The local property business would begin to show an increasingly upward trend . Both she and BGY's old CEO shared their viewpoints and a.n.a.lyses on this .

Every comment Ji Nuan gave was on point, leading BGY's old CEO to look forward to their next collaboration .

As their conversation livened up, the phone placed on the conference table began to vibrate . Ji Nuan hung up the call without looking at the caller's ID . She then smiled and continued their frank conversation .

Inside Zi Jing Cheng Club, Mo Jingshen listened to the disconnected tone, glancing at the phone screen .

Nan Heng watched the man as he moved to step out of the private room with the phone in his hand . His smiled mischievously . “What expression is that? Could it be Ji Nuan hung up on you?”

Mo Jingshen did not speak .

The little woman had really learned to hang up on him?

He began to consider what Qin Siting had brought up earlier; about allowing Ji Nuan to grow her own wings to soar .

At twenty-years-old, Ji Nuan still had a lot of s.p.a.ce to learn and improve . If one day, she was to mature and become a changed woman, transforming into a CEO Ji he could no longer keep hold of…

Mo Jingshen narrowed his eyes slightly…

Qin Siting continued drinking lazily on a square sofa by the other side . He lightly swirled the brandy in his gla.s.s and chuckled . “Ji Nuan is really the first person to have the guts to hang up your call . When she comes, I'll have to praise her well . She really did well!”

After a moment, Qin Siting continued . “It's not early anymore, something might have happened . Do you want to go check on her?”

Nan Heng glanced at the time . “With Feng Ling by her side, nothing will happen . She definitely hung up . I placed my most capable a.s.sistant by his woman's side . If anything goes wrong, wouldn't that waste my years of cultivating her?”

Mo Jingshen walked over and kicked away the leg Nan Heng had placed on the coffee table . He then sat on the sofa and calmly said, “If you didn't send Feng Ling away, you probably would have died in her hands . ”

Nan Heng choked on a mouthful of smoke . His eyes reddened from coughing before he rasped, “What the f.u.c.k do you mean by that?”

Mo Jingshen sneered . “It seems like you've really been too idle recently . ”

“So what? Because I'm idle, you want to fight me?” Nan Heng narrowed his eyes as he held the cigarette in his mouth .

“Please don't . If you want to kill one another, stay further away from me . I don't want to drag two heavily injured men back to the hospital in the middle of the night . It wasn't easy for your old man to avoid the night s.h.i.+ft today . ” Qin Siting coldly sneered .

Half an hour later, Ji Nuan finally appeared at Zi Jing Cheng Club .

She was directed to the private room by a security guard . As she pushed open the door, she noticed that the room was extremely large; there were sofas, coffee tables, microphones, and even facilities that only high-cla.s.s luxury parties would have . Nothing was lacking .

Only three people were sitting inside .

Mo Jingshen, Nan Heng, and Qin Siting .

Qin Siting could be considered a familiar person to her, but Nan Heng was someone she frequently heard of but never met . Apparently, he typically spent more time in America and dabbled in the weapon business . He first became wealthy and influential in Hai Cheng before he rose to fame in America .

The moment she pushed the door open, Mo Jingshen calmly s.h.i.+fted his gaze onto her and said, “Nuan Nuan, come and sit here . ”

Ji Nuan nodded and was about to approach when she abruptly noticed Nan Heng's repulsed expression . He looked as though he was covered in gooseb.u.mps .

“I say, the both of you, you can kiss and touch as you please at home, but can you please take note when you're in a public place?” Nan Heng coldly scolded .

After knowing Mo Jingshen for so many years, he had honestly never seen him take so much initiative . Without any intimate or pa.s.sionate gestures, he had already stepped past the limit they were used to .

Mo Jingshen coldly glanced at him . “Move your leg aside . ”

Nan Heng . “…”

He especially felt like scolding someone but resisted the urge to do so . Nan Heng's legs were indeed blocking Ji Nuan's path . He glanced at her, retrieving his leg, and at the same time, s.h.i.+fting his gaze out the door .

After sending Ji Nuan in, Feng Ling stood diligently outside . She turned around to stand with the several bodyguards there .

“What are you standing outside for? Come in . ” Nan Heng's voice was icy cold and commanding .

Ji Nuan also planned to let Feng Ling enter . However, Feng Ling did not move to do so . She sat down by Mo Jingshen's side and said to Feng Ling who stood there, “That's right . Come in, you're not an outsider . ”

Feng Ling remained outside and did not speak . Her gaze s.h.i.+fted past Nan Heng; it was only a simple, indifferent glance . She did not greet her ex-boss and instead moved her eyes back to Ji Nuan . “This sort of occasion isn't suited for me . Mrs . Mo, I'll guard outside . If there's anything you need, just call for me . ”

After she finished her words, she directly closed the door .

The private room was filled with a strange silence . Ji Nuan was already used to Feng Ling's cold and stubborn temper . Seeing the door was already shut, she did not insist further .

Mo Jingshen glanced at Ji Nuan's face and pa.s.sed her the drink menu from the coffee table . “What do you want to drink?”

Ji Nuan lowered her head to scan the menu, before glancing at all the alcohol on the coffee table . She smiled and said, “There's no need to trouble yourself . There's still lots of alcohol; I'll just drink with you guys . ”

In the end, Mo Jingshen took the menu back from her and pressed the call b.u.t.ton for the waiter to enter . He ordered a gla.s.s of warm fruit juice and a plate of fruit .

As the waiter walked away with the menu, Mo Jingshen said, “I've said it before . Don't even think about touching alcohol in the future . ”

“It's not as if I'll drink a lot…”

“Not even a sip . ”

Since the moment Feng Ling shut the door, Nan Heng's expression had been heavy . Now, he even had to listen to the two showing-off their affections like maniacs .

He could not resist as he gave Ji Nuan a side-glance, coldly mocking . “Earlier on, didn't this extremely daring woman hang up your call? Within the blink of an eye, she became your sweetheart again? Even a gla.s.s of fruit juice has to be warmed up, just how delicate is she?”

Qin Siting unhurriedly poured himself more alcohol . “I've already become experienced with this . You'll have to further adjust to it . However, from a medical perspective, women should avoid drinking a lot of cold drinks . Drinking more warm beverages is good for the body . ”

Nan Heng narrowed his eyes and sneered . “You must have been tormented harshly . Your mind is so confused you're about to wave your flag to cheer this little couple on . ”

Qin Siting maintained his lazy smile . “Do you think it has been easy for me, your brother? I think I have Stockholm syndrome after being tormented for too long . I'm used to it now . If they don't torture me for two days, something feels amiss . ”

Nan Heng leaned back against the sofa, redirecting the target as he coldly said, “You wish to be tormented so badly? Sure, I'll grant your wish . ”

Qin Siting raised his eyes to look at him . “Grant what wish?”

Nan Heng s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the door as he meaningfully said . “You'll understand soon enough . ”
