Chapter 638 - The Man Reached Out to Her, His Tone Gentle and Patient. Come Here.” (2/2)

The stairway was dark, although there was a sensor light above. But she sat still there all night, so the light wasn’t on.

Before Ji Nuan heard any sound, she saw the light suddenly was on. She, holding her knees and sitting on the stair, paused and turned to look, only to see the man in the white shirt and black trousers standing at the top of the stairs, with one hand in the trouser pocket and looking down at her with deep, dark eyes.

She froze.

The man stood there and looked deadpan at her who was sitting on the stair and holding her knees. His tone was emotionless. “Have you been sitting here all night? How is the air in the staircase?”

Ji Nuan: “…”

She rose suddenly, but her legs went numb from sitting there so long. It was as if a sharp electric current was running through her legs and feet, and she had to lean against the wall to regain her footing.

Seeing her stumble, Mo Jingshen was about to go up to support her, but then seeing her lean against the wall, he stopped and looked at her black hoodie and the oversized hood on her back. Now he could guess how she got here last night.

He tried to keep himself from laughing and remained expressionless. At least in Ji Nuan’s eyes, Mo Jingshen was poker-faced.

“How did you know I was here?” Ji Nuan waited until the pain in her legs and feet had gone before she looked up at the man

Mo Jingshen glanced at her. “I don’t have X-ray vision, so I didn’t know you were sitting outside my office the whole night. Shen Mu came to work just now and asked me about you when he didn’t see you. Then I knew you were here.”

Ji Nuan pursed her lips. “Am I bothering you?”

She came to ask him for help, but she hesitated as if she was afraid to disturb him. Seeing her so polite to him and trying to distance herself from him, Mo Jingshen looked at her quietly for a while and then said, “How can you bother me since you didn’t even go to my office?”

Mo Jingshen was very intelligent. He had guessed why she came here.

Ji Nuan stood for a moment against the wall. Since she had come here, there was nothing to hide. She slowly clenched her fist, thought for a while and finally spoke.

“In fact, I had been thinking about whether I should turn to you for help, but I don’t want to get you into trouble. The people who are scolding me online are also scolding you. I must have caused you big trouble,” Ji Nuan said lightly.”Mo Jingshen, I don’t think I can get through this.”

“They are just gossiping. Don’t take it seriously. Just ignore them!”

“But I don’t have any evidence to prove my innocence. Even if I try to defend myself, no one will believe me, but if things go on like this, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay in Hai City.”

“You don’t have to defend yourself.” Mo Jingshen smiled. “Everything happens for a reason. There’s no need to panic. Just find the one behind this scandal, and the problem will be solved.”

Ji Nuan paused. “What do you mean?”

The man reached out to her, his tone gentle and patient. “Come here.”
