are all failures who have been completely disqualified.”

An Shuyan was quiet for half a beat. She only stared at Ji Nuan’s expression, as though trying to see if her words reflected what she truly felt in her heart.

Ji Nuan’s fingers gently knocked on the table. From start to finish, she did not drink even a sip of coffee. Her tone was unhurried. “An outstanding person will naturally have people chasing by his side. Regardless of who it is from the past or whoever is waiting in the future to forcefully interfere as the third or fourth party in our relationship, in my eyes, they are all but inferior losers!”

Secretary An’s gaze faltered. She did not speak, raising the cup to her lips, but after pausing for a moment, she did not drink and placed it back down. Her gaze no longer met Ji Nuan’s.

“So, Secretary An who is outstanding regardless of family background, intelligence, or self-possession, most likely would not do such a low-level thing. Even if an elder with an amazing persuasive ability were supporting you, based on your values and principles, you would not allow yourself to have the title of a mistress stamped on your head. I didn’t say wrongly, did I, Secretary An?”

Finishing her words, Ji Nuan drank a sip of coffee. Her actions were composed. Even though she was full of attacks, she smiled lazily and did not allow others to discern any sense of agitation or threat. She was graceful, and it seemed like she was a bystander, coldly looking at all the fishes struggling in the muddy waters of love.

“It’s about time I head to the business lounge. Let’s have coffee again another time.” Secretary An suddenly stood up, placing two red notes on the table. She picked up her bag and politely nodded to Ji Nuan, turning around to leave.

“All right, let’s meet another day.” Ji Nuan raised a hand to her like a lazy little kitten waving her paw.

Before Secretary An walked far away, Ji Nuan picked up Mo Jingshen’s phone call that came at the right moment. She sweetly answered, “Hello, Hubby? En, I met Secretary An outside the company entrance earlier. She treated me to coffee~.”

Secretary An’s footsteps increased in speed, her silhouette disappearing out of the café.

“Your sound like a cat who has successfully stolen a fish. What did you talk about?” Mo Jingshen could easily hear Ji Nuan’s mood from her voice.

Ji Nuan glanced out from the corner of her eye at Secretary An who stood outside the window. Indeed, before getting on the car, Secretary An glanced back once more. When she saw that Ji Nuan was still on the phone, she expressionlessly entered her car.

It was only when Secretary An drove away that Ji Nuan smiled mildly. “What else can two women talk about? Especially with a woman with strong ideas about my hubby.”

“En? So?”

“So, I might have been too fierce and scared your outstanding and endearing Secretary An into running away.” Ji Nuan held the phone, speaking slightly irrelevant words as she touched the cup of coffee that had turned cold.

The sound of the man’s low chuckle came through the phone. “Why? Can your ability to bite people be used on others as well?”

Ji Nuan smiled while her hands caressed the cup. She asked semi-casually, “Actually, Secretary An is not bad. It can be said that she is an almost perfect choice. Since you’ve already known each other for many years, and your father had already intended for her to be yours, why didn’t you consider marrying her?”
