Chapter 629: I Haven’t Showered, Do You Find it Disgusting, En?

Ji Nuan watch the man’s close face: “You’ve actually learned to show off your affections in front of others? Are you really Mo Jingshen? Who would have thought you would use such a senseless method!

The man lifted one corner of his lips, revealing a faint, patient and gentle smile that only appeared around her: “To prevent you from being bullied, aside from sending myself into your hands to be used as a tool to show off affection, I can also tear up this family from its foundation. These people are, after all, your mother’s relatives. Would you rather I used the most gentle method or the cruelest to take revenge for you, en?”

He sure was comfortable switching between gentle and cruel tactics.

However, it was true that without her mother, Mo Jingshen would never have stayed so quiet, nor would he have let them off so easily.

Ji Nuan understood his reasons and knew that he did have her well-being in mind. She deliberated over it and with a dark expression, she slapped his shoulder as though to vent her feelings. The man gave her an indulging smile, as though he was especially fond of her awkward, stifled appearance.

Finally, when Ji Nuan pushed him again, Mo Jingshen released her. He held her hands and turned to leave.

The two sisters watched as this unbelievably handsome man held Ji Nuan’s hand; appearing especially loving. Although they were standing silently in the front yard, various seasoning bottles had been overturned in their hearts, flooding them with all sorts of feelings with different tastes. They experienced jealousy, loss, and inferiority. They no longer felt the dark exhilaration from two days ago when they were planning to take advantage of Ji Nuan’s wealth, nor the high from successfully bullying a wealthy, young lady. It was as though karma had returned it all to them. Their eyes turned red from the sour sensation.

Ji Nuan’s aunt saw that they were really leaving and rushed over. Her tone was fawning: “Ji Nuan ah, didn’t you have a fever last night? If you’re not feeling well, don’t rush to leave. The journey home is too long. Why don’t you stay here for another two days…”

It was true that Ji Nuan’s fever had only just reduced; however, she had no desire to stay here any longer.

“Do you wish to stay?” Mo Jingshen kept Ji Nuan’s hand in his palm.

Ji Nuan found that when Mo Jingshen, this man, set his mind onto acting, his performance was truly excellent. His every action and every tone belonged to that of a husband who was obedient to his wife. Not only was his money and card in her hands, even his tone and attitude was especially warm and patient. Even the words he typically used had been replaced. It created the wonderful image of a husband whose sole purpose was to protect his wife.

She replied: “No. But grandmother’s health isn’t very good. When I previously accompanied her to the hospital, I found that her medicine were all cheaply-sold, counterfeit medicine. She is malnourished as well. Before we leave, let’s buy some medicine and food. We’ll deliver them to her hands before leaving.”

Hearing Ji Nuan’s words, her aunt’s expression immediately turned awkward. She did not dare to speak further and even took a step backward.

She naturally knew the story behind those counterfeit medicine. She had been the one to buy them. After all, this old lady was getting on in years. Since many years ago, she had stopped working. All day, she only ate and sleep. After her recent stroke, she even became paralyzed and could no longer take care of herself. Ji Nuan’s grandmother needed both money and people to care for her, and needed all sorts of medicine to maintain her health. Those medication were costly, so her aunt decided to contact someone to buy some capsules back from a black market. She filled the capsules with medicine that would alleviate internal heat; after all, those were entirely harmless and fed them to the old lady just like that.

She never expected Ji Nuan to find out.

Ji Nuan did not expect her aunt to feel any guilt. A lady in her fifties who would shout herself hoarse just to obtain a little benefit would never change her ways. But sooner or later, she would face karma. It was only a matter of time.

——

In the past, Ji Nuan was always easily soothed. With a simple embrace and home-cooked dinner, she would become content and docile.

However, when it came to the current Ji Nuan, it was much harder to please her.

Even someone like Mo Jingshen, who was typically well-prepared for any situation, couldn’t help but admit that this was difficult.

Ji City wasn’t large. Shen Mu drove out to bring them shopping, and after a forty-minute car ride, they finally arrived at a suitable pharmacy. Ji Nuan entered to purchase the medicine.

She had no plans to return to this home. However, although her grandmother’s character wasn’t much to admire, and it was clear that she was biased toward her aunt and against her mother, these medicines still had to be bought. As for the rest, Ji Nuan did not plan on caring further.

Ji Nuan shopped for various nourishments suitable for the elderly and only stopped when the car boot was completely filled.

In the morning and afternoon, she only ate a bit of the food Shen Mu bought back. By the time they were done shopping, it was past four in the afternoon. Shen Mu parked the car near a departmental store for them to eat before returning. After all, they planned to return after delivering those things. It was better not to give that family any chance to keep them for dinner.

Even if her aunt wanted to keep them for dinner, Ji Nuan would refuse to stay a second longer in that family with Mo Jingshen.

But since they were already near the departmental store, Ji Nuan scanned the restaurants outside. They were all rather small, so she picked the cleanest one.

She alighted with Mo Jingshen and walked with their shoulders next to each other. Ji Nuan glanced around, saying: “Who would have thought, great Boss Mo would actually show up in a small city located in the mountains and eat in a restaurant right next to a wholesale departmental store.”

Mo Jingshen: “How do I not look like a normal person? When I eat, do I have to look for a place coated in gold?”

“Not to that extent. But in this place, you really stand out too much.” Ji Nuan did not wish to smile. However, she saw that the surroundings here were dull, and because of the weather, the ground was muddy. The air even carried the scent of vegetables and tofu from a nearby market place. Mo Jingshen, on the other hand, was dressed in a suit. She guessed that he had rushed over to Ji City to see her, and knew that he hadn’t changed in two days to care for her. Even though he was still unbelievably handsome, at last, he no longer seemed as noble. He even strangely seemed more down to earth. As she spoke, she couldn’t resist a chuckle.

Noticing the woman’s gaze, Mo Jingshen did not show any change in expression. Instead, he reached his arm out and brought her into his embrace, pressing her head against his chest and forcing her to lean against his shirt. He lowered his head and deliberately spoke softly: “I haven’t showered in two days. Do you find me disgusting, en?”

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. I’ve also stayed here for three days without showering. At most, I only managed to wipe my body down. I even soaked in the rain last night and haven’t touched water ever since. We can be dirty together, no one needs to find each other disgusting.” Ji Nuan wanted to push the man away but he tightened his grip.

The man’s lips was right by her ear and as he spoke, his warm breath teased her earlobe: “Then before we leave, why don’t we find a place to wash up?”
