Jiang Nuan never expected to receive a call from Han Yifan, only to find him waiting outside her door.
Jiang Nuan: "Okay, I'll be right out."
Jiang Nuan hung up the phone and said to Jin Yan, "Mom, I'm going out for a bit. I'll be back soon, just outside the house."
"Good, good, good. Be careful, and come back quickly for dinner," Jin Yan's greatest concern was her children's safety.
Yet, they were all so busy they were never around.
Jiang Nuan smiled, untied her apron, and went out to meet Han Yifan.
A luxury car was parked at the gate, its headlights on.
Han Yifan was dressed in white clothes and white pants; he was the man she knew who loved wearing white the most.
He exuded a clean aura, and a gentle smile graced his refined, handsome face, like the spring breeze in March, capable of melting one's heart.
The Han Yifan that Jiang Nuan saw was always so clean and dashing.
"Nuannuan," Han Yifan smiled, straightening up. Under the white lights, his smile was as bright as moonlight.
Jiang Nuan smiled and asked, "Why did you suddenly come over?"
Han Yifan smiled faintly, "I missed you."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
Her smile slightly subsided.
Han Yifan looked at her expression, "Nuannuan, you don't need to feel burdened. I was just saying it casually."
Jiang Nuan's smile was faint as she looked at him and earnestly cautioned, "Yifan, that kind of joke isn't funny."
"I know," Han Yifan replied softly, his smile gentle, "My hand is injured."
Han Yifan slowly rolled up his wide sleeves and smiled, "Can you take a look for me? It really hurts."
Han Yifan's fair arm looked muscular and strong. It was wrapped in bandages, and blood was seeping through.
Jiang Nuan looked and said, "How did you get injured?"
Han Yifan smiled and described how he got hurt, "I fell down the stairs and was scratched by a piece of metal. A piece of flesh came off. It really hurts."
Jiang Nuan glanced at him silently, "Why didn't you go to the hospital? And you're a doctor yourself."
Han Yifan looked at her quietly, "Nuannuan, the nurses at the hospital are too rough. I'm afraid of pain."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
"I can be rough too," Jiang Nuan said as she unwrapped the bandage. She saw that the abrasion was severe and bleeding fresh blood.
Jiang Nuan winced, finding it painful just to look. The wound indeed looked like a scrape.
She said, "With such a serious injury, you should have gone to the hospital first. Also, wounds like yours are prone to infection."
"That's why I came to you," Han Yifan looked at her delicate face, her ear-length hair accentuating her features.
Jiang Nuan glanced at him silently, "Come in with me first."
"Okay!" Han Yifan's eyes flickered, and he followed her inside.
"Nuannuan, how have you been lately?" Han Yifan tried to find a topic to chat about.
Jiang Nuan: "I've been doing quite well."
Han Yifan looked at her and smiled that she didn't ask about him, saying, "Nuannuan, why don't you ask if I'm doing well?"
Jiang Nuan followed his lead and asked, "Are you doing well?"
Han Yifan: "...Not well!"
Jiang Nuan: "..."
She truly couldn't see through this man.
"It's indeed lonely in a foreign land. If you're not doing well, you should come home," Jiang Nuan felt her meaning was quite clear.
"I'm sorry, Nuannuan. I caused you a lot of harm last time," Han Yifan apologized sincerely.
Jiang Nuan's tone was unhurried, yet very indifferent, "That happened a long time ago, but I still haven't forgiven you."
Han Yifan pursed his lips and said nothing.
He truly didn't deserve forgiveness.
"I'm sorry. I'll do better from now on and won't do anything to hurt you again. Nuannuan, believe me, this is the last time," Han Yifan looked at her sincerely, "the last time I'll try to take you away."
Many years ago, the moment he saw her photo at Cape One, he had fallen in love with her.
Jiang Nuan's feelings for Han Yifan were complicated and unfamiliar.
She even felt that the current Han Yifan was more dangerous than before. Beneath his gentle gaze, she saw some different emotions.
"We'll talk about the future later. I'll treat your wound first," Jiang Nuan said with a neutral expression.
"Oh!" Han Yifan was obedient like a well-behaved child.
Upon arriving at the house, Jiang Nuan saw her mother and introduced him, "Mom, this is Young Master Han. You met him last time."
"Oh! I remember. Young Master Han, please come in!" Jin Yan's smile was a little forced. Met him? She couldn't describe the feeling of Young Master Han's attitude towards her daughter.
But it was very much like love.
Jiang Nuan asked Han Yifan to sit on the sofa and went upstairs to get the first-aid kit.
Han Yifan meticulously observed the Lu residence. It was indeed the most expensive villa area in Modu, very impressive.
Jin Yan poured Han Yifan a glass of water and chatted with him, "Young Master Han, do you have a girlfriend?"
Han Yifan was taken aback. He looked at Jin Yan, his smile warm and inviting like sunshine, and shook his head, "Auntie, I don't have a girlfriend yet."
"Young Master Han, you're at an age where you should be looking for a girlfriend. Look at our Nuannuan; she already has a seven-year-old child. It's best to get married and have children early so you can better enjoy life. I also know many girls; I can introduce you to some if you like."
Han Yifan's smile was a little forced. This was their second meeting, and his aunt seemed much more enthusiastic.
"Thank you, Auntie! I already have someone I like, but she doesn't like me. I'm trying to win her over. Even though she doesn't like me, I'm very confident I can win her over," Han Yifan declined.
Jin Yan felt a bit strange hearing this.
"Oh! Really? That's wonderful. When you like someone, you should cherish them. Like our Nuannuan, Xiao Jiu cherishes her very much. Young Master Han, keep trying! Win over the woman you like soon." Jin Yan cheered him on with a smile.
Han Yifan's smile was enigmatic as he looked at Jin Yan. He liked her daughter, and she was telling him to keep trying?
But he was indeed trying!
"Auntie, I will keep trying!" His voice held a peculiar tone.
Jin Yan also felt a strange sensation. She smiled and said nothing.
Jiang Nuan came downstairs with the first-aid kit.
Jin Yan went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
She invited Han Yifan to stay for dinner, and he readily agreed.
"Extend your hand," Jiang Nuan commanded calmly.
Han Yifan remained silent, watching her open the first-aid kit, take out iodine and cotton swabs. He extended his hand towards her.
Just then, Mu Jiuchen returned. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife engrossed in treating Han Yifan's wound, while Han Yifan gazed at Jiang Nuan with eyes as soft as flowing water.
Mu Jiuchen observed Han Yifan's gaze, which was exactly like that of a lover.
Lu Chengsi was just behind Mu Jiuchen and was about to ask why he wasn't going in when he saw the scene unfold before him, so reminiscent of a love scene.
Lu Chengsi: "..."
This scene!!
It was simply beyond words!
Young Master Han's gaze was so gentle it could melt people.
Wait, why was this person at his house?
"Huh? Why are you just standing there? Aren't you going in?" Lu Jinyan's voice suddenly came from behind.
