  Ji Nuan had thought Su Zhilan was going to play this devious game with her for a while. She had been tired of this Miss Su’s eccentricity and lack of decisiveness.

  Sure enough, people who were spoiled had a common problem, they didn’t have enough patience.

  “I’m afraid that Miss Su is not in a position to judge whether I’m an exception or not.” Ji Nuan smiled, but her eyes were cold. “I looked up the ring you showed me that day on the Internet. It is a masterpiece by a famous jewelry designer in the United States, and its price is not low, but I heard that the ring was auctioned by your family at a charity event, and then your family carved the letter S and M into the ring, which represents you and Mo Jingshen, but it doesn’t seem to be a real engagement ring.”


  Ji Nuan tilted her head slightly, and her voice was lazy. “As a woman, I’m glad to see that another woman is so obsessed with my husband; a woman who even cherishes a ring as a treasure for many years because there’s an M on it. It shows how charming my husband is no matter if it was in the past or the present.”


  She paused and then went on, “But marriage is marriage. Miss Su, no matter what had happened between you and my husband, it is, after all, past tense. Why should you still try to grasp a shadow you can never reach?”


  Su Zhilan’s face immediately darkened. The ring was like a thorn in her heart, which she had tried to show up but suddenly turned into her disgrace.

  There was a faint, impassive smile on her delicate face with slight makeup, and a harsh mockery suddenly appeared in her eyes. “You can never wake up a person pretending to be sleeping. Tell me, what makes you think that you, a fake daughter of the Ji family who doesn’t even know her biological father, are qualified to stand beside Mo Jingshen? Haha, you’re so confident of yourself just because people call you Mrs. Mo? Are you sure a man like Jingshen doesn’t secretly despise you? How could he have married you as soon as he got back to Hai City if he had no other reason?”


  Ji Nuan still smiled mildly, and Su Zhilan couldn’t tell what she was thinking of.

  Su Zhilan stared at her, her eyes aggressive. “He had never had a close relationship with any woman before I was with him, so I was his first woman. And you just picked up the right opportunity at the right time. As I said before, his wife could be any woman, and he would only be good to his wife. You’re not that special, so don’t be too confident. There will always be a woman in a man’s heart, but that woman obviously can’t be you.”


  Ji Nuan raised her eyebrows, and her voice was clear. “You’re standing in front of a man’s legal wife, talking to me about feelings, talking to me about the past? How desperate are you that you came to me to say this?”


  In the face of Ji Nuan’s unwavering attitude, Su Zhilan’s eyes turned cold. “I’m just reminding you to know your place.”


  Hearing her words, Ji Nuan was about to sneer when Su Zhilan said coldly, “He suffered a serious injury many years ago. I stayed with him in the hospital to take care of him for a long time. Our relationship has been very stable. Yes, you are staying with him in the hospital day and night, but have you ever thought that maybe he just takes you as my shadow?”


  Ji Nuan chuckled at her words. “A shadow that couldn’t get into his ward. Then you are really an insignificant shadow!”


  When Su Zhilan saw Ji Nuan laugh like this, she felt uncomfortable all over. She said word by word, trying to pierce into her heart, “Because of his commitment to marriage, he won’t have too much contact with other women after he married you. I know him well. He is a very principled and disciplined man; his self-restraint is beyond ordinary men. Marriage is his collar, and when he entered the door of this prison, he bound the duty upon himself, but you would never know whether he’s really willing to do this all the time, do you?”


  “I don’t need to guess what he is thinking.” Not swayed by her words at all, Ji Nuan smiled nonchalantly. “In my view, sweet things are sweet. There is no need to consider whether it will become bitter after being added with saccharin. Such trouble-seeking behavior is a neurotic way of thinking. I am a simpleminded person, and no one can instill any negative feelings in me. Miss Su, I advise you to give up on me. If you have so much time, you might as well think of a way to persuade K to let you go into Mo Jingshen’s ward and talk to him alone. If you can get in, of course.”


  Su Zhilan stared at Ji Nuan and her fingers tightened under her bag.

  Ji Nuan could tell that she was really anxious. She wanted to take the chance of his returned to L.A. to do something, to grab something back, or to leave something in his life with no connection to herself.

  Su Zhilan wanted to become a knot in Ji Nuan’s heart step by step and then turned into a rolling snowball that becomes bigger and bigger in her heart until it became impossible to ignore her existence.

  Because as long as Ji Nuan chose to quit, Mo Jingshen wouldn’t be bound by the shackles of marriage any longer, and then everything would be easier for her.

  But Mo Jingshen never gave Ji Nuan the chance to suspect him. He would never allow any unexpected accident or misunderstanding. He was always as honest as he could be, saying what he should say and explaining what he should explain.

  “As far as I know, the Ji family’s status in Hai City is not as good as before” Su Zhilan stood up and walked slowly around the ward as if casually, then turned her eyes to Ji Nuan. “In the current situation, it’s as easy as pinching an ant to death if my family wants to put the Ji family out of business. Now, most industries in China are oversupplied, and it can be easy and quick to replace something. What is to be replaced? Like a few department stores that don’t look very promising, like a public company that’s in debt, like……”


  “Like what?”


  Suddenly, a low and cold voice sounded at the door of the ward.

  Hearing the voice, Su Zhilan, who was standing by the bed and facing Ji Nuan, suddenly froze and jerked around to look at Mo Jingshen who appeared here.

  Ji Nuan didn’t expect either for Mo Jingshen to come here. He was still wounded and couldn’t get out of the ward. Wasn’t he getting an injection?

  K didn’t dare to speak after entering the door, standing behind Mo Jingshen.

  His eyes were cold, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop abruptly.
