Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing? - Chapter 381

Chapter 381: Flowers Thrown in a Dumpster

“Boss, you are in a bad state of mind. Did you stay up late to play during the weekend? You look gaunter after vacation than you were at work.” Xiao Ba said as she followed Ji Nuan out of the conference room.

“En, I didn’t sleep well,” Ji Nuan said flatly.

“You can’t go on like this. Our studio will move to the office building in downtown next month. The sign of our studio has been hung. Our company’s housewarming party will be held for three days in a row. All partners and clients are expected to come to the party. In your present state, you look as if you will fall down at any moment. You need to sleep and eat well during your vacation, or you won’t be able to hold out that day!”

“En.”

Seeing that Ji Nuan didn’t seem to want to talk, Xiao Ba, who was following her, stopped nagging her. When they return to the office, Xia Tian happened to come over. She took a look at Xia Tian and then at Ji Nuan and asked her to go back to her office with a stern look.

When Xiao Ba left, Xia Tian looked at Ji Nuan, who had obviously not eaten or slept well. “I thought you’d be better off after staying at home for two days. But seeing you like this, I might as well had rushed to slap An Shuyan that time, which would be better than bearing that insult.”

“Okay, stop.” Ji Nuan put the pile of papers in her hand into hers. “Go to Jiang City with me for two days. Something is wrong with a plot in a tourist area. The document issued by the government of Jiang City lacked a seal. Now, they refuse to give us the land with this excuse, but we’ve paid the money. Xiao Ba can’t handle this rascal kind of behavior. Let’s go solve it personally.”

Whenever Ji Nuan talked about work these days, she was like a windup machine, caring about nothing but work.

Xia Tian didn’t know what was wrong with her before, but now she finally knew.

“Are you sure about going to Jiang City at such a time? Are you surrendering your man to another woman?” Xia Tian asked with a frown.

Ji Nuan, who had just pushed open the door of the office, froze, then turned her head and said indifferently, “An Shuyan has been in Hai City for more than a month, but I learned about it two days ago. If anything is going to happen between them, it has already happened. What can I do in Hai City? Even if I’m in Hai City, I can’t see Mo Jingshen. It makes no difference whether I’m in Hai City or not.”

With that, she went straight in.

Xia Tian was very exasperated. Although Ji Nuan suddenly became indifferent, she knew Ji Nuan must be suffering a lot.

Although she was her good friend, she couldn’t do much for her if Ji Nuan didn’t want her to interfere. She was willing to do anything for her friend, but she would have to gain her friend’s approval first. Otherwise, even if she went to Mo Jingshen with a knife, she would only do a disservice to her.

Xia Tian followed her into the office. “Then go to Jiang City to relax for two days. The temperature there is higher than that of Hai City. Shall we prepare two swimsuits and spend a night in the newly developed seascape tourist area of Jiang City?”

“Not interested,” Ji Nuan answered coldly, and sat down behind the desk and looked down at the documents in her hands.

Xia Tian paused.

The biggest difference between her and Ji Nuan was that when she was in a bad mood or had problems with her boyfriend, she would find ways to vent and cheer herself up, whereas Ji Nuan would keep it all inside. She was quite different from the person who used to be domineering and arrogant. Now, she forced herself to be calm and rational, which in Xia Tian’s eyes, was simply self-torture.

In the afternoon, Ji Nuan was still reading documents when the door of the office was suddenly knocked. Xiao Ba stuck her head in holding a bunch of roses.

Seeing the roses, Ji Nuan cast a surprised look at her. “What’s this?”

Xiao Ba coughed and said in a small voice, “These are sent by Mr. Vinse, the Managing Director of BGY group. In fact, he has been sending you flowers for almost two months; he sends you a big bunch of red roses every day…”

Seeing Ji Nuan frown coldly and saying nothing, Xiao Ba said, “But those flowers were intercepted by Sister Xia Tian and me. Sister Xia Tian has stopped a lot of suitors for you. She usually won’t let me tell you that. She said you just need to focus on your work, and she would tend to the rest, but today… when these flowers were sent here on time, I was about to throw them away, but Sister Xia Tian told me that if anyone ever sent you flowers again, not to stopped them and bring them to you.”

Looking at the roses, Ji Nuan put her hand on her forehead and remained silent.

Was Xia Tian, who had nowhere to vent, trying to help her find a new boyfriend?

Mr. Vinse was an overseas returnee in his thirties who looked genteel and wore gold-rimmed glasses. It was said that he was an overseas Master of Management. Since he was able to climb to the position of general manager of the BGY Group at a young age, he must be sophisticated and intelligent, but Ji Nuan felt he was too shrewd and cunning and didn’t like to come into contact with such kind of person. When he asked her to have dinner with him, she just thought that he wanted to be polite because of the cooperation and refused.

She didn’t know he was pursuing her.

No wonder recently every time she went to the parking lot, she found flowers thrown in a nearby dumpster. It turned out it was the handiwork of Xia Tian and Xiao Ba.

“Boss, let me find a vase and put the flowers in it.” Xiao Ba was going to look for the vase excitedly.

“No, throw it away as usual,” Ji Nuan said flatly. “And call Mr. Vinse and ask him not to send me flowers anymore. He knows I’m married. What’s the point for him to send me flowers?”

“Maybe it’s a foreign etiquette. There’s nothing wrong with liking you, and he just sends you flowers and doesn’t do anything else… He has been sending you flowers for so long… Every day when I throw the flowers away, I feel pity…,” Xiao Ba mumbled.

Ji Nuan glanced at her. “So, do you think a married woman like me, in the face of another man’s affection, should just accept his flowers every day and put them in my office happily?”

“…”

Xiao Ba was not married, nor in love. She must have longed for love and roses, and it was not strange for her to think this way. After hearing Ji Nuan’s words, Xiao Ba pursed her lips. She probably agreed that it was really improper to put the flowers in Ji Nuan’s office, so she obediently took the flowers out and no longer placed such an eyesore in front of Ji Nuan’s eyes.
