Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing? - Chapter 714
Chapter 714: Boss Mo Seemed Like an Old Father with Endless Worries
Mo Jingshen accompanied Ji Nuan to shop on the little streets for quite some time; in the past, Ji Nuan always loved buying all sorts of little knick-knacks and it was the same now. Even though her memories were disordered and she wasn’t sufficiently conscious, her likes and dislikes remained unchanged.
They bought too many things and when they returned to the hotel, Ji Nuan was too exhausted to swim. She laid on the bed and curled up in the sheets to sleep.
Ji Nuan fell asleep quickly. Right now, she was truly a simple-minded big baby; she said she was going to sleep and she really did just that.
He watched her for a moment with a smile and approached to cover her properly with the sheets. He then brushed aside the hair framing her face and touched her head. He made sure that she was comfortably asleep before heading out to the living room.
He then received a call from the manager in charge of Shine Group’s tourism matters in Argentina. The man asked with fear, “CEO Mo, are we really terminating the Chinese tourism project based in Argentina?”
“En.”
“…I thought I had heard wrongly when I caught the news earlier; they said you’re terminating Argentina’s right to participate in the project.”
“You didn’t hear anything wrong. Handle it accordingly.”
“All right, I understand.”

Right now, Ji Nuan was completely unaware that Mo Jingshen could cook. Previously when they were in Yu Garden, Auntie Chen and the other helpers were always in charge of cooking up various delicious dishes and medicinal soups meant to aid her recovery.
By the time Ji Nuan awoke, it was nine in the evening. She tossed back and forth on the bed but could not sleep anymore, and turned to see that the living room lights were turned on. She tugged down the sheets and got off the bed, quietly stepping out of the room. However, she could not find Mo Jingshen in the living room.
Their suite had its own kitchen. Ji Nuan pressed her ears against the door for a while and seemed to hear the noise of the kitchen range hood. She gently pushed aside the kitchen glass door and saw the man standing before the counter to chop vegetables.
Mo Jingshen was still dressed in his shirt and long pants, yet he was seriously cutting vegetables. Ji Nuan stared at him dazedly for a long moment. When she finally realized that he was preparing dinner, she immediately smiled. She thought he could not hear her and sneakily approached, stretching her arms out to hug him from behind.
Mo Jingshen had noticed her since she stood outside the kitchen door. He paused his knife abruptly due to her sudden movements and glanced backward at the little woman holding him: “You’re done sleeping?”
“En, en. I was so tired after shopping in the morning. Did I sleep for very long?”
The man casually glanced outside the window: “It’s all right. Not very long.”
In fact, Ji Nuan had slept for five hours.
Right now, more sleep was good for her recovery. Thus, Mo Jingshen did not wake her up during dinner time. Instead, he estimated the time she would awake and arranged for the hotel employees to deliver some ingredients over. He felt that there was no need to request them to bring food. This way, Ji Nuan would be able to have freshly prepared food the moment she woke up.
Ji Nuan rubbed her face against his back and breathed in the scent on his clothes deeply: “Shenshen, you smell so good.”
Mo Jingshen chuckled softly and allowed her to hold him as she pleased. He continued chopping the vegetables rhythmically, asking mildly: “What is it? You’re so hungry after a simple nap. Do you plan on eating me up?”
Upon hearing this, Ji Nuan immediately opened her mouth mischievously and bit down on his elbow. She bit him quite firmly, but the man did not even frown. He glanced back at her: “You really plan on eating me?”
Ji Nuan stared back at him with wide eyes. “I said that your body smells good, but it’s not that kind of good. It’s the other kind… aiya, I don’t know how to describe it either. You just smell so good…”
Mo Jingshen smiled. As he had just touched the vegetables, he nudged her little head aside with the back of his hand: “Go. Sit down in the living room. There are freshly cut fruits on the coffee table. Go watch some television or use the iPad. I’ll call you over when the food is ready. Don’t stand behind me like a hungry ghost.”
Ji Nuan immediately pouted: “I want to be with you.”
Mo Jingshen’s smile deepened: “Then bring a chair over and place it by the side. Sit there obediently and watch me.”
“Okay!” Hearing this, Ji Nuan immediately released his waist and ran out like a loose horse.
When he heard her running movements, Mo Jingshen couldn’t help a frown. He called out: “Run slower. Don’t fall down.”
Qin Siting had said that, now that Mo Jingshen was accompanying Ji Nuan everyday, he was resembling an old father who had endless worries. At this moment, Mo Jingshen finally deeply understood the meaning of the two words, ‘old father.’
He really could not take his eyes off of her for even a second; there was no way to set his heart at ease.
Ji Nuan ran out and circled through the living room but could not find any chairs. In the end, she ran into the study and brought a chair out from there. The chair was quite enormous and heavy, and it took a lot of her strength to carry it. She moved it into the kitchen with some difficulty. By then, Mo Jingshen had turned on the stove and it wasn’t convenient for him to help her. He saw that the little woman was breathless and her cheeks were red, all for the sake of watching him cook, and he sighed with a smile: “Place it by the door. Watch me from there.”
“Oh.” Ji Nuan placed the chair down and sat down like an especially obedient student. She placed both her hands nicely on her lap and stared at him just like this.
Seeing her gaze, Mo Jingshen chuckled softly. “Did you wake up hungry?”
Ji Nuan nodded. “En, en.”
“The hotel on this island isn’t like the ones back at home; they mostly serve seafood. Although their vegetables and meat are fresh, the taste might be different. Tolerate it and eat some, en?”
“The smell alone is so good! I’ll definitely be able to eat a lot of Shenshen’s food!”
“You might have fallen ill, but your lips have become much sweeter.”
Ji Nuan watched him. “Before I fell sick, have I ever tasted your food?”
“You did.”
“Did I say that it tasted bad?”
Mo Jingshen furrowed his brows and glanced back at her.
It was true that she did not say so. However, she always appeared as though she was unwilling to have it; as though she didn’t really want to eat it. She never once admitted that it tasted good, but always made sure to finish every last bite. Each time, without fail, she would then lean back in contentment to continue performing her role of a little wolf with no conscience.
Ever since her return from London, it was even harder to hear any words of praise from her.
“No. You also enjoyed eating it in the past. But back then, I didn’t have much time to accompany you, so you rarely had the opportunity to taste my cooking.” As the man spoke, he quickly poured the prepared dish onto a plate.
Ji Nuan breathed in the fragrance and stared at the deliciously prepared dishes. She couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. She stared at it without blinking and asked, “It looks so good. Can I eat now?”
