The three little ones slept soundly, so Jiang Nuan didn't have to worry about them waking up in the middle of the night.
They had played hard during the day and snuck some drinks, so they would likely sleep until past nine in the morning.
She rarely had time to take them out to play, and this time, she could see the three children were truly happy.
Returning to her room, Jiang Nuan went to the bathroom to freshen up. After she came out, she climbed into the soft, large bed, wanting a good night's sleep. She was busy every day!
Mu Jiu Chen also quickly finished his routine and came out of the bathroom wearing only a bathrobe, revealing his sexy abdominal muscles, alluring and captivating.
He sat beside Jiang Nuan. She shyly lowered her head, unable to look at him. His cool, distant aura washed over her, carrying a fatal temptation.
She had seen many handsome men, but none as perfect as Mu Jiu Chen.
God had doted on him too much, giving him the best of everything.
Mu Jiu Chen thought about giving Jiang Nuan a gift and didn't notice her expression.
He took a silver box from the nightstand, and the contents inside were clearly very valuable.
"Nuan Nuan, this is for you!"
Mu Jiu Chen had noticed how beautiful she looked with earrings. Every time he went on a business trip, he would visit nearby malls to see if there were any styles suitable for her.
Jiang Nuan took it and slowly opened it. It was a pair of beautiful willow-moon-shaped diamond earrings. Under the lights, the diamonds refracted a crystal-like radiance.
"They're beautiful!" They were slightly more intricate than the last pair. The diamonds were elegant, and the designs were unique, each possessing its own beauty!
"Do you like them?" Mu Jiu Chen's lips brushed her cheek, his faint warm breath fanning her ear.
The atmosphere instantly turned intimate.
Jiang Nuan tilted her head, looking at him, and smiled softly, "I like them very much!"
This was her first relationship, and the feeling was quite good!
"When I was picking them out, I thought you would look beautiful wearing them! Wear them for me tomorrow." He recalled how happy he was last time she wore the necklace and earrings he had gifted her.
Receiving appreciation from the person he liked for something he gave was a remarkable sense of accomplishment.
"Okay, let's sleep!"
Jiang Nuan closed the brocade box and handed it to him, "Put it away safely. I'll wear them first thing tomorrow morning."
"Okay!" Mu Jiu Chen replied huskily.
Seeing that she had already lay down, he put away the brocade box and then lay down too. From behind her, he held her tightly in his embrace.
"Nuan Nuan, I don't want to go to a hotel!"
Jiang Nuan was momentarily confused, then realized what he had said. Her face began to flush again, "If you don't want to go, then we won't."
"Mm! We won't go to a hotel. We'll get our marriage license and live together openly. You are my Mu Jiu Chen's wife. You will take my surname."
Hearing him speak so seriously, Jiang Nuan turned to face him and looked at him earnestly, "Then, after I've resolved the matters in Modu, I'll marry you!"
The person she needed to deal with was Li He.
That person was very dangerous!
Mu Jiu Chen heard her agreement and didn't dare to push for getting the license tomorrow. He said, "Good! Nuan Nuan, a promise is a promise. Once the Modu matters are resolved, we'll get married and give the children a complete family."
"Okay!" Jiang Nuan also wanted to give the children a complete family.
"Hehe...!" Mu Jiu Chen was overjoyed. "Nuan Nuan, you're the best! Nuan Nuan, my heart isn't big. It can only hold one person, you. So, every day from now on, I hope my every day is you."
Jiang Nuan felt that Mu Jiu Chen's words were as sweet as honey whenever he spoke to her.
Jiang Nuan smiled without speaking.
Mu Jiu Chen said again, "Nuan Nuan, do you smell something?"
Jiang Nuan was puzzled and sniffed, "What smell?" She didn't smell anything.
"Hehe..." Mu Jiu Chen smiled and pinched her cheek. "Nuan Nuan, don't you realize? When you smile, even the air smells sweet."
Jiang Nuan slightly parted her red lips. This man, really...
"You..." Jiang Nuan was truly warmed by his sweet words.
Jiang Nuan closed her eyes to rest, but Mu Jiu Chen was reluctant to sleep. After tasting the forbidden fruit, he craved it every day. He definitely wouldn't be able to sleep without it.
Mu Jiu Chen shifted slightly, pulling her closer to him.
Jiang Nuan woke up startled. Seeing the desire in his eyes, she felt that this man had run a hundred kilometers in one go.
"What do you want!"
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her with a wronged expression, "I'm uncomfortable."
He nudged her with his body.
Jiang Nuan's face instantly turned red. She felt that this side of Mu Jiu Chen should only be seen by her.
"You won't be able to handle it if you're like this." Jiang Nuan didn't want to stay up half the night unable to sleep.
It was enjoyable, but also very tiring!
Her face clearly conveyed, "Don't touch me!"
But Mu Jiu Chen shamelessly pressed closer.
He even shamelessly said, "Little girl, if you look down on me, then try and see if I can handle it."
This battle lasted until midnight again!
...
When Jiang Nuan opened her eyes the next day, her entire body felt extremely sore.
She felt that she couldn't continue like this; she couldn't even get out of bed.
She, who could lift a hundred-kilogram strong man, was actually no match for Mu Jiu Chen.
Jiang Nuan admitted defeat in this regard for the first time.
She glanced at herself. Mu Jiu Chen was particularly meticulous. Knowing she wore little clothing in the summer heat, her legs above the calf, her arms above the forearm, and her collarbone area were all unpresentable.
Ahhhh...!
Jiang Nuan roared inwardly. She wouldn't let this dog man touch her for at least a week.
Mu Jiu Chen had gone to look after the children. Their laughter could still be heard downstairs.
After getting up and freshening up, she put on the diamond earrings Mu Jiu Chen had given her and changed into a white dress. Descending the stairs, she saw Mu Jiu Chen playing hide-and-seek with the three children.
It was hard to believe that a man as aloof as Mu Jiu Chen would be so attentive when it came to childcare.
Many small things can reveal a person's upbringing and caliber. It's often said that someone who excels in small matters will have a smoother path to success.
"Mama." Jiang Si Yun looked at her mother and ran towards her, smiling like a lark.
When Jiang Nuan remembered the siblings secretly drinking last night, her expression instantly turned cold.
Seeing her expression, the laughter of the three siblings also stopped.
"Mama, don't be angry. We took the wrong thing last night. We mixed red wine with juice, and it tasted really good. We accidentally drank too much. Mama, aren't we fine?"
She was indeed a caring little "cotton-padded jacket." Seeing her mother angry, she knew how to get out of it.
Jiang Nuan looked at her daughter with some helplessness, this daughter who was flexible and cunning like a fox.
"Did you really just take the wrong thing? Was it not intentional?"
Jiang Si Yun smiled brilliantly, "Mama, it was really just a mistake. It was too dark, and I couldn't see clearly."
One had to admit, Jiang Nuan was completely taken in by her daughter's charming pleas and cuteness.
Jiang Nuan: "..." I don't believe a word you say.
She raised her eyes and met Mu Jiu Chen's playful gaze, as if asking smugly, "Nuan Nuan, who is the one who can't handle it?"
Jiang Nuan silently averted her gaze. She had lost.
