Did Mo Jingshen fall asleep on her just like that?
Faced with this unexpected predicament, Ji Nuan subconsciously wanted to push the man away.
However, the moment she touched his hair, she recalled the way he knitted his brows earlier. Shen Mu had mentioned that he experienced insomnia frequently in the past few years, and it had been a long time since he had a good rest.
Should her heart soften?
Without needing to consider, her heart directly answered: it shouldn’t.
Ji Nuan was silent for a moment as she felt the man’s peaceful breaths against her neck. She could only maintain her laying position on the sofa as she stared at the bright chandelier in the room.
Forget it, she would let him rest for five minutes.
After all, she had just returned to Hai City. MN Group’s foundation here wasn’t too stable yet, and she and Mo Jingshen were not known as a previously married couple. The feelings between the two of them no longer existed, and the unspoken words between them were mutually understood.
Since they had planned to reunite as strangers, she would treat him as a powerful influence in Hai City. After all, if she offended him or provoked him, her future days in Hai City wouldn’t be comfortable.
Taking Mo Jingshen’s face into account, she will not offend him.
She would give him five minutes to rest.
And only five minutes.
She slowly moved her hand away from the man’s hair, and with some difficulty, she shifted her arms back to her sides.
Although Mo Jingshen was pressing on her and keeping her from leaving, aside from being slightly rough when he kissed her earlier, he did not make any inappropriate moves. Even as he slept, he was obedient. His hands were only holding her waist.
When Ji Nuan’s phone fell by the door, she was not holding onto anything else. Every passing second felt as long as a year. In the first minute, she deliberated that she definitely could not allow any of the elites or old CEO to notice her when she left this room. Otherwise, in a space like the business world where inappropriate things frequently occurred, who knew what sort of conclusions they could arrive at.
Before their divorce, it could be said that the center of her world was Mo Jingshen. In the past, even all areas of her studio were dyed with Mo Jingshen’s radiance. And now, after their divorce, it was as though she had completely left Mo Jingshen behind.
She had her mentor and companions in England. She had benefactors and friends. For the past three years, she had taken every step entirely based on her own efforts. She did not rely on Mo Jingshen even the slightest.
Thus, she naturally did not wish to be seen by others. She did not want them to suspect if she slept with Mo Jingshen, or if she had gained her position through intertwining herself with various big figures.
No one would enjoy that sort of comment. It would destroy all of her previous hard work.
Besides, when they had their divorce, just as Mo Jingshen described, her life had returned to the original path.
It did not matter what sort of path that was, but their divorce was indeed an important break in her life.
She was still deliberating these thoughts in the second minute.
By the third and fourth minute, although the smoke from the small incense burner was still wisping upwards, Ji Nuan’s eyelids gradually fell. She blinked slowly and reminded herself not to fall asleep, but by the fifth minute, her eyes were completely shut, and her breathing gradually slowed.

A night passed.
The sound of water flowing could be heard in the bathroom.
Rapid, careful knocks resounded against the door.
Xiao Ba had stood outside the door knocking for up to two minutes before the door abruptly opened. Inside the room, the curtains were fully drawn, and sunlight filled the space. The man was almost completely nude. His handsome and perfect figure was smooth, and a white towel was wrapped around his bottom. He held a robe that he had abruptly grabbed in his hands. His black hair was damp and appeared dark like ink. The main point, however, was that his face was still ridiculously good-looking.
When he saw that a girl was standing outside the door, Mo Jingshen put the robe on. As he tied the robe together, he coldly asked, “Looking for Ji Nuan?”
By now, Xiao Ba had gone dumb from shock. Earlier, she had instinctively raised her hands to cover her eyes and face. However, her face still turned scarlet red. She carefully peeked through a gap between her fingers and only put her hands down when she saw that Great Boss Mo had put his robe on.
She shifted her line of sight inwards and saw that Ji Nuan’s bag and phone were on the ground. Her coat was also tossed over the couch, and even the hair tie that Ji Nuan frequently used was on the couch.
Xiao Ba swallowed painfully. Even without thinking, she could guess what had happened last night.
This was Mo Jingshen, ah…
If Boss had really slept with Boss Mo, no one would dare to make a single comment. After all, they used to be husband and wife.
But Ji Nuan clearly had no intention of contacting Mo Jingshen yesterday. Why would she come over early in the morning and… do this?
“C-CEO Mo, is our CEO Ji really… here?” Xiao Ba stammered through her question. She did not dare to look at Mo Jingshen’s face: “I gave her several calls, but she didn’t answer, so I came looking for her. Earlier, I met Assistant Shen Mu along the way. It seemed like he stayed up all night to play mahjong. He mentioned that if CEO Ji didn’t return, she might be in this room. I-I didn’t expect that CEO Mo, you would be here. I-I’m… sorry, I didn’t intend to disturb you. I only came to look for CEO Ji.”
Mo Jingshen was unperturbed as he fastened the knot around his robe. He glanced back in the direction of the bedroom. “She’s still sleeping.”
From these words alone, it sounded as if something had really happened between him and Ji Nuan last night.
If it weren’t because he was Mo Jingshen, Xiao Ba would have screamed, ‘pervert’ as she raised her bag to charge into the room to rescue Ji Nuan out. However, this was after all Mo Jingshen. Even from this distance, he was ridiculously good looking. She made an ‘oh’ sound and took a step backward with a reddened face. She quietly said, “Then when CEO Ji wakes up, please have her give me a call. I’ll wait for her in the hotel lounge.”
Mo Jingshen’s expression was cold as he kept silent. Xiao Ba continued stepping back when the door was slammed shut before her eyes with a ‘peng’ sound.
Xiao Ba leaned against the hallway, her heart thumping loudly in her chest.
It was not through a computer screen or a distance of several meters, she had accidentally seen the legendary CEO Mo in a towel in person. And they stood less than a meter apart.
So handsome.
Aaaah! Did Boss truly sleep with CEO Mo? In that case, wouldn’t they be able to walk as they please in Hai City from now on?

When Ji Nuan opened her eyes, she was slightly dumbstruck.
What was this situation?
Did she fell asleep?
She glanced outside the window. The sun had already risen.
She abruptly discovered that she was actually lying on the bed. She sat up and tore the sheets away to look at her own clothes.
Aside from her coat, everything else was still in place.
She then scanned her surroundings and confirmed that this was the bedroom inside the hotel room. But how did she fall asleep last night?
