The bone-chilling longing filled his entire being. He let the pain spread through his limbs and bones, his dark gaze fixed on the night view outside the window.
With his voice as company, and his gentle calls echoing, Nuannuan, you shouldn't be too lonely.
The night was deep and silent, the cold moon without a sound!
Only then did Mu Jiuchen slightly shift his stiffening steps and slowly walk towards the large bed not far away. He collapsed onto the bed, powerless, and closed his eyes, his mind filled with every moment he had spent with Jiang Nuannuan.
He drifted into sleep amidst his memories, but his dreams were a constant flux of bizarre scenes.
The dreams were filled with Jiang Nuannuan's laughter, and her pleasant calls of "Mu Jiuchen" circling around him. This was the second time he had dreamed of Nuannuan since her accident. She was so close to him, and his heart felt a lot more content.
When Mu Jiuchen opened his eyes, his gaze was fixed on the ceiling, as if still lost in the dream.
After a while, the sunlight outside became a little too bright, and he finally returned to reality. He was in a hotel.
He didn't get up but continued to close his eyes. So, the feeling of missing someone was so bitter, so lonely.
If missing someone had a sound, it would be deafening!
Mu Jiuchen slowly got out of bed to wash up. There was a knock on the door from outside.
Mu Jiuchen opened the door, and it was Chen Feng bringing him clean clothes.
"Master, your clothes." Chen Feng handed over the clothes.
Mu Jiuchen took the clothes and went into the bathroom to change.
Chen Feng watched his master's back, feeling a thick wave of sadness enveloping him. He had also rapidly lost weight.
"Sigh..." He shook his head gently. Love truly hurt!
He had never seen Ninth Master looking so lost and dejected, as if he had lost his soul.
Chen Feng thought about it and felt envious. If he had a girlfriend, he would also be heartbroken if something like this happened.
He had always fantasized about what it would be like to have a girlfriend – cute, feisty, or fierce. He shivered, wanting only a cute one.
As Chen Feng was lost in his fantasy, Mu Jiuchen emerged from the bathroom after changing. A thin black suit hugged his sturdy frame, and his long legs were alluring and captivating.
Mu Jiuchen asked him, "How is the investigation?"
Chen Feng felt that at this moment, Mu Jiuchen had returned to the Mu Jiuchen before he met Jiang Nuannuan. His previously relaxed heart instantly tensed up.
"Master, I've checked. Those few individuals have no suspicion. The investigation is ongoing. Li He's remnants have all been apprehended, and his son has already fled the country overnight. Yang Tiancheng's son hasn't made any moves; he's very clean, making it impossible to find anything. We suspect the president's rival, and your two uncles are also highly suspicious."
Mu Jiuchen raised his eyes, looking at him, and said angrily, word by word, "Investigate. I don't want ambiguous answers. Give me accurate information."
Chen Feng immediately nodded, "Yes, President. I'll go investigate now."
Chen Feng ran out as if fleeing for his life.
Outside, he encountered Jiang Shaoqing.
"Uncle Chen, are you running for your life?"
Chen Feng smiled, "Young Master, the devil is behind me."
Jiang Shaoqing looked confused. Was he not fully awake this early in the morning?
It seemed his father had given him too many tasks, keeping him so busy that he was talking nonsense early in the morning.
"Hey! Dad, where are we going to play today?" Jiang Shaoqing ran to his father.
Mu Jiuchen looked down at the little fellow. He was the happiest, always believing that his mother would return safely, acting as if nothing had happened.
It was better this way. He didn't want to see his children sad.
Mu Jiuchen took his sons' hands and sat down on the sofa, looking at him and asking, "Where do you want to go today?" Da Feng Novel Network
Jiang Shaoqing tilted his head in thought, then smiled, "Not the amusement park, Dad. Let's go to the science and technology park. I want to see those artificial intelligence things. I'm particularly interested in this. Also, I've written another game script for you. Once this game is successfully launched, you must give me corresponding remuneration."
Jiang Shaoqing's face was full of pride. He was also a little money-making expert now.
Mom no longer had to worry about him not having food to eat!
Mom always said that it was too difficult to get married in this era, whether it was marrying a wife or a husband.
Anyway, with sons and daughters, Mom was always overthinking. With her son being so outstanding, would she worry about him not finding a wife?
"Okay! Little moneybags!" Mu Jiuchen squeezed his little face. He was even better than his predecessors. His three children were amazing!
Jiang Shaoqing made a face at him, then said with a pained expression, "Dad, Mom no longer has to worry about me not being able to find a wife. I learned to make money when I was four years old, hehe..." Jiang Shaoqing laughed heartily, acting very proud.
This sudden remark startled Mu Jiuchen.
"Why would she worry about you not finding a wife?" Nuannuan had such "long-term" thoughts?
"Tsk! Dad, if you have money, women will naturally flock to you. If we don't have money, who would want us? Mom always says that after saving enough money for us to go to college, she has to busy herself saving our betrothal gifts, and also for Yunyun's dowry, and her own retirement funds. She's always very busy."
After speaking, Jiang Shaoqing looked at his father with a smile. Dad was golden. "Now that we have Dad, it seems we don't have to worry about this problem when we grow up."
Mu Jiuchen chuckled in exasperation, "You're all so young, and you're already worrying about this?"
Jiang Shaoqing looked at him seriously, "Dad, time flies, and we're already in school."
Mu Jiuchen pursed his lips, remaining silent. Having three children suddenly appear, he also felt that time was flying.
"Alright! We'll go to the science and technology park today. Where are your brother and sister?" Mu Jiuchen looked at his second son in the hall.
"Uncle Li took them to buy some snacks. They'll be back soon."
As Jiang Shaoqing finished speaking, he heard the sound of a card being swiped.
The door opened, and they saw Li Yanheng entering with Jiang Yikuo and Jiang Siyun, all carrying food containers.
Mu Jiuchen frowned slightly. Why hadn't he left yet?
"Brother, let's eat." Li Yanheng smiled at Mu Jiuchen.
Mu Jiuchen slightly knitted his brows. The feeling of being called "brother" by him was strange, yet he didn't dislike it too much.
"Who's your brother?" He retorted coldly, his words sharp.
Li Yanheng rubbed his nose and gave him a brilliant smile, like a boy fresh out of school, his smile pure and innocent.
"I don't know why, but when I see you, I want to call you brother. I'm here to expand overseas markets, and secondly, to find my elder brother."
Mu Jiuchen pulled Jiang Shaoqing along and replied coldly, "But I'm not your elder brother."
"You're several years older than me. I don't want to call you Ninth Master, I just want to call you brother." Li Yanheng was a bit stubborn and acted as he pleased. This was the first time he had encountered someone like Mu Jiuchen.
The first time he felt he was terrifying, the second time he felt he was warm and kind, and the third time he wanted to call him brother.
At this moment, Jiang Yikuo, who had finished arranging the food containers, said, "Dad, their parents are very good-looking."
Mu Jiuchen glanced at his son and asked him, "Have you met them?"
