Mu Jiu Chen suddenly stood up and pulled her, "Nuan Nuan, going back this late will make our precious one worry."
Jiang Nuan looked back at him, "Worry about what? Isn't Xiao Hei Hei more worried when I'm here?"
"No, no, no, when you're with me, our son feels very safe." Mu Jiu Chen felt Jiang Nuan had misunderstood. Did he look like a big bad wolf?
"Nuan Nuan, it's too late, stop messing around. You have an injury, you need to sleep early to recover faster. You sleep in my bedroom, I'll sleep in the guest room next door," Mu Jiu Chen said, striding out.
Jiang Nuan: "..." Who said I wanted to sleep in your bed?
As Jiang Nuan hesitated, she saw Butler Li entering with two sets of pajamas.
"Miss Jiang, these are pajamas prepared by Ninth Master for you. Please change and rest early."
Butler Li placed the pajamas in Jiang Nuan's hands, gave her a meaningful smile, and then turned to leave.
Jiang Nuan looked down at the time. It was indeed quite late, past one in the morning.
Forget it, she'd sleep here for the night.
She changed into the pajamas and lay down on Mu Jiu Chen's large, soft bed, but she felt strange.
The sheets and duvet covers were new, with no added fragrance, but instead carried Mu Jiu Chen's crisp scent. She knew she was exhausted, but she couldn't sleep.
Indeed, based on Meng Yuan's experience with relationships, a woman without love is carefree, but with love becomes neurotic. And here she was, overthinking everything.
She had an injury and couldn't toss and turn frequently. After counting sheep countless times, she finally fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Jiu Chen had been in the adjacent room. After showering, he saw Butler Li standing outside the door and asked in a low voice, "Has Nuan Nuan slept?"
Butler Li smiled, "Yes."
Mu Jiu Chen was satisfied. As long as Nuan Nuan stayed to rest.
Mu Jiu Chen instructed Butler Li, "Prepare a more abundant breakfast tomorrow morning, Nuan Nuan is injured."
Butler Li nodded with a smile, "Yes, Ninth Master." It was rare to see Mu Jiu Chen like this. She had been by his side for many years and knew his coldness and ruthlessness. She had never seen him so attentive to any girl.
It seemed Ninth Master had found his true love this time.
After Butler Li left, Mu Jiu Chen went to the basement. Two bodyguards were guarding Xiao Luo and Xiao Yang.
Upon seeing Mu Jiu Chen, both women trembled involuntarily.
The bodyguards nodded slightly at him.
"Ninth Master, the surveillance also found that these two women often steal things from the house."
The bodyguards brought up the surveillance footage for Mu Jiu Chen to see.
Mu Jiu Chen frowned slightly. Butler Li was usually a meticulous person.
The times these two women stole things were all during Butler Li's rest periods.
Butler Li had followed him for many years, conscientiously taking care of his daily life without any ulterior motives.
On the other hand, these young girls didn't know how to cherish themselves.
His once kind nature had been stripped away by reality. Some things required ruthlessness.
"Preserve all the evidence, and then call the police."
"No, no, no, Ninth Master, please spare us. We usually just took things Ninth Master didn't want. We just wanted to take them back as souvenirs. Ninth Master, we really didn't steal!" Xiao Luo didn't want to ruin her life. If she were truly sent to jail, how would she get married afterward?
She knew very well what she had taken. Mu Jiu Chen's business was very large, and the gifts from his business partners were very expensive.
However, Mu Jiu Chen never inventoried these items.
After Butler Li inventoried them and stored them in the warehouse, he wouldn't inquire further.
She had taken a white jade ornament worth over two hundred thousand, and other items. This could lead to many years in prison.
Mu Jiu Chen suddenly walked over furiously and kicked Xiao Luo.
"Ah..." Xiao Luo let out a scream and almost fainted, looking at Mu Jiu Chen's handsome yet cold face with terror.
Mu Jiu Chen's face was as dark as ice, sending chills down one's spine.
"Spare you? When you were bullying Nuan Nuan, did you ever consider the consequences? She is the person dearest to my heart. I painstakingly invited her here, and you treated her like this. She was finally developing some good feelings for me, and you two scoundrels ruined it."
"Once you're in, don't expect to get out. The items you stole are worth millions."
After speaking, Mu Jiu Chen signaled the two bodyguards, and they led them away.
Xiao Yang and Xiao Luo's faces turned ashen. If they had known that offending Jiang Nuan would ruin their lives, they would never have done it.
Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine in this world.
Mu Jiu Chen didn't even glance at the two of them and went upstairs to rest.
As he was about to enter his door, he saw Li Qing Shuo trying to open his room. With drowsy eyes, he didn't even see Mu Jiu Chen.
Mu Jiu Chen walked over with lingering fear.
He dragged the half-asleep Li Qing Shuo into the adjacent room.
Li Qing Shuo woke up and, upon seeing Mu Jiu Chen, was startled. "Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Jiu, why are you here?"
Mu Jiu Chen was furious. If he hadn't come out, he wouldn't know what would have happened.
Mu Jiu Chen was almost at his breaking point.
"Why are you here so late instead of sleeping?" Mu Jiu Chen was very angry.
Li Qing Shuo ran a hand through his messy hair and sat on the sofa listlessly before saying, "I came to chat with you."
Mu Jiu Chen: "...Are you sick this late at night?"
Looking at Li Qing Shuo's unpromising demeanor, he really wanted to kick him out.
Li Qing Shuo had been drinking, his mind was a mess, and his body was overheating.
"Xiao Jiu, I'm telling you, I'm really sick. Ever since I was with that woman last time, I've been like a released flood, constantly thinking about... that."
"I just came down to tell you, don't touch women lightly. It's too difficult afterward."
Mu Jiu Chen: "..." Why was he discussing such topics with him so late at night?
Did he think he was a block of wood?
What was Li Qing Shuo's situation compared to his?
Six years ago, he had felt heavenly bliss. He would never forget that feeling.
Therefore, there was no need for Li Qing Shuo to remind him; his physiological needs were about to explode.
The thought of Jiang Nuan in the next room made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Li Qing Shuo, what would you do if you had a child?" He knew Li Qing Shuo was very confused at the moment. After drinking, Li Qing Shuo's mind was blurred, and he was also very honest.
"What child? I don't even know where my wife is yet. Where would a child come from?" Li Qing Shuo chuckled foolishly, his vision blurry. Why didn't this look like Mu Jiu Chen's room?
He wanted to sleep with Xiao Jiu.
Mu Jiu Chen said sternly, "I'm asking, what if you really did?"
"Heh heh... Xiao Jiu, are you sick? I don't even have a wife yet, how could I have a child?"
"Go, go, go, I want to sleep with you like when we were kids." Li Qing Shuo walked towards the nearby bed.
Mu Jiu Chen originally wanted to drive him back to his own room to sleep.
But he was afraid that Li Qing Shuo might have a breakdown later and return to his room, thus endangering his Nuan Nuan.
Mu Jiu Chen thought about it. Although he looked disgusted, this was the best solution.
He asked Butler Li to bring another blanket, and the night finally came to an end.
However, as he was drifting off to sleep, he heard a earth-shattering scream from the next room.
He jolted upright in shock.
