Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

Mo Jingshen was coming.

The moment this knowledge was crystallized in her mind, Ji Nuan shut the doors.

However, the room was not sufficiently soundproofed. The city leaders mentioned that the guests could provide some feedback after staying for a night. It seemed like she would need to recommend soundproof walls to them.

Because mentions of Mo Jingshen continued passing by her ears.

The two old CEOs chatting outside most likely stayed on this floor as well. They continued standing in the hallway for a long while to chat.

For example, they discussed methods to deepen their partnership with Shine Group, chatted about topics to converse with CEO Mo so that he would be easier to approach, and even brought up how the Mo family always maintained a low profile. Mo Jingshen rarely appeared on the news, and few media outlets dared to make themselves a target. None of the local search engines dared to reveal too much about the Mo family. Although there would be some occasional news about Shine Group, the moment this news was discovered, they would immediately be taken down.

Occasionally, there would be some publicity about their partnerships. Only then, would Mo Jingshen sometimes respond openly to the media. But even then, he rarely allowed photos or recordings.

In Hai City, there were too many rising figures and companies. The three words, Mo Jingshen, were akin to a Buddha in their circle. Everyone hoped to walk with him, but few dared to do so. Even if they had the courage, they rarely had the ability. After all, it took a lot to be able to stand with Mo Jingshen.

In the past few years, the number of women who scrambled after Mo Jingshen's back was countless. They knew a little about Mo Jingshen's past but were aware that he used to be married. It seemed like he divorced, but they were clueless about the details. They only thought that he rarely had women by his side because he had little interest in them.

This was a man that was difficult to overcome. No matter if it was Hai City's legion of beautiful women, or the countless businessmen located here, they all hoped to be associated with the name Mo Jingshen but were never able to do so.

Inside the room, Ji Nuan dug her ears and felt that she truly needed to give feedback about the soundproof effects.

The people were still chatting outside. At times, they would greet other old CEOs that were passing by. Cheerful laughter and polite words echoed from the hallway.

Ji Nuan entered the bathroom for a shower and changed into a relaxed, long white T-shirt. After drying her hair, she stood by the mirror to pat an essence into her skin. As her hand tapped her own tender, soft skin, she recalled the words Mr. Zand once told her in England: 'Beauty was a woman's strongest weapon. If paired with an ice-cold hard that cannot be easily moved, she would become invincible.'

She has never intentionally cared about her own beauty. But from three years ago, this heart had already lost all of its warmth.

The people by her side would often bring up Mr. Vinse, who had been determined to pursue her from three years ago and often visited her in London. However, it seemed like her heart was never moved. Did she really not feel anything? Was her heart truly not moved? Could it be that her heart was made of steel?

Was her heart moved? Of course not.

But was her heart made of steel?

No, it was clearly made of ice.

The next morning, Ji Nuan woke up bright and early. She had developed a habit of working out whenever she had the time in the morning. If there were no suitable places to exercise, she would go for a morning run or do some relaxing yoga in her room.

There was a gym in the resort. In the morning, there were quite some people heading to the gym with towels hanging on their necks. Some had woken up even earlier and were already done with their workout. Everyone exchanged greetings as they passed by each other.

When Ji Nuan headed out, she only offered them a simple greeting. It was not especially crowded in the gym, and the crowd mostly consisted of healthy individuals who had good figures.

When those people saw Ji Nuan, they paused to greet her. Ji Nuan gave them a smile before looking away. She climbed on the treadmill and began focusing on her run. She did not say anything.

Occasionally, someone would approach to speak to her. Ji Nuan would turn with a polite smile, and when the other party lost interest and left, she would turn back to look at the numbers on the machine. Her expression did not contain much emotion.

After working out, she returned to her room for a shower. Her stay here today could not be considered a business trip, but a vacation amongst various large figures that rarely gathered together. Most people had followed the city leaders. Many were chasing after Mo Jingshen even though he had yet to appear.

In the afternoon, Ji Nuan leisurely strolled along the beach to pick up seashells. She had just found a small white shell and was planning to head back to her room to wash it when she heard someone mention that CEO Mo was arriving soon.

Ji Nuan fell silent for a moment. She returned to her room and kept the shell away before washing her hands and stepping out once more. Coincidentally, she saw and followed the crowd to the entrance of the resort.

When Mo Jingshen finally alighted from the car, various leaders and old CEOs approached to welcome him. Although Ji Nuan stood at the back of the crowd, from this angle, she could see the approaching man with one glance.

At this moment, the scene that flashed through her mind was of that year in Ao Lan International, when this man had stood by the counter with his sleeves rolled up to prepare dinner for her.

Right now, the tall and handsome man who appeared used to being dressed in a black suit did not lose his powerful aura even as he stood amidst the crowd. It was impossible to connect such a man with those gentle and heartwarming days.

Ji Nuan's lips curved up.

She did not know what she was actually smiling about.

Mo Jingshen's expression was indifferent. He had already grown used to having a mountain of people line up to greet him. As he moved through the crowd, he passed by most people without a second glance. Occasionally, he would offer a polite handshake or two. Shen Mu, who stood in front of him, raised his arm whenever someone pressed too closely. As they were approaching this side, Shen Mu raised his arm once more and was about to create a larger distance between Mo Jingshen and the crowd. When he turned back to noticed that Ji Nuan was in the crowd, his arm immediately paused. He subconsciously wondered if he should let CEO Mo and Ji Nuan shake hands…

However, when Mo Jingshen noticed Ji Nuan among the crowd, his gaze calmly left her without a pause. He did not follow Shen Mu's actions to approach. Ji Nuan also tactfully took a step back.

Unexpectedly, she stepped onto someone's skirt. The person behind her was likely a wealthy young lady. Her temper wasn't small. The instant her skirt was stepped on, she immediately knitted her brows, demanding, "What are you doing? Don't you know to be more careful?"

The person behind immediately pushed against Ji Nuan in retaliation.

Ji Nuan had just returned from the beach and was wearing a pair of slippers. There was quite some sand under her shoes, and she had only managed to wash her feet and hands simply in her room earlier. Her flip-flops had yet to dry off fully and were rather slippery. With this one push, she was unable to stand firm and stumbled forward heavily.
