"Yes! But I still prefer the little girl from Jiang Nuan's family. If you can catch her for me, I'll give you anything you want."
Chu Yunying thought of that little girl who had escaped her clutches several times. She was truly beautiful, with a porcelain-doll perfection.
"Alright! I'll catch both of them for you. In return, you'll help me get a new identity, one that Mu Jiu Chen and Jiang Nuan can never find."
She knew the other party could do it with ease.
"That's very simple. I can grant you that wish, provided those two children fall into my hands. Also, Chu Yunying, I know you're a greedy woman. Greedy people are never content with their current situation, which can also be called ambition. Your ambition has already crossed your moral boundaries."
"I quite admire you for reaching this level."
Chu Yunying gazed out the window with cold eyes. If she had a choice, she wouldn't want to become such a venomous person.
If Mu Jiu Chen hadn't been so heartless, she wouldn't have taken this path.
After her heart grew cold, all she wanted was revenge.
Only after revenge would the agitated hatred in her heart disappear.
Chu Yunying's voice was low and dejected, "Thank you for your admiration. However, those two children are highly skilled in martial arts, so they won't be easy to capture."
Chu Yunying thought of a foolproof plan. She had been waiting for the right moment.
She was waiting for the moment when Mu Jiu Chen would personally kill Jiang Nuan.
She knew Jiang Nuan had been sending people to track her.
"Can you lend me a few people? This time, I want to deal with Jiang Nuan once and for all."
When Jiang Nuan died, Mu Jiu Chen would be plunged into unbearable pain.
"Oh! How do you plan to do it?" the other party asked curiously.
Chu Yunying told him her plan.
"Hahaha..." The other party burst into laughter after hearing it. "Chu Yunying, you're truly ruthless. Alright, I agree. When the plan is ready, I'll lend you the people. I also want to avenge Madam Jiang. This way, the ending will be perfect."
A sinister smile curved Chu Yunying's lips.
After hanging up, she transferred the money to Hong Bin. This matter had to be handled by Hong Bin.
Hong Bin was destined to be her scapegoat.
...
Jiang Nuan had been very busy lately. To make an antidote for the esteemed person, apart from giving Jin Tong acupuncture, she had been almost entirely confined to the pharmacy.
Even when she emerged, it was only to collapse into bed.
Half a month later, Mu Jiu Chen finally couldn't take it anymore and exploded.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Jiang Nuan had just finished bottling the antidote and could finally rest properly.
Just then, she heard an angry knocking at the door.
Jiang Nuan frowned and glanced at the door.
She put the antidote away before standing up to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, she saw Mu Jiu Chen's gloomy, handsome face.
Jiang Nuan blinked her beautiful eyes. After not paying attention to Mu Jiu Chen for half a month, she noticed he had lost a lot of weight.
"Husband, have you not been eating well during this time? Why have you lost so much weight?"
Mu Jiu Chen, who had been holding back his anger, felt it instantly dissipate upon hearing this concerned question.
He cursed himself inwardly, calling himself spineless!
A single word of concern had brought him to his knees!
"You dare to say that! You're clearly at home, yet you don't eat with me or sleep with me. Even though we live together, for the past half month, you haven't been asleep when I went to bed, and you're not awake when I wake up. It's hard to even see you. When will you be this busy?" Mu Jiu Chen's angry tone carried a hint of seduction.
Questioned repeatedly, Jiang Nuan finally realized belatedly that she had neglected her husband and children.
She had been incredibly busy for the past half month.
Jiang Nuan walked over with a smile, hugged his strong waist, and said softly and gently, "Husband, I'm sorry!"
One apology completely defeated Mu Jiu Chen.
He sighed deeply, holding her tightly, resting his head in the hollow of her shoulder.
He breathed in her familiar, delicate scent mixed with a faint medicinal smell.
Both his body and soul found immense satisfaction.
Every time he held her like this, it felt like embracing the whole world. That boundless sense of happiness filled his heart with immense joy.
"You, I've missed you so much. During this time, I couldn't bear to wake you when you were asleep, and when I woke up, you were already gone. You've almost driven me mad," Mu Jiu Chen's voice held a hint of ambiguous complaint.
Jiang Nuan smiled helplessly and asked, "Where are the children?"
Mu Jiu Chen replied, "Those two little guys are also very busy, occupied with their own affairs."
The entire family had ambitious personalities, heading out at dawn to pursue their dreams.
"Heh heh..." Jiang Nuan smiled apologetically. Thinking she had some free time and seeing his evident longing, she whispered, "Husband, would you like me to compensate you now?"
Mu Jiu Chen's eyes deepened. He looked out the window; there were still a few hours until nightfall.
He quickly shook his head. She was reserved during the day but fiery at night.
Seeing him shake his head, Jiang Nuan was a bit surprised.
In reality, she didn't know Mu Jiu Chen's little secret plan.
Mu Jiu Chen looked into her questioning eyes and added softly, "Wife, Kuo Bao and Yun Yun won't be back tonight. We'll go to a hotel tonight."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
"Why go to a hotel? Isn't it good to stay at home?" Wouldn't it be more convenient at home?
Mu Jiu Chen's deep gaze fixed on her, and he said softly, "Wife, I want to give you an unforgettable night. Let's go to a hotel, okay?"
Jiang Nuan smiled faintly, "Alright, I can't argue with you anyway."
Jiang Nuan thought, since her time was free, "Then I'll go out for a bit. I need to deliver the medicine to the esteemed person. Afterwards, I also need to go to the Lu family. Jin Tong's tumor has almost disappeared. After the last acupuncture session, she can go home. Mother has been very tired recently."
"You can just tell me the hotel's location, and I'll head there directly. It will probably be around evening by then."
Mu Jiu Chen's expression suddenly turned much colder. He gripped her hand tighter and asked with dissatisfaction, "Jiang Nuan, why do you always push me away?"
Jiang Nuan didn't quite understand why he was angry. She just wanted to give each other some space.
"Husband, you spend all your thoughts on me every day. You need your own private space too. Things that I can accomplish myself..."
Mu Jiu Chen suddenly interrupted her angrily, "Don't say any more. I know what you mean, but I'm willing to do these things for you. Do you know that by refusing me like this, you make me very sad?"
Mu Jiu Chen's expression was not good, and his low voice was filled with anger.
She always rejected his kindness!
It made him doubt her love.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
Rejected what!?
Was he so insecure?!
"Then drive me there," Jiang Nuan asked cautiously.
Mu Jiu Chen's expression immediately improved.
"Yes! Go change your clothes, you smell of medicine." Mu Jiu Chen led her into the room.
Fortunately, he had moved her pharmacy back. Otherwise, he truly wouldn't have seen her for ten days to half a month.
After Jiang Nuan changed into different clothes, they went out.
Once in the car, Jiang Nuan called Han Yi Xuan.
