The Warm Breeze Is Not As Warm As You Chapter 105

Ji Nuan abruptly took a step back, an expression of, 'I want to maintain a distance from you,' on her face . Her entire body was wary like that of a hedgehog . She attempted to take another step back .

Mo Jingshen narrowed his eyes at her . “You dare to try taking another step back?”

Ji Nuan did not speak . She turned to press against the elevator wall . She wanted to drink, so she drank . Yet, after becoming intoxicated, she actually turned into a punching bag .

After stepping out of the elevator and entering the room, Ji Nuan immediately headed straight in . She maintained her determination to stay away from Mo Jingshen .

Mo Jingshen raised a hand to ma.s.sage his brows . He then looked at her expression . His black pupils focused on her as he unhurriedly removed his cufflinks . He breathed . “You're drunk, so I won't bicker with you . Come here . ”

Ji Nuan stood by the windows warily . She leaned against the window as though gathering some sense of security .

“I'm not drunk!” She clarified loudly .

“I asked you to come . ” Mo Jingshen's heavy voice cut her off .

Ji Nuan leaned against the curtains, tightly gripping the fabric as she lowered her gaze . She softly emphasized, “I said I'm not drunk, so I'm not drunk . Mo Jingshen, you can't take advantage of the fact that my temper is good to stop me from looking for a place to be quiet for a while . Especially since…”

“Your temper is good?” Mo Jingshen smiled faintly .

Ji Nuan: “…”

Was her temper not good enough right now?

“You're not drunk?” He sneered .

Ji Nuan: “…”

She did not care; anyway, she was not drunk!

“Good, since you're not drunk, let's have a good discussion about what happened tonight . ” Mo Jingshen lowly and coldly said as he approached .

Ji Nuan saw that he was approaching and subconsciously took a step back, pressing against the window behind her .

“If you take another step back, those improperly locked windows will open . This is the eighteenth floor . You want to fall down?” he spat out these words one by one .

Ji Nuan's heart skipped a bit . Earlier, she had felt a cold wind against her back . The moment she turned back, she saw that the beautiful bay windows behind the curtains were really not properly locked . There was a small gap, allowing a little wind to enter .

She was silent for a moment before she reached out to the windows and tugged it inwards, firmly closing it . At the same time, she suddenly felt the man's clear scent approach .

Ji Nuan turned her head away, refusing to look at him .

Seeing she was clearly planning to continue to be indifferent toward him, Mo Jingshen's perfect jawline tightened . In the next second, he fiercely grabbed her wrist, pressing it against the bay window behind her .

Ji Nuan felt his forceful strength and abruptly raised her eyes in fright . Her entire body was leaning against the gla.s.s behind her .

Yet, just as she thought to struggle, the man's phone rang .

A sweet tone rang over and over again . She knew it was surely because the evening party had yet to end . Regardless of whether it was from An Shuyan or Mo Shaoze, anyhow, it had nothing to do with her .

“Your phone is ringing,” Ji Nuan reminded him .

Mo Jingshen seemed as though he heard nothing . His gaze remained fixed on her .

He stared down at Ji Nuan, giving her gooseb.u.mps all over her body . His phone fell to silence after a few seconds but began ringing again . She raised her hand to feel around his coat . She retrieved his phone and glanced at the string of unsaved numbers displayed on his screen .

Ji Nuan was able to recognize An Shuyan's number . She had only seen it once that night, but she had memorized it .

She hid a smile as she glanced up at him, handing him the phone . “It's your Secretary An . ”

However, Mo Jingshen coldly pushed aside the phone she raised up to him . At the very moment their eyes met, he grabbed the phone from her hand and ruthlessly threw it behind him .

With a “Peng!” sound, the phone crashed heavily against the slightly shiny, gold tinted ceramic floor tiles . The unending ringtone abruptly stopped .

Mo Jingshen was the sort of person who, even when he did not reveal any expression, induced fear in a person's heart with just a mild and cold glance of his .

Although Ji Nuan did not feel fear, the instant the phone fell, her mind blanked out for a moment .

“My Secretary An?” He coldly sneered . “Who gave her the right?”

Ji Nuan returned to herself, peering over his shoulders to stare at the shattered phone .

Although it was not the one they had bought together, she still could not help but give it another look .

“I'll repeat myself once more . ” His gaze fell on her face, word by word entering her ears . “You're not clear-minded enough right now . We have no need to fight either . We'll discuss this tomorrow morning after you've slept . Listen to me, en?”

His gaze was clearly cold and contained dissatisfaction . Yet, because of Ji Nuan's expression, he still warmed up his tone to prevent frightening her .

Ji Nuan found that the scent of alcohol from the bar had clung heavily onto her . It was not very good to smell . She went to shower again .

As she did not want to face Mo Jingshen right now, she showered for a long time before coming out .

She wrapped the robe very tightly around herself and then wrapped another towel around it . After making sure that she was adequately covered, she walked out of the bathroom .

She scanned the room and could not find Mo Jingshen's silhouette .

Had he returned to the evening party?

Ji Nuan slowly tightened the robe around herself and walked toward the window to open it . The thick bathrobe was barely enough to protect her from the chilly evening air .

It was already late into the night . The hotel corridors were quiet . Outside the window, the city had already welcomed the silent night . There was only the occasional car pa.s.sing by, its headlight flashing . From the eighteenth floor, she could almost see half of Hai Cheng's city lights .

Her tipsiness cleared up a little more .

She finally understood clearly that, what she wanted, was indeed much more than it used to be .

If it had been a month ago, when she had just woken up in the room, she would not have cared about those people's words . Neither would she have paid any mind to An Shuyan's existence .

What she wanted was the ident.i.ty of Mrs . Mo . She wanted to be able to protect everything she had once lost and not to repeat the same mistakes .

What she wanted was only to live this new life well .

However, earlier on, she was really bothered . Bothered until she had frightened herself .

Tonight, she may have been too emotional .

When she left, she actually did not even think twice before stepping into Sheng Yihan's car .

If it had been any other time, she would not have done so even if a knife was placed against her neck .

Ji Nuan raised a hand to hold her forehead, suddenly feeling a wave of regret .

She had really wasted two lives . As someone who had experienced almost everything, her heart's strength was actually still not strong enough .

She was just about to turn around when she heard the sound of the room door opening . The moment she looked back, she saw Mo Jingshen's tall silhouette entering the room . The long coat on the man's body appeared to have been stained the cold evening air . Yet, it did not affect his good looks . He held two boxes of what seemed like takeaway he had personally left to buy .
