Shen Mo didn’t know how he walked to Ji Mingxuan’s side. Anyway, when he came to his senses, Ji Mingxuan had already held his hand tightly.
After a while, Zhou Yang hurried over and saw Ji Mingxuan and Shen Mo shaking hands. He was startled, but he quickly covered it up and asked, “What happened?”
”It’s okay,” Ji Mingxuan put down the sleeves of his shirt and said calmly, “I drank a little too much and accidentally bumped into someone.”
Looking at the situation at the scene, it was clear that he was lying with open eyes, but although everyone was whispering, no one spoke out to refute him.
Zhou Yang also said: “I see.”
Ji Mingxuan reached out and patted his shoulder, and said very naturally: “Please help me deal with the rest, brother-in-law.”
”Yes,” Zhou Yang’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down, and he said, “Brother.”
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Shen Mo. Before Shen Mo could even look him in the face, he was dragged away by Ji Mingxuan.
Shen Mo followed Ji Mingxuan involuntarily and caught a glimpse of Zhao Yi standing in the crowd, but Ji Mingxuan didn’t even look at him and walked straight out of the hotel lobby.
There is a small garden outside the hall, which is also beautifully built with a lot of money. A stream flows slowly in the middle, and various unknown plants are planted around it. It was the fifteenth night, and the moon was big and round. The moonlight fell quietly, and there was a quiet and beautiful feeling.
Ji Mingxuan slowed down his pace and said, “Come out and sober up.”
Shen Mo had seen him drunk before, and knew that he was sober now, but he did not expose him. He just looked at his hand and said, “Mr. Ji is injured.”
Ji Mingxuan then remembered and said nonchalantly, “It’s just a little scrape.”
Shen Mo grabbed his hand and took a careful look at it in the moonlight. He saw that it was only a minor skin injury. However, the fact that he could beat someone like this showed that he had used a lot of strength.
His heart was pounding, and he still felt like he was in a dream.
Or maybe he could never have imagined that someone like Mr. Ji would actually fight with others in public.
He held Ji Mingxuan’s hand and asked, “Do you want to go to the hospital?”
Then he muttered to himself, “So many people saw you hitting someone. I wonder what the newspaper will say about it tomorrow?”
Ji Mingxuan said with a smile: “How should I write it? At most, I would write about the marriage between the Ji family and the Zhou family, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, and I wouldn’t be mentioned.”
With Ji Mingxuan’s ability, it would be easy for him to suppress this matter. But the more such a person is, the more he values his status and will never lose his composure in public.
Therefore, Ji Mingxuan’s actions today surprised many people.
”Mr. Ji.”
”Um?”
”Why did you hit that person just now?”
Shen Mo knew the answer in his heart, but he was not sure and wanted to hear Ji Mingxuan say it himself.
But Ji Mingxuan didn’t answer him, but held his hand with his backhand and said, “Walk with me.”
This garden is not very big, and you can reach the end in just a few steps. Ji Mingxuan seemed to think that he had not walked enough, so he took Shen Mo’s hand and walked around in circles.
Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Mo began to think about his worries. He was just wandering off to somewhere else when he heard Ji Mingxuan call him, “Shen Mo.”
Shen Mo turned his head blankly, only to find that Ji Mingxuan had stopped and was looking down at him.
The hazy moonlight made his facial features look particularly charming.
He looked at Shen Mo quietly, as if he had been looking at him for a long time, his eyes like water, gently brushing across his face.
Shen Mo’s heart started beating again, and he couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Ji…”
The moonlight was silent.
Ji Mingxuan didn’t say a word, but just lowered his head and gently kissed Shen Mo’s lips.
Shen Mo didn’t sleep well that night, and he was still groggy the next morning. He hadn’t drunk a drop of alcohol, but he seemed to have blacked out after drinking, and many memories became blurry. For example, the grand engagement party of Zhou Yang and Ji Anan, and the scarred man who frightened him to the point of shaking. The only thing he remembered clearly was the way Ji Mingxuan rolled up his sleeves to fight with others, and… the kiss under the moonlight.
Shen Mo raised his hand and touched his lips. After a night, he still felt a slight numbness.
He got up late today, and when he went downstairs, the Ji brothers and sisters were already in the restaurant[1]dining hall or room. Ji Anan was pestering Ji Mingxuan to ask about what happened last night.
”I heard that Zhou Yang’s cousin used to be a gangster. How dare you fight him? Aren’t you afraid of being knocked down by him with one punch? What if something goes wrong?”
Ji Mingxuan was unable to resist her and had to answer, “I know. Don’t be afraid. That kind of thing won’t happen.”
Ji Anan’s gossiping heart was not satisfied, so she held her chin and said, “Everyone says that you were drunk last night, but as far as I know, your alcohol tolerance shouldn’t be that bad.”
Ji Mingxuan said casually: “Whatever they say is fine.”
Ji Anan was obviously not satisfied with this answer. Seeing Shen Mo just coming over, she asked, “Brother Shen, you were with my brother yesterday. Do you think he was drunk?”
Although Shen Mo knew the whole story, he couldn’t explain it to Ji An’an. Fortunately, Ji Mingxuan helped him out and changed the subject: “An’an, are you taking a break today?”
”Yeah, it’s the weekend today.”
”There’s a car show this afternoon. Go pick out a car yourself. Consider it my engagement gift to you.”
”There are so many cars in the garage, I can drive any one of them, why buy a new one?”
”That’s different.” Ji Mingxuan smiled and turned his gaze to Shen Mo, “I have something to do today, you can go with An An, and take a look at the cars you like. It’s not like you don’t have a driver’s license, so there’s no need to walk to work every day.”
Shen Mo didn’t expect that he would be involved. Just when he was about to refuse, Ji Anan said, “Okay, okay, I’ll go with Brother Shen, and we’ll definitely be able to pick a suitable car. Don’t worry, brother.”
As she spoke, she winked at Ji Mingxuan.
Ji Mingxuan chuckled and said nothing more. After breakfast, he went to the company.
Ji Anan went back to her room, changed her clothes and put on makeup, then pestered Shen Mo to go out together. Shen Mo couldn’t persuade her, so he had to accompany her.
The two of them had lunch outside. Ji Anan kept talking about cars along the way, asking Shen Mo what brand, model, and displacement of car he liked. Shen Mo usually didn’t pay attention to these things, and couldn’t tell whether he liked them or not, so he said, “It’s good if you like them. I’m just taking a look, I don’t have to buy them.”
Ji Anan glanced at him and couldn’t help laughing. She said, “Do you think Big Brother really wants to give me an engagement gift? He wants to buy you a car, but he’s too embarrassed to say it directly, so he’s using me as a cover. Do you believe that if you don’t pick a car today, he’ll throw you a car key tomorrow, and it’s the kind that’s incredibly expensive?”
In the past, Shen Mo would definitely not believe it, but after what happened last night, he became a little uncertain. He has always been a straightforward person, unlike Ji Mingxuan who was so roundabout even when buying a car, so he could never guess what Mr. Ji was thinking.
Shen Mo was concentrating on thinking about Ji Mingxuan, but he didn’t expect to meet Zhou Yang at the auto show.
Ji Anan was also surprised and whispered, “I only sent him a text message, but I didn’t ask him to come over.”
But after all, they were in love, so they were delighted to see each other. She smiled and said to Zhou Yang, “Why are you here too?”
”My fiancée wants to choose a car, so of course I have to come and take a look.”
”Didn’t you say something happened at home? Your cousin…”
”It’s been dealt with.” Zhou Yang’s face darkened, his eyes swept across Shen Mo’s face intentionally or unintentionally, and said, “He offended someone he shouldn’t have offended, it looks like he’s going to suffer a little.”
