"Xiao Moran, are you delusional?" Su Xiaonuan laughed heartily. "That's your comrade's factory. You're just helping to manage the business. You told me that yourself, and now you're going back on your word. Don't think that just because you came up with a few ideas and made the business successful, you can use that opportunity to climb the corporate ladder."

"I...I wasn't telling the truth..." Xiao Moran stammered. "I...I wanted to give you a surprise."

He wouldn't have revealed this if his rival hadn't come knocking on his door. After much hesitation, he finally told the truth.

However, the Sanwen Nuan bedding factory did not disclose this information.

"This isn't a surprise, it's a shock." She reached out to touch his forehead. "I think you're talking nonsense."

“Boss lady, the boss isn’t lying. Warmth brand mattresses are owned by the boss.” Chen Lan poked her head out of the kitchen to clarify the facts for Xiao Moran. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask the other three. We all used to work in the factory.”

Su Xiaonuan called the other three over and asked them. It turned out that the Warmth brand mattress was indeed a factory independently operated by Xiao Moran.

This was indeed a huge surprise for her.

Xiao Moran was surprised to find that she had succeeded so well, and she even understood all of this man's thoughts.

Her name is Su Xiaonuan, and the factory he founded is called Warmth Mattress. It goes without saying that he puts her first.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.

But Su Xiaonuan wouldn't show her gratitude on the surface.

After suppressing the turmoil in her heart, she coughed lightly again. "Xiao Moran, don't forget our agreement. You have no right to control me now, and don't expect me to come home and be your cook."

“Honey, listen to me,” he pleaded. “We’re not short of money now, why do you have to come out and show your face in public? A woman should stay at home and take care of her husband and children. If you want to open a restaurant, you can hire someone to manage it. You can just be a hands-off boss.”

"What's wrong with women?" She put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, and puffed out her chest, looking aggressive. "Looking down on women? Xiao Moran, don't look down on women. Women can do anything that you men can do. You think you're so great just because you own a factory? Just you wait and see, my chain of restaurants will soon surpass your Warmth brand mattresses."

After saying that, he called Chen Lan over. "Go and tell the chef to cook Jiang Yi's dishes."

"Boss lady, Jiang Yi has been admitted to the hospital. Do we still need to prepare dinner?" Chen Lan looked at Su Xiaonuan with a troubled expression.

"Get ready, I'll take him to the hospital." Su Xiaonuan snorted. "Someone came to the restaurant openly and honestly to eat, and some people got upset and even injured him. So, as the owner, I'll provide door-to-door service and personally feed him. Otherwise, how can we demonstrate our restaurant's attentive service?"

"You dare..." Xiao Moran's eyes narrowed dangerously, staring at her for a moment before suddenly opening them, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "If you dare to bring him food, I will beat him so badly that he will never be able to get out of bed again."

"You want me to dare?" She raised her fist at him. "Let's see if your fist is harder than mine?"

"You..." He was so angry he couldn't speak.

Indeed, he couldn't beat her.

If he dares to confront her head-on, he definitely won't be a match for her.

No, we need to change our strategy.

"What do you mean 'you'? Just admit defeat!"

“Honey, we’re family, so let’s not stand on ceremony. Since I’m the one who injured Jiang Yi, I’ll take care of delivering his meals for the next few days. I’ll not only deliver meals to him every day, but I’ll also hire someone to take care of him. Is that alright?”

Xiao Moran's face was full of smiles.

Although his smile looked worse than his tears, he did his best.

In order to prevent her from having any contact with Jiang Yi, he had no choice but to lower himself.

"No way!" Su Xiaonuan smiled coldly. "Don't I know your tricks? You're not going to take care of Jiang Yi, you're taking the opportunity to humiliate him. You're like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, you have no good intentions."

"I really didn't have any bad intentions; I genuinely wanted to take care of Jiang Yi."

"Keep your sincerity to yourself! I won't let you go. Since you injured Jiang Yi because of me, I definitely have to resolve Jiang Yi's resentment. Otherwise, if his parents come to my parents, things will become even more complicated." She said this on purpose to make him less likely to act rashly next time.

She knew he was jealous, and also a little pleased.

But he shouldn't have beaten Jiang Yi so badly that he ended up in the hospital.

It's his fault for not knowing how to handle things properly when fighting with his love rival.

Such a tough attitude is a warning to him not to kill Jiang Yi next time.

Between rivals, minor squabbles might be a lubricant to warm up their relationship, but he shouldn't have gone too far. If something serious were to happen, she wouldn't be happy no matter who was hurt.

Xiao Moran could no longer hold back, and his smiling face turned into a bitter one.

I felt uneasy.

When Chen Lan handed the food to Su Xiaonuan, Xiao Moran shamelessly pressed himself against her again. "Honey, let me take you to the hospital."

"I'll go by tricycle!"

"Why take a tricycle when there's a car available?" he said, pulling her hand and walking away. "I'm not going to the ward with you; I'll wait for you in the car."

He was thinking that as long as he went along, he could secretly eavesdrop outside the ward.

Although eavesdropping is not something a gentleman should do, he had to be wary of Jiang Yi.

After all, Xiao Nuan and Jiang Yi have been childhood sweethearts.

If it weren't for Lan Yin's scheme, Xiao Moran would never have had any connection with Su Xiaonuan in his entire life.

"Then you have to keep your word." Su Xiaonuan relented, after all, his double-cab was faster and more comfortable than the tricycle. "When we get to the hospital, you can only wait for me in the car, and you're not allowed to secretly follow me."

"Okay, I won't follow," he replied.

Completely hypocritical.

Her words amplified his unease, making him think she had something to say to Jiang Yi. He couldn't miss this opportunity; if she really wanted to say something, he would definitely step forward to help.

So, after dropping Su Xiaonuan off at the hospital entrance and parking the car, he watched her disappear before getting out of the car and chasing after her inside.

Jiang Yi was brought to the hospital by him, so of course he knew which ward he was in.

As he was eavesdropping furtively outside the ward, a man stood silently behind him.

A chilling aura emanated from him, causing him to unconsciously turn around and glance back, his whole body stiffening.

That look in his eyes sent chills down your spine.

Xiao Moran tried to escape, but was blocked by the massive body that had pressed forward.

There was nothing he could do; he didn't want Xiao Nuan inside to know, so he didn't dare to make a sound. He could only gesture, pointing inside and then at himself, to tell her that he had come to visit the patient inside.

"Are you mute?" The man seemed to understand, yet not quite, and looked at him coldly. "Since you've come to see a patient, why don't you go inside? What are you doing lurking around outside?"

Xiao Moran was caught in a dilemma. When he heard footsteps, he covered his face with his hand as if he was too ashamed to face anyone.

Sure enough, Xiao Nuan's shrewish voice rang out. "Xiao Moran, you treacherous man who doesn't keep his word! You said you'd wait for me in the car, but you secretly followed me to eavesdrop. You're not a real man."
