He Mingrun asked excitedly, "Yuan Yuan, what's the surprise?"
"I already said it's a surprise, so it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you," Meng Yuan's voice softened considerably.
"Then I'll come to you right now. I can't wait to know this surprise," He Mingrun said, getting up from the bed.
Hearing the faint sounds, Meng Yuan immediately stopped him. "Don't come over now. You won't see me even if you do. Wait until I'm back. I'm on a mission right now and can't be disturbed by you."
"I won't disturb you," He Mingrun had already put on his shoes and was about to change clothes.
"He Mingrun, be good. Your hands and feet are injured, can't you just be more settled and let me have peace of mind?" Meng Yuan's tone carried a hint of anger.
He Mingrun stopped in his tracks, his mood lifting at the thought of her visit a few days prior.
"Yuan Yuan, why didn't you wait for me to come back? I've finished all the dumplings. Yuan Yuan's dumplings are the most delicious dumplings in the world."
"Heh heh..." Meng Yuan was amused by his words.
"He Mingrun, you're getting better and better at talking. Go to sleep quickly. I miss you too, but I have something to do now and can't come back," Meng Yuan coaxed him gently.
He Mingrun listened, his heart melting. Yuan Yuan was so gentle.
If she were by his side, he would definitely kiss her properly, until she begged for mercy.
"Then when will you be back? If you can't come back, I'll go see you," He Mingrun felt like he was about to break down.
Not seeing her, not hearing her voice, that feeling of the world collapsing – he didn't want to experience it again.
"There are still a few days left before the one-month deadline. Just a few more days. He Mingrun, the company I'm investigating now has your name as the legal representative." This was why she took the mission at the time.
"What?" He Mingrun was stunned.
"How is that possible? I don't have any biotechnology companies," He Mingrun was shocked.
So, at that time, even though she was very sad and upset, she still accepted the mission.
It was precisely because she saw his name as the legal representative.
"I know it's not your company, but someone issued the mission. The other party doesn't know that you and I know each other. I'm your girlfriend. I've found some clues now, so you can't come find me," Meng Yuan commanded him sternly.
"Yuan Yuan, aren't you very dangerous then?" He Mingrun grew more anxious with every word he heard.
"No, it's not dangerous. As long as they don't know our relationship, I'm very safe. Do you understand, He Mingrun?" Meng Yuan called out in a low voice, then softly comforted him, "He Mingrun, will you be good? I'll come back once I've sorted things out here."
"But I'm worried about you." He wanted to be good, but he was worried about her.
"Alright, He Mingrun, I'm going to sleep. You should go to sleep quickly too. Goodnight!" Meng Yuan was truly exhausted.
"Okay! Yuan Yuan, you go to sleep quickly. I'll sleep after you do," He Mingrun's voice was gentle, but his heart had already flown to her side.
"Mhm!" Meng Yuan hung up the phone.
He Mingrun placed his phone on his chest, so excited he was at a loss for what to do. "Ahhh... Yuan Yuan forgave me. She forgave me."
He Mingrun rolled around excitedly on the bed, forgetting about his injured arm. When he pressed on it, a sharp pain made him gasp.
He Mingrun pouted. Was this what extreme joy turning into sorrow felt like?
He Mingrun excitedly posted a message in the group chat.
[My wife has forgiven me.]
However, it was late at night, and no one responded to him.
He Mingrun could only enjoy his happiness alone, unable to sleep all night.
Noon!
Jiang Nuan opened her eyes. The heavy snow had stopped, and piercing sunlight streamed in through the window.
It was so bright that she couldn't open her eyes.
She moved slightly and blinked her eyes before realizing that her waist was no longer her own.
"Ah!" it ached and hurt.
Jiang Nuan couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
"Nuan Nuan, still tired?" a magnetic voice asked.
Jiang Nuan's eyes shot towards Mu Jiuchen, who was sitting by the bed, looking at her with a refreshed smile.
Jiang Nuan instantly felt it was unfair. Her stamina was also good, but why was she tired while he was so energetic?
"Why are you so full of energy?" Jiang Nuan looked at him with a hint of complaint.
Mu Jiuchen's smile turned a little more wicked. Thinking of her passionate self last night, his smile deepened even further. "Because I'm a man, a natural advantage."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
Mu Jiuchen's long fingers gently caressed her rosy cheeks. This face was truly beautiful!
Jiang Nuan batted his hand away and slowly sat up, massaging her temples. Feeling uncomfortable again, she lay back down.
"Can I lie down a bit longer?" Last night was too wild.
"Okay! I'll come up to call you in half an hour. What do you want to eat for lunch?" Mu Jiuchen looked at her with doting eyes.
Jiang Nuan thought for a moment, then looked at him, pulling his broad palm. "I don't really have anything special I want to eat."
Mu Jiuchen smiled. "Then I'll decide?"
"Mhm..." Jiang Nuan closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Since she was poisoned, her body had been very fatigued, and she could fall asleep whenever she wanted to.
Mu Jiuchen pulled the quilt up for her, his lips curling upwards. He leaned down and kissed her lips before getting up to leave.
Downstairs, Xiao Fan was already waiting for him.
He walked towards him with a fawning smile.
"Ninth Master, congratulations on finally being out of the bachelor club."
Mu Jiuchen glanced at him indifferently, his voice tinged with excitement. "Although it's a bit late, I still have to thank you! May you find your beloved person soon."
Then, his sexy lips curved into a proud smile.
Xiao Fan: "..." He had wanted to say congratulations that day, but he was kicked out of the car.
As for finding a girlfriend, he wouldn't even mention it. Being busy as a dog, he wasn't qualified to talk about relationships.
"How's the investigation into the car accident?" Mu Jiuchen's expression turned grim. That day's events had come too suddenly.
His head was still throbbing slightly today.
Speaking of business, Xiao Fan's expression also turned as dark as water. "The vehicle was a scrapped car. It was scrapped the day before the accident. We found the owner, and the owner said the car was taken to the scrapyard and he hadn't seen it since."
"I went to the place where scrapped vehicles are kept again. That car was stolen the night before."
Mu Jiuchen's cold gaze fell on him. "So, the lead is dead?"
Xiao Fan was also at his wit's end. The culprits had covered their tracks very cleanly in recent events.
It made it difficult for him to find out who they were.
"Ninth Master, it's not entirely without leads. We caught the driver who caused the accident. He was drunk driving, but he didn't steal the car. He found the car by the roadside. According to his statement, he was drunk and crashed the car into your car."
Mu Jiuchen's gaze became even grimmer. "It's impossible that it was just drunk driving. They wanted to kill us. Go and bring that person out. I'll interrogate him myself."
Xiao Fan understood. "Master, I'll do it now."
Mu Jiuchen: "Mhm! First, help me order a bouquet of roses."
"Huh!" Xiao Fan was startled for a moment, looking at Mu Jiuchen in surprise.
"Master, have you finally learned to be romantic?"
Mu Jiuchen looked at him with confusion, asking uncertainly, "In your eyes, have I always been unromantic?"
