Xia Tian looked at her and asked, “Since Ji Mengran has prepared to give you a blow, she shouldn’t be in such a hurry. But now the news about her suddenly became the hottest. Does her plan went wrong because she is hurrying or someone else is doing something behind the scenes?”
Someone else?
In Hai City, the one who was able to manipulate the media and made the news about Ji Mengran the hottest in such a short time could only be Mo Jingshen.
In fact, Xia Tian had guessed it, but she purposely asked Ji Nuan.
“Nuan Nuan, I think Mo Jingshen really wants to help you, but you turned off your cell phone and contacted no one…” Xia Tian looked at her. “That news gossip about your past marriage and the people scolding you are the women who are jealous of you. It’s a fact that you two were once married. It must work well if he can stand up to help you. You’re being too stubborn since you came back from England. I know you were deeply hurt when you left China three years ago, but if you and Mo Jingshen can reunite, don’t be stubborn. I think he still loves you. And you haven’t fallen for any other man except him, have you?”
Ji Nuan didn’t speak but just held her glass and looked down at the trending news on her phone.
Xia Tian came up to her and took her phone away, not letting her watch it. Ji Nuan had to look at her and Xia Tian raised her eyebrows and stared at her. “I’ll cover you and you shall wear a disguise. Your car is too eye-catching now and you can’t take a taxi either. Just drive my car to find Mo Jingshen.”
“When did I say I’m going to him? What can he do even if he shows up now?” Ji Nuan asked indifferently.
After coming back from the capital, Ji Nuan had been busy with her work and didn’t contact Mo Jingshen. Maybe she was trying to keep a distance from him with the excuse of work. However, Ji Nuan’s thinking had changed since she came back. Now even she herself didn’t know what she was thinking.
“No matter what, I trust Mo Jingshen,” Xia Tian said patiently, trying to persuade her. “Why haven’t you turned to him for help? Do you want to live like a rat passing the street ever since? Besides, it’s not only about you but this also concerns MN Group and your employees. The stock of the company has fallen a lot these two days. If it goes on like this, have you ever thought about the consequences?”
“Yes, I have, but that doesn’t mean there’s no other way.”
Unable to persuade this stubborn woman, Xia Tian rolled her eyes at her. “You know Mo Jingshen can help you out easily. Why do you refuse to ask for his help?”
Ji Nuan didn’t speak.
“I know you want to be independent, but now it’s not only about you. You’re the CEO of MN Group. You’re in charge of this company, so you’re responsible for solving this matter as soon as possible. There is a shortcut for you. Why do you have to take a detour?” Xia Tian said as she took Ji Nuan’s arm and dragged her into the bedroom.
“What for?”
“Help you wear a disguise! At least, you shouldn’t let anyone recognize you on the way!” With that, Xia Tian opened Ji Nuan’s wardrobe, pulled out a black hoodie, and tossed it to her. Then she found a pair of jeans and tossed them to her. In the end, she rummaged in the wardrobe and found an oversized pair of sunglasses.
Ji Nuan. “It’s late at night. You want me to wear sunglasses? Are you afraid that no one sees me sneaking around?”
Xia Tian: “…” She took the sunglasses back from Ji Nuan’s hand and pulled out a stack of surgical masks from her bag. “I caught a cold half a month ago. I was afraid of infecting my child, so I bought a mask at the drugstore. They are new and unused. Put them on later. People will think you have a cold and won’t suspect you.”
Ji Nuan: “…”
In the end, at Xia Tian’s insistence, Ji Nuan bundled herself up. She wore the hoodie hat, which was large enough to cover her cheeks. If she also put on a mask and walked with her head down, the media wouldn’t be able to recognize her no matter what. Xia Tian took a look at her and handed Ji Nuan her car key with satisfaction.
Ji Nuan looked at the car key in her hand and then at herself in the mirror, and gave a wry smile helplessly…

It was already 11:00 pm. Ji Nuan wasn’t sure where Mo Jingshen was. Xia Tian didn’t let her stay in her apartment in Yuehu Bay. She had no choice but to aimlessly drive around Hai City.
But in the end, the car stopped on the square opposite the Shine Group. She looked at the top floor and saw the lights on in the CEO’s office.
Ji Nuan parked the car.
As she got out of the car, she happened to see Shen Mu walk out of the company. Shen Mu was still here at this late hour.
Shen Mu spotted Ji Nuan as soon as he walked out. Although Ji Nuan bundled herself up, there were very few people on the square at such a time. Ji Nuan was standing next to the car, and if Shen Mu’s heart hadn’t been strong enough, he would have been scared by her.
1Shen Mu walked up to her after looking at her for a long time. Seeing her dressed like this, he looked at her eyes above her mask and tried to keep himself from laughing, asking, “Miss Ji?”
Ji Nuan was a bit embarrassed, but having been recognized, she could only turn to look at him. “Why are you still in the company so late?”
“I’m going back home, but CEO Mo will stay in the company tonight. He’s still in his office. Are you going upstairs to see him?” Shen Mu asked.
After a short pause, Ji Nuan said awkwardly, “I just passed by…”
Shen Mu nodded seriously. “En, I believe you passed by here at 11:00 pm, so Miss Ji, if you are sure you don’t want to see CEO Mo now, I’m leaving. There are security guards in the company. If you go in like this, I think you may be stopped outside and the security guards may even send you straight to the police station.”
Ji Nuan: “…”
“Are you sure you are not going to see CEO Mo?” Shen Mu asked with a smile.
Ji Nuan: “…”
“Then I’m leaving,” Shen Mu said, waved goodbye at her, and turned to leave.
“Shen Mu…”
Shen Mu stopped and looked back at her. Seeing her embarrassed, he couldn’t help smiling. “OK, since you are here, what are you hesitating about? Let me take you in.”
Although wearing a mask, Ji Nuan was still embarrassed, but she still closely followed Shen Mu in.
