Dust billowed up from the roadside as the car drove past. The three siblings looked at the food in their hands, their faces instantly falling.
Did driving a fancy car make them superior?
Jiang Yikuo's expression was grim, "My fried chicken, I hope it doesn't taste like dust."
Jiang Shaoqing was thankful that he had been continuously drinking soapy water.
Jiang Siyun looked at the lamb skewers in her hand, glad she had hidden them quickly!
Just as the three siblings were about to find someone to argue with, the car window slowly rolled down.
Jiang Yikuo, "...Holy crap, it's Ninth Master."
Jiang Shaoqing, "...Really!"
Jiang Siyun excitedly shouted, "Dad, why are you here?"
Mu Jiuchen looked at his three darlings, his icy expression finally softening, "My dears, get in the car."
The three siblings, still wearing their martial arts uniforms, got into the car without hesitation.
Jiang Siyun sat in the front passenger seat.
Jiang Shaoqing and Jiang Yikuo went to the back.
Jiang Yikuo saw his mother sleeping in Ninth Master's arms and his chicken leg lost its appeal.
He tossed the chicken leg behind him.
"What's wrong with my mom?"
Suddenly, outside the window.
"Ow! Who's so inconsiderate?"
Jiang Yikuo recognized the voice, turned, and saw Old Master Mu standing outside.
Jiang Yikuo, "...Great-Grandpa, why are you here?"
Mu Jiuchen was also surprised, what was his grandfather doing here?
Old Master Mu's eyes lit up when he saw his three great-grandchildren, even forgetting about Mu Jiuchen. He grinned from ear to ear, "Darlings, I came here to eat something delicious! How come you're all here?"
Jiang Yikuo told Jiang Shaoqing and Jiang Siyun, "This is Ninth Master's grandfather, call him Great-Grandpa."
The siblings spoke in unison, "Hello, Great-Grandpa!"
"Good, good, good." Old Master Mu was overjoyed, finally seeing all three of them.
"Grandpa, are you heading back?" Mu Jiuchen asked.
"Yes!" the Old Master replied curtly.
Mu Jiuchen looked at his grandfather, bewildered. He had only asked a question, why was there such a temper?
"You're always busy, busy, busy, and you don't even bring the children back to accompany me, an old man? I think you've completely forgotten about me." The Old Master was quite wronged, he had longed to see his great-grandchildren, he missed them dearly.
He had wanted to see the children for a long time, but his unfilial grandson was always nowhere to be found.
Mu Jiuchen instantly understood why he was angry.
Mu Jiuchen looked at the three children and said, "My dears, why don't you go and keep Great-Grandpa company tonight? Tomorrow morning, I'll bring your mother. She had a major surgery yesterday and was too tired to stay awake."
Jiang Yikuo glanced at his younger siblings. He actually felt that Great-Grandpa was quite pitiful.
Living in such a big house alone, with no one to talk to intimately.
Jiang Yichen nodded, then looked back at his Great-Grandpa, "Great-Grandpa, the three of us will go back with you. You won't mind if we're noisy, right?"
The Old Master's face lit up at these words. His gaze fell on Jiang Siyun's rosy little face, she was so adorable.
"No, no, no, how could Great-Grandpa mind if you're noisy? Great-Grandpa loves you all too much. Come, come, come, get out of the car, Great-Grandpa's car is here."
The three siblings quickly got out of the car and left with their Great-Grandpa.
Jiang Yichen also called Jiang Xingyu to inform him that he wouldn't be returning tonight.
Mu Jiuchen shook his head and chuckled, it was true that the older one gets, the younger they become.
Mu Jiuchen looked down at the person in his arms, who was still sleeping soundly.
Mu Jiuchen instructed the driver to head back.
As Mu Jiuchen carried Jiang Nuan back, Li Qingshuo was watching a variety show. He had been unwell recently, so he had been letting go and just letting himself eat when it was time to eat, sleep when it was time to sleep, and laugh when it was time to laugh. He had been living quite happily.
"Ah, Xiao Jiu, what's wrong with Nuan Nuan?"
Mu Jiuchen carried Jiang Nuan upstairs and said, "She fainted from exhaustion, she'll be fine after some rest."
Li Qingshuo heard this and felt a bit indignant for Jiang Nuan, "Mu Jiuchen, can you drive a little more gently at night? I know you have good stamina, but a woman's stamina is always inferior to a man's."
Mu Jiuchen paused, narrowed his eyes at Li Qingshuo, and said, "I'd love to be 'driving' with her at night, but do you think I have that opportunity right now?"
What was Li Qingshuo thinking?
Li Qingshuo was stunned, "Ah! I thought you had worn her out like this?"
Mu Jiuchen, "...Damn it, I wish I could, but I only dare to think about it."
He carried Jiang Nuan upstairs and put her to bed in her room.
After tucking her in, Mu Jiuchen felt a pang of heartache. He leaned down and kissed her forehead before getting up to shower.
When Jiang Nuan woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
She glanced around the room, it was familiar, it was Mu Jiuchen's room.
She slowly sat up and saw Mu Jiuchen sleeping on the sofa not far away.
Having experienced it once, Jiang Nuan was less shy the second time.
While Mu Jiuchen was asleep, she quickly went to the bathroom to wash up.
When Mu Jiuchen woke up and didn't see Jiang Nuan, he was startled.
"Nuan Nuan, Nuan Nuan." He jumped off the sofa, not even wearing his shoes.
Jiang Nuan also came out of the bathroom. Seeing how worried he was about her, her cold gaze softened considerably.
Mu Jiuchen was relieved when he saw her.
"Nuan Nuan, are you feeling better?" Mu Jiuchen looked at her, her complexion had improved, her pale lips had regained their fullness and color. She looked quite alluring this morning.
Jiang Nuan, "Mm! I'm better. Thank you for sending me back last night, but why did you bring me here? You should have sent me home."
Mu Jiuchen, "This is also your home."
Jiang Nuan's face flushed red, she retorted, "I... I haven't married you yet?"
Mu Jiuchen was stunned, his eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Nuan Nuan, I will marry you."
Jiang Nuan, "..."
She lowered her head and said, "I'm hungry."
"Alright, alright, let's go downstairs to eat. I've already made arrangements last night."
Mu Jiuchen quickly went to wash up.
Jiang Nuan thought about Li Qingshuo being here as well, so she decided to check on him. She found a casual outfit in the wardrobe and went to the next room.
A few minutes later, she went downstairs. Li Qingshuo had also woken up and was drinking water.
Seeing Jiang Nuan come down, he smiled happily.
"Good morning, Nuan Nuan."
"Morning!" Jiang Nuan replied, pointing to the sofa, inviting him to sit down.
Li Qingshuo naturally understood what she meant. He had been taking Jiang Nuan's medicine recently, but he was still worried.
Jiang Nuan took his pulse. After a while, she said, "It's not bad. Take another month of medicine to prevent metastasis. That will be 800,000 yuan. The medicinal ingredients are very expensive, and it might not be easy to find them."
"If you don't believe me, you can buy the medicinal ingredients yourself."
"No, no, no, I believe you." Li Qingshuo believed her one hundred percent.
Jiang Nuan smiled, "Transfer the money to me later, and I'll go prepare the medicinal ingredients in a couple of days."
"Okay, okay, Nuan Nuan, I'll transfer it to you later." Li Qingshuo wouldn't dare to buy the medicinal ingredients himself, for fear of being cheated and still having to count the money for them.
At this moment, Mu Jiuchen came down from upstairs and said, "Nuan Nuan, the hospital called."
