Jiang Nuan nodded, "For certain reasons, I've signed a contract with him. I'll be there for about a week this time before I return."
"A week, that's so long?" Mu Jiuchen was displeased. Rong Yin was the type of pretty boy many women liked.
Moreover, they shared the same profession and would have a lot of common topics.
Thinking of this, Mu Jiuchen felt extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing his displeased expression, Jiang Nuan's mood inexplicably lifted. "Aren't you also going for a week?"
"Yes, but I'm traveling alone on business, while you have Rong Yin with you. These are two different concepts."
Jiang Nuan wanted to ask: how were they different?
"By the way, I have a question for you, Ninth Master. Please answer honestly." Jiang Nuan looked at him seriously, the end of her voice slightly upturned, a little captivating.
Mu Jiuchen swallowed. Those red lips were constantly seducing him.
"Nuannuan, speak, I'm listening."
Jiang Nuan's eyes flickered towards him.
Mu Jiuchen felt his heart skip a beat. This tormenting little enchantress was born to be his undoing.
"Many men like interesting women, women who are intelligent and have high taste. Especially men like you, why do you like me? I've always been very confused." She wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think it was due to their childhood connection.
Regarding this question, Mu Jiuchen felt he was most qualified to answer: "Nuannuan, I don't like you for your appearance. I like your simple and unpretentious heart and your pure soul. Besides, Nuannuan, in this world, how many people can surpass your talent?"
Jiang Nuan: "..." There's always someone better.
Jiang Nuan glanced at him silently and said, "I'm considering your pursuit. If you can continue to move me, I'll accept your pursuit. Otherwise, we'll just remain as the parents of a child."
Mu Jiuchen: "..." He felt like he was still a hundred thousand miles away.
However, all his previous efforts were useless!
Nono!!!
It must be that he hadn't tried hard enough before.
Mu Jiuchen nodded understandingly, "Okay, Nuannuan, I'll perform well." He gave a devilishly charming smile with a hidden meaning.
Jiang Nuan watched him, like a cunning fox digging a trap for her.
At least, Mu Jiuchen was not a scumbag.
Scumbags feigned deep affection during breakups, drinking in bars just to continue flirting with girls.
Mu Jiuchen didn't have the princely arrogance she disliked either. He wasn't someone who expected to be fed and dressed; his self-care abilities were excellent.
For a day and a night, He Mingrun and Meng Yuan had a very happy time.
He Mingrun, who had always disdained women, never thought that having a girlfriend would be such a delightful experience.
After having breakfast together, they embarked on their first date after confirming their relationship.
They had street snacks for breakfast, and for lunch, they went to a traditional cuisine restaurant. While eating, they fed each other and did many things couples do.
Then, they went to the beach. They chased each other on the sand. Previously, if He Mingrun saw this scene, he would have found such couples boring. But now that it was happening to him, he thought to himself, "So sweet!"
He Mingrun had decided to skip work. After playing enough at the beach, he booked a high-end restaurant for dinner.
At noon, Wu Yuan brought Yang Minjing to see He Mingrun, but He Mingrun was not at the company.
Wu Yuan was furious. She asked his assistant, but the assistant didn't know where He Mingrun had gone.
"This damned He Mingrun, is he really going against me?" Wu Yuan looked at the large company. Everyone was busy, except for her son, the leader.
For the past two days, her biggest worry was that He Mingrun and Meng Yuan would 'cook raw rice into cooked rice.'
Yang Minjing's expression was also grim. She had come today to bring business to He Mingrun, but he wasn't there.
The photos from that day showed He Mingrun and Meng Yuan. So, was He Mingrun with Meng Yuan?
Yang Minjing's face turned pale. She had loved He Mingrun for a long time. She had a good job abroad, but she returned to the country for He Mingrun.
Yet, she had to pretend to be generous and please He Mingrun's mother.
"Aunt Wu, Mingrun might have other matters. Shall we come back tomorrow?"
Wu Yuan was trying to call He Mingrun's phone, but no one answered, so she had to give up.
She said with an apologetic look, "Jingjing, I'm sorry. I made you run here for nothing today."
"It's okay, Auntie. Let's go." Yang Minjing smiled at Jiang Nuan.
Wu Yuan smiled. This child was truly sensible. He Mingrun, that blind fool, had no eye for people. She had to personally vet his wife.
At the bottom of the company building, Yang Minjing saw Wu Yuan off and then made a call to a private investigator.
"Hello! Help me find a woman."
"I'll send you the information shortly."
After hanging up, Yang Minjing looked at the busy street and smiled eerily, "Meng Yuan, I'd like to see what kind of person you are to dare to snatch a man from me, Yang Minjing."
Jiang Nuan was leaving the next day and realized she didn't have a small suitcase.
After parting ways with Mu Jiuchen, she went to the mall to buy a suitcase.
The fourth floor sold various leather goods and bags. Her target was clear, so she went directly to a familiar brand's counter. It was affordable and durable. She chose a white suitcase. Buying it only took three minutes. After paying, she decided to browse the mall. After walking a few steps, she saw a familiar person.
"Darling, this bag is a newly released model. Buy it for me."
"Xiaoya, didn't I just buy you a limited edition bag last week?"
The man was Jia Bin, a disciple of Old Wu.
"Mmm~ I don't really like that bag! After waking up from napping with you today, I felt I was missing such a bag, so I dragged you here." Xiaoya looked at Jia Bin with feigned shyness, deliberately mentioning the nap.
Upon hearing about the midday events, Jia Bin's spirits instantly soared.
"Alright, alright, I'll buy it for you. What won't I buy for my woman, Jia Bin's woman?" After meeting Xiaoya, Jia Bin felt he was spending beyond his means, but Xiaoya was so gentle that he couldn't resist.
Besides, weren't all the money earned meant to be spent on girlfriends?
Thinking this way, he no longer hesitated.
Jiang Nuan watched Jia Bin become a fool, and she didn't find it strange. After all, someone like Jia Bin would eventually suffer a great downfall because of women.
"Wow! Darling, you're so good to me." Xiaoya, having received the bag, happily stood on her tiptoes and kissed Jia Bin's cheek. Jia Bin couldn't help but kiss her back.
Jiang Nuan shook her head slightly. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Jia Bin say, "Xiaoya, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. This might be a big deal. After I return, I'll give you a generous allowance."
"Wow! Really? Brother Bin, where are you going?"
"Modu, to see a very wealthy person. That old lady is dying. The teacher will let her rally briefly, and then we can get a considerable sum."
