Jiang Nuan walked out leisurely.
Everyone: "..."
"Nuannuan, how are you? Why are you walking out?" Mu Jiuchen looked at the doctor following behind her. "How could you let an injured person walk out?"
Seeing Mu Jiuchen's anger, the doctors lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
Jiang Nuan glanced at him coldly, "I wanted to walk out myself. Did you expect me to be carried out?"
"No, Nuannuan, I just felt very angry seeing you walk out like this. They didn't take good care of you." Mu Jiuchen felt that Jiang Nuan's aura had changed. Although her gaze was calm before, it had never been this cold.
Mu Jiuchen felt a bit flustered. Before he could say anything more, a graceful figure rushed over and hugged Jiang Nuan.
"Ow!" Jiang Nuan let out a muffled groan.
Upon hearing this, Mu Jiuchen looked sharply at Meng Yuan, who was crying and hugging Jiang Nuan.
He noticed that Jiang Nuan's face was even paler than before.
"Nuannuan, you scared me to death! I was so afraid you would be carried out. What would I do if something happened to you?"
Jiang Nuan chuckled at her words, "Yuan Yuan, if I'm gone, you still have the three little ones to rely on!"
"Nonsense, how can those three little ones be as reliable as you? You help me bathe, cook for me, do facials, and earn money for me. Those three boys only make me angry."
Mu Jiuchen said sternly, "It sounds like Nuannuan is your nanny. Let go of her quickly. Can't you see she's in pain?"
Mu Jiuchen's tone was very unpleasant.
Meng Yuan immediately let go of Jiang Nuan and looked apologetically at her, "Nuannuan, I'm so sorry, I was just too excited."
Jiang Nuan shook her head slightly, "It's fine, once the pain passes, it won't hurt anymore." Especially since she was already used to the pain.
"Oh, oh!" Meng Yuan nodded quickly, "As long as it doesn't hurt."
Mu Jiuchen: "..."
He gently pulled Meng Yuan's sleeve, drawing her back, "Move aside, let Nuannuan rest."
"Oh!" Meng Yuan had been dazed all day and was still in shock.
Seeing Liu Fei and his son die before her eyes, she accepted their deaths an hour or two later. But Jiang Nuan was different; she was like family to her.
She hadn't even gone to see her parents after returning to Modu, but rushed back to accompany Nuannuan.
Jiang Nuan looked at Mu Jiuchen, her expression grim, "Let's talk."
"Oh!" Mu Jiuchen was a little nervous.
He turned to look at Li Qingshuo and saw that Li Qingshuo's gaze was fixed on Yun Xia opposite him.
Yun Xia, however, was full of anger.
Jiang Xingyu had already noticed the unusual atmosphere between the two.
But he didn't say anything.
At this moment, Yun Xia walked over, suddenly raised her hand, and slapped Li Qingshuo across the face, "You scoundrel, how dare you show your face to me again."
After speaking, Yun Xia left in a huff.
Everyone: "..."
"Oh my god, what's wrong with Xiaxia?" Meng Yuan was stunned. She actually hit Mu Jiuchen's friend.
Li Qingshuo stood in place with a gloomy expression and lowered his head.
Jiang Nuan immediately felt that there was a story between the two of them.
However, she didn't have the mind to think about other things right now; her own affairs were also a mess.
"Mu Jiuchen, let's go."
Jiang Nuan stepped forward.
Mu Jiuchen followed her closely, while also keeping an eye on the people around them to prevent them from bumping into her wound.
When they reached a secluded spot, Jiang Nuan looked up at Mu Jiuchen.
Their eyes met. Mu Jiuchen felt guilty but also tormented. Facing the person he liked and not being able to fathom her thoughts was no less stressful than facing the executioner's blade.
"Ninth Master, we met six years ago. I was blind and didn't recognize you." Her voice was clear and cold, devoid of any emotion, and even her beautiful star-like eyes held no warmth.
Mu Jiuchen was stunned. He thought she was going to cause trouble because she was injured for him, but it turned out she recognized him.
What should he do?!
Little Koi had warned him, and he had been looking for an opportunity to tell Nuannuan.
But there was never a suitable chance.
"Nuannuan, let me explain. That night, I was also framed. Because I knew it was you, so..."
"So, you did something worse than an animal to me? Didn't you even think to take me to the hospital?" Jiang Nuan was furious. She had held on until her limit. She had finally persisted until that moment and met him, thinking she was saved, but in the end, she was still thoroughly taken advantage of.
No one could understand her anger.
But without him, there would be no three treasures now.
Jiang Nuan felt both love and hate towards him.
Mu Jiuchen: "..."
At that time, he didn't have the presence of mind to go to the hospital. Dealing with it on the spot was more like it.
"Nuannuan, I'm sorry!" Mu Jiuchen apologized sincerely. Little Koi had told him that Nuannuan responded to gentleness, not harshness. A sincere apology and a bit of feigned distress, and Nuannuan would surely forgive him.
Jiang Nuan looked at him, seeming even more wronged than she was, and laughed angrily, "Did I cause you any losses? Who are you putting on this wronged act for?"
"I did suffer a loss."
Jiang Nuan: "......??" Her expression turned grim.
Mu Jiuchen dared not look at Jiang Nuan's expression and continued, "Although you fainted in my arms when I met you, when I took you to the hotel, you were the one who took off my clothes. I was also framed by Tan Xue, and when the drug's effects were at their peak, I couldn't resist your intense advances!"
Jiang Nuan: "..." She stiffened her neck. Was it all her fault?
"So, in your eyes, it's all my fault?" Jiang Nuan asked this question with difficulty.
Mu Jiuchen quickly shook his head, his survival instinct kicking in. Controlling people's hearts had always been his forte, as was manipulating them.
"Nuannuan, it's my fault, all my fault. You can hit me or scold me, but just don't ignore me."
Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes at him and said word by word, "With such an awkward relationship, you expect me to greet you with a smile?"
Mu Jiuchen was startled and asked, "Where is it awkward? Nuannuan, don't you recognize me?"
Jiang Nuan said angrily, "If I had recognized you first, do you think you would still be standing here safely?"
Jiang Nuan had never met such a shameless person.
And he said it so righteously.
At that time, she desperately wanted to be saved. The hope she thought she had found ultimately turned into despair.
How could she not be angry?
Mu Jiuchen knew she wouldn't remember. Well, after all, for such an event, only he had it etched in his memory.
"Nuannuan, think carefully again. That time six years ago was not our first meeting." Mu Jiuchen's deep gaze calmly fixed on her.
Jiang Nuan shouted angrily, "Mu Jiuchen, don't try to play the emotional card with me!" Jiang Nuan roared, stretching her wound and gasping in pain.
Mu Jiuchen was about to speak when Jiang Nuan's phone rang. Seeing it was a call from her children's school, she was somewhat puzzled as to why they would call at this hour.
Her phone was in her bag. As she moved her arm, the pain made her vision go black.
"Nuannuan, don't move. I'll get it for you." Without waiting for Jiang Nuan's consent, Mu Jiuchen retrieved her phone and pressed the answer button.
