Meng Yuan drove, while Jiang Nuan continued to rest with her eyes closed.
Meng Yuan glanced at Jiang Nuan several times. Jiang Nuan could feel her gaze. When Meng Yuan looked at her for the eighth time, she lazily opened her eyes and looked at Meng Yuan.
Caught red-handed, Meng Yuan unnaturally looked away.
Jiang Nuan pointed to the red traffic light ahead and said casually, "Yuan Yuan, watch the road. We're both still very young."
Meng Yuan: "..." She drove often and wouldn't have an accident.
"Nuan Nuan, what's going on between you and Mu Jiu Chen?" Meng Yuan suddenly felt that the mysterious Ninth Master was no longer mysterious.
He was just a big oaf, seeing how he acted in front of Jiang Nuan, as if he wanted to do everything for her.
Jiang Nuan was sensitive about this topic now.
She hadn't thought about anything yet; she just wanted to be angry.
"Yuan Yuan, what's going on between you and He Ming Run?" Jiang Nuan retorted.
"Screech..."
Meng Yuan slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a halt at the red light.
Jiang Nuan's body lurched forward. Her wound throbbed with pain, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"Hiss..." she gasped in pain.
Startled, Meng Yuan abruptly released the brake. "Bang..."
The car smoothly and intimately kissed the car in front.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
Meng Yuan: "..."
"My God, what kind of car was that?"
Jiang Nuan's eyes widened. "A super luxury car that could bankrupt us."
Meng Yuan's face crumpled. "I didn't check the almanac before leaving home today."
Jiang Nuan: "...Is that the problem? What were you thinking while driving?"
Jiang Nuan watched as the door of the car in front opened, and she unbuckled her seatbelt to get out.
She still owed Mu Jiu Chen two debts.
This was truly endless.
"My God, I'd rather face the wall at home than be so embarrassed out here."
Meng Yuan was filled with regret. She opened her car door and got out. Meng Yuan and Jiang Nuan were both stunned.
The two people who stepped out of the car were Mu Jiu Chen and He Ming Run.
Mu Jiu Chen and He Ming Run were also taken aback.
Jiang Nuan: "..." What kind of devilish butterfly effect was this?!
Meng Yuan and He Ming Run were in the same predicament.
"Young Master He, Ninth Master, I accidentally released the brake, and that's how it happened," Meng Yuan said, pointing to the two cars. She truly didn't mean it, but since they were acquaintances, resolving the issue would be easier.
He Ming Run looked at her flushed, anxious face with concern. "Yuan Yuan, it's okay. The car is covered by insurance. You won't have to pay a cent."
Mu Jiu Chen immediately thought of the two debts between him and Jiang Nuan. This was bad. With such an obvious contrast, what did he look like?
At that moment, he wished he could be facing the wall at home.
He suddenly looked up and saw Jiang Nuan's lingering gaze. His heart burned. This wasn't life imitating art; this was a situation where even acting skills wouldn't help.
"That's too embarrassing! I'll pay what I should pay," Meng Yuan said, not one to take advantage of others.
He Ming Run shook his head and chuckled. "Yuan Yuan, really, you don't have to. Are you hurt, though?" He Ming Run looked her over from head to toe.
Jiang Nuan: "..." Her mood was truly terrible. He Ming Run only cared if Yuan Yuan was hurt, while at that time, Mu Jiu Chen was only worried about her jumping the wall.
"I'm fine," Meng Yuan smiled brightly.
"That's good. And the collision wasn't that serious; the cars can still be driven. We're going to watch Miss Jiang's competition, so let's get back in the cars, don't delay the competition time."
They had agreed last night to go support Jiang Nuan, and this morning they picked up Xiao Jiu and came together.
"Oh! Alright, thank you, Young Master He," Meng Yuan said, truly grateful. If it had been someone else, this matter would have dragged on for a long time.
After the four got into the cars, Jiang Nuan leaned back lazily.
There was no comparison without suffering. The way He Ming Run pursued his girlfriend was so elegant, and his words were so appropriate, making people feel comfortable.
What was Mu Jiu Chen's approach? Like an old ox eating tender grass, and he was afraid she would run away. This was petty.
In the car ahead, Mu Jiu Chen was very frustrated. "He Ming Run, you should have asked for compensation just now. Used it as an opportunity to tie your lives together; then you would have more chances to meet."
He Ming Run focused on driving and replied, "There's no need. I like Yuan Yuan. I admit it now. The woman you love is meant to be doted on, not angered. Yuan Yuan works very hard to earn money. This car repair alone would cost hundreds of thousands. She will be my wife in the future, so what's mine is hers. Of course, she doesn't need to pay."
Mu Jiu Chen: "..." As expected, a true master sees farther.
But with this comparison, what did he become?
Clearly possessing immense wealth, yet acting so small-minded. What did he look like in Nuan Nuan's eyes?
No, he was a wolf. A wolf needed to sharpen its teeth. He was different from He Ming Run.
Nuan Nuan might not necessarily like He Ming Run's type.
Thinking this way, Mu Jiu Chen stopped dwelling on it.
His phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw a message from Xiao Fan.
[Ninth Master, the XP project was snatched by the Rong family.]
Mu Jiu Chen glanced at it, completely unfazed. The Crown Prince of Modu only had this much capability.
For this project, Rong Yin hadn't bothered Nuan Nuan for the past few days.
It was worth it!
If Jiang Nuan knew about this, she would definitely scold Mu Jiu Chen. Money was really hard to earn!
People in the culinary world had received the news: today, Jue Wei Tian Xia would host a health soup competition.
The health soup industry had become a rising sector in the culinary world in the past two years.
With more money, people paid more attention to their health.
This competition was one that combined challenges and entertainment.
Every profession produced its own champions.
Jue Wei Tian Xia had established a culinary research institute.
It housed famous world-class chefs.
They were constantly conquering their taste buds and pushing their limits.
Early in the morning, various media outlets arrived at the scene, awaiting the live broadcast.
Xiao Rui Ming was a well-known chef in Jin City. He could cook all sorts of flavors and had even defeated several world-class chefs from Jue Wei Tian Xia.
Xiao Rui Ming arrived earlier than Jiang Nuan. He was the nephew of the vice-dean of the culinary institute and had been learning to cook from the vice-dean since he was young.
He had challenged several gourmets in the culinary institute, but their dishes were not impressive. This reminded him of the saying that true masters were found among the people.
Indeed, he found Jiang Nuan, a very beautiful girl, and he himself was very handsome. Standing on the stage, they were a perfect match.
He was tired of competing with a group of old men; he was almost becoming a member of the retirement village.
At ten past ten, Jiang Nuan and Meng Yuan arrived at Jue Wei Tian Xia precisely on time.
After their identities were confirmed by the attendant, Jiang Nuan and Meng Yuan were led inside.
Mu Jiu Chen and Jiang Nuan entered through different doors; the four parted ways at the entrance.
Mu Jiu Chen was depressed because Jiang Nuan hadn't even glanced at him from beginning to end.
"Ah! Miss Jiang, you're here," Xiao Rui Ming said happily when he saw Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan was dressed simply today. As the weather was hot, she wore a white chiffon blouse and black straight-leg pants, paired with shiny leather shoes, looking capable and beautiful.
What stood out the most were her aura and her devastatingly beautiful face, which made it impossible to look away.
Jiang Nuan simply nodded slightly at Xiao Rui Ming's enthusiasm.
