All eyes turned towards the source of the voice upon hearing the name Mu Jiuchen.
Lin Su shyly pursed her lips, smiling radiantly at Mu Jiuchen.
"Brother Chen," Lin Su called out shyly.
A man walked from the crowd, dressed in a black suit, his posture tall and commanding, dazzlingly eye-catching.
His features were perfect, his expression serene, his every movement captivating to the extreme.
Everyone's gaze was fixed upon him.
Jiang Nuan: "..." Attractive to everyone!
Mu Jiuchen, as expected of you!
"Brother Chen," Lin Su said, her voice melodious as she approached Mu Jiuchen.
Everyone was anticipating a display of affection between the couple.
However, Mu Jiuchen abruptly stopped, his gaze falling indifferently upon her. "Who are you?"
The onlookers waiting for the public display of affection: "..."
Legend had it that these two were a couple?
Lin Su was also taken aback. Brother Chen didn't recognize her. How could he be so "deliberate"?
Mu Jiuchen, who genuinely didn't recognize her: "..."
Mu Jiuchen paid no mind to the reactions of those around him, his gaze settling on Jiang Nuan, who appeared somewhat detached.
"Little assistant, aren't you coming over?"
Jiang Nuan blinked, taking a step back as if avoiding a plague. She felt a hidden agenda behind this address of "little assistant."
Seeing her retreat, Mu Jiuchen felt, well, a little hurt.
Mu Jiuchen strode forward, and Jiang Nuan, with a wary expression, took another step back.
As Jiang Nuan retreated further, her defensive gaze seemed to tell Mu Jiuchen, If you're sick, don't come to me. I'm not a veterinarian.
Mu Jiuchen looked at the table behind her. She had nowhere else to retreat. He lowered his voice, "Little assistant, don't forget, you owe me a lot of money."
Jiang Nuan: "..." Well, this man was truly shameless.
Recalling the money she owed, Jiang Nuan finally managed to force a smile. "One day, your sharp edges will be smoothed out by this world. You'll shed your thorns and learn to smile at people you dislike."
Jiang Nuan forced a smile, "Sir, I was busy just now."
"Mm! Serve me food."
Jiang Nuan: "..." Serve your ancestor, you really know how to boost your own ego.
Xiao Fan: "..." Master, a master, a master among masters.
This brilliant move was truly "sending charcoal in the snow."
Jiang Nuan silently followed Mu Jiuchen.
Meng Yuan watched from the side, utterly bewildered. Had she missed something?
Lin Su watched their retreating backs, suppressing all the jealousy in her heart, wishing she could tear Jiang Nuan apart.
Jiang Shuo and Jiang Qing were stunned. When did Jiang Nuan get acquainted with such a god-like figure?
Meng Yuan opened her phone and went to the group chat: [Babies, what are you all doing?]
Jiang Yukuo: [Drawing.]
Jiang Shaoqing: [Playing games.]
Jiang Yichen: [This little one is contemplating life.]
Meng Yuan: [Stop contemplating life and think about what it would be like if you had a father?]
The triplets: Rolled their eyes in unison.
Jiang Yukuo: [Auntie Meng, did you take your medicine before going out?]
Meng Yuan blinked. This brat was calling her crazy!
No, why should she take it personally?
She raised her eyes. A woman in red flashed before her eyes.
Damn it, she almost became mentally deficient and forgot the main objective.
The brain, what a troublesome thing, always making her forget things?
She quickly sent Jiang Nuan a message: [The target has appeared.]
Then, she followed.
In the private room, Jiang Nuan received Meng Yuan's message. She looked up, then glanced quickly at the gentleman eating with elegant manners. She grinned, "Sir, I have constipation. I need to go to the restroom."
Mu Jiuchen, who was in the process of picking up a piece of pork rib, dropped it back into the plate with a *pat*.
Jiang Nuan, having won this round, left the private room with an elegant stride, a triumphant smile on her face.
