  Ji Nuan pushed against his chest with her hands. She heard the sound of people passing by the door outside and softly changed the topic. “I saw that there’s a new hot pot restaurant downstairs. There are also several restaurants nearby. Can you eat spicy food?”


  Mo Jingshen released her. When Ji Nuan got up from his embrace, his hands remained around her waist, preventing her from walking too far and keeping her by his side.

  “My preference in food is simple. There’s not much I’m picky about.”


  Ji Nuan originally wanted to bring Mo Jingshen to the new restaurant to take on the challenge of their special spicy hot pot, but after considering her stomach, she gave up. “Then let’s have traditional charcoal hot pot. I’m not sure if it’ll be crowded right now. Let me call and reserve a spot.”


  While speaking, she checked on her phone the number of the hot pot restaurant.

  Her phone screen had just lit up when the handset on the office desk suddenly rang. Mo Jingshen casually pressed it, and Shen Mu’s voice filled the room. “CEO Mo, Elder Mo is here.”


  Mo Jingshen did not expect his grandfather would suddenly show up. He was quiet for a moment before calmly asking, “Is he on the way up?”


  “Yes, the elevator should arrive soon to the highest floor.”


  The call was cut off. Mo Jingshen glanced to the side and saw that Ji Nuan, who had been planning to call up the restaurant to reserve seats, had suddenly run off to the side. She stood behind the black sofa in the office and swiveled around once. She then ran behind the document shelf and spun around again.

  “What are you doing?’


  “Grandfather Mo is here. I haven’t seen him in so long. If he saw that I was in your office disturbing your work, he’ll definitely be upset. It’s going to be his birthday soon; I better not leave him with a bad impression.” While speaking, Ji Nuan’s gaze searched in every direction. “I need to find a place to hide.”


  Mo Jingshen sighed and smiled. His gaze had a hint of teasing in it. “If he sees you, he’ll be pleased. How could he be upset.”


  How could Ji Nuan pay attention to what he was saying. She focused on the sound outside the door. There seemed to be the clicking sound of a walking stick against the ground gradually approaching.

  Her gaze narrowed, looking at the large office desk Mo Jingshen was standing behind. Subconsciously, she walked over quickly and dived under the table under Mo Jingshen’s eyes.

  Seeing her kneeling posture, Mo Jingshen’s gaze darkened.

  The door opened.

  Although every generation of the Mo family had prospered, Elder Mo had joined the army when he was young, supporting North Korea against the American army. He possessed an army rank, and even when he returned to the business world, he retained the strong temper of a senior officer. Since he was in his grandson’s office, there was no need for someone else to lead the way. The moment he arrived at the office entrance, he did make any noise and directly opened the door.

  At the very moment when the door opened, Ji Nuan raised her head and made an “shhh” expression to Mo Jingshen.

  Mo Jingshen: “.……”


  “I just came and heard from Shen Mu that Ji Nuan is here as well. Why don’t I see her?” Despite having the wise tone that accompanied old age, Elder Mo’s voice was imposing and dignified. His words became louder as he approached.

  Ji Nuan raised her hand to hold her temple.

  Earlier on when she came, she did not notice Shen Mu. As the CEO’s assistant, Shen Mu has always been soft-spoken. When exactly did he find out that she was here. He actually told Grandfather Mo about it.

  She was already hiding. If she came out right now…… this scene would most likely be…… extremely embarrassing.

  Ji Nuan hesitated for a moment, keeping still in her position while being squeezed underneath the desk. She looked up at Mo Jingshen with eyes full of begging and then clasped her hands in a praying motion as she stared at him.

  Mo Jingshen glanced at the woman under his table, his lips curving slightly.

  “She came earlier. Already left.”


  When Mo Jingshen lied, he was so calm that Ji Nuan could not help but want to give him a thumbs up.

  After all, right now, she was kneeling in front of him. In such a situation, he could still appear so calm as though she did not exist. If it were her, she would definitely be embarrassed and unable to maintain a peaceful image. She would not even be able to settle her heart down.

  “This silly Ji girl, she comes so quickly and leaves so quickly,” Elder Mo harrumphed. “This weekend, will you bring Ji Nuan back to the Mo family?”


  This weekend was Elder Mo’s eightieth birthday celebration. The old man was clearly here because he had not seen his granddaughter-in-law for so long and was worried that he would not be able to see her during the celebration. Therefore, he directly came here to check on the situation.

  Mo Jingshen did not smile; nonetheless, it felt like he was smiling. “In this past half a year, you’ve always kept an eye in the direction of the Yu Garden. Even if you don’t know every detail about our situation, you should also know that our husband and wife relation is no longer distant. She will naturally be there for your birthday celebration.”


  Hearing Mo Jingshen’s words, Elder Mo immediately appeared soothed. He nodded his head. “Good, good! That’s good!”


  In the blink of an eye, Elder Mo began reprimanding him, “What do you mean fixed on the Yu Garden? When Xiao Chen saw that your relationship improved, it’s natural that she reported it to me! After being married for so long, I still don’t see any sign of movements in that Ji girl’s stomach! This eighty-year-old man even dreams of hugging his great-grandchildren at night! You youngsters won’t understand the feeling I have as someone with one foot in the grave!”


  Ji Nuan quietly and silently complained. No wonder Auntie Chen was so concerned about their feelings. So, she was the spy that Elder Mo had planted.

  However, thankfully, Auntie Chen was Grandfather Mo’s person. If she were someone with an unclear objective, Mo Jingshen most likely would not have kept her in the Yu Garden for so long.

  Mo Jingshen coldly glanced at Elder Mo. He casually played with a fountain pen on the office desk. One end of the pen knocked against the desk. He opened his mouth to speak, his tone extremely indifferent, “At eighty-years-old you are still able to raise your walking stick and chase after a thief. I think even after twenty years you still won’t be able to enter your grave.”


  Elder’s Mo eyes lit up as he became pleased with himself after hearing his glorious achievement of successfully apprehending a thief two months ago. “If you don’t take advantage of the time to give me a great-grandson, how will I find a wife for him?”


  Ji Nuan who sat under the desk: “.……”


  Mo Jingshen coldly and indifferently glanced at him.

  Elder Mo placed both his hands on his walking stick, appearing radiant with delight as he said, “A great-granddaughter will do as well. Male or female, both will be good. In any case, with the lowest performance, you should at least give me two to hold in three years and three in five years. The more, the better.”


  Mo Jingshen withheld a smile, his meaningful gaze moving under his desk for a moment.

  Ji Nuan raised a hand to block half her vision, unsure of whether to cry or laugh.

  Did Grandfather Mo plan for her to give birth to an entire football team? What three in five years……

  After bringing up this topic, the old man became excited and did not appear to have any intentions of stopping. Ji Nuan brought up the phone up to check the time. It was already past one. Lunch break had just ended.

  Who knew if she would still be able to have her hot pot.

  “Recently, the number of relatives and friends that have been rushing to the Mo home is not little. Do you have so much free time to be out and about now?”


  Elder Mo harrumphed with a smile. “Friends and relatives? Which one of them are not trying to exaggerate their relations with us based on their thick skin? During this old man’s birthday celebration, they can come as they please. My old comrade in arms invited me to go have tea with them, so I came out to take a walk and enjoy the peace.”


  The sound of knocking suddenly rang against the office door. Mo Jingshen calmly said, “Come in.”


  Under the table, Ji Nuan could not tell who had come, but she could hear the sound of high heels clicking against the ground.

  “CEO Mo, the documents for this afternoon’s meeting have been prepared. The monthly report from the finance department is here as well. They handed it to the secretary’s office, so I brought them together.”


  This voice was soft and pleasing; gentle and calm.

  It was the female secretary from earlier.
