Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

Shen Mu left after taking Ji Nuan to the top floor. After all, it was late and Ji Nuan didn't want to bother him anymore.

Outside the elevator and on the top floor of Shine, standing on the brightly-lit corridor, and looking at the direction of the CEO's office, Ji Nuan stood still for a while.

——

The next morning, Shen Mu came to the office first and it was only 7:00 a.m.

He didn't see Ji Nuan on the top floor. He was about to go to his office and passed by the CEO's office, only to see the door was open and a cleaning woman was cleaning the office. Mo Jingshen had just gone out of the break room and it seemed that he had been working all night, and went out of the break room after a shower.

But he didn't see Ji Nuan.

Shen Mu was surprised. If Ji Nuan was here, CEO Mo shouldn't be in such a state…

He thought for a while, knocked at the door, and walked in. "CEO Mo."

Mo Jingshen took a look at him and walked to the office table. He picked up a document and was about to order his secretary to deliver it to the planning department. He glanced at Shen Mu and found Shen Mu looked hesitant, so he asked indifferently, "Anything wrong?"

"Did Miss Ji leave soon last night?

Mo Jingshen paused and looked at him again. "What?"

"Miss Ji came to the company to see you yesterday. I took her to the top floor and left. Did she… not come to your office?"

Mo Jingshen put the document in his hand on the table and looked at Shen Mu who looked confused. "When?"

"Last night, at about 11:00 pm. I was about to go home from work when I saw her standing by the car in the square opposite the company and looking hesitant, so I brought her in."

Mo Jingshen glanced outside the office and walked straight out without a word.

Shen Mu quickly made way. Mo Jingshen walked out of the office, looked around the corridor, and walked towards the right stairway closest to the office.

As soon as he pushed the door of the stairway, he saw a small black figure.

Ji Nuan came to the top floor last night, but considering that Mo Jingshen hadn't left the company so late and the lights of his office remained on, she guessed that he had work to deal with, so she didn't go straight in. She hesitated for a long time and still didn't knock at the door of his office. After all, even she found the scandal about her troublesome. She had thought that if Ji Mengran dared to confront her head-on, she just needed to slap her in the face, but she didn't expect that Ji Mengran, her half-sister, would play dirty and disguise as her.

Ji Mengran even studied the dressing style of Ji Nuan in the last three years. In those photos, Ji Mengran was dressed exactly like her, including her dressing style and hairstyle!

In such a situation, Ji Mengran was well-prepared whereas Ji Nuan was caught off guard. Perhaps she should have been prepared when she heard Ji Mengran complain that she didn't get the right to inherit the Ji Corporation. Then she wouldn't have let Ji Mengran take the upper hand.

Ji Nuan didn't know what to say to Mo Jingshen. After considering for a long time, she hid in the stairway closest to his office. Now day broke and she still sat there silently.

The stairway was dark, although there was a sensor light above. But she sat still there all night, so the light wasn't on.

Before Ji Nuan heard any sound, she saw the light suddenly was on. She, holding her knees and sitting on the stair, paused and turned to look, only to see the man in the white shirt and black trousers standing at the top of the stairs, with one hand in the trouser pocket and looking down at her with deep, dark eyes.

She froze.

The man stood there and looked deadpan at her who was sitting on the stair and holding her knees. His tone was emotionless. "Have you been sitting here all night? How is the air in the staircase?"

Ji Nuan: "…"

She rose suddenly, but her legs went numb from sitting there so long. It was as if a sharp electric current was running through her legs and feet, and she had to lean against the wall to regain her footing.

Seeing her stumble, Mo Jingshen was about to go up to support her, but then seeing her lean against the wall, he stopped and looked at her black hoodie and the oversized hood on her back. Now he could guess how she got here last night.

He tried to keep himself from laughing and remained expressionless. At least in Ji Nuan's eyes, Mo Jingshen was poker-faced.

"How did you know I was here?" Ji Nuan waited until the pain in her legs and feet had gone before she looked up at the man

Mo Jingshen glanced at her. "I don't have X-ray vision, so I didn't know you were sitting outside my office the whole night. Shen Mu came to work just now and asked me about you when he didn't see you. Then I knew you were here."

Ji Nuan pursed her lips. "Am I bothering you?"

She came to ask him for help, but she hesitated as if she was afraid to disturb him. Seeing her so polite to him and trying to distance herself from him, Mo Jingshen looked at her quietly for a while and then said, "How can you bother me since you didn't even go to my office?"

Mo Jingshen was very intelligent. He had guessed why she came here.

Ji Nuan stood for a moment against the wall. Since she had come here, there was nothing to hide. She slowly clenched her fist, thought for a while and finally spoke.

"In fact, I had been thinking about whether I should turn to you for help, but I don't want to get you into trouble. The people who are scolding me online are also scolding you. I must have caused you big trouble," Ji Nuan said lightly."Mo Jingshen, I don't think I can get through this."

"They are just gossiping. Don't take it seriously. Just ignore them!"

"But I don't have any evidence to prove my innocence. Even if I try to defend myself, no one will believe me, but if things go on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Hai City."

"You don't have to defend yourself." Mo Jingshen smiled. "Everything happens for a reason. There's no need to panic. Just find the one behind this scandal, and the problem will be solved."

Ji Nuan paused. "What do you mean?"

The man reached out to her, his tone gentle and patient. "Come here."
