After leaving the restaurant, Ji Nuan drove away alone. He did not go back to the company directly. Instead, when passing by the seaside of Binhai Road, he parked the car on the empty roadside and got out of the car.
Facing the endless sea, I took off my shoes and walked barefoot back and forth on the soft beach, looking at the footprints I left along the way. I walked back and forth like this for a long time. When I turned back, I found the footprints I had walked before. All were smoothly smoothed by the waves, leaving no trace.
She walked back and forth on the beach alone for a long time. It was not until dusk passed and the sky was getting dark that she sat down on the beach and took out her phone to take a look.
Mo Jingshen didn't reply.
Although she has found the answer to the question of her own life experience, everything is just the love and hatred of the older generation as she expected. No matter what kind of hatred or resentment, she is not qualified to hate on her mother's behalf. , her only right is to accept or not accept.
The reason why she went to see Mr. Xiao today was because she didn't hate him, she just didn't accept what the Xiao family was giving him now.
But there was always an unspeakable feeling in her heart that she couldn't release, and she didn't know how to resolve it. After driving here, she wanted to be alone for a while, but she found that the car that had been following her quietly a while ago was no longer there. The one that was not far away was parked on the road near Binhai Road. Although the behavior was quiet and the parking place was very hidden, Ji Nuan had already discovered it.
Wherever she goes, the car follows her. When she stops, the car stops too, always following her not far or near.
After observing for a few days, Ji Nuan was sure that the people in the car had no intention of doing anything to her. She probably guessed that this might be what Mo Jingshen said at the beginning, that the bodyguards arranged around her would not affect her work. life, but will be there when she needs it.
Just like Mo Jingshen, he is still like this now. He will not interfere with anything about her, will not break the wings she has finally grown, and will not affect her work and life, but he will always arrive when she needs her. .
But after he returned to the United States, he didn't find her for several days and didn't even reply to her messages.
Ji Nuan is now sitting on the beach staring at her phone in trance. She doesn't know if it's because of what Mr. Xiao said today or because of the person who never responded.
Didn't he say that he would return to Haicheng after returning to the United States
Didn't he ask her if she wanted to go back to Yuyuan with him
As a result, after returning to the United States, I didn’t even reply to any messages or even make a phone call.
Before leaving, this man ran to her company and did this and that in her office. Before going to bed, he coaxed her with sweet words, eating, going to Yuyuan, and returning to Haicheng. In the end, he picked up his pants and turned around and left, ignoring everyone. .
Ji Nuan resisted the urge to put him back on the blacklist, telling herself that even if he was put back on the blacklist, it would not stop him, and that such childish behavior was enough once, and there was no need to do it again.
But he still clicked on the phone screen several times with his fingers, and finally he forced himself to turn off the phone screen, stood up, walked barefoot, carrying the shoes lying aside, from the beach back to the road on Binhai Road. As always, there were very few vehicles on this stretch of road. She sat here for nearly two hours, during which time she only heard three or four cars passing by.
After cleaning the fine sand under his feet and putting on his shoes again, Ji Nuan did not go back to his car directly. Instead, he turned to look at the black car parked not far away and not too close. He stepped on his high heels and walked directly to the car. Walked over step by step.
The people in the car saw her looking in this direction and coming over with a clear purpose, so they didn't hide at all until she knocked on the car window twice and slowly lowered it, revealing the faces of two strange men.
"Miss Ji, what are your orders?" The person in the car asked her politely and respectfully.
Ji Nuan pursed her lips: "Who sent you to follow me?"
"Mr. Mo."
It was just as she expected.
"He sent you to protect me in the country?"
"Yes, Miss Ji, we have been here since you returned to Haicheng from London. Mr. Mo told you not to show up or affect your normal life, so we follow you carefully."
Ji Nuan crossed her arms and looked at them without saying a word.
The two men continued: "But there are some places where it is not convenient for us to enter without your permission, Miss Ji. For example, the charity dinner held in the city last time was organized by the city leaders. There were too many security guards and guards, and we didn’t have an invitation or follow you, so we weren’t allowed in.”
Ji Nuan pondered for a moment: "Did he explain anything else?"
"Mr. Mo only said that we should follow you from a distance to ensure your safety. He didn't say much else."
"He didn't tell you anything else before he returned to the United States?"
The two bodyguards looked at each other, and Ji Nuan was sensitive to the fact that they hesitated for two seconds longer than before when answering this question, and then answered: "No."
Ji Nuan looked at the two of them for a while, then turned around and left without asking any more questions.
After returning to his car, he threw his bag and mobile phone into the passenger seat, then looked at the street lights that turned on at seven o'clock in the evening, and drove home.
…
As the saying goes, the less you want to think about something, the more it will come to you.
On the fifth day after Mo Jingshen returned to the United States, an old client of the company who had cooperated with him for more than two years was going to Los Angeles to discuss a third-party project cooperation. This third-party project cooperation required people from MN Group to also go. The client is very picky. On weekdays, he does not even see the company's vice president and public relations personnel from other departments. Any contracts and projects are only discussed face to face with Ji Nuan himself, and not by anyone else.
So this time I went to Los Angeles and invited Ji Nuan to go with me.
The night before departure, when Ji Nuan returned to Yuehu Bay to prepare her luggage, she picked up her phone and looked at Mo Jingshen's profile picture.
After watching it for a long time, I finally put down my phone and began to pack my suitcase seriously, preparing to leave for Los Angeles.
…
Before leaving, Ji Nuan took out the blue diamond hidden deep in the drawer. Instead of throwing it at home like rags as Mo Jingshen said, he contacted a very well-known and authoritative company in China. The jewelry customization center sent the blue diamond to them and asked them to help create a simple and unique blue diamond necklace.
It takes about two weeks to customize, and she can pick it up shortly after she returns from the United States.
On the way to the jewelry customization center, Ji Nuan kept stroking the velvet box in her hand, thinking about many things, three years ago, three years later, past lives, and now.
