Before she finished speaking, the doorbell suddenly sounded. Ji Nuan paused and looked at the closed door.

Who would ring the doorbell at such a time?

They didn’t see any room service staff on this floor, and now it was already 8:00 pm when there shouldn’t be any room service.

Ji Nuan put down the thermometer and was about to open the door. Then she spotted that Mo Jingshen took the thermometer and took a look at it as if making sure whether she still had a fever.

Then her cell phone rang. It was from Xiao Ba and he picked it up. “Hello?”

“Boss, are you inside?” Xiao Ba’s voice was heard both in the call and from outside the door.

Ji Nuan. “…So it was you who rang the doorbell just now?”

“Yes!” Xiao Ba laughed. “I just came out of the bathroom on the first floor of the hotel, and I saw you entering into the elevator. When I ran to the elevator, I didn’t catch up with it. Now I’m coming up!”

Ji Nuan put down the phone and was about to open the door when she paused. Suddenly she raised her hand and grabbed Mo Jingshen’s arm. It was the first time she had touched him since she returned to China.

The man had just put down the thermometer. Seeing her movements, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise. Ji Nuan, without a word, pushed him into the bathroom without any lights on and hushed him. He looked at her puzzled.

Mo Jingshen: “…”

Ji Nuan closed the door of the bathroom without mercy.

Although there was nothing to hide, the relationship between her and Mo Jingshen remained unclear. Every time Xiao Ba saw Mo Jingshen, she was so excited as if her boss was going back to the Mo family soon.

What would she think if she found Mo Jingshen was in her room at night in Beijing? She would probably imagine a long, romantic love story. Ji Nuan really didn’t want to see that happen. Besides, Xiao Ba worshipped Mo Jingshen so much that she couldn’t wait to push her boss into Boss Mo’s arms.

Tut, so she’d better not let Xiao Ba see Mo Jingshen here.

Making sure the man in the bathroom was willing to cooperate and had no intention of coming out, Ji Nuan turned to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Xiao Ba looked around the room. Unable to see inside, she tiptoed to look in.

Ji Nuan’s eyelid twitched. “What are you looking at?”

“Is there anyone else in your room?”

“No.” Ji Nuan moved her hand away from the doorknob.

Xiao Ba came in with a small suitcase, looked inside and smiled. “You have been in Beijing with Mo Jingshen for so many days. I thought you two would be together.”

Ji Nuan glanced at the small suitcase in Xiao Ba’s hand and changed the topic. “Why did you suddenly come to Beijing?”

Hearing this, Xiao Ba turned around and explained, “When you called me today and asked me to book your flight, didn’t you say you had a fever yesterday? I was afraid you had no one to take care of you in Beijing. After all, you didn’t even bring an assistant with you this time. I was also afraid that no one would take care of you if you had a fever or illness on the way back. So I booked a plane ticket and came here after hanging up the phone in the morning. I have booked the flight for tomorrow. I will go back to Hai City with you.”

“I just had a fever, and it went down in a day. Nothing serious,” Ji Nuan said and took a look at the time. “What time is the flight back to Hai City tomorrow?”

“10:30 a.m.”

“Then you can stay here for one night and we’ll go back together tomorrow.” Ji Nuan said and was about to call the hotel reception to book another room.

Perceiving Ji Nuan’s intention, Xiao Ba said quickly, “Boss, you don’t need to book a room for me. Your room is not small. There is a sofa here. I can sleep on the sofa!”

Ji Nuan who was going to make the call paused and looked back, only to see that Xiao Ba had put the suitcase beside the sofa as if she were going to make do for the night.

Xiao Ba used to live in the same flat as Ji Nuan in England and even slept in her bed. She knew her too well to be embarrassed to share the same room with her.

Ji Nuan glanced inconspicuously in the direction of the bathroom and picked up the landline phone. “This sofa is too small and is not comfortable to sleep on. You flew here in a hurry today and would fly back to Hai City tomorrow. Taking a long journey for two days in a row, you need to take a good sleep. I’ll book a room for you on this floor.”

“No, this sofa is big enough. This is a double sofa. I’m small enough to fit in!” Xiao Ba said, pressing her hand on the sofa. “It’s comfortable! It’s no worse than a bed! Boss, you really don’t have to book a room for me. I’m here to take care of you and accompany you!”

As if not hearing her, Ji Nuan had already made the call, booked a room with the hotel reception, told them that Xiao Ba would handle the check-in procedures with her identity card soon, and then hung up the phone.

Hearing that she had booked a room, Xiao Ba, sitting on the sofa, looked at Ji Nuan’s back and sighed. “It’s really a waste of money. A night in this hotel costs at least three or four thousand yuan. You really don’t have to book a room for me. When I was with you in London, in the most difficult year, we could make do in a small flat. You don’t have to be so extravagant. I can even sleep on the floor, not to mention the sofa.”

Ji Nuan glanced at her with a smile. “How do I have the heart to let you sleep on the floor?”

In the bathroom, Mo Jingshen who had slept on the floor more than once not long ago: “…”

“Yeah, but now it’s different. We can afford better lives. It’s not as if you can’t afford to stay in a hotel like this on your monthly salary. Why do you talk to me about frugality?”Ji Nuan chuckled.

Xiao Ba held her own chin in one hand and smiled at her. “It’s because you are too nice to me. I just want to say that you don’t have to be so nice to me. I came here because I heard that you had a fever and I wanted to come to take care of you, but you just don’t want me to stay with you. Tell me, is it because you’re used to living alone these two years that you are giving me the cold shoulder?!”

“Oh, stop it. Your room is diagonally opposite. Someone will bring you the room card later. You should check-in, take a bath, and go to bed early. We’ll have to get up early tomorrow for the plane.”

Xiao Ba tutted. “Boss, are you driving me away? I can’t sleep now anyway. Even if I go to my room, I’ll have nothing to do except sleep. I might as well stay with you for a chat.”

Ji Nuan: “…”

This darn girl.

“I have been busy all day and I am very tired. We can chat on the plane tomorrow.” Ji Nuan waved at her. “Go to sleep.”
