“Mrs. Mo, you still like Chinese food as before, don’t you? Would you like some minced pork congee?” Auntie Chen served the washed and cut fruit. Looking at Ji Nuan, who turned her eyes to her, she paused and said awkwardly, “I’m used to calling you Mrs. Mo, so I forgot that I should call you Miss Ji now. I...”
Ji Nuan smiled, picked up a piece of fruit, and put it in her mouth. “I’ll just have some fruit. You really don’t have to make me breakfast. By the way, Auntie Chen, could you lend me your cell phone for a while?”
“Cell phone?” Hearing this, Auntie Chen hurriedly took out her cell phone, but when she was about to hand it to Ji Nuan, she hesitated and took it back.
Seeing Auntie Chen withdraw her hand, Ji Nuan blinked and looked innocently at her. “Although I’ve got a new SIM card, my cell phone fell into the sea, and I don’t have one now. Without a cell phone, I can contact anyone. I want to call my company.”
“Well, my cell phone fell into water several days ago. It doesn’t work well these days, and its signal is not good. Mrs. Mo, I think you’d better use Mr. Mo’s cell phone when he comes back,” Auntie said and put her cell phone back into her pocket with a smile.
Ji Nuan: “...”
What did Mo Jingshen tell Auntie Chen? Now she didn’t even dare to lend her cell phone.
She should have thought that she wouldn’t have another chance to borrow a cell phone this day when she asked Mo Jingshen to lend her his cell phone. She should have asked Xiao Ba to pick her up yesterday.
It was too late.
Seeing Ji Nuan gloomily lowered her head to eat the fruit, Auntie Chen smiled and said no more, then went back into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her.
Minced pork congee sounded simple but was actually hard to cook. You had to fry the meat, make the ingredients, and cook the congee, so it would take at least one hour to cook it.
When Auntie Chen was busy in the kitchen, Ji Nuan reached out to her with a pitiful and innocent look and tried to persuade her to lend her cell phone for various reasons.
Ji Nuan said she hadn’t been back to work for days. He went to the company to attend a regular morning meeting. He had a business, so did she. She didn’t want to delay her work and asked Auntie Chen to lend her the cell phone for only one minute. She would just call her company and tell them something about work.
Seeing that Ji Nuan was in a hurry, Auntie Chen remembered that Mo Jingshen said he would be back by 10:30 pm. Since Mr. Mo was coming back soon, she just handed her cell phone to Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan quickly called Xiao Ba, telling her where she was, including the number of the building and the password of the elevator and asking her to rescue her as soon as possible.
Xiao Ba wondered why Ji Nuan was in Ao Lan International. She remembered Ji Nuan used to live in the Yu Garden and didn’t know much about Ao Lan International. Hearing Ji Nuan told her where she was so anxiously and asked her to find her with money and a cell phone as soon as possible, she thought Ji Nuan was in danger and quickly headed for Ao Lan International after hanging up.
Twenty minutes later, Xiao Ba arrived and stood outside the door ringing the doorbell.
Hearing the sound, Auntie Chen hurriedly came out, wondering why Mr. Mo didn’t enter the door but rang the doorbell. And Ji Nuan had run ahead of her to open the door.
Seeing Ji Nuan, Xiao Ba asked in surprise, “Boss, what happened? Yesterday you asked me to help you reapply for your ID certificates and today asked me to rescue you with a cell phone and money. Don’t you live in Yuehu Bay? Why are you here...”
Before Xiao Ba finished her words, Auntie Chen, who felt something went wrong, tried to stick her head out from behind Ji Nuan and asked, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Who is it?”
Ji Nuan continued to block her view, took the new cell phone and money from Xiao Ba, quickly put them into her pocket, and said all smiles, “It’s my assistant.”
When Ji Nuan moved her body aside, Auntie Chen finally saw a girl outside the door who looked simple and cute with a pair of round glasses and nodded, “Oh, your assistant, like Assistant Shen?”
“Yes, about the same.” Ji Nuan explained with a smile.
Although Xiao Ba didn’t understand what was going on here, she still politely nodded at Auntie Chen. “Hello!”
“Hello, have you had breakfast yet? I’ve just made minced pork congee. Would you like to come in and have some?” Auntie Chen said and stretched out to draw her in.
Xiao Ba didn’t know how to respond, and Ji Nuan stopped Auntie Chen. Auntie Chen wanted to keep Xiao Ba here until Mo Jingshen was back because she didn’t know why Xiao Ba came here and was afraid that something might go wrong.
She never expected that one day Auntie Chen would take sides with Mo Jingshen. She had to watch out for Auntie Chen!
“I’ve made a lot of delicious food. Your assistant looks so thin. She needs to eat more. Come on in, have some food with us. It doesn’t matter...”
“No, no, thanks. I’ve had my breakfast. I just came by to bring something to my boss...” Xiao Ba hurriedly ducked out.
“What did you bring to her?” Auntie Chen’s stare immediately fell on Ji Nuan and Xiao Ba’s hands.
Knowing that she should cover up for Ji Nuan, Xiao Ba quickly took out her wallet. “I came to bring CEO Ji some money. She has no money with her, so I brought her some money.”
“Oh, ok.” Auntie Chen believed her. She looked at the time. It was almost half-past ten. She took Xiao Ba’s hand, chatted with her for a while, and tried to pull her in.
Tugging back and forth like this for several minutes, the door of the elevator opened. There were footsteps behind Xiao Ba.
Xiao Ba turned around and looked at the man slowly coming up to her. Her mind suddenly went blank.
“Mo, Mo.... CEO Mo?”
As soon as Ji Nuan caught a glimpse of Mo Jingshen, the fire of hope in her heart went out in an instant.
Why did he come back so soon?
She hadn’t even been able to get out of the door yet...
Feeling the man’s gaze, Ji Nuan immediately looked away, turned around, and stood beside Auntie Chen.
Mo Jingshen had walked behind Xiao Ba. He must have just come back from the company. He was still wearing a black shirt and pants, his suit hanging casually in his arms, looking so noble, handsome, and cold. In his other hand, he carried a pink bag, in which an elaborate oblong box could be seen. In one corner of the box, it was vaguely written...” High-End Lingerie of XX Brand”.
Was this the lingerie Boss Mo personally bought for Boss Nuan?
Xiao Ba froze under Mo Jingshen’s stare.
So, this was CEO Mo’s place?
Boss had been living here these days?!
As if immediately realizing something, Xiao Ba grinned, quickly put the wallet back into her pocket, and said all smiles. “Hello, CEO Mo!”
