“Thank you, Xiao Hu.” Ji Nuan immediately picked up the disposable cup of warm water and took a sip.
Not only did she suffer from discomfort during her period, but her body would also give her some difficulties in the days preceding it. Having warm water to sip on was indeed a good thing.
“You’re welcome. CEO Mo was the one who instructed me to bring it.” Xiao Hu noticed that Ji Nuan had already finished half of the water and asked, “Would you like more warm water? I’ll go bring you another cup.”
Ji Nuan did not speak when she placed her cup down. She only took a glance at Mo Jingshen who sat across from her.
Xiao Hu did not wait for her to speak up. He left to bring her more water. Ji Nuan struggled internally for a while but still received it. She finished another cup.
Finally, her stomach felt better.
There was barely any time left to boarding when they entered the departure lounge. After finishing two cups of water, the announcement for them to board the plane rang through the lounge.
Ji Nuan stood up to hold her luggage, but Mo Jingshen was one step ahead of her. He avoided her hands. “Follow me obediently.”
As he spoke, he held her luggage and headed out.
Xiao Hu then finally noticed that CEO Mo appeared to be especially attentive to this MN Group’s CEO Ji. As he followed behind Ji Nuan, he couldn’t help but direct his gaze toward her face for a few extra looks.
Ji Nuan pretended not to have noticed Xiao Hu’s curious expression. She had known that if it wasn’t Shen Mu following by his side, this would definitely happen. There was nothing much to explain. She could only stay silent as she followed Mo Jingshen out.
Xiao Hu completely did not comprehend the situation. He watched as his great Boss walked ahead with the luggage. Yet, for some reason, CEO Ji appeared to be the one in charge. He thought silently in his mind that the treatment CEO Ji was receiving… it was unlikely that anyone else would have this privilege.
…
When they arrived, they found that autumn had already begun in Jing City. Ji Nuan planned to open her luggage to retrieve a coat, and stopped by the restroom to do so.
After entering the restroom and putting on her coat, her phone rang. The moment she answered, she heard the soft cry of a young baby going, “Ah, ah.”
Ji Nuan was startled at first. She listened for a moment before appearing to recall something. She lowered her head to check the displayed caller name. As expected, it was a call from Xia Tian.
And so, these noises were likely from Xia Tian’s little baby.
Ji Nuan couldn’t help a chuckle. “Little precious one, what did you wish to tell Auntie? En? You want to have the best quality milk powder? Oh, oh, and the most beautiful toys? When Auntie is back from her business trip, I’ll buy you toys and small car figurines, all right? Did you wet your bed recently? No? That is amazing! You’re so well-behaved…”
Before she could finish her words, Xia Tian picked up the phone: “I was only letting my son greet you. You sure are full of drama. You managed to ‘discuss’ so much with him in this short while. Let me tell you, my son is still young. He can’t say a single word. Don’t spoil him into having the bad habit of demanding everything he wants from you.”
Ji Nuan was immediately joyful. “But I heard the ‘ah, ah’ he was saying to me. He was clearly acting spoiled.”
“My son is indeed great at acting spoiled. It’s only been two months and he is already calling ‘Mama’!”
“Stop daydreaming over there. How can a two-month-old possibly call for ‘Mama.’ I clearly heard him making ‘ah, ah’ sounds earlier. If he shouts for ‘Mama’ now, there’s an eighty-percent chance that you gave birth to a prodigy.” Ji Nuan couldn’t resist a chuckle.
“Tsk, naturally, my son will be a prodigy. ‘Ah, ah’ sounds exactly like ‘Mama.’ Just like how you can round four up to be five, I’ll take it that he has learned to call for ‘Mama,’” Xia Tian chuckled while speaking. “Where are you now? Why haven’t you been coming by to help hold my child?”
“On a business trip. I just arrived in Jing City.”
“Why did you run off to Jing City? Who are you with? Are you alone?”
Ji Nuan faltered. She thought for a moment and did not bring up Mo Jingshen. Based on Xia Tian’s temper, and considering that she’s been rather idle at home with her child recently, Ji Nuan felt that she would definitely grill her with all sorts of questions.
“En, I came here for a meeting. I’ll be back in a couple of days. Ask your little precious one to wait for me to bring toys and car figurines back for him.”
Xia Tian overheard the airport announcement through the phone and did not ask her any further: “All right. You go busy yourself at Jing City. I’ll hang up now.”
“Let me chat with the little one first.”
The moment Ji Nuan spoke, she heard the phone being shifted to Xia Tian’s little baby’s side. The little one immediately made adorable and sweet ‘ah, ah, ah’ cries.
Ji Nuan smiled, her heart immediately softening. She spoke sweetly into the phone: “Dearest one, I love you~.”
Since Ji Nuan was taking a long time in the restroom, Mo Jingshen decided to wait for her outside of the restroom. The moment he came near, he heard her words.
The man’s eyelids twitched a little, his heart jumping abruptly.
Ji Nuan hung up, stepping out of the restroom only to be caught off guard by the man. Her heart skipped a beat. Although she wasn’t shocked, she was still slightly startled. She wanted to ask why he was here, but the words changed the moment they left her lips. “CEO Mo actually has the habit of listening outside the female restroom?”
“You’ve been in there for thirty minutes. I originally planned to send someone in, but I heard you on the phone and didn’t want to interrupt.”
Ji Nuan lowered her head to place her phone in her bag. She then adjusted the coat she had just put on. “Are we heading to the meeting venue or to the hotel? How is the schedule for the next few days arranged?”
Mo Jingshen did not answer. He received the luggage she had tugged and placed his hand on the handle. “Earlier, who were you speaking to on the phone?”
Ji Nuan abruptly shifted her eyes onto him, a hint of clever laughter disrupting the composure in her gaze. However, the man clearly saw all of this.
She chuckled. “A little handsome boy. The type no one would be able to resist holding and kissing. Earlier, I promised to buy him a car once I return from Jing City.”
She originally thought that her words would be able to mislead him for a while. However, after staring at her for a long while, the man’s lips curved up. He spoke with a lazy and low tone: “I haven’t done anything for Xia Tian’s child since his birth. Leave the car to me, en? Does he want a real car or a toy car? He can have as much as he wants.”
“…”
Mo Jingshen lowered his head and couldn’t resist a chuckle.
He held her luggage and stepped toward the airport exit.
Ji Nuan watched the man’s back view and felt her gums itching. She couldn’t resist gritting her teeth.
Since he already saw through it, why did he still ask?
Did he do it intentionally?!
