Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing? - Chapter 477

Chapter 477: We Slept Together Many Times, and You’re Afraid I’ll See Your Legs? (1)

She spoke as if with ease, but that was not what she really thought when she left the lounge.

Mo Jingshen would never do meaningless things, let alone say meaningless nonsense.

There must be a reason for him to ask Xiao Luye that question.

Mr. Xiao Zhenjun was very polite and nice to her and seemed to try to get close to her, but why did Mo Jingshen say Mr. Xiao Zhenjun would make her unhappy?

Why would an old man who was very kind to her make her unhappy?

She hadn’t seen Mr. Xiao Zhenjun before, nor did they have any feud. Why would he make her unhappy?

She pondered and suddenly remembered the ‘ethics,’ Xiao Luye spoke of. Her eyelid twitched, and something suddenly came into her mind, but she remained expressionless and hurried back to the banquet hall, without speaking to Xiao Luye again.

Maybe she thought too much.

When Mr. Xiao came out of the lounge, the banquet hall was very lively. He didn’t look for Ji Nuan. Xiao Luye stayed by her side as her male companion and didn’t attend the celebration activities of the party. Whenever a man came to accost Ji Nuan, Xiao Luye would stare at the man ferociously until he left, giving Ji Nuan no chance to chat with other men.

Although this made Ji Nuan feel relaxed, the thought that had just popped into her mind did not.

Maybe she is overthinking.

When the party was halfway, Ji Nuan went to the champagne tower alone, picked up a glass of champagne, and looked back at the people who were dancing slowly across the dance floor as the music played in the hall. She picked up another glass, intending to bring one for Xiao Luye, who had no wine in his hand. However, when she took two glasses of champagne and turned around, the lights on the cruise ship suddenly flickered, and the sizzling sound of electric current was heard from time to time. It seemed there was a short-circuit.

Then, sensing something ominous, the security guards on the scene were about to tell everyone to stop and not move when the lights in the ballroom suddenly went out and darkness fell.

Even if there was no danger and maybe it was just that the light had a problem, there were still a lot of timid ladies and men issuing a cry of surprise and rampaging through the darkness in search of an exit. The screams drowned out the sound of security guards directing the exit.

From time to time, someone held up the flashlight of his cell phone and shone it around, which made it harder for everyone to see clearly in the dark.

Ji Nuan hurriedly put down the glasses and was about to follow the crowd out. However, the people behind were rushing so fast that they couldn’t see what was ahead in the dark, only to crash into the two- or three meters high champagne tower made up of countless champagne glasses.

Numerous goblets fell down immediately, and all the glasses fell down on her as she stood closest to the champagne tower. The glasses cracked and produced a great noise. The moment she got wet, she was about to move aside to avoid further injury when someone next to her bumped her.

She was wearing high heels, and the ground under her feet was all wine and debris. It was so slippery that she was unable to keep steady. Being bumped by the one beside her, she fell to the ground.

“Ouch—” She gasped in instant pain.

When her arms and legs were cut by the broken wine glasses on the ground, she wondered if she would just be trampled to death by the panicky feet of the crowd, but the light came back on at the moment.

When the lights came on, everyone stayed put, not knowing whether it was a temporary blackout or a scary movie-like event. Xiao Luye made his way through the crowd and was about to rescue Ji Nuan before anyone could see her.

However, someone had moved quicker than him. He pushed the crowd aside, rushed up, and wrapped the suit jacket to her wet body. And then, he decisively picked her up who was already injured and shouted “Get away” at the people who come around as he walked quickly out with her in his arms—

Everyone else saw Miss Ji, the CEO of the MN group, who was all wet and in a mess, wrapped in a black suit, which almost covered most of her body. They couldn’t see her face but only saw her white and slender arms and legs dripping with blood. Only then did people notice that the high champagne tower collapsed.

There were shards of glass all over the floor, and there was a lot of blood on the floor. She must have fallen there, right on the shards of glass.

It seemed that she was hurt pretty badly!

Someone came back to himself from the panic, saying in surprise, “Did I see that right? Was it CEO Mo… who carried CEO Ji out?”

The banquet hall was still a mess. Mr. Xiao Zhenjun suddenly hurried over, looked at the blood on the ground, and then turned to look outside, saying coldly, “Why is there so much blood here? Send someone to see if they need any help. I hope the child’s injury is not too serious, and it won’t leave a scar on that girl.”

The security guards kept explaining to the crowd that the voltage instability on the cruise ship caused a problem with the power line for a while, and the power went out suddenly. However, the power was restored in two minutes. They didn’t expect to cause such an uproar in just two minutes.

Mr. Xiao Zhenjun suddenly glared at Xiao Luye hard. “I asked you to take care of her. Why did you let her stand below the champagne tower?” Then he turned and said, “Ask them to get out the surveillance video of the two-minute power failure just now. Isn’t there a night vision monitor? I’d like to see who pushed Miss Ji down!”

Behind the crowd, Sheng Yihan suddenly took a look at Ji Mengran, who stood beside him.

Noticing Sheng Yihan’s stare, Ji Mengran, who was excited to see Ji Nuan injured, immediately denied it, “It was not me. I had been standing with you. Everybody was running around just now, and it’s normal for someone to bump into the champagne tower and then into someone else. How could I possibly know there would be a blackout? How could I control the power lines on a cruise ship like this? Ji Nuan was just unlucky. It’s none of my business…”

Sheng Yihan took a cold look at her again before he withdrew his eyes and glanced at the president of the Ling Xiao Group who was enraged.

Ji Mengran said, “Don’t you think Mr. Xiao really cares about Ji Nuan? Has she hooked up with Mr. Xiao? After all, everyone says she trades her body for her success…”

Sheng Yihan pulled his arm out of her hand with a look of annoyance and said coldly, “Shut up. Isn’t it you who started this rumor?”

Ji Mengran didn’t speak anymore but turned to glance out into the darkness outside with an unhappy look. Did Ji Nuan hurt her face just now? If only she were disfigured!
