Mo Jingshen stood there expressionlessly; his voice carried some iciness. His pupils were heavy and cold as he mildly looked outside.

The two guards about to pull Ji Nuan aside did not dare to touch her. Their forehead and back were filled with cold sweat upon meeting Mo Jingshen's gaze.

The entire 33rd floor of the hotel, including the room, fell into pin-drop silence.

This was not the first time Ji Nuan had seen such a frigid Mo Jingshen. However, his gaze right now was sufficient to cause cold to seep into everyone's bones. Looking at it, even her back felt slightly chilly.

Mo Jingshen's gaze coldly swept by them. "Who dares to touch her?"

"CEO Mo, we were simply obeying Director Mo's orders. He was worried about your condition in the room, so he had us..." The two guards were pale as they explained themselves.

Mo Jingshen's brows and eyes remained cold as his line of sight shifted to one particular person. He smiled mockingly. "Obeying orders?"

Ji Nuan remained by the door, standing quietly.

From the beginning, she had known that Mo Shaoze had no way of controlling Mo Jingshen. If he did, he would not have resorted to such a coercive method.

Furthermore, Mo Shaoze's actions last night would only serve to push Mo Jingshen even further away. This was clear from Mo Jingshen's current attitude.

In his eyes, there would no longer be this father to consider.

Frigid, ice-cold.

Mo Jingshen walked toward Ji Nuan's side. He lowered his eyes to look at her little fearless face and gripped her hand.

Seeing Mo Jingshen's action after approaching the door, Mo Shaoze instantly became unfriendly. His expression was filled with unhappiness.

Ji Nuan thought Mo Jingshen was using such a method to reassure her. She lightly moved the hand he was holding and scratched against his palm in hopes of dispelling the tension-filled air.

Yet, in an instant, she was suddenly pulled forward by a large force. Her entire body fell into Mo Jingshen's embrace. Before she could even stand firmly, Mo Jingshen's arm shifted to hold her. It was as though he was announcing his possession of her as he unyieldingly held her in place.

Mo Jingshen's cold and determined voice brushed past her forehead. "Ji Nuan is my wife. With me around, nobody can shake her position as Mrs. Mo."

Mo Shaoze's gaze was ice-cold. "Where is Shu Yan? She wasn't with you last night?"

It was at this moment that a gentle voice came from the direction of the elevator. "Uncle Mo, my deepest apologies..."

Mo Shaoze abruptly turned around, looking at An Shuyan.

Without needing any explanation, everything became clear instantly.

Mo Shaoze's expression darkened, and his astute eyes narrowed. "It seems like Shu Yan did not wish to use such a method to force someone. I can understand her hesitation. She's such a good woman, considerate on your behalf in every way. Placed in such a situation, she would even give up her opportunity. Her feelings for you are clearly deep. What sort of thing can Ji Nuan be counted for? Jing Shen, take a good look at this!"

"I see it very clearly." Mo Jingshen's tone was slightly icy. "I won't divorce, neither will I marry Shu Yan. In this life, marrying Ji Nuan alone is all I need."

Shu Yan had stood afar without approaching. Although Mo Jingshen did not raise his voice as he spoke with a cold and apathetic tone, it was loud enough for her to hear his words clearly.

She lowered her gaze and did not speak any further. A flash of bitterness appeared in her eyes.

During the thunderstorm last night, when Ji Nuan had driven out of the Mo family home alone, she should already have known...

From the unshakeable faith in Mo Jingshen Ji Nuan displayed, she should already have known...

Mo Shaoze's expression was heavy; filled with cold sternness and rage. He then turned back to see An Shuyan's dispirited and quiet appearance. His eyes narrowed.

An Shuyan politely nodded to him and turned to leave. She did not wish to listen to this any further.

Mo Shaoze abruptly turned to focus on Ji Nuan with cold eyes. "Jing Shen, so what if you've set your heart on this Ji Nuan? Women are but accessories in one's career. If not for the Mo family's influence, how could this woman, who was once said to have her eyes fixed high, possibly agree to marry at the young age of twenty? Before your wedding, she didn't even know what kind of person you were! Perhaps until now, she is still not clear of it!"

"Your mother's utter bullshit!" Elder Mo suddenly scolded from the side. "Women are accessories for one's career? If you are so capable, return to America and say that to Jing Shen's mother's face!"

Mo Shaoze's brows knitted as he coldly glanced at the elder. He was clearly dissatisfied with how he was always against him.

"What are you glaring at? Years ago, if it wasn't because your old man was astute and well-connected, allowing you to hold a beautiful woman, would you have been able to marry Jing Shen's mother? Back then, she was also a wealthy young lady with her eyes set high. She completely was not taken to you, the little brat with a horrible temper. Afterward, didn't the both of you still live your entire life happily? You even gave birth to Jing Shen, this wonderful grandson of mine!"

"..."

A fire of rage was ignited in Mo Shaoze's chest. At this moment, he did not have the energy to argue with the elder. He only coldly glanced toward Ji Nuan. "Why aren't you answering? Do you understand Jing Shen's past? Do you know what sort of person he is?"

Mo Jingshen's expression was extremely apathetic as he tugged Ji Nuan behind him.

Ji Nuan suddenly chuckled lightly as she walked out from behind him. She raised her eyes to meet Mo Shaoze's. "Does Jing Shen's mother know how old you were when you were weaned off milk? Does she know when you stopped wetting the bed? Does she know how many teeth you dropped when you were seven? Does she know how you kissed when you dated a girl for the first time? Does she know what sort of person you were before marriage?"

Mo Shaoze's expression was cold and heavy. He instantly stared at her with rage.

"She definitely doesn't!" Ji Nuan kept on smiling, but her lips were turned up coldly. Her gaze was clear and bright, meeting his ice-cold ones head-on. "Since she is so unaware of your past, I think it's still all right for you to divorce at your age. Right now, pairing an old person with a young person is quite trendy. You can marry the outstanding An Shuyan, wouldn't that suit your intentions well?"

"You're being impudent!" Mo Shaoze sternly reprimanded, "At your age, your temper sure is amazing. Is this how the Ji family taught you to be respectful to your elders?"

"As your daughter-in-law, I can't even address you as 'father.' I'm already beyond disrespectful to you. What differences can these sentences make?" Ji Nuan shot back.

"That's right!" Elder Mo almost wanted to stand next to Ji Nuan and applaud her.

Mo Shaoze angrily closed his eyes, pointing at Ji Nuan before turning back to the laughing elder. "This is the granddaughter-in-law you picked?"

Elder Mo nodded immediately, smiling. "That's right, this is the granddaughter-in-law I picked!"

Mo Shaoze: "..."
