Jiang Yukuo didn't care about that. He crossed his legs, leaning back lazily in his seat. "Talent is born to be envied. Because of their overwhelming radiance, they are often hated, resented, and obstructed by others. If they aren't careful, they can be stabbed in the back. But these things don't matter to me. They can't do anything with just their brains."
"Even a fool might have a thousand ideas. We can't force people to change their minds."
"Besides, some people don't even like plain white rice. If no one envies me, doesn't that mean I'm too ordinary, too insignificant?"
Mu Jiuchen listened to his son's words, each one making sense. He thought about it, and it was true. Today's online influencers, live streamers, and celebrity comment sections were full of trolls stirring up trouble. Moreover, his son was brilliant.
"Son, keep it up!" Mu Jiuchen made a cheering gesture.
Jiang Yukuo: "Mm! I will work hard. As Jiang Nuan's son, I must shine brightly."
Mu Jiuchen: "..." That hit a nerve!
But why couldn't he even muster the courage to retort? Mu Jiuchen's breathing suddenly became shallow.
After a while, Mu Jiuchen slowly glanced at the rearview mirror. Seeing that Kuobao had already fallen asleep, he tilted his head, leaning to the side, his tender lips slightly parted. The little fellow was so adorable that it made Mu Jiuchen involuntarily curve his lips into a pleased arc.
Mu Jiuchen slowed the car considerably. It wasn't the first time the man had felt the happiness that family brought him, but at this moment, the harmonious atmosphere was another kind of happiness.
Upon reaching the garage, the very tired Jiang Yukuo was still fast asleep.
Mu Jiuchen slowly parked the car, got out quietly, and carefully carried his son out. His movements were very gentle, as if he were holding a rare treasure.
Holding him in his arms, a warm current surged in his eyes. It turned out that holding his son like this could also bring an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Meng Yuan opened the door and saw Mu Jiuchen picking up Jiang Yukuo. Her eyes widened in confusion. "Ninth Master, you and Little Darkie...?"
Meng Yuan's eyes suddenly widened, as if she had discovered a new continent. She looked at Mu Jiuchen in astonishment, her face full of disbelief.
"Why do you look so much alike?" Meng Yuan's voice trembled, and her tone rose several octaves.
Oh no, oh no, could it be what she was thinking?
Mu Jiuchen glanced at her silently. Was this silly woman only realizing it now?
Little Lucky Fish was right. Meng Yuan's intelligence was often not online.
Mu Jiuchen: "Move aside, don't block the way. My son needs to sleep."
"Son?" Meng Yuan exclaimed, "Whose son? This is my son too! Where did you get a son?" Meng Yuan was furious. He was Little Darkie's father, and Jiang Nuan back then... what?
Oh dear!
It's over. How did Jiang Nuan get involved with Mu Jiuchen?
Mu Jiuchen took a step back and lowered his voice. "Look carefully. This is my child with Jiang Nuan. If you want a son, hurry up and get married and have one yourself."
Meng Yuan: "..."
Jiang Xingyu came out of the kitchen and happened to see this scene.
He frowned slightly, his fists clenching. Back then, had he bullied Nuannuan?
Mu Jiuchen didn't pay attention to Jiang Xingyu's expression and carried Jiang Yukuo upstairs. Da Feng Novel Network.
He didn't know what this kid had been doing to be so tired.
He hadn't woken up despite all the noise.
He accurately found Jiang Nuan's room, knocked on the door, and entered with Jiang Yukuo in his arms.
Jiang Nuan had just woken up from a nap and was changing her clothes.
She had put on a fruit-green shirt, with the buttons half done, revealing alluringly full curves that were both sexy and suggestive. Mu Jiuchen glanced at her and instantly felt his mouth go dry, the passionate images from that night becoming even clearer.
Jiang Nuan suddenly turned and quickly fastened the top two buttons.
Turning around, she saw her son sleeping soundly in his arms, and the anger that was about to erupt instantly subsided.
She pulled back the covers and gestured for Mu Jiuchen to put the child down.
Mu Jiuchen quickly bent down and placed his son on the bed. The light filtering in from the window shone on him. Jiang Nuan was very close to him and saw that the lobes of his ears were as red as dripping blood.
Jiang Nuan: "..." Is this Mu Jiuchen really that pure?
Seeing this scene made her forget the anger in her heart.
Mu Jiuchen took off the child's shoes, then pulled the quilt over him. A faint scent of fragrance emanated from the bedsheets.
It was the same scent as Jiang Nuan's, very pleasant to smell.
Jiang Nuan: "Let's talk outside." Her cold, indifferent voice indicated that she was angry at the moment.
Mu Jiuchen knew she would be angry, but he didn't expect her to be so angry.
He walked behind her, looking at Jiang Nuan's tall, slender figure. He smiled slightly. This Nuannuan had saved his life.
Nuannuan, I, Mu Jiuchen, will protect you with my life forever.
Once they reached the second-floor hallway, Jiang Nuan finally spoke, "When did you know about the child?"
Mu Jiuchen confessed honestly, "Little Lucky Fish and Grandpa met once. I saw the video. At that time, I didn't know Little Lucky Fish was your son. But I thought, the only woman I, Mu Jiuchen, have ever been with is you. Besides your son and me, there would be no one else. After I came back and confirmed it, I actually wanted to tell you."
"But I was afraid you would be angry like you are now. My ultimate goal is to make you fall in love with me, and for me to fall in love with you, and then for our family to be reunited."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
"Heh heh..." She laughed. "Ninth Master, stop joking. Do you think we're compatible?"
"Our lifestyles are completely opposite. You're a business magnate, and I'm a food lover. Is it possible for us?"
Moreover, for the sake of the child, there was absolutely no need for that.
Mu Jiuchen was a little annoyed when he heard this. His voice, however, was calm and unhurried. "Confident Jiang Nuan, as Dr. Vicky, how can you say such unconfident words? Or is it that I, Mu Jiuchen, am not good enough for your eyes, Jiang Nuan?"
Jiang Nuan glanced at him silently. This face was too much to her liking, but Mu Jiuchen's family was also troublesome, and she hated that kind of family.
Seeing her remain silent, Mu Jiuchen smiled and said, "Nuannuan, just wait for me to pursue you. You don't have to do anything. I officially announce today that I, Mu Jiuchen, will pursue you, Jiang Nuan, and become your future husband."
Mu Jiuchen said this with a serious expression and turned to leave without waiting for Jiang Nuan to speak.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
She lowered her head and looked at the wound on her shoulder. What was her feeling towards Mu Jiuchen? Was it to the point where she was willing to die for her?
No, no, no. She was just standing on the side of justice, which was why she pushed him away and took the bullet herself.
Jiang Nuan's mind replayed Mu Jiuchen's words: "Nuannuan, just wait for me to pursue you. You don't have to do anything. I officially announce today that I, Mu Jiuchen, will pursue you, Jiang Nuan, and become your future husband."
"Thump, thump, thump..." Jiang Nuan heard her own heartbeat, each beat strong.
