Not far away, Mu Jiuchen and He Mingrun emerged from the shadows.
He Mingrun looked at Mu Jiuchen with a displeased expression. "Mu Jiuchen, that was very underhanded of you. You might as well have let me play the hero."
This cunning man had actually called the police.
Mu Jiuchen glanced coolly at He Mingrun. "You! Would it have been useful for us to go out there like that? If Nuannuan can solve a problem herself, does she need our help? Once we're at the police station, our usefulness will be much greater. You need a strategy to win a woman's heart."
He Mingrun: "..." I've learned something new. Chasing a wife leads to the police station. But my Yuan Yuan is truly too cute. He Mingrun couldn't help but smile thinking of Meng Yuan's actions.
Mu Jiuchen glanced at him. Like father, like son, truly a perfect match.
He spoke with immense pride, "Our Nuannuan belongs only in heaven, and descended to the mortal world only for me."
He Mingrun: "..."
He Mingrun also said proudly, "Our Yuan Yuan is the same. She doesn't need beauty to kill, her charm lies solely in her every sway."
"Let's go, we'll be late if we don't hurry." Mu Jiuchen felt he couldn't listen any longer. He Mingrun was already captivated by that slender waist. He strode out.
Jiang Nuan didn't know who had called the police. After arriving at the police station and giving her statement, she saw Mu Jiuchen and He Mingrun walk in.
The police officer on duty said someone had come to pick them up, and it was Mu Jiuchen and He Mingrun.
Jiang Nuan looked at the two men, a little confused. "Why are you here?"
Mu Jiuchen smiled at the two of them and said, "Nuannuan, Miss Meng, we were worried about you. We followed you back, and when we saw you being taken away by the police, He Mingrun and I followed to see what was happening. Coincidentally, the Yan family had been up to some shady business, so we came to take care of it."
Jiang Nuan didn't quite believe him, but she had no proof.
"Yuan Yuan, Miss Jiang, everything is fine now. Shall we escort you back?" He Mingrun looked apologetically at Jiang Nuan and Meng Yuan. The events of the evening had almost harmed them.
The two nodded, said nothing, and walked out.
No one spoke on the way.
Jiang Nuan was very tired and leaned back to rest her eyes.
She didn't care what fate awaited Yan Xin, but the Yan family was finished.
Meng Yuan suddenly spoke, "Nuannuan, are you going to the competition at Jue Wei Tian Xia tomorrow?"
Jiang Nuan nodded slightly. That's why she was so tired. Could she just close her eyes for a bit?
"What competition?" Mu Jiuchen couldn't help but ask.
How had he not heard about Nuannuan having a competition? And Jue Wei Tian Xia sounded familiar.
"Ninth Master, do you really like our Nuannuan? How can you not even know about her participating in a competition? Someone has issued a challenge to Nuannuan at Jue Wei Tian Xia," Meng Yuan said, exasperated. She wasn't very satisfied with this cold Ninth Master.
However, since he was the father of their little mischievous boys, she couldn't help but say a few words.
"Is that so? Nuannuan, then I'll come to watch you compete tomorrow."
He had found a reason to accompany his son these past few days anyway.
If he improved his relationship with his son, wouldn't it be easier to win over the child's mother?
Jiang Nuan was tired from the day, and her wound ached faintly. She had been walking around all day, and after the scuffle, the wound had split open.
She didn't have the energy to argue with him and gave a perfunctory reply, "As you wish."
Anyway, the competition would only last an hour or two. She was skilled at making nourishing soup. Winning or losing wasn't important; what mattered was that she enjoyed it.
When they arrived at her doorstep, the two big men refused to leave. Jiang Nuan didn't pay them much attention; she was too tired and went upstairs to rest.
Feeling somewhat groggy, she pushed open her room door and sensed movement behind her. She turned abruptly and saw Mu Jiuchen following her. Her grogginess instantly cleared.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Nuan's voice was loud.
Mu Jiuchen, holding a first-aid kit, gazed at her quietly. "I'll put medicine on your wound, and then I'll leave. So don't try to out-patient me."
"Mu Jiuchen, I told you before. I haven't forgiven you, and you shouldn't appear before me."
"Alright, after I put medicine on your wound, I'll disappear automatically. So don't be stubborn anymore." Mu Jiuchen placed the medicine box on the table. This was the second time he had entered her room, and the familiar scent still captivated him.
Jiang Nuan was amused by his words, "Mu Jiuchen, there's a difference between men and women. Please leave."
Mu Jiuchen heard this and looked at her with a knowing smile, "Is there any part of your body I haven't seen?"
"Mu Jiuchen." Jiang Nuan was angry, a blush creeping onto her face. She glared at Mu Jiuchen with wide, indignant eyes.
How could he say such things so casually?
Mu Jiuchen: "..." So cute!
However, seeing her look of disdain, he felt quite dejected. The young ladies of Jinshi all hoped for him to look at them more, but with Nuannuan, he was constantly met with disdain.
This woman truly couldn't be spoiled.
Mu Jiuchen forcefully helped her to sit down. She had been injured saving him, and he was very concerned about her injuries.
"I can do it myself." Jiang Nuan felt awkward thinking about the location of her wound.
Mu Jiuchen's face darkened. "You can't see the wound."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
Mu Jiuchen carefully lowered her collar. Her fair skin was smooth and alluring. Her back was beautiful, with no excess flesh.
Of course, at this moment, he dared not have any inappropriate thoughts. He understood Nuannuan's temper. The one who could shelter you from the wind and rain could also make you disappear from the face of the earth.
Seeing a pool of red blood seeping from the wound, he felt a pang of pain, and his movements became even gentler.
"The wound has indeed split again. Can you not go to the competition tomorrow?" Mu Jiuchen regretted his earlier actions of hiding in the back. She was exhausted, yet he had made her go to the police station.
"It's fine." Jiang Nuan handed him a bottle of medicine. "Apply this to the wound, and it will scab over by morning." The wound was deep. Because she had taken medicine since childhood, her recovery ability was extraordinary, allowing her to be discharged the same day. Anyone who could be discharged and still be as lively as this would likely only be Jiang Nuan.
Mu Jiuchen carefully applied the medicine and gently pushed it in. It emitted a faint, pleasant fragrance.
"What kind of ointment is this? It's very fragrant." Mu Jiuchen was curious about her medical skills. His grandmother had seen many specialists who said there was no hope, yet she could make his grandmother feel much better with a bowl of nourishing soup.
Jiang Nuan said, "It's a very good medicine, one that very few doctors in the world can concoct. Is that why your hand healed so quickly last time?"
"Oh!" Mu Jiuchen wanted to say that the medicine last time didn't have such a pleasant fragrance.
Mu Jiuchen bandaged Jiang Nuan's wound and glanced at the time. It was really too late.
"Nuannuan, I'm leaving."
Jiang Nuan had no intention of making him stay.
"Goodbye!" she said faintly, quickly pulling up her clothes and heading towards the bathroom.
Mu Jiuchen looked at her retreating figure, shook his head, and chuckled. What if he didn't want to leave?
The next morning, Jiang Nuan still slept until nine o'clock. She still had time. After washing up, she entrusted Kuo Bao to Jiang Xingyu's care and went to Jue Wei Tian Xia with Meng Yuan for the competition.
