After the New Year's Eve dinner, Wan Zhu urged Mo Jingshen to take Ji Nuan back to the room.
Even Ji Nuan could tell that Mo Jingshen's mother had no intention of letting her sit at the same dining table with the Su family for too long, so she directly urged her to take advantage of the fact that Ji Nuan was pregnant and needed more rest. .
After returning to the room, Ji Nuan looked at the time. It was still morning in China at this time. She sent New Year text messages to all her colleagues in the studio to express her blessings. Then she called Ji Hongwen and learned that Ji Mengran had not yet arrived. After the news, he accompanied Ji Hongwen and said a few words.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Nuan felt uncomfortable because he could not rush back to spend the New Year with Ji Hongwen. I don't know how he finally handled Shen Heru's matter, but I think the Ji family must be very deserted this year.
She turned around and entered the bathroom. She soaked in the bathroom for a long time alone. When she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard the sound of the door. She turned around and saw Mo Jingshen coming in. She was still a little confused, but he had already passed her by. Taken out of the bathtub.
"Didn't you continue to talk to Dad and Mr. Su?" Ji Nuan was wet, and she was afraid of getting his clothes wet, but seeing that he didn't mind at all, she didn't resist. She grabbed the towel on the side before being carried out of the bathroom. To avoid being carried out naked like this.
"It's getting late, it's more important to be with you." Mo Jingshen carried her to the bedside, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, his dark eyes falling on her collarbone and shoulders, which were still covered with drops of water. He closed his eyes and restrained himself for a moment, then lifted up the corner of the towel she was wearing and wiped her hair that was still dripping with water.
In the end, when Ji Nuan sat on the bed and let Mo Jingshen help dry her hair, she held her chin with one hand and looked at the balcony on the side of the room: "Ms. Wanzhu is such a good mother-in-law. You were engaged to Su Zhilan before. Was she also so kind to Miss Su?"
Mo Jingshen's slender and well-jointed fingers were running through her hair, and he said calmly: "At least the relationship is much better than the obviously distant relationship now."
"Now that we are facing such a huge emotional gap in all aspects, I admire that Miss Su can still insist on having New Year's Eve dinner with us here." Ji Nuan said as she flicked her face twice with her fingers. , then raised his eyebrows and said: "But your mother is really nice, and she is definitely a mother-in-law with high emotional intelligence. Before I came back here, I never expected that there would be such a mother-in-law. I thought that apart from Grandpa Mo, other people in the Mo family No one likes me."
Mo Jingshen's eyes were calm and distant, he touched her dried hair, put the hair dryer aside, put his palm on her shoulder, and said: "Because she knows that my wife is you, and I am still her. Her biological son, she always knows in her heart who she should turn to."
Ji Nuan thought about what Mo Jingshen's mother did today. She was as considerate as possible externally, but also extremely caring internally. Well, she was indeed a very knowledgeable mother-in-law.
…
It was not yet midnight, and the servant said that there was a fruit plate and various candies and snacks downstairs to eat. Ji Nuan had been in constant trouble since her pregnancy. The habit of pregnant women being slanderous was only highlighted today. She took advantage of Mo Jingshen to take a shower, A man opened the door and was about to go downstairs to get some snacks.
As soon as she went out, she heard movement at the top of the stairs. She and Mo Jingshen lived on the third floor. As soon as she reached the second floor, she saw Su Zhilan standing at the top of the stairs, as if she was passing by, but she was clearly not passing by.
Su Zhilan glanced at her, then looked up in the direction behind Ji Nuan, and found that Mo Jingshen did not come out with her and did not see him.
"Miss Ji is pregnant, congratulations." Su Zhilan just leaned against the railing, staring at Ji Nuan.
Unexpectedly, Su Zhilan would suddenly say such a sentence, and Ji Nuan stopped.
He had heard that Su Zhilan had mania more than once, so Ji Nuan instinctively did not approach her and stood half a floor away from her on the stairs.
"Miss Su, why don't you rest so late?"
"Can't sleep." Seeing that Ji Nuan was deliberately keeping a distance from her, Su Zhilan moved her beautiful eyebrows vaguely, raised her steps, and walked directly in Ji Nuan's direction step by step.
Seeing her coming up like this, Ji Nuan felt that she would not do anything so blatantly, not to mention that the inability to control emotions like mania must have a temporary cause. Su Zhilan looked too calm now. .
But Ji Nuan still instinctively walked to the other side until he could hold the railing firmly and stopped. He put his hand on the railing and used some strength to avoid any "accident".
"I hope my grandfather's words today did not hurt you." Su Zhilan approached and said, "Please also ask Miss Ji to be magnanimous and not care too much about these things. After leaving the hospital that day, I actually thought about it a lot. Since the depth of field has been chosen, You, this marriage is already a very legal wall, not to mention you are still pregnant, which is an even greater responsibility for Depth of Field. At this point, I can't do anything I want to do, although I still feel a little uncomfortable. I’m willing, but I understand…”
Su Zhilan's tone was natural and her expression was sincere.
Unfortunately, Ji Nuan could hear a lot of aggression in her words that seemed to be giving in.
Is Su Zhilan saying that Mo Jingshen is just a shackle of marriage and a necessary responsibility to her
"I think Miss Su may have grown up in the United States, and her usage of some Chinese words is not appropriate. The word 'understand' is not meant in this way." Ji Nuan smiled faintly: "There are many words that don't need to be repeated. Miss Su knows in her heart whether the wall blocking your eyes is our marriage, or you have never really entered it at all, so how can you talk about breaking through the wall?"
Su Zhilan looked at her, her eyes gradually turned cold, and she finally regained her pride. The coldness on her face also showed that she was deeply hurt by Ji Nuan's words.
"In addition, Miss Su, since you have investigated me, you should know that President Mo is not particularly satisfied with me. But under such circumstances, when Mr. Su questioned me this afternoon, he chose to remain silent. It is obvious that he is not satisfied with you. I’m not very satisfied, just in this aspect of the Mo family, you are already the one who has been rejected.”
Ji Nuanliang's calm tone didn't deliberately highlight anything, but it was the honest words that touched people's hearts the most.
Su Zhilan stopped talking to her and suddenly turned around and went downstairs.
Ji Nuan looked at her back until she was far away, then raised her hand from the railing, looked down at her slightly sweaty palms, and couldn't help but laugh.
Maybe it's because Su Zhilan's personality is too difficult to control and too changeable. Ji Nuan has been worried about any fall or collision since she knew her tire pressure was unstable, and she has been taking precautions just now. Now, in just a few words of confrontation, I realized that I was indeed too defensive.
