Mu Jiu Chen held her hand and smiled, "I suspect Mu Yi Chen."
"I suspect him too."
Jiang Nuan thought for a moment and said, "Now that Yan Xi is dead, the only people he can use are Su Wan Ting and Jiang Yu Xin. Once these two make a move, we'll know if it's him?"
She also had her own plans.
"Mm!" Mu Jiu Chen led her back to their room.
As they passed their daughter's room, the door was ajar. She saw her placing money on the bedside table.
She was lying on the bed, swinging her little feet, talking on the phone to someone, smiling happily.
The couple stopped and heard the little girl's crisp voice, "Xiao Ze Ye, I won a lot of pocket money tonight. I'm having a very happy New Year."
Mu Jiu Chen felt a pang. Why was this Xiao Ze Ye always lingering around his little princess?
Mu Jiu Chen wanted to go in, but Jiang Nuan stopped him.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her in confusion and said, "That kid will abduct our little princess."
Jiang Nuan was a bit speechless. Their daughter was still so young!
Why was he in such a hurry?
She pulled him back to their room. The moment the door closed, Mu Jiu Chen said, "Wife, why are you pulling me? I'm going to talk to Yun Yun and tell her to protect herself."
Jiang Nuan looked at his angry expression and felt helpless. "The children will handle their own affairs. Don't interfere too much. They know what they're doing. What you're worried about won't happen."
Mu Jiu Chen squeezed her hand tightly. "Wife, when we start to worry, it'll be too late. Xiao Ze Ye graduates from university this year, and he's 12 years old."
"Oh!" Jiang Nuan was surprised. "That amazing?"
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her lost in thought and felt frustrated. Nuan Nuan only saw how amazing Xiao Ze Ye was, didn't she see anything else?
That kid has ill intentions!
"Alright, you go take a bath, and after you're done, get some rest. Don't overthink things. Our daughter is still very young, and what you're worried about won't happen. If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Ze Ye won't be in the country. He might go abroad for further studies, or to our country's top universities. They'll have very few opportunities to meet."
Mu Jiu Chen was relieved when he heard this.
He suddenly swept Jiang Nuan into his arms, a suggestive smile on his face. "Our daughter's matters are settled, so my matters are for us to bathe together."
Jiang Nuan glanced at him shyly. "I refuse."
Mu Jiu Chen chuckled softly. "Rejection is invalid."
"You scoundrel," Jiang Nuan lightly hit his shoulder.
Mu Jiu Chen feigned pain. "You heartless girl, it hurts so much. Are you trying to murder your husband?"
Jiang Nuan stopped immediately. Although she knew he was faking it, she still felt concerned for him.
"Where does it hurt? Let me see." Jiang Nuan fumbled around his chest.
Mu Jiu Chen took a deep breath. Her touch felt like a tickle, making it difficult for him to control himself.
The air instantly became hot and heavy. Jiang Nuan looked at the desire in his eyes, her own gaze flickered, she glanced at him, and then actively wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Husband, you're really, really bad!" Jiang Nuan couldn't help but complain.
Mu Jiu Chen said righteously, "Don't women often say that men who aren't bad aren't loved by women?"
"Tsk! I don't have that kind of idea," Jiang Nuan glared at him impatiently.
Mu Jiu Chen chuckled, "Hehe…" and placed her in the bathtub. As expected, this bath would likely take at least an hour.
The cold wind howled, but the temperature in the bathroom rose steadily.
Mu Jiu Chen couldn't do anything about it. Jiang Nuan was afraid of the cold, and she really liked the heater lamp in the bathroom; it was very warm.
...
The next day!
The sun was shining brightly!
Jiang Nuan woke up early. She glanced at the spot beside her and saw that Mu Jiu Chen had already gotten up. She sleepily picked up her phone from the bedside table to check the time.
Eight in the morning!
There was still enough time to get up and make breakfast.
She quickly got out of bed, washed up, and went downstairs to make breakfast.
But when she went downstairs, she saw Mu Jiu Chen busy in the kitchen. She was quite surprised and walked in, leaning against the doorframe, watching him with a smile. "Why are you so diligent today?"
Mu Jiu Chen looked up at her and smiled gently. "I wanted to make breakfast for you, so I got up and made it. Go call Yun Yun; breakfast will be ready soon."
Jiang Nuan saw that he was doing a good job and turned to go upstairs to call Yun Yun for breakfast.
As she was about to go upstairs, she saw Yun Yun coming down. Although it wasn't snowing anymore, the weather was still very cold.
The little one was wrapped up tightly, wearing blue jeans, a pink down jacket, and a pink hat. Her small face instantly looked refined and beautiful.
Jiang Nuan smiled. Yun Yun looked just like she did when she was little.
"Have you washed your face yet?" Jiang Nuan asked with a smile.
"No," Jiang Si Yun shook her head slightly. "Mommy, I'll wash it downstairs."
Jiang Nuan frowned, seeing that she hadn't slept enough. She was probably too excited from winning money last night to sleep well.
"You," Jiang Nuan helplessly pulled her towards the bathroom.
Seeing that her long hair was a little oily, she helped Yun Yun wash her hair. After drying her hair, the little girl immediately perked up.
Jiang Nuan looked at her daughter's long, flowing hair, black and shiny. It was beautiful!
"Huh! Uncle, when did you get here?" Jiang Si Yun saw Lu Jin Yue standing in the hall and happily ran over.
"Yun Yun, my little darling, it's been a month since we last saw each other, and you've grown taller again." Lu Jin Yue squatted down to hug his niece. He hugged her tightly, but inadvertently, they both fell backward onto the ground.
Jiang Nuan, who was following behind, let out a speechless sound.
"Ouch! Uncle, you can't carry me anymore. I'm almost 80 jin now."
She had gained a lot of weight this winter.
Lu Jin Yue refused to admit he couldn't carry her. He stood up with a displeased expression and said, "Yun Yun, Uncle just lost his balance!"
So embarrassing...!
Yun Yun looked at him disdainfully.
Yun Yun, who had stood up, silently glanced at him without saying much. It was clear he just couldn't carry her!
The adult world was very complicated!
"Brother, where did you go last night? Why didn't you come over?"
Jiang Nuan guessed that he might have been on a date with Yu Han.
A hint of awkwardness flashed across Lu Jin Yue's face. His beautifully drawn eyebrows were full of smiles as he explained, "I took Han Han out for some good food last night and then sent her back. I have an apartment here too, but I don't come often. Last night, I stayed at my apartment."
Jiang Nuan saw his blushing and embarrassed expression and didn't say anything further.
"Let's eat breakfast first."
"Oh!" Lu Jin Yue held Yun Yun's little hand and asked as they walked, "Yun Yun, why aren't you going to Modu? Your grandparents miss you dearly."
Jiang Si Yun replied with a smile, "Uncle, I miss Grandma and Grandpa too, and I miss Great Grandpa. I miss all of you. We're planning to go the day after tomorrow."
"Alright then, you guys go ahead. I'm on vacation and want to relax outside." Lu Jin Yue didn't want to leave. Dating the woman he liked felt completely different.
Jiang Si Yun: "Oh! Then we'll go first."
"Ding dong..."
"Huh! Who's here so early? I'll go open the door."
Jiang Si Yun said, then turned and went to open the door with a smile.
