The man spoke calmly,
If you lose an opportunity like this, there’s no making up for it. Do you plan on being stubborn and giving up such a good opportunity, or obediently coming to Jing City with me? You decide.

 

Ji Nuan did not reply.
 

The discomfort in her abdomen made it difficult for her to think. At the thought that she would be taking a business trip on her period and considering half the luggage space she had to save for her pads, she truly found it inconvenient.

But the invitation from the government was already here. Ji Nuan was no match against him.
She held the document and opened her car. She then slammed the door with a loud bang.

Two days later, on the way to the airport, Ji Nuan received a WeChat message from Yan Ge: [Sister Nuan, your wounds should be mostly healed, right? Are you able to head out now? When do you need me to work?]
 

Ji Nuan: [I’m heading to Jing City for a business trip. I’ll inform you when I’m back?]
 

Yan Ge: [You can’t really be firing me, right? (bullied expression)]
 

Ji Nuan: [No, if I really don’t need a bodyguard, I would never have hired you in the first place. The thought of having a SWAT officer by my side everyday really gives me a sense of security. There’s no way I’ll let you go!]
 

Yan Ge stared at his phone screen for a moment and smiled: [Are you heading to Jing City alone? When will you be back? Do you need my company?]
 

Ji Nuan: [No, no. I’ll be heading there with Shine Group. I’m not sure when I’ll be back, but I heard it’ll take at least two weeks.]
 

Yan Ge: [Shine Group? Your ex-husband’s company? You’re heading there with CEO Mo?]
 

She replied: [En.]
 

Yan Ge stared at the screen for a long while before sending a gloomy voice record over:
Sister Nuan, take care of yourself. The word ‘ex-husband’ means the two of you are no longer related. Be careful not to let him take advantage of you when you’re there. Let me know when you’re back, and I’ll pick you up from the airport.]

When she arrived at the airport, as there were other things to settle at her company, the chauffeur rushed away after placing her things down.
Ji Nuan held a 30-inch large luggage as she stood in the departure hall, watching the tourists come and go.
There was less than an hour before boarding. She waited for several minutes but did not see Mo Jingshen or his people. To avoid missing the flight, she gave Mo Jingshen a call.
 

The moment the call to Mo Jingshen’s private number went through, it was hung up with a single ring.
Ji Nuan was startled as she heard the line being cut off. Before she could put her phone down, a long arm reached over from her side and paused on the handle of her luggage.
 

The man’s distinctive finger wrapped around the handle and pulled it up. At the same time, a mild voice rang from above her head.
Let’s go.

Ji Nuan raised her head abruptly to see that Mo Jingshen was pushing her luggage toward the first-class passage.
Ji Nuan placed her phone down. She did not wear a pair of heels today as she needed to rush to the plane. As the man’s legs were long, it was difficult to catch up to him. She had no choice but to jog forward when, unexpectedly, the man stopped.
 

Ji Nuan’s face almost slammed into his back. The moment her forehead came into contact with his clothes, she subconsciously took a large step backward and barely stood firm. She raised her eyes.
Why did you suddenly stop?



 

Mo Jingshen glanced at the luggage he was holding and turned back to eyed her:
We’re heading to Jing City for half a month, not half a year. You’re bringing so much with you?

 

Ji Nuan followed his gaze to the extra-large 30-inch luggage she had brought.
If it was not because her great-aunt was visiting soon, she would not have prepared two large packets of pads. Originally, a twenty-inch luggage would have sufficed. However, although the pads were not heavy, they took up quite a lot of space. She had no choice but to bring a big luggage.
Besides, she was a woman. She was already being rather careless by only using a single luggage for half a month. Did he expect her to be as minimalistic as him?
 


My period is coming soon. I had to bring some things along.
Ji Nuan ran her hand through her hair and raised her head to give him a careless smile.
Previously, Yan Ge had reminded her to be careful not to be taken advantage. Although this business trip coincided with her period, it also meant she had the protection of her great-aunt. Even if Mo Jingshen wanted to do something, there was nothing he could to her at such a time.
Hearing the word ‘period,’ the man’s gaze finally landed on her complexion. It appeared better as she had applied a light layer of make-up. He then understood the reason she previously appeared to be unwell.
It was almost time to board. Mo Jingshen did not reply as he pushed her luggage toward the first-class passage.
There were two foreigners waiting in line. As Ji Nuan stood behind Mo Jingshen, watching the man’s strangely silent back view, she couldn’t resist a smile.
This was the first time she felt that her period had come at a good time.


Finally, they went through the security check. Ji Nuan brought out her phone as they made their way to the departure lounge. Abruptly, she heard the man’s composed voice by her side:
I remember that your period only lasts four to five days each time?

 

Ji Nuan paused. She raised her eyes in shock, watching as the man composedly brought her luggage to the departure lounge.
 

Ji Nuan:
…

 

At the lounge, a somewhat familiar male assistant approached.
Nice to meet you, CEO Ji. I’m the assistant who will be accompanying CEO Mo for this trip. My name is Xiao Hu.

Ji Nuan had assumed that Shen Mu would be joining them. To her surprise, it was a new face. She politely nodded.
 

When Xiao Hu left to take some water for Ji Nuan, Ji Nuan went in to ask,
Why didn’t Shen Mu come with us?

 


Something cropped up at home. He applied for two weeks of leave.

 

Ji Nuan turned back and glanced at Xiao Hu. His movements were deft and quick; typically, the people who could join Mo Jingshen on his business trips were capable and dependable. After all, Mo Jingshen had a good eye for people.
She did not say more and found a suitable place to sit down. She brought her phone out to surf the net. She then scanned through the WeChat pages of the people she had added recently. Finally, she opened a pink application used to take notes on her period. There was another day before her great-aunt would visit.
She rubbed her abdomen. Although her period no longer hurt as much as before, it would still bring her discomfort. Typically, Xiao Ba would prepare brown sugar water and heat packs for her. Without Xiao Ba by her side, she suddenly found it difficult to adapt.


Xiao Hu approached with a cup of water and placed it by Ji Nuan’s hand. Ji Nuan turned to see that the water was warm.
