Chapter 485: She Read the Resolution of “Retaking Lost Ground” from Mo Jingshen’s Eyes

Outside the car window, the light rain gradually turned into rattling heavy rain. The rain fell on the car and issued a muffled sound from time to time. Hearing the rattling sound, Ji Nuan felt as if her heart grew moist.

“I think I should thank the rain. Otherwise, I don’t know when you would talk to me again since the last time I offended you,” Mr. Vinse drove and said with a smile.

Ji Nuan silently sat in the car and smiled.

When she left the office building of the Shine Group, she was going to take a taxi back to the company, but to her surprise, Mr. Vinse’s car was waiting for her outside.

At that time, the sky had been cloudy, and it was likely to rain soon. She didn’t bring an umbrella, nor drove her car here, and it was rush hour so it would be difficult to get a taxi. So, when Mr. Vinse asked her to get in the car, she didn’t refuse.

Sure enough, it began to rain shortly after she got in the car.

“How did you know I was here?” She asked.

“Tomorrow is the weekend. I’d like to ask you out, but I was afraid you were still angry with me, so I called Xiao Ba. She told me you were here. I happened to pass by, so I came straight to pick you up.”

“Did you wait for long?”

Mr. Vinse didn’t answer, but from where he had just parked and the other cars around his, he must have been waiting for her there for a long time.

He had actually waited for more than that.

Three years was long enough.

“You don’t have to put all your eggs in one basket.” Ji Nuan smiled. “Mr. Vinse, undoubtedly, you’re charming enough to attract many women, but my heart has long been dead. It’s not worth your while to waste your time on me.”

Mr. Vinse just shook his head, laughing. “Have you heard that I’m a celibate? Now there is finally a girl who I want to marry. I won’t demand anything from you. What happened last time was my fault. I’m sorry. I promise it won’t happen again.”

He had only kissed her on the cheek that day, but he had apologized to her many times.

“You don’t need to apologize. I forgot all about it. Just turn the page and forget about it.”

Hearing her say so, he didn’t mention it again. “I heard that your company has been in frequent contact with the Shine Group recently. Why is the meeting held in Shine now?”

With one hand on the steering wheel, Mr. Vinse said, pulled a delicate pink, sequined candy box from a glove compartment and handed it to her.

Ji Nuan looked at it and answered as she took it, “It was the government that required MN Group and Shine to take over the stadium renovation project together, and the meeting place was decided by the leaders of the construction bureau, so I did as I was told. I’ve just returned to China. If I want to have a firm foothold in Hai City, I cannot offend these bigshots and can only obey their orders.”

“You sound like you don’t want to go to the Shine Group?”

Ji Nuan fiddled with the sugar box in her hand, opened it, and looked at it. Without answering his question, she asked, “What’s this?”

“One of my colleagues went on a business trip to Japan a few days ago and brought back all kinds of souvenirs. I only took this box of fruit drops and put it in the car. I planned to let you eat one of them once you ride in my car. There are a hundred fruit drops inside. If you take my car a hundred times, maybe before the fruit drops are eaten up, you will be already mine.” Mr. Vinse gave her a playful look as he spoke.

Ji Nuan took a piece of sugar from it, peeled off the wrapper, and dropped the pink, heart-shaped fruit drop into her mouth.

“I can’t accept other presents from you, but I’ll take it for the sake of its beauty and sweetness. I will not leave it in your car. Since you said it was for me, I’ll take it with me,” Ji Nuan said and put the sugar box into her bag.

Mr. Vinse didn’t stop her but gave a triumphant smile. “It’s rare. It’s rare for you to receive a gift from me. I haven’t heard that you have a sweet tooth before. It seems that I don’t know you well enough?”

“I really don’t eat much sweet, but sometimes I’ll eat some. Everybody loves good things. When I’m in a bad mood, candy can help boost my mood.”

“Why are you in a bad mood?”

Ji Nuan was silent for a moment, watching the rain fall harder and harder outside the car, and didn’t answer.

Before Xia Tian went home to wait for the birth, she had a deep talk with Ji Nuan.

Xia Tian asked Ji Nuan if she hated Mo Jingshen very much when she got divorced. Or else how could she go so quickly and so decisively? If it weren’t for Xia Tian’s impending birth of her child, she wouldn’t have come back.

Ji Nuan said she did when she left three years ago.

When a person was really sad, they wouldn’t cry out loud or repeatedly attempt suicide as people thought. Instead, they would be calm. Even if they felt a heart-piercing pain, they couldn’t cry out. Once the pain was extreme, they would become numb. And from then on, no one else could enter their heart.

Three-years was enough for her to grow strong inside and enough for her to cover up all her negative emotions with a calm surface.

She asked Xia Tian, have you ever heard of the saying ‘Let’s forget our old grudges and when we meet again smile’?”

Mo Jingshen only removed her from their marriage three years ago and killed her once-living love step by step. And the most ruthless thing he did was taking back all the happiness he had given her.

So even if they met again three years later, she could smile at him, called him CEO Mo, take him as a stranger, and even work in the same conference room with him. He was just a business bigshot who she could not offend and no longer the man who had once belonged to her.

There weren’t so many rules for life. Everyone was living in this world. Living too extremely would make you lose the joy of life.

So instead of ostracizing him, she chose to be diplomatic with him.

But she still couldn’t figure out why he kept pressing on her after she returned?

Was it because he liked playing cat and mouse with her?

Every time the man looked at her, she read the resolution of “retaking lost ground” from his eyes.

Just now, she just wanted to take a nap but ended up being domineeringly carried into his office. He knew she was pretending to be asleep but didn’t expose her. She had to keep that stiff posture awkwardly and still felt sore all over.

Why would she suffer every time she met him?

Ji Nuan raised her hand and rubbed the back of her neck, crushing the fruit drop hard with her teeth.
