Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

Mo Jingshen looked as though he did not hear her words. He received the glass of wine handed over by a nearby server, smiling mildly as he continued his discussion with others. His expression did not reveal any of his feelings, yet it caused An Shuyan to feel that he was turning a deaf ear to her from beginning to end. This way of avoiding her made her feel he was unfathomable.

An Shuyan’s father and Mo Shaoze had already approached. An Shuyan gently tugged her hand placed on Mo Jingshen’s arm, yet she only managed to pull on his sleeve.

From start to finish, although the two came in together, she was the one taking the initiative to hold him and to press against him. He did not respond in the slightest, nor was there even a bit of skin contact. He did not even allow her to touch his hand, maintaining a suitable distance between them.

In the eyes of others, they appeared harmonious, but only An Shuyan knew of the distance between Mo Jingshen and her.

“Jing Shen, thank god you’ve been taking care of Shu Yan since she arrived in Hai Cheng. If it wasn’t because she was following you, as a father, I really wouldn’t have been able to bear the distance and would have flown over to check on her.” Father An laughed happily. “That Shu Yan is by your side really puts me at ease.”

It was as though Mo Jingshen only just noticed them approaching. He held the wineglass in his hand, gently knocking it against Father An’s glass, mildly and gracefully smiling. “Uncle An, you’re too polite.”

“We have spoiled Shu Yan in America. Her temper is quite stubborn. It’s rare that you give me this amount of face.” Father An was excited. “Although Hai Cheng’s Mo Corporation has only been developing for a few years, it has been the unexpected winner in the local security and technology industry. If it continues developing as it has, in less than ten years, you could surpass the nearly one hundred years old Shine Group!”

Father An smiled as he spoke to Mo Shaoze. “The youngsters these days are really all out of the ordinary, especially Jing Shen. He hasn’t even reached his independent years, and he has already become so amazing. Having such an amazing son really makes one feel envy!”

“You’re praising too much.” Mo Jingshen’s true emotions were difficult to understand. He only showed a mild, steady smile on the surface. “Even if I train for ten more years, I won’t achieve a minuscule percentage of what Uncle An has accomplished.”

Father An laughed, knocking their glasses together once more. He took another glance at his daughter standing by Mo Jingshen’s side from beginning to end with a magnanimous smile. Indeed, it was a match made in heaven.

Ji Nuan drank all that wine earlier. She stood in the bathroom for a long while before choosing to enter one of the cubicles to sit for a moment. She took out her phone to check the time and realized that there was no signal in the bathroom.

A moment later, she heard faint noises from outside.

Ji Nuan consciously stood up. At the same time, the bathroom light flickered. It seemed like electricity had an issue. In an instant, the light flickered out, leaving a sea of darkness—
