"Master! Brother Qi'an! I was wondering why Godmother said someone else hadn't arrived yet. Turns out it's you!"
Jiang Nuan stood up in surprise, looking at Cheng Shuqiao with a kind smile, her excitement was beyond words.
Although she had chatted with Cheng Shuqiao a few times before, it was all over the phone. If she really counted, she hadn't seen Cheng Shuqiao for a long time.
but--
"So you can explain to me why you made me a sitting duck without telling me in advance."
Hearing Jiang Nuan bring up the old story, Cheng Shuqiao's smile froze on his face, obvious embarrassment flashed in his eyes, he coughed lightly, and couldn't say anything.
"Well, well, it's, you know, it's..."
Jiang Nuan laughed secretly in her heart but didn't show it on her face. Seeing that Cheng Shuqiao really couldn't say anything, she pretended to be sad and said.
"Master just doesn't care about Xiaonuan's life or death. Xiaonuan understands, Xiaonuan understands everything. Xiaonuan is fine, Xiaonuan is not sad."
"Oh! No, no, no, don't talk to Master like that, my dear disciple. Master is afraid of you talking like that. Master knows you are sad, but don't be sad yet. Master has brought gifts for you and Xiaobao!"
"What gift?"
"Eat first, and then we'll talk after dinner."
Jiang Nuan looked at Cheng Shuqiao with a smile in his eyes, but did not continue to tease his master. Instead, he sat down obediently.
During the meal, Fu Yanci took Jiang Huai to the bathroom. Seeing Fu Yanci leaving the table, Lu Tinghao couldn't help but quietly "sell" men to Jiang Nuan.
"Xiao Nuan, are you really not going to consider Tianyu? If that doesn't work out, look at your senior brother, Qi'an, he's pretty good too! Plus, you know each other really well. If you trust me, you can't go wrong!"
"Godfather, is the food tonight not delicious enough?"
Lu Tinghao was a little confused when he heard Jiang Nuan's words.
He was clearly talking to Nuannuan about dating, so why did Nuannuan suddenly start talking about food?
Cheng Qian'an was stunned for a moment, then smiled and continued eating in silence, with no intention of answering Lu Tinghao's questions.
Zhuang Muqing was as considerate as ever, and she explained for Jiang Nuan.
"Nuannuan meant for you to stop talking. She and Yanci are doing fine together, but you're just worrying about nothing."
Lu Tinghao was stunned by what he said and subconsciously wanted to refute.
"But……"
"Okay, okay, stop talking. Nuannuan finally comes home for a meal. Don't say anything that will upset her. If she is bullied in the Fu family in the future, she will naturally come back to us for support."
Zhuang Muqing looked at Jiang Nuan as if seeking confirmation after he finished speaking.
"Am I right, Nuannuan?"
Jiang Nuan understood the meaning of Zhuang Muqing's words, and her heart was filled with emotion. She nodded with a smile.
At this time, Lu Tinghao also understood the secret words of his wife and daughter. He muttered to himself, but did not continue the topic. Instead, he tapped Lu Xun with chopsticks.
"Did you hear what your mom said? From today on, we two must exercise well! Intensify our exercise! To prevent that bastard Fu Yanci from bullying our Nuannuan, stop fiddling with those crappy computers of yours all day long. It's not a good look for you to stay out of the house."
Lu Xun looked aggrieved. He was eating peacefully, so why was he suddenly beaten?
"No, I won't treat Nuannuan badly."
Fu Yanci brought Jiang Huai back to the dining table, looked into Lu Tinghao's eyes seriously and made a promise.
Lu Tinghao did listen to what his wife had just said. He did not refute Fu Yanci's words, but changed the subject to talk about Jiang Nuan's trip to Country Q.
"Nuannuan, what do you mean by being a sitting duck when you said that you're being used as a living target?"
Lu Tinghao only learned fragments from Chen Yi and Feng Li. They did not tell him many details, so Lu Tinghao only knew what happened in general. He also knew that Cheng Shuqiao successfully got back the key medicinal materials to cure "crying blood", but he knew nothing about Jiang Nuan's near death.
"Huh? Nothing, I was just teasing my master."
Jiang Nuan shook her head and politely declined Lu Tinghao's invitation to talk about this topic, but she was afraid that Lu Tinghao would be sad, so she simply avoided the main point and asked Cheng Shuqiao about the "crying blood" incident.
"By the way, Master, did you bring the herbs for Godfather's illness? You can go on your journey after Godfather is cured, saving you two or three trips."
"I know, I know. Am I such a careless person, your master?"
Cheng Shuqiao ate a chicken leg and said to Jiang Nuan with a frown.
Lu Tinghao felt very happy when he heard Jiang Nuan talking to his master like this just to show her concern for him. Although he knew that he shouldn't be jealous of Cheng Shuqiao, who raised Jiang Nuan, he still couldn't control his emotions and even the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
So Jiang Nuan quietly covered up this topic, and even Zhuang Muqing didn't notice Jiang Nuan's little thoughts.
After dinner, Cheng Shuqiao took out gifts for Jiang Nuan’s two children as agreed.
When I was on the phone with Qi'an before, he mentioned that Xiao Nuan had found a boyfriend, and like Xiao Nuan, he was raising a child alone. Xiao Nuan not only had no objection to this, but she also liked her boyfriend's child very much and even treated him as her own son.
Originally, Cheng Shuqiao thought that Jiang Nuan was coerced by Fu Yanci, so she was with Fu Yanci, and was very angry, so when she just came in, she didn't even look at Fu Yanci.
But after today's meal, Cheng Shuqiao also accepted Fu Yanci as his cheap son-in-law in his heart.
When taking out the gifts, Cheng Shuqiao was extremely grateful. Although he didn't like Fu Yanci at first, when he heard Cheng Qian'an say that Jiang Nuan treated the child as his own son, he subconsciously prepared two gifts out of love for him.
Jiang Huai and Fu Yichen each took a small pill from Cheng Shuqiao, turned it over and over in their hands, but couldn't figure out what it was.
Jiang Huai and Fu Yichen looked at each other and then turned their gaze to Jiang Nuan, but Jiang Nuan shook her head and said nothing.
Jiang Nuan could indeed smell the effect of the medicine, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she waited for the two little ones to ask Cheng Shuqiao themselves.
Jiang Huai hasn't seen Cheng Shuqiao for a long time, and Yi Chen hasn't even seen Cheng Shuqiao. Jiang Nuan thinks they should be given more opportunities to communicate.
Seeing that asking Jiang Nuan for help failed, Jiang Huai turned around and asked Cheng Shuqiao for help.
"Grandpa! What is this medicine used for?"
"Well, after you eat it, you won't have to worry about bad guys knocking out our Xiaobao and Yichen."
"Grandpa is awesome!"
"Hahaha, of course!"
