Han Yixuan was so angry he wanted to hit him!
Stopping Jiang Nuan from getting married, how could that be possible?
He could never do anything that would betray Nuan Nuan.
"Married, what marriage? Xiao Fan, I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't even received a wedding invitation. How do you know Nuan Nuan is getting married?"
He truly hadn't received a wedding invitation.
But he also knew that Mu Jiuchen was making a big fuss about the wedding preparations.
That man stood beside him and said, "Han Yixuan, I'm getting married next month. I'll invite you to the wedding banquet then."
Han Yixuan turned his head to look. Mu Jiuchen, bathed in the morning light, smiled, a smile extraordinarily gentle.
As a grown man watching, he felt as if he were drunk on aged fine wine.
He thought at that moment that Mu Jiuchen's smile was too much of a violation.
Han Yifan looked at his brother, who was feigning madness, and gave a cool, indifferent smile. "Brother, I'm your brother. If you don't help me, are you going to help Mu Jiuchen?"
Han Yixuan was furious and really wanted to immerse him in a wine vat to sober him up properly.
There was no music in the bar, only the uneven flashing of lights.
It cast a particularly cold glow on Han Yifan's handsome face.
Han Yixuan wasn't mistaken. The young man sitting opposite him revealed the darkest side of his handsome face.
"Xiao Fan, Nuan Nuan is very happy now. Please don't disturb her, okay?" Han Yixuan earnestly persuaded him.
But he knew that Han Yifan's obsession was too deep to be persuaded.
In Han Yifan's calm eyes, after hearing Han Yixuan's words, there was a fleeting explosion of shattered emotions.
"Brother, you truly disappoint me." His voice was laced with deep disappointment.
Han Yixuan's gaze faltered, and he found it somewhat amusing. "Who exactly is disappointing whom?"
"Han Yifan, you want to snatch someone else's wife. Do you know what you're saying?"
Han Yixuan looked at Han Yifan opposite him, his heart heavy.
Han Yifan's smile was light and casual. "Brother, I know what I'm saying. You don't need to worry about me. You go back. If you don't help me, I'll do it myself. You won't be able to stop me even if you try."
Han Yixuan felt as if his head had been slammed in a door.
Why couldn't he make himself clear?
"Han Yifan, can I help you with something like this? This is immoral. There are plenty of good women in this world. Why have you been fixated on Nuan Nuan? Why?" Han Yixuan truly didn't understand his actions.
But Han Yifan said nothing. After clarifying the matter that day, Han Yifan was no longer willing to say anything more to him.
Every time they met, it was at places where Jiang Nuan appeared.
So, he had been following Nuan Nuan?
The thought made Han Yixuan's entire body tense up.
Having someone watching like this was truly terrifying.
Han Yifan said, "You should go." His voice held no emotion.
Han Yixuan truly stood up and left.
The night was beautiful, and the wind was gentle.
But Han Yixuan's heart was in turmoil. He had already warned Mu Jiuchen about this matter.
He had to remind him again that Han Yifan was very dangerous. This kid was also proficient in pharmacology. If he wanted to drug someone, there was nothing he couldn't do.
Han Yixuan got into the car, took a deep breath, and took out his phone to send a message to Mu Jiuchen.
[Mu Jiuchen, I met Han Yifan tonight. He wants to snatch Nuan Nuan. You must be careful and don't lose your wife at the wedding ceremony.]
Mu Jiuchen was discussing production matters with Xiao Fan in his study when he suddenly received Han Yixuan's message. He saw that their discussion was almost finished and asked Xiao Fan to rest.
The moment the door closed, his face turned grim, and he quickly called Han Yixuan.
Han Yixuan was startled. He had sent the message precisely because he didn't want to hear Mu Jiuchen's questioning voice.
And now, he had called him back directly.
"Hello!" Han Yixuan braced himself to receive Mu Jiuchen's wrath.
"Where is Han Yifan?" Mu Jiuchen asked angrily.
Han Yixuan looked at the "Encounter" bar and said, "He asked me to meet him at the bar. He's probably left by now. You won't find him even if you come. He's elusive, and even I can't keep track of his whereabouts. Also, he seems to have been following Nuan Nuan. He always appears after Nuan Nuan leaves, and he knows her whereabouts like the back of his hand."
Mu Jiuchen growled, "I know."
Mu Jiuchen angrily hung up the phone and then called Chen Feng.
"Sir!" Receiving a call from the Master at night usually meant an unpleasant task.
Chen Feng gave up the thought of seeing his girlfriend and listened to the phone call attentively.
"Chen Feng, go to Qi Country and investigate Han Yifan's father. Does his company have any weaknesses? Does the company evade taxes? Find evidence for all of it. Someone will assist you with the investigation when you get there."
Mu Jiuchen's tone was rapid and tinged with displeasure.
Chen Feng's face turned ashen. He thought he had a chance to apply for leave to go see his girlfriend, but now he was being sent across the Atlantic.
The distance was growing.
"Okay, sir. Tomorrow..."
"Go tonight."
Chen Feng: "...Okay, sir, I'll leave now." Chen Feng's voice had a strange, tearful quality.
Mu Jiuchen hung up the phone, still very angry.
This Han Yifan was actually coveting his wife all along?
Since Jiang Nuan, Mu Jiuchen had rarely lost his temper. Even during meetings, he had become much more amiable.
Business had been exceptionally good this year, and he expected to rank first on the global rich list.
This was also a gift he wanted to give his wife.
He had prepared many things. If Han Yifan were to ruin it in the end, he would be so angry he would kill Han Yifan.
Mu Jiuchen took a deep breath and walked towards the opposite room.
Jiang Nuan was sitting on the floor, fiddling with medicinal herbs. She was a person who couldn't sit idle, and she was very focused when she worked.
Her hair was long enough to tie up, and for convenience, she had tied it up high.
She lowered her eyes, meticulously dissecting the medicinal herbs.
Seeing her in the room, his tense heart instantly quieted down.
Jiang Nuan heard movement and looked up at Mu Jiuchen at the door, giving him a gentle smile. "Husband, have you finished your work?"
Mu Jiuchen strode in with his long legs.
He followed her example and sat down cross-legged beside her.
He tilted his head to look at the medicinal herbs in her hands. He didn't recognize any of them.
"Are you preparing Jidan for Ji Huaishu?"
Jiang Nuan nodded, her voice very calm. "It's a very complicated prescription. I've been preparing it for ten days, and I'm almost done today."
The medicinal herbs in her storeroom were not plentiful, but she had the basics.
"Your body isn't well, and you've exerted yourself again. I really don't know what to do with you." Mu Jiuchen's voice was tinged with reproach.
She must have secretly prepared it when he wasn't around.
Jiang Nuan smiled and said, "I can't just lie around either. I'm sitting on the floor doing it, and I'm almost finished. I'll go to the pharmacy later to make Jidan for Ji Huaishu. He saved my life, so I can't keep him waiting too long. He has a heart condition, which is why he needs Jidan."
Mu Jiuchen recalled Ji Huaishu's pale face. He indeed looked somewhat sickly. Mu Jiuchen suddenly remembered that tomorrow was the day to try on wedding dresses, and after thinking about it, he decided to have the wedding dress brought home to try on.
"Oh, right, wife, we're trying on wedding dresses tomorrow. Shall I have someone send it home? What do you think?"
