  Wan Zhu took the glass and said with a smile, “She is your wife. You two are so intimate that you don’t have to be polite to each other.”


  Then she put the glass aside and looked at Ji Nuan. “Sit down and take a rest. We can take care of Jingshen here. When you return to Hai City, you can take care of him all the time. Now, leave him to us.”


  At that moment, Qin Siting entered the ward. Hearing their dialogue, he said, “There is nothing wrong with his health. As long as his occasional headache eases, he is completely fine. Even if you return to Hai City, he won’t need special care. After all, he had been asleep for two months, and he had completely recovered.”


  Wan Zhu nodded happily. “That would be the best, or I’ll be worried about them even if they go back to Hai City.”


  Ji Nuan didn’t sit down but took two steps back and stood at the window. Qin Siting said a few more words to Wan Zhu and turned to glance at her. “Ji Nuan, come and get me some medicine.”


  “Okay.” Ji Nuan was really embarrassed by being in this ward. If no one else was here, she might have found a chance to talk to him.

  But now, she couldn’t get a word in.

  Out of the ward, Qin Siting walked in front, and she followed. After getting the medicine, Qin Siting turned around and looked at her. “What the hell is going on between you and Mo Jingshen?”


  “Nothing, just some little things. We’ll be all right when we get back to Hai City.” She lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.

  Her smile didn’t reach her eyes. She was obviously not telling the truth.

  Seeing that she was not going to tell him the truth, he didn’t ask anymore. He handed her the medicine and patted her on the shoulder. “Stay good. Don’t be like Nian Ge and me. Love can be worn down.”


  Ji Nuan nodded.

  She didn’t cherish his love in her previous life and finally wore down away all his tolerance and patience with her in this one.

  The current Mo Jingshen was the Mo Jingshen who was far away from her and out of her reach.

  He was so estranged that her heart hurt every time she looked at him.

  “Mo Jingshen clearly doesn’t intend to let his parents know what is going on between you and him. It’s possible to maintain a calm facade here in Los Angeles, but you’d better be prepared since many things will be under his control when you get back to Hai City.” Although Qin Siting thought these words were cruel, he still said them.

  “I know, but I’m not going to divorce him, never ever,” Ji Nuan said in a low voice.

  Qin Siting raised his eyebrows. “I hope you can hold on.”
……

  Mo Jingshen was released from the hospital four days later.

  They would return to Hai City in three days, and Mo Jingshen booked a flight back to Hai City. In the three days before he was discharged from the hospital, as requested by Wan Zhu over and over again, he finally agreed to stay at the Mo family for a few more days.

  The day of his discharge was cold and windy, and many people, who had been unable to enter his ward, were waiting at the gate of the hospital, including the An family.

  An Shuyan’s father said to Mo Shaoze with a smile, “Young people are in good physical condition. Even after such a serious accident, he recovered after a good rest, unlike us old people who will be in serious trouble after a fall.”


  Mo Shaoze smiled. “Yes, we should accept the fact that we have aged. After all, our physical qualities are not the same as those of the young.”


  An Shuyan’s father turned to greet Mo Jingshen, who indifferently nodded at him. Down the steps in front of the hospital, there was a short walk from where the car was parked. Ji Nuan felt the wind was too strong. She had brought Mo Jingshen’s coat, which was put in the bag held by K.

  Ji Nuan turned to get the coat from K and hurried to his side. She was about to put the coat on him when he took a step forward quietly, drawing away from the coat as if he did not see her. Ji Nuan paused; she took the coat and was about to try putting it on him again, when suddenly she heard An Shuyan, who came after her, “Jingshen, let me put the coat on you. It’s too windy.”


  With that, An Shuyan put over him a dark gray coat, which she might have bought or have taken from the Mo family home.

  He didn’t reject her, and his face looked mild with no sign of rejection or disapproval.

  Ji Nuan stopped and stood behind the crowd. Hardly anyone was paying attention to her now. This deliberate indifference and neglect could only be experienced by her.

  “Mrs. Mo, the coat……” K came over and handed her the bag. “Maybe you can put it into this bag.”


  Ji Nuan handed the coat to K and then saw An Shuyan in the crowd, who had been walking by Mo Jingshen’s side as a matter of course once she put the coat on him. They walked to the door of the car. She raised her hand to help him, and he sat into the car, letting An Shuyan hold his arm and not waving her away.

  Once again, she felt her heart was hollowed out.

  Until all others left, got into the car, or tended to their business, Ji Nuan, who had been walking behind the crowd, got into the car Mo Jingshen was in. Mo Jingshen had closed his eyes and sat silently on the leather chair in the car. Perhaps he was asleep or taking a rest. He never looked at her, as if he didn’t care when or if she got in the car.

  This was a luxury limo and drove very smoothly. There were many people in the car. Although the An family people were not in this car, Mo Jingshen was still wearing the coat An Shuyan put on him.

  “Nuan Nuan, do you have anything to buy? If not, we’ll just go straight back to the Mo family. Before you and Jingshen return to Hai City, take a good rest in the Mo family home,” Wan Zhu said.

  “No.”


  Wan Zhu motioned to the driver to drive. She didn’t see anything wrong with Mo Jingshen, although he was more silent and unapproachable than before after he woke up; however, she noticed that Ji Nuan was a lot quieter these days.

  When they were about to reach the Mo family, Wan Zhu went with the servants who came with her to buy some things and said that she would make them a soup later. Mo Shaoze was not in the car. The driver was also called to help carry things by Wan Zhu, so after they got out of the car, there were only Ji Nuan, and Mo Jingshen left in the car.

  It was very silent.

  After Mo Jingshen woke up, his ward was bustling with people. Perhaps to avoid being alone with her, he, who always liked quiet environments, allowed many people to come to his ward.

  So, it was only now that the two were alone again.

  It was the first time Ji Nuan didn’t know what to say, or how to introduce a topic when she faced Mo Jingshen.
