In the room, Jiang Nuan carefully unwrapped the gauze from Mu Jiuchen's finger, which was still quite swollen.
Jiang Nuan took out the medicine she had brought, disinfected it, and then evenly applied it to his little finger.
Mu Jiuchen suddenly felt a cool sensation, which relieved the pain in his hand, and a smile gradually spread across his lips.
"Nuannuan, what is this medicine? It feels so comfortable on my hand, and it doesn't hurt at all anymore."
Jiang Nuan looked up at him briefly, her tone light, "This medicine helps you recover quickly. It's especially effective for bruises and sprains. It's a folk remedy, not found in ordinary Chinese medicine."
"Really? Nuannuan, you're amazing. My grandmother has been in good spirits these past few days and mentions you every day. But you still have a few more days before you see her."
Jiang Nuan looked at his little finger and applied the medicine a second time.
This man was truly a darling of God. Not only was his face handsome, but his hands were also beautiful. His nails were like smooth jade, emitting a faint pink hue. The man's body was quite healthy.
"Yes, I made a bowl of ginger tea for the elderly lady. After drinking it, her mental state will be very good for a while. Good mood is beneficial for her recovery."
"I'm not in a good mood, so I want ginger tea too. I was so frightened because of you. I even had nightmares last night." Mu Jiuchen acted like a child vying for attention.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
After she finished applying the medicine, she left a bottle for Mu Jiuchen and instructed him, "I'll leave this medicine here. Apply it once more every night before you sleep, and it will heal faster."
Mu Jiuchen looked at the porcelain bottle on the table. Its appearance was beautiful, like an ancient rouge box, with an ancient beauty holding a fan, smiling shyly.
He then looked at Jiang Nuan again, "No, I don't like others getting close to me."
"Then why can I get close to you?" Jiang Nuan looked at him with some annoyance, wondering why Mu Jiuchen seemed like a child at this moment.
This master was truly hard to please!
Mu Jiuchen suddenly straightened up, a smile slowly appearing on his handsome face, its curve just right, dazzling and captivating.
"Because Nuannuan is different. You owe me a life." His voice was deep and resonant, carrying a bewitching aura.
Jiang Nuan took a deep breath, cursed this debt of gratitude.
"Then I'll repay it tomorrow morning." Once this favor was settled, she would feel better, and this damned man wouldn't use it to his advantage!
Only then did Mu Jiuchen nod in satisfaction. "Nuannuan, help me change my clothes. My hand hurts, and I can't change myself."
Jiang Nuan quickly scanned him from head to toe, her tone a little sharp, "Sir, men and women should not touch each other."
"Heh heh..." Mu Jiuchen looked at her with amusement. "Nuannuan, I'm just asking for your help. What are you thinking?"
Jiang Nuan: "..." Thinking of you, you ghost!
"What should I wear?" she asked through gritted teeth.
Mu Jiuchen watched her animatedly, thinking she was indeed a fun little wildcat, as interesting as he had imagined.
"Nuannuan, you choose for me."
Jiang Nuan looked at him deeply, feeling something, but she had no proof. She turned and walked into his walk-in closet. Seeing the closet, which was more meticulously arranged than a boutique, Jiang Nuan was stunned, her impoverished imagination once again overturned.
However, she wondered why all his clothes were black, with only loungewear and casual wear in grey and white.
Jiang Nuan finally found two white shirts at the back. She picked one white shirt, then chose a tie of a good color, and selected a suit that wasn't too formal. She took them out.
"Come here," Jiang Nuan called out to him.
Mu Jiuchen obediently walked over.
Jiang Nuan fastened the belt of the trousers, her face blushing as she said, "Go inside and put them on yourself."
"Oh!" Mu Jiuchen obediently pulled up the trousers and went inside. His docile demeanor made Jiang Nuan pause for a moment.
Why was he so cooperative at this moment?
Soon, Mu Jiuchen came out holding his trousers. "Nuannuan, help me with my belt."
Jiang Nuan blinked her beautiful eyes. Had she heard correctly? He wanted her to fasten his belt? Hadn't she already done it?
"Nuannuan, I have a very important meeting in an hour and must go to the company."
Jiang Nuan closed her eyes and resignedly walked over, bending down. Looking at the belt buckle, she didn't know how to do it.
"Nuannuan, push forward."
The belt was fastened under Mu Jiuchen's guidance.
Mu Jiuchen took off his shirt, revealing his toned chest. He had a great physique, a typical clothes hanger, the type who looked slender in clothes and muscular out of them.
Jiang Nuan turned her face away unnaturally. This guy was practically trying to kill her.
Jiang Nuan picked up the white shirt and helped him put it on. Her slender fingers gently fastened the buttons. Mu Jiuchen looked at her long fingers and her neatly trimmed nails. She was the only young girl he had ever met who didn't wear nail polish. Today, she wasn't even wearing makeup.
Mu Jiuchen watched her with such seriousness, only her small face slightly flushed. She truly didn't see him as a man. Mu Jiuchen felt a deep sense of frustration. He smiled charmingly and took a step forward, unexpectedly bumping Jiang Nuan's face against his burning chest. She suddenly froze, standing still, not daring to move. She could hear Mu Jiuchen's strong heartbeat.
In that instant of contact, Mu Jiuchen felt an unfamiliar emotion flood into his heart. He really liked this feeling – satisfaction, happiness!
The atmosphere became subtle.
Mu Jiuchen looked down at her cute expression, his lips involuntarily curling up.
"Nuannuan, how does my embrace feel?" His voice was so alluring it made one's heart tremble.
Jiang Nuan reacted and abruptly pulled away from his embrace, lowering her head and quickly fastening the top three buttons.
She then picked up the tie and helped him knot it. Due to the height difference, Jiang Nuan had to stand on tiptoe. Mu Jiuchen deliberately leaned down, and his lips brushed past her soft red lips precisely.
Jiang Nuan felt her face and ears burning under the intense heat. She quickly fastened the tie and helped him put on his jacket. This time, the actions were completed in one go, and she didn't look at Mu Jiuchen at all during the process.
"Can... can it be done?" Jiang Nuan's speech was even a little stammered. The usually beautiful and spirited her had finally met her match with Mu Jiuchen.
"Thank you, Nuannuan!" Mu Jiuchen smiled charmingly, turned around, picked up his phone, and looking at her flushed little face, felt extremely pleased. "Nuannuan, let's go eat breakfast first."
Jiang Nuan shook her head, "No need. I'll eat when I get back."
Her face was burning fiercely, and she urgently needed to go outside for some fresh air to clear her head.
Mu Jiuchen watched her attempting to escape. At this moment, how could he let her go?
He reached her a step faster, grabbed her backpack, and turned to walk out. "Stay for breakfast before you leave." His tone was irrefutable.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
Looking at his noble back, straight and imposing, his mere silhouette exuding an oppressive aura, she silently followed him, thinking how truly wicked Mu Jiuchen was.
