Jiang Nuan ignored him; she was still angry.
These scoundrels, they couldn't catch them, yet they were always scheming against them in secret.
She had to think of a way, to lure the tiger out of its den.
To capture them all in one fell swoop.
She detested this endless scheming.
Mu Jiuchen watched her not speak, and gently pulled her closer into his embrace.
He lowered his gaze, looking at the fair complexion of her face with a faint blush, incredibly alluring.
He lowered his head and passionately kissed her cheek.
Only then did Jiang Nuan lazily open her eyes, looking at him with a somewhat cold gaze.
Mu Jiuchen met her gaze quietly, his tone heavy, "Wife, you still don't trust me?"
"Hmph!" Jiang Nuan snorted coldly, "How do you expect me to trust you? If I had been a moment later, would you have been about to pounce on her?"
"No." His tone was resolute.
Jiang Nuan didn't believe him. She turned over and said softly, "Sleep, I'm very tired!"
Jiang Nuan somewhat disliked Mu Jiuchen's lack of restraint.
Even more so, she hated him being touched by other women.
Mu Jiuchen knew she was still angry, so he didn't speak.
He held her and they quietly drifted off to sleep.
The faint morning light!
A spring morning, the sunlight filled with warmth.
When Jiang Nuan opened her eyes, the room was warm and cozy, golden sunlight filling the space.
She glanced beside her; Mu Jiuchen was no longer there.
She slowly sat up, the discomfort in her waist making her frown slightly.
As soon as she was seated, she saw Mu Jiuchen walk in. The man was dressed in white clothes and white pants, his upright figure exuding less coldness and more handsome refinement.
Mu Jiuchen saw her complexion had improved greatly. He sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand, and asked gently with a smile, "Are you feeling any better?"
Jiang Nuan glanced at him faintly, then slowly looked out the window, "No, only more angry."
Her tone was much softer than last night.
Mu Jiuchen chuckled softly, holding her hand, knowing she wasn't as angry anymore. "Get up, go wash your face, and eat breakfast."
Jiang Nuan was indeed a bit hungry. She got out of bed to wash up, but lost her footing and nearly fell to the ground.
A strong arm instantly hooked around her waist, and she fell into a familiar embrace.
Mu Jiuchen looked at her with a half-smile, and whispered ambiguously in her ear, "Nuan Nuan, your stamina isn't what it used to be."
Jiang Nuan's fair face instantly turned red. She struggled forcefully and ran towards the bathroom.
This man was becoming more and more outrageous.
Jiang Nuan ran into the bathroom in one breath and looked at her clean and pretty face, which now had a faint blush. She sneered. She seemed to be quite good at preventing Mu Jiuchen from doing anything at night.
She scooped up some cold water and splashed it on her face. Then she felt her actions were a bit excessive, after all, he was her husband.
After washing up, she went directly to the dining room.
Mu Jiuchen had ordered a rich breakfast to be sent over early.
After Jiang Nuan sat down, he pushed the crystal dumplings in front of her, "Wife, the crystal dumplings you love to eat."
"Thank you!" Jiang Nuan picked up her chopsticks and lowered her head to eat breakfast.
Jiang Nuan didn't talk much when she ate.
Just as Mu Jiuchen was about to explain last night's events again, Jiang Nuan's phone vibrated.
Jiang Nuan opened her phone; it was a message from Meng Yuan.
[Nuan Nuan, someone is seducing my husband, it's making me so angry, I've decided to ignore He Mingrun for three days.]
Jiang Nuan: ...
This early in the morning, it was truly infuriating!
Jiang Nuan: [What happened? Don't overthink it, you can't get agitated. Those who want to leave can't be stopped, put your mind at ease.]
Meng Yuan: [Someone from his company. I'm pregnant now, and I'm always uneasy. He Mingrun hasn't done anything, and he's taking good care of me. But that woman is too much. For company matters, she even came to our house. In my house, she acted like the mistress, even ordering me, a pregnant woman, to pour her water. Isn't that infuriating?]
Jiang Nuan:!?
Jiang Nuan: [Didn't He Mingrun say anything?]
Meng Yuan: [He Mingrun kicked her out. She left crying. The next day, when I was home alone, she came over to declare her ownership, saying she would definitely get He Mingrun. These homewreckers nowadays are truly rampant.]
[I told her, don't dream, you'll only humiliate yourself in the end.]
Jiang Nuan felt like it was contagious among good sisters.
Jiang Nuan: [Isn't it good that she was kicked out? Take good care of your pregnancy, don't think too much.]
Meng Yuan: [Nuan Nuan, when are you coming back? I miss you.]
Jiang Nuan: [I'll be back the day after tomorrow, and I'll come to see you all then.]
Meng Yuan: [That's great, Nuan Nuan, you're finally coming back! It feels like time is passing so slowly without you!]
Jiang Nuan smiled. Meng Yuan's warm words always made her happy.
Mu Jiuchen waited until she finished chatting, then said, "Wife..."
Jiang Nuan looked at him, interrupting him, and smiled gently at him, "You don't need to explain anymore, I believe you. I just hate that you don't refuse women's hugs."
Mu Jiuchen looked at her deeply, "Next time, I'll definitely kick her away."
Jiang Nuan's mood, which had just improved, instantly soured, "You dare to have a next time?"
Mu Jiuchen quickly shook his head, obedient like a puppy.
"There won't be a next time." Jiang Nuan then picked up her chopsticks and continued eating other things.
Mu Jiuchen smiled. Her believing him instantly made his mood much better.
He picked up a chicken leg for her, "Wife, eat the chicken leg, this one is especially delicious."
"Mmm!" Jiang Nuan didn't refuse.
After breakfast, the two returned to the Lu family residence.
When they arrived at the entrance, they saw Chu Yunying standing there.
The meticulously dressed girl exuded a captivating aura.
Mu Jiuchen's expression turned cold when he saw Chu Yunying.
"Stop the car." Jiang Nuan said to him.
Mu Jiuchen stopped the car. Chu Yunying hurried over, looking at Mu Jiuchen in the car, "Brother Chen, are you alright?"
Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan got out of the car.
Chu Yunying glanced at Jiang Nuan, lowered her head, and sincerely apologized to Jiang Nuan, "Sister, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive that day."
Jiang Nuan had met shameless people, but she had never met anyone this shameless.
She gave her a cold glance, "You have a noble status and a good upbringing. I'm not qualified to accept your apology."
Chu Yunying: ...
Jiang Nuan looked at Mu Jiuchen, "She's your person, you deal with her yourself."
Jiang Nuan decided to wash her hands of it. These people were too annoying; she didn't want to argue right now.
Jiang Nuan slowly walked towards the villa.
Chu Yunying looked at the most expensive villa in Modu, with envy and jealousy.
No matter how much she insulted Jiang Nuan, it wouldn't change the fact that she was the true daughter of the Lu family.
But now, the most important thing was Mu Jiuchen. "Brother Chen..."
"Didn't I tell you to get lost? Why are you still in front of me?" Mu Jiuchen interrupted her coldly and ruthlessly.
Chu Yunying tearfully complained, "Brother Chen, everyone makes mistakes. I only just returned to the country and didn't understand anything, which is why I offended Sister. Please forgive me, you are my only family now." Without Mu Jiuchen, she was nothing.
Mu Jiuchen looked at her coldly, "Get lost yourself. This is the last bit of dignity I'm giving you."
