Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing? - Chapter 493

Chapter 493: Mo Jingshen Never Truly Planned on Letting Go

He recalled the period when Ji Nuan first left for England. Although she insisted that she had moved on, that everything had ended, she would often sit alone in a daze.

It hadn’t been easy waiting for that period of her life to end. She had finally dug out the words ‘Mo Jingshen’ from her life and started living again. Although he was happy about her return to Hai City, it also made him worry. He wasn’t sure what sort of plans Mo Jingshen truly had for her.

And right now, it seems like Mo Jingshen never truly planned on letting her go.

“Although Yuehu Bay is a good place, it’s a considerably remote place in the western city district. I never expected CEO Mo to grace his presence here,” as Mr. Vinse spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the backseat car window.

Shen Mu placed one hand in his pocket and chuckled. “Mr. Vinse, I similarly never expected that you would dare to chase CEO Mo’s ex-wife. After three years, you’ve yet to succeed. What’s the point in silently watching over her? That Miss Ji would move to such a place, aside from wanting a safer space for herself, she was also defending herself against you, don’t you think so?”

The reason Shen Mu can stay by Mo Jingshen’s side for so long, aside from knowing how to conduct himself, is also because he has a good grasp of what should and should not be said. He is especially good at understanding a person’s heart. For example, he even understood the astute Mr. Vinse very well.

Mr. Vinse smiled coldly. “I’m not sure who exactly she is defending herself against. But I believe your CEO Mo should understand better than me. You say, should I remind her who the owner of those five floors in Yuehu Bay really is?”

At this moment, the tinted, low-profile windows slowly shifted down. Inside the car, the man’s gaze was distant and unfazed. His voice was heavy, cold, and unhurried. “I heard that the BGY Group’s general manager is a rare man who relied on his own abilities to climb into the upper society without any background to hold him up. If you are sure that you can withstand the weight of the consequences, I don’t mind letting you attempt it.”

Mr. Vinse sneered. “CEO Mo, you’ve been navigating the business world for so long, and are a leader in the upper society. You should be far more clear-minded than anyone. You’ve always acted appropriately. This marriage has already come to an end. There’s really no need for you to continue disturbing Ji Nuan’s life.”

Mo Jingshen had already shifted his gaze away. He did not offer him a single, further glance. His pupils appeared dipped in the evening cold. “This is my personal business. With your status as BGY Group’s general manager, if you wish to pursue the director of MN Group, I’m afraid Mr. Vinse may have overestimated your own charm. Or have you misinterpreted Ji Nuan’s gratitude and kindness as a favorable feeling for you?”

Mr. Vinse’s expression concealed a hint of unhappiness and embarrassment. Those words had hit the mark.

All of the patience Ji Nuan had given him was indeed because he had helped her during her toughest times in England.

But because he did not wish to hear the word ‘gratitude,’ she never once used it.

Right now, Mo Jingshen had directly broken the illusion.

Mo Jingshen’s cold and handsome face did not reveal any emotions. From his completely indifferent expression, Mr. Vinse could sense that Mo Jingshen had found him irksome for quite a while.

So long as he wished, he could make it impossible for him to continue standing in Hai City.

Perhaps, Mo Jingshen previously did not touch him because of the help he gave Ji Nuan.

The car windows were closed once more, separating the two men from each other.

Shen Mu remained smiling. By now, he had moved aside to smoke a cigarette. Before he returned to the car, he handed a cigarette to Mr. Vinse and asked if he smoked with a smile. Mr. Vinse did not receive it, and Shen Mu casually tossed it on the ground. With a mild smile, he said, “Mr. Vinse, you best behave. Even if you waited thirty years, the things that don’t belong to you would never be yours. Don’t make things difficult for yourself over a person that has never been yours.”

Shen Mu left these words behind and got in the car.

The noble and detached man in the car did not move the windows down again. The luxurious yet low-profile black Bugatti drove by before his eyes.

A cold atmosphere gradually gathered around Mr. Vinse. His hands slowly tightened into fists.

He was clearly a victor in terms of career; he was arrogant and conceited.

But at this moment, he felt a sense of defeat.

Ji Nuan’s heart was indeed difficult to conquer. In the past three years, he had been unable to melt even the tip of the iceberg.

So long as he wished, he could bring out his phone and give Ji Nuan a call. Based on Ji Nuan’s attitude against Mo Jingshen, she would definitely leave Yuehu Bay immediately and never step in this place again.

But whether or not those words could be said.

The decision laid on him.

…

Recently, Ji Nuan had to take an abrupt trip abroad for business. She stayed in Canada for half a month before returning. Upon her return to the country, she continued working without rest. She had busy meetings over the construction of the Hai City stadium. She spent each day working overtime, looking over plans, and visiting the construction site. Where possible, she personally looked over every step of the process.

By August, she had left England for almost three months.

The meeting with the construction bureau this time was also located at Shine Group. However, Shine Group had sent other representatives to the meeting. Mo Jingshen was not involved. The entire process was unaffected by this, and all they had to do was inform the upper management of the decisions made.

That night, after the meeting, Ji Nuan was exhausted as she prepared to head home. After all, for the past half a month, she barely slept. All she wanted to do now was to take a shower and sleep.

As she stepped out of Shine Group, she abruptly noticed a Shen Mu parking his black Bugatti by the road. He indicated for Ji Nuan to get on.

Why was he asking her to climb on?

Ji Nuan glanced at Shen Mu in suspicion. Shen Mu did not explain and whistled to urge her to hurry. He was parked in an unusual spot, and cars were waiting behind. If he continued parking here, he would affect other people’s driving.

Ji Nuan thought that Shen Mu had something to say to her and could only approach. Shen Mu glanced backward and indicated for her to take the backseat.

She opened the door with suspicion and saw Mo Jingshen, who was sitting in the back.

Ji Nuan: “…”

She had wondered why Shen Mu was being so mysterious. It turns out he only wanted her to get in the car?

Ji Nuan pursed her lips and did not speak. The cars at the back were already honking at them. She got in the car.

Inside, Mo Jingshen only took one glance at her before leaning his head back. He raised a hand and casually tugged on his collar, loosening his tie and unfastening several buttons.

He must have returned from a business gathering and drank some alcohol earlier. Now that he was experiencing the effects of the alcohol, the long period in the car was causing him discomfort.

Shen Mu started the car. Before Ji Nuan could express where she was headed to, Mo Jingshen opened his eyes and turned toward her. He wanted to see if she was watching the view outside.

In the end, he saw that she was pressed right next to the door. The backseat wasn’t too big or too small, but she had forced a meter and a half of distance between the two of them.
