Ji Nuan reached out to tug at his shirt sleeve once more.

While tugging at it, she blinked sincerely at him. "My heart has never moved for Sheng Yihan; you should know it too. Before I married into the Mo family, I've never dated anyone properly. I don't have any past to speak of! I am basically the model example of having a clean body and mind!"

After hearing the words 'model example,' Mo Jingshen mildly glanced at her. He clearly became more patient after seeing how sincerely she was explaining.

Ji Nuan directly hugged his arm. "Before you, I've never loved any other man!"

A hint of a smile appeared on Mo Jingshen's face. He reached out to smooth her hair down, meaningfully asking, "Is Mrs. Mo confessing to me right now? Do you love me? En?"

For an instant, Ji Nuan's heart was flustered.

Between her and Mo Jingshen, it seemed as though they had already experienced all sorts of sweetness and warmth, but the word love had never been once mentioned.

She had yet to reply but saw that the smile on the man's lips deepened.

It seemed like his mood had suddenly lifted.

His mood was great.

But Ji Nuan's heart was currently in a state of disorder.

The problem she never dared to think about was suddenly confronting her.

By the time Ji Nuan returned to herself, Mo Jingshen's hand was entwined in her hair. He was looking at her with a faint smile. "Not going to continue charging your phone?"

Ji Nuan finally remembered that the phone had only been plugged in for two minutes before she had plucked it out. She rushed to turn back to charge it.

When she glanced back, she saw Mo Jingshen picking up the air conditioning remote to increase the room's temperature by another two degrees.

The man's silhouette was tall and steady. Regardless of the time, he was always neither too fast nor too slow, just steady and calm.

Ji Nuan suddenly laughed lightly.

Mo Jingshen turned back to glance at her. "What are you laughing about?"

"Not much. I've just suddenly discovered that in front of me, the big CEO Mo is like a professional nanny. He even takes care of when I'm just slightly cold or slightly hot. I actually should be moved to tears; I shouldn't be laughing. I admit my wrongs!"

While speaking, she could not hold in her giggles. Her eyes curved with her laughter.

Mo Jingshen casually threw the remote control onto the bed, calmly speaking, "When you finally learn to take care of yourself, it won't be too late to laugh."

Ji Nuan slept more in the afternoon. After all, last night and this morning caused her strength to be nearly depleted.

She slept until the sky became dark. The moment she woke up, she saw Mo Jingshen sitting on the sofa while scanning through the important documents and files Shen Mu had delivered this morning.

This hotel's sofa was very cozy. Mo Jingshen's sitting posture was graceful and proper. Everything good about this man appeared to be natural. Even as he was only sitting there quietly scanning through some documents, he could still attract all eyes.

Ji Nuan got off the bed. She had just walked over when Mo Jingshen raised his eyes. His clear and heavy gaze met her sleepy, relaxed ones.

"Not sleeping anymore?" he asked mildly.

"The sky is already dark. I'll sleep after 10:00 p.m., otherwise, my daily routine will be all over the place." Ji Nuan noticed the documents he was holding had the Shine Group's logo on them and knew that he still had some follow-up work to complete about the cooperation project with Shine. She did not want to disturb him.

Ji Nuan turned around, wanting to pour some water for him.

"Come here," Mo Jingshen called.

Ji Nuan walked over to the sofa. Mo Jingshen patted the seat next to him, indicating for her to sit down. Ji Nuan glanced at the water dispenser and gave up the thought about pouring water. She obediently sat down.

The man's arm immediately wrapped around her waist, naturally and intimately keeping her in his embrace while his eyes never left the documents he was focused on.

"Since the work with Shine hasn't ended yet, why didn't you go to the company today? You've already accompanied me here to waste an entire day's worth of time. I feel bad." Ji Nuan took the opportunity to ask when he placed the documents down.

Mo Jingshen lightly curved his lips. He raised a hand to press against his brows, and after resting for several seconds, he picked up the documents and continued reading through them.

At the same time, the hand around her moved up and ran through her soft, silky hair. His gaze was fixed on the documents, but his words were directed at her. "It's just some follow-up procedures that require my signature. Previously, I worked overtime for nearly a week. For these two days, I'll accompany you more."

He lowered his head to look at her. "Not just today, my time tomorrow belongs to you as well."

From last night till today, the two have been in this hotel room. Everything they ate and used were delivered by the hotel employees.

Although this pure, undisturbed private world that belonged to just the two of them was truly rare, Ji Nuan somehow felt what Mo Jingshen was trying to say with his words was that for the entire day tomorrow, the two would have to live on the bed.

When the hotel finally delivered their dinner, Ji Nuan chewed on a rib as she thought about how she could enjoy such a peaceful and warm vacation time with Mo Jingshen while perfectly avoiding any interaction with the bed.

"Why doesn't tonight's dinner have any vegetarian dishes?" Ji Nuan asked while eating. "After staying in the room for a day and eating a stomach full of meat tonight, why don't we find a place with a vegetable and fruit garden to pick our own produce to cook? Does Hai Cheng have any organic vegetable garden or the likes?"

Mo Jingshen glanced at her, as though instantly seeing through her thoughts. After two seconds, he said, "There is. I'll bring you there tomorrow."

Ji Nuan placed another rib into her mouth, her heart full of sweetness.

She finally found a perfect reason to avoid the bed!

——

The next day.

Ji Nuan had just opened Mo Jingshen's car door to step out when she saw that they had parked outside an area of wealthy residential villas in Hai Cheng. Although it was called a villa, it was in an extremely good location away from the city. There were not many people staying here because few could afford it.

"How could such a place have a vegetable garden? Did you bring me here to pick grass?" Ji Nuan suspected she was tricked by him, turning back to ask.

Mo Jingshen parked the car properly and walked over. "Go to Qin Siting's. You can pick whatever you wish to."

"Ah? This is Doctor Qin's home?" Ji Nuan was astonished.

"He stays here alone. The villa backyard is spacious and empty. In recent years, the Elder from the Qin family has been enjoying planting and picking his own vegetables and fruit. Their home doesn't have the space for it, so he occupied Qin Siting's backyard."

Ji Nuan's gaze moved towards the villa inside. "So, behind Doctor Qin's beautiful and top-grade villa is actually a vegetable garden?"

A strange picture came to mind...

She had just spoken when a low profile, grey sports car drove in through the spacious and empty road. It was about to drive past them when it suddenly came to a halt.

The car window rolled down, revealing Qin Siting's astonished, handsome face. "What's the situation? Why are you at my place?"

Ji Nuan felt like she had been caught just as she was about to steal someone's vegetables. She raised a hand to wave to him with some embarrassment. "Hi, Doctor Qin..."

Qin Siting's gaze moved down, noticing the fruit basket on Ji Nuan's hand that came from god knows where.

Qin Siting, "..."
