Chapter 7: The Assembly of Talents!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With eyes darted towards the floor, Su Huiqing leaned against Su Ruohua’s car to wait for her. She had one hand in her pocket while the other played with her phone. She had a casual demeanor, yet it made one unable to move their gaze away.

Even if Yu Xiangyang refused to admit, he was finally convinced that the Su Huiqing in front of him was different from the person he knew before.

“How did you throw your phone earlier?” Yu Xiangyang could not help but ask as he curiously stared at her.

Su Huiqing slowly twirled a bunch of hair and turned her head. With raised brows, she asked, “Did I throw my phone earlier?”

When he heard her words, Yu Xiangyang had an impulse to vomit blood out of anger!

2The ability to lie through your teeth—Missy Su was second to none!

No one had noticed it earlier, except for him. He was sure she made Zhang Mingxi kneel!

“Alright, my mom is here.” Su Huiqing straightened her body and spun her phone one more round before placing it back into her pocket. “Thank you for sending me to the hospital today.”

“It’s nothing.” Yu Xiangyang waved his hand. He then looked at Su Huiqing with an intrigued but gloating intent. “Aren’t you scared that brother Mingxi will ignore you after how you treated him today?”

Su Huiqing squinted her eyes. “So?”

‘So?’ Yu Xiangyang momentarily paused. When he thought of the rumors that spread across Green City, he retracted his look of gloat. “In our circle of friends and relatives, who isn’t aware that Missy Su likes Young Master Zhang? She would even jump into the river for him…”

“Enough, stop talking!” When she heard Yu Xiangyang’s words, a memory akin to what he said arose in Su Huiqing’s brain, and her head started to throb in pain. She raised her hand as a gesture for him to stop.

She slowly took out a piece of chewing gum from her pockets and peeled the wrapper off before placing it into her mouth to chew.

1Yu Xiangyang immediately shut his mouth up. Seeing Su Huiqing’s look, he felt that he had touched her sensitive spot, and so he never mentioned this incident again.

He was on Shen Anan’s side as before, all because she had good looks and an exceptional talent for business. She had a warm personality and was very polite, too. Even people like him, who have had professional training to become heirs, could not compare to her. He knew how frightening Shen Anan could be!

1On the other hand, Su Huiqing could not beat her in any aspect. So when you put the two of them together, they were far too different.

How could such a person be the headmistress of the Zhang Family or be a suitable match for Zhang Mingxi?!

1Hence, when he knew Zhang Mingxi had intentions to reject the marriage, he put both his hands up in agreement.

However, he suddenly pitied Missy Su now… Although it was his first time hanging out with Missy Su, he felt that she was far different from what the rumors pictured her to be. It seemed like she had many secrets on her, too.

1They stood on opposite sides and were both lost in their thoughts. Only when Su Ruohua had walked over did they snap back to their senses. “I should have made you dye your purple hair back to your natural color earlier! Look at how nice it looks now!”

2“Despite how I look now, you could still recognize me?” When she mentioned this incident, Su Huiqing was a little curious. “You could recognize me with just a glance?”

“Did you think I wouldn’t be able to recognize you if you dyed your hair color? Su Huiqing, have you forgotten who gave birth to you?” Hearing her words, Su Ruohua furrowed her brows as she spoke loudly.

Su Huiqing frowned. “That’s enough, mom! Be civil! Don’t get angry!”

“If you possessed half of what Anan or Mingxi had, I wouldn’t have to be so worried for you.” Su Ruohua smoothed her brows and had a look of worry.

“Mom, please rest assured. I will definitely be better than Shen Anan in the future. You don’t have to worry about me.” She chewed on the chewing gum and seemed indifferent, yet her eyes flashed a sharp glint.

When those words came out of her mouth, Yu Xiangyang could not help but laugh. He rocked back and forth in laughter! He almost could not catch his breath. “Better than Anan? Do you know how much her net worth is now? With her talent and aptitude, only a few could surpass her in Green City. Su Huiqing, your words are the biggest joke I have heard this year!”

6Although he could not deny that Su Huiqing had a striking change, things such as talent were innate!

If one did not possess the talent, then they will never have it! One could not blame Yu Xiangyang for having such a large reaction. She could not even read a financial statement, and yet, she had the audacity to claim that she would surpass the rising talent of the corporate world?

Su Ruohua knocked on Su Huiqing’s head and her anger turned into laughter. “Surpass Shen Anan? Despite having real aptitude, you have quite a big mouth! Talk to me again once you can understand financial statements.”

1“Forget it, come with me. You have to think about how you will explain to your grandpa.” Su Ruohua opened the car door. “Your grandpa was the one who froze your card so I can’t help you with that. You just have to wait and attend the predecessor training. I heard that they hired a tutor from the International Association. This time, even if you are unwilling, you have to at least stay there for a week. If not, you can forget about getting your pocket money for the remaining half year!”

1In actual fact, Su Huiqing was not listening. Yu Xiangyang’s words echoed in her head and it was hard for her to snap back to her senses.

‘Shen Anan? Business genius?!’

Not knowing how to digest that piece of information, she frowned.

Shen Anan’s proposal was unrealistic and had many loopholes. Her comrades, who are not interested in corporate affairs, could even point out errors in her proposal. But then again, they still considered that a business genius had written that proposal?! How lacking in talents was Green City?

5Su Huiqing had almost forgotten one thing. Where did she use to reside at one point in her life? It was at the International Association, for goodness’ sake!

1It was the center of influence where all the countries united! But then again, both good and evil were present there. Even a small fry from the International Association could easily be a reputable person in their respective countries. Not to mention, the large corporations in the International Association! It is a place swarmed with geniuses from all parts of the world!

1It was a place where world talents assemble!

Many people dreamed of that place, too. It was a pity that most could only stroll around the International Association because getting into a certain family or influence party was just too difficult.

Green City was a normal first-tier city in Country Z, so how could it compare to the International Association?

7Considering that Su Huiqing had a different position and outlook in life, unlike the people in Green City, she naturally had a different way of thinking. She felt that Shen Anan’s proposal had nothing valuable in it that even with a glance, she could see many loopholes. So how could such a trashy thing be supported by so many people?

If anyone were to present a proposal like hers in the International Association, it would be considered as a piece of useless paper.

Hence, she really could not see what was so good with Shen Anan. Thus, that led her to such a claim that she would surpass Shen Anan. It would even be modest of her to say that!

1It was just that her point of view was different. Moreover, even if they could see the loopholes in Shen Anan’s proposal, they still had to recognize Shen Anan’s qualifications.

2After all, Green City and the International Association were far different by not only a few levels.

Thank you readers!

When Ling Ran stood at the doors of the Emergency Department, the first thing he felt was a feeling of agitation that came crashing into his face.

Patients were all over the place and their records were written messily, their perplexed family members were everywhere, and information was thrown about in a chaotic manner. The machines were arranged haphazardly all over the place, while the nurses and doctors moved about helter-skelter…

Then there were the inexperienced interns who stood in the room, completely baffled and out of place.

“This is the Emergency Department.” Lei Beisha walked slowly from the corridor. He was practically considered the most relaxed individual in the emergency room, and he introduced Ling Ran to the department by saying, “Sickness comes indiscriminately, be it day or night. Therefore, the Emergency Department of the hospital has no sense of time.”

“Huh? Director Lei?” the interns greeted him in a hurry, then looked enviously at Ling Ran. They knew that Lei Beisha most probably came for Ling Ran.

The day before, many students had lined up trying to perform the white rat’s tail replantation, but none succeeded. On the other hand, their failures actually proved just how outstanding Ling Ran was.

Despite the countless interns Lei Beisha had encountered, Ling Ran was indeed extraordinary.

Asking the outstanding doctors in the Hand Surgery Department to demonstrate a tail replantation was a tradition that Yun Hua Hospital had for the interns. They used the most well-understood basic medical skill that the interns had—sutures—to prove how naive they were.

The hospital understood the logic of using what you thought you were good at to defeat you. The only medical skill that an intern could say he or she had mastered was suturing. Hence, the hospital arranged for the tail replantation to serve as a warning for the interns.

This tradition was unique as well as extraordinary, and it always worked in torturing the interns to the point where they cried for their parents. It worked from the beginning of its implementation to the present, and no incidents had ever occurred…

…that was, until Ling Ran showed up.

For that reason, even though Director Lei was displeased with Ling Ran’s ‘silly’ choice, he still rushed to the Emergency Department early in the morning. The interns in hospitals were as numerous as weeds, while top-caliber doctors were lacking in every hospital.

After one night, Director Lei had recomposed himself. He nodded at the interns who greeted him and turned to look at Ling Ran. He asked, “What do you think of the Emergency Department?”

“Not bad.” Ling Ran’s answer was crisp and concise. What else could he say? He could not, after all, say that he cared more about the system, nor could he say that he did not want to pay attention to the Director of Medical Education, right?

In Director Lei’s eyes, Ling Ran was the type that would not repent until he was in trouble. However, if such an intern could master sutures so well, there was no telling if he could stitch a coffin out of a piece of paper should he be given one.

Director Lei spoke to Ling Ran with exceptional patience. “I’ve just introduced you to Director Huo, but don’t expect any special treatment. There are many things to be done in the Emergency Department, and they have never liked interns. As for the rest of you, work hard and be nice with your words so that you won’t suffer.”

The interns were tearing up with gratitude, thinking that the director had finally remembered them. But if he had already greeted the Head of Department, then was it even possible for Ling Ran to not receive special treatment.

When Director Lei left, the interns were still overwhelmed with emotions. They felt impressed but also indignant when it came to Ling Ran.

“Interns, come with me.” A nurse moved hastily to the doors. After she finished taking the attendance, she turned and walked speedily away.

The interns were at the bottom of the food chain in the ecosystem of the hospital; their positions were lower than the nurses, so they followed her obediently.

After they passed by the receptionist counter and the transfusion room, the dozens of interns were then led to the office next to the resuscitation room.

In the office, there were seven to eight men in white robes. When they heard the door open, they all turned to look.

“Miss Li, they sent people here again?”

“Oh, new members.”

“Miss Li, do you need any help?”

The men in white robes were so passionate towards the nurse that it made the interns shocked.

The small nurse, however, ignored the men in white robes. She turned to the interns and said, “Stay here. If there’s no one calling for you, don’t leave this place on your own accord. You are not allowed to meet the patients, you are also not allowed to answer the patient’s questions and their family members’ questions.”

After that, the nurse replied the men with an “I’m busy” before she turned and left… leaving behind a room full of wailing men.

“Are you interns, too?” The medical student who first entered the room observed the office with much confusion.

Most of the men in white robes did not even bother answering the newcomer’s question. Only a mature-looking one chose to answer him flatly, “We’re all residents, we’re here to help.”

“Ah, you guys are here to try your luck in getting to operate on someone.” The ones who knew what was going on went straight for the ugly truth.

The mature-looking doctor’s face changed, and he ignored the one who spoke. The interns also felt that it was pointless to continue talking to these doctors, so they gathered into a group and whispered among themselves.

“What’s the purpose of getting your hands on the operating table?” Ling Ran asked seriously after he found a place to sit down. He seemed oblivious to the cold and tense atmosphere in the office.

Everyone’s gaze was trained on him, but not the slightest change was present in Ling Ran’s facial expression.

“Wait till you’re all housemen, then you’ll know how difficult it is for you to get appointed to surgeries,” said the mature resident lazily. He then continued, “But if you go to a trashy hospital, no one will even care about the number of surgeries you perform.”

The interns who were already troubled by the prospect of unemployment immediately glared at him in anger. The residents did not show any weakness as well.

The underpaid doctors in the office had the same motive as the interns; they were all there at the Emergency Department to get a chance to perform surgeries.

The number of surgeries performed represented the experience required for a surgeon to level up. Junior doctors, the newbies in gaming terms, did not have the chance to get into the operating theater to tackle the difficult cases—the Bosses in games. Therefore, they could only try their luck in the Emergency Department.

The competition was already fierce, but once the interns entered the place, it was just like adding oil to fire on the battlefield.

Only Ling Ran continued to sit alone in the middle. He took out his phone indifferently and played his game.

[Five seconds left before the enemy arrives on the battlefield. Be prepared to launch a full assault…]

The words in the game broke the tense atmosphere in an instant. Both parties looked at Ling Ran and were stunned for a few seconds. Once they realized that he did not even care about the situation, they all withdrew their gazes.

The interns who were new there retreated to their places quietly. Their spirits were a bit low and the intern who just mentioned that the residents were trying to get a chance to operate felt more depressed as he said, “We’re done for. Yun Hua didn’t separate us from them.”

“That doesn’t mean we’re doomed.” The interns were also rather confident, and weren’t willing to listen to depressing words.

An intern who knew the inner workings of the hospital whispered, “If we’re separated from them, we could follow the doctor in charge of checkups and do a few things. We might not be able to do any practical work, but at least we could observe them. But now, look at this! Why would the nurses choose us but not the doctors? I guess we’re most probably going to sit in this room till our bums hurt.”

“Hey, why are the nurses picking the doctors?”

“Why not? Do you expect the department head to recruit his men here? He’s so busy that he needs someone else to help him out, what else did you expect?” The intern who knew the inner workings of the hospital was a bit unhappy. He took out his phone and spoke while he switched it on. “Well, just bear with it for a few days. We can wait till they’re finished with everything first. I’m sure they’ll arrange some hard labor for us after that.”

“You mean we should just wait in vain for the next few days?”

“The residents at least know a bit more compared to us new interns who haven’t even received our graduation certs. If even they don’t have surgeries waiting for them, it would be much less probable for us. What else are we supposed to do other than wait?”

“If I had known about this, I would’ve chosen the Department of Internal Medicine. At least, I could have learned to write medical records there.”

The intern who knew the inner workings of the hospital was also angry. “In the hospital, the interns’ time is the most worthless. I do believe that Yun Hua is the kind of hospital that doesn’t like to give chances to interns—”

*Bang!*

While they were talking, the door of the office was rammed open. In came another small nurse who moved swiftly into the room, she carried some medications with her.

A few of the doctors immediately stood up and greeted her by calling her “Nurse Wang” or “Pretty Wang”. The reserved ones sat upright, showing their smiles.

For the sake of getting practical experience, these young doctors had all but lined up in rows to bow to the nurse and show her respect.

Nurse Wang scanned them, and just as she was about to pick someone, she noticed the handsome Ling Ran in one glance. Her eyes very obviously landed on him for a moment.

Nurse Wang asked Ling Ran, “Do you know how to perform sutures?”

Ling Ran was stunned for a moment, then said with a nod, “Yes.”

“Then follow me.”

Nurse Wong did not wait to listen to his reply. She turned and left in a hurried manner, leaving the others disappointed with her choice…

They were also disappointed that they lived in a world where the handsome and pretty ones always had the upper hand.

Chapter 30: Mo Jingshen Directly Placed Her on His Lap
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Why did you come so suddenly? You really shocked me!” Ji Nuan walked up, going around Ji Mengran to stick close to his side.

Mo Jingshen smoothly held her hand and then lowered his eyes to look at her. “Why are your hands so cold?”

“En, it’s a little cold tonight. Earlier in my room, I forgot to turn on the heater. Just nice, since you’re here, you can help me warm up my hands,” Ji Nuan said with a smile, transforming into a spoiled little wife in a split second.

“Brother Jing Shen, tonight will you…” Ji Mengran remained a little excited over Mo Jingshen’s visit. Regardless of how they ignored her, she still wanted to speak to him.

Ji Hongwen suddenly coughed, clearing his throat. His face was unhappy. “Meng Ran, look at what you’re wearing! Jing Shen is your brother-in-law! How can you come down wearing so little?!”

It was only then that everyone noticed the sleep dress that Ji Mengran was wearing. It was almost like a sexy type of lingerie.

It was thin and short, revealing a significant portion of her shoulders and collarbone. Even her chest was somewhat exposed.

The skirt could only cover barely half of her thigh. It could not get any shorter.

His attention was all focused on Mo Jingshen earlier. After seeing what she wore, Ji Hongwen’s face became as black at the bottom of a pan.

“Dad, earlier on I was preparing to sleep. When I heard that Brother Jing Shen had come, I just ran out…”

Ji Mengran was explaining when a thin coat suddenly landed on her head.

She tugged down the clothing on her head, turning around to look at Ji Nuan, only to discover that it was the coat she had worn coming down.

“Wear it. You might not be afraid of the cold, but all of us feel cold watching you.” Ji Nuan’s voice was calm.

“Thank you, Big Sister…”

Ji Mengran suddenly could not think of anything else to say. She secretly glanced at Mo Jingshen, but his gaze never once landed on herself. Not even mentioning her legs, he did not even look at her shoulders.

“Aiya, it’s so cold.” Ji Nuan suddenly trembled. “I didn’t think it would be so cold after taking off my coat. Dad, it’s not early anymore. You guys should go to sleep soon. Jing Shen and I will return to my room now!”

“Brother-in-law has only just showed up, and Big Sister is already dragging him back to the room?” Ji Mengran mumbled.

Ji Hongwen glared at Ji Mengran. “You have so much to say? Hurry back to your room and put on more clothes!”

Seeing that everyone was standing there, Auntie Qin spoke up, “Why don’t I go to the kitchen and make some supper. The weather now is rather cold. It’s good to eat something warm before sleeping.”

“Yes, yes, yes, Auntie Qin hurry up and go cook…” Ji Mengran turned back, raising her hand in approval.

“You guys go ahead. I’ve eaten too much tonight, and I’m not hungry. Jing Shen has also been busy at the company all day. It’s already so late, we won’t eat with you ~.” Ji Nuan calmly held onto Mo Jingshen’s hand, directly preventing Ji Mengran from having any opportunity to approach.

“All right, all of you go back to your room to rest. Auntie Qin, there’s no need to cook,” Ji Hongwen sternly said.

Hearing this, Auntie Qin immediately paused her steps toward the kitchen.

It was so rare for Ji Mengran to see Mo Jingshen. She wanted to find an opportunity to speak to him.

However, she could not even sit down with him for supper, how could she have the opportunity to speak to him alone properly?

Ji Nuan’s gaze seemed to hold no concern as she glanced at Ji Mengran.

She ran down dressed this way. Based on her father’s traditional character, how could he not get angry.

My dear good sister, you are truly too short-sighted .

Your intentions will be easily revealed this way.

Ji Mengran unhappily glanced back, only to see that Ji Nuan was softly speaking to Mo Jingshen. In front of their family, the two of them actually whispered into each other’s ears. They truly did not know how to be embarrassed.

Typically, Mo Jingshen seemed so aloof. That he would give in so much to Ji Nuan truly made Ji Mengran angrier the more she looked at them.

However, right now, she could not say anything nor could she do anything.

In the past, the moment Ji Nuan came home, she would argue with their father. He would then often take her as an obedient example to compare to Ji Nuan’s immature acts. After that, Ji Nuan would be so mad that she would leave slamming the door. She would not give any face to the Ji family, and their father would always be mad to the point where he wanted to throw her out of the family altogether.

However, right now, could it be due to changes in Feng Shui?

Ji Nuan had become a considerate, warm cotton jacket while she had only come downstairs in a sleeping gown and was lectured in front of so many people.

Exactly which capable person did Ji Nuan receive advice from?

Everyone could clearly see that Ji Nuan was arrogant and proud, yet no one hated her.

Shen Heru saw that Ji Nuan and Mo Jingshen had already gone upstairs and quietly spoke at the side, “Nuan Nuan, this child, she’s still so immature. Jing Shen came in the middle of the night, at the very least, he has to speak to the elders a little to have a conversation as a proper family. She still hasn’t grown up. This caused even Jing Shen to seem disrespectful of the elders.”

“Auntie Shen is right. Dad, earlier my words were to say that Big Sister has gone too far,” Ji Mengran mumbled softly.

Ji Hongwen sternly glared at them. “Still talking? Don’t you see what time it is? Are there words that must be said when it’s so late?”

Seeing that he was angry, Shen Heru immediately softened her attitude and did not speak anymore.

Ji Nuan, that little wench, was becoming harder and harder to deal with. Seeing that Ji Hongwen was so protective towards her, she would speak less just in case.

“Dad…”

“Shut up! Return to your room!” Ji Hongwen turned back, glaring even more sternly at Ji Mengran.

Ji Mengran immediately retracted her expression. After being shouted at by her father, she was fearful and did not dare to speak any further. She felt slightly wronged and glanced back upstairs for a while. She bit onto her lips unhappily before stomping back to her own room.

—-

The room door opened and close. Inside the bedroom, the light was warm and gentle.

“Why did you suddenly come? You didn’t even mention it earlier.”

Ji Nuan turned back and immediately glared at the instigator who caused several people in the family to explode in stupidity.

“Didn’t you say that you missed me?” Mo Jingshen lowered his head the moment she turned back. Ji Nuan was slightly dazed, staring at the approaching clear and handsome face.

There was less than half a centimeter of distance between them. This sudden closeness caused his breath to land on her face. Her heartbeat immediately sped up.

She was conscious of the fact that they were at the Ji family home. Even if the door was closed, Ji Nuan still instinctually raised her hand, wanting to push him aside.

In the end, not only did she not push him away, her elbow was held by him, and she was brought to the bedside.

Mo Jingshen directly tugged her onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist and locking her in his embrace, “Earlier on in the phone, you mentioned wanting to strip my clothes. Now that I’m standing in front of you, what’s wrong, you can’t even raise your head?”

Ji Nuan pushed against his elbow. The bravery she had earlier when she teased him escaped to god-knows-where. After pushing for a long time, he still would not move. She helplessly slapped his elbow, turning to look at him unhappily. “Who asked you to come so suddenly? I couldn’t prepare my heart at all.”

He lowly chuckled by her ear. “Are you sure you don’t welcome me? Then shall I leave right now and let you hold Mr. Bear until daylight?”

At the same time, Mo Jingshen’s gaze met with the big white bear that was placed slanted on the bed, his lips curving up in a smile.

Chapter 29: Send the Charming One Out, and the Mortal World Is Covered with Smoke and Fire
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Nuan rushed back to her bedside, picking up the phone to answer the call.

“Can’t sleep?” Mo Jingshen’s voice came from the phone. Under the beautiful night sky, for some reason, his voice caused her heart to ripple.

The moment Ji Nuan heard his voice, her whole body softened as she laid back down on the bed. She hugged a pillow. “You saw my message?”

“En.”

“It’s already so late. Have you returned back to the Yu Garden?”

“No. There was an unforeseen issue with the overseas partnership. Just ended a meeting.” Mo Jingshen’s voice was low.

“Then you should go rest early. Now that I’m not home, you’re going to start burning the midnight oil again, aren’t you?” Ji Nuan could not resist nagging, “I should just stick by your side every day. The moment it’s night, I can strip you and press you onto the bed so that you can’t go anywhere. Don’t even talk about work, you won’t even be allowed to enter the study!”

It was silent on the phone for a moment. After that, a low, warm chuckle was heard. “When do you plan to strip me?”

“I’m speaking seriously! It’s for you to sleep early!”

Mo Jingshen smiled. “But I look forward more to you personally taking off my clothes before sleeping.”

“…”

Ji Nuan buried her face into her pillow, listening to the sound of movement through the phone. She silently sighed. She was clearly the one who had taken the initiative to tease him. Why did it seem like he was the one who had ended up teasing her instead?

He seemed to have exited the company. She could vaguely hear his movements. He was most likely at the company’s underground parking lot.

Ji Nuan could not bear to hang up the phone but also did not wish to disturb his driving. She laid on her stomach, squinting her eyes as she spoke, “Put on your headphones before you drive. You don’t have to chat with me. When you drive at night, you have to focus on safety.”

“Sleepy?” he asked.

“No, I can’t sleep. Maybe it’s because it’s been too long since I came back to the Ji home.” Ji Nuan lazily laid on the bed as she spoke, “It’s so strange. Even though there’s not much difference between the bed here and Yu Garden’s bed, but when I lie here, I just can’t sleep.”

“It’s most likely because the bed is lacking me.”

Ji Nuan curved her eyes in a smile, reaching out to pull the big white stuffed bear she always used to hug into her arms. She was silent for a moment.

After not speaking for so long, she did not know if he was already arriving back at the Yu Garden, but the two of them did not hang up.

She lazily said, “Uu, it seems like I can only let Mr. Bear hold me to sleep tonight~.”

Mo Jingshen directly asked, “What Mr. Bear?”

“It’s… aside from you who is my legal husband, the only one who has the right to climb onto my bed… Mr. Bear.” Ji Nuan pinched the bear in her arms as she spoke before looking at the time once more. She smiled. “All right, focus on driving. I won’t disturb you anymore. See you tomorrow.”

After speaking, Ji Nuan was about to hang up.

However, because she really could not bear to, she thought she would wait for him to hang up instead and pressed the phone back to her ear.

Yet, after half a day, Mo Jingshen still did not hang up.

Could it be that he was waiting for her to hang up first?

Ji Nuan smiled. Just as she was about to move the phone away, she suddenly heard Mo Jingshen’s low voice, “Come out, open the door.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“!!!”

Ji Nuan took half a day before clambering off the bed, rushing towards the window to look out.

Seeing white headlights flash by the Ji family home’s metal gates, she could guess that the vague shape of a car in the dark was Mo Jingshen’s car.

Ji Nuan was shocked. “That car is… Is it you? You-you came?”

“Mrs. Mo, my clothes are already prepared. Whenever you wish to take them off, you are welcome.”

Mo Jingshen’s voice held some humor with intentions she could not guess. Before Ji Nuan came back to herself, the call was disconnected.

Ji Nuan was in a daze.

So, Mo Jingshen really came?

The Mo Corporation was not close to the Ji family home, how did he arrive so quickly?

He-he-he-he actually came directly tonight?

—-

At the front porch of the Ji home, the moment the helpers and housekeepers saw that it was Mo Jingshen’s car, they all rushed forward to open the door and welcome him.

Right now, everyone at home had yet to sleep. Hearing of his arrival, Ji Hongwen directly went downstairs. Even Shen Heru and Ji Mengran were shocked when they heard of Mo Jingshen’s arrival.

Ji Nuan was the only who was in a daze for a long time as she stared at the phone screen that had already turned dark. Once she came back to herself, she turned and ran out.

“Brother Jing Shen!” Ji Mengran had just showered. She wore a thin pink spaghetti strapped sleeping dress as she went to welcome him. “Why didn’t you say anything before coming?”

After entering through the door, Ji Mengran directly stood in front of him, blocking his view of everything else.

Mo Jingshen coldly glanced at her and did not pay her much attention. He turned to look at Ji Hongwen who was walking over, speaking politely, “Dad.”

“Why did you come at such a time.” Ji Hongwen clearly did not expect that Mo Jingshen would come. “Did you not return to the Yu Garden? You came here directly from work?”

Mo Jingshen directly walked in. His gaze calm. “The company isn’t far from here. Since Ji Nuan is here, I directly came here.”

“Ah, Nuan Nuan only came back to the Ji home for one night, but CEO Mo already misses her?” Shen Heru cut in with a strange tone of voice.

She really could not understand how Ji Nuan, that brat, managed to have so much luck. Not only did she manage to smoothly marry someone like Mo Jingshen, she even managed to have him care so much about her. After demanding for a divorce for half a year, she still remained as Mrs. Mo.

The moment Ji Nuan came downstairs, she heard Shen Heru’s unkind tone. This woman really wore a mask when speaking to her, and then placed on a different one when she was not around.

“Since you’ve come, then rest here. Auntie Qin, call Ji Nuan down.” Ji Hongwen’s mood was rather good. Both his daughter and son-in-law were here, this was truly rare.

Auntie Qin nodded her head, but the moment she turned around, she saw that Ji Nuan had already come down.

“Eldest Miss, Mr. Mo is here.” Auntie Qin looked at her happily with a smile.

“I know~ We were just on the phone just now~.”

Ji Nuan did not conceal anything with her words. The moment she came downstairs, she directly walked over. The first thing she saw was Mo Jingshen who wore a fitted suit along with a black windbreaker.

This man… How could he be so good looking…

A simple windbreaker could also be worn so beautifully.

She did not even have the time to meet eyes with him when she heard Ji Mengran’s voice forcefully cutting in, “Brother Jing Shen, it must be very cold outside today, isn’t it? We’ve already entered autumn for many days. My sister didn’t pass her cold to you when she fell sick, did she? Don’t just focus on your work, you have to take care of yourself as well!”

Mo Jingshen coldly made an “En” sound. From start to finish, his gaze never landed on Ji Mengran. Instead, it looked past Ji Mengran who was blocking his view, focused on Ji Nuan who was walking over.

His appearance was handsome and perfect. He stood there, calmly looking at her. All of his focus was placed on her alone.

After entering through the door, everyone could see Mo Jingshen’s distant and cold attitude. It was only when he saw Ji Nuan that everyone understood the meaning of ‘send the charming one out, and the mortal world is covered with smoke and fire.’

Chapter 6: A King Will Not Meet A King

In the hospital room, Su Ruohua sat on the chair. Unlike Su Huiqing’s lazy attitude earlier, Su Ruohua straightened her back and looked very elegant. “Anan, how is your recovery?”

Shen Anan looked at Shen Ruohua and could not help but think of Su Huiqing. Between the two of them, one was rough and stupid while the other was intelligent and graceful. They did not seem like a pair of mother and daughter at all. Just like the rumors, compared to Su Huiqing, she was more like her…

At the thought of it, her heart clenched and she immediately lowered her head to hide the dark glint she had in her eyes. “The doctor said I may not be able to go to school for a few days.”

She was a good student who had ranked in the top ten in school. She never once missed a lesson, especially now that it was a critical period for third-year students. Examinations were just around the corner, and knowing this made Shen Anan a little frantic. She was worried that her grades might plummet down all because of this incident.

2“Focus on recuperating. I will settle things in school and hire a private tutor for you. Since you are in your third year, you cannot miss your lessons.” Su Ruohua looked at Shen Anan, and she suggested, “Is that alright with you?”

Shen Anan could not hide her happiness and never thought that Su Ruohua would fancy her so much. She tried to suppress the elated feelings in her heart and said, “No problem. Thank you, auntie!”

“It’s a small matter.” Su Ruohua smiled and took out a document file from her bag.

Shen Anan took the file and scanned it. It was the proposal she suggested to the Su Corporation earlier. What could possibly be the reason behind it?

“I have pondered about something for a long while. Since you are still in your third year in high school, you should focus more on your studies and end your cooperation with the Su Corporation. This will be good for both of us.” Su Ruohua smoothened her brows and smiled. “I will transfer the money for breach of contract to your card. Our Su Corporation did you wrong this time. So, if you want any compensation, feel free to let your dad inform me.”

3Shen Anan forced out a smile, but her carefully trimmed nails had already pierced the paper that it dug into her palms. “I understand, auntie.”

“Okay, that is all. Qingqing is still waiting for me downstairs. I have already greeted the hospital director, so please just focus on recuperation.” After giving out some advice, Su Ruohua took her bag and left.

While on the bed, Shen Anan’s face turned sour. She swatted the cup beside her.

What did she mean by ‘focus on your studies?’ Was it because Su Huiqing did not like her?! Shen Anan gritted her teeth and hated Su Huiqing to the core! “Cheng Yue, why are the heavens so unfair? In which way am I inferior to Su Huiqing? Just because she is the missy of the Su Family, she can easily trample over me?!”

4The girl who had pushed the door open to enter, heaved a sigh before she comforted her. “The Su Family are all intelligent people. I heard that Madam Su earned a scholarship funded by the city and went to the capital to further her studies. So, how could Su Huiqing be so dumb? But then again, you should remember that Old Master Su highly values talented people. How can Su Huiqing compare to you in that aspect?! If they don’t want to use your proposal, then so be it. You already have a good reputation on your shoulder so you don’t have to bother about other stuff anymore. Do you know how popular you are in Green City? Even Old Master Su complimented your proposal! Su Huiqing, that piece of trash, can’t even compare to a fingernail of yours. Even her fiancé’s heart is with you, so what are you so scared of? Su Huiqing should be the scared one! If it wasn’t, she would not have pushed you down the stairs out of hatred and jealousy.”

3Thinking that Cheng Yue’s words made sense, Shen Anan calmed down.

–

At the underground car park, Su Huiqing lazily had her hands in her pockets and she looked bored.

“Missy Su, aren’t you being too dumb?” Yu Xiangyang followed her from behind and with a look of pity, he stared at her. “But I can’t blame you either because even my dad admitted that she is very talented in corporate affairs. I have had professional training since I was young, and yet I don’t understand how her brain works. I can’t even beat her in that aspect.”

Yu Xiangyang heaved a sigh.

“What proposal does she have? Tell me about it?” Su Huiqing raised her brows.

“Even if I said it, will you even understand?” Yu Xiangyang looked at her with a hint of contempt.

Who in Green City was not wholly aware that the Missy Su of the Su Family could not even understand a financial statement!?

Su Huiqing paused her footsteps and glanced at Yu Xiangyang. She spun the phone with one hand while she placed her other hand in her pockets. She had a lazy look, yet her lips curled up. She drawled, “Speak.”

Yu Xiangyang’s legs went wobbly like jelly again. Damn! Was this domineering woman the rumored Su Huiqing who was beyond hope?!

1He suspected the rumors. However, once Shen Anan’s proposal was mentioned, he coughed. “Anan’s proposal was indeed a novel idea. Su Corporation is a big company and with abundant capital. Not only does making use of the debt leverage to increase the investment returns make new stocks favorable, but it will open many markets as well…”

“Just these?” Su Huiqing raised her brow and remained uninterested. “It is bold and imaginative, yet unrealistic.”

She gave a critique of seven words.

“What do you know? Forget it, why am I arguing with a slowpoke?!” Yu Xiangyang scratched his head and found her beyond redemption. “Missy Su, I forgot that you did not train to inherit your family business. Hence, you do not understand this jargon. Just take it as though I’m spouting nonsense.”

Su Huiqing squinted her eyes to look at Yu Xiangyang. The bored look she had on her face disappeared and the smile on her lips turned cold. Her eyes, on the other hand, turned sharp. “Is that how others think of me?”

“Since when were you not?” Yu Xiangyang had yet to return to his senses when he realized she had already walked far away. He quickly followed up with hesitation. Just now, Su Huiqing’s presence and strength…

Oh, my gosh! Was she the rumored Missy Su who was a loser? They must be kidding him?!

After they left, two people walked out of the car beside them.

The person who was in front had an elegant yet slothful demeanor. But at the same time, the man had a hint of nobility such that even the dim car park could not cover the shining radiance from him.

They were the people Yu Xiangyang met in the lift.

“Missy Su is dense and dumb,” Chu Xuning said in a calm voice. But the man beside him raised his exquisite brows, and his black eyes had a hint of curiosity.

“Just now, the seven words she spoke hit the nail on the head. Also, that gaze was sharp and wise. She did not seem like a dumb person at all. Xuning, you should correct your information sources.”

“I never expected that she was Missy Su. She was different from the last time I met her.” Chu Xuning stroked his chin. “She is indeed interesting. If we didn’t come down just in time, we wouldn’t have witnessed all of that.”

What did he mention recently? Missy Su was even more frightening than what the rumors said her to be. Whether it was the looks or capability, she could not compare to that illegitimate daughter.

He never thought he would smack himself in the face so fast!

3“Oh right, Young Master Yu. How is the arrest for that fugitive going?” Chu Xuning suddenly recalled something. “Why are there more and more fugitives around? And they are all fugitives from overseas! They even escaped past the International Criminal Court. Even I have my hands tied. So how can they escape so easily?”

“Have you heard of the shocking recent international news?” Yu Shijin turned his head and his eyes narrowed. “The head of the Rapid Fire Mercenary Regiment died.”

6“Rapid Fire Mercenary Regiment? No wonder these fugitives are so arrogant, no one is around to frighten them.” Chu Xuning froze before he snapped back to his senses after a moment. “It is such a pity! I initially thought that we can meet up with them in the international arena so that you two kings can meet each other, but I never expected…”

Chapter 5: You Have to Know Where You Stand

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With Zhang Mingxi’s words, Yu Xiangyang, who stood near Su Huiqing, drew a sharp breath.

He had always known that Zhang Mingxi had feelings for Shen Anan. Who wouldn’t when Shen Anan was capable? Even children from reputable families who had been nurtured since they were young were not as capable as Shen Anan. With this quality, Shen Anan was a dazzling one.

However, even if he liked Shen Anan, Zhang Mingxi was still Su Huiqing’s fiancé, and yet he had used such a disgusted gaze on her.

3Although he might not have said it out loud, Yu Xiangyang believed that Su Huiqing did not push Shen Anan down the stairs. If she wanted to deal with Shen Anan, Shen Anan would not have suffered such a small injury. That was one thing that Su Huiqing said right.

Thinking until that point, Yu Xiangyang looked at Su Huiqing. She had her head lowered and he suddenly pitied her.

“Brother Mingxi, she may not have done it.” Yu Xiangyang furrowed his brows and looked at Zhang Mingxi. “Could there be a misunderstanding somewhere?”

“Misunderstanding?” Zhang Mingxi coldly laughed. His sharp eyes glanced at Yu Xiangyang and recalled the scene he had seen outside the hospital room earlier on. His gaze had a slight sense of probe. “Xiangyang, didn’t you unconditionally believe that she had pushed Anan?”

Yu Xiangyang felt a little embarrassed because he believed that such an incident had happened. But after what he had experienced earlier on today, his mind suddenly shifted to the thought that Su Huiqing was not as bad as what he thought her to be. All the things she did before was just an illusion she created.

1She could fabricate anything, but her righteous appearance could deceive no one.

Su Huiqing did not care about what the other two were thinking and only squinted her eyes.

Who was she?!

She was an uncrowned queen in the world of mercenaries. She was the only person to pass the world-class purgatory training!

She would proceed to any places in battle, and the side that she took part with always turned the tide around despite their weaker forces!

No one knew her limits. Even the number one assassin in the world respectfully called her ‘great-aunt.’ Because of her reputation, even the big shots in the world would turn pale at the mention of her name.

She never expected that the moment she opened her eyes again, she became a young miss who was a ‘laughingstock’ in high society.

Whenever she thought about that, Su Huiqing would pull a soft laugh. She took out her phone and played with it. At the very least, she was clear that she was at a hospital in Green City and not the international battlefield!

Her fair slender fingers continuously spun the black phone. At that moment, the phone had already become a black, blurry, circular arc. It made Yu Xiangyang, who saw that scene, had his jaws wide open!

At that moment.

The phone which she was spinning into a round arc suddenly received an external force. It swiftly left her hands!

‘Bang!’

‘Boom!’

It all happened in an instant! Yu Xiangyang could only rub his eyes before looking at Su Huiqing in disbelief. That black phone was still being spun in her hands.

It was as though everything that happened earlier was just his imagination!

But, in front of her, Zhang Mingxi was kneeling on one knee and his brows were in sharp pain. He looked disoriented.

Su Huiqing stopped her hand movements. Thus, the spinning of the phone also stopped. She placed the phone back into her pockets and stretched. She then sauntered over to Zhang Mingxi with her thin lips curled into a devilish smile. “Su Huiqing’s fiancé had a secret affair with her younger sister. Zhang Mingxi, what do you think of this news headline?”

After her words left her mouth, Shen Anan, who lay on the hospital bed, already had her face as pale as a white sheet of paper!

On the other hand, Zhang Mingxi continued to kneel on the ground. It was not because he did not want to get up, but his legs were still numb that he could not stand up at all.

At that moment, when he heard Su Huiqing’s words, his pupils constricted!

Zhang Mingxi never cared about Su Huiqing before. Because they were childhood sweethearts, no one knew Su Huiqing better than him. She was a useless piece of junk and was dumb beyond hope. She could not even distinguish the company’s regular accounts, and at any instance of a little praise, she would feel elated. With such a dumb personality, Shen Anan would trample her to the ground sooner or later!

Hence, how could such a dumb person say such words?

2Su Huiqing walked to Shen Anan’s bedside and slowly bent down. She squinted her eyes and whispered into Shen Anan’s ear with a voice both of them could only hear. “Shen Anan, I have very little patience and a bad temper. My mum is coming soon, so know your place. If not, I will let you know what it means to be as good as dead.”

Startled, Shen Anan turned her head to look at Su Huiqing. She then embarrassingly and tightly gripped the snowy white bedsheets. She only loosened her grip after a long while.

At that moment, the hospital room door was pushed open.

A black figure walked in.

Grace, luxurious, beautiful. This was the first impression that Su Huiqing had when she saw this woman.

“Didn’t you say that you were coming tomorrow?” Su Huiqing took out a piece of chewing gum and put it into her mouth. She placed one hand in her pockets and her other hand a stool over for this woman. “Mom, please sit.”

“Stand properly!” Su Ruohua furrowed her brows, and though she looked gentle, she still had a hint of sternness to her. “Look at what you have become with this undisciplined attitude!”

2This was the first time a person had ordered Su Huiqing around like that, and she felt a little strange. She glanced at Su Ruohua and saw the helplessness hidden in her eyes and froze.

Hence, the wanton and unrestrained queen of mercenaries, who never listened to others, stood straight for the first time!

If this news was made known to others, a bunch of people might drop their glasses!

“Auntie.” At that moment, Shen Anan’s weak and tender voice rang. “Sorry, I fell down the stairs by myself. It had nothing to do with big sister.”

Damn! Was she sure that she did not mean the other way with her tone?

Su Huiqing’s eyes dangerously narrowed. Few only dared to go against her in secret!

“I know. All of you, please head out. I want to discuss something in private with Anan.” Su Huiqing never expected for Su Ruohua to have such a calm reaction, and she even had no intention to blame Su Huiqing. She turned to face Su Huiqing and said, “Wait for me at the car park downstairs.”

–

Four people walked out of the hospital room. Zhang Mingxi tried to bear the numb feeling in his legs and walked towards Su Huiqing. He looked down at her and coldly smirked. “Su Huiqing, you must know where you stand! Don’t even mention the Shen Corporation for the Su Corporation will never end up in your hands in the future! Seeing as how Auntie Su fancies Anan, do you think you still have a place to stand in the Su Corporation? There will come a day where you will regret how you treated Anan today!”

4With that, he observed Su Huiqing’s face. She kept a calm demeanor and was not the least startled.

‘Pui!’ She was indeed dumb to not even think of such a smart point!

Zhang Mingxi could not be bothered with Su Huiqing and proceeded to the lift straight away.

After he had left, Yu Xiangyang came back to his senses as well. He glanced at Su Huiqing, and he could not help but blurt, “Brother Mingxi is not entirely wrong, for life is full of ups and downs. With how intelligent Anan is, she will definitely inherit the Shen Corporation. She will also hold shares in the Su Corporation. You should remember how much your family’s Old Master cares about talent. And with that, won’t it be… a bad idea to treat Anan like how you did earlier on? If she remembers these incidents in the future, you won’t have anyone to protect you and your life may end up in a terrible state.”

1“You’ll never know who will have the last laugh. How can you be so sure that Shen Anan will inherit the Shen Corporation and Su Corporation?” Su Huiqing patted Yu Xiangyang’s shoulder and slowly left.

1Not only does Shen Anan want the Shen Corporation, but she is also eyeing the Su Corporation?

Su Huiqing curled her lips. She would make her spit out everything she ate from her!

Chapter 6: To the Emergency Department

Thank you readers!

In the simulation training space.

Lei Beisha was in such a shock that he could no longer keep his mouth shut and his jaw hung open.

The suturing techniques in the Hand Surgery Department of Yun Hua Hospital were top-notch. To put it crudely: most of the doctors in the other departments did not meet the required standards set for hand surgeons in Yun Hua Hospital to perform surgery on the operating table when it came to suturing.

Of course, the interns were even more unqualified. Even if they did train for many years, some students still could not perform tail replantation surgeries on white rats. Some who realized that had already chosen internal medicine instead, and those who could not see their own standards mostly ended up as subpar doctors who would only bring trouble to the world.

After staying in the Medical Education Department for more than a decade, this was the first time he had encountered a student like Ling Ran.

“Lower Groove Clinic?”Although Lei Beisha did not believe that a clinic could have brought up such a highly-skilled doctor, he still remembered that name.

The demonstration of suturing techniques ended rather abruptly. The constantly serious Lei Beisha was even smiling as he watched Ling Ran walk out of the operating theater.

He asked him, “Ling Ran, your mastery of sutures is pretty good. So, for the next rotation, which department would you like to go for?”

This meant that Ling Ran was given a choice to pick the department he wanted first. The students all looked at Ling Ran with envious faces, but none of them said anything.

During their lecture, both Lei Beisha and Kang Jiuliang had mentioned that whoever could perform tail replantation on white rats would be offered a housemanship. At the very least, there was a high possibility that they would be able to stay in Yun Hua Hospital’s elite surgical department—the Hand Surgery Department. Kang Jiuliang, too, was gazing at Ling Ran with a smile.

The harsh treatment of hospitals towards new members was notorious. Internships were also as harsh as apprenticeships during the Middle Ages—full of exploitation. Many master or doctorate research students could only renew their contracts after working in a hospital for some time.

However, the hospitals’ desire for skilled personnel was incomparable to any other profession. Skilled doctors were welcome anytime in any hospital. They could bring fame to the hospital; they could bring a great volume of surgeries and money to their department; they could share their colleagues’ burdens; and they could provide much more treatment options for the patients.

To be impressed by skilled doctors was a tradition that was etched deep into the bones of hospitals… and Director Lei was no different.

Before Ling Ran came to the hospital, he did his homework. He knew that the internship rotation was rumored to be dependent on luck.

As an intern who wished to be a surgeon, going into the Department of Internal Medicine to learn some of the basics before being assigned to a surgical department would be his best option. From thence, once his foundation was built, it would then be perfect for him to start learning some surgical techniques, which would take at least four to five months. After half a year, it should grant him a better chance to be at the operating table.

As the saying went: The early bird catches the worm. If the intern who first provided assistance at the operating table made fewer mistakes, then he would become the third or second assistant earlier than his peers, and he would stand at the top of the other interns… even become the first assistant, qualified to operate surgical tools.

Even if such an intern could not remain in Yun Hua Hospital and had to seek employment elsewhere, he would still be in a more advantageous position.

Ling Ran’s mind turned fast, thinking about what kind of decision he should make. At that moment, a line of words went across his eyes.

[Newbie Mission: Treat patients]

[Mission Details: Suture the wounds of ten patients]

[Reward: Interrupted Vertical Mattress Suturing Technique (Specialist Level)]

[Time Limit: 10 days]

‘A mission?’

There was a sudden shift in Ling Ran’s train of thought.

‘First of all, I have no mental illness, so this mission must be real, it’s not just my hallucination. Secondly, I need to complete this mission in 10 days! The interrupted vertical mattress suturing technique is a type of tension suture. It’s a common and useful technique.’

Ling Ran knew that to finish this mission, he needed to choose a department that would allow him the opportunity to carry out his mission.

‘I shouldn’t think that just because there are many patients in Yun Hua Hospital, the chances would be high for me to operate. In truth, there won’t be a chance for most interns to even touch the patients most of the time.’

Even those from the Hand Surgery Department would not recklessly send Ling Ran to the operating table just because his suturing technique was good.

The operating theater was a closed and independent space, anything could happen in there. Even a very lenient department head would still observe him for a few months before he would give Ling Ran a chance to perform a single stitch.

Ling Ran was also not the only person who wanted to operate. The young doctors who came a few years ago were most probably eyeing for a chance to perform surgery.

‘So, the only place for me to suture wounds would be…’

“Can I go to the Emergency Department?” Ling Ran gave a shocking answer.

Lei Beisha frowned, saying, “Ling Ran, you just started your internship, you should still consider familiarizing yourself with the environment. The Emergency Department is very busy, and the doctors may not have time to teach you…”

However, compared to learning from the doctors, Ling Ran was currently more willing to prioritize the completion of his mission.

“I can observe the doctors first.” Ling Ran stopped briefly, then said, “I wish to go to the Emergency Department first, then be transferred to other departments.”

Director Lei could not go back on his word in front of so many people, this was the first reward he promised. If he retracted his words just because the other party’s wish did not meet his, where would his dignity as the Director of the Medical Education Department be?

Furthermore, he still needed to arrange for students to go to the Emergency Department. If he talked about all the bad things in the Emergency Department right then, how was he supposed to allocate students to that department later?

Thus, Director Lei could only shake his head at Ling Ran’s persistence and say, “If you want to go to the Emergency Department, so be it. Well then, let’s divide ourselves into groups.”

After that, Director Lei ordered his subordinates to start calling out names and give out the cards. There were hundreds of students from different schools, and they were to be assigned into the dozens of departments in the hospital. They would then be trained in various departments through a rotation process. The schedule itself already showed that there was quite a lot of work to be done for the interns.

Everyone obtained a number plate and a username with a password, which could be used for checking into the official website for their internship arrangements. Ling Ran got his number card last. Clearly, his schedule had been rearranged.

Kang Jiuliang left early. Lei Beisha said a few more words before he, too, left the simulation training space, leaving the students to draw lots in a rowdy manner. All of them wanted to try their luck with entering the small operating theater.

As his roommate, Chen Wanhao felt sorry for Ling Ran, saying, “You should’ve at least chosen the Hand Surgery Department. I can tell that you made a good impression on Dr. Kang. I think you would’ve probably learned some real stuff from him.”

“I highly doubt your judgement because of that big red stethoscope you bought.” Wang Zhuangyong showed his skepticism.

Ling Ran did not even bother explaining his actions. Instead, he asked, “Where are you two going?”

“I’m going to the Thoracic Department. It’s a little too early for me though,” Chen Wanhao said with a heart full of regret.

Wang Zhuangyong answered nonchalantly, “I’m going to the Medical Laboratory Department. Oh well, I’ll have to go there sooner or later anyway.”

They were living in a dorm which was not fully occupied. There were only a total of three members in it, but fate had it so that they were sent to three different departments.

Wang Zhuangyong sighed involuntarily. His voice was filled with a melancholy as he spoke. “It looks like today we’ll be starting our journey on three different paths—”

Without hesitation, Chen Wanhao interrupted his very good friend Wang Zhuangyong in his brief sentimental moment, “We’re going to perform surgery while you’re going to play with poo, of course it’ll be different.”

Chapter 5: Skill Passed Down Through Generations in the Family

Thank you readers!

When a surgeon got to work on the table with undeniably legitimate skill, one could no longer stand in a corner and call him a quack.

Anyone related to the field—in any capacity whatsoever—would be able to gauge the proficiency of any surgeon after sitting through one surgery with said person.

Anastomosis may be the twig at the end of the branch when it came to the surgery tree, but it was where all the foundations lay when it came to hand surgery.

The most commonly performed surgeries in the field of hand surgery would be the reattachment of amputated fingers, hand laceration suturing, and many more. Once the surface work was done, the real work started in the pursuit of full circulatory anastomosis.

Kang Jiuliang had performed over hundreds of surgeries in Yun Hua Hospital, and had seen no fewer than a hundred surgeries. But never had he witnessed a surgeon who sutured so efficiently while maintaining a perfect, uniform rhythm, taking everything into consideration despite the beeping of the medical apparatus.

Ling Ran was one such individual, living and breathing right before him as his hands worked with mechanical precision. Kang Jiuliang found himself staring at Ling Ran in astonishment for a long time.

“There’s a saying about certain individuals born with God-given elegance and poise. Ah, judging by his face, he has to be a fresh grad from medical school.”

Kang Jiuliang could not come up with any other plausible explanation for Ling Ran’s skill. There was no simplicity in the single-minded pursuit of perfection in the simplest actions like suturing.

It was true that achieving circulatory anastomosis was not much of a feat. It only required the very basic of all suturing skills: simple interrupted sutures. Even just by the sound of the technique, a layman could tell that it did not require much. As long as one listened carefully in class and practiced it, they would be able to use this skill. Taking it a step up with a microscope only took a brief period of adjustment. The skill itself remained the same.

Then again, how difficult would mastering this skill become?

Kang Jiuliang had practiced tying so many knots that he could practically make a curtain from it. Imagine this: How much time and energy would be needed to knit a sweater with nylon? And how long would it take to make a sweater that resembled a curtain? Mastering the art of suturing and then subsequently tying knots would take an even longer time than simply tying knots.

That being said, Kang Jiuliang did not become the chief surgeon in the Hand Surgery Department overnight. Hundreds of successful hand surgeries had driven him to such standards. With that said, the feat of procuring amputated hands every single day to perform surgery so that he could practice his skills was not an easy thing in itself.

Throughout the entire country, hospitals that had the resources to form their own Hand Surgery Departments were only found in large-scale industrial cities.

Industrial machines were the largest culprits when it came to the unintentional amputation of human hands. While those machines continuously generated economic value, privately-owned factories in Yun Hua City generated their share of industrial accidents. The workers who got their fingers or even hands amputated by the ruthless machines would be taken to the nearest major hospitals at the fastest speed their coworkers could muster.

Yun Hua Hospital had not intended to establish a Hand Surgery Department at the beginning, but as the industrial sector continued to expand and the number of industrial incidents grew in kind, Yun Hua Hospital was forced to build their Hand Surgery Department, regardless of what the Board thought.

The 35-year-old Kang Jiuliang was a hand surgeon born out of necessity by the development of Yun Hua’s private sector. Many of his patients had successfully returned to working at full capacity with the industrial machines to date. This was in no small part due to his expertise.

With skill and seniority came self-confidence. He was all too aware that his talent may have played a role in his accomplishments, but talent was nothing without hard work. He also had some great tutors, sufficient practice, and an ample number of surgeries.

The medical student Ling Ran right in front of him might have the first two qualities, but Kang Jiuliang was still unable to find the final jigsaw puzzle piece. How did this fresh graduate actually reach this level with sheer practice and no actual experience?

“Doctor Kang, it’s done.” Ling Ran put down the surgical tools and moved his wrist around for a bit, seemingly unaccustomed to the amount of work he had to do.

The Master Level Appositional Suturing Technique in the Newbie Gift Package had far exceeded his expectations.

As he worked on the bananas to hone his skills, he had only felt that the system-assisted suturing technique was pretty good, but had no idea that it was this good.

The test he did a moment ago on the tail gave Ling Ran a more accurate evaluation of his newfound abilities.

Judging by his knowledge about sutures which he had acquired from the system, the Master Level Appositional Suturing Technique was clearly greater than Kang Jiuliang’s suturing skills.

Kang Jiuliang was most definitely a first-class surgeon in the Hand Surgery Department, and the Hand Surgery Department in Yun Hua Hospital was the leading department for suturing—which was their specialty—in Yun Hua Hospital itself.

By the looks of it, the Master Level Appositional Suturing Technique truly lived up to its name as the skill of a master.

“You stitch very well.” Kang Jiuliang’s voice interrupted the thoughts in Ling Ran’s mind.

“Thank you.” Ling Ran smiled calmly. He did perform admirably.

“In which hospitals have you done your internship?” Kang Jiuliang was well-aware that over a hundred students outside could hear the conversation between the two of them, but he could no longer hold his silence.

It was the only possible explanation. Many medical students were willing to intern in other hospitals during their semester breaks. Even though most of the work they did was merely procedural tasks such as writing down a few medical reports or running some errands, they would still be able to pick up something.

If one was talented, diligent and hardworking, able to capture the big picture, be amazingly efficient, and perform dozens or even hundreds of surgeries, it was possible for one to become this good prior to one’s debut.

Even so, Ling Ran only shook his head slightly and said, “I just help around in my family’s clinic from time to time.”

Once he said that, Kang Jiuliang developed profound respect for Ling Ran’s small clinic and asked, “What is the name of your family’s clinic?”

A long list of names of famous private hospitals and high-end private clinics were already running through Kang Jiuliang’s mind: Chang Gung Hospital, Hua Bo Private Clinic, Beautiful Life—

Ling Ran said, “Lower Groove Clinic.”

Kang Jiuliang looked down at his own hands. He was suddenly filled with self-doubt; all the things he had come to know, accumulated over years of hard work, might have been for naught.

Chapter 28: Who Said That Mo Jingshen Was the Only One Who Could Tease Her
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Mengran looked at the scene before her, keeping quiet.

She slowly ate her food, her gaze occasionally landing on Ji Nuan.

It seemed like from now on she had to change her tactics. Brainwashing Ji Nuan for her to stay away from Mo Jingshen and working on plans to help them divorce, would most likely not work anymore.

“Dad, drink more soup. It’s good for the body.” Ji Nuan personally served some soup for Ji Hongwen, placing it in front of him.

Ji Hongwen saw that Ji Nuan had really changed a lot and felt very comforted.

This child was mature right now, could it be that with regards to Han Tianyuan’s two companies, she really did have some proper plans?

During this meal, everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts. After eating, Ji Nuan originally wanted to make a call to the Yu Garden but was immediately called to the study by Ji Hongwen.

“Speak, what are your plans with those two companies? You are my, Ji Hongwen’s daughter. If you become a joke because of this matter, you would be embarrassing me!”

In the noon, before arriving home, Ji Nuan had specially printed two sets of documents.

She removed them from her purse, placing them on the table. “Dad, you cannot predict the development of the property market or technology within the country for the next ten years. Simply focusing on the property market alone, the prices of houses and land have been slowly but steadily increasing over the past three years, and this increment will not simply stop here.”

“Right now, several property prices are dropping rapidly, aren’t they? Many experts have predicted that jobs in the property market will soon disappear! The more you invest, the more you will lose!”

“Don’t believe in those so-called experts. Look at the evidence I’ve found for you first. It’s not too late to make a judgment after reading it.”

Ji Hongwen glanced at the stack of documents and then eyed her. “You’ve really done quite some preparation.”

“This is the first time your daughter is entering the business world. Of course, full preparation and planning have to be done. I have to do it, and I will do it. I promise I definitely won’t embarrass you!”

Ji Hongwen looked through it for a while before saying happily, “All right, you have the boldness that your father had back when I just started. However, how can you be sure that the direction of the economy in the next ten years would go as you predicted? What if you planned wrongly? Have you thought of the consequences…”

Ji Nuan lowered her eyes and smiled.

The changes that the world would experience in the next ten years, including in the business world, were all in her mind. Since her finances and various relationships were stable at the moment, the first thing she had to do was, of course, to take advantage of the stable and profitable property business to come.

Originally, she could not find much opportunity to do it. That day when she saw Han Tianyuan, she suddenly remembered that two of his companies were about to be sold.

She could make him eat a loss and at the same time push for the gain she wanted. It could be considered killing two birds with one stone.

Given that she dared to stand here right now, she naturally had the ability to convince her father.

—-

After two hours.

Walking out of the study, Ji Nuan glanced at the time, “Dad, it’s not early anymore. I’ll return home now.”

Ji Hongwen had already seen through her documents and heard an overview of her plans. After that, he did not state his thoughts, but he no longer disapproved of her plans.

It could be seen that his heart had already wavered.

“Don’t leave now, just sleep here tonight,” Ji Hongwen spoke from inside the study. “You’ve just recovered from a cold. At night, the temperature is colder, and the wind is also strong. I’ll have Jing Shen come pick you up tomorrow.”

After speaking, he immediately gave Mo Jingshen a call.

Ji Nuan was about to speak up but had to swallow down her words. Since her father said so, if she did not let Mo Jingshen come pick her up, he would most likely overthink and suspect that she was lying when she said that she planned to live happily with him.

After a few minutes, Ji Hongwen walked out of the room. “I’ve already spoken to Jing Shen. You will stay at the Ji home tonight. He will pick you up tomorrow morning.”

“He’ll come in the morning?”

“Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking about, you’re worried about delaying his work, aren’t you? You brat, your feelings for him have just improved, and your loyalty has already shifted out of the house!”

Ji Nuan pouted, was her current thoughts so obvious?

“Have you been living your days in a blur? It’s the weekend tomorrow! I think your heart has long flown back to the Yu Garden. What on earth did Mo Jingshen do to grab hold of your heart so well all of a sudden?”

Ji Nuan face burned slightly. “Dad…”

Seeing her face turn red, the big worry in Ji Hongwen’s heart could finally be placed down. She was truly sincere this time.

Right now, his heart could be considered to be filled with comfort.

If she were to stir up so much fuss that the son-in-law that he favored the most was lost and they really got a divorce, they would really be tossing their luck away to some other family’s lady. Just thinking about it caused his heart to hurt.

“The issue about Han Tianyuan’s two companies, I can give you an opportunity to test the water, but I have a condition.”

“What condition?”

“If within half a year you are unable to earn the very amount that was invested into the company, then you have to go back to studying finance management obediently!”

The meaning of his words was that if Ji Nuan could not rely on her own abilities to earn the money back, she could only obediently stay within the family’s company. He would not give her an opportunity to start her own business.

Ji Hongwen’s personality has always been stubborn. That he was willing to give in this time was already considered a rather big feat on her part.

Ji Nuan was silent for a moment before nodding. “All right.”

——

At night, Ji Nuan was in her room. She laid on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Half a year, thirty-million yuan. To earn everything back was not as easy as it sounded.

In her previous life, ten years ago, which was today, the local property market did have a period of stagnancy and even dropped for a moment, although not by a lot. It was in the next few years that it would rise rapidly. However, right now, she was stuck in the period where the business rates were still rather low.

Considering that, the time limit of half a year was an extremely big test for her.

She really could not sleep. Ji Nuan turned back to glance at the time.

It was already past nine o’clock. Was Mo Jingshen at the Yu Garden or was he still at the company?

After her rebirth, she had not separated from him for even a single night…

Ji Nuan tossed and turned for a little while before leaning down in a kneeling position. She picked up her phone, intending to give him a call.

However, her fingers paused for several seconds at the screen. The Mo Corporation had several partnerships overseas. At night, he would often have conference calls at this time with his international partners. If her call arrived while he was busy, would that be bad?

After thinking for a while, Ji Nuan decided to send a message. After all, Mo Jingshen seemed to rarely check his messages.

Whatever, who cared if he would read it or not. After all, she could not fall asleep. Sending a message would help her settle her thoughts.

Her fingers poked at the screen for half a day: [My precious hubby, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I really, really, really miss you…]

The words “precious hubby” was typed in after she thought for a long time. While typing it, she was smiling with a red face.

After sending it, Ji Nuan could not control her joy. She turned to lay back on the bed, and then glanced at the message she had sent before bursting into giggles.

Who said that Mo Jingshen was the only one who could tease her, she clearly could tease him too…

After sending the message out for several minutes, Ji Nuan got up to shower.

All of a sudden, the phone that was placed on the bed rang. She turned back, her heart in shock.

Mo Jingshen had actually directly called her—

Chapter 27: After Returning This Time, Nuan Nuan Has Really Changed Quite a Bit
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Nuan turned to glance at her, asking with a fake smile, “Auntie Shen, what’s wrong? You can’t even hold your chopsticks properly? Could it be that you ate too much of the medicine brought back from overseas?”

“What are you saying, Nuan Nuan. My hands accidentally touched the hot bowl of soup and trembled for a moment, that’s all.” Shen Heru placed her chopsticks down, smiling at her calmly. “Nuan Nuan, in the past didn’t you always sit on this side? Auntie Shen especially sat here so that I could chat with you while we eat.”

In her previous life, whenever she ate at the Ji home, she would always sit as far from Ji Hongwen as possible. She caused Ji Hongwen to be upset every time, and he would criticize her to no end at the table. Their father-daughter relationship kept worsening that way.

“Sitting here is quite good, I can chat with my father.” Ji Nuan saw that the helper had brought the white wine Ji Hongwen often drank and immediately reached out to block the bottle.

“Dad, when mom was alive, she often said that your stomach is not good. It’s fine if you have no choice but to drink some when you’re working, but you can’t keep drinking at home!” as Ji Nuan spoke, she turned to the person behind her, “Auntie Qin, bring this wine away. In the future, if my Dad wants to drink during meal time, repeat every line of the words that my mom said to him back then!”

“All right, all right.” Auntie Qin rushed over to take the wine away.

Ji Hongwen wanted to drink the wine, but Ji Nuan, that brat, has never cared so much about him.

He clicked his tongue. “Drinking is my only hobby in my entire life. You are even interfering with this!”

“Aren’t you clear about how your own health is like? With your body, you obviously can live to a hundred. For the sake of a few mouthfuls of wine, you want to reduce several tens of years from your lifetime, would that make you feel good?” Ji Nuan furrowed her brows as she said, “What’s the point of eating body supplements. I think if you don’t drink so much alcohol, everything will be fine!”

“Fine, fine, fine, you child. Either you act completely immature, or the moment you become mature, you can’t stop nagging.” Ji Hongwen helplessly waved his hand, signaling for Auntie Qin who was at the side to bring the wine away.

Shen Heru, who could not get a word in for half a day, suddenly smiled and said, “After returning this time… Nuan Nuan has really changed quite a bit…”

Ji Nuan coolly glanced at her. “Auntie Shen, you’ve already been married to my father for so many years. Not only do you not care about his bad habit of drinking, but the relatives from your Shen family are also always sending wine here. Are you planning not to let go of my father’s stomach?”

“Nuan Nuan, you’ve misunderstood. You should also understand how stubborn your father is. How could I possibly have persuaded him…” Shen Heru maintained her smile but felt a greater apprehension toward Ji Nuan.

Earlier on, Ji Nuan even brought up her birth mother who had already passed away for so long. Although her words did not sound sharp, it was clearly meant to bring trouble for her!

Ji Nuan curved her lips coldly. “Oh, you can’t persuade him to drink less, but you persuade him to take more medicine? I remember that your family is well-versed in medicine. You should know that taking too much medicine is bad for the body.”

Shen Heru could not hold on well to her expression.

This Ji Nuan was really strange!

In the past, even if she did not like her as a stepmother, she never cared much about Ji Hongwen. When she was at home, she would always do her own thing and would never speak to her like this.

“Eat, let’s all eat. Nuan Nuan, don’t start bickering with your Auntie Shen the moment you come back.” Ji Hongwen glanced at the table bereft of wine bottles and held in the thought to ask Auntie Qin to bring it back, quickly moving his chopsticks.

Back when Ji Nuan stayed at the Ji home, whenever the fight began it was always between him and Ji Nuan. Normally, Ji Nuan did not even look at Shen Heru.

Now that Ji Nuan was suddenly against Shen Heru, as the head of the family, Ji Hongwen really could not take the way these women argued with hidden words.

Shen Heru smiled. “That’s right, Nuan Nuan, your words are full of attacks. I find it hard to adjust all of a sudden. Your words are usually straightforward and sudden. I guess I’m used to that.”

“Dad, I’m just nagging for Auntie Shen to care more about your health, how is this bickering? Isn’t it all for your own good?” Ji Nuan glanced at him with a face full of sincerity. “Are you unhappy that I’m worried for you?”

Ji Hongwen’s lips trembled. “All right, the problem is on me. I’ll drink less from now on.”

Seeing that this family’s father and daughter were getting along so well, Shen Heru gripped her fists tightly under the table.

Originally, she had thought to use the opportunity to let Ji Hongwen lecture Ji Nuan for a bit. However, this Ji Nuan was becoming harder to predict. Her words always skipped past the real issue and made Ji Hongwen who rarely put down his ego to become soft with his daughter.

“Old Ji, Nuan Nuan words are right. You really should cherish your own body more. Things like alcohol, try to drink less when you can.” Shen Heru quickly changed her almost angry expression from earlier, suddenly smiling and speaking softly.

Ji Nuan glanced at her without a hint of a smile.

This Shen Heru was also someone who could tolerate. Tolerating for so many years in the Ji family, was it not all for the final goal of fitting all of the Ji family’s money into her own pocket?

When she thought of the hatred in her father’s eyes during his last moments, Ji Nuan raised her foot under the table harshly kicking Shen Heru’s legs.

Wanting to pretend that the issue about the medicine was over? As if she would let her stay so calm!

“Ah!” Shen Heru was defenseless. Her calf bone was in a lot of pain, and she could not help but call out.

“What’s wrong with you? Can’t you eat calmly? At this age, yelling and crying like a ghost at the dinner table!” Ji Hongwen’s expression was ugly as he scolded.

Shen Heru never thought that Ji Nuan would do this to her. She felt wronged as she said, “Earlier on, I think Ji Nuan kicked me under the table. I’m not sure if it was on purpose. It’s because it hurt too much that I…”

“When did I kick you?” Ji Nuan’s expression was innocent. She then looked at Ji Hongwen whose eyes held rage. “Dad, I didn’t.”

“You clearly did! Already twenty-plus-years old and you did such a childish thing! Everyone is sitting here, how could I wrong you?” Regardless of how much Shen Heru could tolerate, her legs were hurting to the point where she couldn’t take it. Ji Nuan clearly did it on purpose, and the area she kicked was the most sensitive area at the calf.

Ji Hongwen glanced down and saw that Ji Nuan’s legs were placed obediently by her chair.

In addition, Ji Nuan was wearing a long skirt that covered her legs. The skirt was long, and there were no signs of wrinkles. The skirt made it such that it could not be seen if she was wearing heels, but it indeed seemed like she did not make any large movements.

“All of you eat quietly. You are all grown adults, don’t act like children,” Ji Hongwen spoke impatiently, glancing unhappily at Shen Heru.

Shen Heru was mad to the point where her face almost twisted. The calm expression that she maintained earlier was immediately used up. She harshly gripped her chopsticks tightly.

Ji Nuan calmly drank the soup that Auntie Qin served her.

Shen Heru, in the previous life you caused my father to die alone in the hospital bed. This debt between us, we will slowly repay it.

Chapter 4: Why Are You So Shameless?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Missy Su, who was rumored as a fool, reached the VIP room at the 25th level.

Su Huiqing was sauntering to the room when she suddenly stopped her footsteps and narrowed her gaze at something. She placed her hands in her pockets and exuded an aura of dominance which made Yu Xiangyang, who had walked in front of her, feel that something was strange.

He turned back and saw Su Huiqing standing still with a calm expression, yet her slightly curled up lips looked so evil.

“You… What are you trying to do now?” Yu Xiangyang recalled her high damage ability earlier and could not help but touch his arm, which had a layer of goosebumps on it.

Su Huiqing chewed on a piece of chewing gum and glanced at Yu Xiangyang. Seeing as how he had cowered under her gaze, she patted his shoulder and said, “Nothing is wrong. I just feel that someone is badmouthing me.”

4‘Badmouthing you? With your reputation, is there anybody in the whole of Green City who did not badmouth you!?’

1Despite his thoughts, Yu Xiangyang’s legs went wobbly with just a simple pat on the shoulder.

Hence, Yu Xiangyang told himself to be more courageous. She was just a renowned useless trash in Green City, so why should he fear her?

However, despite his thoughts, his body responded honestly by cowering every time she patted him on the shoulder.

3When Zhang Mingxi fished out his phone, he saw how a girl had easily taunted Yu Xiangyang that he could not even stand straight. Yu Xiangyang was the most unruly grandson of the Yu Family, so it was a rare sight to see him in a restrained state. Hence, Zhang Mingxi curiously looked towards that girl.

In Green City, only a few could subdue Yu Xiangyang into such a pliant state.

The girl had straight, black hair, and her long bangs on both sides covered half of her face. He could only vaguely see her light-colored thin lips that somehow could induce one’s fancy thoughts.

“Brother Mingxi.” Once Yu Xiangyang saw Zhang Mingxi, he morphed his facial expression into a serious one while his gaze moved towards Su Huiqing. He was aware of how much Su Huiqing liked Zhang Mingxi, thus he feared that Su Huiqing might lose control of herself with his presence.

However, he did not expect Su Huiqing to just calmly chew on her chewing gum. She turned a blind eye towards Zhang Mingxi!

On the other hand, Zhang Mingxi… did not seem to recognize Su Huiqing and then walked away to answer his call.

In the hospital room.

A girl sat on a chair beside the hospital bed. She was cutting an apple while gritting her teeth. “Who does she think she is? She can’t even compare to a finger of yours, yet she is the young miss of the Su Family?! Anan, how did Madam Su give birth to such a daughter? With that brain of hers, she could dream of replacing you! She may not even know what would lead to her demise!”

‘Bang!’

The room door was suddenly kicked open from outside.

Su Huiqing took out a fresh piece of chewing gum from her pocket and placed it into her mouth. Her black eyes then stared at the girl who sat on the chair. She then suddenly smiled with a raised brow. “Student, do I owe you money?”

1She had lowered her voice by several octaves. And though her face looked like it was exquisitely carved out from a jade, it still gave one a feeling of flaunting and vibrancy. With just a glance, it made one unable to move their gaze away!

‘There was a person who was even prettier than Anan!’ That was the immediate reaction of the girl who sat on the chair.

2Shen Anan, who leaned on the hospital bed, did not have any reaction and merely stared at Su Huiqing in a daze.

“Anan, don’t you recognize her? She is your elder sister, Su Huiqing.” In fear that these two people would anger Su Huiqing, Yu Xiangyang immediately reminded her.

3What was happening now?!

It was fine if Yu Xiangyang did not explain, but once he did, Shen Anan and the other girl became completely stumped!

‘She’s Su Huiqing? How could that be!?’

Everyone knew that Su Huiqing was an ugly girl who did not inherit Madam Su’s beautiful looks at all!

However, the girl in front of them was bright and beautiful. Even Shen Anan, who was dubbed as one of Green City’s most beautiful women, paled in comparison to her! How could she be Su Huiqing?

Su Huiqing sauntered forward and stopped in front of the girl who sat on the chair. She lazily spat out, “Speak up.”

Her tone did not allow one to interrupt her.

The girl snapped back to her senses and with a pale face, she said in a quivering voice, “No… you don’t owe me money…”

“Did I hit you then?” Su Huiqing pulled a chair over and slowly sat down. She placed one hand on the chair while the other supported her chin, and she then stared at the girl with a cold gaze.

“No, you didn’t…”

“Since that is the case…” Su Huiqing blew a bubble and popped it. She then flashed her a smirk. “Between you and me, who do you think will die first?”

Su Huiqing had a domineering presence and the girl trembled in fear. She was so frightened that her face went as white as a sheet of paper!

This person with such a strong presence was Su Huiqing?!

“Big sister.” At that moment, Shen Anan finally came back to her senses and smiled. “Qianqian did not mean to offend you on purpose.”

1“Don’t let me hear those words again. If I hear it again, I might get bored and you may just end up in a sorry state one day. Do you understand?” Su Huiqing knocked on the chair and the ‘dong dong’ sounds reverberated in the room.

The girl on the chair immediately nodded her head and Su Huiqing turned her attention towards Shen Anan—the girl who everyone claimed was more like Su Family’s missy.

She looked a little pale as she leaned against the hospital bed. She had long hair that reached her waist, and she had raised her eyebrow and fury filled her eyes. Her arm had a white bandage around it and because of her injury, she carried a small sense of pitifulness.

Su Huiqing turned her head towards her, and she slowly said, “My mum will come tomorrow morning. Don’t forget to tell her that you fell down the stairs by yourself.”

“Su Huiqing!” She had not finished speaking yet when a furious voice rang from outside.

The voice was so loud that Su Huiqing covered her ears. She had tilted her face down and her black eyes shot a cold and sharp glint. In the next moment, the harsh look she had on her face disappeared and was replaced with a lazy one. She then stood up and sauntered towards the entrance.

Seeing that sight, Yu Xiangyang trembled in fear. Was Su Huiqing going to explode in madness again?!

The whole room entered a state of silence and they looked at Su Huiqing as they withheld their breaths.

Su Huiqing’s footsteps rang in the room and every step made Yu Xiangyang’s heart clench in fear.

Su Huiqing pulled a gentle smile and spat out the tasteless chewing gum before taking out another piece to eat.

By then she had lowered her eyes. No one could see the piercing cold gaze it had.

Zhang Mingxi had overheard their conversation and knew that the person in front of him was Su Huiqing. Despite being mentally prepared, he still momentarily froze.

Before, Su Huiqing was a useless trash, an abandoned child in his eyes. Looks, talent, intelligence, capability… she had none of them!

2But today, he suddenly thought that Su Huiqing was indeed useless. Her face was the only feature likable about her.

It was a pity that her beauty was her only saving grace and none of her other aspects were worthy of merit!

Zhang Mingxi’s gaze gradually turned icy-cold and filled with disgust. He then moved his gaze away.

After confirming Shen Anan was fine, he looked at Su Huiqing again with a gaze filled with disdain and mockery. It was as though he was looking at a piece of trash. “Anan fell down the stairs by herself?! Su Huiqing, how could you be so shameless?”

Chapter 4: Tail Replantation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If you any error ( broken links,etc….). Please keep reading on our extranovel.com
Thank you readers!

Lei Beisha was executing the carrot and stick approach in the large room. Once he said those scathing words, he worked on comforting the interns. “In the beginning stage of your internship, all of you should mostly make observation as your priority and pay attention to the methods of learning. Study diligently and train hard. At the same time, you must strive to balance hard work and rest.

“Today, the most important thing we will be doing today is to show all of you a demonstration. After this, you will have plenty of time to shut yourself in the simulation training space. By then, even if you don’t want to be here, you will still find yourselves in this place.”

After seeing that Lei Beisha’s attitude had taken a turn for the better, Wang Zhuangyong quickly raised his white-gloved hand and asked, “Department Director Lei, how difficult is the tail replantation for a white rat and what is the hardest part of it?”

“How difficult is it, you ask…? How do I put this into words…?” Lei Beisha pondered on that thought for a moment and said, “Let me describe it a little to you. Other than you students from the medical academy coming over to do your internships here in Yun Hua Hospital’s Hand Surgery Department, we also accept almost a hundred doctors from other hospitals within the province to come in and do practical learning with us every year. Even when these doctors arrive, the number of those who are capable of completing the tail replantation and meet the requirement of 95% blood flow rate will only be in the single-digits.”

The students simultaneously gasped in shock.

Even if the doctors who were able to come back to work in Yun Hua Hospital lacked skill, they would still be better than the medical students who had never been at the operating table. With this impression in them, the respect that students had in their hearts grew even more towards those who could perform tail replantation for white rats.

A few minutes later, Kang Jiuliang and Ling Ran sat on two sides of the table respectively. The objective lens for both of their double binocular head compound microscope were aimed on the tail of the white rat. At the top side of the machine, Kang Jiuliang and Ling Ran were both provided with a pair of eyepiece lenses.

“Normally, when we are training, we will cut the rat’s tail into approximately sixty to eighty segments. Today is a special case for us; we shall cut it into fewer segments.” At the same moment Kang Jiuliang switched on the microphone on one side of the table, he picked up a scalpel.

“The white mouse is so cute, please don’t cut its tail.” A girl cried out while she hid among the crowd.

Although he supposed that she was just pulling a joke, Kang Jiuliang remained serious as he explained, “Experimental animals are the unsung heroes of our hospitals. Everyone would use them for practice in order to improve their skills and further improve the welfare of humans. In the meantime, everyone should also try their best to utilize every chance for experimentation, but perform your experiments within the limits of your abilities. That way, you can try to minimize the suffering of the animals. So, when you’re practicing, you must remain serious… Student, what are you doing?”

While Kang Jiuliang was talking, he saw that Ling Ran had already cut the tail of the anaesthetized white rat into tens of segments.

“You said that we would cut fewer today, so I’ve cut it into 42 segments. Is that too few?” The scalpel that Ling Ran held in his hand glinted with a silver light across the blade.

The students below watched with both eyes gleaming, that included the girl who just mentioned that the “white mouse is so cute”. She was also extremely excited, to the point that she wished she was the one holding the scalpel.

“You have already made the cuts, leave it there. You must listen to direction after this.” Kang Jiuliang set his eyes on a pile of rat tail pieces. He could not possibly make Ling Ran put all those pieces back together…

Well, that was not too accurate, since they were about to perform tail replantation right then.

“I shall do the demonstration.” Kang Jiuliang held a pair of medical forceps with his left hand while he picked up a needle holder with his right hand and said, “What we are using here is called a medical microscope instrument . Many students have most likely never touched this before. Its main feature is that it is small. For instance, the thickness of the suture thread that we are using right now is only one-tenth of a strand of human hair… By the way, student, how should I address you?”

“Ling Ran,” Ling Ran replied.

“Not much of a talker, eh?”

“Not much.”

“You’ll love talking in the days to come. Surgeons are all chatterboxes when they perform surgeries.” During the surgery, Kang Jiuliang had obviously turned into a completely different person than he was before the surgery.

Ling Ran responded with an “oh”.

Kang Jiuliang could not hold it in anymore and said, “Don’t you feel curious about why?”

“Because of boredom,” Ling Ran replied.

The interns giggled.

Kang Jiuliang was shocked for a moment. He asked, “Is the question I asked too boring?”

“It’s while the surgeons are operating that it gets too boring.”

“Indeed, performing a surgery takes a very long time. It’s true that it is quite boring. Normally, it would already be ten or twenty hours later when we finish a session for hand surgery. The others around you would probably want to talk even if you don’t feel like talking.” Kang Jiuliang no longer bothered himself with the underlying meaning in Ling Ran’s words. While he spoke, he started working with his hands, as if both actions would not affect the other and interfere with each other.

In the eyes of the interns, the rhythm of Kang Jiuliang’s hands as he worked and the speed he used while he spoke was completely different. As the saying went: practice makes perfect. Kang Jiuliang’s exceptional performance even while he spoke was probably what that idiom meant, because he could only do this after a lot of practice.

In the meantime, Ling Ran was also familiarizing himself with the details in Kang Jiuliang’s actions as he operated on the tail. After all, in the end, tail replantation for white rats was just a circulatory anastomosis.

It would require six to eight stitches on the small vascular section in order to stitch each of the severed blood vessels back together, thereby ensuring that blood would circulate smoothly, unobstructed, and without any leakages.

During the suturing process, the doctors should also be careful of not letting body cavities[1] and dead spaces[2] appear. In all honesty, these specifics and small concerns would be the things that define the skills of a surgeon.

For instance, a doctor of the Hand Surgery Department would require training for two to three years on tail replantation before he or she could reconnect the tail. But the condition of the white rat itself and the skills of the surgeon, which played an even more decisive factor, would determine whether the tail could function as normally as it had before, and whether there would be any pain or even complications after the surgery.

In simpler words, suturing was not easy, and completing the stitch perfectly was even harder.

Kang Jiuliang began to feel bored just talking by himself. He asked Ling Ran directly, “Do you recognize the suturing techniques I am using?”

“It’s a simple interrupted stitch.” Ling Ran did not say much at all.

“Are you familiar with it?” Kang Jiuliang asked another question, but he answered the question himself immediately afterwards. He said, “You should be familiar with it. This is the most common and also the simplest suturing technique. It is otherwise known as the suture and knot-tying technique, isn’t it? One knot right after one stitch. Back when I was training in my school, this is the skill that was practiced the most. How about you?”

Ling Ran remained concise as he replied, “About the same.” He watched the operation performed by Kang Jiuliang. His mind was overflowing with information, he did not want to talk at all.

“Alright, give it a try.” All of a sudden, Kang Jiuliang seemed a little sullen. ‘I’m a very busy person, why can’t you learn how to chat with me a little after I’ve gone through so much trouble to be here to give all of you a demonstration…?’

At first, he wanted to perform a few more anastomoses for a while to allow Ling Ran to familiarize himself with it. After completing just one circulatory anastomosis, he immediately decided to let Ling Ran take over.

Ling Ran was stunned for a moment, but he did not give it much thought. He just said “alright” as he picked up the needle-holder.

All the while, Kang Jiuliang did not move his eyes away from the eyepiece of the microscope. At that moment, he could not help but lift his head up and take a quick peek at Ling Ran.

The saying went that an expert’s skills would be determined once he laid his hands on his craft, and the basic skill required for microsurgeries for experts was for their hands to not shake when they picked up the needle-holder.

In order to put eight stitches on the artery with a mere 0.5 millimeters in diameter, the surgical suture that they were using at the moment was only one-fifth of a hair’s thickness. If an ordinary person picked up the needle-holder, the front tip of the needle would shake indefinitely.

Under the microscope, the magnitude of the tremors would make it seem as if the needle was dancing around.

In actuality, doctors who were never properly trained to perform microsurgery would shake so much that all onlookers would feel dizzy while they watched these doctors pick up the needle-holder under the microscope. These doctors would definitely need to practice holding the needle holder over a long period of time. Some doctors even held the needle holders in their hands until they became swollen just from practice.

As for medical students…

Kang Jiuliang could not help but ask, “Do you still practice microsurgery in Yun Hua Medical Institute?”

“My family runs a small clinic,” Ling Ran said using the lie he made up. The tip of the needle under the microscope went straight for the small artery in the white rat’s tail.

Kang Jiuliang quickly focused his attention, but he only saw that the artery of the white rat’s tail had not moved even by a tiny bit under the microscope. Kang Jiuliang could not help but to raise his eyebrows marginally.

The arteries under the microscope did not tremble at all. That meant that none of them were pulled, not even by a little. This was not a basic requirement in microsurgery. This was, in fact, a very outstanding skill.

In order to train this particular skill, some doctors would put bubbles in a basin of water and perform sutures and knot-tying on top of the bubbles. The goal was for the bubbles to not move even the slightest bit.

It was similar to suturing a broken finger. If the process could be done with that sort of suturing standard, the sutured finger would have much stronger recovery abilities and even mobility in the future than it did in the past.

During that moment of absent-mindedness, one stitch on the anastomosis had already been completed. Kang Jiuliang did not even notice the exact time, the only judgement he could make was that it was at least faster than his.

After contemplating it, Kang Jiuliang quickly looked at the point of the anastomosis under the microscope. He could only see that the knots which were exposed on the outside were fairly consistent. It was pleasing to the eye by the looks of it, there was not even a single mistake like a granny knot[3].

This was practically a textbook example of a vascular suture and vascular knot-tying. There was no mistake at all to be picked out.

‘A small clinic?’

Kang Jiuliang lifted his head and glanced at Ling Ran. Afterwards, he thought to himself, ‘How many fingers had to be chopped off in order to nurture such a high standard of suturing?’

Thank you readers!

Yun Hua Hospital.

In the outpatient facility downstairs with the exterior wall made entirely of glass, a group of interns were lined up with their heads up and looked straight ahead. Several instructors who wore white coats that were embroidered with either words saying Yun Hua University, Yun Hua Medical University, or Yun Hua College of Traditional Chinese Medicine were consulting the administration staff of the hospital in soft voices.

For medical students, an internship was the mark signalling their beginning towards becoming a doctor.

It held the kind of excitement where one would finally see the fruits of their many years of labor.

“You don’t say… I’ve been here in Yun Hua Hospital before this. And yet, the feeling I have now is completely different from that of the past.” Wang Zhuangyong stroked his hair with his white gloves twice. He turned towards the logo of the hospital with the look of someone who looked forward to the future.

“The last time you came here, you did so to undergo a circumcision. Of course the feeling is different.” Chen Wanhao wore a well-ironed white coat. There was a big red stethoscope hanging on his neck, two pens were pinned neatly right in front of his chest. He appeared to be roleplaying as a licensed doctor, his words were also sharp and straight to the point.

Wang Zhuangyong had gotten used to getting rendered speechless. He did not feel annoyed and was calm as he said, “The big birds should work in a great hospital.”

When he said these words, Wang Zhuangyong looked at Chen Wanhao askance, regarding him disgustedly.

Chen Wanhao immediately had his feathers ruffled. Enraged, he exclaimed, “What the heck does THAT mean?!”

“Old Chen, don’t work yourself up.” Beside him, his classmate persuaded him to calm down and said, “We’ve all been bathing together in the public bathroom all this while, who hasn’t seen whose d*ck, right?”

Chen Wanhao could no longer suppress his anger. He then said, “Don’t try to hold me back…”

“Silence, everyone!” The mentor who led the team held a megaphone as he said, “We will start with a small meeting first as a group and talk about certain matters that require attention during your internship. Then, we will take a tour around the hospital. We shall split into groups and visit the departments in rotation. Everyone, focus now. Every aspect of the following will affect your internship score.”

A few of the classmates looked at Chen Wanhao in worry. Right before their eyes, that Chen Wanhao who flew into rage a moment ago had become like a quiet rabbit which had been sedated.

When the routine speech and visit had come to an end, the interns were sent to the simulation training space—they went in a noisy fashion.

By then, the instructors from every school had already returned to their homes. The person in charge had now been replaced by the Director of Medical Education, Lei Beisha.

Lei Beisha had seen groups of interns come and go every year at the finest hospital in Yun Hua.

When he saw the new faces which looked young and excited, Lei Beisha proceeded to put the youngsters in their place the moment he spoke.

His voice was deep when he said, “Most of you would end up going to small hospitals in the days to come! You will idle away in the small hospitals, giving injections, prescribing medication, giving IV drips to people, performing appendectomies, and you will go through another year.

“Are the tertiary grade A hospitals in our country short-handed? Of course they are. How about the top-class general hospitals in places like Yun Hua, then? We are in dire need of manpower! Even in our dreams, we want to recruit others, but…” Lei Beisha then raised his volume and continued to speak in a deafening voice, “We want proficient hands! We want mature doctors!”

Lei Beisha went on with his words and said, “Of course, we will also train our own doctors. We have many famous doctors walking out from Yun Hua, yes. But! Only the gifted, the diligent, and the ones who have the attitude of a doctor are worthy of being trained by us. In truth, this isn’t something that only happens in Yun Hua, the local hospitals and the great hospitals that you all dream of going to do the same thing.

“So, are you all the kind of doctors who have the gift, the diligence, and the attitude?” Lei Beisha stood on the podium in the simulation training space as he set his sights on all the people from higher ground. He then slowly said, “In the upcoming year, everything will depend on your performance.”

The medical students who were pumped with enthusiasm at the beginning instantly became dejected. In all honesty, everyone knew about what the director just said, but when someone said it out loud in such a straightforward manner, the youngsters could not really handle it.

Ling Ran stood firm though. His family ran a clinic. It was natural that he knew how small clinics and small hospitals worked.

Regardless of whether it was general or private, the small clinics and hospitals in the country could only treat minor illnesses and relieve minor pain. The salary a doctor obtained there was actually sufficient to feed only one family. Still, it was inevitable for the doctor to feel as if he was wasting away.

It would be especially so for the medical students who struggled hard in their studies throughout the years. They would be unwilling to become a doctor who only measured blood pressure and treated the common flu.

Ling Ran was unwilling to be someone like that too, but he had never put his hopes on silly things like wishing for all his wishes to magically come true.

“Our hospital does have an offer for housemanship as well.” Lei Beisha noticed that his words to intimidate had served their purpose effectively. A smile appeared on his face, slowly replacing the serious look as he spoke with a hint of pleasantness in his voice. “If the results of your internship are among the best, our Medical Education Department will prioritize recruiting you. When the other hospitals are recruiting resident doctors, they will definitely also look at the results of your internship.”

Once he saw that the morale of the students had recovered well enough, Lei Beisha smiled again. Then, he said, “You have one entire year of internship at Yun Hua. We will observe and record your performances during that period. As for yourselves, you should all aim to improve your skills using places like this simulation training space where we are right now. Our hospital has spent millions to build this space for you to practice your skills.”

Lei Beisha took a step back and introduced another young doctor who was right beside him. “This is Doctor Kang. He is our Yun Hua’s well-known chief surgeon. Next, let’s have him give us a brief lecture about suturing techniques.”

Kang Jiuliang was currently 35 years old—the prime of his life. He was also deemed the most skilled young doctor among hand surgeons.

Kang Jiuliang only treated the matter of being called to the podium by Lei Beisha like getting a period of rest. Even when Lei Beisha introduced him, he still spoke in a lackadaisical manner. “There are many techniques to master for a surgeon, suturing is merely the basic among the basics. You should have practiced that back in your school.”

When Kang Jiuliang talked about this, he smiled a bit and said, “In the Hand Surgery Department, the fundamental requirement for new doctors to even be able to perform surgery would be to pass the test from the simulation training space.”

Kang Jiuliang glanced at Lei Beisha as he continued to speak, “The standard to pass the test in the simulation training space is actually very simple in theory. You just have to anastomose the tails of ten white rats.”

While he was giving his speech, Kang Jiuliang pulled away a curtain that was covering a wall beside the podium, revealing a large glass behind it and the small laboratory inside.

The laboratory was more than a dozen square meters large. There was one white rat transfixed to the middle of the experiment table in the laboratory. Approximately twenty to thirty centimeters directly above it was a compound binocular microscope.

The projection screen had also been lowered—with loud creaking sounds—behind the podium. When the projector was switched on, everyone could see the tail of the white rat.

“Our interns and doctors of the Hand Surgery Department would come over to the simulation training space to practice whenever they are free. We express our gratitude for the sacrifice of the animals used for the experiments. Thanks to them, many of our patients were healed.”

Kang Jiuliang continued to speak after that, “The diameter of the thin blood vessels in a human’s finger would be approximately 0.3 millimeters. The diameter of the blood vessels in the tail of a white rat should range around 0.5 millimeters. That should be almost the same thickness of the blood vessels in the middle finger of a normal human being. That being said, those who cannot pass the test in the simulation training space will not be capable of getting onto the surgical platform for hand surgeries.

“Department Director Lei mentioned an offer for housemanship just now. You can obtain an offer for housemanship in our Hand Surgery Department by simply performing a successful tail reattachment surgery for a white rat. Whichever intern manages to pass this test within a year will be welcomed with open arms in the Hand Surgery Department.”

After he had finished talking, Kang Jiuliang smiled in a barely noticeable manner and said, “I shall pick one student to perform the anastomosis with me. You can also try it out yourself later.”

A group of medical students raised their hands. Their eyes gleamed brightly.

They lacked knowledge in far too many things in regards to performing surgeries on people, but suturing techniques was what all medical students had learned and practiced during their time as students.

This was evidenced by the good sales of the bananas and pomelos sold at the school gate [2]. Any person who would like to get into the medical field upon graduation would practice suturing whenever they were free. Many students had trained to the point where their confidence in this skill had been developed as well.

“Put down your hands, you don’t have to raise your hands; this is not a school, after all.” Kang Jiuliang turned his head to the side as he looked at the students. Right at first glance, he saw Ling Ran, who was so handsome that he stood out among the others. Without a moment of doubt, he chose him and said, “Let’s pick this fellow student, then. You, sit across from me and watch while I do the first round. Then, you will do the other round.”

After that, Kang Jiuliang pushed the small door beside him open. He then gestured for Ling Ran to change into surgical attire and to get ready for operation.

Translator’s Note:

[1] Housemanship: a two – year period after graduating from medical school during which newly qualified doctors practice under supervision in designated hospitals in the country.

[2] Pomelo and banana: In this context, it means that the sales of pomelos and bananas were good because the students kept buying them to practice their suturing.

Chapter 26: Father-Daughter Relationship Has Broken Ice
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Auntie Qin and the Ji family helpers had already prepared dinner.

When Ji Hongwen came downstairs, Shen Heru and Ji Mengran saw that he seemed cold and stern. His expression was dreadful.

He did not even glance at Ji Nuan who was following behind him.

Seeing this scene, Ji Mengran took the opportunity to speak up, “Father, don’t be mad at my sister anymore. She rarely returns home. It’s likely that she fought with Brother Jing Shen again. Why don’t we just let her stay here tonight instead of returning back to the Yu Garden? Anyway, even if she returns, Brother Jing Shen may not be there…”

“What did you fight about again?” Ji Hongwen glared at Ji Nuan who was behind him. “It’s already been half a year, when will you stop your thoughts of wanting a divorce?”

Ji Nuan eyed Ji Mengran.

Very good, she had just shown up, and she was already attacked.

Even though Ji Mengran had known that the issue about the divorce has always been the cause of all their fights, she still directly brought the topic up.

Shen Heru stood by the table without speaking, but her eyes moved towards Ji Nuan. She knew that Ji Nuan would always make a big fuss about Mo Jingshen so she stayed silent, calmly waiting to watch the show.

“Dad, I wanted to take the opportunity to apologize properly.” Ji Nuan reached out and wrapped her hand around Ji Hongwen’s elbow just as he was about to walk toward the dining table. “I was too stubborn in the past and didn’t realize that you had planned all of the best things for me. I kept bickering with you. I was wrong.”

Ji Hongwen was surprised, immediately eyeing her in suspicion.

She didn’t start a fight?

Ji Nuan actually knew how to apologize?

Ji Mengran and Shen Heru tried their best to cover up the shock in their eyes.

How could this be?

“In the past, I was too stubborn. After marrying Jing Shen, because my heart was dissatisfied, I kept making trouble. But in the end, the human heart is made of flesh. After spending a long time with someone, you can’t help but notice their goodness. Right now, I don’t wish for a divorce, and I’ve decided to live well with Jing Shen from now onward. I definitely won’t let you worry for me anymore.”

As Ji Nuan spoke, she sat down with Ji Hongwen, at the same time turning to look at Ji Mengran. “Actually, I had already shared my thoughts with Meng Ran several days ago, isn’t that right, Meng Ran?”

The focus suddenly turned toward her. Ji Mengran froze for a moment.

Ji Nuan did say these words before…

Ji Mengran had thought that she had only said those words about giving up the divorce because her brain was not working momentarily. She had never even thought of informing her father what had happened.

Suddenly pushed into the spotlight by Ji Nuan, Ji Mengran could not lie even if she wanted to and could only smile. “That day I left in a rush and almost forgot about this. Big Sister did say that to me. She said that she has thought things through and no longer wishes for a divorce.”

Ji Nuan smiled at her, making it seem like there was a deep sibling love between the two of them as they shared a smile of mutual understanding.

However, this smile caused Ji Mengran to feel like her whole body was surrounded in cold water.

“Dad, you should believe me now, right? I really want to be happy with Jing Shen.” Ji Nuan held onto Ji Hongwen’s elbow. Her voice was light and soft, sounding like a little girl whining for attention.

Ever since she grew up, Ji Nuan has never acted this way with him. The soft part of Ji Hongwen’s heart was immediately touched and his anger reduced by a lot. “All right, it’s good that you know Jing Shen is good. After marriage, one needs time to be comfortable. Now that you’ve thought things through, it’s not too late. If the two of you have any conflicts, tell us. Don’t always act so temperamental, and don’t always be so immature, understood?”

“I got it, Dad.” Ji Nuan leaned her head on his shoulder. “I apologize for all the bad things I previously said and did to you when I was being temperamental, so don’t be mad at me anymore, all right?”

“Hmph, it’s no use even if you apologize now. I can let the rest go, but on the issue of the two companies, don’t think that I will let you off so easily.”

“I will explain that to you later.”

Ji Hongwen clearly still did not trust her much on this, waving his hand. “All right, let’s eat first. Ever since you got married, you’ve rarely been back. It’s good that you have finally been enlightened. Initially, I never placed any hopes on you coming back with Jing Shen. But since the two of you have grown close, bring him back with you the next time. Don’t always move about alone, or people will start to speak about your marriage again.”

“That’s right. Nuan Nuan, since you’ve decided to live well with Jing Shen, why didn’t you come back together? Are you just making up words to please your father?” Ji Hongwen had just finished his words and Shen Heru immediately cut in. Her face was bright with a smile, but her eyes were cold.

Ji Hongwen glared at Shen Heru. “None of your business! In the morning I was the one who called her to come back immediately. It was a sudden plan. Jing Shen isn’t an idle person who always has free time, how could he suddenly make time to come back.”

“But I feel that Big Sister and Brother Jing Shen’s relationship cannot be so simple. A few days ago, they were still fighting so fiercely,” Ji Mengran quietly muttered. “Previously, they were clearly fighting to the point of no return. Yet, you are suddenly saying that you don’t want to divorce anymore. Big Sister, could it be that you have some other thoughts that you are purposely hiding from us?”

Ji Mengran’s face was completely innocent as she spoke, seeming as though she was only asking curiously.

Ji Nuan continued to hold onto Ji Hongwen’s elbow, coldly glancing at her. “What other thoughts could I have? I’ve already married Jing Shen for some time. After being together for a period, feelings have grown. We should just be together happily. Marriage is simple, how could there be any complicated thoughts? How could there be so many whys?”

“These words are good. Simple is the best.” Ji Hongwen nodded his head. After Ji Nuan had acted spoiled in front of him for a while, his heart of a father was unused to it, but at the same time, he felt very comforted.

In actuality, before returning, Ji Nuan had considered asking Mo Jingshen if he had time. However, after considering that her father had wanted to ask about Han Tianyuan’s companies, not to mention there were also Ji Mengran and Shen Heru at home, she felt that the return home would definitely cause chaos, and after consideration, she did not mention it to him.

Besides, she did not want to see Ji Mengran interacting too much with Mo Jingshen. It would cause her to feel nauseous.

Ji Mengran tolerated it and did not speak anymore, but quietly glanced at Shen Heru.

If the relationship between Ji Nuan and her father worsened, the one to benefit would definitely be Shen Heru.

Now that Ji Nuan was suddenly so obedient, seeing the ice break between the father and daughter, how could Shen Heru sit still and watch?

“Auntie Shen, don’t you feel like my sister has changed too much?” Ji Mengran spoke carelessly.

At this moment, Shen Heru was indeed suspicious.

Why did Ji Nuan suddenly change? Becoming so obedient and mature?

“Nuan Nuan ah, Auntie Shen hasn’t seen you for a while. Quickly come here and sit with me.” Shen Heru smiled as she pointed at the seat next to her, the one furthest from Ji Hongwen.

Ji Nuan sat at the seat closest to Ji Hongwen without moving, acting as though she did not hear anything as she calmly spoke, “Dad, your health has barely any problems. Don’t eat too much medicine from here on. Those strange medicines sound like supplements but eating anything extra will affect your body’s immunity.”

Hearing this, Ji Hongwen had yet to speak up, but Shen Heru’s hands which were about to pick up the chopsticks staggered.

Chapter 25: There Must Be Something Wrong with This Medicine
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“You brat, you’ve never focused on anything, and you’ve never been interested in the company. That’s fine, I didn’t force you. Ever since you’ve gotten married, you’ve been emotional all the time. I know that you don’t feel good inside, but you cannot mess around like this!”

“Dad, please trust me. These two companies have a rather significant chance of bringing in profits within the next few years.”

Ji Hongwen was just about to say more but paused in surprise.

This daughter of his has always been extremely stubborn. Ever since her mother passed away and he remarried, she was even more impolite to him as a father. It was rare that they would not end up fighting each time he called.

However, earlier she had said, “Dad, please trust me.”

Such a sincere and polite attitude was very different from the way Ji Nuan would usually speak…

Ji Hongwen was stunned for a moment, and his tone remained unkind. “Come back to the Ji home now and clear things up. I’ll send the chauffeur over to pick you up!”

“There’s no need to pick me up. I’ll drive myself over.” Ji Nuan’s cold had already healed. Originally, she had planned to visit Xia Tian after getting changed. She slowly said, “Xia Tian was involved in a car accident a few weeks back. Her leg is fractured. I’ll drop by the hospital to visit her first.”

“Fine. Watch out for your safety when driving and don’t be so absent minded.” Although Ji Hongwen’s tone sounded just as cold as before, it warmed up slightly.

Ji Nuan smiled. “I’ll be back before six. Dad, don’t forget to have Auntie Qin save some food for me.”

“…”

Ji Hongwen was utterly unused to facing such a gentle daughter. After half a day, he still could not make any sound and directly hung up the phone.

——

It was past six in the evening when Ji Nuan drove back to the Ji home.

The car drove into the Ji family’s old residence’s front yard. Ji Mengran was on the balcony of the second floor playing with her phone. When she saw Ji Nuan, she immediately placed her phone down, glancing at her in surprise.

“Big sister? Why are you back?”

Ji Nuan seemed as though she did not notice her. After parking her car, she directly strolled in.

Auntie Qin had already come out to welcome her. “Eldest Miss, you’re finally back. It’s been months since I last saw you!”

“Auntie Qin, did you miss me?” Ji Nuan smiled as she reached out to hold Auntie Qin’s elbow.

“Of course I missed you, how could I not have? Mr. Ji said that you would be coming back for dinner tonight, so I specially made your favorite braised ribs and steamed lotus root!” Auntie Qin happily patted her hand. “Since you’re back, do you want to stay at home for a few days?”

Ji Nuan had yet to reply when she saw her stepmother, Shen Heru, approaching the moment she stepped through the door.

Seeing that she had really returned home, Shen Heru appeared to smile bright as she squeezed in—pushing Auntie Qin to the side—and tugged Ji Nuan’s hands as she said, “Nuan Nuan, if you still did not come back, your father would have rushed to the Mo family demanding for you.”

Ji Nuan glanced at her while coldly and calmly pulling her hand back. She turned back to ask Auntie Qin, who had been pushed to the side, “Where’s my father?”

Auntie Qin rushed to reply, “Mr. Ji hasn’t been feeling too well in the past few days. Earlier he said that he would return to his room to have some medicine before coming down.”

Medicine?

Ji Nuan’s expression did not change, but she quickened her footsteps towards the staircase.

“Ai, Nuan Nuan, don’t argue with your father the moment you are back. Ai, you child, why are you walking so quickly…” Shen Heru nagged from downstairs seeming very proper, all the while turning back to glare harshly at Auntie Qin.

Auntie Qin retreated without saying anything more.

Ji Nuan had quickly arrived outside Ji Hongwen’s room door. Just as she was about to knock, she heard the sound of a glass of water being placed on the table and pushed the door open with force.

A loud “peng” came from the door—

Ji Hongwen held onto two white pills as he turned to stare at Ji Nuan who had suddenly barged in. He immediately frowned unhappily. “How old are you? Do you know how to behave? Even when opening the door, you have to make so much noise!”

“Dad!” Ji Nuan walked over, stopping him from placing the pills in his mouth. “What medicine is this?”

Ji Nuan snatched away the pills in his hands and picked up the small medicine bottle on the table, scanning at it.

All the words on it were in English. It mainly wrote that it contained supplements suitable for the middle-aged to strengthen their body.

“This is the medicine that your Auntie Shen specially brought back from abroad when she went overseas a while ago. It’s a whole set of body supplements. There are pills and tablets,” Ji Hongwen simply replied, looking at her unhappily. “Didn’t you say you would be back before six? It’s almost 6.30p.m! Such a poor sense of time!”

“It was the rush hour earlier; there was a traffic jam,” Ji Nuan explained while she continued holding the pill bottle tightly.

In her previous life, she felt that her father had died very strangely.

Back then, because she was on poor terms with her family, she could not remain by his side in his last moments. She had only managed to catch one last look at him before he had passed away at the hospital and did not even have the opportunity to understand the cause of his death from the doctor. However, on his death certificate, it was written that the cause of death was respiratory failure and a sudden heart attack.

In her impression, her father’s health had always been excellent. He was only fifty years old when had he passed away. How could his health have worsened so dramatically in the span of a few years?

Even if the Ji family had gone bankrupt, leading to a series of misfortunes, the stress should not have impacted him to the point where his heart had stopped within a night, causing his death.

Back then, she was not at home and was therefore unclear of the situation. Earlier when she heard Auntie Qin said that he was taking his medicine in the room, Ji Nuan was suddenly reminded of this.

Her father was not ill, why would he have to take medicine all of a sudden?

Shen Heru had said that these were supplements, was it true?

Ji Nuan did not forget that Shen Heru’s family had several members who studied medicine and learned to produce it. This was definitely not simple.

“Why are you still holding onto my medicine? Quickly put it down!” Ji Hongwen stood up, scowling at Ji Nuan, “Also, the issue about those two companies, you better explain it well today!”

Ji Nuan raised her eyes, changing the topic and speaking seriously, “Dad, can I have this medicine for a few days? I’ll let people from the state’s Food and Drug Administration check what’s inside.”

Ji Hongwen frowned and angrily spat, “Nonsense! What are you checking for! I have already been married to your Auntie Shen for several tens of years. And you suspect even the medicine she buys? No wonder even though you both call her Auntie Shen, Meng Ran and she are like a pair of mother and daughter while you treat her like an enemy, never showing her a good side!”

The room door was suddenly pushed open again. Ji Mengran gently opened the door, poking her head in and asking with an obedient looking face, “I just passed by and heard noises from the room. Dad, Big Sister, you just returned, and the two of you are fighting again?”

“This doesn’t concern you, leave!” Ji Hongwen glared toward the door.

Ji Mengran made an “Oh” sound and then gently closed the door again.

Although she was yelled at by her father, Ji Mengran was not affected at all and was instead happy about the disaster as she left.

Ji Nuan had only just returned for a while, and she had already argued with their Father. There would surely be a good show to watch tonight!

Chapter 2: Oh My Goodness, Are You Really Su Huiqing?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Handsome lad, please dye my hair black and give it a little trim,” said Su Huiqing to a man holding a scissor after she had sat on a chair inside a hair salon she found.

In her memories, Su Huiqing visited this hair salon before.

After she had sat down, she casually and lazily placed her legs on the table. She then curled her lips to form a casual smile. Although her smile was gentle and warm, one could not help but feel that there was a hint of evilness to it. The mirror in front of her completely mirrored her every action.

The young man could not help but blush after a gorgeous lady had called him a handsome lad. And after seeing her reflection in the mirror, he had blushed even harder. “M—Miss, your purple hair looks very nice.”

“I think black hair looks good, too. What do you think?” Su Huiqing slightly turned her head around and propped her chin in her fair palms. She stared at him for a while before flashing him another smile.

The young man suddenly felt at a loss. “I—I think so, too.”

It had been a long time since Su Huiqing saw a boy who blushed so easily. Upon seeing the lost look on his face, she could not help but curl her lips up. She leaned against her chair with her eyes slightly closed.

1She searched through Su Huiqing’s memories again while trying to figure out how she had ended up there. Where did the original Su Huiqing of this body go? Moreover, the scene where she pushed Shen Anan seemed a little blurry. It was though someone had taken it away from her memories.

Caught up in her thinking, her fingers unknowingly touched a jade pendant on her neck.

Why did the jade pendant from her past life ended up there as well?!

4The guy trimming her hair saw that she had already closed her eyes since her long eyelashes were drooped downwards like a paintbrush. Su Huiqing, who was asleep, was no longer the stern person she was earlier on. She looked like a harmless angel. In fear that he might wake her up, the guy could not help but trim her hair more gently than usual.

‘Peng!’

A loud noise resounded. Someone pulled the chair beside Su Huiqing backward with a screech. A seventeen-year-old young man sat on the chair.

“Young Master Yu.” The guy naturally knew this young master who had frequented the shop. But unlike his usual bright and handsome face, a malicious intent etched on his face at that moment. His face was so dark and gloomy that it frightened the hairstylist.

Yu Xiangyang stared at the girl sitting on the chair and his face darkened even further.

He initially wanted to visit Shen Anan at the hospital. But after he had passed by a flower shop on the roadside, he decided to buy some. Unexpectedly, he saw a familiar figure with purple spiky hair in the hair salon near the flower shop. He immediately recognized that it was Su Huiqing.

2There was only one person in Green City who would visit that hair salon in that hairstyle. It was none other than Su Huiqing.

He purposely made a scene. However, she did not even budge. Yu Xiangyang scoffed, “You pushed your younger sister down the stairs because you are jealous of her. Su Huiqing, I have underestimated you. This time, I support Brother Mingxi’s decision to cancel the marriage.”

2Zhang Mingxi was such an outstanding man and only Shen Anan was worthy of him. As for Su Huiqing, in what way was she worthy of the Young Master of the Zhang Family?!

2In the past, if he were to talk about this, Su Huiqing would have thrown a fit by then, but why didn’t she react?

Yu Xiangyang stared at the girl with purple hair. If she was Su Huiqing, just simply judging from how infatuated she was with Zhang Mingxi, how could she remain so calm? He couldn’t possibly have recognized the wrong person, right?

1Thinking up until that point, Yu Xiangyang stood up and walked towards her. He then lowered down his head to take a clear look at her face.

After he had done so, he became stumped.

He hadn’t spoken a word and it seemed as though his soul had left him. He looked at her as though he had seen a ghost. “Y—you are Su Huiqing?”

The girl in front of him still had her usual spiky hair. But her face looked strikingly different from the Su Huiqing in his memories. The girl had fair skin while her eyebrows were almost indigo, and her lips were as red as that of the Danxia landform… Did the arrogant trash girl turn into a drop-dead gorgeous beauty overnight?

She still had the same face. But in the past, people were so disgusted by her face that they would not even want to spare her a glance. However, she looked so beautiful at that moment that he strangely did not want to shift his gaze away from her.

It was as if she became another person!

Something unexpected really happened!

In the next second, the girl’s thick eyelashes slightly trembled, and she opened her eyelids. There was a glazed look in her eyes which made her look especially clear and yet calm.

1She had taken a nap. Despite this, her eyes still looked especially pure and bright when she opened them.

Su Huiqing slightly raised her head and casually flipped her hair. Her lips curled up and a glint flashed past her eyes. She raised her eyebrows. “If you are talking about the Missy of the Su Family, you should be referring to me.”

‘How could she be you?!’

Yu Xiangyang instinctively doubted her. After all, how could he not be more aware of the type of person Su Huiqing was?

The infamous useless prodigal of the Green City. Be it values, looks, manners, or intelligence… there was nothing she was good at.

Upon the mention of her name, everyone would shake their heads in disapproval.

It was that in the very instant she opened her eyes, he saw how sharp and cold they were for the first time. However, before he could snap back to his senses, she had already returned to her lazy and casual self. It was as if it was just his hallucination.

Su Huiqing wore a faint smile on her face with her eyes slightly closed, hiding the gloomy look in her eyes. “Aren’t you going to visit Shen Anan at the hospital later?”

Upon hearing her words, Yu Xiangyang immediately answered her. It was as though she had bewitched him. Yes, he was going to visit Shen Anan later.

“Wait for me,” said Su Huiqing in a faint voice. She closed her eyes again and leaned against her chair.

She seemed exhausted since she fell asleep within the next few minutes.

Yu Xiangyang opened his mouth, and he initially wanted to lift her by her collar to ask what she was up to. But upon seeing her flawless features and the cold expression on her face, he suddenly did not feel like doing it anymore.

He furrowed his eyebrows before sitting down on his chair. He played with his phone as he waited.

Although it was peak hour and he was occupying a seat, no one dared to chase him away.

Su Huiqing spent two hours in the hair salon. After she had stood up, Yu Xiangyang instinctively followed her to the door.

He stepped out of the salon and felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him.

What the heck! Why did he wait for her? He clearly could not even bear to look at her for another second!

Seeing that Su Huiqing was walking towards his car without hesitation in her steps, he could not help but chase after her. He pressed the car door with his hand and then used his other hand to grab Su Huiqing’s collar. “Su Huiqing, what are you up to? Do you want to visit Anan at the hospital? Who isn’t aware of your hate for her? You already pushed her down the stairs, so what are you planning to do this—”

Before he could even finish his sentence, he found himself pinned against the glass window with both his hands clasped behind his back.

His remaining words were stuck in his throat.

Yu Xiangyang tried to struggle out of her grip, but to no avail. How was she so strong when she only used one hand?

9Su Huiqing looked at him and built up more of her strength. Her narrowed eyes slowly turned colder, but her voice was as casual as usual. “Which eye of yours saw that I pushed Shen Anan down the stairs? If you say it again, I will bring you to the police station!”

This side of her, which no one had seen before… The originally pure and refined girl suddenly exuded a dangerous and evil aura.

Chapter 1: Rebirth of a Legend

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
(Please ignore the random figures)

Headache… A splitting headache was all she could feel at the moment. Countless information and memories overwhelmed her brain. And at the same time, a voice rang in her ears.

3

“Su Huiqing, what are you up to this time?” The man furrowed his eyebrows, and as he spoke, his voice was coated with anger.

2“Sh*t!” Su Huiqing furrowed her eyebrows. They considered her endurance level as one of the best in the mercenary regiment. But at that moment, her lips were pale and her fingers trembled. And with a layer of sweat coating her forehead… one could tell that she was in excruciating pain.

3Despite how she looked, a glint of impatience and disgust flashed past the handsome man’s eyes in front of her.

The headache refused to subside, but by then Su Huiqing had already calmed down. Although she was still not quite aware of what was happening to her.

The new grenade she developed most likely exploded in front of her. But how was she even alive after experiencing such pain?

5In the next second, countless foreign memories swarmed into her brain. Su Huiqing massaged her temples. Upon raising her hand, she saw a pair of fair, slender, and delicate hands in front of her. Those hands were so fair that it could blind people under the sunlight.

2How could such a beautiful pair of hands belong to her?

She had trained with a gun for so long that her palms became rough.

“Tch.” Su Huiqing finally understood what had happened. This was probably not her body.

4

Upon realizing that, she could not help but raise her head to face the man in front of her.

The man was very stylish and had handsome and distinct features. His sharp eyes had a hint of natural dignity and power in them. He was wearing a silver-grey dress shirt with a tie loosely hanging around his neck. With the first button of his dress shirt open, she could see the bulging muscle lines.

He was the type of guy who would leave girls screaming if he were to walk on the streets.

‘If he wasn’t looking at me as if I was trash, perhaps we could have had a good chat,’ Su Huiqing thought.

The man held his anger in and rambled a bunch of words at her. Yet, the girl in front of him seemed lost in her thoughts and had her attention elsewhere. He clenched his fists, and his gaze held a hint of mockery and ridicule. “Your mother valued Anan because she gave important suggestions to the Su Corporation! Who are you to push her down the stairs? If you weren’t the Missy of the Su Family, you would be nothing.”

His aura was powerful. If she was a normal person, she would have trembled in fear because of his presence.

But who did he think Su Huiqing was?

How could she—someone who could bomb the King of the mercenaries with an explosive that could explode in a mere ten second, and more so, while chewing on a gum—possibly be afraid of him?

5“I don’t care what I am, but—” Her memories slowly pieced themselves together. Su Huiqing fixed her gaze on the man in front of her with her hands in her pockets. She curled her lips up and in that split second, an evil glint flashed past her eyes. “I still can kick you out of my house.”

1The usually lifeless girl suddenly became bright. The man blinked his eyes in disbelief upon seeing this. But the girl had already turned her head around, and thus, he could not see her expression.

“Su Huiqing, what are you talking about?” The man looked back at her and scoffed, “Look at who you are talking to!”

After living for so many years, she had received countless looks of admiration, worship, or even infatuation… But never was there an instance where someone dared to look at her with despise and mockery. Su Huiqing curled her lips up.

However, she was still eager to know what had happened. She did not have the mood to teach this man how to conduct himself.

She stretched and casually said, “Uncle Chen, send our guest off.”

With that said, she walked away.

With his body frozen to the ground, he looked at Su Huiqing’s departing figure with narrowed eyes. There was even a doubtful glint in his pitch-black eyes. But in that split second, he recalled what the girl had done and could not help but pull a cold and mocking look on his face. “How could you not apologize nor explain after you injured someone? You are the legendary Missy of the Su family, indeed.”

All he got was a slam of the door.

‘Since when did she become so daring? Or was this her new tactic?’

Thinking until there, a look of disgust appeared on the man’s face. He loosened his tie and raised his foot. When he was about to take a step forward, a middle-aged man stopped him. Uncle Chen gave him a warm and gentle smile before he bowed and gestured him to the door. “Young Master Zhang, this way.”

“Uncle Chen, you know that Su Huiqing was being too much. Although Anan is not Auntie Su’s biological child, she is still Uncle Shen’s daughter! Don’t you think that Su Huiqing went overboard?” Although Zhang Mingxi did not like Su Huiqing, he respected Uncle Chen a lot. Thus, he could only furrow his eyebrows.

He did not understand why Uncle Chen had to be so protective of that useless trash, Su Huiqing.

Uncle Chen did not reply and only smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in that very smile. “This way, please.”

2This time, Uncle Chen did not even address him as ‘Young Master Zhang’ anymore.

Zhang Mingxi pursed his lips and threw an odd look towards Su Huiqing’s room. “Uncle Chen, tell her not to regret her decision.”

3After he had said his piece, he turned around to go down the stairs with gloomy eyes. He then curled his lips up to form a smirk. ‘Su Huiqing, one day, you won’t be the Missy of the Su Family anymore. When that happens, what would it leave you with?’

5Upon seeing that Zhang Mingxi had left, the smile on Uncle Chen’s face immediately disappeared. He then turned around to look at the door that Missy slammed closed, and he pulled a worried gaze.

He heaved a sigh and the image of Missy’s casual smile flashed in his mind. Not to mention when she said, ‘I still can kick you out of my house.’ His heart took a dip.

Was that his Missy?

1In the past, as long as Zhang Mingxi mentioned it, she would be willing to risk her life for him.

Earlier on, Zhang Mingxi had asked Missy to go to the hospital to apologize to Shen Anan. If it was in the past, Missy would have gone long ago.

However, not only did Missy refuse to go, she even asked him to scram.

Wait a minute! Judging from how infatuated Missy was with Young Master Zhang, she might be crying.

“Missy, Young Master Zhang left.” Uncle Chen immediately knocked on her door. “If you have any regrets, I’ll get someone to chase after him.”

The room was still as quiet as ever and Uncle Chen’s heart took a dip. “Missy, open the door…”

In the room, Su Huiqing was sitting in front of her dressing table. Atop it, a bunch of high-end cosmetic products was sprawled over.

Su Huiqing did not look at those products and instead was only looking at the person in the mirror.

Two words immediately came to mind—Redneck Punk!

14Anyone who had seen her purple spiky hair probably thought of those two words too, right?

2Su Huiqing fumbled around her dressing table and took a pink hair clip to clip her fringe up. Using her slender finger, she took the makeup remover and as well as a few cotton pads. She then walked to the bathroom to wash her face. It was not until she had completed cleaning her face that she looked into the mirror.

The mirror reflected a young face. Her skin was flawless, smooth, and tender that moisture squeezed out of it.

7Her eyebrows were as long as those drawn on ink painting. Not to mention, her thick and long eyelashes as well as her pair of pitch-black and bright eyes. Even with a layer of mist surrounding her face, her tall nose bridge and pearly white teeth were still visible. Her every feature was so beautiful from her eyebrow to her jaw. She did not even need to feel bad if ever she flaunted them.

Her hair was purple and it looked so striking that it could blind a person’s eyes. After removing the make-up on her face, her purple hair color could no longer hide her beauty. Instead, it made one feel as though only such a bright color would match her outstanding facial features.

4A person’s hair usually helps a person look more beautiful. However, when it came to her, it was the opposite—her face made her hair stand out.

She was wearing a white and black uniform. It seemed altered to fit her well. And embroidered on the top left corner of her blouse was her name.

There a red string hooked around her neck and she pulled it out, only to reveal a jade pendant. She went into deep thought and searched through her memories.

After a moment, Su Huiqing pulled a nonchalant but cold smile on her lips. This was her usual smile.

It didn’t seem too sudden for her to pull a smile such as that. It instead would’ve brightened someone’s eyes and made her look fresh and seductive than ever.

“Seventeen?” Su Huiqing combed her purple hair with her fair and slender fingers. “It’s great to be younger by eight years.”

3She took her time to walk out of the bathroom and heard Uncle Chen’s voice outside the door.

She turned around to open the door, and then she leaned against the door frame as she looked at Uncle Chen who was about to raise his hand to knock on her door again. With a casual and lazy attitude, she lowered her clear voice. “Uncle Chen, do you have money?”

Su Huiqing’s query deeply stumped Uncle Chen. She looked the same, yet she seemed different. But she looked even more beautiful than the usual lifeless look she had on her face. He suddenly could not shift his gaze away from her.

Upon hearing her voice, he instinctively took out a few red notes. “Is this enough?”

“Of course.” Su Huiqing happily took the money and flicked it. “Thank you, Uncle Chen. I will be back by evening.”

With that said, she nimbly walked past Uncle Chen and went downstairs.

She thought that it was a waste of time to walk down the spiral staircase because after walking a distance, she placed the money in her pockets and leaped. In a blink of an eye, she was already downstairs. Her actions were very light and cool. Her clipped fringe showed off her smooth forehead, and she casually flipped the stray hair on her chest to the back.

6As her fair fingers touched her long, purple hair, she looked like a beautiful young girl who popped out from a comic book.

There was an inexplicable smoothness in her actions that it even stumped the maid who had come out of the kitchen. Wait a minute, was this their Missy?

Uncle Chen finally snapped out of his trance. However, Su Huiqing was already quite a distance away from him. Looking at her departing figure, he glanced out of the window and shouted, “Hey—Missy, you are still not well yet… Don’t tell me you will find Young Master Zhang!”

“No, I am not!” Su Huiqing did not even turn around, only waving her hand and slowly walking to the gate.

Uncle Chen gave Su Huiqing a pained look before he heaved a deep sigh.

He did not believe her.

With money in her hands, Su Huiqing walked on the streets while trying to make sense of the memories in her head.

Without a doubt, she was dead. However, she transmigrated into this girl’s body who had the same name as her.

This girl’s life was a little interesting.

Su Huiqing was a Missy of the Su Family in Green City. She was also the only Missy in the family and thus, her mother and grandpa doted on her. It was also because of how she was raised that her character seemed laid back. She just ate and played all day long and was an apple of Sodom. But the warrior Su Huiqing, on the other hand, was a full-fledged fighter who was an expert in fighting and martial arts.

5This blur prodigal had a fiancé. Her fiancé was the same man who had told her to go to the hospital to apologize to Shen Anan. They also know him as the Young Master of the Zhang Family, Zhang Mingxi.

Zhang Mingxi was a handsome, capable, and rich lad. He was the fifth son of the King of Diamonds in Green City. The original owner of the body fell head over heels for him that she would do anything for him.

Unfortunately, how could Zhang Mingxi possibly like a person who was as useless as a trash can?

It was especially so when her younger sister, born from a different mother but of the same father, Shen Anan, came into the picture. Su Huiqing was a taint to the Su Family.

3Shen Anan was an outstanding student whose results were always within the top ten of her class. She was also seventeen-years-old but was a few months younger than Su Huiqing. Because of her high IQ, she was very good at business. The moment she joined the Su Family, Father Shen brought her around to attend various banquets. She had an outstanding look and had good etiquette and manners. She was elegant and looked more like a Missy of the Su Family than Su Huiqing.

6In contrast, Su Huiqing’s results were also within the top ten of her level. It was just that it was the bottom ten. She acted like a rogue and was very dumb. She knew nothing about her family’s business and engaged in mischief all the time. Whenever someone mentioned her name in Green City, sighs would resound thereafter.

3Su Huiqing and Shen Anan were opposites.

Shen Anan was too perfect. She had outstanding looks and grades; she had a gentle personality, and had a talent for business. With all that, it was no wonder why Zhang Mingxi got infatuated with her.

4After knowing that Su Huiqing allegedly had pushed Shen Anan down the stairs, he immediately flew back from overseas to visit her. He even dropped by the Su Residences just to warn Su Huiqing.

As to why she had pushed Shen Anan down the stairs, rumors spread that they had an argument that led to Shen Anan’s accident. But even so, nobody knew the truth.

However, in the eyes of the others, Su Huiqing purposely pushed Shen Anan down the stairs.

In a split second, she suddenly became the villain. She was a useless person who everybody hated in school.

Until that, Su Huiqing could not help but curl her lips up. A glint of coldness flashed past her pitch-black eyes.

There were only two types of people who dared to bully her. One, people who wished to go to hell. Two, those who already went to hell.

Thank you readers!

After dinner, Ling Ran headed for the old bomb shelter behind the school mortuary.

The bomb shelter had been long since been neglected. Once upon a time, it had served as a makeshift hospital. In another tale, it was a temporary mortuary. After the new medical block was constructed, it once again fell back to its old days of being a lonely, dilapidated corner. Not even dogs in heat would pound each other doggedly through the unbearable stench.

In contrast, Ling Ran did not mind the smell.

Medical students often had their gag reflexes tested since their first witnessing of a public dissection. Give them a couple of years and they would start yawning throughout the process.

Of course, it was not like they would go out their way to pay the mortuary a visit on boring evenings.

Ling Ran stood quietly in the middle of the bomb shelter, thinking, ‘A leader-level Transformer should be around twenty to twenty-five feet tall, maybe thirty at most. This should be enough standing room… If the Transformer ends up surpassing even that, what do I do?’

As Ling Ran was thinking, he brought a finger up and tapped on the Newbie Gift Package in the top right-hand corner of his eye.

[Reward: Appositional Suturing Technique (Master Level)]

A calm, professional voice echoed in Ling Ran’s mind.

From that moment on, whenever Ling Ran thought about the appositional suturing technique, the intricacies of the skill would fly into his mind: the distance between two needles, the force for applying the sutures, the choice of thread, the varieties of knots…

“Hmm, isn’t the system a little too stingy if all it gives is a mere suturing skill? An appositional suturing technique, what’s more!” Ling Ran muttered softly to himself.

“The appositional suturing technique includes simple interrupted suturing, simple continuous suturing, subcuticular closure, gambee suture, cross mattress suture, and interlocking suture, totaling up to six types,” the system explained in a voice that sounded suspiciously pre-recorded and rehearsed.

Ling Ran grumbled, “You can give me a dozen suturing methods, but it’s still suturing. I could learn the tension suture and inverting suture from elsewhere, so why not just give me a Transformer?”

This time, the system’s reaction was slightly delayed before it finally answered.

“No.”

“Why?”

“The Medical System only passes down medical knowledge, not Transformers.”

Ling Ran pursed his lips, thinking, ‘Doesn’t look like the system is being controlled by some intelligent being.’

An intelligent entity would have asked, “Why the heck would you want a Transformer?”

“What exactly is this Master Level you speak of?” Ling Ran pressed on.

The voice of the system continued in the same artificial politeness, “The techniques are categorized from lowest to highest starting from Novice, Specialist, Master, and Perfect. Master is the third rank on this list.”

“Soooo… Your Newbie Gift Package is only limited to this crappy, suturing technique?”

“Yes.”

“Only suturing techniques?”

“Yes.”

“No Transformers?”

“Yes.”

Ling Ran frowned. Unless this system had convinced him into thinking that it is dumb, it would most probably fail the Turing Test (a test to determine whether the subject is a man or a robot).

The few questions he had asked had been a classic sequence in the Turing Test. If faced with the same questions, regular human beings would most probably have said “I’ve already answered that question” or something like that, provided that they did not start cursing first. Only a script would repeat these routine yeses.

‘But, what if this thing is just feigning it?’ Ling Ran shook his head. With the limited resources he had in his hands, he really could not prove it either way. Even if he performed the complete Turing Test, those same doubts would still arise.

“Alright… But what a waste of such a good bomb shelter.” Ling Ran raised his head and looked at the sky, disappointed that the bomb shelter could not be used for anything better.

Upon his return to the dorm, his housemates came back from their dinner, but every one of them had their phones raised to take either selfies or pictures of each other.

Chen Wanhao was the first to see Ling Ran. He said a few words to him, and then lifted his phone.

“Ling Ran, hurry up and collect your white robe. They dug it out of some dingy storeroom and it’s more wrinkled up than an old cabbage. You can bring it to 306 to iron it out.”

“Goodness… is this really necessary?” Ling Ran looked at the medical students lying about in the room, still in their white robes. He sighed dejectedly.

“We’re going for our internship tomorrow—in an actual hospital. We should leave a good impression on others. The school’s white robes are wrinkled. If I don’t iron it, how am I supposed to wear them?” When Chen Wanhao spoke, he tilted his head at a 45-degree angle towards the sky, then his camera emitted an audible click.

“Where do I get the stethoscope?” Ling Ran pointed at the red stethoscope on Chen Wanhao’s neck.

Chen Wanhao laughed and said, “I bought it. It’s from 3M, it gives you super-hearing. Wanna try it?”

“The stethoscopes in the hospital aren’t up to your standards?”

“Interns are only given white robes, no stethoscopes.”

“And why is that, I wonder?” Ling Ran gave a sympathetic glance at Chen Wanhao. “Stethoscopes must be very expensive.”

Chen Wanhao blinked in surprise for a moment before he took them off sadly. “I sacrificed five foot spa sessions for this, and you’re telling me that I don’t get to use them? This red one burned a hole in my pocket.”

“I told you so. Stethoscopes are of no use; interns only need gloves.”

Wang Zhuangyong stretched out his hands that were already wrapped in white gloves, shaking them in an incessantly flamboyant manner.

Ling Ran refused to look at him any longer. He lowered his head and took out a banana from his drawer.

Wang Zhuangyong clicked his tongue twice. “Wow, that’s quite a size.”

Ling Ran silently used the surgical knife to cut through the banana peel. Wang Zhuangyong could not help but avert his gaze, saying, “Ling Ran, your suturing should be fine from all your practice, you don’t need to do any last minute preparations now.”

“I’m feeling particularly sharp today,” Ling Ran lied. He turned on the table lamp and took a 70cm Johnson Ethicon thread from the drawer.

This #00 thread was particularly abrasive. It got caught easily while trailing after the needle, and was relatively unwieldy. Many foreign medical schools recommended using it for practice. The only problem was that it was comparatively more expensive than the ones manufactured locally. It was not something many students could afford to practice with over an extended period of time.

Fortunately, Ling Ran’s family owned a clinic. They had some savings, and they understood the expenses of a medical student. They were happy to provide for him.

Ling Ran held the forceps in his left hand and controlled the needle holder with his right. The moment the head of the needle fell on the banana peel, countless bits of information jumped to the forefront of his mind. It all happened in a flash. Without a moment’s hesitation, he gave his wrist a deft flick and the needle passed through like it was liquid.

‘Get the needle in, get it out, tie the knot…’

Ling Ran had garnered a fair level of proficiency through his own practice. It was largely the reason why he did not find the ‘Master Level Appositional Suturing Technique’ particularly helpful.

In retrospect, Ling Ran may have been overestimating himself. His new insight only served to show him just how wet he was behind the ears. What once took him intense focus in the past now came to him subconsciously.

Throughout the entire process, the banana remained utterly still. His repeated actions of pushing the needle in and pulling it out did not move it in the slightest.

The distance between the two needles remained the same. One could use the most precise ruler available and still find nothing wrong. The knot had been executed to mechanical precision—even closely resembling industrialized embroidery.

The accuracy, precision, the mature judgment, the chosen angle and depth, the balanced and stable movements… It was something as simple as suturing, but executed at a level of mastery that transcended one’s wildest imaginations.

“F*ck me, you sewed that thing up so quickly!” Wang Zhuangyong suddenly appeared from behind Ling Ran, grabbing the big sutured banana with one hand. Then, as if he was surveying an art piece, he lifted it to his nose and scrutinized it.

Ling Ran suddenly felt the loneliness of a solitary master. ‘After everything that I did, all you have to say on it is the “speed”?’

[Please collect your newbie pack.]

This sentence popped up before Ling Ran’s eyes again at noon. At the same time, an icon shaped like a parcel kept flashing at the top right of his field of vision like a broken ambulance beacon.

Ling Ran quietly took out his notebook and made a note of it, but he did not give any response.

As a medical student, Ling Ran had a considerable amount of curiosity, but he could also exercise a sufficient amount of caution and self-control.

After obtaining this system in a baffling and confusing manner, Ling Ran immediately started making all sorts of records and tests on it.

…Because he first had to make sure that he was not crazy. And to avoid losing the graduation certificate he was about to receive, Ling Ran had to conduct the tests himself.

Ling Ran first chose the Davos Assessment of Cognitive Biases Scale. It was used to assess the cognitive biases of schizophrenics, especially those with delusional disorder. Moreover, it was a self-assessment.

There were a total of forty-two clauses and they all described the different attitudes and beliefs people held. The questions were asked in first person point of view, with one point to ‘strongly disagree’, and seven points to ‘strongly agree’.

It was very easy to complete the whole form and some of the clauses were also easily understandable.

For example, the first clause: I am on the lookout for danger.

The ninth clause: I am often not sure what people mean.

The twentieth clause: I make sure that all windows are locked.

The twenty-fifth clause: The first thoughts are the right ones.

The twenty-seventh clause: I do not go out after dark.

However, even though it was easy to complete the self-assessment form, it was rather troublesome to process it. It usually needed to be calculated with many types of formulae before the final tally could be obtained.

Besides, other than the assessment of cognitive biases scale, Ling Ran also did the Chinese version of the Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia Consensus Cognitive Battery, Peters et al.’s version of the Delusions Inventory, Haddock’s version of the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale which was used to determine whether psychosis was present, and how severe it was.

In short, Ling Ran needed a computer that was equipped with the relevant softwares to use data to determine his mental state.

Ling Ran quietly walked to the second floor of the school laboratory. When he knocked on the door, he heard the sound of someone walking inside. All of a sudden, the person stopped for a few seconds in front of the door before suddenly opening it.

“Junior Ling Ran, you’re here.” His senior sister wore a thin layer of lipstick and seemed to have applied blush on her face. Illuminated by the dim lighting, it was easy for others to recall the wolf impersonating the grandmother in Little Red Riding Hood when they saw her.

“Senior sister, sorry to trouble you again.” Ling Ran smiled calmly.

“It’s okay, no big deal.” The sight of him made his senior sister feel good. There was a miniature version of herself howling furiously in her mind. ‘The school hunk is so handsome, the school hunk looks so charming when he smiles…’

Ling Ran continued smiling.

The senior suddenly came to her senses, and immediately shifted her body away from the door. She spoke with a beaming face, “Come on in, I made you tea… No, I’ll make you tea. Oh yeah, how have you been?”

“Hmm? Quite healthy, why do you ask?” Ling Ran took note of this, but only paid a little attention to it.

“I heard that you did a CT scan and an MRI scan that day… Um, I just accidentally heard about it,” his senior sister said while preparing a tea bag.

A CT scan cost a few hundred RMB, while an MRI scan cost around two thousand RMB. As Ling Ran wanted to scan multiple parts of himself in one go, he naturally utilized the resources available to him and asked for the help of a female senior on the third floor. His aim was to make sure that there were no organic changes to his brain.

Ling Ran had also prepared an excuse long beforehand for this. He said calmly, “I wanted to write something, so I asked for Senior Lee’s help. You saw it? How was it?”

“It looks pretty good.” When she said that, his senior sister immediately corrected herself, “It is pretty good, you’re young and lively. There’s no problem.”

But his senior sister kept chastising herself internally, ‘Why did I casually talk like this?! Calling the MRI scan of someone’s brain good-looking? This makes it easier for him to think of you as a pervert! You are fated to be single forever!!’

“It’s good that there’s no problem. Hmm, senior sister, is this the machine?” Ling Ran pretended not to catch the nuances in her words and shifted his attention to the computer in the laboratory.

“Yes, it has the SPSS 20.0 statistical analysis software installed. As long as there’re enough data, we can make a diagnosis on schizophrenia based on the DSM-IV. The CQB, BDI, PDI and PSYRATS evaluations that you want are all not a problem…” When it came to her specialty, the senior could not stop talking. Immediately after that, his senior sister taught Ling Ran to use the software hands-on.

Every year, there would be undergraduates who came here to borrow machines and softwares, but Ling Ran was the only one who got to receive such careful guidance.

His senior sister was also very happy. She earnestly taught the school hunk how to use the software before reluctantly saying, “Then, please operate it by yourself. I’ll go outside first.”

It would not be nice for her to stay and look at the patient’s data.

“Alright, sorry to trouble you.” Ling Ran took it upon himself to sit down and focused his attention on the computer screen.

The senior left the laboratory, but she turned to look at him repeatedly at every step she took to leave the place. When the door was completely closed, Ling Ran got up and locked it before quietly taking out a thick stack of questionnaires from his backpack.

He completed these just recently. To prevent the effects of delusions or schizophrenia, Ling Ran even took videos and let his schoolmates check some of them.

It was not rare for medical students to conduct experiments on themselves, especially when it came to psychiatric assessments. Because no operation or injection was required, everyone liked to use themselves as their own guinea pigs.

Ling Ran entered the numbers and letters into the corresponding extensions according to what his senior sister taught him. He then checked them twice and clicked on the ‘run’ button.

The computer started running, making quiet whirrs. Even though there was only single digits in the table, after adding in the formulae and coefficients, the operand was quite large.

The creaking sound of the printer only came after a long time had passed. Ling Ran grabbed the piece of paper that came out of the printer. He looked first at the end result.

“Well… the standard value of the Davos Assessment of Cognitive Biases Scale should be 128.05±26.5. Mine is… 154. Phew, fortunately, I am still 0.55 points away from being mentally ill.”

Ling Ran happily stood up and decided to click on the newbie pack… but he stopped.

‘I probably need to find a secluded and safe place before doing something like this. What if there’s a Transformer in the pack? It would bring trouble to the country.’

Chapter 24: Sleep on the Bed or Sleep with Me, Choose One
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mo Jingshen remained calm, “Just idle words, no need to pay attention to them.”

Ji Nuan: “…”

She never said that she was going to pay attention to those baffling words.

“I didn’t scold you earlier because there were guests. The living room on the first floor is so chilly. You didn’t even put on a coat before coming down. Do you really plan for me to take a month of vacation to stay at home and watch you?” Mo Jingshen held onto her ice-cold hands; his tone slightly unkind.

“Cough, that, just now I took a glance at the document Assistant Shen brought over. It does seem rather important. Do you want to go to the office to settle it? I’ll…”

“You are the most important.”

“…”

Ji Nuan did not have the time to be moved by his words before she was brought upstairs. Without a coat, she was not even allowed to come downstairs.

Was this the stern husband that the legends spoke of?

—–

At night, Mo Jingshen went over to the main bedroom but did not see Ji Nuan.

He glanced towards the shut door of the bathroom. Although there was not much noise, the sound of water flowing into the tub could be heard.

He raised his wrist, glancing at the time.

After more than ten minutes, Ji Nuan still did not exit.

Ji Nuan indeed sat in the tub bathing. The water was hot, and after soaking for a while, her eyes became somewhat dazed, distantly glancing at the mist in the air.

In her mind, Mo Peilin’s voice rang once more, “The woman that is really in his heart has already…”

Those kinds of words…

Mo Peilin should have been making things up when she said that, right?

After all, in the entirety of her two lives, the Mo Jingshen she saw has always treated her well. Not only could she see it with her eyes, but she could also feel it with her heart.

Also, back then, for the sake of looking for reasons to cancel the wedding, she had already attempted to look into Mo Jingshen’s history. She had spent more than a month hiring others to investigate him in the dark.

Mo Jingshen was unpredictable, mysterious, and private. The number of bodyguards he had was also rather large, making it hard for her to find opportunities.

However, at the end of a lengthy investigation, what she found was that many women were chasing after him, loving him, and hoping to marry him. For the sake of meeting him, one even attempted to use suicide to threaten him. These women were celebrities of great family backgrounds and female idols that were high on the social hierarchy.

Yet, Mo Jingshen never once gave those women any opportunities. Even if they attempted to use death to threaten him, he still remained calm, giving them no attention whatsoever.

In front of women, he has always maintained an indifferent and suitable distance, making him difficult to understand and even harder to approach. His self-control and composure were remarkably restrained.

No!

That night he tortured her so much to the point that her voice became hoarse. Even then, he still did not let her off!

And yesterday, even though her fever was so high, he still managed to have a reaction!

Restrained my ass!

The bathroom door suddenly opened. Ji Nuan who was currently leaning against the tub in a daze looked up in surprise.She stared at the long-legged man who had directly walked in with shock.

Before the mist, the man’s tall silhouette was somewhat difficult to look at.

She blinked her eyes before returning back to her spirits, finally noticing that she had stayed in the tub for too long. She was so stunned that her reaction was somewhat slow.

“What are you doing? I’m showering.”

Her long wet hair was spread out across her back, like black seaweed. The little droplets of water on her face reflected the bathroom lights.

Mo Jingshen only glanced at her for a second before pulling over a bath towel and fishing her out of the tub. Ji Nuan did not even have the opportunity to protest before she was already wrapped in a bundle.

Without saying a word, he brought her out.

“Mo Jingshen, I’m showering. Why did you suddenly enter…”

“I already gave you nearly twenty minutes. Soaking in hot water for so long, do you want to faint in there again?”

Ji Nuan heard that his tone was unkind but could not understand why he was suddenly losing his temper.

She furrowed her brows. “Then you could have just called me from outside…”

Mo Jingshen placed her on the bed, tugging off the towel on her body.

Ji Nuan’s body suddenly felt cold. Realizing that she was not wearing anything, she rushed to roll around the bed and wrapped herself up in the sheets.

“Didn’t you ask me to help you bathe yesterday?” Mo Jingshen threw her towel to the side.

“But I can do it myself today…”

Mo Jingshen acted as though he did not hear anything, tugging the sheets on her body down. Due to his sudden overbearing behavior, Ji Nuan was at a complete loss as to what to do.

Could it be that because he could not sleep well last night, seeing that she was feeling better today, he was trying to seek recompense?

Mo Jingshen opened the blankets and placed her in it, calmly speaking, “Ji Nuan, trust is the most important factor between couples. No one’s empty words should be able to affect your emotions.”

His words were too calm. Ji Nuan glanced towards his light and clear expression.

Earlier on, when she was in the bathroom, she did overthink about the things she should not have thought about…

Could Mo Jingshen read minds? Or could he easily understand other people’s hearts?

“Don’t want to sleep? Are you fully healed?”

“…”

“If you don’t wish to sleep, why don’t we do other things.”

Ji Nuan’s hands that were placed on the blanket could not help but retreat slightly, “No! Not completely healed yet…”

Mo Jingshen bent over, reaching over to lift her chin and gaze at her.

Ji Nuan was just about to speak when he used the opportunity to lean down and kissed her.

The surprisingly deep kiss caused her to become somewhat dizzy. Only when her unclothed body shrunk backward under the blanket did he gently bite her lips, whispering next to it, “Sleep on the bed or sleep with me, choose one.”

With a whoosh sound, Ji Nuan rushed to cover the blanket all the way to her head.

Of course, she will sleep on the bed!

Such an abruptly overbearing Mo Jingshen, she was afraid that she would not be able to take it.

——

When she woke up, the sunlight spread across the bed warmly. She glanced toward the window while blinking and then picked up the phone to look at the time.

Mo Jingshen always woke up earlier than her. At this time, he should have already gone to the company. Yesterday, he specially stayed to accompany her, but this afternoon the company had a fixed weekly meeting.

After resting for two days at home, she was in good spirits as she went to wash up.

When she returned to the bedroom to change, the phone that was placed by the pillow rang. She walked over to glance at it and found that it was a call from the Ji family.

Without trying hard, she guessed that her dad should have received the news.

Otherwise, based on his smelly and strong temper, he would not have called her for no reason.

“I heard that you bought two companies from Han Tianyuan?”

“En.” Ji Nuan felt somewhat dazed after not hearing her father’s voice for a long time.

“Such a big issue, why didn’t you discuss it with the family? Han Tianyuan, that trash, he has never known how to do business! Right now, business property is not flourishing within the country. The two companies in his hands are on the brink of bankruptcy! Yet, you spent thirty million yuan for it. Such a company is not even worth one million yuan!”

“Dad, wait for me to return home before we discuss this issue.” Ji Nuan’s tone was calm. On the phone, she did not wish to argue about such things.

Chapter 23: After All, the Woman That He Truly Keeps in His Heart Has Already…
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Mo Corporation is a listed company and often participates in other projects. If the CEO’s secretary cannot even translate such a simple document, just by sitting by the computer and drinking tea, how could she become a secretary?”

“If our Jia Xue cannot be the CEO’s secretary, are you trying to say that a twenty-year-old brainless brat like you are able to?” Mo Peilin was angry to the point where her words no longer made sense. “You’re just relying on the fact that Jing Shen spoils you and protects you! Otherwise, you would not have the qualifications to do it at all!”

“Aunt, don’t be so rash with your words. Earlier on, I simply took myself as an example. Although I studied overseas, my father felt that my abilities weren’t strong enough and arranged for me to further my studies in finance within the country. However, I’ve been dragging it until now without completing it, and I’ve never officially graduated. In addition, my age is indeed not good. I definitely won’t make use of Mo Jingshen’s wife’s position to mix into the company. The Mo Corporation isn’t a place where any ugly person can enter. What do you say?”

Ji Nuan smiled happily as she explained.

On the other hand, Mo Peilin was mad to the point where her face was white.

What ugly person! She actually said that her precious daughter was ugly!

“Jing Shen! Look exactly what you’ve brought into the Mo family! She used such an attitude to speak to an elder!” Mo Peilin’s anger was not light.

Mo Jingshen calmly curved his lips, looking calm. “Everything she said was what I wanted to say. Nothing is incorrect.”

“You! You…” Mo Peilin’s eyes were filled with rage. “Jing Shen! When Jia Xue visited the Mo family when she was young, you always took care of her! Why is it that with these kinds of issues you are helping an outsider? What medicine did Ji Nuan give to you? She…”

Hearing this, Mo Jingshen’s expression did not change but in an instant he removed any close relation they could have had with the Mo family.

“In the Mo family, I am the host, and you are the guests. Rather than taking care, I was simply fulfilling the basic conduct of being a host,” he calmly said.

They kept mentioning the Mo family, but aside from having the Mo surname, were there any areas where they were related to Hai Cheng’s Mo family?

All they wanted was a stable pillar in Hai Cheng which was why they kept clinging to the most reliable foundation of the Mo family.

“Mom, let’s just leave…” From the document, Mo Peilin could tell that her chances of obtaining the role of the CEO’s secretary were indeed small. She already felt somewhat ashamed and could only whisper to Mo Peilin.

She was but a naive student who had just graduated from university. On the other hand, regardless of how Ji Nuan was insulted, she stood firmly by Mo Jingshen’s side complimenting him so well. Her hand was held in his from start to finish. Her face was also perfect.

Perhaps because Ji Nuan had received the highest level of education since young, regardless of what circumstances she was faced with, her performance was still calm and confident. Her temperament was not something any other girl could compare to. This caused Mo Jiaxue to feel even more inferior. She wanted to leave quickly to prevent from being insulted any further.

“We’re not leaving! Why do you have to leave? We haven’t cleared this up!” Mo Peilin raged. “Ji Nuan’s surname is not Mo! Who does she think she is? Let the Mo family be the judge!”

Mo Jiaxue felt embarrassed by her mother who was pestering them endlessly and tried to use force to pull her out but could not move her. In the end, she could only stay silent with red eyes.

“Madam, I’ll send you back to your room to rest. It’s too noisy here.” Auntie Chen received Mo Jingshen’s eye signal and rushed forward to whisper by Ji Nuan’s ear.

Ji Nuan did not move. Her eyes met Mo Peilin’s. Just as she was about to speak, Mo Jingshen squeezed her hands.

Mo Jingshen spoke calmly, “Ji Nuan is my wife. Her surname isn’t Mo? How did Aunt come to this conclusion?”

Mo Peilin choked, freezing for a moment before arguing mindlessly, “At the end of the day, you will still get a divorce!”

Mo Jingshen leaned to the side, holding Ji Nuan’s hands, but his words were directed towards Mo Peilin. As though pouring cold water over her, his tone was as cold as ice, “I respect you as an elder and did not humiliate you. Watch your words and don’t cross the line, if not, in the future, I may not be as kind.”

Regardless of silhouette, looks, background or his cold, quiet aura, the feeling that Mo Jingshen gave others was always calm, yet at the same time, it made it difficult for others to breathe.

Seeing that Mo Jingshen was truly angry, although it could not be seen from the surface, the tension in the air did become cold. Mo Peilin could not help feeling a shiver running down her spine…

Ji Nuan watched this man who kept on protecting her. Her heartbeat increased.

She did not care much about the nonsense spouted by this woman. But Mo Jingshen’s protection made her feel as though she was safely kept within his wings. It was warm and secure.

“You’ve really grown up. Now you’ve learned to bully us, mother and daughter…” Mo Peilin suddenly sounded as though she had been wronged, her voice weakening.

Mo Jingshen’s voice remained cold. “You won’t leave when we ask you to. Do you want to be thrown out?”

“Mom, even if we speak anymore there is nothing of benefit to us.” Mo Jiaxue tugged on Mo Peilin’s sleeves. “Don’t mention about Ji Nuan and cousin’s divorce anymore. Their relationship seems very good. Saying this kind of words, we are clearly in the wrong.”

Mo Peilin gritted her teeth, lowering her voice to reply, “Stupid brat, what nonsense are you saying? Is your weak ambition beaten down after seeing how impressive they are?”

How was this nonsense?

Mo Jiaxue raised her head and saw that Ji Nuan’s hands were continuously held in Mo Jingshen’s. The feeling that no one would be able to interfere was too evident.

Mo Jingshen never seemed like an emotional person. Today he actually got angry from protecting Ji Nuan… If they kept arguing any further, don’t even mention the Yu Garden, they may not even be able to enter the Mo family door anymore.

Mo Peilin was not stupid. She could see that this situation was not favorable for her. It was fine to offend Ji Nuan, but if because of this they offended the Mo family, then the consequences would not be very good in the future.

Before Mo Peilin tugged her daughter out off the door, she added on unhappily, “Ji Nuan, don’t be happy too early! Jing Shen is not as simple as you think. You may think that he treats you well, spoils you and protects you. But isn’t it all for the sake of benefitting from your family? After all, the woman that is really in his heart has already…”

“Mom!” Mo Jiaxue saw Mo Jingshen’s gaze and froze in fear, busily cutting off her words and dragging her away.

The door opened and closed. The loud “peng” sound of the door slamming shut was shocking, and because of this, Ji Nuan paused in surprise.

Chapter 22: The Pavilion Closest to The Water Enjoys Moonlight First
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although the issue of Ji Nuan constantly demanding for a divorce had never spread outside, everyone in the Mo family knew about it.

As though she was putting herself in his shoes, Mo Peilin considerately said,” Jing Shen, don’t be too offended by Aunt’s words. I’m just feeling upset on your behalf…”

Mo Jingshen gently held Ji Nuan’s hand in his. She knew intuitively what he was trying to say and because of that, she was barely affected by Mo Peilin’s words. She smiled with both her lips and her brows. “You must have misunderstood something. Previously, I did have some arguments with Jing Shen, and because of that we had a cold war for some period, but that was it. Besides, the issues between us as a couple, even our parents are not interfering, don’t you feel that you are stretching your hands too far?”

“You…”

Mo Peilin thought that Ji Nuan was relying on the fact that Mo Jingshen was here to act out of line, but she never thought she would go so far! To think that she would insult her right before her face!

“Ji Nuan is still ill. She needs absolute quiet in order to rest.” Mo Jingshen paid no mind to Mo Peilin’s choked expression. “If you came here just to have a peaceful walk, unfortunately, we won’t be able to entertain you.”

“Mom.” Mo Jiaxue who sat by Mo Peilin’s side carefully tugged on her hands, quietly speaking, “Don’t talk about that anymore… Let’s talk business.”

“Hmph, since young his character has been that of a cold mountain. I only lectured Ji Nuan for a bit, yet he protected her so much.” Mo Peilin glared at Ji Nuan harshly.

“Take care. We won’t send you off.” Mo Jingshen no longer looked at them, tugging Ji Nuan’s hand to stand up.

The signal to chase them off was too obvious. Mo Peilin rushed to speak up, “Wait! I have serious business to talk about! Jing Shen, Jia Xue is also considered your younger cousin. This year, she graduated from Hai University Business School, and her ability in various areas is very good. I heard that your secretary’s position is still empty. Let Jia Xue give it a try; how about it?”

“I don’t agree!” Ji Nuan’s eyes turned cold as she subconsciously spoke up.

Mo Peilin glared at her. Her eyes were filled with unhappiness. “You don’t agree? What right do you have to disagree? The one I asked was Jing Shen!”

How could Ji Nuan not see through her intentions?

Each line insinuated that she was unsuitable for Mo Jingshen. Was it not all for the sake of looking for an opportunity to push her daughter to his side, to be at the pavilion closest to the water to enjoy the moonlight first?

Mo Peilin had a divorced when she was very young, so her daughter took her surname. But at the end of the day, she could not be considered part of the Mo family. She was just a normal distant relative. But, if they could add a marriage on top of that, especially an alliance with Mo Jingshen, in the future they would not have to try very hard to hold onto the relationship with Elder Mo.

Of course, Ji Nuan would not give them such an opportunity. “Aunt, the Mo Corporation is not any other company. The people in each department are carefully selected. The position of the CEO’s secretary, how can it be given to whomever you want to give?”

“Anyway, the position of Jing Shen’s secretary is empty! They can’t possibly find someone so quickly! It won’t hurt anyone to let Jia Xue go!” She really was a busybody. Mo Peilin felt more hatred against Ji Nuan!

Ji Nuan looked as though she had heard something rather interesting and smiled. “Your daughter graduated at the age of 23 from Hai University Business School. When I was 18 years old, I had already received a good ranking from America’s MIT Finance School. If we are comparing, don’t you think I am even more suitable?”

“I believe that cousin’s company will prioritize ability.” Hearing this, Jia Xue abruptly stood up, pushing the glasses that sat on her nose while shoving a few words in.

Her gaze fixated on Mo Jingshen. After staring for a while, she could not stop her face from turning red. The pure, secret love and the self-conscious anticipation could not be hidden from her face.

“That’s right! Ji Nuan, don’t act like you are capable! I bet the Ji family bought that position. Right now, your age is not small. You’re already 20-plus-years-old yet you don’t have any work experience. Lazing about all day is the most suitable for you!” Mo Peilin swept a mocking glance at her.

At this moment, Mo Jingshen’s handphone rang.

After two minutes, he hung up. Ji Nuan tilted her head at him to ask, “Is there something important that needs you back at the company?”

“No, just a document that needs approval from me. Shen Mu will send it the Yu Garden before five o’clock,” as Mo Jingshen spoke, his hand did not move away from hers while the other hand was casually placed into his suit pocket. He glanced coldly at Mo Peilin who stood at the side as well as Mo Jiaxue whose face was red.

“The Mo Corporation indeed does value ability. But from what I know, Mo Jiaxue’s graduation thesis was completed by paying others to write it. Her examination scores were also unremarkable.” His voice was cold and calm. While no mocking could be heard, it did not give the other party any opportunity to continue arguing.

Mo Jiaxue’s expression froze. “I…”

Mo Peilin rushed to protect her daughter. “Aiya! My daughter would never do such a thing! Jing Shen, don’t listen to whatever you hear! Jia Xue’s results are excellent!”

Mo Jingshen coldly curved his lips but did not look at them. He only looked at Ji Nuan. “Tired?”

Ji Nuan shook her head. “Don’t worry. I’m not tired.”

—-

Shen Mu’s speed was fast. The document arrived before it was even five o’clock.

Mo Peilin continued to look for various topics to speak about, unwilling to leave. Seeing the document arrive, she rushed to receive it from the door and then handed it to Mo Jiaxue.

Under Mo Jingshen’s cold eyes, Mo Jiaxue glanced at the document in her hands.

After one look, she was stunned.

This… was all in English!

And it was the most challenging level of English! All the different complicated terminologies caused her eyes to blur.

“Why do you look so stunned? Pass it to your cousin!” Mo Peilin signaled with her eyes, asking her to use this opportunity to perform well.

Mo Jiaxue paused for a moment. She was somewhat embarrassed and unwilling to look at Mo Jingshen in the eyes as she passed him the document.

Mo Jingshen did not receive it, speaking apathetically, “Didn’t you want to prove your own ability? Translate the first page out loud. I’ll listen.”

“Ah? F-first page…” Mo Jiaxue was embarrassed. She raised her eyes to glance at him but was frightened by Mo Jingshen’s cold eyes.

It was a difficult English document, how could she translate it…

Even when she was working as an intern, she did not participate in the interviews… Such a document was extremely unfamiliar to her…

All of a sudden, a smooth white hand reached out, taking the document from her. Mo Jiaxue saw her actions and wanted to speak up, but she held it in.

She could not even recognize these words. Could Ji Nuan who was always lazing about be able to?

“What document is this?” Ji Nuan casually flipped through and glanced at it, easily reading out the English at the front and then used the most simple and accurate words to translate out the important contents in the document. After finishing, she glanced towards Mo Jiaxue whose face had turned bright red. “It can’t be that you can’t even recognize these simple words?”

Mo Jiaxue was struck dumb, how could she forget, Ji Nuan previously studied abroad for many years!

Seeing the situation, Mo Peilin rushed to push her daughter behind her, glaring at Ji Nuan with an unhappy face. “Jia Xue graduated in a university within the country. Isn’t it normal that she cannot understand English? You went overseas to study in your teen years; what’s the point of being proud about understanding a bit of English?”

Chapter 21: This Is the Yu Garden, Not the Mo Family Home
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The afternoon had just passed. Under Mo Jingshen’s supervision, Ji Nuan ate another dose of medicine. Although she no longer had a fever, she had to take another pill for her cold.

This caused her to sleep again in the afternoon. By the time she woke up, the sky was still bright, but it was already almost evening.

The room was quiet. Ji Nuan got up to leave the room but could not find Mo Jingshen. She thought he would be in the study room and went there, but she still did not see him.

“Madam, you are awake.” The helper heard some noise and walked over. “Are you looking for Mr. Mo?”

Ji Nuan turned back to see the helper. Not only could she not find Mo Jingshen, Auntie Chen was also not around.

“Mo Jingshen went to the office?”

Could it be that there was something urgent that had to be dealt with in the office?

“Mr. Mo is receiving guests downstairs.”

“Guests?”

Aside from Ji Mengran who frequently came, usually there were no friends or relatives that would visit.

The Ji family and the elders from the Mo family had also not visited in the past six months. If they wanted to see them, they would usually phone them and ask them to return home rather than coming to the Yu Garden themselves.

So, who were the guests who suddenly arrived?

However, since there were guests, Ji Nuan who was currently ill and still dressed in her pajamas was not suitable to meet them. She saw that the helper had turned to busy herself with work, so she returned to the room to change. After cleaning herself up to appear better, she walked back out.

As she walked down the stairs, she had yet to see the guests and could only hear a woman’s voice, “Jing Shen, you should be very busy right now, aren’t you? Recently, you haven’t been returning to the Mo family home as often. Aiya! There are still so many things waiting to be handed over to you at home, yet you insisted on setting up a business of your own. You child, the Mo family still has a business in America that needs…”

That voice suddenly stopped because of Ji Nuan. The nagging, concerned voice suddenly changed to a ridiculing tone. “The eldest Miss Ji has finally awakened? She really has been spoiled from a young age. It’s bad enough that she’s always lazing about at home without working, but she actually wakes up so late each day. She really doesn’t know what it’s like to suffer at all. What a spoiled princess!”

“She’s ill. I was the one who let her sleep until now after taking her medicine.”

Ji Nuan recognized the person and walked over. “Aunt, I’m sorry. The helper did not tell me that you came.”

This was Mo Jingshen’s aunt, Mo Peilin. She was a daughter from Grandfather Mo’s younger brother’s family. She could only be considered a distant relative. However, those of Grandfather Mo’s generation were all very close, so the younger generation all set up their lives in Hai Cheng and would often meet at various Mo family gatherings.

Mo Peilin seemed as though she did not hear Ji Nuan’s voice, only glancing at her coldly.

“Regardless of which family’s precious princess she is, since she has entered the Mo family, she cannot treat it as her own home. She doesn’t even know any rules or manners. Jing Shen ah, you need to be stricter with her. You can’t keep giving in to her.”

Mo Jingshen expression became distant. “This is the Yu Garden, not the Mo family home. She doesn’t need to abide by any rules.”

“That won’t do! Even if it’s not the olden days anymore, if the Mo family’s daughter-in-law remains so childish and is always being so lazy, that’s too much!”

Mo Jingshen smiled coldly, ignoring her unkind words. Seeing Ji Nuan stand there without moving, he spoke softly, “Won’t you be tired standing there? Come here and sit down.”

Ji Nuan smiled, obediently walking over. Right before the eyes of Mo Peilin, she sat right next to him.

Seeing them sit so closely, Mo Peilin’s expression suddenly became uglier.

Her daughter, Mo Jiaxue, who sat by her side looked away. Her expression was unhappy.

Auntie Chen brought over some of the excellent tea previously taken from the Mo family. Under Mo Jingshen’s signal, she also left the hot water on the tea table.

“Feeling better?” Mo Jingshen poured some hot water for Ji Nuan. She still had a cold, and it was not suitable for her to drink tea.

“This entire day, aside from eating, I only slept. I really feel better now.” Ji Nuan smiled and sat by his side, acting as though she did not notice the ugly expressions on this mother-daughter pair.

“So you actually know that besides eating, all you do is sleep? Always enjoying without doing any work! Jing Shen has already been married to you for two years, yet you’ve never once returned to the Mo family home. Those who don’t know would think that our Jing Shen is still single.” Mo Peilin who had been ignored for half a day rolled her eyes. “Miss Ji is really delicate. You’ve just fallen a little sick and Jing Shen has to put down his work to focus on taking care of you.”

Ji Nuan turned to look at her. “Aunt, between now till Mo Grandfather’s 80th birthday there is still more than a week. I’m preparing to go and see him on his birthday.”

“It’s Elder Mo’s birthday; if you still don’t show up, from now on you won’t need to go through the Mo family’s door anymore!”

Ji Nuan did not seem affected as she lifted her beautiful brows. Her voice slow and calm as she said, “Normally, the elderly already seem so busy. Going back less, isn’t it for the sake of letting them have more peaceful and quiet times?”

Mo Peilin’s expression froze. Her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

Ji Nuan’s words meant that all these people who were barely related to Grandfather Mo were constantly looking for opportunities to hold onto the Mo family’s big thigh, causing Grandfather Mo to have no time for peace and quiet?

“Ah! It’s true that you should go back less. It saves the Mo family from having to look at your face!” Mo Peilin’s expression was ugly; her tone was also sharp. “Who knows what curse Jing Shen is under. He actually fell for you!”

Due to Mo Peilin’s tone and words against Ji Nuan, Mo Jingshen’s brows furrowed. His expression turned instantly cold.

Mo Peilin’s voice raised by several decibels. “Back then you didn’t know how to tell good from the bad. During the wedding, your attitude was so terrible. After being married for so long there is still no news of any children. I think you don’t intend to live a good life with Jing Shen at all! Then, why are you still holding onto the title of Mrs. Mo? Hurry up and divorce, and let our Jing Shen get his freedom back! The number of women who wish to marry him is extremely high! In such a big Hai Cheng, there are several hundred thousand of well-bred women more suitable for him!”

Mo Jingshen abruptly opened his mouth, his tone extremely cold, “Auntie Chen, send off the guests.”

The coldness and slight anger could be heard from his voice. Ji Nuan did not speak, but placed her hand in his, gently pressing against his palm. The meaning was that she would not take these words to heart.

Mo Peilin did not intend to leave. She sat on the sofa refusing to move. “Jing Shen, I haven’t finished speaking! Today, I specially made a trip to the Mo Corporation. In the end, they said you didn’t even show up for work! Since you decided to set up your own business, your company should be more important. Yet, you’re staying at home to take care of Ji Nuan!”

“What is important and what is not, I’m well aware of it. There’s no need for Aunt to worry.” Mo Jingshen’s voice remained cold, the initial politeness he maintained was gone.

“Originally, as an elder, I didn’t want to speak such ugly words, but isn’t it just a cold and fever? It isn’t some serious illness, is there a need to accompany her? I think that her feelings toward you are definitely not as strong as yours are for her!”

Chapter 20: Feed Her Full
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In front of the small shop, the queue was extremely long. Mo Jingshen did not send anyone to buy for him, nor did he ask anyone to go to the front and cut the line.

Around 40 minutes later, the glutinous rice ball soup that Ji Nuan wanted was finally bought.

Seeing that Mo Jingshen was about to leave, the two girls hid by the tree at the side while appearing lovesick. “Mo Jingshen actually stood so patiently to queue for this kind of food! I eat the same kind of food as my male god, ah!”

“… As if, didn’t you see that he bought more than one person’s portion? It’s likely that he didn’t buy it for himself.”

“He really did buy a lot! This kind of sweet dessert that only girls like, who did he buy it for?”

“The great Mo Jingshen put in so much thought and effort to come and queue for such a thing; it’s definitely for a woman! You say, could it be that CEO Mo has some other woman outside?”

“That shouldn’t be… Do you remember the news on Zhou Yanyan this morning? I heard that it happened because last night Zhou Yanyan said some nasty things in front of Mrs. Mo and offended CEO Mo. At that time, many people were watching! Everyone said it was the first time they ever saw CEO Mo himself. They never thought that he would dote on his wife so much. I suspect that rice ball soup was bought for his wife. That Ji family’s eldest daughter, what on earth did she do in her past life to gather so much good luck…”

“En? That’s not right. My best friend is quite close to the Ji family’s second daughter. She heard from her that there is no love between her sister and her husband. It’s very likely that they will get a divorce soon! She even said that because of this the Ji family is always worried and that the Ji eldest daughter doesn’t know how to treasure what she has~.”

“What’s the use of hearing? The truth is right before our eyes! Do you have the Ji family’s second daughter’s number? Quickly tell her! This can be considered sharing some news! With this, we might be able to become close to her, and from now on, we may be considered friends of a rich family!”

“Yes, yes, yes, I’ll look for the number…”

At the Ji family home.

Ji Mengran tossed and turned on the bed. The blanket and pillows were all thrown on the floor by her in a fit of rage.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She scanned the screen with impatience. Seeing that it was an unknown number, she glanced at it suspiciously for a moment before picking up.

After listening to the phone call, Ji Mengran’s expression became even uglier. She directly hung up the phone.

Mo Jingshen actually lowered himself to go queue for a bowl of rice ball soup for Ji Nuan.

He even went there personally!

Usually, Mo Jingshen was busy at the office to the point where every minute he had was precious. However, he actually spent so much time to go queue for her!

Since when did Ji Nuan become so delicate. The things that she wanted to eat, she even needed to send Mo Jingshen to buy. She was really shameless!

No! She needed to clear things up with Mo Jingshen!

Ji Nuan’s recent changes were very abnormal. She had to make sure Mo Jingshen was alert. She could not let things be, could not let Ji Nuan possess him so completely.

Ji Mengran refused to admit defeat. She picked up her phone and searched for Mo Jingshen’s private number, refusing to believe that the phone was still with Ji Nuan.

“Sorry, the number you have just dialed is unavailable right now. Please try again later.”

Ji Mengran furrowed her brows. There was a bad feeling in her heart, so she rushed to call again.

Even after calling for several times, it was the same message coming through! It was as though there was a barrier she could not go through!

Ji Mengran was frantic and frustrated!

No matter if he was on the way back to the Yu Garden, or if he was still at the Yu Garden, the reception should not be that poor. That it happened so many times in a row could only mean one thing. He had blacklisted her number!

———

“Madam, you only ate such a small bowl, will you be full?” Auntie Chen saw that Ji Nuan’s appetite was quite good, but she only ate a small bowl before putting it down. She could not help but nag at her to eat more.

Ji Nuan had yet to reply when Mo Jingshen came back.

When Auntie Chen saw the things Mo Jingshen held in his hand, she could not help but smile.

No wonder earlier on when Madam was eating, her eyes kept looking outside. So, Mr. Mo went out personally to buy her some food.

Auntie Chen busied herself with keeping the food, nagging a couple more times before rushing out of the room.

Ji Nuan sat on the bed and watched Mo Jingshen as he walked through the door. He placed the bag of food he bought on the table near the bed, opening it and uncovering the soup.

“You bought it? Did you queue for a long time? Earlier on, I only ate a little bit of breakfast to save space for it.” Smelling it, Ji Nuan stood up and leaned close.

The fragrant and lightly sweet scent lingered in the air. The taste that she had not had in ten years; just smelling it alone felt very sweet in her heart.

“Not very long. You like to eat this sort of thing?” Mo Jingshen did not pass her the spoon. After helping her open it, he glanced at her.

Seeing her lean so close as though she really wanted to have it, he could not help a small smile.

“The Ji family is so strict. I rarely have the opportunity to eat things like these. I had the opportunity to try it twice and ever since then I kept wanting to have this taste again.” Ji Nuan said while smelling it again, stretching her hand towards the top of the bowl to fan the scent over.

“Don’t burn yourself. Go sit down,” Mo Jingshen said lightly.

Ji Nuan sat back on the bed obediently. She initially thought that Mo Jingshen wanted to let the soup chill a bit before giving it to her. She never thought that he would pour some out into a separate bowl and, after letting it chill for two minutes, he walked over and raised the spoon to her lips.

“Here, it’s not hot anymore.”

She glanced at him in surprise.

However, after a moment, under his gaze, she opened her mouth and ate it.

So sweet, so warm .

It was as though pink bubbles had appeared in her heart because of this sweet and warm taste.

After he fed another bite and Ji Nuan ate it, she rushed to say, “I can feed myself.”

“The wound on your head hasn’t even healed, and you’ve already gotten a severe fever. Letting you eat something so hot on your own, what if you burn your hand. I think I would have to arrange a nanny to watch you 24 hours to feel at ease,” as he spoke, he fed her another bite.

The temperature of every bite that Mo Jingshen fed her was just right and a little soup always accompanied the rice ball. It was not too much soup, and although it was sweet, it was not sickening.

“Twenty-four hours nanny? Would that be a robot or a demon that doesn’t sleep?” Ji Nuan chewed on the rice ball. “Also, am I that unreliable? I’m just eating something, how would I burn myself.”

Mo Jingshen’s lips curved. He stuffed another bite in her mouth. “The number of times you were unreliable are too many to count.”

Ji Nuan’s mouth was stuffed full, and she could not reply. She tried to open her mouth but had to stop because of Mo Jingshen’s gaze.

“Eat, don’t speak.”

“… You’re doing this on purpose… Uu.”

This guy was too black-bellied. He didn’t want her to speak, so he fed her so much. She had just opened her mouth, and he stuffed another bite in.

How many sets of rice bowl soup did he buy? In one bowl there are only four small rice balls. Could it be that he bought several tens of bowls to feed her full…

Chapter 19: We Actually Saw the Male God in Such a Place
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Inside the main bedroom.

“Crunch, crunch…”

Ji Nuan listened to the sound of chewing through the phone, feeling helpless yet amused.

“Nuan Nuan, you didn’t even forget to nag me in the message you sent me earlier, asking me not to contact the guy who injured me. What on earth is going on? Do you know that person?” Xia Tian chewed on an apple, asking in confusion.

“Anyway, he is not a good person; just stay away from him.” On this issue, Ji Nuan was very insistent.

“Ooh~. From your tone, it sounds like he is extremely bad.”

“Very bad! Bad to death! He can even be called the ultimate bad man! So you definitely cannot get close to him!”

“Cough, cough, don’t be agitated! If I ever see him again, I’ll turn around and walk away~. Will that do?” Xia Tian said as though she was trying to coax her. “I promise to keep my distance from him!”

Ji Nuan smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes.

That bastard who caused Xia Tian to not even be at peace in her death, in this lifetime, had better not show up in front of her again.

Xia Tian finished her apple and wiped her mouth. She turned to the television in the room. “Just now, the news broadcast was very interesting. Previously, at one of the parties, there was a person who kept finding problems with you—Zhou Yanyan. The one who has a huge ego, do you remember?”

“Why are you mentioning her?”

They had just met yesterday. Toward such a person, Ji Nuan was lazy even to bring her up, but she never expected that Xia Tian would suddenly mention her.

“Didn’t you see the news? Yesterday, at Hai Cheng Square, Zhou Yanyan wore a bikini and pole danced for three hours! It was as though she had taken too many drugs and gotten too high! The number of people who gathered to watch was considerable. She was immediately taken away by the police after that! Also, the news that she was featured in wasn’t some simple media entertainment gossip outlet, but the official government business news! Ha, I really laughed to death!”

“… She really went to dance?”

“Of course! Earlier on the television, they even showed several pictures taken from afar! One glance and you can tell it’s Zhou Yanyan!”

“Ah, she deserves it.”

“Why do I feel like you know more about this? Anyway, that Zhou Yanyan’s mouth is smelly to the point where there were several times when I felt like giving her a few slaps! Now, she has received the appropriate retribution! She deserves to be embarrassed! I just don’t know what on earth did she take to become so crazy~. Aiya, the hospital is really boring. There are barely any news coming in. I can only watch the television~.”

Ji Nuan smiled, “God is watching everyone’s actions. Her embarrassment are but the consequences of her own act.”

While speaking, Ji Nuan picked up the remote controller, turning towards the crystal display screen in the tea room in the other corner.

Having found the Hai Cheng news station, the story about Zhou Yanyan’s pole dancing had already ended. Now, they were showing the scene of the Zhou family being surrounded by the media.

Considering Zhou Yanyan’s father’s temper, he was most likely already about to explode. His own daughter had embarrassed herself to the point where the whole Hai Cheng knew. She was even suspected of having taken drugs, leading to her actions of pole dancing while wearing so little. These were all news headlines that would make it difficult for him to face anyone.

Even if the Zhou family wrecked their brains, they still could not be considered one of the top families in Hai Cheng. Nonetheless, their influence was not small. However, after such an incident, the Zhou family’s company stocks would most likely fall.

Such a butterfly effect, Zhou Yanyan herself could never have seen it coming.

“Nuan Nuan, her issue is not related to you, is it?” Xia Tian suddenly asked.

“Why do you ask?”

“I heard that the Zhou family has people behind them and that they are all shady people. You definitely cannot be involved in this. Otherwise, if they were to use dirty methods, they would be difficult to deal with.”

Ji Nuan recalled the resentful expression in Zhou Yanyan’s eyes yesterday and smiled lightly. “Don’t worry. So long as there is the Ji family, no matter what tricks they choose to use, there are not many people that can touch me.”

“That is true. If they want to touch you, not only do they have to consider the Ji family’s reputation, they also have to consider that the Mo family is not easy to deal with.” Xia Tian clicked her tongue while she said, “Tsk tsk, your biggest support is Mo Jingshen. If you still don’t learn to hold onto your husband’s thigh tightly, one day, if he were to be stolen by someone else, you would definitely cry!”

Ji Nuan smiled. “Don’t worry; his thigh will only have me. There is no space for anyone who wishes to hold onto it~.”

Mo Jingshen stood outside the door. When he heard, “will only have me,” his lips curved. He brought out his phone and his long fingers dialed a number.

He walked towards the hallway. His deep and calm eyes stared out of the window. “Help me with something.”

The voice coming through was a male’s low voice. It had some lazy sexiness in its tone. “En?”

“Keep an eye on Hai Cheng’s Zhou family’s every action. Inform me immediately of any unknown person coming into contact with them. Watch all of their actions clearly. Don’t allow them any chance of scheming in the dark.”

“Zhou family? They managed to provoke you?”

Mo Jingshen replied calmly, “Somewhat. Watch them.”

It was silent for a moment before laughing sounds came through. “All right, I got it.”

Mo Jingshen placed down the phone, turning around to see that Ji Nuan had already walked out of the main bedroom.

“Hungry again?” He directly walked over.

Ji Nuan touched her stomach with some embarrassment. “Maybe it’s because of falling sick. My body is consuming too much energy even though I already ate last night.”

“Return to the room. I’ll have Auntie Chen send food up.”

After seeing her remain by the door with some hesitation, Mo Jingshen eyed her again, “What else do you want?”

“I want to eat the four-style glutinous rice ball soup that is sold near your company.”

Seeing Mo Jingshen furrow his clear brows, she rushed to say, “Actually it’s fine even if I don’t eat it. Everything that Auntie Chen makes is delicious. I’ll just eat the breakfast that she made.”

Seeing that she was acting like a glutton for the first time, yet rushing to explain herself, Mo Jingshen could not hold in his smile. He raised a hand and gently rubbed her hair. “I’ll go buy it.”

“Really?”

Mo Jingshen curved his lips, signaling for her to return to the room to wait.

Ji Nuan then obediently returned to the room. When she closed the door, she secretly peeked outside to find that Mo Jingshen had already gone downstairs. She felt like Xia Tian’s gluttonous mouth had influenced her. One bowl of Auntie Chen’s porridge and a bowl of rice ball soup could make her happy for half a day.

—-

The four-style rice ball soup that Ji Nuan spoke of was indeed very close to the Mo Corporation.

A black Rolls-Royce Ghost was parked by the road. Mo Jingshen came down the car to see that this small shop had a long line of people in front of it.

He glanced at the time and walked towards it.

There were also two young girls queueing. One of them suddenly pushed the girl next to her, speaking quietly, “Quickly look, isn’t that Mo Jingshen?”

The other girl turned around, replying softly with a face full of shock, “That should only be a person with a physical resemblance, no? Why would CEO Mo come to this sort of small shop personally to buy glutinous rice ball soup?

“You see that car parked nearby? That is the 100th-year-anniversary edition Ghost! There is only one in the entire world! I heard that this is Mo Jingshen’s car. There shouldn’t be any mistake, right?”

“My god! It really is! Quickly pinch me. Am I dreaming? We actually saw the male god in such a place-”

Chapter 18: Mr. Mo Is Taking Care of Madam
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Nuan suddenly felt a kiss fall between her brows.

“Don’t think that I really have no hidden intentions. You are still sick, be good and go to sleep.” His gentle voice fell between her brows. Seeing that her eyes were still open, he uttered softly, “Quickly, sleep.”

This time Ji Nuan really stopped talking. She closed her eyes, breathing in the pleasant fresh scent that belonged to his body.

This was a feeling of belonging that led one to feel at ease.

——

The next morning, Ji Nuan woke up at 9:00 a.m.

She pressed her hand against her forehead. It seems like her fever had already reduced, but the symptoms of a cold were still around.

She sat up, pushing aside the blanket. Just as she was about to get off the bed, she became surprised, lowering her head to stare at her own body.

She wore a soft silk pajama dress. Yesterday, after showering, she clearly fell asleep in a towel.

This… Did Auntie Chen change my clothes? Or was it…

The door suddenly opened. She raised her tousled head and saw Mo Jingshen walk into the room.

The automatic curtains slowly shifted open, and the golden sunlight landed on his body.

The man before her was of calm and handsome temperament. Charming to the point of causing people to be dazed.

Mo Jingshen saw her sitting by the bed with a strange and silly expression. “Feeling better?”

“What time is it? You haven’t gone to the company?” Ji Nuan woke up from her daze, asking rather than replying. As she spoke, she picked up her phone by the bedside.

9:30 a.m.?

It was already 9:30 a.m.!

Although Mo Jingshen did not need to be in the company every day, in her memory, he rarely ever missed work on weekdays and barely ever took any holidays.

“There’s nothing much happening in the company today. It’s fine if I don’t go.” Mo Jingshen approached the bed, picking up the thermometer and measuring her temperature while she was still looking stunned.

Ji Nuan was still reprimanding herself for disturbing his work, but heard him say, “Thirty-seven point six degrees, how do you feel right now?”

“Much better, it’s not as hard to bear as last night.” Ji Nuan raised her hand to touch her own forehead. “This temperature shouldn’t be considered a fever anymore, right?”

“There’s still a little fever. Don’t go out today. Stay at home to take your medicine and rest well.” Mo Jingshen pressed her shoulder, pushing her to sit back down on the bed. “Whatever you want to eat, have Auntie Chen send it up. Don’t walk around, en?”

“I’m not that seriously ill, and this isn’t considered a fever anymore…”

Ji Nuan had yet to finish her words when she heard the sound of footsteps outside. The helper called out from the door, “Mr. Mo, there is a phone call for you.”

Mo Jingshen threw a glance at Ji Nuan, using his gaze to signal for her to obediently stay in the room before he left to answer the call.

Ji Nuan sat on the bed, picking up the cup by her bedside and drinking a sip, soothing her throat. She then picked up her phone to send Xia Tian a message.

Yesterday, she had promised Xia Tian she would visit her today at the hospital. But with her condition, Mo Jingshen most definitely would not allow her to leave and experience the wind outside.

In addition, her body that was weak against the cold really did need to be properly taken care off. It was not good to always fall so sick whenever she caught a cold. She could not be so delicate.

Downstairs, Mo Jingshen walked down the marble staircase, seeing the handset placed on top of the tea table.

He asked lightly, “Who called?”

The helper by the side spoke respectfully, “It’s Miss Meng Ran.”

Mo Jingshen’s footsteps paused. He turned to glance calmly at the helper.

The helper rushed to explain, “Earlier, Miss Meng Ran suddenly called. Originally, I was also curious why she did not call Madam’s handphone and instead called the house phone. My mouth slipped, and I told her about Madam’s illness. After that, Miss Meng Ran asked if Mr. Mo had left for the company. I said that you were staying at home to accompany Madam. She then asked for you to receive the phone.”

Mo Jingshen’s expression became colder. He did not walk over and instead spoke coolly, “In the future, if we receive the Ji family’s second daughter’s call, there’s no need to inform me.”

The helper nodded her head quickly. “I understand, Mr. Mo. So, this phone call…”

“Tell her that the Madam’s illness is already fine. There’s no need to ask about her condition from me. If she is really concerned, tell her to ask Ji Nuan herself.”

Mo Jingshen turned around to walk back.

Ji Mengran was still waiting in anticipation on the other side of the call. As preparation for when Mo Jingshen picked up the phone, she had even made a mental draft of everything she wanted to tell him.

Right now, she could not visit the Yu Garden frequently. Although she could not go, she still had to find opportunities to speak properly with Mo Jingshen. Ji Nuan’s changes were indeed a bit strange. She just did not know Mo Jingshen’s thoughts about it.

That day, Ji Nuan had said that she did not want a divorce. But the things she did previously were all out of line. Could Mo Jingshen really continue to tolerate it?

“Hello, Miss Meng Ran. I’m really sorry, Mr. Mo is currently taking care of Madam. He is unable to squeeze out the time to pick up the phone,” the helper declared. “Mr. Mo says that if Miss Meng Ran wishes to find out more about Madam’s condition, you could ask her yourself.”

The helper did not dare to be as blunt, keeping her words as tactful as possible.

However, Ji Mengran could hear the meaning behind those words! He clearly did not want to pick up her phone!

Earlier in the phone, she had heard Mo Jingshen approaching. He had come downstairs to take the phone call but, in the end, he did not do it!

Since the past, Mo Jingshen has never cared much about her. She wanted to go to the Yu Garden frequently, to appear in front of him more so that he would see the good in her. After all, regardless of how she acted, she still appeared better than the Ji Nuan who was always unreasonable and insisting on a divorce. Surely, sooner or later, he would develop feelings for her.

However, she had yet to make progress, and she already could not enter the Yu Garden. She did not even have the opportunity to be close to him anymore.

Now that he refused to pick up the phone, she could not even know the development between Ji Nuan and him!

Ji Mengran was angry to the point where her face twisted. She raged, “How did you pass the message? Didn’t I say that I have things to tell Brother Jing Shen? I’m very clear about my sister’s condition. Every time she catches a cold, it’s the same thing. Why would I need to ask more? Go tell Brother Jing Shen, I wanted to tell him that…”

“Miss Meng Ran, if you have any business please call Mr. and Mrs.’ handphones. This handset phone will usually only be called by the Mo family elders. You can directly call and inform them. I’m really sorry; I have other things I need to do.” The helper quickly said and hung up the phone.

“Hello? You! You’re not allowed to hang up, you…”

The beeping sound from the phone caused Ji Mengran’s expression to turn bad as she threw the phone on her bed with force.

Since young, Ji Nuan had always loved to pick fights with their father. However, at the end of it, he still prioritized her. Why was it that the one who got to marry Mo Jingshen was not her!

Why was it that Ji Nuan could own all these things without any effort on her part!

Was her performance in the past too obvious? Why on earth did Ji Nuan suddenly push her out!

Even if Ji Nuan did not clearly say it, Ji Mengran could feel that her attitude had a tremendous change!

But, so what if it has changed?

Mo Jingshen and Ji Nuan would not have a good end!

One day, Mo Jingshen would be hers for sure!

Chapter 17: I Don’t Mind Accompanying You to Shower for a Whole Night
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Still uncomfortable?” He sat back down by the bed, one arm pulling her into his embrace, touching her head.

Ji Nuan shook her head, slanting down in his embrace dependently. “It’s much better.”

Auntie Chen was unable to stop worrying the whole time. She passed their door in the middle of the night and heard that there were movements. She rushed off to serve up some porridge.

“Mr. Mo, it’s already so late. I’ll feed Madam some porridge. Her fever was serious, so she needs to eat some food.”

Mo Jingshen used his free hand to take the bowl from her. “No need. I’ll do it.”

Auntie Chen was surprised. Ever since Ji Nuan had a fever, he never left her side by a single inch. It seemed like this little couple that previously treated each other like strangers were really going to begin their happy life from now on.

Auntie Chen smiled and stopped disturbing them. She quickly left the room and gently closed the door.

Ji Nuan caught the scent of the white porridge. There seemed to be some minced meat inside, and it was extremely fragrant. She immediately glanced inside the bowl. The moment she saw it, she became even more hungry.

Mo Jingshen removed his hand from hers. With one arm he tugged on her shoulder, helping her to sit up and lean in his embrace.

Although Ji Nuan was no longer as dizzy, she still felt rather weak. She laid against his chest limply; her forehead pressed under his chin.

Her eyes remained fixed on the porridge in the bowl like a kitten begging for her owner to throw some food her way.

At the same time, she could feel his gentle breathing land on her forehead.

It was a heart-melting sensation.

Mo Jingshen brought a spoonful of porridge to her lips. “Open your mouth.”

This time, Ji Nuan was very obedient and listened to him. When she swallowed, she felt like her taste buds had been awoken. It was so fragrant.

Seeing that she was willing to eat and was eating happily as though her appetite had opened up, Mo Jingshen chuckled softly. Bite by bite, he fed the entire bowl to her.

Ji Nuan laid back down on the bed feeling well-fed and enjoying the care of Mo Jingshen.

“My whole body is covered in sweat. Can I shower again?” she asked in a soft voice.

“Your fever hasn’t completely gone down. Shower tomorrow morning.”

“But my whole body is so wet and sticky that it’s difficult to bear…”

“Bear with it for a night.” He did not give in to her and turned off the light, leaving on only the bedside lamp yellow light. “Sleep for a few more hours. When the sun rises tomorrow, we’ll measure your temperature again.”

Mo Jingshen laid down by her side. Ji Nuan began pushing herself into his body until his arms were around her in an embrace. His hand patted her back gently to coax her to sleep. Ji Nuan pressed her head against his shoulder, whispering, “Earlier on, you carried me out of the bathtub so directly…”

Mo Jingshen did not speak.

She spoke dazedly again, “You’ve already seen me completely. Then it shouldn’t be too much for you to bring me to wash again. I didn’t even complain about it earlier.”

Mo Jingshen: “…”

—-

At last, because Ji Nuan was a clean freak who could not sleep until she showered, her insistence finally led Mo Jingshen to bring her to shower again.

After showering, her whole body was relaxed and smelled good. She felt that her sickness was half healed. She was wrapped up in a towel and brought back to the bed by him once more.

However, this time, Mo Jingshen did not hold her to sleep.

Ji Nuan turned around, under the yellow bedside lamp, she stared at the man who, for some strange reason, was sleeping with his back facing her. She raised a hand and pushed against his back.

“Why is your back facing me?” she asked. Her voice was still slightly raspy.

Mo Jingshen did not reply, catching her little hand and pressing it down.

“Sleep,” he spoke calmly. His low voice was strangely hoarse.

Ji Nuan had thought that because of her illness there was suddenly some feelings between the two of them, but her heart was immediately broken. She was upset because his back was facing her and directly moved closer, pressing against his back and placing her hands on his shoulders. Her face was also leaning against his back.

“Can you turn around? I want you to hold me to sleep~.”

“…”

“You were still fine earlier, why are you suddenly turning your back toward me?”

“…”

Hearing her soft and quiet voice filled with slight resentment, he sighed and turned around, giving in to her wishes and holding her in his embrace.

The moment he turned around; Ji Nuan suddenly became aware of his lower body’s… changes…

What was that… she seemed to have found the reason…

To ask him to turn around again, was it too late?

Mo Jingshen could not take her slightly wet and moved eyes staring at him. He held her, pressing her head into his embrace.

“When you’re all healed, try asking me to help you shower again,” he said while gently nibbling on her ear. His voice was low and heavy, yet at the same time, it seemed to hold hidden depths, causing her face to turn red and her heart to pound rapidly. “I don’t mind accompanying you to shower for an entire night!”

Ji Nuan instantly became obedient, staying in his embrace quietly without moving at all.

However, she could not sleep. Her hands gently held onto the buttons on his well-made shirt, feeling that although he did not move, in this situation, it should not be easy for him to sleep either.

She raised her head, staring up from under his chin at this man who was handsome to the point of perfection from every angle.

“Have you realized that I’ve changed a lot?” she asked.

Mo Jingshen’s gaze on her these past few days were all attempts to see through her. He was clearly suspicious of her changes, yet he never asked.

Since it was like this, she would just take the initiative.

He gently patted her back, as though coaxing a child who could not sleep and was constantly looking for topics to talk about. He did not answer.

“Do you prefer the current me? Or, do you prefer the previous me?” Her gaze under the yellow light was bright like the moon, even the fever could not dampen the brightness in her eyes.

“It’s all you. What’s the difference?” His words were unhurried.

“Of course there are differences. In the past, I was always unwilling to accept our marriage, but right now I’m working hard to become close to you.” Ji Nuan buried her head into his neck, speaking softly and hoarsely, “In the past, you’ve always treated me well. Even though I constantly stirred up trouble, you never once slowed your feet that were moving towards me. No matter if you feel like my change is too sudden, please don’t doubt my heart. Even if there are one hundred steps of space between the two of us, you have already walked several tens of steps. If you feel tired from the journey, then please leave the rest to me, let me walk. Let me do it. Let me learn to treasure this, to have you… if that is all right…”

The air suddenly fell into silence.

Ji Nuan wanted to look at Mo Jingshen’s expression right now. In her past and current life, she had never confessed to someone before.

She attempted to raise her head but was held tightly in his embrace. Even her head was pressed firmly against his neck. She could not lift it even after a moment of trying.

Mo Jingshen: “…”

He remained silent.

“Everything I said earlier was serious. I’m not dazed from the fever. I…”

All of a sudden, she heard his low voice from the top of her head. “If you speak anymore, I won’t be able to take into consideration your body’s condition. Are you sure you want to continue teasing me?”

Ji Nuan was stunned.

Her confession also counted as teasing?

Chapter 16: Do You Want Me to Change the Method to Feed You?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mo Jingshen saw her figure and directly measured her temperature. Ji Nuan then heard him say, “Thirty-nine degrees.”

“Ya! How did Madam get such a fever from bathing? This temperature is too high!” The moment Auntie Chen heard him she panicked. “Once, Madam fell sick, but she kept herself locked in her room, refusing to eat or take medicine. I didn’t know what to do at all. Thank god this time you are at home, Mr. Mo. If not…”

“Go bring an ice pack.” Mo Jingshen cut her off.

Auntie Chen immediately stopped her nagging and rushed to go find an ice pack.

Ji Nuan knew that every time she caught a cold, she would have a fever. She was already used to it. Mo Jingshen knew as well, which was why he frequently nagged her to stay warm.

“Come, take the medicine.” Mo Jingshen helped her sit up on the bed.

She sat up, leaning in his embrace without struggling. It was only when he brought the medicine over that she furrowed her brows. In the past, she truly did not take medicine often. Due to the cold she suffered when she was young, she had to drink Chinese medicine every day. Since then, she hated any sort of bitter medicine. She would rather bury her head and sleep for several days than take medication.

“Be good, take the medicine.” Mo Jingshen lowered his voice, coaxing her.

She pressed her head against his shoulder, opening her eyes to stare at him. Her eyes were pleading, could she not take it?

He was silent for a moment before speaking softly, “Do you want me to change the method to feed you?”

Ji Nuan was curious and asked softly, “Change what method?”

Could it be that he was going to prepare some sweets for her? When she was young and needed to take medicine, the Ji family helper auntie would always prepare several sweets for her due to her whining.

Yet, the sweets she expected did not appear. Under her gaze, Mo Jingshen brought the medicine to his lips.

Ji Nuan immediately understood and rushed to block his hands. She then carefully took the medicine from him and placed it in her mouth.

Although she did not mind him feeding her with his mouth, she did not want to pass the cold to him.

The bitter taste spread in her mouth. Her brows furrowed and she rushed to swallow a big gulp of warm water. The pill was swallowed down, but she felt like the bitter taste in her throat was unbearable.

“So bitter.”

“You know that you can’t catch a cold and you still go out without a coat. Do you want me to lock you at home in the Yu Garden for the entirety of autumn and winter?” Mo Jingshen touched her hair that was still wet, speaking with a heavy voice, “Sit properly, don’t lie down. Dry your hair before you sleep.”

Ji Nuan was still leaning in his embrace unwilling to move. After drinking some water, she felt that it was not as uncomfortable as before, but she did not have much strength left.

Seeing her sickly and dependent figure, Mo Jingshen sighed and stood up to look for the hairdryer. He brought it to the bedside and plugged it in.

Ji Nuan sat on the bed. She really did not have the strength to dry her own hair. She turned to look at him. Just as she was about to whine and have him dry her hair, she heard the sound of the hairdryer coming from his hand.

The warm air blew past her hair, gently blowing on her scalp. Initially, she was still slightly giddy, and because of the nightmares, she felt like her current state was as though she was standing on a cliff. Her emotions were all strung tight. But this warmth allowed her whole body to relax. After only a few minutes, she began to feel sleepy.

The cold and fever medicine both caused drowsiness. Ji Nuan closed her eyes, feeling drowsy.

By the time her hair was dry, and Mo Jingshen had turned off the hairdryer, her whole body slanted to the side and almost fell.

Mo Jingshen reached out and held her. He saw that her drowsiness had come too quickly, and she was quietly leaning in his embrace. The room only had her quiet, soft breaths.

He lightly sighed, supporting her body to lie down on the bed.

His gaze unintentionally fell on her body wrapped in the towel. Earlier, when he brought her out of the bathroom, he could only use one hand to put the towel on her. Now that her body had relaxed, the snow-white skin of her chest could almost be seen. Her soft hair draped downwards, half concealing it.

In his embraced, she was completely soft and relaxed. Mo Jingshen’s gaze slowly darkened as he felt her cold hands.

Her body was burning hot, yet her hands were freezing cold. He breathed deeply, holding onto her hands. After a moment, as though having thought of something, he glanced towards her exposed snow-white little feet.

Touching them, he discovered that they were cold, just as cold as her hands. He held them in his palm and frowned.

Ji Nuan whined in her sleep, likely because of the comforting warmth that suddenly appeared on her hands and feet, “En…”

Mo Jingshen covered the blanket over her body. Ensuring that only her head was poking out, he gently touched her burning forehead, sliding down against her soft hair.

Ji Nuan did not sleep steadily. Her body was already burning hot. After being covered, it felt hot to the point of discomfort. She struggled a little but was held down by him.

“Mr. Mo.” Auntie Chen walked in, placing the ice packs on the side. Seeing that Ji Nuan was already asleep, she spoke softly, “Just now I remade some food for Madam. I also made porridge. Should we wake her and let her eat a little? She hasn’t had dinner yet.”

“Keep the porridge warm. Let her eat when she wakes up.”

Right now, even if she were to sit up, she most likely would not have even the strength to move her lips.

“Alright, then… Sir, you should go to rest. Leave this to me. I’ll take care of Madam.”

“No need. I’ll stay here tonight.”

Although Ji Nuan was very tired, she did not sleep peacefully. In her half asleep and half-dreaming state, she felt as though her bed had been pressed down slightly. Her body had already released some sweat. It was warm and sticky and extremely uncomfortable. She frowned; her face full of an expression of dislike. A few seconds later, she was pulled into an embrace. The blanket on her was covered even more tightly around her. Even the smallest bit of gap was not revealed.

“So warm…” she said in a daze.

Mo Jingshen laid by her side holding her, repeatedly wrapping around her the blanket she tried to kick away.

It was only when her hands and feet were no longer as cold, and her body temperature seemed to drop several degrees after sweating that Mo Jingshen gently touched her sweat-covered hair. “Bear with it for a little while. When your fever drops, it won’t be so uncomfortable, en?”

She quietened down.

At midnight, Ji Nuan suddenly woke up. She stared at the man who laid so close to her.

Due to her high fever, some red veins were showing on her eyes. She stared at him silently.

After being stared by her for a minute, Mo Jingshen opened his eyes. “Awake? Auntie Chen kept some porridge warm for you. Come have some.”

He sat up.

Ji Nuan rushed to grab hold of his hand, unwilling to let go. “I won’t eat. Don’t go…”

The dependence and love in her voice could not be concealed.

Mo Jingshen who was about to tug his hands out paused in surprise.

If it were just the discomfort from the fever causing her to act spoiled, that would not be strange. But such weakness and fear should not appear in Ji Nuan.
