The next morning, Shen Mo woke up and looked in the mirror, and found that there was indeed a cut at the corner of his mouth. The bite mark left by Ji Mingxuan was clearly visible and could not be covered.
If he went to the company like this, I’m afraid rumors would start to spread all over the place again. But… this should be exactly what Mr. Ji wanted, right?
Shen Mo sighed, washed up, and went downstairs with a wound on the corner of his mouth.
Ji Anan’s laughter could be heard from afar in the dining room. The Ji brother and sister were chatting happily. Shen Mo walked over and greeted them. Ji Anan looked up and said, “Brother Shen…”
She was halfway through her sentence when her eyes fell on his lips.
”Eh? Brother Shen, what’s wrong with your mouth?”
Shen Mo sat down and said, “It’s okay. I accidentally bumped into it yesterday.”
”How could it be knocked like this? It looks like…”
”An An,” Ji Mingxuan tapped the table with his fingers and said, “Eat something.”
Ji Anan glanced at Ji Mingxuan, then at Shen Mo, and suddenly realized something. She smiled and said, “Yes, yes, I’ll have breakfast, you guys can chat.”
Ji Mingxuan ignored Shen Mo, and Shen Mo had nothing to say. Both of them just focused on eating. In the end, it was Ji Anan who livened up the atmosphere, saying that she was going to an interview for a job today.
Ji Mingxuan said: “Why bother looking for a job yourself? Wouldn’t it be better for you to come to the company and help me?”
”I’m not Brother Shen, so I don’t want to be with you day and night.”
As they were talking, Ji Anan’s phone rang. She turned sideways to answer the call, and even her voice was permeated with sweetness: “Yes, I’ve finished eating. Well, I’ll go out now.”
Ji Mingxuan said: “It seems that the person you want to be with day and night has come to pick you up.”
Ji Anan did not deny it. She just said, “Take your time to eat,” and hurried out.
Shen Mo seemed to hear the sound of a car starting. He remembered that when he was with Zhou Yang, he was also so eager to meet that person. Then he came to his senses and found that Ji Mingxuan was looking at him with a smile.
”Mr. Ji…” Shen Mo felt a little guilty.
Ji Mingxuan hummed, reached out and pinched his chin, looked at his face carefully, and asked, “Does the wound on your lip still hurt?”
Shen Mo quickly said: “It doesn’t hurt.”
Ji Mingxuan curled up the corners of his mouth, lowered his head to kiss his lips, and deliberately touched his wound with his tongue.
Shen Mo only felt a slight pain and protested: “Mr. Ji…”
Ji Mingxuan waited until he had kissed enough before letting him go, and said righteously: “Disinfect you.”
Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, and could only say: “Thank you.”
Ji Mingxuan smiled like spring breeze, stood up and said: “It’s time to go to work, I’ll take you there.”
Shen Mo has followed Ji Mingxuan for three years, but he still can’t figure out his temper. Sometimes he is chatting and laughing in the last second, and turns hostile in the next second. In short, he is weird and moody, and the best way to deal with him is to be obedient.
So Shen Mo took Ji Mingxuan’s car to the company.
The wound on his mouth attracted a lot of curious looks, but everyone was civilized and at least didn’t gossip in front of him.
A few days later, Shen Mo’s wound healed, and Ji An’an successfully found a job. It was the weekend, and Ji Mingxuan was busy as usual. Ji An’an ran over and knocked on Shen Mo’s door and asked, “Brother Shen, are you free this afternoon?”
”Yes, what is it?”
”Zhou Yang’s birthday is in a few days. I want to pick a gift for him. Can you go with me?”
Shen Mo then remembered that Zhou Yang’s birthday was in winter. He tried not to recall the past, but he actually forgot a lot. He hesitated about how to decline politely, but Ji Anan continued, “I have to rack my brains to buy gifts every year. Brother Shen, you and Zhou Yang are old classmates, so you should be able to help me with some advice.”
Shen Mo smiled bitterly and said, “I’m not very familiar with Zhou Yang.”
”It’s okay, you can help me carry my things.”
Shen Mo was the worst at refusing people, and after much persuasion from Ji Anan, he finally went out with her.
Ji Anan went straight to the department store she often went to, and Shen Mo worked for her for free. It was the first time he knew how troublesome it was to accompany a woman shopping. It took most of the day just to go to the men’s clothing counter, and Shen Mo’s hands were sore from helping her try on clothes. After that, Ji Anan fell in love with another cufflink, and was undecided between two styles. It was Shen Mo who made the decision for her, and she simply bought both.
Ji Anan thought for a moment and said, “Okay, the other one can be given to my eldest brother.”
She was very satisfied with the gift she bought, and seeing that it was getting late, she suggested going to a nearby restaurant for dinner. “It’s a restaurant recommended by my eldest brother. I heard that the signature dishes there are good.”
Shen Mo was already exhausted and just wanted to sit down and rest, so of course he had no objection.
The store was not far away, so the two walked over. After entering the store, they found out that they needed to make an appointment. Ji Anan had no choice but to give Ji Mingxuan’s name. As luck would have it, a new customer came in at this time, and Shen Mo looked up and saw Ji Mingxuan.
Ji Anan was very surprised and asked, “Brother is also coming here to eat?”
Ji Mingxuan was stunned and asked, “Why are you two here?”
Ji Anan grabbed Shen Mo’s arm and said, “Brother, you are busy with work every day, so I have no choice but to let Brother Shen accompany me.”
Then she said, “We didn’t make a reservation.”
Ji Mingxuan touched her hair and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, I won’t let you go hungry.”
Then he turned to the person next to him and asked, “Do you mind having dinner together?”
The person next to him was called Zhao Yi, a good-looking little star who seemed to be gaining popularity recently and frequently appeared in various activities. Shen Mo had watched several TV series in which he acted, and felt that he was more charming in person than on TV.
Zhao Yi smiled slightly, his demeanor impeccable: “Of course no problem.”
