“I heard that although Ji City is small, it leans close to the mountains and rivers. A small city like this has its own benefits. There are many hot spring hotels available. Although they aren’t as well-constructed as the ones in Jing City, the natural hot springs are far more superior.” The man’s low chuckle was right by her ear. Ji Nuan could even feel his palm rubbing her back gently.
From an outsider’s point of view, they seemed like a couple whispering to each other intimately. However, Ji Nuan keenly sensed the hint in the man’s voice.
They had already left Jing City, yet he was still dreaming of the hot spring hotel.
This man had clearly noticed that her temper today was softer and that she was no longer butting heads with him. He was taking advantage of the opportunity to tease her.
She narrowed her eyes at him. However, even when this man was trying to tease her, the moment she met his gaze, she could see that his composed and distant eyes were filled with her image. It was as though all of the jokes and teasing had disappeared and were filled with his sincerity.
She rolled her eyes and entered the restaurant ahead.
Seeing that this woman wouldn’t take both soft and hard tactics, Mo Jingshen sighed with a smile.
It was a simple restaurant but thankfully it was clean and relatively empty. After having a meal, the two did not rush to leave; the weather was gloomy and a rainstorm was likely to happen soon. It would be better to wait it out and drive when the road was safer.
Mo Jingshen glanced at the weather and saw that it was about to rain. He asked softly: “Do you want to head back now, or wait for the rain to stop?”
Ji Nuan turned to look out of the windows. She deliberated over it before saying lazily: “Let’s wait for the rain to pass. This storm won’t be small. It doesn’t seem like there’s anywhere we can shop here, or any places worth visiting. I’m not sure how long the rain will take to pass. Why don’t we look for a nearby cafe to pass the time?”
“Drink less coffee.”
Ji Nuan: “...”
Indeed, she drank a lot of coffee in the past few years. But Mo Jingshen himself seemed to be the same.
When there was no need to pull an all-nighter, she wasn’t especially addicted to coffee. However, she couldn’t just sit here for a whole afternoon with Mo Jingshen to face a few empty plates.
“There’s a market inside. I’ll accompany you shopping.”
Ji Nuan, once more: “...”
It wasn’t easy for men to initiate shopping with women. Right now, this man was obviously trying to please her. It was likely that he couldn’t come up with anything more romantic in this place; even the method he chose was realistic.
Ji Nuan was also a woman. Although she enjoyed buying things, she wasn’t especially fond of strolling through markets. At this moment, however, she suddenly felt the urge to shop.
Ji Nuan glanced at him: “My cards have been frozen. You should know this too.”
On a rare occasion, she was actually giving him the opportunity to perform. The man took his own wallet out and directly placed it before her: “Don’t you still have mine?”
Ji Nuan glanced at the black, high-quality, limited-edition, leather wallet: “I just had a fever in the morning. I can’t carry anything.”
“Buy as you please. I’ll be in charge of carrying the bags.”
Ji Nuan raised her brows. She picked up the man’s wallet and directly placed it into her purse as she stood up: “Oh, then I suppose I’ll shop for a bit.”
From her tone, she sounded rather unwilling.
Mo Jingshen heard her deliberate tone and glanced at her. Ji Nuan’s expression was composed as she turned and headed for the market. As the man watched her, his lips curved into a light smile. In this small town located in the mountains, they were far away from Hai City and Jing City where life tended to become too busy. It was rare for him to have the time and patience to chase his wife.
Ji Nuan entered the market with the man’s wallet. She was wearing a pair of sports shoes she had changed into earlier in the car. Her steps were light and her pace was fast. Her hair had grown out and flowed freely behind her back, swaying with her movements. As she was also wearing a casual, comfortable set of clothes, she had the appearance of a youthful and vibrant young lady. She was no longer as brash as she had been years ago and underneath her mild disposition was the mellow attitude developed through the difficulties life had put her through.
The first floor of the market largely carried make-up products, jewelry, watches, and the like. As this was the wholesale market in Ji City, it contained just about everything. She entered to find that most of the items sold were below a hundred yuan. Even the clothes were the same. There was a large variety being offered and the store was crowded. Right next door was a department store. Although it was far less crowded, the items available were of much higher quality. They even carried some branded items.
Ji Nuan did not mind the low-quality items. She browsed through the wholesale market and explored the various playthings offered. She touched this and that and was rather pleased with the goods. After an hour, she finally left for the department store next door.
Mo Jingshen was likely too attractive and had caught the eye of someone in the departmental store. She tugged at him, asking if he was interested in a job and if he wanted to be a model. She happily chatted with him that he only needed to dress in the branded items and stand on the first floor to earn up to three hundred yuan a day. When Ji Nuan heard the commotion, she smiled as she continued ahead without turning back.
On the other hand, before the staff member could finish speaking, she was frozen into silence by the man’s cold, noble aura. However, she couldn’t help murmuring: “It’s three hundred yuan a day; nine thousand yuan a month. Such a high pay yet you still look down on it? The youth these days really don’t know how to value money...”
Yet, the man did not take a single glance at the employee. He walked past her expressionlessly.
Ji Nuan had already approached a jewelry brand counter and was trying on various adorable little rings. This was a silver jewelry store and the items weren’t pricey. Each ring costs around a few hundred yuan. However, the workmanship and designs were unique. Mo Jingshen did not pay any attention to the ring and only noticed that Ji Nuan had worn the ring on her little finger.
“Does it look good?” When Mo Jingshen approached, Ji Nuan raised her hand and waved it in front of him.
Ji Nuan’s hands were beautiful and were suited for rings. However, she rarely wore any accessories. The man took one glance and found a problem: “Why is it on your little finger?”
Ji Nuan glanced at it. She wanted to say that this was the smallest size and it could only fit her little finger. However, the lady behind the counter took one glance at Mo Jingshen and immediately exclaimed: “Miss, you have a boyfriend? Right now, who doesn’t know that placing a ring on your little finger indicates that you’re single and unwilling to date? Your boyfriend is so handsome, and the way he speaks to you is so gentle and patient. Your relationship must be very good. You definitely cannot wear that ring on your little finger!”
