He heard his self-reproaching voice, "Nuannuan, I was afraid you'd be angry. That woman threw herself into my arms. She did it on purpose. I was afraid you'd be upset."
Jiang Nuan said dully, "I am indeed very angry."
Mu Jiuchen looked at her and smiled, "I can tell."
"Hmph!" Jiang Nuan was still unhappy.
Mu Jiuchen pinched her cheek, "Nuannuan, do you have anything to do tomorrow?"
Jiang Nuan: "No."
"Then come with me on a business trip to Ling City."
Jiang Nuan shook her head slightly, "No, I was supposed to get medicinal herbs today but didn't. Tomorrow, I have to get medicinal herbs for Li Qing Shuo to refine medicine. Three days later, I have a mission in Modu."
Mu Jiuchen's eyes flickered. Who had just nodded and said they had time?
"Is it dangerous?" Mu Jiuchen was uneasy. Li He from Modu would not be so simple.
Jiang Nuan nodded, "But you don't need to worry about me. You know I'm very capable."
The matter with Li He had to be resolved.
Mu Jiuchen was still worried, his tone becoming serious, "Then wait for me to return from my business trip, and I'll go with you."
"No need. What are you going for? You're very busy. You don't need to follow me around everywhere. It's better if I resolve this matter early."
As long as she found out the cause of death for Liu Fei and his son, many things would become clear.
"By the way, when do you return tomorrow?"
Mu Jiuchen pulled her outside, "I'll be back in three days."
Jiang Nuan urged him, "Then you should hurry back and rest. Go by yourself tomorrow morning."
Mu Jiuchen was unwilling to leave like this, "I'm going for three days, and I'll be back after three days. You're going to Modu, and we won't be able to see each other for a long time. Can we spend tonight together?" His overbearing tone admitted no refusal.
Jiang Nuan hadn't expected this.
"No, I'm worried about Xia Xia being home alone."
"Then what should we do? I'll go back with you." Anyway, he wasn't planning on leaving tonight.
"My car was also driven away by Li Qing Shuo."
Jiang Nuan found it a bit amusing, "So, you've decided to stay with me tonight?"
Mu Jiuchen smiled at her. She wasn't resisting. "No, it's to accompany you."
"That sounds nice. Truly the words of a man, the deceit of a ghost."
Jiang Nuan stopped and said, "Wait a moment, let me see if Xia Xia will be alright alone. My elder brother isn't coming back tonight either; he has a case recently."
Jiang Nuan sent a message to Yun Xia. Yun Xia said she was already asleep and not to worry.
Jiang Nuan looked up at the lights on the second floor. They had already been turned off.
"Let's go." Mu Jiuchen was as happy as a child.
"Then where are we going?" Jiang Nuan felt a little reluctant thinking about being apart for several days.
Mu Jiuchen pulled her out to the car, his eyes sparkling with joy, "Who am I, Mu Jiuchen? More than half of Jinshi City is my asset. Tonight, we're going to the Longdu Grand Hotel."
"Ah... you mean that legendary diamond-class hotel that costs one million a night."
"That's right. One of the most expensive hotels in the world."
"It's yours too?" Jiang Nuan had never felt that having money was significant.
But now she truly felt its benefits.
"Yes!"
Jiang Nuan: "..."
Upon arriving at Mu Jiuchen's exclusive suite, Jiang Nuan realized that poverty had limited her imagination.
The entire suite was so luxurious that it left her speechless. Mu Jiuchen's private, stunningly opulent decor blinded Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan's favorites were the small swimming pool and the Jacuzzi in the bathroom.
"Wow, Mu Jiuchen, when we have time on a weekend, let's bring the children to stay here. Let the children also have some desire for material things, so they will strive harder."
Seeing her happy, Mu Jiuchen knew he had made the right decision.
"Okay! After you return from Modu."
Speaking of this, Jiang Nuan remembered another issue.
"You can't go to Modu with me. Someone needs to take care of the children. You stay and look after them."
Mu Jiuchen wanted to argue, but he thought about it, and the children were also very important.
They were at an age where they needed companionship.
"Then I'll bring them to see you in Modu on the weekend. Grandfather also wants to meet them."
Jiang Nuan looked at him with amusement, "You're really good at finding excuses for yourself."
Mu Jiuchen smiled and raised his eyebrows. In love, there was only each other, and their bodies were filled with the scent of hormones.
"Nuannuan, in a passionate romance, one day apart feels like three autumns."
"Mmm! I know, I know." She had already experienced it, Mu Jiuchen's constant clinging and public displays of affection!
She walked over and sat beside him, reminding him, "By the way, be careful when you're on your business trip. A man as excellent as you will be schemed against wherever you go. Look at He Ming Run tonight; Yuan Yuan must have lost half her life."
Mu Jiuchen put his long arm around her, "Mmm! I'll be careful. Over the years, I was only tricked once six years ago. That night I met you. After that, I've been very cautious. You don't need to worry about me."
"I'm not worried about you at all?" Jiang Nuan leaned into his embrace, drawing circles on his chest with her finger.
That heart-fluttering feeling seemed to grow stronger.
Mu Jiuchen indulged her playful behavior and liked her dependent closeness. He lowered his gaze to look at her, "You're a girl who says one thing and means another. Can you stop saying things like that to make me angry?"
"I'm making you angry. You also made me quite angry tonight." Jiang Nuan's finger suddenly stopped, and she instantly reached out and grabbed Mu Jiuchen's ear.
"Mu Jiuchen, listen to me carefully. If you dare to be unclear with other women, I'll take the children and leave for a place you can never find."
Look at Jiang Nuan, how audacious she was, twisting Mu Jiuchen's ear and threatening him. In this world, perhaps only Jiang Nuan dared to do such a thing.
And Mu Jiuchen still looked at her with a smile, "Nuannuan, I'm only unclear with you. So, if you dare to run away with my children, I'll track you down to the ends of the earth."
After getting his assurance, Jiang Nuan finally let go of his ear.
Mu Jiuchen then held her shoulders with both hands, "You're going to Modu. You're not allowed to dine alone with Rong Yin, nor with Nan Zhou. There must be a third person present."
Jiang Nuan gazed at him quietly, "Are you not trusting me?"
Mu Jiuchen felt somewhat wronged. Why was it about not trusting him when it came to Nuannuan?
Wasn't she not trusting him just now when she threatened him?
"Didn't you not trust me just now either?" Mu Jiuchen intended to regain the upper hand.
Jiang Nuan sneered, "Am I the same as you? I only have Rong Yin and Nan Zhou around me. You have countless Su Wan Tings around you."
Mu Jiuchen: "..." He felt inexplicably wronged.
However, he liked her domineering way of treating him.
"Let's go, Nuannuan, let's go bathe."
Jiang Nuan blushed, "You go first."
Mu Jiuchen refused to go alone. He stood up, scooped up Jiang Nuan in his arms, and walked into the bathroom.
Soon after, in the shadows, the man's muscular physique rose and fell. This beautiful night had just begun.
The next morning, Jiang Nuan was awakened by her phone ringing.
