Jiang Nuan woke up early. Before she could eat breakfast, she heard the doorbell. When she opened the door, she saw many beautiful roses, each with morning dew, looking delicate and tempting.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
The young man delivering the flowers was smiling happily.
"Hello, may I ask if you are Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Nuan nodded slightly. "I am."
"Miss Jiang, please sign for your flowers."
Jiang Nuan looked down at the large bouquet of roses and asked, "How much is this?"
The young man: "Ninety-nine roses."
Jiang Nuan: "...Who is so bored?"
The young man smiled, "Miss Jiang, this is not boring at all, it's very romantic. Ninety-nine roses represent everlasting love."
Jiang Nuan silently looked at him, and after a long while, managed to utter two words: "Thank you!"
Romantic??
This was more like a scare.
The young man specially handed over a card for Jiang Nuan to see.
[Nuan Nuan, good morning. I've always forgotten to tell you how lucky I am to have met you. The happiest thing for me is not achieving fame and fortune, but meeting you.] Da Feng Novel Network
A prominent name was at the bottom left: Mu Jiu Chen.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
"Thank you!" Jiang Nuan signed and accepted the flowers.
Holding the roses, she smiled. It made her mood quite good early in the morning.
"Oh my goodness, who sent the roses?" Meng Yuan came downstairs and saw the roses in Jiang Nuan's hand.
Jiang Yu Kuo followed behind her and said with a smile, "Aunt Meng, of course, it's your mom's boyfriend who sent them."
Meng Yuan was stunned and turned to look at the "little scheming one" behind her.
"Your mom has a boyfriend, and I didn't know?"
Jiang Yu Kuo also shook his head slightly, "I only found out when I saw these roses."
Meng Yuan hurried downstairs and saw Jiang Nuan arranging the roses.
Jiang Nuan didn't give her a chance to speak and asked, "How did the investigation go yesterday?"
When Meng Yuan heard this, she deflated like a punctured ball.
"How else? Tan Wenbin knows we're tracking him, so he's being extra cautious with everything. However, he has requested to see Jiang Shuo."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan felt there was hope.
As long as the other party made a move, she could find out what she wanted to know.
"Mom, I want to go see Aunt Tang today. I'm too bored staying home alone," Jiang Yu Kuo said, walking up to Jiang Nuan and acting cute.
Jiang Nuan looked at him and nodded. "Your Aunt Tang is back from her business trip."
"Yes, I told her I was at home, and she said to come over to the recording studio to practice my vocals."
"You can. Take a taxi later. Your semester ends next week. What are your plans for the holiday?"
Jiang Yu Kuo thought for a moment. "Mom, I'll just practice and do livestreams."
"Good! It's great to have your own plans."
"Mom, I'm leaving now." Jiang Yu Kuo said goodbye, put on his small backpack, and left.
Jiang Nuan looked at Meng Yuan and asked, "Aren't you going out today?"
Meng Yuan: "No! Nothing much to do today. Big Brother Jiang went out early for something."
"Then keep Xia Xia company. She's pregnant."
Meng Yuan: "..."
"What did you say?!" She was stunned!
No, she was petrified!
Who am I, where am I?!
Jiang Nuan glanced upstairs and said softly, "Be quiet, Xia Xia is still sleeping. She has decided to keep the baby. You know it's not easy for a single mother, so we should help her out more."
Meng Yuan took a while to react. "Damn it, you know it's not easy for a single mother, so why didn't you persuade her to have an abortion?"
Jiang Nuan looked at her. "Meng Yuan, once a woman decides to be strong, what does it have to do with men!"
"All women who work hard and live their lives to the fullest deserve respect."
Meng Yuan truly didn't understand. "...! Nuan Nuan, that sounds simple, but it's life after all."
Jiang Nuan turned to look at her and smiled. "Xia Xia made her own decision. Do we have the right to interfere with their lives? Besides, it's a healthy baby, and it will surely be very smart in the future."
Anyway, she couldn't bear to see it. Looking at her three children, she never regretted her past decisions.
Women don't necessarily need love or marriage; other ways can also allow women to live brilliantly.
Meng Yuan felt this matter was too strange. She didn't even know when Yun Xia got a boyfriend.
"Got it, got it. Seeing the little scheming ones makes me speechless." Meng Yuan also knew that making such a decision was difficult.
Even the hardest days can be overcome. Can the three best friends not support one child by sticking together?
Jiang Nuan made breakfast for Meng Yuan and Yun Xia and then went to the wellness center.
As soon as she entered, she saw Xiao Rui Ming mingling with everyone. They were eating dumplings.
Seeing Jiang Nuan enter, he held a plate of crystal dumplings and said, "Nuan Nuan, you're here. I've prepared crystal dumplings for you. Try them."
Xiao Rui Ming placed the crystal dumplings in front of Jiang Nuan as if presenting a treasure.
The skins were thin and the fillings were large, with the meat filling clearly visible inside.
They looked delicious. Jiang Nuan picked up her chopsticks and tasted one. The texture was excellent, and the aroma was just right.
"Delicious, so delicious! Will this be on the menu too?" Jiang Nuan asked with a smile.
This time, she hadn't chosen the wrong person.
"Sister, it's been on the menu for a long time. Come and try them quickly. These are all Chef Xiao's signature dishes. He came before dawn to cook, just to finalize the dishes early." Bai Zhou, who always loved good food, was the most enthusiastic eater among them.
Jiang Nuan walked over and saw the five of them buried in their food. There were more than ten dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, and seafood.
Yu Han, in particular, was eating with a blissful expression.
After tasting them one by one, Jiang Nuan looked at Xiao Rui Ming.
Xiao Rui Ming saw her golden gaze again. At this moment, he felt like Jiang Nuan's money tree.
"How... how is it?" Under Jiang Nuan's intense gaze, he even stammered when he spoke.
Jiang Nuan was dressed very casually today, in a tight black tracksuit that perfectly accentuated her figure. Her neat and heroic demeanor was very charming.
Jiang Nuan nodded quickly and praised, "Xiao Rui Ming, it seems you are truly a treasure. Get these menus finalized and start pre-selling."
Jiang Nuan then looked at Le Cheng. "Le Cheng, take a good picture of our Chef Xiao and post it online."
"Yes, Sister!" Le Cheng smiled at Xiao Rui Ming.
Xiao Rui Ming: "..." He felt like he had stuck his head into a wolf's den.
After speaking, Jiang Nuan went to the kitchen to prepare the soup.
Xiao Rui Ming followed her in and glanced at Jiang Nuan's technique. He was very focused and felt her soup was more fragrant than his. This puzzled him greatly.
Jiang Nuan could see Xiao Rui Ming's confusion. She smiled. "Do you think the soup I'm making is more fragrant than yours?"
Xiao Rui Ming nodded. "Yes!"
Jiang Nuan smiled. "The reason my soup is usually more fragrant is because I understand medicinal principles. I know the properties and uses of the herbs, which is how I make the soup so good."
Just as Jiang Nuan was about to explain the shortcomings of Xiao Rui Ming's soup, her phone rang.
It was Meng Yuan calling: "Nuan Nuan, quickly check online, something's happened."
