Chapter 711
When Yiyi turned around and saw Mo Jingshen gently taking Ji Nuan into his arms, her eyelids twitched hard and she suddenly felt as if faced with imminent death…
The clerks of the cake shop hadn’t got what was going on, and the manager of the shop had come downstairs from the second floor. When he caught glimpse of Mo Jingshen, he froze.
He had heard what had happened downstairs, but he thought it was just that someone was messing around here, so he didn’t come downstairs, although he knew what had happened.
Now seeing Mo Jingshen showed up here and seeming to quite care about this little woman, he almost stumbled when he went downstairs. He hurriedly came over to apologize, “CEO Mo, it’s just a mistake, a mistake. Our clerks were being stupid. There are many foreigners among the customers, so they’ve got into the habit of speaking too freely. I should have taught them how to talk to customers…”
Mo Jingshen coldly glanced at Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan didn’t understand why there was suddenly a U-turn in these people’s attitudes, so she just looked at them blankly and didn’t speak.
“CEO Mo, are you here to investigate the island project? Or do you have other activities here? Why didn’t you inform us in advance, so that we can be prepared to welcome you, but you…” Yiyi’s husband had a hunch something bad was going to happen, so he came up and said fawningly.
Seeing her husband being coldly ignored, Yiyi thought for a while and came to Mo Jingshen, saying carefully, “CEO Mo… welcome. This characteristic street is for tourists. Do you mind going to someplace quiet with us? There are so many people here and it’s not suitable for you to stay.”
Mo Jingshen coldly looked at her. “Who are you?”
Looking at his icy eyes, Yiyi felt her heart missed a beat. She took her husband’s hand again, saying, “I’m his wife… but I lived in Hai City for more than a decade when I was little. I’ve long heard of the Mo family and you…”
The coldness in Mo Jingshen’s eyes almost pierced through her heart. Seeing the way Ji Nuan talked to Mo Jingshen, Yiyi felt they seemed to be familiar, but then she thought maybe they were mere acquaintances and met here. They probably didn’t know each other very well.
So Yiyi said, “CEO Mo, when I still lived in Hai City, I knew Miss Ji very well. She is not a good person. You’d better not waste your time with her. I heard that she is an illegitimate daughter of the Ji family…”
“You heard?” Mo Jingshen coldly smiled and his eyes were unfathomable. He sneered. “Did she offend you?”
Seeing CEO Mo finally responded to her, Yiyi felt her guess was right. He actually didn’t know Ji Nuan well, so she hurriedly turned around and pointed to the nine-tiered blue cake that hadn’t been packed by the clerks. “No, she didn’t, but I ordered this cake and planned to gift it to my husband’s great-grandmother who is already in her nineties. We specially booked a nine-tiered cake, but Ji Nuan was so rude and insisted on touching it. This is food. How can she touch it! How can we eat it after she touches it? The shop assistant tried to stop her, but she quarreled with her, so the truth is…”
Before Yiyi finished her long speech, Ji Nuan whispered to Mo Jingshen in a voice that only he could hear. “I didn’t touch it. I know the cake is food. I just felt curious and came over to take a look. I withdrew my hand before I touched it. I didn’t touch it.”
Before Yiyi stopped speaking, Mo Jingshen indifferently glanced at the nine-tiered cake not far behind Ji Nuan.
The cake had so many tiers, so it had to be carefully placed on the cart. Otherwise, it would easily fall or crumble and the aesthetic effect would be affected.
He looked at the cake on the cart and then at Ji Nuan. This little woman was really aggrieved but didn’t reveal her real emotion, although obviously the good mood she had when she went out for shopping this morning had been ruined.
“The cake looks nice. Push it over here and let me have a look.” The man’s emotionless voice rang.
The shop assistant paused and didn’t know whether she should do as he asked. The manager dared not take his words lightly and hurriedly and carefully pushed the cart to Mo Jingshen, saying with a fawning smile, “CEO Mo, the desserts and cakes of our shop are very famous on this characteristic street. Although they are not cheap, there is a point for their high prices. Many technologies we use to make cakes are new and very fashionable. Look at the fondant skill. Common cake shops can never make such a vivid effect.”
However, as soon as the manager finished speaking, Mo Jingshen lifted his leg and kicked at the cart deadpan. The nine-tiered two meter-tall cake instantly tilted and the whole cake including the various fondant decorations all fell to the ground. The cart was kicked to the wall not far and gave a shocking thud.
“…”
For a moment, the cake shop fell into silence. Yiyi looked up at Mo Jingshen in shock, only to find his eyes were piercingly cold.
“Mo, CEO Mo…?”
Finally noticing the dangerous gleam in his eyes, Yiyi’s husband was rooted to the spot by surprise. Even if the nine-tiered cake had crumbled on the ground and the cream was all over the floor, he dared not say a word.
“Who gave you the courage to play superior in front of my wife?”
Mo Jingshen’s voice sounded careless but actually icy and full of anger.
Yiyi couldn’t help but shiver and her husband also turned pale.
Yiyi looked at Mo Jingshen’s cold, dark eyes in terror. As if finally realizing something, she turned with a jerk to look at Ji Nuan who still remained silent.
How was this possible?
Yiyi was so nervous that her palms were sweating. “CEO Mo, what did you say? Did I hear you wrong? You mean… your… wife?”
She began to stammer and prayed in her heart that she just heard him wrong.
The clerks of the cake shop also looked at this scene in shock and dared not even breathe.
