“Chairman, I still have other matters to investigate. You don’t need to worry about me. If I need anything, I’ll definitely bother you. I don’t know anyone here.”
Li Zhenting didn’t press the matter further after she said that.
After exchanging contact information, Jiang Nuan left.
Outside the door, Han Yifan stood beside a silver sports car, dressed in white clothes and white pants. In the morning light, the young man was like a gentle breeze and bright moon, with a gentle smile.
“Nuannuan, get in the car.” His voice was clear and captivating.
Jiang Nuan got into the car, and Han Yifan slowly closed the door.
The sleek, sharp-looking Predator offered excellent comfort.
Jiang Nuan rarely rode in sports cars; she preferred motorcycles, always feeling they matched her style – the wings of freedom.
As Han Yifan drove, the exhilarating speed made Jiang Nuan slightly uncomfortable.
Jiang Nuan glanced at the young man, noting his inherent instinct for showing off his wealth.
“Slow down, I’m dizzy,” Jiang Nuan reminded him in a hoarse voice.
“I’m sorry.” Han Yifan slowed down and said with a smile, “The weather is great today, and I wanted to take you out to experience the speed.”
Jiang Nuan also smiled, seemingly not noticing Han Yifan’s unusual behavior, and said as usual, “But you also need to consider that I’ve just recovered from a serious illness, and I’m really not feeling well.”
Han Yifan’s speed became even slower, and he asked with a casual smile, “Did you take your medicine this morning? Great-grandfather said you might experience memory loss and occasionally faint.”
Jiang Nuan was puzzled. Was it really a sequela?
Jiang Nuan didn't believe it at heart. Number One said she had no medicine.
Jiang Nuan didn’t dwell on the matter anymore. A fox would eventually show its tail; she had always been patient.
“Where are you taking me today?” Jiang Nuan asked, leaning back in the seat. The discomfort persisted.
Han Yifan stopped the car at a red light, right under a plane tree. The dappled sunlight sprinkled down warmly, and Jiang Nuan squinted her eyes in comfort.
Beneath her curled eyelashes, her closed eyes, and on her fair skin, even faint blue veins were visible.
Han Yifan looked at her with a hint of obsession and said, “Nuannuan, let’s have breakfast first. After that, we’ll go to the plaza. Behind the plaza, there’s a nice lake, and we can go boating.”
He had already planned the day’s itinerary, with just the two of them, undisturbed by anyone.
Jiang Nuan didn’t object. If she had any ideas, Han Yifan wouldn’t agree. He seemed gentle, but in reality, he possessed a terrifying possessiveness.
“Okay!” Jiang Nuan had no objections. For now, she just wanted to know what Han Yifan intended.
Han Yifan took Jiang Nuan to a distinctive small building in the plaza. The interior was beautifully decorated, spacious, and cozy, with a melodious and lighthearted tune that stirred the soul.
The two sat by the window, and a cool breeze blew in, bringing a light sense of comfort.
Jiang Nuan watched the bustling crowds on the street. The pace of life here was slow, and people lived comfortably.
Han Yifan watched the serene smile on Jiang Nuan’s face and also smiled, asking, “Nuannuan, do you find life here very comfortable?”
Jiang Nuan nodded, “Very comfortable!”
Han Yifan seized the opportunity to say, “Nuannuan, if you stayed here longer, you’d find it’s better than you imagined. It can make you not want to return to your original place.”
Jiang Nuan shook her head and chuckled, guessing the meaning behind his words, “No matter how good it is here, I’ll choose to return to my original place. My family is there; that’s my home.”
Han Yifan smiled and said nothing. A knowing smile flickered in his lowered handsome eyes.
Is Mu Jiuchen the home she defined?
Heh…!
Mu Jiuchen is not worthy!
Such a cold and heartless old man!
The dishes arrived quickly: a shrimp feast, boiled shrimp, shrimp dumplings, chili-spiced shrimp, a total of thirty-seven dishes featuring various preparations of shrimp.
Jiang Nuan smiled at Han Yifan and asked, “Why so much?”
Han Yifan picked up chopsticks and handed them to her, smiling, “You need to supplement protein now. Shrimp can promote bone growth, and you just had surgery, so you can eat it.”
Jiang Nuan was a little speechless, “But do we need this much?”
“We do. These are all freshly caught sea shrimp, very fresh. Nuannuan, please try some.”
Jiang Nuan didn’t stand on ceremony and picked up her chopsticks to eat the shrimp dumplings. There were many varieties, but the portions were small, and the two of them could finish half of it.
“It’s delicious!” She admitted this was the best shrimp dumpling she had ever tasted.
“I knew you’d like it.” Han Yifan smiled brightly, his eyes crinkling attractively.
Jiang Nuan found him to be a complex person; at times, she felt a strong possessiveness beneath his gentleness.
When he was happy, his assertiveness and dominance were so subtle that they were hard to detect.
After breakfast, they went boating on the lake. There weren’t many people on the lake, and it was very quiet.
Han Yifan rowed the boat, while Jiang Nuan sat opposite him, taking photos with her phone.
There were many weeping willows along the lake, and the water lilies were beautiful.
The scenery here could easily be called paradise on earth.
After taking several photos from all directions, Jiang Nuan unexpectedly noticed four men in black suits and sunglasses looking in their direction.
Were they Han Yifan’s bodyguards, or…?
Jiang Nuan looked at Han Yifan and said, “We’re returning to Sea Cape One tomorrow. My original itinerary is for three months; I can’t be late.”
Upon hearing this, Han Yifan’s good mood diminished by half.
“Nuannuan, there are still many places here you haven’t visited. Don’t you want to go sightseeing?” Han Yifan coaxed her.
“There’s the Mosdo Cathedral, a very sacred place. I also wanted to take you there tomorrow! They say couples who get married there will live very happily!”
Jiang Nuan had heard of the place and it was also on her list of places to visit. However, time was of the essence, and she was eager to return to see Mu Jiuchen.
If she went to Sea Cape One, and Han Yifan really intended to do something to her, he wouldn’t dare.
Just one or two days’ worth of the medicine might affect her body, but she would find out what it was.
“Let’s do it another time. I want to go with the person I love,” Jiang Nuan said, smiling at Han Yifan opposite her.
Jiang Nuan’s candidness caused a hard-to-understand emotion to surface in Han Yifan’s eyes.
He smiled faintly and said nothing.
They continued their activity with subdued spirits until past four in the afternoon. Jiang Nuan asked Han Yifan to take her back to the Li residence.
Han Yifan said nothing and drove Jiang Nuan back.
“Nuannuan, you’re back.” He Junshu was delighted to see Jiang Nuan return safely.
Jiang Nuan looked at the kind smile, recognizing He Junshu’s genuine affection for her. “Madam, I’m going to study for three months. After three months, I’ll be back. If you’re willing to go back and see the Old Madam, I’ll go with you.”
He Junshu nodded, “Nuannuan, I’m willing. No matter what happens, I want to go back. Over the years, I’ve had food and clothing, but my spirit has been under immense torment.”
Jiang Nuan understood. After making arrangements with them, she left the Li residence.
Jinshi!
Li Yanheng finally found an opportunity to enter Mu Jiuchen’s room.
He successfully found a strand of Mu Jiuchen’s hair on the washbasin. He was overjoyed and quietly left with it.
