Mu Jiu Chen’s smile deepened, and looking at her slightly dazed eyes, he winked at her, his low voice tinged with playfulness, "You're destined to be incomplete without me."
Jiang Nuan blinked her innocent eyes, finding his words rather alluring.
Was this something Mu Jiu Chen would say?
"Hey… Master, why would I be incomplete without you? I'm incomplete without money!"
After speaking, Jiang Nuan continued to apply the ointment. Her medicine was very effective, and she wouldn't need to come tomorrow as she would recover quickly.
She could then focus on preparing for the opening.
Mu Jiu Chen found it amusing. By marrying him and becoming his wife, wouldn't all his money be hers? She could walk sideways across all of Asia. Why wasn't this little girl smarter when it mattered?
"By the way, Master Jiu, about the concert I asked you to arrange last time, how is it going?"
A hint of displeasure crossed Mu Jiu Chen's face. Since when did a minor celebrity under his company's banner have to compete with him for attention?
"Mm! I'll have Xiao Fan arrange that matter."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan was overjoyed. "Thank you, Master Jiu. Yuan Yuan also likes Meng Yun Tao very much. Five tickets should be enough."
Mu Jiu Chen remained silent. Meng Yun Tao wasn't particularly outstanding, and his personal life was a mess. Only his acting was somewhat watchable.
"Alright, Master Jiu, I won't come tomorrow?"
"Why?" Mu Jiu Chen looked at her quietly.
"Because I don't need to apply the medicine anymore. I have great confidence in my medicine. You won't be in pain tomorrow."
Mu Jiu Chen: "..." No, I wish I were in pain.
"Oh!" His face showed little expression.
"Help me get dressed!"
Hearing this request again, Jiang Nuan instantly jumped up. Recalling yesterday's scene, her small face flushed crimson.
She looked at the man gazing at her lazily, a hint of teasing mixed with seriousness.
"Your hand… doesn't it hurt less now? Can't you dress yourself?" Jiang Nuan didn't know what was happening to her; she stammered whenever the topic of dressing came up.
Mu Jiu Chen lowered his head, looking at his injured finger with a thoughtful expression. He glanced at Jiang Nuan indifferently. "I felt a lot of pain just now. You did it on purpose, so you'll have to come tomorrow." His tone was flat but conveyed an undeniable authority.
Jiang Nuan hadn't expected him to see through her thoughts. Despite her own resilience, she was still no match for Mu Jiu Chen.
Resigned, she went to the walk-in closet and picked out a black suit and a white shirt for Mu Jiu Chen. She preferred him in white shirts; they were much more pleasing to her eyes than black ones.
Seeing her obedient demeanor, Mu Jiu Chen smirked inwardly with a touch of cunning.
With yesterday's experience, Jiang Nuan kept her head down throughout the process of helping him dress, completing it at an extremely fast pace.
Because of her haste, the suit sleeve rolled up and caught on Mu Jiu Chen's injured little finger. It hadn't hurt before, but now, with the sudden force, he let out a muffled groan of pain, "Jiang Nuan!" Mu Jiu Chen, unable to suppress his pain, became angry. "Are you getting revenge on me?"
Jiang Nuan blinked her innocent eyes, her long, curled eyelashes trembling slightly. She quickly defended herself, "Master, I really didn't do it on purpose."
She just wanted to finish this agonizing dressing process quickly.
Mu Jiu Chen didn't believe her. He thought to himself: This little girl holds grudges.
He looked at her with a half-smile. "You did it on purpose, on purpose to hit my heart."
The esteemed gentleman was fuming. His first sentence was filled with anger, but the next twisted around, starting to flirt in his usual way.
Jiang Nuan's innocent eyes eventually turned wary and angry.
Was this master playing with her?
A flicker of anger crossed her eyes, and she yelled at him, "Yes, I did it on purpose! Hurry up and put it on! How can you be so slow about dressing?"
Jiang Nuan was furious, extremely furious. If she didn't owe him her life, would she, Jiang Nuan, be so easy to deal with?
This Mu Jiu Chen was truly pushing his luck!
"Oh!" Mu Jiu Chen obediently started putting on the other sleeve. This alternation between coldness and gentleness made Jiang Nuan unable to figure him out.
She couldn't be bothered to think too much and, putting away her backpack, walked out.
Seeing her angry, Mu Jiu Chen felt he had been a bit excessive.
He had intended to trick her, but ended up falling into his own trap.
Jiang Nuan still stayed to have lunch with Mu Jiu Chen before leaving.
Mu Jiu Chen didn't have time either; he had an important meeting. After Jiang Nuan left, he also went out.
The servants watched them leave. One of them went into the garden to make a phone call and then furtively returned to work.
Jiang Nuan was busy with her wellness center and needed to buy some ingredients, so she headed directly to a nearby supermarket.
It wasn't the weekend, so the supermarket wasn't crowded. She went straight to the food section and selected some beans, seaweed, and other dried ingredients.
An hour later, Jiang Nuan had a full shopping cart.
She was a bit thirsty and saw mineral water for sale near the checkout counter. As she pushed her cart over and took a bottle from the refrigerator, her hand slipped, and the bottle rolled onto the floor. Jiang Nuan bent down to pick it up when a pair of beautiful high heels suddenly stepped on it.
Jiang Nuan looked up abruptly. Lin Su was looking down at her.
She was wearing a white dress, a white sun hat, and a mask.
Jiang Nuan slowly stood up, let out a short, cold laugh, and lightly pressed a switch on her collar.
Lin Su also had a mischievous grin and kicked the water bottle back towards Jiang Nuan with her elegant high heel.
Jiang Nuan's expression turned cold. Was this little white lotus seeking trouble?
"This young lady is in a good mood. I'll bestow this bottle of water upon you." Her arrogant voice was filled with disdain.
"Is that all the manners Miss Lin, the big star, has?"
"What? You little slut, you don't like this two-yuan bottle of mineral water?" Lin Su whispered to her.
Jiang Nuan sneered, "It's been touched by a dog, and I find it dirty."
Lin Su's face changed drastically. Where did this Jiang Nuan get the audacity to call her a dog?
"Jiang Nuan, are you looking for death?"
Lin Su had been a pampered little princess since childhood, and no one had ever spoken such harsh words to her.
She waved to the two bodyguards behind her and smiled sinisterly, "Take her away."
Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes. She was her target. Her intuition was accurate; this little white lotus was here to cause trouble for her because of Mu Jiu Chen.
People like this had to be dealt with once and for all.
Seeing the two men in suits and ties approach her, her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. "Don't touch me, I'll go with you."
Lin Su sneered, her arrogant tone unrestrained, "Jiang Nuan, consider yourself sensible. Later, I'll let you experience what it's like to fight with me, Lin Su, for a man. Take her to Red Garden Apartment and find some beggars to serve her."
Jiang Nuan glanced at her calmly. This woman, despite her beauty, was so vicious. She wouldn't blame herself for being impolite.
"J, you've been kidnapped."
A voice came from the hidden earpiece.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
Did she need to state such an obvious fact?
She still softly replied, "Mm."
"J, wait, I'll come to rescue you right away."
Jiang Nuan thought to herself: Thanks, but I'm not someone to be trifled with. I'll get my revenge myself.
Wouldn't it be more fun to let the good show begin?
