"Susu, can you help me find out who the woman in Young Master He's car is? You know I came back this time specifically for him. I fell in love with him years ago, and this time, I don't want to miss out."
Lin Su looked at her intently. Seeing her resolute expression, Yan Xin was, truth be told, quite attractive. Although her family was wealthy, they were still far inferior to the He family.
She was not worthy of the He family at all. However, if it were Yan Xin, Lin Su was willing to help. It was better than some stranger.
"Okay, I'll pay attention. Brother Mingrun is also a very strong person. If you want to marry him, you'll probably need some tactics. First, win over his mother, and you'll be halfway there."
"But didn't you say his father and mother went on vacation?"
Lin Su smiled. "Don't forget the old madam. As long as you do your best to please her, and she gives her approval, Brother Mingrun naturally won't dare to say anything?"
Yan Xin understood.
"Thank you, Susu. You should keep up the good work too and marry Ninth Master soon."
Their relationship was good, and she knew Lin Su's thoughts.
Lin Su smiled confidently, her eyes narrowed, "Brother Chen can only be mine."
...
In the hospital, in a VIP ward.
Mu Jiuchen looked at Jiang Nuan sleeping soundly opposite him, his expression grim. The person taking care of him had fallen asleep before he did.
Heh...!
Mu Jiuchen sneered repeatedly, filled with annoyance. He wanted to talk to her about their child.
The daughter she mentioned doing live streams, "Qi Ru Ren Sheng," which had entered the top ten, was his daughter.
Ahhh, he had a little padded jacket. The little padded jacket must resemble him. She definitely resembled him.
Mu Jiuchen became excited again, very excited.
No, no, he couldn't get excited. He didn't want to faint again.
Mu Jiuchen composed himself and calmly looked at the little girl opposite him. She was sleeping deeply, seemingly very tired. She had fallen asleep shortly after lying down.
The phone under the pillow vibrated incessantly. After ringing twice, it stopped.
Meng Yuan looked at her phone, wondering why Jiang Nuan wasn't answering.
She sent her a message, saying she wouldn't come back and would be out of contact. What was going on?
"I haven't heard of any missions either! Could it be a sudden mission?" Meng Yuan muttered to herself.
"Alas! This girl only knows how to make money and doesn't know how to enjoy life properly." Meng Yuan felt heartbroken for Jiang Nuan.
Looking at the heavy "Xin Yi" in her arms, she didn't know who to share it with.
Xia Xia was abroad, so it was best not to bother her. It was already late at night there.
...
Jiang Nuan slept until she woke up naturally. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was met with glaring sunlight.
She suddenly remembered something and glanced at Mu Jiuchen's bed.
Huh...!
Where did this uncle go?
Jiang Nuan slowly got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went to the bathroom to wash up. She had slept soundly last night, and in the same room as Mu Jiuchen. She truly admired herself for being so carefree.
When she came out, she saw Mu Jiuchen entering with bags and bags of food containers.
The man was wearing a patient's gown. His figure was tall and upright, and the light blue gown looked somewhat ill-fitting on him. It was summer, so it wouldn't be cold.
"Uncle, you went to buy breakfast."
Mu Jiuchen looked at her, glad she had finally woken up.
He replied coldly, "Yes, I don't even know if I'm the one being taken care of or the one taking care of others."
Jiang Nuan: "..." He seemed to have a bad temper.
"Niece, come and eat breakfast."
Jiang Nuan's footsteps paused. Being called "niece" sent shivers down her spine. "Uncle, no, Ninth Master, I won't take advantage of you."
Mu Jiuchen was stunned. Was the problem of being called "uncle" resolved just like that?
Why hadn't he used this method earlier? A faint smile appeared on his cold face and his ruby lips.
"Alright, alright, Nuannuan, come and eat." As long as she didn't call him "uncle," everything could be resolved.
Heaven knew that in his dreams last night, he had only seen scenes of Jiang Nuan calling him "uncle." He had woken up this morning with a sense of dread.
He couldn't sleep, so he had to go out and buy breakfast himself.
He still had to undergo examinations later. His little finger had swollen like a steamed bun this morning.
Jiang Nuan then walked over with a smile, looked at the beef noodle soup in his hands, took it, and said, "Uncle... no, Ninth Master, let me add some seasoning for you."
Under Mu Jiuchen's suddenly cold gaze, she immediately corrected herself.
Habits were truly terrifying. Ahhh!
"Mmm!" Mu Jiuchen nodded.
Jiang Nuan looked at him deeply. Mu Jiuchen, the helmsman of the Mu family, also had hidden pain. One could see from his eyes that he was a lonely person without happiness.
In fact, everyone had a secret corner in their hearts that they didn't want anyone to enter, because it held untold pain. Once discovered, it would be unbearable.
Mu Jiuchen also had such a life.
Jiang Nuan lowered her head, a smile on her face, and slowly added seasoning to the beef noodle soup. Mu Jiuchen had bought the seasoning separately. She did it very seriously, as if she were the only person left in the world.
Mu Jiuchen watched the scene unfold, as if he were back in that cold night years ago when the little girl was also seasoning his food so diligently.
Then, Mu Jiuchen saw Jiang Nuan share some of the beef noodle soup from her bowl into his.
"Ninth Master, it's done. Eat." Jiang Nuan sat down and looked at him.
The world seemed to snap back to reality. Mu Jiuchen found it strange, why did he have this feeling?
He slowly sat down, looked at the girl opposite him with a faint smile, and lowered his head to slurp the noodles.
His left hand was injured, but he could still eat by himself.
After the first bite, Mu Jiuchen suddenly looked up at her. Why, at this moment, did he feel that sense of happiness from back then?
That sense of happiness echoed warmly in his heart, replacing all his negative emotions.
Her seasoning was like a special magic, making it irresistible.
Was it because of her thoughtfulness? She had been very serious just now, just like when she was examining a patient. It was as if the sky were falling, and it wouldn't disturb her world.
Mu Jiuchen didn't eat. He silently finished the bowl of beef noodle soup. He usually didn't eat these, but he ate beef noodle soup because Jiang Nuan liked it.
After finishing the bowl of rice noodles, Mu Jiuchen's heart was filled with happiness. Every cell in his body seemed to radiate a strong sense of happiness.
Mu Jiuchen watched Jiang Nuan finish eating too. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a knock on the door.
"Knock, knock..."
Mu Jiuchen turned his head, annoyance flashing in his eyes. Who was the inconsiderate person to come at this time?
Jiang Nuan tidied up the leftover food and put it in the trash can. She also opened the door.
She saw Xia Yingying and Tang Ziyi standing outside. Behind the mother and daughter stood a handsome and cool man.
Jiang Nuan was a little surprised. "Yingying, Sister Yiyi, why are you here?"
Tang Ziyi smiled gently and glanced at her husband behind her. "Nuannuan, my husband heard that Mu Jiuchen was hospitalized and wanted to come and see him."
Jiang Nuan looked at Xia Mingrui and greeted him generously. "Hello, Mr. Xia. Please come in!"
Xia Mingrui nodded.
Mu Jiuchen looked at the family of three entering, a little surprised.
He said with a teasing tone, "Oh! Mr. Xia, what wind blows the 'Jealous President' here?"
