He was tall, standing before Meng Yuan, almost completely shrouding her slender figure, making Meng Yuan appear somewhat like a delicate bird relying on him.
The man’s amber eyes were filled with laughter, the smile on his lips seeming both nervous and unable to suppress his joy.
Meng Yuan looked at him in surprise, speechless. At this moment, He Mingrun was incredibly radiant, like the rising sun, warming her entire being.
“Yuan Yuan, I heard the girls say that eating candy can improve one’s mood. I hope you can forget the past and start anew. There are many good men in the world.” Da Feng Novels
Like me!
Meng Yuan, won’t you look up at me too?
I am definitely a good man.
Meng Yuan suddenly remembered what Little Koi had said, “Aunt Meng, if you meet someone who offers you candy tonight, fall in love with them.”
Uh…??
Has this Little Koi developed precognitive abilities now?
How did her words come true so quickly?
Meng Yuan’s thoughts went astray, her face flushing. She chuckled softly, “Thank you, Young Master He. Although they aren’t real roses, it’s the first time a man has given me roses, and such meaningful ones at that. Thank you so much, I will take good care of them.”
Having one’s feelings cherished by another was the greatest joy.
Immediately after, He Mingrun transferred five million to Meng Yuan.
As he watched the money transfer, his smile turned somewhat cunning; he knew how to play the game of wooing a wife.
Meng Yuan looked down, surprised, “Why is there an extra two hundred thousand?”
He Mingrun: “To buy you candy!”
Meng Yuan: “How can that be? I’ll return it to you.”
She didn’t want to take advantage of him.
Like Jiang Nuan, she liked money, but she never earned it this way.
He Mingrun stopped her with a smile, saying, “Yuan Yuan, I know your technical skills. In the future, you can handle our company’s firewall and the technology department. This is my sincere offer of employment.”
Speaking of which, this strategy was learned from Mu Jiuchen.
Now he finally understood why Mu Jiuchen wanted to transfer Jiang Nuan to be his tea-serving assistant; proximity truly does foster affection!
Although he knew about him and Jiang Nuan, Jiang Nuan obviously didn't know that Mu Jiuchen was the father of the child. He decided not to pry, as some things were better left unknown, as it could easily lead to trouble.
Mu Jiuchen was not someone to be trifled with!
When angered, he didn’t spare even his own father.
Meng Yuan was stunned again. Such a good opportunity had come knocking on her door, it was truly like a pie falling from the sky.
Meng Yuan happily agreed.
He Mingrun couldn’t hide his smile, chuckling incessantly.
It was as if he was boasting, “My strategy succeeded, and I can already smell the scent of love.”
Meng Yuan did not let He Mingrun drive her home; she drove herself back.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Jiang Nuan sitting in the living room with disheveled hair, eating noodles.
Beef noodles were Jiang Nuan’s favorite, and she always had braised beef stewed in the refrigerator.
Jiang Nuan looked up and saw the roses in Meng Yuan’s hand, and she spoke in surprise.
“Heh heh… did your scumbag boyfriend finally give you roses for once?”
Meng Yuan: “……”
She walked a few steps further, looking at Jiang Nuan, and sat opposite her, quietly observing.
Jiang Nuan immediately recognized that her expression was not right, “Did you break up?”
Meng Yuan: “How did you know?”
Jiang Nuan: “Your expression gave you away!”
Meng Yuan touched her face, “Is it that obvious?”
“Very obvious. Shucheng, that man, I told you from the beginning that he wasn’t a good man, but you insisted on believing in the shared hardships from novels. Now, look, your best friend doesn’t have to worry about you anymore.” After speaking, Jiang Nuan lowered her head and slurped a mouthful of noodles, eating with a satisfied expression.
Meng Yuan: “……” Looking at her like this, she wasn't entirely a “plastic” friend.
“So, who hasn’t encountered a few scumbags in their youth? I just made a common mistake. After this lesson, I will definitely be able to discern people wisely in the future.”
Jiang Nuan suddenly put down her chopsticks and asked, “Honestly, how much did you get scammed for?”
“Hey! Jiang Nuan, aren’t you going to comfort me a little?”
Jiang Nuan squinted at her, “Getting your money back is your greatest comfort, and you didn’t love Shucheng that much anyway. If you had fallen completely for him, I would have pulled you back by now.”
“The reason I didn’t intervene was because I knew you wouldn’t turn back until you hit a brick wall.”
Meng Yuan: “…… I take back what I said about you being a plastic friend; you truly understand me.”
Jiang Nuan: “So, did you take my three darlings out to catch him cheating today?”
Meng Yuan nodded, “I got the five million back. I set a trap for Shucheng. Since he dared to scam my money to buy a house for that little green tea, he should be prepared for my retaliation.”
Jiang Nuan gave her a thumbs-up, “You’ve got spirit! I like your decisive personality. Go wash up and sleep; you’ll forget everything after a good night’s sleep.”
Jiang Nuan patted her shoulder and continued eating her noodles.
Meng Yuan stretched her neck and asked, “Aren’t you going to ask me where these candy roses came from?”
Jiang Nuan smiled charmingly, “No, I’ll leave some room for your imagination. After all, you don’t get to date easily.”
Meng Yuan felt mortified and walked upstairs with the candy roses.
Jiang Nuan watched her retreating figure, narrowed her eyes, those were famous Shana candies.
“Yuan Yuan, you have a lot of candies in your arms, hold them tight.”
Meng Yuan stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
She silently turned her head and asked, “How much are they worth?”
Jiang Nuan looked at her completely oblivious state and smiled, “They’re very expensive. Whoever gave you these candies must truly care about you.”
Meng Yuan: “……” She wished she had never asked; this answer was too obscure and difficult to comprehend.
She directly rushed back to her room.
Jiang Nuan smiled at her retreating back and said nothing.
“Ding dong…” Jiang Nuan looked down; it was a message from Yun Xia.
[Nuan Nuan, Jiang Xingyu is back in the country.]
Jiang Nuan: [Okay, Xia Xia, I got it.]
Yun Xia: [Be safe. I’ll be back after my jewelry exhibition. Also, Yan Xi is back, have you seen her? She’s engaged to the eldest young master of the Gu family.]
Jiang Nuan: [I saw the news.]
Yun Xia: [She met Gu Jinyue abroad, and then they returned together. Given Yan Xi’s habit of fishing for wealthy husbands, that honest Gu Jinyue is probably being conned.]
Jiang Nuan: [I’ll check on her matter when I have time.]
Yun Xia: [Mmm! Okay, I’m going to be busy now.]
Jiang Nuan: [Okay!]
Putting down her phone, Jiang Nuan went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
After washing the dishes and coming out, she glanced at the live streams of the three little ones. She wouldn’t have known if she hadn’t looked, but when she did, she was shocked.
This was only their second live stream, how could it be so popular?
Especially Little Koi, who had already climbed to first place.
Little Black Belly was fifth, and Little Fox was sixth.
Jiang Nuan’s tail wagged with pride; her babies were truly amazing!
On the other side, He Mingrun happily returned to the He family. Just as he was about to check on his brother, he heard his brother’s frantic screams of “Ahhh…” at his door.
