Mu Jiu Chen looked at Jiang Nuan, his survival instinct kicking in, "Nuan Nuan, it's not what you think?"
Jiang Nuan said angrily, "Mu Jiu Chen, you've disappointed me so much!"
Then, she helped Yun Xia into a taxi, and the car sped away.
Mu Jiu Chen: "..."
Su Wan Ting, seeing her objective achieved, slowly pulled away from Mu Jiu Chen's embrace.
As soon as Mu Jiu Chen left, she immediately chased after him. She didn't catch up to Mu Jiu Chen, but she saw Jiang Nuan and her friend.
Her friend had gone to the restroom, and she intended to go over and teach Jiang Nuan a lesson. However, she saw Mu Jiu Chen chasing after her.
Now, her plan had succeeded.
"Ouch! My foot." Su Wan Ting looked at her swollen ankle, playing dead turning into a real injury, which made her furious.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her with a dark expression, "You did that on purpose?"
Su Wan Ting pretended to be bewildered, looking at Mu Jiu Chen. Seeing his cold, sharp gaze, she became extremely nervous. "Ninth Master, I don't know what you mean by that?"
Mu Jiu Chen's piercing, defiant gaze was filled with intense anger. "Su Wan Ting, this is the last time. If there's a next time, your Su family will get out of Jin City."
When Su Wan Ting met his deep, cold, and angry eyes, she felt a jolt like an electric shock and flinched.
He was truly angry!
A strong sense of oppression washed over her, making her body tremble slightly.
Mu Jiu Chen turned and walked towards his car.
Li Qing Shuo quickly followed. The car door hadn't even closed before Mu Jiu Chen drove off, nearly throwing him out.
"Wan Ting, you've disappointed me too much."
Su Wan Ting turned abruptly and saw her father behind her. Her face was ashen.
"Dad."
Director Su shook his head slightly, looking frustrated. "How could you be so willful and reckless? I'm old now, and there's not much I can do for you and your brother. Maintaining good relationships and connections will be very beneficial for your future."
"Among the younger generation tonight, those three men are representatives of Jin City. They have prominent statuses and positions. If you can build good relationships with them, your future, and your brother's, will be boundless."
"Dad, isn't it better if I can marry him?" Su Wan Ting was unwilling to be outshone by a woman with nothing.
"Hmph! You're too naive. Men as capable as them, if they were interested in you, they wouldn't need you to deliberately seduce them, nor would you need to play these little tricks to get their attention. They would notice you."
"You're still too young. If you continue like this, you'll be the one suffering."
Su Wan Ting's chest felt like it was being crushed by a thousand-pound boulder; every breath was difficult.
She had this thought, but she didn't agree with it.
She wasn't unattractive, and she had a double degree from a foreign university. How was she inferior to Jiang Nuan?!
"Dad, help me. I really like this man." If her father helped her, why would she worry about not getting Mu Jiu Chen?
"Presumptuous! I've made myself clear, and you still haven't woken up? If you continue like this, don't blame me for being harsh." Director Su finished angrily and entered the hotel, as he had many guests to greet.
Su Wan Ting watched her father's retreating back, her heart tightening. She forced herself to calm down, vowing to find a breakthrough. She would not give up.
On the road, Mu Jiu Chen's car was speeding. Li Qing Shuo regretted getting in, thinking Mu Jiu Chen was driving himself to his death.
His foot was practically on the accelerator.
"Ahhh... Xiao Jiu, I know you're angry, but don't put your foot on the accelerator like this. I don't want to die with you. I haven't seen my son, no, I haven't even married yet." Li Qing Shuo clung tightly to the front seat, yelling at Mu Jiu Chen.
Mu Jiu Chen's cold, handsome face was hidden in the darkness, its deep contours highlighted, shadowed by intense anger.
Looking at Mu Jiu Chen like this, Li Qing Shuo grew increasingly alarmed.
Damn it, he was really furious!
"Oh oh oh..." Li Qing Shuo saw a large truck approaching and his heart leaped into his throat.
"Xiao Jiu, slow down, slow down! If you keep going like this, we'll both die."
As soon as he finished speaking, blinding headlights instantly made him unable to open his eyes.
He resigned himself and closed his eyes.
After a while, he felt the car shake violently, and its speed gradually decreased.
The blinding lights were gone, and so was the truck.
He instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew... I thought I was going to die just now." Li Qing Shuo pounded his chest, his heart pounding furiously.
After recovering, Li Qing Shuo pointed at Mu Jiu Chen and cursed, "You lunatic!"
Mu Jiu Chen casually replied, "You're the one who chose to get in."
Li Qing Shuo: "...Yeah, I'm an idiot. Why did I get in?"
Mu Jiu Chen didn't want to talk to him. He drove all the way to Jiang Nuan's house and saw that she hadn't returned yet.
He got out of the car and stood by the door to wait.
Li Qing Shuo felt a bit awkward. It seemed Yun Xia also lived there.
"Uh, Xiao Jiu, I'll head back first."
Mu Jiu Chen: "Get lost!"
Li Qing Shuo rolled his eyes at his flawless handsome face. "Mu Jiu Chen, I don't want to hear you talk. I just want to see you get lost."
Mu Jiu Chen glanced at him coldly, "Going, are we?"
Li Qing Shuo: Huh!
He won just like that!
But it wasn't a satisfying win!
"Buddy, chasing a woman isn't usually done like this."
Mu Jiu Chen gave him a chilling look. "Li Qing Shuo, I've never been this sincere with you. I'm now sincerely telling you three words: Get-lost!"
Li Qing Shuo glanced at Mu Jiu Chen's car. "Fine, I'll get lost. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
He opened the door, got into the car, and drove away.
Mu Jiu Chen: "..." That was his car!
Mu Jiu Chen waited for a few minutes and then saw Jiang Nuan and Yun Xia returning together.
When Jiang Nuan saw Mu Jiu Chen, the man stood by the door, the soft yellow light outlining his imposing figure.
Jiang Nuan said, "Xia Xia, you go in and rest. Don't worry about me. I'll be back in a moment."
Yun Xia glanced at Mu Jiu Chen and nodded.
Mu Jiu Chen walked to Jiang Nuan's side and looked at her.
Jiang Nuan quietly averted her gaze, her voice low. "Not going to embrace your beautiful lady, why are you here?"
Mu Jiu Chen was happy to see her jealous. "Jealous?"
Jiang Nuan looked up at him, his lips curved in a smile.
"I'm also eating soy sauce!"
Jiang Nuan didn't expect her jealousy to be so intense. Seeing Mu Jiu Chen embracing another woman had hurt her. She admitted that she didn't want Mu Jiu Chen to have any involvement with other women.
Mu Jiu Chen lowered his gaze, whispering in her ear, "Nuan Nuan, you look so cute when you're jealous."
Mu Jiu Chen circled her waist. "I drove all the way here."
Jiang Nuan was a little surprised. No wonder he had arrived before her.
"Are you tired of living?" Jiang Nuan looked at him fiercely.
Mu Jiu Chen brushed his lips against her neck, and an ambiguous aura instantly filled the air.
Jiang Nuan felt a little nervous and pushed Mu Jiu Chen away.
