“What I meant is that…”

Before Ji Nuan could even finish her words, Mo Jingshen’s burning kiss covered her lips once more, forcing her teeth apart.

“Uu, we’re at the company… company… it’s the office…” Ji Nuan wanted to speak but could not. It was as though each word was being swallowed and tortured by him.

Every area his lips touched felt more sensitive than ever, causing her to quiver uncontrollably. Her neck, collarbone, shoulders, chest as well as further down…

Ji Nuan was extremely sensitive, and her delicate body was teased until she was trembling.

His kisses carried the taste of hot passion, making it difficult for one to extricate themselves. He tasted her inch by inch, refusing to let go of even the slightest bit of sweetness.

“Even if it’s after work… there should still be people…”

“Uu… don’t… let’s go back first, all right…”

“No.” The man’s resolute voice landed on her lips. Seeing Ji Nuan’s alarmed and bashful expression, he said, “Weren’t you amazing last night? Now you’re shying away?”

Ji Nuan narrowed her eyes at him. “Mo Jingshen, don’t take lightly other’s kind intentions. The reason for yesterday is because… en…”

He suddenly kissed the most sensitive and soft area on her ear. She moaned as Mo Jingshen nibbled on it. Every word he huskily said revealed the lengths to which he had to endure previously. “Last night, if not for the surveillance cameras, I definitely would have rendered your incapable of speech.”

Ji Nuan: “…”

“How do you expect me to let go now?”

She clearly sensed the man could no longer be restrained as he pressed his burning lower body against hers. Ji Nuan was kissed until she was whimpering and unsure of where to place her hands.

In the next instant, Mo Jingshen tugged her hand off the sheets, pressing it on his lower body.

“Here, I’ll satisfy you now.” His voice was low and seductive.

She abruptly shivered and could not snatch her hand back no matter how much she tried. The heat in her hands caused her entire body to burn up. She shifted her bright red face away, refusing to look at him.

It was truly the first time she had stepped out of her own boundaries.

She could only blame herself for daring to speak carelessly last night. Now karma was upon her…

By now, her hands were both sore and tired. Yet, because of the motions of her palms, Mo Jingshen was currently peppering numbing kisses on her shoulders and face.

“I can’t anymore…” By now, the teasing was difficult to bear. She was just about to take her hands away when her wrist was grasped by the man. She kept trying to struggle out of it but was tightly held and pressed back.

“Mo Jingshen!” Ji Nuan appeared angry, but the words that left her lips were soft and hoarse.

“En.” The man sucked on her earlobe, speaking huskily, “Continue.”

Ji Nuan cried without tears. The heat on her face was about to surpass the heat in her palms. Similarly,… they were burning hot…

At this moment, the phone Mo Jingshen had casually tossed by the bedside suddenly vibrated.

“Go pick up your phone first,” Ji Nuan softly said. Her eyes were slightly dazed and red. Although she did not wish to cry, the shame of the act almost caused her to tear up.

Indeed, the evils we bring upon ourselves are the hardest to bear…

Why did she bring up her hands last night…

Mo Jingshen glanced at her before leaning toward the bedside table. He scanned the number displayed: it was An Shuyan.

He reached out to hang up the call before lowering his head to kiss Ji Nuan’s face once more. He chuckled huskily. “Are your hands tired?”

Ji Nuan’s eyes were fixed on the phone. “Whose call was it? You didn’t answer…”

Before she could finish her words, his phone began vibrating again. This time, she was clever and leaned up to scan the number displayed.

It was a string of unregistered numbers; numbers which were familiar to her.

It was actually An Shuyan.

“She has already called twice in a row. There should be something important, right?”

Mo Jingshen was expressionless as he said mildly, “Her resignation email has already been received by the company. Shen Mu will settle it. There’s no need to pay her any mind.”

Ji Nuan took the opportunity to shift her hand up, avoiding the man’s burning gaze as she took the initiative to hand his phone over. “Then I’m even more curious. She’s about to return to America and has also taken the initiative to resign, what could she possibly want to talk to you about?”

“Curious?” Mo Jingshen’s brows coldly knitted.

The vibration gradually stopped. Ten seconds later, it began once more.

Mo Jingshen saw Ji Nuan was still curious and sat up. At the same time, he picked her up, making her sit in his embrace. One hand was placed around her waist to prevent her escape, while the other was on the phone, pressing on the speaker to receive the call.

The moment the call connected, Mo Jingshen spoke mildly, “What is it?”

An Shuyan was quiet for a moment, before saying softly, “CEO Mo, I’ve already received the approval for my resignation earlier. The response speed was breakneck. Were you the one who sent it?”

The man was apathetic. “It was Shen Mu.”

On the other side of the call, it was quiet for a long while before An Shuyan’s soft voice was heard once more. “You don’t even plan on handling my resignation. The way you treat the people unrelated to you is truly ruthless and cold.”

Ji Nuan sat on his leg, watching his cold expression. In this instant, she finally felt that the Mo Jingshen that others spoke of, hard to approach, was real.

Mo Jingshen retained his apathy. “When you came, you came without my approval. When you leave, there’s no need for my approval either.”

An Shuyan tightened the grip around her phone.

What he meant was that her movements were unrelated to him. From start to finish, there was no need for her to leave the slightest mark in his place?

This was truly Mo Jingshen’s style.

An Shuyan regained her composure, saying, “According to Uncle Mo’s plans, after the details on the partnership with Mo Corporation has been settled, I’ll return with him to America next weekend. However, before that, I’ll be staying with my father in the Mo home for several days.”

Mo Jingshen did not speak, listening apathetically.

“Also… my father has already made plans to dissolve my engagement with the Wilson family…”

“‘That’s your business. There’s no need to tell me.” Mo Jingshen’s attitude was icy.

An Shuyan sighed softly. Although she knew he would not be willing to listen, after considering it, she still said the words on her mind. “Previously, when I chatted with the Ji family’s second daughter, she spoke about Ji Nuan’s changes over this period of time. From the details of it all, don’t you feel that Ji Nuan may truly be hiding some things from you?”

Ji Nuan listened by the side and furrowed her brows slightly, meeting Mo Jingshen’s gaze.

She smiled at him and suddenly leaned close to his ears, imitating An Shuyan’s speech to say, “Don’t you feel Ji Nuan may truly be hiding some things from you?”

Mo Jingshen chuckled silently, pinching the mischievous woman’s waist. The words he said on the phone were as cold as ever, “Those are my private matters. No one has the right to interfere or ask questions.”

Mo Jingshen cut the call off, tossing his phone aside.
