Since he asked her to rest, she would rest. Ji Nuan decided to head to the hospital to receive Xia Tian who was about to be discharged.
However, because her hands could not carry anything, she received a big eye roll from Xia Tian.
“What’s the use of having you around!”
Ji Nuan had already found accommodations for Xia Tian near the studio. After all, Xia Tian was coming purely to assist her, and she did not ask for any payment. Although this Xia family’s young lady had left her family, she did not lack in money at all. The only thing Ji Nuan could do for her was to arrange everything to keep her from constantly moving while her leg was still in recovery.
As they drove toward Xia Tian’s new pace, Xia Tian kept nagging, “Say, you managed to hurt your hand to this degree even while receiving a package. How can your family’s Mo Jingshen’s heart not ache?”
“Even if his heart aches, what can he do. I’m really to be blamed for being so careless.” Ji Nuan recalled that yesterday, Qin Siting had said her palms only needed to be bandaged for one day. Afterward, she only had to apply the medication regularly. Thus, she slowly struggled to untie the bandage while summarizing yesterday’s incident to Xia Tian.
After listening to her, Xia Tian first remained quiet because the taxi driver was also present. After alighting, she asked the person helping her with her luggage to head in first. She stood outside to ask Ji Nuan, “This package was clearly sent by a love rival, meant to scare you off! Who has the guts to send such a thing to your studio? Aren’t they openly issuing a challenge?”
While speaking, Xia Tian faced Ji Nuan head-on. “Aside from that An Shuyan, do you know what other love rivals you have?”
The topic was brought onto the two words, ‘love rival.’ Ji Nuan could not help but think deeply.
“Since its a package from America, it should be unrelated to Ji Mengran. As for America’s side…” Ji Nuan hesitated for a moment. “Aside from An Shuyan, I really don’t know who else there can be…”
Xia Tian appeared clearly impatient with her. “How can you not know who is staring at the piece of meat that is your husband?”
“…”
“Has Mo Jingshen ever had any other women within or outside of the country; do you at least know that?”
“I’m not too sure. I’ve only heard some rumors, but I can’t confirm if they are true.”
Xia Tian rolled her eyes toward the sky. “You don’t even know such a thing. Nuan Nuan, exactly how at ease are you with him? Mo Jingshen is a rare, high-quality man. How many women are staying at home, hoping to sleep with him? You’re not even going to guard him a little?”
“But I trust him.”
“What fart’s use does trust have! Right now, this love rival has already thrown a knife at you. This time it’s a dismembered doll dressed in a wedding gown and covered in blades clearly meant to frighten and curse you! Next time, who knows what it will be! You have to investigate this thoroughly. Mo Jingshen once stayed in America for a long period, and An Shuyan was only a suitable woman his father forcefully arranged for him. He might not take her seriously, but does that mean he has never had any other women or other women who are watching him like a tiger watches its prey?! A doll dressed in a wedding gown is clearly meant to represent the deep resentment against your marriage! If this isn’t a love rival provoking you, what else can it be?”
“All right, all right. Quickly go in. You’re giving me goosebumps.”
Xia Tian refused to go in, standing outside the door to continue. “No matter how well Mo Jingshen treats you, he is still a mature man. It cannot be that he has never even had a first love before you, right?”
“… I don’t know.”
Xia Tian was almost driven mad by her. “Nuan Nuan, let me tell you. If your heart remains so generous, in the future, you won’t even know if a woman directly charged into his bed! From the start, Mo Jingshen was Hai Cheng’s, and in fact, the country’s most idolized male god chased by numerous unattached young women! Right now, he is Mo Corporation’s CEO and Mo family’s only grandson. If he heads to America to inherit Shine in the future, there’ll be even more women throwing themselves at him. If you don’t quickly guard him, you won’t be able to chase those women away in the future even if you wave a flyswatter in front of him!”
Ji Nuan: “…”
“You’ve always held a grudge against this marriage. That was in the past. Now, since you intend to live well with Mo Jingshen, you have to have a good understanding of his past. Otherwise, what will you do if this situation repeats itself? You love rival has already sent such a thing over to taunt you, yet you don’t even know who the other party is. Your enemy is hidden from your sight, which means you’re on the losing end!” Xia Tian tugged on her earnestly.
Ji Nuan pulled Xia Tian toward the residence. “I’ve known from the start that there are many women who like him. Don’t even mention America. Just in Hai Cheng alone, there are several thousands of wealthy young ladies who are unhappy with me, who can’t wait for me to disappear completely.”
“But someone who would come to frighten you so openly is obviously not simple! I know Mo Jingshen is very indulgent toward you. Is your sex life going well?” Xia Tian suddenly asked.
Ji Nuan pursed her lips.
“Aiya, forget it. Even though your hands are injured, your smile and your reddened cheeks clearly show you’ve been well-loved. From the way I see it, Mo Jingshen is truly very dedicated to you. Any other woman who wants to possess Mo Jingshen would definitely be extremely jealous and driven mad for sure. They deserve it, having thoughts about someone else’s husband. What one does, God watches!”
“Nuan Nuan, you have to remember this. Mo Jingshen is yours now, but there are too many people who wish to take away this piece of meat. You have to hold onto him tightly. Don’t lose him.”
Ji Nuan rolled her eyes. “Aren’t I doing well right now. Why are you already mourning?”
“I’m reminding you! Watch out, or you won’t even know when your meat is taken away!”
“…”

Three days later, Ji Nuan’s hands were healed. Aside from the two deeper cuts on her palms that had to avoid contact with water, her hands could basically move normally. Only the skin on her palm needed more time to recover.
The professor on T University’s side would begin his class next week. Ji Nuan needed first to return to the Ji home and settle Shen Heru’s issue.
In her past life, she was unable to prevent her father from passing away from organ failure. In this life, she definitely could not allow Shen Heru’s scheme to succeed.
Early on, Ji Nuan gave a call to Ji Hongwen to inform him that she would visit. When she came by in the evening, she saw Ji Mengran standing by the living room entrance displaying an aggressive stance.
As she met Ji Mengran’s gaze, Ji Nuan’s expression was composed. Only Ji Mengran was filled with anger. Her agitation drove her to block Ji Nuan’s path abruptly. “Ji Nuan! You actually have the guts to return to the Ji family! What exactly are your intentions? The last time you threw me in such a place and almost cost me my life! You’re clearly hiding malicious thoughts! Now you’ve run back to pretend to be a good person in front of Dad again? Showing one face in front of him and another behind him, how can you be so disgusting!”
“One face in front of him, and another behind him?” Ji Nuan returned Ji Mengran’s accusing and hateful gaze and chuckled. “Are you sure you’re not talking about yourself?”
