Chapter 621: Mo Jingshen Saw That She Was Undressed Under the Blanket

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the unconscious state, Ji Nuan vaguely registered the phone ringing once more. She attempted to reach her hands out but could only touch the sides of the phone. She then rested her hand down weakly and did not move it again.

She was extremely cold, drowsy, exhausted, and weak.

Finally, when knocking noises came from the door, she furrowed her brows in her sleep and flipped over to glance at the door. Although it was nearing daylight, it was still difficult to see clearly. She could see the wooden door moving slightly from the knocks. The person outside wasn’t especially loud, and she was likely the only person who could hear anything.

Ji Nuan wanted to speak. However, her throat was aching painfully. She was staring at the door when her vision suddenly darkened. With the gentle shake of the door, she closed her eyes once more.

——

He had knocked on the door for minutes, but there were no hints of movements inside. Shen Mu stood outside in worry and turned to Mo Jingshen, who was dressed in a black coat.

The reason Mo Jingshen believed Ji Nuan was staying in this room was because there was a heavy rain last night, and the muddy footprints led them directly here.

A pair of shoes that belonged to Ji Nuan had also been tossed outside the door. It was soaked and covered in mud. She had likely feared dirtying the ground when she entered.

Furthermore, the other rooms were dark, but only the lights in this one were turned on. It seemed like it had been kept on for the whole night. After knocking for so long, and taking Ji Nuan’s typical awareness into account, it was impossible that she hadn’t heard anything.

Ji Nuan’s phone was also inside. Whenever they made a call, her phone would ring. Although the ringtone was soft, the familiar melody made Mo Jingshen sure that Ji Nuan was inside.

“We’ve been knocking for so long. CEO Mo, could Miss Ji have left without her phone...” Shen Mu saw that Mo Jingshen’s expression was cold and heavy, and carefully considered before speaking up.

“No. In such a place, she won’t leave her phone too far away from her.” The man’s voice was composed after the evening storm.

“But this door...”

“Break the lock.” Mo Jingshen calmly glanced at the locked, wooden door.

Shen Mu hesitated for a moment, before turning around to look for something to break the lock with.

There was no way they could hire a locksmith here. It would take up too much time to call the police, and in a place where the houses were built so close to each other, they would surely attract attention if they entered with too much commotion. If they stirred up any trouble, it wouldn’t be good for Miss Ji...

But this lock...

This door wasn’t as difficult to open as the common, anti-theft ones. However, Shen Mu did not have much experience. He found two steel wires and a thin wooden board, and deliberated the door for a long moment before attempting to unlock the door with the wires.

Shen Mu nudged the wires back and forth in front of the door, and used the thin wooden board to widen the small gap between the door.

Mo Jingshen stood by the side. His cold gaze was fixed on the wet and muddy pair of shoes, and the hint of exhaustion in his eyes was completely concealed by his worry.

Yesterday, he had taken an afternoon flight to return to Hai City. After two hours of meeting, he did not stop for any rest and directly rushed over to Ji City.

There was only one flight from Hai City to Ji City a day. Even if they made it to the airport on time, the plane would only shorten the journey by two hours. Thus, they decided to drive over through the night.

Ji Nuan was not fixated on her background. Her abrupt visit to Ji City meant that Ji Hongwen must have said something to her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have rushed here alone.

The wooden door in this sort of place was easy to open. However, shifting the wire back and forth still created some noise. If the person wasn’t completely defenseless, she would have already woken up.

With a soft, clicking noise, the door was unlocked. Shen Mu released a long breath. It seemed like if he needed an alternative career path in the future, he had some talent in locksmithing.

“CEO Mo.” Shen Mu tugged the wires out and turned to Mo Jingshen.

The man behind him glanced at the pair of dirtied shoes before stepping forward and decisively opening the door. He quickly entered the room.

Shen Mu did not dare to follow. After all, if Ji Nuan was truly asleep inside, it wasn’t suitable for him to enter. Thus, he was self-aware and remained standing outside. He scanned his surroundings and saw that the sun had yet to fully rise. Almost everyone here was still deep asleep.

The yellow light in the room was emitted from an old light bulb hung on a black wire. It wasn’t very bright but at least, it was easy to see clearly.

Upon entering, Mo Jingshen immediately noticed the wet clothes Ji Nuan had tossed onto the floor. There was also a bowl of uneaten instant noodles, and an umbrella. The ground was covered with water puddles.

On the other side, there was a simple, single bed. Ji Nuan was laying on it and she was covered by the blankets. She laid there unmoving, and had one arm reached out toward her phone by the side. She maintained this position, and her brows were deeply furrowed as though she was in great discomfort. Her cheeks were red, and her complexion was strikingly similar to the way she appeared when she had a fever in Jing City.

Mo Jingshen approached her bedside and felt her forehead. It was indeed very hot.

Every year, between summer to autumn, Ji Nuan always had to be cautious. Her body was vulnerable against the cold, and the moment she caught a chill, it would develop into a fever. The weather in the country had been blistering hot for the past few months, and she had only just recovered from a fever. Mo Jingshen could not help but wonder how she had managed to live in a humid and cold place like London for three years.

“Ji Nuan.” The man moved his hand onto her burning cheeks and bent down to call her name.

Ji Nuan furrowed her brows and could not open her eyes. However, she moved on the bed slightly, causing the blanket to loosen around her. With one glance, Mo Jingshen saw that she was completely undressed under the blanket.

He turned to the wet clothes on the ground, and easily guessed that she had taken off her clothes to lay down after soaking in the rain last night. The man’s complexion darkened. He bent down and brought the woman out of the sheets and into his arms.

Ji Nuan’s hair was still damp. The moment she leaned into his embrace, Mo Jingshen could smell the scent of rain water on her.
