Ji Nuan saw from Mo Jingshen’s gaze that he was clearly unwilling to eat it. She lifted it closer to his lips:
Just one bite.

The man had already given into her childish antics plenty of times tonight. As expected, he gave her face once more and took a bite of the biscuit she offered.

How is it? It’s good isn’t it?


Not bad.

By ‘not bad,’ what Boss Mo meant was that it did not taste horrible. His words could also be understood as ‘delicious.’


Mo Jingshen could easily tell that she was feeling proud and allowed her to be as she pleased. By the time the two of them left the night market, it was late in the evening. This night market spanned across a large distance. Although Ji Nuan had previously changed into a set of casual wear, she was still wearing the pair of heels meant to go with her gown.
Her feet had been hurting when they ran from the venue. After walking through the entire night market, right now, the pain in her feet was truly unbearable.

Earlier, you came directly from the airport. Did you drive here?
Ji Nuan saw that the night market’s exit was crowded and jam-packed with cars. She guessed that it would be impossible to flag down a cab here as there were too many people hoping to hop on one.

No.


Then, how will we go back?
Ji Nuan scanned the cabs amongst the sea of people; there were barely any available cars.
Right now, they were not in T University, but in the city center where T University chose to hold its one hundredth anniversary celebration. From here, heading to T University and the condo would take them at least thirty minutes by car. However, it was impossible to get into a cab from here.

Let’s head to the plaza outside the venue’s main entrance. It’s less crowded and more convenient to flag down a cab there.


The plaza outside the main entrance?
Ji Nuan turned toward the direction of the venue. This place was rather far away from where they had started. She considered returning back to the main entrance, and as she stared at the long path and the streetlights ahead, she felt her legs aching even more.
Mo Jingshen lowered his eyes:
Do your legs hurt?


It’s all right. This sort of heels is meant to go with gowns, so they’re a little taller than usual shoes. It’s not very convenient for walking long distances.
Ji Nuan’s answer was casual.


The man chuckled lightly. She was clearly in pain and worried about the long walk ahead, yet she insistently held onto her face. His thin lips curved into a gentle smile.
It’s not as if I’ll laugh at you if you admit it. Why are you forcing yourself to bear with it?


What else can I do? We can’t possibly sleep on the streets. Our condo is located right in T City; it’s not especially far away. There’s no need to stay in a hotel nearby. Besides, I didn’t even bring my identity card, so we can’t enter a hotel.
Ji Nuan held a few small bags in her hand. She raised her feet, shifting it in an attempt to ease the aching pain.
It’s already so late. Even if you want to call your chauffeur over, he might already be asleep. Let’s just call a cab…

She suddenly paused as the tall man knelt down in front of her.

Climb on.

Ji Nuan watched the crowd around them before turning toward the plaza that was a long distance away from them. She then looked at the man kneeling before her, her lips curving into a sweet smile. Without arguing further, she approached to lean against his back.
Mo Jingshen brought her up into a piggyback carry. His long leg shifted forward as he took stable steps ahead.
Ji Nuan wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her face close.
Have you carried anyone else on your back?

The man’s smile could be heard from his voice:
Of course not.


What about that fiancée in America; have you ever carried her?


No.


Ji Nuan wanted to ask more but recalled that he previously left for America to settle this issue. Even though she was still clueless about that person’s identity, there was truly no need to bring it up right now.
She rubbed her face against his ear, asking softly,
Am I heavy?

He chuckled lightly.
How heavy do you think you are?


I usually eat quite a lot, ah. Previously, I was eating so much, I thought that I was pregnant. My weight also increased by several kilograms.

She hugged his neck tightly as she spoke. She then lowered her eyes to look at the white, cheaply priced t-shirt she was holding. This was the t-shirt she frequently wore in her previous life when she couldn’t even afford a one-hundred-yuan shirt.
She softly spoke:
You always treat me so well; you barely allow me to experience any normal pain or suffering. At this rate, I’ll be spoiled into becoming a glass princess. The kind that will shatter the moment it falls against the ground.

The man was quiet for a moment before he chuckled lightly.
When you’re by my side, there is no need for you to concern yourself with things like normal pain and suffering.

Ji Nuan murmured.
Is this the privilege of being Mrs. Mo?


It’s your privilege. Exclusive to Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan leaned against the man’s shoulder, her lips curving.


Exclusive to her?

The woman pressed her face against the man’s cheek, leaning against his warmth to whisper,
And so, why did you choose me?

He did not answer.

Mo Jingshen.


En?

On the long path at night, the two had already walked quite a distance and were far away from the vibrant night market. Occasionally, a car would quickly speed by. The perfect distance from the noise and silence made it seem as though the two of them were alone in this world. The sky was wide and the land was broad, but her world consisted of the warmth from his back.

You must have secretly fallen for me at some point, didn’t you? Otherwise, why would you have agreed to marry me so easily, and why would you have treated me so well from the start!

The broad-shouldered and tall man chuckled but did not answer. He carried her on his back and continued walking forward.
—-

You’ve been carrying me for so long. Are you tired?




En, tired.


…then put me down. I can walk by myself. We’re not far from the plaza now.

Instead of placing her down, the man tightened his grip around her.
Lean on me properly. Don’t move about.


You said you’re tired…


Your lips haven’t been resting this entire walk. I’m tired of chatting with you.


…

He was actually complaining that she was talking too much.
—-
The moment they arrived home, Ji Nuan quickly changed her shoes and felt her feet relaxing instantly.
After showering, Mo Jingshen leaned down to kiss her cheek.
Nuan Nuan.


En?


I’m flying back to Hai City tomorrow morning. The day after, I’ll be heading abroad.
He paused for several seconds before adding on mildly:
I’ll be back quickly. Your class ends next week, so I’ll come directly to T City to pick you up.

Ji Nuan nodded, lagging for a moment before making an ‘oh’ sound.
She felt that recently, most of the things Mo Jingshen worked on were located abroad. Furthermore, it was a long time since she heard news about Nan Heng. Feng Ling’s lips have also been tightly sealed. Who knew what exactly Mo Jingshen was busy with?

I’ll worry if you return to Hai City alone. Stay in the condo obediently for the next few days. Wait for my return next week and have Feng Ling help you pack your things up. I’ll come to pick you up, en?

Ji Nuan did not ask anything:
All right.


Be good and let Feng Ling follow you. I won’t be in the country for the next few days so don’t make me worry.
The man’s long fingers gently toyed with her hair. He softly and heavily said,
When I’m not around, don’t interact with those people in your dorm. There’s no need to pay any attention to those people unrelated to you. Set your mind at ease and wait for my return.
