Although this little woman didn’t tell him, he could tell from her expression how she was worried about him. As Ji Nuan was about to walk past him, Mo Jingshen put his hand around her waist and drew her into his arms.
Being drawn into his arms, Ji Nuan was forced to cling to him. She hurriedly tried to break free from him, but he held her tightly by the waist and chuckled. “I thought you didn’t care about me, so I didn’t tell you, lest you would taunt me.”
This man could even control the course of her life. Was he pretending to be poor in front of her?
He thought she didn’t care about him?
She really didn’t care about him!
She did not!
But no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t break free from him. The man held her and seemed to be satisfied with her embarrassed look. He bowed his head, kissed her on the cheek, and then kissed her again. She was so angry that she tried to bite him. The man laughed and kissed her on the forehead as she lowered her head. Ji Nuan shuddered and glared at him. “Mo Jingshen…”
“Just admit it, Mrs. Mo. You still love me.”
Ji Nuan said with a straight face, “What are you talking about? Haven’t you already asked someone to buy me a ticket back to Hai City tomorrow? I’ll be back tomorrow. I don’t care if you live or die in America!”
The man smiled. “Your early return to Hai City will really set my mind at ease. Los Angeles isn’t a place for you these days. If you want to come later, I’ll bring you here myself, OK?”
Who cares!
Ji Nuan struggled again but still couldn’t free herself. He leaned against the wall, holding her in his arms, with an air of complacency, as if it wouldn’t take him the slightest effort to imprison her in his arms.
She struggled again but was finally forced to give up. Looking at his face close at hand and his pleased and satisfied smile, she felt her heart was touched and finally calmed down and let him hold her. After quite a while, she blurted out, “Do I have to return to Hai City tomorrow?”
His deep voice sounded in her ear. “What’s the matter? You don’t want to go back?”
“Since I learned you are not safe in Los Angeles, I am afraid I won’t rest assured if I leave alone.” He came back home only a few hours late tonight and she had not been able to sleep. If she couldn’t be assured that he was safe after she returned to Hai City, she may not be able to stay in Hai City and may try to come back at any time.
But she knew she could only be a burden to him if she stayed here. Unlike XI Base and Nanheng, she couldn’t do anything to help. Even if she stayed here, he would have to send his men to protect her and wasted resources on her.
It was, indeed, the best choice for him to make her go back to Hai City.
But what would happen after she went back…
If he didn’t reply to her messages or answer her calls again, what would she do?
She would definitely be worried sick.
“As long as you agree to go back to Hai City, I promise I will be back safe and sound within half a month.” He patted her on the back. “Trust me.”
Ji Nuan certainly trusted him, but she had not expected this situation before she came to Los Angeles, and had planned to return to Hai City in two or three days, but now she suddenly did not want to go back.
But she had to go.
She lowered her head, no longer backing up or struggling, but resting her head on his shoulder and saying with closed eyes, “Mo Jingshen, I would rather share the joys and sorrows with you. You don’t have to keep me behind you all the time. There are many things I can do for you, but the last thing I want to do is to be your weakness.”
But she knew she was his weakness.
So in any case, he had to get her back to safety and not allow her to be in any danger.
Mo Jingshen slowly raised his hand and stroked her hair. He held her for a long time before he whispered with his lips on her forehead, “When I woke up in the hospital in Los Angeles three years ago, I read through the dozens of messages you had sent me.”
Ji Nuan didn’t speak but only closed her eyes.
“One of the messages said you love me.” Mo Jingshen’s voice was low, light, and hoarse. “So, take back the words that you no longer love me. Your body is mine and your heart can also only be mine. Don’t escape too far. Please come back to me. I need you, OK?”
Ji Nuan still remained quiet.
“Your assistant called Xiao Ba said that in your first year in London, you often ran to open the door when you heard any sounds outside, and then stared blankly at the empty doorway.” Mo Jingshen asked lightly, “Were you waiting for me?”
Mo Jingshen had thought she would hate him, be angry at him, and perhaps never forgive him.
But when he knew her situation in her first year in London, he no longer worried about that.
No matter how resolutely she was, how callous and ruthless she appeared, he didn’t believe that she really no longer loved him as she said.
Ji Nuan remained silent and let the man hold her. After a long time, she suddenly took a deep breath and buried her head into his arms, whispering, “Mo Jingshen, let’s go back to Yu Garden after you come back to Hai City. I’d like to see what Yu Garden looks like after you renovated it.”
“All right.”
…
The next morning, Ji Nuan was sent to the airport on time and was about to go back to Hai City.
Mo Jingshen sent the driver yesterday to take her to the airport and two bodyguards to follow her. After Ji Nuan finished the security check and entered the waiting hall, she was told that the driver would accompany her back to Hai City and wouldn’t leave until he was sure she was safe back in Hai City. The two other bodyguards didn’t follow them in but waited outside the security gate, waiting for her plane to take off.
In the first class lounge, the driver had been standing by her side without leaving. All the people passing by that she saw were ordinary people carrying suitcases and ready to take the same flight as her. It seemed perfectly safe.
Until she boarded the plane, they did not find Atuta’s men.
Her luggage wasn’t much, but there was a laptop in it and it was heavy.
When she got on the plane, the driver was guarding her in front and planned to help her put her luggage in first. She walked behind him, followed by the line of people who were also boarding. After boarding the plane, she saw that the first-class lavatory was not closed. She had just spilled juice on her hand in the departure lounge, so she went in to wash her hands before going to her seat.
Just as she stepped into the lavatory, the door behind her was suddenly closed. There was not much space here and she found that there was another person in this narrow space. She raised her eyes sharply…
Although this little woman didn’t tell him, he could tell from her expression how she was worried about him. As Ji Nuan was about to walk past him, Mo Jingshen put his hand around her waist and drew her into his arms.
