The next morning, Shen Mo woke up and looked in the mirror, and found a dark red kiss mark on his neck, which was left by Ji Mingxuan last night.

　　Last night… was really ridiculous…

　　He was so dazed at the end that he didn’t know how many times he had done it. When he went to the bathroom to take a shower, liquid flowed down his thighs as he walked.

　　And what Ji Mingxuan said last night still felt unreal to him.

　　Mr. Ji…actually likes him?

　　When did you fall in love with it?

　　Unfortunately, Ji Mingxuan avoided answering this question. Every time Shen Mo asked, he would use beauty to change the subject and show how much he liked him with his own actions.

　　Shen Mo later found a high-necked sweater to cover the kiss mark before going to work.

　　Ji Mingxuan really started to work from that day on, but he would go home to sleep no matter how late it was. The two of them had been together for so long that they didn’t seem to need any sweet words, but when Shen Mo woke up in the morning, he often found himself lying in Ji Mingxuan’s arms.

　　Ji Mingxuan’s secretary was very efficient and booked a flight abroad in no time. Shen Mo saw that it was another romantic island country, the rumored honeymoon destination. The hotel and other things had been arranged, so Shen Mo only had to find time to pack his luggage.

　　But he had just been relaxing for a few days when Ji An’an drafted him into the army. Ji An’an’s wedding date had been set, and many things had to be prepared. Ji Mingxuan was only responsible for paying the bills, and she didn’t have any close friends in China, so she had to find Shen Mo in the end.

　　It just so happens that Shen Mo has a car now, so it would be nice for him to be her driver.

　　After shopping, it was still early, so they went to the nearby Dynasty Hotel for afternoon tea. Ji Anan especially loved a dessert here, but Shen Mo thought it was too sweet, so he just ordered a cup of coffee.

　　It would be February in a few days. The two were chatting about traveling. Shen Mo occasionally looked up and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

　　She was a beautiful lady. Although she was not young, time seemed to have treated her well and did not leave many traces on her face. She was wearing a smoky grey dress and pearl jewelry of the same colour. She looked decent and generous. Zhou Yang’s younger brother Zhou Chu was smiling beside her.

　　Shen Mo’s hand holding the coffee cup froze instantly.

　　Seeing his expression, Ji Anan turned around and looked, and immediately said in surprise: “Hey, it’s Aunt Zhou. Why is Zhou Chu with her?”

　　Shen Mo said nothing.

　　He had also met this Madam Zhou at the engagement party, and knew that she came from a wealthy family, was scheming and resourceful, and even Zhou Yang’s father was a little afraid of her. Wasn’t it she who broke up him and Zhou Yang?

　　Ji Anan didn’t know the reason, so she stood up and said, “Let’s go over and say hello to Aunt Zhou.”

　　Shen Mo naturally refused. Although he and Zhou Yang had broken up a long time ago, he didn’t want to cause trouble at this time, so he turned aside and said, “I’m not familiar with your Aunt Zhou, so I’d better not join in the fun.”

　　Ji Anan muttered, “Aren’t we all a family from now on?”

　　But since Shen Mo was unwilling, she did not force him and walked over on her own.

　　Mrs. Zhou was obviously very satisfied with Ji An’an, her future daughter-in-law, and she took her hand warmly as soon as they met. After the two of them exchanged a few words, Mrs. Zhou simply took Ji An’an and walked forward.

　　Ji Anan quickly turned around and winked at Shen Mo. Shen Mo nodded knowingly and gestured that he would wait for her there.

　　With Mrs. Zhou’s status, she would not be too casual even when having afternoon tea, and soon someone led them into the VIP box.

　　Shen Mo continued to drink coffee outside alone.

　　The afternoon sun was so bright that it made people feel a little sleepy. Shen Mo flipped through a few magazines and saw a lot of travel-related content.

　　He had not been interested in these things originally, but this time, for some reason, he actually started to look up the guide seriously.

　　Is it because you want to go there with Mr. Ji?

　　Although Ji Mingxuan expressed his feelings, he was still confused. Was he also somewhat fond of him, or was he just used to this kind of relationship?

　　The strange thing is that Ji Mingxuan didn’t ask him.

　　Shen Mo found it funny. Although he was not a high school student anymore, he felt as nervous as when he first started dating.

　　But he did yearn for the beach under the moonlight. He even couldn’t help wondering if he should follow Zhou Yang’s example and lay a bed of roses in his room.

　　Just as he was thinking about this, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

　　There is a new text message coming in.

　　Shen Mo looked down and saw that it was Ji Anan who sent the message: Brother Shen, I’m feeling a little unwell and am resting in room 6018 upstairs. Please come over soon.

　

　　Shen Mo was startled and quickly stood up from his seat.

　　He remembered that Ji Mingxuan had mentioned several times that Ji Anan had been in poor health since childhood, and if she felt unwell, she must go to the hospital immediately. Ji Anan had a cheerful personality and did not look frail, but her complexion was indeed paler than that of ordinary people.

　　Shen Mo was worried about her situation, so he called her back while walking towards the elevator in the lobby.

　　But no one answered the phone.

　　Shen Mo pressed the elevator button and looked at the red numbers jumping on the display. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. Ji Anan entered the box with Mrs. Zhou. Now that she was unwell, she would naturally be taken care of by the Zhou family. Why was she in a hurry to call him over? Even if she regarded him as her own and could only feel at ease when she saw him, she could just call him directly. Why did she need to send a text message?

　　Shen Mo’s eyelids twitched, and he felt that this matter was full of weirdness. However, when the elevator arrived, he still stepped in, and then called Ji Mingxuan.

　　Ji Mingxuan truly loves his sister, and immediately said after hearing this: “I’ll be right over.”

　　It would take at least thirty minutes to get here from the company. He thought for a moment and said, “An An is with the Zhou family, nothing should happen to her. I’m only worried about her health… If something is wrong, call an ambulance.”

　　Shen Mo was startled when he heard this, wondering if Ji Anan’s health was so bad? Or was Ji Mingxuan just too concerned?

　　But he still answered: “Okay, I’ll contact Miss Ji first.”

　　After hanging up the phone, the elevator just reached the sixth floor.

　　Regardless of whether the text message was sent by Ji Anan or not, something must have happened to her. So Shen Mo didn’t think much about it and went straight to Room 6018. Knowing that Ji Mingxuan would arrive later, Shen Mo was confident enough to go and see first, regardless of any conspiracy.

　　He walked to the door of Room 6018 and found that it was ajar and there were faint noises coming from inside.

　　”An’an?”

　　Shen Mo called out, pushed the door open and walked in.

　　This room was a two-bedroom suite. The living room outside was empty, but a shirtless man walked out of the bedroom inside and asked, “Why did you take so long to get some clothes?”
