Jiang Nuan's eyes flickered, not quite believing him. "Did something happen?"
Thinking about it, he was supposed to meet the person responsible for the car accident today.
Mu Jiuchen was in a good mood today, having been tricked by Lin Su. Usually, he was the one playing tricks on others, and today being on the receiving end felt…unpleasant!
Mu Jiuchen told Jiang Nuan what had happened today.
After listening, Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes. Lin Su… she truly hadn't expected it to be her. She really was full of surprises.
Seeing his low spirits, Jiang Nuan pinched the firm flesh on his waist and said, "Is this little thing enough to bother you?"
Mu Jiuchen shook his head slightly. "I was too careless. I could have caught them all in one go, but Lin Su exploited a loophole in the law and extricated herself completely."
His tone was filled with unwillingness.
Jiang Nuan smiled, stood on tiptoe, and placed a kiss on his lips, soothing his emotions.
This kiss indeed helped to calm Mu Jiuchen's restless heart.
He lowered his gaze, looking at her smiling face. Lately, her smile had been so beautiful, so full of happiness!
His woman, Jiang Nuan, deserved to be this happy!
"Nuannuan, what are you making? It smells delicious?" Mu Jiuchen asked, looking at the stew pot.
Jiang Nuan turned back to continue chopping vegetables. "Braised ribs. Dinner will be ready soon. You should go change first."
"Okay, wife." Mu Jiuchen was very obedient.
Turning, he saw He Mingrun standing at the kitchen doorway, looking surprised and somewhat taken aback. "Why are you here?"
Why now, of all times? It was almost time for their intimate dinner.
He Mingrun cast a brief glance at him. Thinking of what he had just witnessed, his eyes were filled with envy. If it weren't for Yang Minjing's schemes, He Mingrun would be living in bliss every single day.
Going out to work with Yuan Yuan, grocery shopping and cooking together, doing many things together. Even when busy, seeing her sweet and happy smile would make all his fatigue disappear, enjoying all her gentle and caring attentions.
"I need to talk to you about something."
After greeting Jiang Nuan, He Mingrun went with Mu Jiuchen to the living room.
Mu Jiuchen gestured for him to sit down. He went upstairs to change into comfortable clothes and came back down, pouring He Mingrun a cup of hot tea.
Mu Jiuchen looked at his leg, frowning with concern. "You're still limping. What are you doing out in this snowy weather?"
He Mingrun just wanted to go out for some fresh air; he was too lonely by himself.
"I missed you!" He Mingrun said with a faint smile.
Mu Jiuchen scoffed. "You probably missed Meng Yuan."
He Mingrun's smile faltered slightly, tinged with bitterness. "I do miss her. Seeing that scene just now made me so envious. Among the few of us, I used to be the happiest. But now, you are the happiest."
Mu Jiuchen smiled proudly. He relished his current happiness.
Jiang Nuan came out with the dishes, looking at Mu Jiuchen and He Mingrun. "Come eat."
After saying that, she returned to the kitchen to get more dishes.
Jiang Nuan loved to cook and would ponder over delicious food when she had free time.
Mu Jiuchen stood up and looked at He Mingrun. "You're in for a treat."
He Mingrun: "..."
The three sat down to eat. Three dishes and one soup, very ample. Chicken soup, braised ribs, and stir-fried melon shreds. He Mingrun ate very happily. Such home-cooked meals were true happiness.
Jiang Nuan glanced at He Mingrun and asked, "Young Master He, are your injuries feeling any better?"
He Mingrun looked at her and smiled gratefully. "Nuannuan, thanks to your medicine, I'm much better now. I don't even need a cane, and I can move my hand freely."
Jiang Nuan had great confidence in her medicine. "Then continue taking it. In about another week, you can stop. There won't be any after-effects."
"Okay!" He had been diligently taking the medicine.
All three were accustomed to eating in silence, and they ate very elegantly.
After the meal, the three moved to the living room. Jiang Nuan brewed some Da Hong Pao tea. In her leisure time, she also enjoyed drinking tea and chatting in a quiet life.
He Mingrun savored a sip of tea, looking at Jiang Nuan. "Nuannuan, you're truly capable of anything."
"It's nothing, just life's pressures," she replied. If she couldn't do anything, she would just starve to death.
Having been capable of everything since childhood, it was simply a matter of survival.
He Mingrun, fearing he might touch a sore spot for Jiang Nuan, didn't dwell on the topic. Instead, he looked seriously at Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen.
"Yuan Yuan is currently investigating C.h Technology Company, and the legal representative's name is mine."
Mu Jiuchen looked at him, confused and surprised. "Are you sure it's you, and not someone with the same name?"
This C.h Company had amassed considerable wealth in the past six months. Relevant departments had been investigating, but no loopholes were found.
He Mingrun nodded. "It's confirmed, it's my real name and ID number. They are truly audacious."
Jiang Nuan slightly bit her lower lip. So this was the reason Yuan Yuan had left so decisively.
"We've been keeping an eye on C.h for a long time. The legal representative was always a foreigner. Why did it suddenly become you?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Nuan couldn't help but worry about Meng Yuan. "It seems we've alerted them. The other party knew we were investigating, so they played a trick of changing the names. But it's puzzling why they would use your name. You don't have any pharmaceutical companies under your name, so it would be difficult to conceal anything."
Mu Jiuchen's expression darkened, and he said with a cold smile, "Unless this person's status is extremely high, capable of controlling everything, and yet remains untraceable by us."
The moment Mu Jiuchen thought of this, he immediately linked it to Lu Qiaoyi's stolen corpse.
As Mu Jiuchen thought of it, Jiang Nuan also did.
Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes slightly, her long, phoenix-like eyes filled with shock. "If that person can truly cover up everything with one hand, then Lu Qiaoyi's matter would make sense."
"So, what did we miss?" Mu Jiuchen couldn't figure it out. Who had he overlooked?
He lowered his gaze, lost in thought, his gaze sharp.
Jiang Nuan couldn't recall for a moment what they had overlooked.
The conflict months ago had seen the Yang family and Li He apprehended.
Unless there was someone behind the Yang family, or someone they had offended?
Jiang Nuan tried to connect the dots but found it difficult to make sense of everything.
She could only remind the two of them, "You two need to be as careful as possible. I have a feeling they are targeting both of you, and also me. All sorts of accidents could happen."
He Mingrun's heart pounded with
