"He Mingrun, you madman."
Yang Minjing stared blankly at the wall in front of her, truly regretting provoking this madman, He Mingrun, leading her family to this point. An eight-figure fine, where would she possibly get that?
After a long while, Yang Minjing left filled with hatred.
Mu Jiuchen woke up early and was busy in the kitchen.
When Jiang Xingyu and Nan Zhou woke up and saw him busy making congee in the kitchen, their eyes widened.
Mu Jiuchen faced them calmly and even asked offhandedly, "Haven't you ever seen a man cook?"
Nan Zhou was somewhat surprised, thinking that Mu Jiuchen, who was as noble as an emperor, would also know how to cook.
Recalling Mu Jiuchen's expression last night, he frowned, his voice a little cold, "I have seen it, but I've never seen you cook. You look like you're trying to appease Nuannuan. Did you two quarrel?"
Mu Jiuchen thought of the scene last night. He didn't know if it counted as a quarrel, but Nuannuan was unhappy.
So he woke up early to make congee. Jiang Nuan liked to eat congee, and she especially liked seafood congee.
Jiang Xingyu looked at his dark eye circles, noting that he probably hadn't slept well last night either.
"Nan Zhou, let's go out to eat and chat," Jiang Xingyu reminded him.
He knew what happened last night; the person who kidnapped him was after Nuannuan.
Nan Zhou understood Jiang Xingyu's meaning and nodded. The two then left together.
Mu Jiuchen watched their retreating backs and snorted! "Good, you're observant."
Mu Jiuchen returned to watch over the congee. He had asked the nanny here to teach him how to make seafood congee and was waiting for Nuannuan to come down and try it.
With someone teaching him, he succeeded on the first try, but he still found cooking troublesome. He wondered why Nuannuan liked to cook so much.
When Jiang Nuan woke up, she went downstairs for breakfast. After breakfast, she had to go to the Lu family's house.
She didn't see anyone downstairs, so she walked directly towards the kitchen.
At the entrance, she saw a tall and slender figure standing by the stove, holding a ladle and occasionally stirring the food in the pot.
Jiang Nuan blinked her beautiful eyes, and when she opened them again, the straight figure was still standing there.
"Mu Jiuchen, what are you doing here? Where are the servants?" Jiang Nuan walked in curiously.
Hearing her voice, Mu Jiuchen turned to look at her, smiling gently, "Nuannuan, you're awake. I made you some congee."
"You?" Jiang Nuan was a little disbelieving, but she could already smell the aroma of seafood congee.
"Yes! I asked the servants here to teach me. It's ready. You go sit down first, and I'll bring it out in a moment." Mu Jiuchen turned off the heat.
Jiang Nuan walked over, feeling a warmth in her heart, "Are you trying to appease me because of what happened last night?"
Mu Jiuchen lowered his gaze and looked at her for a moment before continuing to scoop the congee.
"Nuannuan, I'm sorry!" Mu Jiuchen apologized in a low voice.
Jiang Nuan looked at him, feeling a little helpless. Who told him he was her boyfriend?
"Alright, I forgive you, my jealous one." Jiang Nuan smiled, her eyes crinkling. She slightly pursed her lips as she looked at his dark eye circles.
"Didn't you sleep well?"
Mu Jiuchen picked up two bowls of congee, and Jiang Nuan brought over the prepared side dishes. They went out together. Mu Jiuchen looked at her with a hint of grievance, "I couldn't sleep well without you!"
Jiang Nuan: "..."
Jiang Nuan took a sip of the seafood congee and looked up, only to see Mu Jiuchen staring at her quietly, as if waiting for her praise.
"It tastes good!"
Mu Jiuchen's eyes immediately lit up as he smiled at her, and the gloom in his heart instantly disappeared.
"Nuannuan, eat more."
Jiang Nuan said, "Okay!"
They smiled at each other and continued eating.
After breakfast, Jiang Nuan looked at Mu Jiuchen, "I'm going to the Lu family's house."
Mu Jiuchen already knew she was the Lu family's daughter. After thinking for a moment, he made a decision, "I'll accompany you."
He needed to show his face and let Chairman Lu know that he was his future son-in-law.
Jiang Nuan put down her spoon, wiped her mouth, and then said, "What are you going for? I have things to do."
Jiang Nuan suddenly thought of Lu Qiaoyi's feelings for Mu Jiuchen, her gaze flickered, and then she added, "Okay! I'll let you go."
Mu Jiuchen was just thinking about how to persuade her when he saw a hint of slyness flash in her eyes. The next sentence he heard was, "Okay, I'll let you go."
Mu Jiuchen looked at her deeply, "Nuannuan, why the sudden change of heart?"
It felt as if she was about to be sold.
Jiang Nuan stood up, looked down at him, placed her hands on the table, leaned forward with a smile, and lightly parted her red lips, "Ninth Master, isn't it you who wants to go? You doubt me after I agreed, what do you mean?"
Jiang Nuan, with a slightly mischievous smile, alluring eyes, and a captivating smile on her red lips, was irresistible.
Mu Jiuchen couldn't resist such a tease. His doubts vanished instantly. He tilted his head slightly and covered her gentle lips.
Jiang Nuan didn't back down. This was a beautiful part of their dating journey. Since he was her boyfriend, and a stunning beauty she had pursued, she was happy to enjoy it.
Before going, Jiang Nuan contacted Jin Yan in advance. Jin Yan was delighted and invited Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen over for lunch.
Jiang Nuan was a little nervous. After all, they were her biological parents.
When they arrived at the Lu family's main gate, Lu Chengs si personally waited for them at the entrance.
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen got out of the car, greeted Lu Chengs, and then saw a flashy red sports car pull up at the entrance.
The car door opened, revealing Rong Yin in a red suit, flamboyant and alluring, with a smile curving his lips, his eyes filled with charm. The moment he saw Jiang Nuan, a gentle and unrestrained smile appeared in his peach blossom eyes. With his hands in his pockets, he looked incredibly cool.
"Nuannuan," he called out with a smile, his voice very gentle.
Then, his gaze fell on Mu Jiuchen, his smile filled with provocation.
Mu Jiuchen's face turned dark!
Lu Chengs's face also turned dark!
They were all here to cause trouble for his daughter.
"Uncle, hello!"
Lu Chengs smiled and nodded, "Third Young Master, why are you here?"
Rong Yin's smile was a little unnatural, "Ah, haha... Uncle, I was just passing by and decided to drop in to see you."
"Oh! Passing by, what a coincidence." Lu Chengs was speechless; this coincidence was a bit too much.
Jiang Nuan glanced at her phone, then at Rong Yin. This Rong Yin was truly shameless, taking advantage of any opportunity.
"Please, come in quickly." Lu Chengs glanced at his daughter, his gaze very gentle.
Looking at his daughter but unable to acknowledge her caused him great pain. And his daughter Lu Qiaoyi was doing terrible things with her life, while they had to be diplomatic, smiling and talking with the person who wanted to kill his daughter. Lu Chengs had never felt so stifled in his life.
Jiang Nuan also looked at him, smiling with her eyes.
Lu Chengs looked at her with doting affection and led them inside.
Jiang Nuan was surprised; everyone from the Lu family was present. Her third brother, Lu Jinyan, whom she had never met, was also there.
Lu Jinyan looked very much like Jin Yan, and both he and Jiang Nuan strongly resembled Jin Yan.
Lu Qiaoyi was greatly alarmed when she saw Jiang Nuan enter. Why had Jiang Nuan suddenly come?
