Ji Nuan was not unconscious for long. Earlier on, she was already feeling unwell. With the stuffy bathroom air and the feeling of breathlessness that came with the small, tight cubicle, she could not pinpoint when she had actually lost consciousness.
She struggled for a long time in her nightmares. Those nightmares of the past that have not appeared for a long time disturbed her mind.
It was only when she felt as though she was suddenly placed in a pool of warm water, her cold body gradually warming up, that the anxiety from those nightmares slowly dissipated.
There was the sensation of a strong hand behind her neck, supporting her weight the whole time. Occasionally, another hand would land on her forehead, as though testing her temperature.
So warm… so comfortable…
Was this a dream as well?
Abruptly, Ji Nuan opened her eyes. Her gaze was unfocused for a moment, and after a while, she slowly regained awareness. She turned her head over somewhat dazedly, glancing at the man by the bathtub.
The moment she saw Mo Jingshen’s face right by her side, her heart skipped a beat. She stared with wide eyes at the man whose brows were currently tightly furrowed, his gaze cold and stern. His palm was still pressed against her forehead.
She was startled. She saw that his suit jacket was thrown on the bathroom floor not far away, part of his dress shirt was unbuttoned, and the sleeves were rolled up, revealing his wrists. However, because those two hands were carefully supporting her the whole time to prevent her from choking on the water, his sleeves were unavoidably somewhat soaked. Yet, he appeared as though he did not care, his gaze heavy and strangely leading others to freeze even though it was not cold.
Ji Nuan’s mind could not really keep up.
Wasn’t she just locked in the bathroom?
How did he realize she was at the event?
How was it that, when she suddenly woke up, he was right in front of her, all of her clothes were removed, and she was lying in the bathroom like this?
Outside the bathroom, the room door was tightly shut. The sound of footsteps drifted in, accompanied by An Shuyan’s voice outside the door, “CEO Mo, the clothes I brought are new. Do you want to let Mrs. Mo change into them?”
Mo Jingshen acted as though he heard nothing. His cold gaze landed on Ji Nuan’s pale face.
“You wanted to come to the evening party, but you didn’t ask me directly and looked for the Sheng one instead. What’s the meaning of this?”
Ji Nuan finally returned to herself. However, the alcohol was still messing with her mind and affecting her composure.
Outside, An Shuyan was still gently knocking on the door.
Ji Nuan was quiet for a moment. She then smiled somewhat casually; her gaze slightly dazed from the alcohol. “You could come here with An Shuyan in your arms, why couldn’t I look for someone else?”
She did not explain how she had come here, nor did she wish to explain.
The moment her words landed, she felt that the hand behind her neck seemed to have grown spikes. She began to struggle to sit up.
“Don’t move.” Mo Jingshen’s voice was low and heavy, his gaze clear as he pressed her down. “The bathroom was too humid and damp. Your body temperature was too low. Soak in the bathtub for a while longer.”
“I’m all right. Earlier on, I just had some difficulty breathing. Right now, it’s much better.”
Ji Nuan said mindlessly. She sat up from the bathtub and reached up to remove his hand but was instead held by his.
