Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

Xu Yao was left speechless. She knew that she was in the wrong and did not dare to say more. She bit her lip painfully, her gaze shifting in guilt toward the wine glass in Ji Nuan’s hand.

She was worried that Ji Nuan would really pour the glass of champagne on her.

It had been sufficiently humiliating when President Mo did it earlier. If Ji Nuan were to do it again…

Ji Nuan glanced at the puddle of wine Xu Yao had left on the ground earlier, before turning toward her: “I didn’t intend on making a fuss. However, I am someone who maintains a low profile when a low profile is necessary. Naturally, I’ll make sure to return an eye for an eye when revenge is necessary.”

Xu Yao immediately stiffened; flustered about what Ji Nuan had in mind.

The crowd watched as Ji Nuan swayed the wine glass in her hand and unhurriedly approached Xu Yao. As she came to a stop before Xu Yao, she lifted the glass slightly and began pouring it down her waist. Xu Yao remained still even after half of the glass was empty, and the champagne was gradually dripping down her skirt, Her lips had turned white from the way she was biting it, and her disbelieving eyes were fixed on Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan watched as the champagne dripped downward. Her gaze sudden flitted toward Ling Feifei, who was hiding behind the school leader: “It’s quite a waste for the champagne to spill this way. Does Miss Ling want to have a few sips of it?”

Her intention was clearly for Ling Feifei to crawl on the ground and drink the champagne that was dripping off of Xu Yao’s skirt.

Just as the crowd began to wonder why Ji Nuan was targeting Ling Feifei, Ji Nuan’s red lips moved. Her voice was unhurried, “Didn’t you enjoy taking photos of us secretly, posting it online, and slandering us behind our backs? You were so brave then. Why are you hiding behind the school leader now?”

The crowd’s puzzled gaze immediately cleared.

It turns out that the true instigator had been Ling Feifei!

Ling Feifei kept shrinking back, refusing to speak. Earlier, even without Mo Jingshen’s appearance, Ji Nuan and Feng Ling were sufficient to keep her wary. Now that Mo Jingshen was here, she truly did not dare to make even the slightest noise.

She bit her lip, hiding behind the school leader. As everyone’s gaze shifted toward her, she kept her head lowered.

The school leader knitted his brows and turned back to inquire, “You really did such a thing?”

Ling Feifei shook her head with force but did not dare to lie. At last, she shifted her pleading gaze onto Bai Wei, who stood behind Ji Nuan. She hoped that Bai Wei would take their relationship as roommates into account and help her.

However, when Bai Wei’s gaze landed on her in disdain, she only coldly curved her lips. Her eyes appeared to be saying, ‘You asked for it.’

In an instant, she became the target for public humiliation. Even though Ling Feifei’s initial goal was to ruin Ji Nuan’s reputation and for her to shy away from the anniversary party out of shame, the consequences were actually the opposite!

This was, after all, T University’s one-hundred-year-anniversary celebration. As the earlier episode only involved a small conflict between students, the celebration activities had to continue. Furthermore, because of Mo Jingshen’s appearance, all of the school leaders were radiant with joy. They introduced and recommended each other, one after another, to Mo Jingshen.

The final activity for the celebration was focused on the students. The school leaders and students participated in various indoor games, similar to those that would grow to become popular in ten years. They played games such as racing across pebbled acupuncture mats, jump rope, indoor tug-of-war, musical chairs, and truth or dare. As a result, the entire venue was filled with laughter.

The students in Professor Lin’s class first played a round of tug-of-war; Ji Nuan’s team won. Following which, they began a game of indoor short distance sprinting.

Ji Nuan took off her shoes and took a testing step onto the acupuncture mat; she immediately shrunk back from the pain.

This thing was even more amazing than the acupuncture massage mats that would grow to become popular ten years later. It consisted of many small pebbles that dug into your feet!

The referee’s whistle abruptly rang. Ji Nuan tolerated the pain and charged forward; she held onto her skirt and ignored the sharp pain against the bottom of her feet as she sped toward the finish line.

The finish line was less than sixty meters away. However, the pain was still ridiculous. When she finally made it there, Ji Nuan came in second out of the five competitors.

As she arrived at the finish line, Ji Nuan’s feet were slightly unstable, and she stumbled forward, abruptly landing in a pair of arms.

She raised her head to see that it was Mo Jingshen.

Earlier, she had been too excited and absorbed in the game and did not notice when he had escaped the school leaders. She also did not realize when he had approached.

Ji Nuan was standing barefoot in her gown, appearing slightly out of place. After participating in various games, her forehead was also covered in a thin layer of sweat. She smiled at him and borrowed his strength to stand steady. At the same time, she abruptly felt the envious and admiring gazes of the surrounding female students.

“Does it hurt badly?” Mo Jingshen had seen the way Ji Nuan gritted her teeth as she ran over. He lowered his eyes and glanced at her feet in concern.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. This thing is used to massage the acupuncture points on the bottom of the feet. Although it hurt slightly when I ran over, it doesn’t hurt anymore now that I’m not standing on it.” Ji Nuan quickly put her shoes on.

Ji Nuan’s stamina was weak. After playing for a while, sprinting right after a round of tug-of-war, her heart was beating faster than usual. Her cheeks were also tinted red, although it was unclear if it was because she had exerted herself, or because there were many people watching them. She stood properly by his side and decided not to participate in any more activities. She felt that she wouldn’t be able to stay in her gown any longer if she played further. It was really stifling hot.

“Here, you must be thirsty, right?” Bai Wei thoughtfully brought Ji Nuan a glass of champagne and a bottle of mineral water. “Which do you want?”

Before Ji Nuan could respond, Mo Jingshen took the bottle of water from Bai Wei. He nodded his thanks to her and opened the bottle, stuffing it in Ji Nuan’s hand. “You’ve already had three to four glasses of champagne tonight. You’re only allowed to have water now.”

Ji Nuan knew that her alcohol tolerance was low, and she only could drink up to three or four glasses. If she drank any further, she would surely embarrass herself. She raised the bottle and took a mouthful, releasing a breath and fanning her face. “Although there’s air-conditioning in the venue, there are really too many people in here. I only ran for a little, but I already feel so warm.”

Mo Jingshen glanced at Ji Nuan’s pink cheeks. His gaze deepened.

Right at this moment, someone across them was about to approach to speak to President Mo. He wanted to discuss if there could be any opportunities for cooperation in the future.

However, he did not have the opportunity to approach. The surrounding students and school leaders who were immersed in the activities also did not have the opportunity to recover from the festive atmosphere.

In the next second, the crowd heard a loud, piercing shriek. They turned back to see that the rumored to be cold and indifferent Mo Corporation’s CEO had brought Ji Nuan into his arms and bent down to give her a kiss.

Ji Nuan could barely keep up with what was happening. All of a sudden, the glaring lights had shifted in their direction. As she subconsciously raised her eyes, she noticed that Mo Jingshen had blocked off the piercing rays and the world had suddenly darkened.

Leaving only a warm and soft sensation against her lips.
