His tone was flat and devoid of emotion, but Mu Jiuchen still detected her anger.
He didn't understand why this anger had turned to him.
"Nuannuan, don't listen to her nonsense. I never promised to buy her a birthday gift?" Jiang Yuxin said this deliberately. Would he not understand her little scheme?
It seemed Jiang Yuxin had changed her strategy.
If his aunt wanted to play, he would indulge her. For his grandfather's sake, he had never intended to harm Mu Xue, but Jiang Nuan was his bottom line.
Jiang Yuxin wanted to use the previous incident to make Jiang Nuan misunderstand him further.
Jiang Nuan could naturally see through Jiang Yuxin's little scheme.
It was merely to warn Mu Jiuchen.
If Jiang Nuan believed in someone, she would trust them completely. However, in matters of the heart, she was sometimes hesitant.
Love was not like her life of fighting and killing; it was her spiritual solace. Mu Jiuchen was Jiang Nuan's safe harbor.
She cared deeply. It had to be said that any person could be controlled by emotions.
It was human nature!
Jiang Nuan slowly lay down, resting her head on his lap. She looked up at Mu Jiuchen's handsome, smiling, and doting face, and she also smiled gently, "From now on, I will trust you wholeheartedly because you are my husband!"
After she finished speaking, she smiled foolishly, a pure smile that instantly stirred Mu Jiuchen's cold and lonely heart.
He lowered his gaze, looking at her, smiling deeply and brilliantly. That gentle smile spread across his eyes, making one intoxicated.
"In this life, I will never fail my wife's trust!" Mu Jiuchen's long fingers weaved through her short hair.
Jiang Nuan looked at him with a touch of obsession, as if she could abandon everything for this moment, not thinking about the lives of others, not caring about Mission Number One, just wanting to be with him until the end of time.
She also believed that this man, who commanded the business world, could protect her for a lifetime!
Jiang Yuxin left Mu Jiuchen's house without getting into the car. Instead, she walked angrily in the snow.
After walking for nearly an hour, her anger subsided by half.
Her feet were in excruciating pain. Walking for an hour in high heels really hurt her feet.
She looked up and saw many couples walking side-by-side on the road ahead. Some held milk tea, some held sweet potatoes, some held oden, all walking hand-in-hand in the snow with contented and happy smiles.
Seeing such a scene made Jiang Yuxin even more furious.
She had once dreamed of such a scene.
Mu Jiuchen and she, walking hand-in-hand, would surely become the focus of the entire street, with everyone looking at them with envious eyes.
Mu Jiuchen was inherently a light that people couldn't look away from.
She wanted to use the events of that day to create ambiguity, to make Jiang Nuan continue to suspect him, and if their marital relationship broke down, she would have an opportunity.
Even the most stone-hearted man could be softened by gentleness!
Mu Xue had said so, and she believed it too.
But seeing the couple today, she felt it was too difficult. The difficulty lay in Mu Jiuchen treating Jiang Nuan as the love of his life!
She wished there was something like a "forgetfulness potion" so she could give it to Mu Jiuchen, and he would be hers.
Mu Jiuchen was her lifelong desire, and the closer she got, the more she couldn't bear to let go.
Looking at the ruthless, stern man, she also saw this gentle and watery side.
Jiang Yuxin gazed at the silvery world. Icicles hung from the eaves, and icicles hung from the trees. It was beautiful and sacred.
But why was her heart as cold as this icy world?
"Heh heh…" Jiang Yuxin chuckled. This pain was all brought to her by Jiang Nuan.
Thinking about the mysterious phone call that morning, her eyes turned fierce, and she made a silent decision in her heart.
She decided to cooperate with that person to deal with Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Yuxin found a deserted coffee shop and ordered a cup of hot coffee.
The heating in the coffee shop made her feel warm all over.
After warming herself with a cup of coffee, she took out her phone from her bag and dialed the mysterious phone number from that morning.
"Hello! I've made a decision. I'll cooperate with you." Her smile gradually turned cold.
From the other end, a hoarse voice replied, "Your decision will bring you good luck. I'll call you next time we cooperate."
…
After Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen were intimate at home for three days.
Jiang Nuan couldn't stand being idle any longer.
Mu Jiuchen had matters to attend to and had to go to the company today.
Not long after Mu Jiuchen left, a beautiful bouquet of roses was delivered.
After Jiang Nuan signed for it, her mood improved even further.
She carried the roses upstairs to her room and looked at the vibrant roses. These were flowers symbolizing love.
Mu Jiuchen had been sending her a bouquet of roses every day for the past few days.
She, who had always disdained such things, was now filled with happiness.
After admiring the roses for a while, she went to the kitchen to analyze everything.
After days of thought, almost all the events connected into a single line.
The most dangerous person at the moment was Li Qingfeng.
This man needed to be dealt with before Xia Xia's baby was born.
The fastest way to deal with him was to expose his weakness.
With this in mind, Jiang Nuan made a phone call to Li Qingshuo.
"Nuannuan."
Li Qingshuo was washing grapes for Yun Xia.
During yesterday's prenatal check-up, the doctor said the baby had good hair and would be a handsome young man when he was born.
This made him overjoyed. He took even better care of Yun Xia, eagerly awaiting the baby's birth at all times.
"Mmm!" Jiang Nuan sat leisurely in her swivel chair, her expression somewhat lazy. When she was alone, even the air seemed to flow with a suppressed aura.
"Qingshuo, I have some surprising news for you, news that can help you take down Li Qingfeng," Jiang Nuan said casually.
Li Qingshuo smiled. He hadn't gone to find Li Qingfeng during this time because he was taking care of Xia Xia.
But Nuannuan had found him.
"Nuannuan, thank you! You are truly our lucky star!"
Li Qingshuo was grateful to Jiang Nuan for a lifetime.
Jiang Nuan stood up and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside. Beneath the silvery world, there were also many dirty places.
"Li Qingshuo, once I get the evidence, I'll let you reap the benefits. What you need to do is take good care of Xia Xia," her voice deepened slightly.
Li Qingshuo could sense Jiang Nuan's concern for Yun Xia.
"Nuannuan, don't worry!" Li Qingshuo didn't say anything superfluous. "Don't worry" was his best promise.
Jiang Nuan smiled and hung up the phone, her face as cold as ice. This matter could not have any flaws. She had to dismantle their elaborate plan step by step.
She already had a detailed plan in mind.
She put down her phone and went to the bathroom. Half an hour later, she emerged having transformed into someone else.
She went directly to the garage and drove away in the car Mu Jiuchen had prepared for her.
Half an hour later, she was at the entrance of the Shi Yao Club.
Jiang Nuan glanced at the huge "Shi Yao" characters. Li Qingfeng had been appearing here frequently lately.
She parked the car, got out, and walked towards the club.
