Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

“Won’t we get to meet tomorrow at the Mo family home? Why are you in such a rush to find me today?” Ji Nuan was too lazy to act excited, rejecting coldly. “If there’s anything else, let’s talk tomorrow. I’m busy.”

“I brought a good thing for you, Big Sister. If it’s convenient, let me go look for you.” Ji Mengran was very determined.

Ji Nuan was quiet for a moment. She did want to see what exactly she was trying to sell here. Tomorrow was Grandfather Mo’s birthday celebration. In the past two days, Ji Mengran has been earnestly trying to contact her, which suggested there was definitely something planned.

She met Ji Mengran at a dessert shop. Ji Nuan did not reveal where she was staying.

After arriving at the dessert shop, Ji Mengran saw that Ji Nuan was sitting by the window and walked in. She was scanning through her phone while sipping a cup of milk tea.

Ji Nuan pretended not to see her, keeping her eyes fixed on the news she was scrolling through on her phone. She appeared to be defenseless. Only when Ji Mengran approached the table, she coolly spoke. “Sit down. What exactly do you want to talk about?”

She was lazy to give Ji Mengran much face, nor did she feel the need to pretend that their sister relationship was strong.

Ji Mengran pushed a delicate box toward her. “Previously, didn’t you mention that you wanted to gift a chess board to Elder Mo? I begged Dad for a really long time, and he finally agreed to give this to me. Big Sister, why don’t you gift this to Grandfather Mo tomorrow.”

The last time, Ji Mengran was unaware of the fact that they had successfully obtained the chess book.

Ji Nuan did not even raise her head; her eyes fixed on the phone. Her voice was cold, causing others to feel like there was a distance of a thousand miles between them. “Grandfather Mo’s birthday, you sure are concerned about it.”

Ji Mengran naturally had to put on an expression of being concerned for her sister. “After all, you are my sister and Brother Jing Shen treats me well. I have to do something for both of you.”

“Is that so?” Ji Nuan placed the phone down, indifferently glancing at Ji Mengran.

At the moment their eyes met, Ji Mengran felt some fear in her heart because of her cold and indifferent gaze. “Big Sister, recently we’ve become much more distant. You won’t let me go to the Yu Garden, and now you won’t even tell me where you are staying. What exactly are you wary of?”

Ji Nuan glanced at the box, reaching out to open it. She saw that it was indeed the jade chessboard from the early Tang period that her father had kept for many years.

That it was real, was indeed very strange…

Ji Nuan closed the box, raising her thin fingers and unhurriedly tapping it against the glass table. “Why have you been so suspicious recently? Could it be that you’ve really done something wrong against me?”

Ji Mengran’s natural expression almost froze. “How could I have done anything against you. You are my sister. My blood-related sister!”

Ji Nuan’s gaze returned to her phone. Her voice was as light as the wind. “Isn’t that it? If you haven’t done anything wrong, why are you always worried?”

“I-I’m just… just asking… I’m worried that we’ve become too distant. Since I’m just overthinking, then I won’t ask more.”

Ji Nuan was indifferent and did not answer further.

Around ten minutes later, Ji Mengran found an excuse to leave.

Ji Nuan did not even take another peek at the chessboard. Her eyes remaining fixed on her phone screen. She casually searched up the information related to this jade chessboard and afterward, her lips curved up in an ambiguous smile. Her eyes were clear and bright, revealing none of her thoughts.
