Chapter 73: What if My Husband Was Kidnapped by Someone Else
Mo Jingshen's eyes swept across her face, and he said lightly, "Qingcai."
"Oh."
Ji Nuan was a little embarrassed to draw a check mark on the vegetable plate, and he understood that Mo Jingshen prefers vegetarian food, so he ordered some other light things.
Then hand him the menu: "Do you have anything to add? I didn't order too much."
Mo Jingshen took it, but without looking, handed it directly to the waiter at the table.
"What do you two want to drink?"
"Is there hot water? Boiled water is also fine." Ji Nuan asked.
"Yes, I'll bring it to you right away. What would you like to drink, sir?"
"Same."
Ji Nuan immediately raised her eyes to look at Mo Jingshen, and silently remembered that Mo Jingshen didn't like milk. In such a healthy way, she must have figured out his taste.
The waiter turned and left with the menu, and not long after, Ji Nuan's clear soup pot was brought over.
In less than a minute, the steaming heat spread between the two of them.
"I was worried that you were not used to this kind of environment just now." Ji Nuan said while taking the glass pot handed over by the waiter, which was filled with warm water with lemon slices.
Mo Jingshen's handsome eyebrows moved slightly: "How do you say?"
"Hotpot, generally, people like you who have too much entertainment in the hotel on weekdays only go in and out of formal occasions, so you shouldn't be very partial to this kind of thing."
"I really don't like it, but it doesn't mean that I don't eat it." Mo Jingshen just smiled and didn't laugh at her topic that was about to go off track.
"Then do you like sweets?" Ji Nuan suddenly held her face, looking at the man's handsome face through the white heat.
He looked at her: "Is this going to start getting to know my preferences?"
Ji Nuan smiled calmly: "I can't help it, I suddenly feel a strong sense of crisis today. If I don't take the initiative, what if my husband is kidnapped by someone else!"
Mo Jingshen smiled lowly.
"I guess you definitely don't eat sweets." Ji Nuan said to himself again.
Because when he helped her buy glutinous rice balls and came back to eat them, there were a lot of them left, and he didn't eat a single bite. The taste was too sweet, so he probably didn't like it.
He raised his eyebrows, and she was right.
A hot pot meal was full of water and food, and Ji Nuan kept asking questions throughout the whole process, Mo Jingshen occasionally answered, and occasionally ignored.
It wasn't until at the end that Ji Nuan even asked what color he liked, and he couldn't bear to take this little girl who was suddenly studying and asking questions out of the hot pot city.
------
Ji Nuanwo watched the company information and various reports for two days at home, but did not go out.
During this period, Ji Mengran called two more phone calls, but she didn't answer any of them, pretending to be dead and ignoring them all the way.
Just the night before Father Mo's birthday banquet on the weekend, Ji Mengran's phone call came again.
Ji Nuan just came out of the study, glanced at the caller number, and answered the phone expressionlessly.
"Sister, haven't you returned to the Imperial Garden with brother Jingshen these days?" Ji Mengran's voice was cautious.
Ji Nuan's tone was slow: "I didn't reply, what's the matter? Did you go to Yuyuan to find us?"
"I... I was having a party with my classmates in the afternoon, and when I passed by Yuyuan, I wanted to go in and find you, but Sister Chen said that you and brother Jingshen haven't returned to Yuyuan recently."
Passing by the Imperial Garden?
Yuyuan is located in the south of Haicheng, and it is in a quiet location. No matter where Ji Mengran went before, it is impossible to pass by Yuyuan if he wants to go back to Ji's house.
"It's true that I didn't go back to live. Your brother-in-law and I have been in a small world for two recently, and it will probably take some time before Yuyuan can go back." Ji Nuan said with a warm smile.
Ji Mengran over there seemed to pause for a moment because of her answer. After a moment of silence, he asked cautiously, "Where do you and brother Jingshen live recently? I'll find you!"
"Can't I see you at Mo's house tomorrow? Why are you looking for me in such a hurry today?" Ji Nuan was too lazy to pretend to be enthusiastic, and declined in a cool tone: "I'll talk about it tomorrow,
I'm still busy. "
"I brought you something good, sister, let me find you if it's convenient for you." Ji Mengran insisted.
Ji Nuan pondered for a while, but wanted to see what she was selling. Tomorrow is Grandpa Mo's birthday. Ji Mengran has been contacting her so earnestly these two days.
...
An appointment with Ji Mengran at a dessert shop, Ji Nuan never revealed where she lives now.
When he arrived at the dessert shop, Ji Mengran saw Ji Nuan sitting by the window, drinking milk tea and looking at his mobile phone, and walked in.
Ji Nuan just pretended not to see her, and stared at the news just brushed down on the screen of the mobile phone, seemingly unprepared, when Ji Mengran walked to the table, she just said warmly and coolly: "Sit down, What's the matter?"
She was too lazy to give Ji Mengran too many good looks, and she didn't need to pretend to be a sister.
Ji Mengran pushed her an exquisite square box: "Didn't you say before that you want to send a chessboard to Mr. Mo? I asked my dad for a long time, and he finally agreed to give me the chessboard. Sister, you will give it to Grandpa Mo tomorrow. Send this."
Ji Mengran didn't know that the chess manual had been obtained last time.
Ji Nuan didn't lift her head, she still looked at her phone, her voice was cold and clear, with a distant alienation: "Grandpa Mo's birthday, you have always been very concerned about it."
Ji Mengran's good sister looked like she naturally wanted to think about her sister: "You are my sister after all, and brother Jingshen is also very good to me, so I will always do my part for you."
"Really?" Ji Nuan put down the phone and looked at Ji Mengran lightly.
For a moment, Ji Mengran looked at her cold eyes with a little trepidation: "Sister, you have really separated from me a lot recently, Yuyuan won't let me go, and now even your new residence is not there. Don't tell me, what are you guarding against?"
Ji Nuan glanced at the box on the table, reached out and opened it, and saw that it was indeed the jade chessboard from the early Tang Dynasty that my father had kept for many years.
It's true, it's really weird...
Ji Nuan closed the box, curled her pale fingers slightly, and tapped her knuckles on the glass table casually twice: "Why are you always suspicious lately? Could it be that you really did something, sorry for me? thing?"
The natural expression on Ji Mengran's face almost froze: "How could I do something sorry for you, you are my sister, my own sister!"
Ji Nuan's eyes fell back to the phone again, and her tone was calm and calm: "Why don't you have it? What are you always worried about if you haven't done anything wrong?"
"I...my...just ask...I'm afraid you have too much relationship with me. Since I think too much, then I won't ask."
Ji Nuan was cold and didn't answer.
After about ten minutes, Ji Mengran found a reason to leave.
Ji Nuan didn't even look at the chessboard on the table, she still stared at the screen in her hand, and checked the historical data related to this jade chessboard. After that, a smile appeared in the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were clear. Can't see the slightest concern.
