“You should sleep soon. I’ll head to the study.” Ji Nuan reached for the laptop that had fallen on the carpet.

Mo Jingshen placed her on the bed, leaning on her to press a kiss on her swollen lips.

“Tired?” He kissed her.

Ji Nuan nodded seriously.

She was exhausted. She was about to hug his leg to scream for him to spare her life.

She really could not deal with this man’s energy.

His lowered his head to kiss her ear before leaning back to lay by her side. He brought her into his embrace with a stretch of his arm, his husky voice and warm breath landing by her ear. “Sleep with me, en?”

Ji Nuan obediently placed her laptop down and did not insist on heading to the study any further. She buried her head in his chest, hugging him with both her hands. She then gently and softly said, “All right.”

——

The next day.

By the time Ji Nuan got off the bed, it was already nine in the morning.

After washing up, she changed her clothes and went downstairs. As she watched Auntie Chen busy herself with moving plates of dishes onto the dining table, she felt it had been a long time since she experienced this peace and quiet.

Ji Nuan headed straight to the studio after finishing her breakfast. She had only just left the villa when she abruptly saw a woman, who was around 5’6 tall with a bob haircut, standing right by her car in the Yu Garden.

Ji Nuan subconsciously took a step back, turning around to ask Auntie Chen who was inside, “Who is this? Can anybody enter the Yu Garden?”

Auntie Chen stepped out to look and answered with a smile, “Madam, Mr. Mo was the one who let her in. He said to have her follow you from now on.”

“Ah? Follow me?”

Ji Nuan was startled for a moment before returning to herself. She turned back to look at the tall and skinny young woman with short hair.

“Mrs. Mo, my name is Feng Ling. I’ve been trained for eight years in the XI Training Center in America. From today onward, I’ll be your private bodyguard.” She said under Ji Nuan’s astonished and suspicious gaze. The moment she finished her words, she smoothly opened the car door and signaled for Ji Nuan to climb in with a ‘please’ gesture.

It appeared like she really had some training.

Ji Nuan secretly thought, the person Mo Jingshen wanted to bring her to meet, was this person? A female bodyguard?

“Were you really sent here by Mo Jingshen?” Ji Nuan asked.

She had only seen male bodyguards; this was her first time seeing a female bodyguard…

Feng Ling respectfully and solemnly replied, “That’s right, Mrs. Mo.”

Ji Nuan: “…”

Ji Nuan stared at her for half a day, but because she was arranged by Mo Jingshen, there was not much she could suspect. She opened the driver’s door and was about to climb on when Feng Ling suddenly said, “Mrs. Mo, you should sit here. I’ll drive you.”

“You’ll drive?”

“That’s right. In the future, regardless of whether you are driving or taking someone else’s car, I must follow by your side. The car should be driven by me as well. This way, I can ensure your safety.”

“Al-all right…”

This bodyguard was too solemn and too rigid. Ji Nuan suspected she was complying with orders and did not make things difficult for her, walking over to step in through the door already open. She sat on the front passenger seat.

After climbing on, she informed the bodyguard where she was headed and picked up her phone to call Mo Jingshen.

After the call was connected, Mo Jingshen pointed out the intentions of her call. “What is it? Asking about the bodyguard?”

“The person that you wanted me to meet previously was the bodyguard you had arranged? This person… called Feng Ling?” Ji Nuan turned to eye Feng Ling who was driving. The other party was completely unaffected by her phone call as she silently drove.

“Nan Heng is the senior officer at America’s XI Training Center. Feng Ling is one of the best performing guards there. Initially, I had planned for Nan Heng to introduce her.” Mo Jingshen calmly explained. “But this morning, Nan Heng had to rush back to America for some urgent matters. I didn’t want to delay any more time, so she was directly sent to Yu Garden to meet you.”

Ji Nuan did not have much of an impression of Nan Heng, but she knew the two who were like Mo Jingshen’s brothers were firstly Qin Siting, who used to be famous in Hai Cheng, and Nan Heng who rose to fame in America. She was not very clear about Nan Heng’s background but knew that he was rather close to Mo Jingshen. In her vague impression, he was involved in the weapons and ammunition business and was the blood-thirsty type.

“From today onward, Feng Ling will be your private bodyguard. Her skills are not bad, and she’s quiet and taciturn. She won’t disturb you. She’ll only stay by your side when she needs to, and she won’t make you uncomfortable.”

Ji Nuan said a few words, and after hanging up, she turned back to survey the diligent bodyguard. After thinking, she sent Mo Jingshen a message.

[You selected so carefully and chose a female bodyguard. Her character is so rigid and stern. I don’t even know what to say to her.]

Mo Jingshen replied: [You want me to send a male bodyguard to chat with you?]

Ji Nuan: [Uh-huh, this can be considered!]

Mo Jingshen: [Ah, don’t even think about it.]

Ji Nuan: “…”

—-

After arriving at the Jin Lin Building where the studio was located, Feng Ling parked the car and really disappeared right before her eyes.

She was truly… well-trained…

Ji Nuan entered the studio. Ever since they received Mo Corporation’s investment, several things needed to be rushed. Ji Nuan did not forget she was still carrying two hundred million US dollars’ worth of debt.

“Boss!” Xiao Ba had given Ji Nuan a call early in the morning. When she saw Ji Nuan had arrived, she rushed to hand her the new finance report. “Previously, Supervisor Xu really tampered with the finance report. Yesterday, I went to the finance department to audit again. This was made according to the company’s existing liquid funds. Just like the budget you had expected, there’s not a single cent missing!”

Ji Nuan received it, scanning through it quickly before furrowing her brows at Xiao Ba. “You stayed past work hours yesterday to complete it yourself?”

Xiao Ba nodded her head with an embarrassed yet wanting to be praised expression. “En! Right now, many of the people in the studio aren’t too professional. The finance department is also uncooperative. I wasn’t sure if I could, so I tried last night.”

Who would have thought this silly assistant actually had a diligent, serious heart.

Ji Nuan smiled. “Begin hiring new people in the next few days. Let the remaining people in the Human Resource Department come to my office.”

“All right! Boss!” Xiao Ba turned to leave with a face full of excitement.

Ji Nuan suddenly reached out to grab her collar, asking, “Why are you so excited?”

Xiao Ba turned back, pushing up her glasses as she said, grinning, “Because right now our studio has an investment of two hundred million US dollars, ah! All the construction work can resume, and with such a big mountain like Mo Corporation to lean on, we definitely can become the biggest property company in Hai Cheng! Then, I’ll be the company’s most senior member! How could I not be excited!”

Ji Nuan: “…”

Do you know that right now, your boss is shouldering an enormous debt of two hundred million dollars and I owe it to that big mountain you speak of!
