Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mo Jingshen expression was mild, not revealing any emotions. He did not reply.

Yet, An Shuyan remained standing close to him.

The dress she wore was one that revealed her cleavage, graceful and sexy. With her hand on his elbow, they approached the crowd.

An Shuyan was clearly very familiar with many of the people there. She greeted them with a smile, occasionally glancing gently at Mo Jingshen. This caused everyone watching to unavoidably think there was more to it between the two.

Ji Nuan focused her gaze in their direction.

All of a sudden, Sheng Yihan stood by her side, handing over a glass of champagne. At the same time, he spoke quietly so that only she could hear him, "Tonight's topic doesn't have much relation to the Sheng family, but my father has always been interested in several of Shine Group's new project, so he had me come to listen."

Sheng Yihan's tone was indifferent, making it difficult to understand his emotions. "Shine's foundation is in the Mo family. After developing in America for so many years, its influence and wealth cannot be underestimated. Especially Shine's current director, Mo Shaoze. Supposedly, he is a very stubborn and unyielding man. The daughter-in-law he has chosen is clearly the one standing by Mo Jingshen's side."

Ji Nuan forced herself to shift her gaze away to act casual. "In a place where the upper class gathers, and especially at an evening party where Shine is the focus, there's nothing wrong with him attending with Secretary An. After all, Secretary An came from Shine."

"Is it?" Sheng Yihan drank a sip of champagne, chuckling meaningfully by her ears. "Mo Shaoze has not returned to the country in many years. Now that he is finally back, several of the Mo family's people will also be here. Yet, the daughter-in-law that formally married into the Mo family did not receive an invitation. Even Mo Jingshen himself did not plan to bring you here. Regardless if it's to prevent obstruction to Shine's cooperation or any other reason, on such an occasion like today, his choice is not you."

Ji Nuan's grip around the champagne glass tightened for a moment. She then threw another cold glance at Sheng Yihan.

Ji Nuan turned away, looking in that direction once more. However, she did not speak. As the crowd began to head there, she stood in her position and did not approach.

"Not going?" Sheng Yihan mildly reminded.

Ji Nuan's expression was not very good. Hearing the voice by her side, she then chuckled casually, forcing herself to relax, "For what? There are too many people, it's difficult to breathe. It's quite good here."

She hastily gulped down the champagne in her glass and shoved it in Sheng Yihan's chest. She ignored his expression, casually picking up another glass from the table nearby.

She could feel that although his words were full of mockery, as though the unhappier she was in her marriage, the happier he would be, in actuality his attention was evenly spread across everyone in this place. Sheng Yihan was a man full of schemes. She was well aware of the number of secrets and thoughts he had.

Many years ago, she had become clear about what a dangerous person he was. He hid everything well and had a frightening amount of patience. He was also good at devising strategies.

However, right now, she did not have the mood to pay attention to him. Originally, she had not planned to attend this evening party. If not because she had seen Mo Jingshen, she would never have entered.

However, she suspected that her decision to be here was wrong.

She really should not have come.

The cocktail that entered her lips carried a hint of sweetness. However, the alcohol percentage was clearly higher than the champagne from earlier.

She only drank a sip and furrowed her brows. She lowered her gaze to look at the colorful liquid in the cup. There were several ice cubes inside that had yet to melt. It was incredibly refreshing and helped calm down her boiling emotions.

She drank three to four glasses in a row and indeed saw several of Mo family's people around.

She was not too familiar with the people in America's Shine Group. However, she was extremely familiar with the people in the Mo family. Ji Nuan tried her best to stand in a dark corner to avoid being found. From this distance, because everyone was blocking her, she could not see Mo Jingshen's situation clearly.

She turned toward the hotel entrance where several of the Mo family's relatives and friends were chatting. There were also guards by the entrance. If she were to leave now, she would definitely attract attention.

"Sheng Yihan." Because she had drank some wine and had a poor tolerance, her eyes were already slightly red. Although it was not too obvious, people who stood by her side could still tell.

Sheng Yihan lowered his gaze to look at her, staring at her eyes.

Ji Nuan stared at him, speaking coldly and mockingly, "Although you haven't been in the Sheng family for many years, you had already prepared to return a long time ago, haven't you? Tolerating humiliation for revenge, suffering patiently for your goal, you're really quite something, ah."

The man did not speak, but his lips curved imperceptibly as he stared into her slightly red eyes.

"Your appetite sure isn't small. You even have ideas about Shine and Mo Corporation. Aren't you afraid that if you take too big of a bite, you'll choke?" Ji Nuan coldly glanced at him, the scorn in her eyes increasing.

Sheng Yihan's gaze gradually revealed at an obvious sneer. "What else can be worse than being bitten by your own love? I could endure even such a pain, what more do I have to fear?"

Ji Nuan's expression did not change, but the ice in her eyes soared.

In her mind, the scene from many years ago replayed—the young man rejected at the door by the Sheng family. After his mother married into the Ji family, he was banished from it because of the Ji family's eldest daughter. When that young man turned toward her for the last time, his gaze was profound and unfathomable.

She coldly curled her lips, picking up another glass and casually leaning against the table behind her. She spoke with a cool tone, "That's what you assumed was love. It has nothing to do with me."

Sheng Yihan mildly curved his lips. Seeing her like this, he extended his hand, gently caressing her face slightly warm from the alcohol. Ji Nuan moved away with an icy fierceness and glared at him. "What are you doing?"

"The first time I saw you, you were still the Ji family's, high in the air, eldest miss. Like a princess that despised all living things, you passed by everyone in the luxurious ballroom. Yet, behind your father's back, you hid in a corner to steal a sip of wine. In the end, you ended up sloppily drunk in the corner. Your face was red as an apple. I went to carry you out on my back, but I was bitten by you instead."

Ji Nuan subconsciously moved the glass away from her lips, coldly saying, "If it were right now, I definitely wouldn't bite you. After all, you're too dirty."

Her gaze was cold, leaving no care for his feelings.

Ji Nuan did not feel like continuing with this topic.

Although the alcohol served at this evening party was not particularly strong, she truly did not have a high tolerance. Additionally, because her mood was affected, she drank several glasses, mixing several types of alcohol. The headache from earlier was returning.

She placed the glass down, calmly saying, "I'm heading to the restroom."
