Jiang Nuan blinked, waiting for the pain to strike.
However, the hand that fell upon her gently massaged her shoulders.
Jiang Nuan smiled brightly, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Husband, I knew you wouldn't have the heart to hit me?"
Mu Jiu Chen felt so stifled he was about to go crazy. "I don't have the heart to hit you, but your solo act of venturing out like this truly makes me angry."
Jiang Nuan kissed his alluring red lips, looking at his distinguished expression. She smiled and said, "I have confidence. Now that I have you and the child, I won't be reckless like before."
"Hmph! You still say you weren't reckless?" Mu Jiu Chen thought of the scene just now, still feeling lingering fear.
"If they had guns, you wouldn't have survived even with nine lives," he said, still very angry.
A place like this should have been set up temporarily. If it were a permanent establishment, the guards wouldn't just be carrying stun batons like today.
Jiang Nuan promised, "Husband, I'll never go alone next time. I'll tell you next time."
Mu Jiu Chen remained angry, ignoring her as he looked out the window.
He spoiled her too much, making her utterly lawless!
She dared to do something so dangerous by herself.
Actually, he didn't know that Jiang Nuan had done things even more dangerous than this before.
Mu Jiu Chen couldn't help but glare at her again. She had no idea how agonizing his journey here had been.
Even knowing she was skilled, the thought of her fighting alone made him unable to rest easy.
Jiang Nuan looked at him, seeing his genuine anger, and felt at a loss.
She slowly shifted his body, sitting on his lap.
Her arms hooked around his neck, her posture extremely intimate. She bit his lips hard.
Mu Jiu Chen's body tensed. He pulled her into his embrace forcefully, holding her close, and bit her soft lips hard in return.
He said displeasured, "If I could believe your words, would I still be this angry? You always say you won't do it again, but you always make me worry."
"Husband," Jiang Nuan called out softly. Why was he so hard to appease this time?
Hearing her coquettish voice, Mu Jiu Chen's anger instantly vanished.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her with helpless eyes. Seeing a mischievous glint flash in her eyes, he sighed in exasperation, "I really don't know what to do with you!"
Jiang Nuan smiled like a blooming flower, saying nothing, and slowly moved away.
But Mu Jiu Chen didn't want her to go.
Her actions had successfully ignited the desire within him.
Jiang Nuan looked at his infatuated gaze and pinched his arm hard.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her with a wronged expression.
"You pinched me." His tone was like that of a child who had been wronged, instantly melting her resolve.
Jiang Nuan pointed out the window at the people passing by on the road.
"Bear with it. You can do whatever you want when we get home."
He smirked wickedly, his handsome eyes holding a hint of slyness. His voice was seductive and alluring, "Anything at all?"
Jiang Nuan nodded shyly, afraid that his impulse might lead him to act right there in the car.
"Mhm!"
Mu Jiu Chen let her down and said, "Let's go home. I'll have them send dinner home for us."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
...
At a certain club!
Hong Bin heard the report from a subordinate who had escaped. The entire hotel had been raided, and everyone inside was arrested.
The woman who ruined everything was so ugly she was unbearable to look at.
The surveillance was destroyed, and all evidence was seized. Hong Bin had no idea who the woman was.
After listening, Hong Bin wasn't particularly angry.
It was only a matter of time before temporary establishments were shut down, but he had made a lot of money in just half a month.
Hong Bin indifferently hung up the phone and said to Chu Yun Ying beside him, "Yingying, this place has been sealed, but I've already prepared the next location."
Chu Yun Ying looked at him, asking with some confusion, "Brother Hong, there are many willing women. Why do you risk capturing those who are unwilling?"
She didn't quite understand Hong Bin's methods.
She only found out later how Hong Bin had made his money so quickly; it turned out he was doing illegal things.
He was ambitious, but he didn't dare to use it on the Shadow Hall.
Instead, he used the money from falsifying accounts to set up these temporary establishments to make money, and it was much faster than she had imagined.
Hong Bin smiled at her, saying, "Yingying, you don't understand. Men nowadays like to seek excitement. Life is too stressful, but if they can tame a woman, it gives them a great sense of accomplishment and thrill, and they'll pour endless money into it.
Routine services only satisfy their physical needs, but not their spiritual ones."
"The women's pleas and cries of pain, and the moment they surrender, allow men who are suppressed or stressed to feel an unprecedented sense of superiority."
Chu Yun Ying's lips parted slightly as she looked at the man before her.
This Hong Bin made her feel like a stranger.
Seeing Chu Yun Ying staring at him blankly, Hong Bin lowered his head, kissed her bright red lips, and smiled, "Yingying, I've made a lot of money during this time. All the money is for you. Buy whatever you want. Once our influence is strong enough, we'll start plotting against the Hall Master, and everything I'm doing will eventually lead to the Hall Master."
Chu Yun Ying instantly smiled. She slowly hooked her arms around Hong Bin's neck. "Brother Hong, you're becoming more and more charming. I really like you."
Her gentle voice and soft body made Hong Bin's heart flutter.
He hugged the woman in his arms tightly, his infatuation deepening.
Hong Bin whispered, "Yingying, I truly love you. I won't let you down."
Chu Yun Ying smiled happily, her eyes filled with a sinister gleam. Mu Jiu Chen, this should finally bring you down, shouldn't it?
I will never forget the harm you've done me in this life.
Now, she didn't even have to do anything; Hong Bin's actions were all proceeding in the direction she had predicted.
...
After dinner, Jiang Nuan kept her promise.
Whatever Mu Jiu Chen wanted her to do, she would do.
Mu Jiu Chen's ardor made Jiang Nuan wish she could kick him away.
Late into the night, Jiang Nuan finally fell into a deep sleep. The moment she closed her eyes,
Jiang Nuan thought, this man's needs are extraordinary.
Should I give him some medicine? I can't take it anymore.
...
The next morning, Jiang Nuan still got up on time. After breakfast, Mu Jiu Chen personally drove her to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, she entered the ward, and Song Baoli handed her the old man's examination results.
He smiled and said, "After a month of adjustment, the old man's condition is getting better and better."
Jiang Nuan looked at the old man in the hospital bed. His condition was very good.
She said, "Grandpa Hua, let's go into the operating room."
Hua Ying also breathed a sigh of relief. Grandpa had finally reached this day.
Grandpa Hua took a deep breath and smiled, "Nuannuan, I'll be fine. Don't be nervous."
"Hehe..." Jiang Nuan chuckled. "Grandpa Hua, this is my first time encountering something like this. I'm always the one comforting patients; this time, I'm being comforted by a patient."
The old man smiled kindly, "I just don't want you to feel pressured."
Jiang Nuan smiled and walked over, helping the old man down with Song Baoli.
As they pushed him out of the ward, Hua Yulong and a group of reporters blocked their path.
