Chapter 248: 248: Auntie Great-Grandma’s Suitors
The next morning, Jiang Nuo had already forgotten about the gifts he brought home the previous night, until Mu Mingyu reminded him and he suddenly remembered, "Wife, I brought back some gifts for you yesterday, all from fans. They didn’t know where to send them, so they sent everything to me, asking me to pass them to you..."
"I have gifts too?" Mu Qiuniang was a bit surprised.
Mu Mingyu was also a bit surprised, yet it was expected. The great-aunt and her husband had appeared on several variety shows, gaining quite a bit of fame. If she wanted to debut, she could directly squeeze into the second or third tier of big stars.
"Yeah, surprised, right? Quickly open them and see what they are." Jiang Nuo was actually quite curious too, what would his fans give to his wife?
"Okay." Mu Qiuniang picked up the largest long box, tore off the black wrapping paper, revealing the black box inside, and when she opened it, there was a box filled with colorful rainbow roses.
At the same time, there was a delicate card inside the box, which read: Life can’t be without love. If love is absent, no matter how exciting and splendid life is, there will be irreparable regrets.
The signature read: The man who loves you the most!
Mu Qiuniang’s first reaction was to glance at Jiang Nuo, her eyes asking: Did you send this?
Jiang Nuo looked surprised: "This was sent to you? A mysterious admirer?"
What the heck! The most troublesome thing is, he was the one to pass his wife’s gift from a mysterious admirer. So, is he trying to tempt his wife into cheating?
He immediately snatched the box of rainbow roses away, "You can’t accept this, look at the other gifts."
Mu Qiuniang indifferently shifted her gaze to the other gift boxes, picked one up and opened it. This time, it wasn’t any roses or the like but a very cute plush bear, which also came with a card, saying:
Meeting you is the biggest surprise heaven has given to me! Please wait for me, I will accompany you to the end!
Signature: The man who loves you the most!
Jiang Nuo: "..." Where the hell did this fan come from?!
Mu Qiuniang looked at Jiang Nuo and blinked innocently.
"I think, it’s better not to accept this gift, look at the others, hang on, let me check first."
Jiang Nuo didn’t dare to let Mu Qiuniang rummage on her own, so he directly took the plush bear from her hands and started unwrapping the other gift packages in front of her. This unwrapping nearly made him explode in anger.
The few gift boxes he brought back were all seemingly sent by the same person, as they all had the same signature: The man who loves you the most!
Angrily, Jiang Nuo said, "Mingyu, throw all these out for me!"
"Yes, great-aunt’s husband!" Mu Mingyu tried hard to stifle his laughter, wearing a serious face as though performing an important ceremony, and took these gifts, along with the packaging, out of the living room.
"Who sends such things? Does he not know you’re married? Moreover, we are so in love, showing off our affections every day; is he blind?"
Bla bla bla, Jiang Nuo muttered a whole lot indignantly.
He’s been so high-profile about showing his love, afraid that some people might not see it, and yet someone dared to still try and pry? How could Jiang Nuo not be angry?
Zhan Jingshu was coming in from the courtyard after his morning exercise when he saw his master venting at the air, mumbling something unknown to himself; and his master seemed too lazy to bother, standing by the window leisurely sipping tea.
"Master..."
"Finished with your morning exercise?" Seeing him, Mu Qiuniang placed her teacup on the nearby table.
"Yes!" Glancing at Jiang Nuo, Zhan Jingshu whispered, "Master, what’s wrong with Master?"
"Someone sent gifts to me, and he’s angry."
His master said it so simply, but he felt things weren’t that simple? Sure enough, while having breakfast later, he got the truth from the all-capable butler, Mu Mingyu.
Zhan Jingshu widened his eyes in shock, "Master is such a fool, isn’t he?"
Handing the rival’s gift personally to the master, thus...
Mu Mingyu lightly coughed twice, "Don’t say it was me who told you."
"Rest assured, I’m not that dumb. But isn’t Master supposed to make an announcement today? Why hasn’t he left yet?"
"He probably forgot, I’ll remind him."
With that, Mu Mingyu walked to Jiang Nuo’s side, bent down, and gently reminded him in his ear: "Great-aunt’s husband, your announcement time is approaching."
Jiang Nuo looked at the time, "Is it this late already?!"
Startled, he hastily stuffed a few bites of bread, stood up quickly, and ran outside. While running, he kept muttering, "Didn’t Lu say Xiao Cai was picking me up today? Why hasn’t he shown up at this hour?"
Seeing him like this, Mu Qiuniang frowned, waved her hand, and a finely packaged lunch box appeared in her hand: "Take this to eat along the way."
"Thank you, my dear wife, you’re the best!" Jiang Nuo laughed, planted a quick kiss on her forehead.
Taking the lunch box, he continued his quick strides to head out, and just as he reached the courtyard, his phone rang — it was Xiao Cai calling.
Xiao Cai apologized profusely to Jiang Nuo, explaining that although he set out early, he got stuck on the road due to a traffic incident, so he might not make it, asking Jiang Nuo to find another way.
Jiang Nuo: "..."
Is he going to be so unlucky today? First, a mysterious rival, now ditched by his driver.
"Great-aunt’s husband, did you forget something?" Seeing him come back soon after leaving, Mu Mingyu asked puzzled.
"The driver had an issue and can’t come, could you arrange another car for me?"
"No problem, great-aunt’s husband, please wait a moment, I’ll make a call." As an all-capable butler, how could Mu Mingyu handle such a simple matter poorly? If it weren’t for Jiang Nuo always having a dedicated agent, he would’ve long arranged everything for him.
Seeing Jiang Nuo return again, Mu Qiuniang lost her appetite for breakfast, stood up, and walked over to ask, "Want me to accompany you?"
Jiang Nuo, pleasantly surprised, said, "Wife, that would be great. I wish you could accompany me every day." Flaunting his love every day, irritating those who dared to eye his wife!
"Master, what about me?" Zhan Jingshu hurriedly interjected. He hadn’t yet seen Master record a program and was eager to watch.
"Have you finished memorizing the ’Cultivation History’?" Mu Qiuniang calmly asked.
Zhan Jingshu widened his eyes, "Master, do I even have to memorize such history?!"
"If you don’t memorize it, how will you know the history of cultivation?"
Zhan Jingshu was left speechless, feeling like he was back in those grueling high school exam times.
