Jiang Nuan turned, picked up her phone. The number was unlisted.
"Hello…"
"Miss Jiang, I wasn't finished speaking."
It was Jiang Siyu again.
"My words are finished," Jiang Nuan said while on the phone.
"Jiang Nuan, let's meet. I only need five minutes, just five minutes," Jiang Siyu's voice was gentler than before, suggesting she was truly anxious.
Jiang Nuan's voice was cold and low, "Then speak. I'll give you five minutes. If you can convince me, I'll help you."
"Wife, breakfast is ready, almost done. Hurry up and wash up," Mu Jiuchen's voice came from the kitchen.
"Coming right up."
She walked to the bathroom, still on the phone.
"You…"
"Hurry up and say what you need to say." Jiang Nuan was hungry and lacked patience.
She entered the bathroom with quick steps.
"Jiang Nuan, I hope you can convince Mu Jiuchen to continue cooperating with our company. I really need his cooperation." Jiang Siyu called about the cooperation again.
She hadn't had a chance to get close to Jiang Nuan's children. She had originally planned to kidnap Jiang Nuan's children, then rescue them, making Mu Jiuchen grateful and agree to cooperate.
But the two children were too formidable, and she hadn't managed to get her hands on them.
Jiang Nuan said angrily, "Jiang Siyu, can't you understand plain language? I won't interfere with work matters. Find Mu Jiuchen."
Her voice was a bit loud, and Mu Jiuchen, who had come out of the kitchen, heard this.
Jiang Siyu's pleading attitude made her angry. This person had never shown him respect.
It was simply because she felt Jiang Nuan wasn't good enough for Mu Jiuchen.
There wasn't a trace of respect in her words or demeanor.
The circumstances were different, and she didn't blame anyone.
But Jiang Siyu's shamelessness truly opened her eyes.
She found Jiang Siyu to be very contradictory – looking down on her yet asking for her help.
It was probably because Jiang Nuan appeared easy to bully.
"Jiang Nuan, don't get angry yet. This cooperation is very important for both of us. Mu Corporation's products can directly enter the market through our company, which would be a shortcut for Ninth Master…"
Before Jiang Siyu could finish speaking, her phone was snatched away.
Jiang Nuan looked at Mu Jiuchen, frowning slightly.
Mu Jiuchen's voice was cold, "Mr. Jiang, if you disturb my wife again, don't blame me for being impolite."
Mu Jiuchen hung up the phone for her and said, holding the phone, "Wife, you go wash up quickly. I'll handle this."
Jiang Nuan didn't want to get involved and went to wash up.
She was quick because she was very hungry.
Seeing two decent bowls of beef noodles on the table, Jiang Nuan smiled at him, "Husband, your cooking is getting better and better."
Mu Jiuchen's eyes showed a gentle glow. "For you, I'm willing to learn anything. I can't let you be the only one busy in the kitchen; I need to share the burden."
Neither of them liked having servants at home.
Especially after Jiang Nuan was bullied by a servant last time, it made him very angry.
Jiang Nuan preferred to do everything herself, always feeling uncomfortable with another person in the house. He felt the same way.
Therefore, whether it was cooking or housework, he would share it with her.
Jiang Nuan happily ate breakfast. Mu Jiuchen used a pressure cooker for the beef, and the rice noodles were fresh. A sprinkle of chopped green onions and cilantro made them exceptionally delicious.
After eating her fill, Jiang Nuan felt full of energy.
She looked at the romantic atmosphere filling the room and was reluctant to leave.
"Husband, why don't we stay here until these flowers wither before we go back? It's so beautiful here! I don't want to leave."
Seeing her delight, Mu Jiuchen said, "That won't do. Mother won't allow it. She just called and told me to hurry back, saying the food outside isn't nutritious and that you should come home for a nutritious meal."
"Heh heh…" Jiang Nuan chuckled. Her mother was indeed worried about her. "Then let's go back. These flowers will wither in a couple of days, what a pity."
Mu Jiuchen replied, "It's not a pity. As long as you agree to marry me, everything is worth it."
Fresh flowers are available every day, but in this world, there is only one Jiang Nuan!
His original plan was for tomorrow night, but he was afraid the flowers wouldn't be fresh, and worried about Han Yifan causing trouble, which led to this sudden proposal.
These flowers were delivered from various places this morning, all the freshest.
It was meant to be a surprise for her.
"Okay! Then let's go home. I have things to do today."
Mu Jiuchen's eyes darkened sharply. "You're not allowed to do anything today. When we get home, you'll go rest. You didn't sleep until 2 AM last night and woke up early today. Don't ruin your health."
Jiang Nuan said playfully, "I can't sleep when you're not here. Come back early tonight and sleep with me."
These words warmed Mu Jiuchen's heart. He also slept poorly without her. "Alright! I only have three meetings today. I'll be back after the meetings."
"Okay! Let's go home." Jiang Nuan stood up, casting one last look at the romantic room. She took a video; it would be a sweet memory in the future.
Another bright, sunny day. The morning breeze was cool.
Xiao Fan was already waiting in his car downstairs. Mu Jiuchen took her hand and got into the car.
Xiao Fan looked at the refreshed master, thinking he must have had a blissful night.
Ahhh… he was also looking forward to his proposal.
It was just not as romantic as the master's.
The master had said, "Xiao Fan, I'm going to propose. It's just me and my wife. My wife doesn't like crowds and gets shy. I'm afraid she'll be too shy and refuse me, so you arrange it."
Then he handed him a stack of photos and said, "Each rose should have a photo of her growing up. This is the process of us getting to know each other, and it's also the witness to our happiness. Don't lose any of these photos."
"The flowers must be the freshest. No candles, only golden fairy lights. Simple and romantic. My wife doesn't like extravagance."
So, in fact, he had prepared quite simply.
It was just flowers and fairy lights.
And falling petals.
Indeed, the master succeeded and understood his lady's preferences perfectly. As the saying goes, cater to her desires, and all your wishes will be granted!
"Master, Madam, congratulations!" Xiao Fan said excitedly.
Jiang Nuan looked at him. The smile on his profile was filled with excitement. "Thank you, Xiao Fan! How are you and Le Cheng? When do you plan to propose?"
"Heh heh…" Speaking of his girlfriend, Xiao Fan became very animated. "Madam, after you get married and return to Jinshi City, I'll propose. I'm not young anymore, and it's high time I got married and had children. If my mother were still alive, she would have been nagging me about it."
Jiang Nuan knew that Xiao Fan had no parents, and Le Cheng was also an orphan. "Xiao Fan, Le Cheng, Qiao Xi, they are all orphans, but they have a connection with you and Chen Feng. You love each other now, and you must cherish each other even more in the future. As long as I'm here, I won't let them be bullied."
Xiao Fan understood Jiang Nuan's meaning. Finding a wife was so difficult nowadays.
Le Cheng didn't mind him and was willing to marry him. He was already overjoyed, so how could he bully her?
"Madam, you can rest assured. I will take good care of Le Cheng and won't let her suffer any grievances," Xiao Fan said very seriously.
Jiang Nuan also knew his character and didn't say anything further.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Lu family's mansion, Jiang Nuan got out of the car, telling Mu Jiuchen to go to the company.
"Jiang Nuan." Just as she was about to open the door and go in, someone called out to her.
