Han Yixuan looked at Han Yixuan, who hadn't returned for a long time, and said in surprise, "Xiao Fan, where have you been these past few days?"
He had been very worried about him!
Han Yifan watched Jiang Nuan's car disappear into the traffic before looking at him and smiling gently, "Brother, where could I go? I'm right here. Sometimes you could see me if you just turned around, but you never did."
Han Yixuan: "..."
"Xiao Fan, your father wants you to go back. You should go back, so they don't worry. He called me last night and said I must persuade you to return when I saw you. What if your illness flares up?" Han Yixuan was very worried about him.
But once he left his sight, Han Yifan was always elusive.
Unless he showed up on his own, it was impossible to find him!
Han Yifan smiled faintly and glanced into the distance, "Brother, don't worry, I won't let him out."
"My condition is under control now. As long as you don't hurt me, as long as you don't fight me for Nuannuan, I can keep him from coming out for a lifetime."
His light tone carried a smile, but Han Yixuan felt a chill down his spine.
He was shocked by his words, how could he still be thinking about Nuannuan?
"Xiao Fan..."
"Brother, I know you're going to lecture me again, but I don't want you to. I'm leaving. I came here to see Nuannuan. Seeing that she's almost recovered, I'm relieved."
Han Yifan turned around. In the setting sun, he, dressed in white, became a clear stream in the bustling crowd.
Han Yixuan stared at his retreating figure, frozen in place.
Ultimately, how could he make Han Yifan forget Jiang Nuan?
How could he do it without hurting them both?
...
At the Lu family's residence, Jin Yan was looking forward to her daughter coming home for dinner. After a verbal sparring with the old madam, she was about to call her daughter when she saw her daughter and son-in-law returning.
"Nuannuan, Xiao Jiu, oh my, Mom was just about to call you to come back for dinner!"
"Mom, we're back," Mu Jiuchen said with a smile.
"Mom, I've been very busy lately, I'm sorry." Jiang Nuan felt very apologetic for not having much time to spend with her mother.
Jin Yan looked at her, who had become much thinner, and lovingly took her hand. "Sweetheart, no matter how hard you work, your health comes first. Look at you, you've become as thin as a bamboo pole."
Jiang Nuan couldn't help but smile at her mother's concerned look. "Mom, it's not as exaggerated as you say. I'll go see President Jin and be right back for dinner."
Jin Yan narrowed her eyes, thinking that Jin Tong had recovered much better recently, speaking and acting with more vigor, unlike her previous sickly appearance.
Her daughter was truly capable.
"Yes! Come back quickly. Xiao Jiu and I will be waiting for you to have dinner. Your brothers and father won't be back, so it'll just be the three of us."
"Okay!" Jiang Nuan asked Mu Jiuchen to chat with her mother for a while as she went out with her medical kit.
Seeing her daughter leave, Jin Yan asked Mu Jiuchen to sit down.
She confided her worries to Mu Jiuchen, "Xiao Jiu, I suspect that the Jin family knows about Nuannuan's identity as Vicky. With their despicable methods, they might expose Nuannuan and use her to find business partners."
"I went to see the old madam today and overheard them chatting, but I didn't hear much. As soon as I entered, they suddenly stopped talking. I suspect that Nuannuan will most likely be used by the Jin family to find business partners."
"Just because Nuannuan cured Jin Tong, Jin Tong will definitely make a big deal out of it."
Mu Jiuchen's eyes held a cold glint. He remembered that there was an academic exchange conference three days later.
He had also been invited and was planning to bring Nuannuan along.
"Mom, don't worry, I won't let them use Nuannuan." He would take some measures next.
"Mm!" Jin Yan said somewhat helplessly, "Their mouths are their own. If they really expose her, we'll just face it calmly. It's not a bad thing!"
Mu Jiuchen: "…Alright!"
He took out his phone and sent a message to Xiao Fan.
Asking him to check the list for the academic exchange conference.
[Boss! Received. Thank you for the diamond. My girlfriend likes it very much. I'll propose when we get back to Jinshi City!]
Mu Jiuchen's gaze flickered, and he frowned, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Xiao Fan was already proposing?
Mu Jiuchen thought about it; Xiao Fan had been with him through a lot of hardship over the years.
He sent a message.
[Congratulations on your successful proposal.]
Seeing the message, Xiao Fan: "..."
At this moment, he was having dinner with Chen Feng at a roadside food stall, eating grilled fish.
Both of them had received diamonds and were discussing proposal scenarios.
He looked at Chen Feng in surprise and said excitedly, "Damn, Chen Feng, Ninth Master actually wants to congratulate me on my proposal?"
Chen Feng took a sip of wine, which made him squint his eyes due to the spiciness. He put down his wine glass and said heartily, "As the saying goes, a flirtatious woman always keeps a man addicted, and a boss who cares about his subordinates always keeps his employees loyal. It's not surprising."
Xiao Fan: ??? Da Feng Novel Network
If it were anyone else, he would have found it unsurprising, but who was this person?
Mu Jiuchen!
"Hehe..." Xiao Fan smiled happily. That was great; Ninth Master's blessing was invaluable!
"Chen Feng, I will cherish this message forever," Xiao Fan saved it.
Chen Feng: "..."
He felt inexplicably sour. Why did he receive a message from Ninth Master?
"Hmph!" Chen Feng sourly took another sip of wine.
Xiao Fan was very happy and didn't notice Chen Feng's displeased expression.
"Ding dong..."
Chen Feng abruptly grabbed his phone, the contact name: [Boss]
[Chen Feng, I also wish you a successful proposal.]
"Holy cow."
When Xiao Fan heard the surprised voice, Chen Feng had already sat on the ground.
Xiao Fan: "..."
He stared blankly at Chen Feng sprawled on the ground, "We haven't even started drinking yet, why are you drunk?"
Chen Feng, ignoring the pain in his backside, struggled to get up and excitedly showed the phone screen to Xiao Fan, "Damn, Xiao Fan, Ninth Master also sent me a message, wishing me a successful proposal."
Xiao Fan: "..."
So he wasn't the only one in Ninth Master's heart!
"Tch!" Xiao Fan picked up the tea on the table. Angrily, he didn't notice he had picked up the wrong thing; he had picked up a cup of potent white liquor.
After drinking it in one gulp, the spicy kick made him question his life.
"Ahhh..." He threw the cup away, desperately clutching his throat. The pungent taste spread through his mouth, burning all the way to his stomach.
Chen Feng: "..."
He looked at Xiao Fan opposite him in surprise.
"Damn, Xiao Fan, is it necessary to be this excited? You just downed a whole cup of potent white liquor like that. Am I going to have to drag you back later? You could at least have a drink with me!"
"Ahhh..." Xiao Fan was furious.
He looked at Chen Feng in pain, caught sight of the tea on the table, and took a sip. After the mellow aroma of the tea, there was a slight bitterness.
He gulped down a mouthful of the tea. The tea was too hot, and his tongue was numb and painful.
"Pfft..." He spat out the water.
"It burned my mouth."
Chen Feng's eyes widened: "..."
This unlucky kid was truly experiencing misfortune from excessive joy.
