Chapter 721: Back Then, Why Did He Insist on Marrying Ji Nuan?

Earlier, Mo Jingshen had carried her out of the swimming pool. Right now, she was still dressed in her swimsuit and wrapped in a towel.

As Ji Nuan had only just entered her recovery stage, she still needed a lot of time to rest. Swimming was also an activity that consumed energy quickly. After speaking for a little while, she quickly began to feel sleepy.

Mo Jingshen carried her into the bathroom and told her to come out after taking a warm shower and changing into her pajamas.

Who knew if the past few days had left the little woman used to staying in his arms, or if she just wanted to cling onto him. Mo Jingshen was originally seated on the couch, waiting to help her dry her hair when she was done. However, the moment Ji Nuan came out, she sat down on his lap and resumed her posture from earlier. It seemed like she planned to fall asleep in his embrace just like this.

Just like previously, there were several times when she couldn’t fall asleep at night, or was too excited, or acting spoiled, and he had held her in this manner to coax her to sleep.

Even though she had fully regained her consciousness, it seemed like she had accidentally developed a habit.

This was a habit that left Mo Jingshen extremely satisfied.

He caressed the woman’s damp hair. “You’re sleeping now? Your hair is still wet.”

“I rubbed it with a towel for a really long time. It’ll dry soon. There’s no need to use a hairdryer.” Ji Nuan leaned against his shoulder and closed her eyes. “So sleepy. I want to sleep now.”

The man rubbed her head gently, and seeing that she was really tired, he did not stop her.

Ji Nuan maintained the same posture as she did in the past few days, as though she would be able to fall asleep quickly this way. The little woman’s breathing gradually evened out. Unlike previously thought, she did not grow anxious or awake in fright. However, her habit of holding onto his shirt buttons remained.

Mo Jingshen abruptly recalled that year when he had first returned from America—when he had found out that Ji Nuan was the girl who had saved him from the Los Angeles River, and when he had first seen her in Hai City.

It was at a business party in Hai City.

At the time, her eyes seemed to carry its own light. She was crafty and quick-witted, and unlike the other wealthy young ladies, she was uninterested in competing with them over every small thing. Instead, she was blindly attracted to the champagne and desserts in the corner. Whenever no one was paying attention, she would sneak a glass of champagne. In front of everyone else, she maintained the appearance of a well-brought-up lady from a wealthy family, but behind everyone’s back, she completely left all decorum behind. Yet for some reason, she carried her own charm and was especially adorable.

As for the second time he saw her, she had been completely unaware of it.

It was when she had been kidnapped by the Ji family’s rival. At the time, she had been completely clueless about the situation. Her eyes had been blindfolded, and she had been tossed onto an unremarkable bread delivery truck. He had sent someone to rush over and rescue her, and just as Ji Nuan was almost brought out of Hai City, he saved her.

At the time, the nineteen-year-old her had been terrified. As it hadn’t been suitable for Mo Jingshen to show himself, he did not remove her blindfold. She could not tell if the person who had brought her away was a kidnapper or someone else, and even when he patted her comfortingly in his arms, her body was still tight with tension. The little woman’s fear had caused her originally soft body to become tense, as though she was about to shatter apart.

In the end, he couldn’t bear to see her that way and had spoken calmly, “I was sent by your father to rescue you. It’s not convenient for me to show my face, but I’m sending you back to the Ji home right now. Don’t be afraid.”

After saying this, it wasn’t clear if it was because his tone was too mild, and unlike that of a kidnapper, but he could obviously sense her body relaxing. However, even after that, she couldn’t help but tremble. Her hands subconsciously found the buttons on his shirt and gripped them tightly, as though the action gave her a sense of security.

She did not say a single word even when he had sent her to the police station near the Ji home. The reason he had sent her to the police station was that it wasn’t suitable for him to casually appear in front of the Ji family, and could only send her back through the police. He also reported her kidnapping to the police, to prevent the Ji family from facing similar attacks from their other rivals.

Back then, why did he insist on marrying Ji Nuan?

When he learned that the little lady had saved his life, he could have used countless other methods to repay her. He could have supported to Ji family’s business and helped her life become even more wonderful and perfect.

Yet, when Grandfather suggested a marriage alliance, he felt that perhaps this was all fated. He did not dislike Ji Nuan, and in his heart, he had always remembered the little lady’s misunderstanding between a first kiss and CPR. If there was fate between them, he felt that he did not mind marrying her to properly teach her.

And so he set his heart on making her Mrs. Mo.

Perhaps she no longer remembered that incident and was completely unaware of his interference.

At the time, Ji Nuan had shrunk in his arms trembling. Her hands had subconsciously gripped his buttons just like this to cling onto him. She was helpless, yet she stubbornly refused to cry out for anyone to hear.

He married her likely because he had suddenly desired the right to lawfully hold her in his arms and comfort her. And so, from the start, he had personally opened the Mo family’s door and welcomed her into his life.

Ji Nuan was now fast asleep. Mo Jingshen first gently placed her down and stood up to retrieve the hairdryer. He then gently brought it close to her and when she became used to the heat, he helped her to dry her hair fully. He then carried her to bed.

——

The next day, it was Ji Nuan’s birthday.

The moment she opened her eyes, she was aware that she had turned twenty-five; this was because she could smell the fragrance of noodles in the air.

Ji Nuan got out of bed and as expected, she saw that Boss Mo had prepared breakfast for her. It was a simple bowl of egg noodles, and could also be described as longevity noodles.

On the island, although there were normal ingredients, they were rare and the ones which tasted good were few. Although this bowl of noodles was simple, it was extremely fragrant.

She couldn’t resist approaching and without standing on ceremony, she picked up the noodles to eat with her chopsticks: “I usually always crave seafood, but after a few days on this island, I’ve really grown sick and tired of seafood. Simple food like this is far more appetizing.”

“If I had made a bowl of seafood noodles, would you still eat it?” the man refuted.

Ji Nuan took a bite of the fried egg and thought over it carefully before answering, “Of course I would.”

“And so, the problem lies in the fact that the dishes aren’t personally made by me.” The man chuckled. “Eat. I’ll accompany you out when you’re full.”

It seemed like that was truly the problem.

If it had been made by Mo Jingshen, even if he had cooked seafood for her every day, she would still be able to eat it. After all, he was able to bring out a wide variety of flavors with the same ingredients. She had witnessed Boss Mo’s culinary skills in the past few years. Just as she had once said, if one day Mo Jingshen decided to close down his company and start a restaurant, his business would definitely boom.
