Jiang Nuan was happy to see Jiang Nuan happy.
He only slept for an hour before getting up to make the roast lamb. He stayed by his side, wanting Jiang Nuan to have the fastest dining experience.
He also made a vegetable salad, which Jiang Nuan ate a lot of.
"Yifan, I'm very full. I want to go for a walk." Jiang Nuan stood up, looking at the man with elegant eating habits. Compared to her, she was very rude. Her grandmother used to say that she was wild and could not learn to be gentle.
She never learned it afterwards. Living as she pleased was freedom. She wanted to live like this. When she met Mu Jiuchen, she also indulged in his indulgence.
She patted her round belly, full and smiling contentedly.
Han Yifan happened to see her smile, as bright as the night.
He also put down the knife in his hand, and the servant brought water to wash his hands. He quickly washed his hands.
Looking at Jiang Nuan, "Nuannuan! I'll accompany you."
"Okay!" Jiang Nuan had no objections.
Han Yifan took her for three laps around the backyard.
Perhaps it was fate, both of them were studying medicine, and they got along very well.
Back in the living room, the time pointed to eleven o'clock. It was time to sleep.
She stood at the top of the stairs, looking at the gentle and jade-like Han Yifan, and smiled, "Yifan, thank you today. Good night!"
Han Yifan looked at her. Seeing her being so polite, he squinted his eyes slightly. "Nuannuan, we are friends. You don't need to thank me. It's all my duty. In ten days, I will also study with you."
Jiang Nuan did not find it strange when she heard this. As the great-grandson of Old Wang and the inheritor of his legacy, they would learn from each other.
"Okay!" Jiang Nuan didn't think much of it and turned to go upstairs to rest.
Han Yifan watched her back disappear around the corner of the stairs before slowly retracting his gaze.
He turned around and sat on the sofa. His assistant sent him a message, [Young Master, Jiang Nuan is the same age as the young master, has three children, and has been partnering with N for several years. Her boyfriend is the super-rich Mu Jiuchen, who also has businesses in Qi country and can walk sideways in half of Asia. Young Master, you have met Mu Jiuchen.]
Han Yifan smiled faintly. How could he have not met him...?
He sent another message, [Prepare these things.]
[Okay, Young Master!]
Han Yifan then went upstairs to rest.
Having slept for several hours in the evening, Jiang Nuan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She missed Mu Jiuchen.
When she thought of that man desperately searching for her, she felt immense heartache.
It was like being pricked by needles, spreading bit by bit throughout her body, densely. Was this what heartache felt like?
She tossed and turned several times but still couldn't fall asleep. Jiang Nuan sat up in frustration.
She picked up her phone and saw that she had been lying in bed for an hour. It was already one o'clock.
She wanted to send Mu Jiuchen a message but was afraid he was already asleep at this hour.
She lay down again and continued counting stars. Since she had decided to stay and study, she couldn't let him disturb her. This was a rare opportunity.
Mu Jiuchen was actually not asleep. He had been sleeping a lot these past two days and couldn't fall asleep. He sat on the balcony, drinking, his muscular figure filled with loneliness. Even a strong man was fragile and vulnerable in the face of love.
He had finished a bottle of whiskey but still felt no sleepiness.
The strong smell of alcohol couldn't mask his longing.
He felt like he was drinking not alcohol, but loneliness and solitude.
Mu Jiuchen looked at the night sky and smiled. A fleeting moment, still dazzling.
The autumn night was getting cooler. When Nuannuan returns, it will be snowing heavily in Jinshi. Sitting here watching the snowscape will be very beautiful!
He had even planned the posture in which he would hold her. His balcony was very large and could accommodate many things.
Mu Jiuchen smiled as he thought about it. Three months had passed by one day, but he still felt time was very long.
He glanced at the garden in front of him, feeling that it wasn't beautiful enough. The room was also large enough. It would be even better to knock through the adjacent room to make it Nuannuan's walk-in closet. The three little ones would live on the third floor.
Mu Jiuchen felt that it wasn't enough to live in. He glanced to the right, which was also his land. Why not build another two-story villa there? He and Nuannuan would live there, and they wouldn't have to worry about anything in their world of two. The children would live here.
Mu Jiuchen smiled, thinking this was a good idea.
Jiang Nuan woke up without dreaming, it was already past nine o'clock.
She thought that she couldn't waste time today and wanted to go out. After washing up, she put on the clothes she brought, a white shirt and black pants, which made her legs look straighter and gave her a cold, yet approachable aura.
When she went downstairs, Han Yifan was standing at the top of the stairs. Looking at her comfortable attire, compared to the fairy dress from last night, this Jiang Nuan was even more charming. His gentle gaze narrowed slightly, and when he looked at Jiang Nuan, his eyes were filled with undisguised tenderness.
"Nuannuan, you're awake." His voice was pleasant, as if a warm layer was wrapped around her.
Jiang Nuan felt something subtle and smiled at him. "Yifan, I want to go out by myself today."
Han Yifan's eyes flickered, and he asked with a smile, "Don't you need me to accompany you?"
"No, I know you're busy too. If you have time, you can pick me up at Saya Square later."
Jiang Nuan walked up to him. Han Yifan was a head taller than her, casting a shadow over her slender figure. His impossibly long legs were straight and desirable.
Jiang Nuan had always liked handsome men, but after meeting Mu Jiuchen, very few men could catch her eye.
"Okay, after breakfast, I'll give you a ride there."
Jiang Nuan did not refuse. After having breakfast with Han Yifan, she also hitched a ride to the city center.
On both sides of the streets in Qi country, there were ancient plane trees. They were still as green as jade in autumn. The car drove under them, and the mottled sunlight shone through, creating another kind of scenery.
Han Yifan kept paying attention to Jiang Nuan's expression. He could feel her happiness.
"You really like it here. Aren't you planning to stay?"
Han Yifan's sudden question made Jiang Nuan turn to look at him. She smiled and said, "My children and lover are all in Jinshi. I'll go back after three months."
Han Yifan's gaze darkened, and he said nothing more.
The atmosphere in the car seemed to become oppressive all of a sudden. Although Han Yifan was smiling, his smile was different from yesterday's.
Jiang Nuan found it a bit strange. Was the Han Yifan she saw yesterday and the Han Yifan she saw today not the same person?
Jiang Nuan was startled by this thought, but the Han Yifan of yesterday and the Han Yifan of today seemed a bit different.
Soon, they arrived at the city center. In front of the square, Han Yifan smiled brightly at Jiang Nuan. "Nuannuan, we're here. I'll come to pick you up at five o'clock to go home for dinner."
"Okay, thank you!" Jiang Nuan looked at his spring breeze-like smile and felt that what she had seen before was an illusion.
Han Yifan watched Jiang Nuan leave before driving away, his smile deepening.
Jiang Nuan didn't think about Han Yifan anymore. She walked towards the center of the square. There were many people in the square, and someone was playing the guqin. Many people stopped to watch. Jiang Nuan liked this kind of leisurely life. She walked over with a smile, and suddenly, a scream came from the crowd, "Someone's robbing! Catch the thief!"
