Chapter 328 - Mr. Mo, You Can’t Go Out—
“Why didn’t you feel embarrassed when you kissed me last night?” He pulled open his shirt so that she could see his chest dotted with hickeys.
“You bit me too!” Ji Nuan argued in a whisper. But she reached out and tugged at his lapel, buttoning it up one by one, but even when she fastened all the buttons, the particularly marked hickey in the middle of his neck still couldn’t be concealed.
“I did?” Mo Jingshen asked purposely and was about to lift open her clothes. “Let me see.”
Afraid of being turned on by him early in the morning, Ji Nuan quickly pulled back the quilt and got out of bed.
Mo Jingshen was wounded and couldn’t chase her, so he could not do anything but see the little woman running to the door with a flushed face and tying up her clothes.
Ji Nuan ran so fast that she forgot to take her cell phone. Before she opened the door, she heard her cell phone beside his bed ring.
She paused and looked back, only to see he was leisurely holding her cell phone and looking at her. She hurried back and took the cell phone from his hand. The caller ID showed that it was Xiao Ba’s call. She cleared her throat and picked up the call.
“Hello?”
“Boss Nuan, did you just wake up? It’s early morning in the United States, isn’t it?” Xiao Ba asked cheerfully.
“Yes, I have.” Ji Nuan took a look at the time. It was not early in China, or at least it was time to get off work.
“Recently, the prices of both housing and land in China are increasing, and our studio’s resources have attracted the attention of many large companies. Our conference room can hardly contain our customers these days, and many people have come for bidding. Sister Xia Tian said when you come back, we could consider moving the studio from Jinlin Building to a formal separate office building. Otherwise, those who come to us with money have nowhere to sit.” Xiao Ba laughed as she spoke. “Boss, before you come back, shall we find a suitable place to move the studio to in Hai City?”
It was after January, and the Spring Festival was coming. In the new year, the rising trend of housing prices in China had begun to appear.
“Oh, wait till I get back. You’re still at work at this hour?”
“Yes, Sister Xia Tian left earlier today and left some of her work to me. I’ll be off in about half an hour.”
“What did she do?”
Xiao Ba suddenly chuckled. “Dating!”
Ji Nuan: “…?!”
She frowned. “Who is she dating?”
“Last time she injured someone with a cane and was taken away by the police. The officer who interrogated her was transferred from S City and is a special force officer on secondment! Sister Xia Tian is from S City too, isn’t she? They’ve been seeing each other a lot lately~.”
Ji Nuan was still thinking of what Xiao Ba said when the latter said she was going to print some documents before getting off work and hung up.
Ji Nuan held her cell phone for quite a while before she understood. What happened? Xia Tian’s spring had come?
Xia Tian, who she had been worrying about, finally had a new romance. Unlike her previous life, she wasn’t with that scum.
But who was that officer at the police station last time?
The situation back then was too complicated for her to notice what the officer in the interrogation room looked like.
Tut, Xia Tian made news behind her back!
No wonder she didn’t send her text messages or harass her these days. It turned out that she had found a new object to harass!
Mo Jingshen leaned lazily against the head of the bed and looked at her face that seemed to have a ‘my best friend is about to be snatched away by a wolf’ look. “Are you going to move your studio to a new location?”
His casual words brought her back from her reverie. Her eyes hurried away from the hickey on his neck. She pondered and said, “Jinlin Building is only a temporary office location. It no longer suits us since we have more investors and bidding customers now. If we decide to move our studio, we may consider moving it to the vicinity of the Construction Bureau, and then it will be closer and more convenient for us to apply for approval in the future.”
“Ask Qin Siting to help you choose a site. He has contacts with the people in the Construction Bureau.” Seeing her look so serious, Mo Jingshen said with a smile.
“En… Doctor Qin? Will it be too much trouble for him?”
“He wants you to bother him—,” Mo Jingshen casually said. “Recently, Shida Group has made a lot of moves in China, and the Qin Family and Shida Group happen to be cooperating. He and his old love must be seeing each other all the time. It’s good to find him something else to do in these dark days.”

Afternoon.
Ji Nuan went back to the ward to take a shower while Mo Jingshen had his anti-inflammatory injection.
In the last few days, she had been very idle in the hospital, eating, sleeping, bathing, and accompanying her husband. She didn’t need to face the storm-like dangers she encountered in the past few days, nor did she need to work as soon as she opened her eyes like in Hai City.
But while she was taking a bath, she didn’t know that an unexpected guest had suddenly come to the hospital.
Mo Jingshen’s anti-inflammatory injection had almost finished, and K and several other men of the XI base had been guarding outside the ward area.
Not long after, K suddenly knocked on the door and came in. “Mr. Mo, Miss Su has come.”
Mo Jingshen’s face, who was still pale, remained calm and indifferent. “Didn’t Nan Heng tell you the people of the Su family aren’t allowed inside?”
“I know, so I didn’t let her enter your ward area. She waited outside for a moment, but seeing that we did not let her in, she left.”
Mo Jingshen closed his eyes again, when K suddenly remembered something, saying, “By the way, when Miss Su left, our men saw her go to Mrs. Mo’s ward area. There are some people on duty over there right now, but they know her and might let her in…”
Mo Jingshen immediately opened his closed eyes and stared at K coldly.
Being stared coldly by Mo Jingshen, K knew there must be something wrong. He immediately shut his mouth and didn’t dare to say anything else.
Mo Jingshen immediately sat up. Under K’s shocked eyes, he quickly pulled out the needle on the back of his hand, pushed back the quilt, and got out of the bed. However, his face turned pale due to the pain because the wounds on his back still hadn’t healed after the operation three days ago.
K tried to stop him, but he got out of bed. Despite the traces of blood on the back of his hand trickling down the veins as he pulled out the needle quickly, he walked out with a blank expression.
Seeing Mo Jingshen walk out of the ward with a dark look, K was shocked and quickly turned to follow him. “Mr. Mo, your wounds haven’t been healed. You can’t go out—”
