Mu Jiu Chen walked in with a dark expression, standing beside her, his crisp aura alluring, enveloping Jiang Nuan completely.
He looked down at her, but remained silent.
Jiang Nuan knew he was still angry; this man simply wouldn't speak when he was upset.
However, she had no idea why Mu Jiu Chen was angry.
She could only wait for Mu Jiu Chen to tell her himself why he was angry.
Jiang Nuan watched him stand there, then gestured to a stool opposite him, "Sit!"
Mu Jiu Chen's voice was deep, "No!" His tone still carried anger.
Jiang Nuan continued sorting the medicinal herbs, "Then you can stand." Her voice held a smile, tenderness in her eyes and brows.
But Jiang Nuan kept her head down, so Mu Jiu Chen couldn't see.
Mu Jiu Chen didn't disturb her as she prepared the medicine, standing by her side until she had finished sorting all the herbs and packed them into small bags.
Only then did Jiang Nuan look up at Mu Jiu Chen.
"When we go tomorrow morning, take these herbs with us. I need to use Li Yan Heng's laboratory. Your brother is also a little prodigy in the medical field. After graduating, he didn't work in a hospital but started his own company for research, specializing in medicinal herbs. He's quite a conscientious businessman; the medicines his company develops are made with real ingredients and are very effective."
Mu Jiu Chen frowned slightly. Indeed, loving someone too much made him jealous when he heard her mention another man, even if it was her brother.
"Mm!" He gave a faint hum, still not speaking, just standing close to Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan sealed all the herbs before standing up, looking at him, then proactively wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up, asking, "Why are you still unhappy?"
Her initiative instantly dissolved the anger in Mu Jiu Chen's heart.
However, his expression remained unchanged.
Mu Jiu Chen didn't have the courage to admit that he was angry out of hurt.
He shook his head slightly, looking down at her bright eyes. How could these eyes be so beautiful?
Jiang Nuan reached out and pinched his high nose, saying with a smile, "When you're angry, you don't talk. Haven't you noticed? You just stare at people."
"I don't," Mu Jiu Chen denied, though his eyes were indeed fixed on Jiang Nuan.
He was a proud man; if he wouldn't admit it, so be it. Men couldn't be spoiled, or it would never end.
She rarely got a few days of leisure.
"Let's go rest." Jiang Nuan let go of him and took his hand, which was twice the size of hers, to walk.
Mu Jiu Chen followed her upstairs, returning to the room. Jiang Nuan climbed onto the bed and snuggled into the covers.
Mu Jiu Chen immediately knew she was cold. He reached for the remote to turn on the heating, but Jiang Nuan quickly stopped him, "No need, you're here, you're a big warm furnace."
Mu Jiu Chen: "..."
He quietly sat beside her and pulled her into his embrace.
Jiang Nuan immediately felt a warmth, looked up at him, her eyes and brows filled with a gentle smile, "You know, if you feel bad, you don't say it, how would I know? I'm not a mind reader, I can't know your inner thoughts all the time. We lack communication."
Mu Jiu Chen didn't think so. He said reluctantly in a hoarse voice, "You don't love me enough."
He knew what she was thinking and what she wanted to do.
He cared, and that's why he was sad and angry.
Jiang Nuan was genuinely taken aback by his words.
"You don't love me enough!" From this sentence alone, one could tell how wronged Mu Jiu Chen felt.
She smiled, her pale face displaying a charming smile, "Mu Jiu Chen, the reason I didn't go get the marriage certificate with you was to give myself time to understand you and fall in love with you. The first time I saw you, my heart had already bowed down. Your looks first conquered me."
Mu Jiu Chen was stunned for the first time hearing her say something like this. When he reacted, he looked at her excitedly.
"Really?" His voice was tense and expectant.
He was nervous she might be joking, but expectant that she truly liked and loved him!
They were both people who didn't understand love; in relationships, they followed their hearts. From the beginning, he wanted everything to be connected to her, and then he would slowly make her like him.
He wanted to trick her into his trap!
Now, hearing her say that she liked his face from the first time she saw him, how could he not be happy?
Jiang Nuan nodded, then after a moment's thought, added, "It should be the second time after you grew up. The first time, I bumped into you at the door but didn't see clearly. The second time, I bumped into your car. When you got out of the car, I saw your long legs, so handsome and alluring, and I instantly fell for you."
Mu Jiu Chen: "..."
Was he not her first?
To her, he was always number one!
One thing, that night, they were both experiencing it for the first time. Thinking of it this way, he felt much more balanced.
But Mu Jiu Chen felt wronged again, his liver aching with anger!
Mu Jiu Chen moved his legs, settling next to her, looking down at her.
Jiang Nuan felt his warm body temperature and blinked her eyes at him.
A rare blush appeared on Mu Jiu Chen's handsome face, and he said in a hurried tone, "If you like it, I'll give it to you." After saying that, he leaned his entire body towards her and added, "I'll give my whole self to you."
Jiang Nuan: "..." She looked at him, amused.
Then, before Jiang Nuan could speak, Mu Jiu Chen had already collapsed into her arms.
Jiang Nuan extended her slender fingers, gently weaving through his dark hair.
Mu Jiu Chen felt a sense of comfort, an experience he had never had before. The corners of his lips couldn't help but turn upwards.
This warm Nuan loved him so much!
Waves of emotion surged through Mu Jiu Chen's heart, continuously stirring him, fierce and intense.
"Nuan Nuan," Mu Jiu Chen called her, then quietly looked at her.
Jiang Nuan looked down at him. He nuzzled his head against her before saying, "Nuan Nuan, let's go get the marriage certificate when we get back, okay?"
Jiang Nuan thought about it and agreed, as she wouldn't marry any man other than Mu Jiu Chen.
Mu Jiu Chen was extremely good to her and their child.
This time, she nodded and agreed without hesitation, "Mu Jiu Chen, when we get back, we'll get the marriage certificate."
Hearing this, Mu Jiu Chen beamed with a dazzling, charming smile.
He adjusted his sleeping position slightly, resting his head on her lap, and said, "Nuan Nuan, let's get the certificate first, then date."
Jiang Nuan looked at his slightly silly smile and asked, "Can it be done like that?"
"Yes, He Ming Run tries to trick Meng Yuan into getting married every day! And He Ming Run has a high demand; Meng Yuan is directly scared away."
Jiang Nuan was stunned; Mu Jiu Chen also gossiped.
"Master, does He Ming Run even tell you these private matters?" Jiang Nuan couldn't believe that if these two men were researching such things together, how embarrassing it would be for her and Yuan Yuan.
She suddenly felt like these two men were wicked.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her surprised expression, leisurely watching her. The woman he loved, no matter what she looked like, was always charming.
"When He Ming Run can't find Meng Yuan, he occasionally complains to me. He's at an age with a strong constitution, he can't endure it."
