Chapter 258 - She Is Not Just Mrs. Mo
The news that Mo Jingshen was married was like a bomb, shocking everyone present.
The girl who sat beside the principal seemed to be attracted to Mo Jingshen in the beginning. Now she hid her emotions a bit, but she still kept looking at Ji Nuan and Mo Jingshen as if trying to confirm whether he was really married or just picked a random woman as an excuse to reject her.
Seeing her looking, Ji Nuan thought it was the right decision for her to come today.
Otherwise, if the principal introduced his daughter to Mo Jingshen, things would have been awkward.
As everyone came and sat down at the table, the sophisticated directors of T University soon changed the topic after the shocking surprise. They were all engaged in the education industry, and most of them had been leaders, so they all basically talked about education.
One leader of T University poured a cup of liquor for another and said fawningly, “Director Chen, the excellent students we XX department enrolled this year are less than in past years. Please don’t give too strict requirements for our students’ examination results. As a department receiving little attention, we need our school’s special care.”
—-They mostly talked about topics related to T University and the education industry of T City.
Ji Nuan quietly enjoyed the food and listened to the conversation of these big shots in T City’s education industry. Two thirty-something men sitting opposite to her enthusiastically picked some food with public chopsticks and put it into her bowl. After knowing that she didn’t drink, they called the waiter to bring her coconut juice or a cup of lemon water.
Ji Nuan smiled gracefully at them and thanked them. However, at this moment, someone suddenly grabbed one of her fingers and pinched it.
Ji Nuan felt pain and tried to take her finger back but couldn’t.
She jerked her head around and cast a questioning glance at Mo Jingshen, sitting beside her.
Mo Jingshen held her finger with one hand, picked the glass pitcher close to him with another, and poured a cup of water for her. Then he got close to her and whispered, “Why did you smile so happily? What made you so happy?”
Ji Nuan: “You asked me to come here with you, didn’t you? I can’t just show them a dark face.”
The next second, the man pinched her wrist and exerted a bit of strength. “You just need to sit quietly and eat food. You don’t have to smile at other men.”
The two young leaders of the education bureau were almost mesmerized by her beautiful smile. If they hadn’t known she was President Mo’s wife, they would have been even more enthusiastic towards her.
“But I can’t just remain expressionless when I look at them….”
Mo Jingshen picked a slice of beef with chopsticks and put it into her bowl. “You just need to look at me.”
“You shouldn’t have brought me here if you don’t want me to see other men. You brought me here but don’t allow me to look at others…”
“Yes, I took you here, but did I ask you to smile at other men?”
“…”
She smiled at the two men who were total strangers to her for his sake. She was his wife. She shouldn’t be rude on this sort of occasion.
But since Boss Mo had prohibited her from smiling, she would just avoid looking at other men and smiling at them.
Seeing Ji Nuan silently lowered her head to take food, Mo Jingshen picked the peppercorns out of her bowl for her.
Their actions couldn’t escape others’ eyes, but they tacitly pretended not to see them and did not dare to joke about them, but now they were sure that this Ji Nuan was indeed Mo Jingshen’s woman. From the way they got along, they could tell the two of them were quite intimate.
However, the principal’s daughter, who was looking at them with a smile, suddenly turned her eyes to Ji Nuan’s face, saying, “How old is Mrs. Mo? It is peculiar for a married woman like you to enter school to study business administration.”
Ji Nuan stopped chewing, and then spent several seconds to swallow the meat in her mouth.
Mo Jingshen ignored her words too and picked a piece of codfish with his chopsticks and put it into Ji Nuan’s bowl again.
The atmosphere became a bit awkward because of the principal’s daughter’s words. Everyone knew that the principal of T University wanted to introduce his daughter to President Mo, but before he even tried, President Mo’s wife had shown up.
The room fell into silence. The principal was about to say something to ease the tension, when his daughter suddenly smiled and said to Ji Nuan, “Mrs. Mo, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Linda.”
“Oh, hi.” Ji Nuan hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth and coughed, because she was in such a hurry that she almost choked.
Mo Jingshen couldn’t help frowning. He nudged closer to her the cup of water he just poured with one hand and patted her back with another.
Ji Nuan took a mouthful of water and felt much better. Then she looked up at the principal’s daughter with a smile. “It’s said that the principal’s daughter graduated from a famous college overseas. Miss Linda, nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
However, no matter how polite her words sounded, the interaction between her and Mo Jingshen was so intimate that no one could get between them.
The principal’s daughter smiled. “Really? But I never heard that President Mo had been married. Maybe that’s because T City is far away from Hai City, we didn’t even hear such important news.”
Ji Nuan had been mentally prepared before coming, so she wasn’t annoyed by her. This girl was obviously very arrogant. As the daughter of T University’s principal, she must be surrounded and fawned by common students since her childhood, so she developed an arrogant character.
Ji Nuan didn’t answer her but just smiled, silently agreeing with Linda’s words that she was ignorant.
Beside her, Mo Jingshen glanced at the principal’s daughter who sat opposite to her and said flatly, “She is not just my wife.”
Everyone else paused.
Not just his wife? Were there some facts they didn’t know?
They knew Mo Jingshen wouldn’t be committed to one woman. Perhaps, they just had a contract marriage, or there was some complex relationship between the two of them?
Ji Nuan was also surprised to hear that and looked at him.
The room fell into silence again. The others were curious but dared not ask Mo Jingshen what he meant. The principal’s daughter kept staring Ji Nuan as if guessing what Mo Jingshen’s words meant.
“Really? Then it seems that I’d better call her Miss Ji…” The principal’s daughter glanced at Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan suddenly lost her appetite and put down her chopsticks when her hand below the table was suddenly taken by Mo Jingshen and wrapped within his hand.
“She is not only my wife, but she is also my lover. That is how much I love her.”
As soon as he said this, the room fell silent again.
