Chapter 608 - Mo Jingshen Stopped His Steps, His Handsome Face Deadpan
When they finished playing Mahjong, that man got up and also went to Rong Cheng. Watching Ji Nuan count her chips attentively, Xiao Luye puffed smoke rings and mocked how childish she was.
“Only several million makes you so happy?”
“Yes, money makes me happy.” Ji Nuan put away the chips with a smile. “I won so much money merely by playing several rounds of Mahjong. It’s really easy money compared with the money I earned by flying all over China, talking business, and signing contracts. Why can’t it make me happy?”
Xiao Luye sneered and was about to get up when two dozen chips were thrown to him. He paused and took a look at it.
“These are what you just gave me, plus the interests.” Ji Nuan said, got up, and left the table.
Xiao Luye: “…”
…
This room was very large with several compartments. It was luxurious and well-equipped.
Ji Nuan went to the other side. Xiao Luye talked with someone walking past him and winked at her, signaling her to stay a distance from Rong Cheng’s men, in case they would pick on her again.
Ji Nuan turned around and was about to find a place to sit down and ask Xiao Ba whether she had booked the flight ticket from Beijing to Hai City. She didn’t need to stay in Beijing anymore and could leave at any time.
However, when she turned around, her eyes suddenly met a pair of eyes.
She stopped her steps and her heart jerked.
The eyes were so calm and dark. It seemed that he had been looking at her for a long while.
Mo Jingshen walked up to her.
Ji Nuan stood still, nor looked away, but the other people in the room all looked at them. When Mo Jingshen entered the room, they didn’t realize what happened because none of them expected CEO Mo would come here. When they finally figured out what happened, they saw Mo Jingshen had come up to Ji Nuan.
When he was only about two meters away from Ji Nuan, a person suddenly rushed over, grabbed his hand, and said excitedly, “CEO Mo, there you are! Come on, please take a seat here…”
It was the woman who tried to give a hard time to Ji Nuan.
Mo Jingshen stopped and lowered his head, his handsome face deadpan. “Take off your hand.”
Hearing his cold words and seeing his impatient look, the woman immediately withdrew her hand and dared not touch him again. She hesitated and went on: “CEO Mo, we didn’t expect you would come here today. Since it’s CEO Rong who invited you here, are you going to meet with CEO Rong alone…”
“No, I came here not because of CEO Rong’s invitation.” Mo Jingshen said without looking at that woman. When he caught glimpse of the chips in Ji Nuan’s hands, he frowned. “Did you play cards with them?”
Ji Nuan didn’t deny by default. Xiao Luye came over with a smile. “Oh, it’s not easy to meet you, CEO Mo. I accompanied Miss Ji to play several rounds of Mahjong. What are you worrying about?”
Mo Jingshen’s eyes were cold, but after hearing that Xiao Luye had been accompanying Ji Nuan even when she played Mahjong, he glanced at Xiao Luye and his eyes were no longer that cold.
Indeed, Xiao Luye could save Ji Nuan a lot of trouble here.
Xiao Luye came over and whispered to Mo Jingshen. No one could hear him, not even Ji Nuan, but they could see Xiao Luye gave a mystical smile when he whispered to Mo Jingshen and the latter remained expressionless.
The people in the room all looked at Mo Jingshen, wondering why this bigwig would come here. The Rong family and the Mo family didn’t have much contact. It was normal even if Mo Jingshen didn’t attend the Rong family’s birthday party.
After all, the Mo family didn’t have to give the Rong family ‘face.’
So they were surprised to see Mo Jingshen here.
Even more surprising to them, Mo Jingshen said straightforwardly that he didn’t come here because of CEO Rong’s invitation, but CEO Rong did send him an invitation. Wasn’t it equal to… slapping CEO Rong’s face openly?
However, Mo Jingshen didn’t look at anyone else except for Ji Nuan since he came into the room. Saying a few words to CEO Xiao, under the surprised stares of the other people in the room, Mo Jingshen took her hand and went away without even saying hello to CEO Rong.
He took her hand!
Mo Jingshen took Ji Nuan’s hand and left in front of so many people’s eyes!
Except for Xiao Luye and Rong Cheng, everyone else was shocked.
What was going on here? Wasn’t it said that CEO Rong’s sister fell in for CEO Mo? Now…
They all turned their eyes to Rong Cheng whose face was all dark, and the room immediately fell into silence.
——
Ji Nuan changed her chips into money before she left and happily saw the chips became money in her card.
Seeing the woman who had already had a wealth of over ten billion yuan still so obsessed with money, Mo Jingshen patiently waited for her without urging her to hurry up.
They walked out of the restaurant and Ji Nuan saw Xiao Hu waiting in a car outside. He poked his head out of the window and greeted Ji Nuan and the later waved her hand at him.
“Have you had your meal?” the man asked.
“I’ve had some cake. It’s so sweet that I’m not hungry now.” Ji Nuan said, walked to the car, and was about to open the door of the car when the man beside her opened the door for her, motioning for her to get into the car.
Ji Nuan looked at him. “I’ll go back to the hotel tonight to pick up my luggage and return to Hai City tomorrow.”
As if not hearing her, the man simply said, “Get into the car.”
Looking at his dark, deep eyes, Ji Nuan turned around and got into the car. Xiao Hu sat quietly without looking sideways and concentrated on driving as if he heard nothing. He was obviously driving to the hotel she stayed instead of Sheng Tang Hotel.
When they arrived at the hotel, Mo Jingshen obviously had no intention of leaving and told Xiao Hu to drive back to Sheng Tang Hotel.
Ji Nuan urged him to leave, but he said he would send her back to her room, and if her temperature remained below 37 degrees and she was fine, he would leave.
He had told Xiao Hu to drive away. How could he go back?
On the way to her room, Ji Nuan pursed her lips, didn’t speak and entered the elevator, and walked upstairs deadpan, ignoring the man beside.
When she got back to her room, she hurriedly found the thermometer and showed it to the man who obviously had no intention of leaving. “36.8 degrees. I’m totally fine.”
