Mu Jiu Chen thought, the smile in his eyes deepening. "Nuan Nuan, go change into something warmer first. We're going to the mountain to watch a movie. It might be a bit cold up there, and we won't be back tonight." It was still autumn, so it should be fine.
Jiang Nuan had to admit that he was truly handsome when he smiled, and she was quite looking forward to it. Life had become much easier, and she decided to follow her heart and have a romance.
"What kind of movie can we watch on the mountain?" she wondered if it would be one of those romantic plots she'd read about in novels.
Mu Jiu Chen smiled mysteriously. "Nuan Nuan, you'll know when we get there. I want our romance to be special. I don't want to replicate other men's love stories. I want to create unforgettable memories for you, a beautiful remembrance."
Jiang Nuan's heart stirred. The children were going to be live-streaming tonight and wouldn't be back here.
She went upstairs to pack and sent a message to Jiang Xing Yu, telling him not to wait for her to come back tonight.
Jiang Xing Yu: [You two haven't been home lately, and I'm all alone. It's quite lonely.]
Jiang Nuan: [Big Brother, you're also at the age where you should be dating. Find a woman and start a relationship.]
She knew her older brother had been seeing a girl recently. She wondered if he liked her.
Jiang Xing Yu: [Okay, Nuan Nuan!]
Jiang Nuan thought for a moment and then decided to tell Jiang Xing Yu: [Big Brother, thank you for all the effort you've put into my affairs during this time. I've found my birth parents. I just found them a couple of days ago. I wanted to find an opportunity to tell you, but you haven't been home.]
Suddenly, Jiang Xing Yu's call came through.
"Nuan Nuan, is it true?" His voice was clearly choked with emotion.
Jiang Nuan's heart warmed. "Big Brother, it's true. Once I've finished my business here, we'll go to Modu together. It's time to resolve some things."
Jiang Xing Yu: "Alright, Nuan Nuan, congratulations!"
Jiang Nuan smiled knowingly. "Big Brother, we will be very happy."
"Mhm! Nuan Nuan, we will all be happy."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Nuan packed a few things and went downstairs.
Mu Jiu Chen had Chen Feng make arrangements, and they headed directly to the mountain summit.
"Nuan Nuan, let's go." His handsome face was wreathed in smiles, his voice exceptionally captivating.
Jiang Nuan also wanted to relax, so she didn't fuss.
The elderly madam was still in the intensive care unit that night. They didn't need to stay with her; there were dedicated nurses, so they could go out and have fun with peace of mind.
The journey took nearly an hour. Jiang Nuan dozed off again on the way. When she woke up, she felt completely refreshed.
Mu Jiu Chen saw she was awake and, thinking how tired she had been recently, wanted her to relax.
"Nuan Nuan, you're awake." After a long silence, his voice was slightly hoarse, yet alluringly so.
"Mhm!" Jiang Nuan looked out the window at the beautiful scenery. The sunset was like fire, dyeing half the sky red.
The corners of her lips curved upwards. She glanced at Mu Jiu Chen. In the sunset, the man's profile was even more refined and handsome, his jawline smooth, making him appear more sensual.
"Mu Jiu Chen, stop the car. I want to watch the sunset."
Mu Jiu Chen glanced at the remaining distance to their destination, which was not far.
"Nuan Nuan, we're only three minutes away. The spot we're going to offers an even more beautiful sunset view."
"Okay!" Jiang Nuan continued to gaze out the window. She hadn't relaxed like this in years.
These years, she had been either taking on missions or studying for various certifications, constantly on the go.
Upon arriving at their destination, it was a beautiful glass villa.
Jiang Nuan was surprised. "Is this also one of your properties?"
Mu Jiu Chen parked the car and then said, "This is a mountain villa with glass walls that was developed a few years ago. I reserved the best location for myself, thinking it would be useful someday. And now, it's come in handy after I found you."
"Nuan Nuan, I have a gift for you later. I'm sure you'll like it very much." Mu Jiu Chen smiled meaningfully.
The more he acted like this, the more curious she became.
Mu Jiu Chen led her inside, where a middle-aged man greeted them respectfully.
"Ninth Master, everything is ready."
Mu Jiu Chen, as always, maintained his usual aloofness in front of outsiders. "Mhm! You can all leave."
"Yes!" The butler led everyone away.
Jiang Nuan also disliked crowds, and even more so, she disliked having unfamiliar people around.
Mu Jiu Chen directly led Jiang Nuan to the top floor. The space on the top floor was vast, offering a view of all the surrounding scenery.
Luxurious furniture was arranged in the center.
The dining area faced the sunset directly.
Mu Jiu Chen had Jiang Nuan sit down. He looked at her. She was wearing a light blue shirt and black tight pants, her perfect figure accentuated.
In the sunset, her complexion was rosy, and her expression was gentle. The sunset was beautiful, but she was even more so!
"Nuan Nuan, the sunset is even more beautiful here." His voice softened involuntarily.
Jiang Nuan didn't deny it. The view here was more expansive. The sunset seemed to be sinking beyond the mountaintop, half-hidden on the other side of the mountain. It was so beautiful she couldn't tear her eyes away.
"Rumble..." Jiang Nuan's stomach let out a cry of hunger.
Jiang Nuan felt a bit embarrassed. They hadn't even had lunch today.
Mu Jiu Chen pulled out a chair for her to sit. "Nuan Nuan, let's eat while we watch the sunset."
"Mhm!"
Only then did she notice the dishes on the table; they were all exquisite.
The Steamed Cabbage with Broth was particularly tender-looking and appetizing.
Steamed Mandarin Fish, Braised Abalone, Blanched Prawns, Pickled Vegetable Fish... the spread was very generous.
Jiang Nuan instantly swallowed. She couldn't help but sigh, "It's truly good to be rich!"
Judging by the colors of the dishes, they were clearly prepared by a five-star hotel chef.
"Nuan Nuan, try this braised abalone first. It's especially delicious."
"Mhm mhm, I think so too." Jiang Nuan quickly took a bite. "Wow! It's so tender and delicious."
Seeing her enjoyment, Mu Jiu Chen couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Nuan enjoyed the meal immensely and felt very satisfied.
As the sky gradually darkened, it became a screen of dusky blue, with the sparse starlight shining exceptionally brightly.
Occasionally, bird calls could be heard from the surroundings, and a gentle autumn breeze would blow, creating a comfortable ambiance that made one reluctant to leave.
Mu Jiu Chen prepared tea and brought Jiang Nuan juice, fruits, popcorn, and some snacks. "Nuan Nuan, let's watch a movie, with the starlight as our companion."
Jiang Nuan looked at the items in his hands and helped him carry some of them. To the side was the bedroom. Upon entering, Mu Jiu Chen opened a projection screen that spanned an entire wall.
The entrance was designed as a viewing area for movies. Further inside, there was a large, round bed covered in crisp white sheets and pillowcases.
Seeing the bed, Jiang Nuan felt a little uneasy. She hadn't thought much about it when they arrived, but now she realized that being alone in a room with a man could lead to something happening at any moment.
This man clearly looked capable!
Wearing a white shirt, his chiseled muscles were faintly visible, exuding an aura of hormones at all times.
Jiang Nuan: "..." What was she thinking?
She couldn't help but ask, "Mu Jiu Chen, where will I sleep tonight?"
Unbeknownst to herself, her address to him had transitioned from "Ninth Master" to the much more casual "Mu Jiu Chen."
