Jiang Nuan felt her face burning fiercely.
"I, I can do it myself." Jiang Nuan quickly unbuttoned two buttons, slightly revealing her injured back. The blood had already soaked through the gauze, turning it brown.
This formed a stark contrast with her fair, creamy skin.
Mu Jiu Chen instantly felt his mouth dry. Her skin was truly white, looking so alluring.
At the same time, Jiang Nuan tried to reassure herself, thinking that people wore bikinis and walked on the streets, and she was only exposing her shoulders.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her wound, his gaze deepening. He only wished he could personally kill that man tonight.
Mu Jiu Chen took out cotton balls and iodine, carefully disinfecting the wound.
Every time his hand trembled, he could see Jiang Nuan's shoulders flinch slightly. Mu Jiu Chen felt a pang of heartache and sped up the wound treatment.
A few minutes later, with new gauze applied, Jiang Nuan slowly pulled up her clothes.
"Thank you!" Her voice was hoarse; she had been biting her lip all along, making her voice sound muffled.
Mu Jiu Chen put away the medical kit and sat down opposite her, simply watching her.
His steady demeanor exuded infinite charm.
Jiang Nuan felt extremely uncomfortable with his habit of staring at her. If he had something to say, why couldn't he just say it directly?
"Nuan Nuan, from now on, wherever I am, you are not allowed to do such dangerous things. I will do the dangerous things; you just need to stand behind me."
Mu Jiu Chen truly felt heartbroken seeing her injured. He wasn't a good person. After his mother passed away, his father remarried, and he essentially received no love. If it weren't for his grandfather protecting him with his life, it was uncertain if he would still be alive.
However, Jiang Nuan was the first person who made him feel heartache.
Seeing her bleeding made his heart ache as if being gnawed by ants. That pain, bit by bit, devoured his will, making him wish the perpetrator would be torn to pieces.
Jiang Nuan glanced at him silently and slowly buttoned up her clothes, "If I stood behind you, your head would have been smashed tonight."
Mu Jiu Chen: "..." He felt truly apologetic about this. At that moment... why couldn't he react faster?
Tonight, Nuan Nuan had saved his life again.
Jiang Nuan was very grateful for his words. Over the years, she had protected many people with all her might, and the most she received was a thank you!
Mu Jiu Chen's words were also something no one else had ever said to her.
"Nuan Nuan, drink some porridge first, then go rest." Mu Jiu Chen got up, brought the porridge, and placed a bowl in front of Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan didn't feel hungry. She had eaten little that evening.
However, seeing Mu Jiu Chen's concerned gaze, she picked up the porcelain spoon and drank half a bowl.
"Can you tell me about what happened between Xia Xia and Young Master Li now?"
Mu Jiu Chen put down his spoon and nodded, saying, "Yes."
Mu Jiu Chen told Jiang Nuan about how Li Qing Shuo and Yun Xia had gone into the wrong room that night.
After listening, Jiang Nuan mused, "So that's how it is." That's why Xia Xia was so angry and slapped Li Qing Shuo.
Why did she only slap him once? She should have chopped off his brother.
"Yes, I even joked with him when I drank with him last time, asking what if that woman got pregnant?"
"What did he say?" Jiang Nuan didn't know how to handle this matter either.
Everyone had their own choices.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her and truthfully replied, "He said it was impossible."
Jiang Nuan nodded slightly, lowering her gaze. A thoughtful look flashed in her eyes, "The child is innocent. Such a strong heartbeat, the child is very healthy. If I'm not mistaken, it's a boy."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jiu Chen almost fell off the sofa.
How could his Nuan Nuan be so amazing?
She could even tell if it was a boy or a girl.
"Nuan Nuan, how are you so sure it's a boy?" Li Qing Shuo's mother was urging him to marry, all for the sake of having a grandson.
Jiang Nuan's expression darkened. "Firstly, I am a doctor. Secondly, I have this talent. I can see when others are sick, and I can also save others from the brink of death."
"However, I need you to keep this matter a secret. I saw you go to the restroom and possibly overheard us talking, and then I remembered that scene at the hospital. That's why I'm in the same car as you tonight, and also to remind you of this."
This...
Mu Jiu Chen found himself in a difficult position. On one hand, his good friend; on the other, his future wife.
This truly put him in a bind. He couldn't offend either of them.
"No, Nuan Nuan, what is this messy relationship? My father's beloved Sweetie is her sister, and her sister is pregnant with my friend's child. Heh..." Mu Jiu Chen was amused to the point of laughter, feeling the world was quite bizarre.
Jiang Nuan hadn't considered this problem either. After all, everything was a mess right now.
Mu Jiu Chen's eyes flickered, and he remembered something else. "Nuan Nuan, the man from tonight knows Tan Xue. Tan Xue also sent someone to kill me last time, and this man is related to Jiang Shuo from back then."
Jiang Nuan's heart suddenly tightened. The truth about her and her elder brother's background was gradually becoming clearer.
It had now been proven that her elder brother was a child of the Rong family.
Then, would Jiang Shuo also use the same method to swap her and other children?
And that man's words tonight, "It's you."
So, that man knew her.
"Nan Zhou and I will continue to investigate this matter. We will know the truth soon enough."
"Nan Zhou, Nan family's third young master, you seem very familiar with him?" Her voice was cold, carrying a hint of sourness.
Jiang Nuan clearly felt his emotional shift.
She nodded, "Very familiar. We've known each other for many years."
Mu Jiu Chen: "..."
Did he have to spend his life looking at her back and loving her?
No! No!
Who was he, Mu Jiu Chen? He would never stand by and watch his woman fall into another man's arms.
That little rascal Nan Zhou definitely had impure thoughts about Nuan Nuan.
"Nuan Nuan, we've also known each other for many years. When are we going to get our marriage certificate? After all, the child is already this old."
What was being considerate? Why should he torment himself and make others happy?
He wanted to make himself happy.
Jiang Nuan frowned and saw that Mu Jiu Chen didn't seem to be joking. She laughed in exasperation, "Go find another woman. I haven't even dated yet, and I don't want to get married."
Mu Jiu Chen: "..."
"You, Jiang Nuan, are going to give someone as outstanding as me away to someone else?" Mu Jiu Chen's face turned from pale to dark, then from dark to pale.
Jiang Nuan stood up and looked at his displeased expression, feeling a sense of superiority from finally winning against him once. However, this man was truly stupid; she had given him a chance to date, and he hadn't even taken it in.
"What you think is outstanding might not be outstanding in my eyes. Look at how well He Ming Run pursues Yuan Yuan. What nice things he says."
Mu Jiu Chen also stood up and looked at her slightly smug little face, asking in a deep voice, "Are you taken in by He Ming Run's approach?" I don't know how, but I can learn for you.
How could he be so humble?!
Jiang Nuan shook her head slightly and said indifferently, "My mind is a mess. You calm down. I'm leaving."
