Chapter 506: I’ve Never Seen the World ‘Regret’ on You

Upon falling back on the bed, Ji Nuan quickly sat back up.

Mo Jingshen did not intend to do anything to her. The man kept the medicine in his hands away. He was still wearing the same clothes from before, and his neat and tidy appearance indicated that he had yet to shower, nor did he plan on resting early. His aura was cold and charming, but it did not carry any scent of desire.

She had always known about this man’s composure and restraint. Once, when Mo Shaoze tried to bring him together with An Shuyan, he had also employed such a method. Back then, Mo Jingshen did not show any desire. Thus, it was likely that the small whiff of the drug wouldn’t have much effect on him.

Mo Jingshen placed the medicine box aside, and, as though he finally had the time, he lowered his gaze to look at the woman sitting at the bedside.

The moment their eyes met, Ji Nuan felt her nerves tightening. She stood up from the bed. “These are only surface wounds. I don’t need any more care. The medicine has already been applied. I’ll head back now.”

He glanced at her barefooted appearance. His handsome face was unperturbed as he stated: “Put shoes on.”

“My shoes are outside.”

Mo Jingshen indicated toward the shoe shelf with his gaze. Ji Nuan lagged for a moment before reacting. She opened the shoe shelf by the door and suddenly saw the pair of pink slippers she had worn once or twice in the past. It appeared as good as new.

She paused.

Looking at the pair of slippers, it was as though nothing had changed in the past three years.

She opened her mouth. “Mo Jingshen, right now, I really want to know. After you decided that you didn’t want me, could it be that you regretted your decision?”

The man was already standing behind her. He calmly brought the pink slippers out and handed them to her. “What do you think?”

Hearing those words, Ji Nuan received the slippers and answered mildly: “Perhaps not. I’ve never seen the word ‘regret’ on you.”

The man glanced at the slippers she was wearing. “Wear them back. It isn’t early anymore. Go to sleep.”

His tone was gentle, as though the two of them were chatting about a common topic.

Ji Nuan composed herself and turned back to eye him: “Back when Grandfather Mo beat you up, why did you…”

“The effect of the drug hasn’t fully faded. If you’re sure you’ll be able to handle me when I lose control, you can continue standing there. But I can’t promise how long I can hold onto my restraint,” the man cut her off. His tone did not change, but his voice was slightly heavy and hoarse.

Ji Nuan’s expression faltered. She abruptly opened the door and took rapid steps to leave. She did not stay for a moment longer.

Late at night, Ji Nuan tossed and turned in bed. She fell asleep with much difficulty but was abruptly woken up by a phone call at four in the morning.

When she saw that it was a call from Yan Ge, she knitted her brows. Why was this brat calling her at this time?

Ji Nuan answered the call and placed the phone in her ears. She remained lying on the bed and spoke with her eyes shut: “What’s going on? Why are you calling me at such a time? Are you sleepwalking?”

“Sister Nuan, I’m really sorry for waking you up, but there’s suddenly an emergency mission for the SWAT unit. They’re calling everyone back right now. The Mo family is too far away from the city, and I can’t call a car at this time. I might need to borrow your car to rush back,” Yan Ge’s voice had a rare hint of seriousness. It seemed like he really had an urgent mission.

Yan Ge wasn’t as free as Feng Ling. After all, he belonged to the SWAT unit. Even as he acted as a bodyguard by her side, he needed to follow the orders from above. He had to be prepared to return whenever some serious cases or missions required help.

“All right, come to the first floor of the villa I’m at. I’ll throw the keys to you from the window.”

“All right, I’ll have to trouble you then, Sister Nuan.”

Ji Nuan sat up and found her car keys from her bag. A moment later, Yan Ge made his way downstairs. She pushed open her window to glance at him. Surprisingly, his typically cheerful and sunshine demeanor, akin to a big child, had disappeared and was replaced by a stern expression.

Ji Nuan tossed the keys down. He raised his hand in thanks while Ji Nuan waved hers to urge him to leave. She turned around and returned to bed to sleep.

The next day, at seven in the morning, Ji Nuan woke up and abruptly thought: If Yan Ge had driven the car away, how would she return?

—-

As expected, Ji Nuan needed to rush back to MN Group, while Mo Jingshen was also preparing to head back to the company now that Elder Mo’s health had improved.

With Elder Mo around, Ji Nuan had no choice but to take Mo Jingshen’s car.

As the black Ghost drove out of the Mo family, the elder kept waving with a bright smile from behind. He called for Ji Nuan to return frequently to visit him. Finally, when the windows went up, Ji Nuan kept away her smile and fixed her gaze ahead. She did not look at the man who was driving.

It was quiet in the car. When they had breakfast earlier, with one glance, Ji Nuan was able to guess that the effect of the drug on Mo Jingshen had faded. Right now, the man’s light and distinct scent was even more present in the car.

As the car drove into the periphery of Hai City, they abruptly heard the sirens of several police cars.

Most of the cars by the side were forced to stop. There were also quite some cars by the roadside that had suffered collisions. The air seemed to carry the scent of smoke and gunpowder.

As the neared the area, they saw several police cars and SWAT officers dressed in their uniforms and holding onto their guns. Mo Jingshen slowed the car speed down and turned his gaze in that direction.

It seemed like an intense police chase had happened here. There were also several puddles of blood on the ground.

Ji Nuan saw it as well.

If it had been before, the sight of the blood and the officers holding their guns would surely have startled her. However, ever since the life-and-death experience in Cambodia, she was no longer affected by the sight of these things. She only felt suspicious: “Yesterday, Yan Ge said that there was an emergency mission for the SWAT unit. Could it be this…”

Mo Jingshen had already stopped the car by the nearest police car. The officer guarding the place needed to search every passing car. As the windows rolled down, the police officer glanced at the both of them and took a look inside. He also noted down the car plate number on the notepad in his hands while saying: “If you wish to enter the city, it’s best if you take the longer path. The police are currently tracking down a group of kidnappers who are armed with guns. To protect the citizens’ safety, quite a few roads have already been closed.”

“Can we directly enter the western city district from here?” Ji Nuan asked.

The officer glanced at her. “The roads leading into the western city district have been completely sealed. Right now, there are still quite some vehicles and pedestrians affected by the chase and the gunshots. If you don’t wish to meet with trouble, obediently take the long road through the highway. The kidnappers are armed with guns, and their methods are ruthless. The police will probably conduct a full search through the whole city tonight. Return to where you should go and avoid heading out. Watch your own safety well.”
