CHAPTER 245: 245: MU BAI’S SUITOR

"Have you already decided?"

"Yes, I have decided, Grand-Aunt."

"Alright, I respect your decision."

...

Mu Mingyu eventually chose the path of Cultivation, not to achieve immortality and share the life of the heavens and earth, but because he wanted more time to learn more skills and become a better all-purpose butler.

Although Mu Qiuniang couldn’t understand his ultimate goal, since he chose the path of Cultivation, she earnestly taught him the knowledge of Cultivation. How far he could go depended on himself.

"I won’t formally take you as my apprentice, but you can come listen in when Jingshu and Arong have their morning classes. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask me. How far you can go in the future will be up to your own abilities!"

"It’s my honor that Grand-Aunt is giving me this opportunity."

Mu Mingyu knew clearly that if he hadn’t become her all-purpose butler, Grand-Aunt probably wouldn’t have introduced him to Cultivation. It’s not that Grand-Aunt was stingy, but the reality of this world is—spiritual energy is exhausted, and Cultivation requires a massive amount of spiritual energy. Not everyone can make it to the end.

Recently, always busy with announcements, Jiang Nuo was occupied to death. Finally, after a week, the release date for the show "A Date with Jing" arrived, and he hurried to finish the day’s recording activities and rushed back home.

This was his and Mu Qiuniang’s first appearance on such an interview show, which revealed many details of their stories. Those beautiful memories, he wanted to share with her together.

On the way back, Jiang Nuo posted a tweet: [The show "A Date with Jing" is about to air soon, now I’m on my way home, hoping to watch the interview show with my dear wife @Qiuniang, it includes many of our "firsts," oh!]

The fans went crazy: [Aaaaah... firsts?! Are you planning to drop a bombshell, idol?]

[My friend’s friend said she was lucky enough to attend the recording that day, @JiangNuo and @Qiuniang interacted sweetly, it was full of pink bubbles, it’s overwhelmingly happy!]

[Wow! Your friend’s friend is so lucky, we couldn’t make it, such a pity! Had I known @JiangNuo and @Qiuniang were going on the show, I’d have camped outside the ’A Date with Jing’ studio entrance.]

[My roommate posted a selfie and autograph with @JiangNuo and @Qiuniang as a couple, I’m the one who really wants to cry!]

[Hahaha... I must tell you, I went to the live recording, there’s a major Easter egg inside, you must watch it! It’s absolutely, absolutely, absolutely a huge surprise! No way, I have to save this episode of ’A Date with Jing’, and watch it every day.]

[Above poster, get out!]

[Waiting for the program to air.]

...

When Jiang Nuo got out of the car, Lu Mingchen reminded him not to forget to take Mu Qiuniang’s gift.

"My wife’s? Is it what you mentioned today, that a fan sent her a gift?"

"Yes, no idea which fan sent it, it’s quite a lot, several items came together, they’re in the trunk." Lu Mingchen said helplessly, "Those fans don’t know Sister-in-law Jiang’s contact information, so they can only send everything to the company, and ask you to pass them to your wife..."

Jiang Nuo laughed, "That proves my wife’s charm is immense, maybe one day her fan base will surpass mine."

"You’re almost surpassed by your wife, and you’re still proud?"

"Hahaha... Brother Lu, don’t you know, I’m my wife’s number one fan?" Indeed, with such a fairy wife skilled in everything, he was bound to worship her wholeheartedly.

Jiang Nuo felt that he was incredibly blessed this lifetime, to have secured such an outstanding wife so early on.

"Alright, stop feeding me dog food, just take your stuff and go!" Lu Mingchen opened the trunk, and didn’t forget to remind him, "I have to visit Mu Bai tomorrow, it’s a crucial moment for her current movie, I might watch over for a few days. By then, I’ll have Xiao Cai tag along with you; be careful when you’re out for announcements."

"Alright, don’t you trust me? I won’t cause any scandals."

"Ha! You don’t even need to provoke anyone actively; there are enough admirers throwing themselves at you." Lu Mingchen was speechless, recalling the previous entangled admirers.

Having been by Jiang Nuo’s side, he knew that Jiang Nuo had always avoided trouble as much as possible, but still ended up in scandals. Although it was all the woman’s unilateral fuss, which was resolved successfully in the end, it was quite a bother having such incidents repeatedly.

"Can’t blame me for being so handsome, and having such incredible charm! You can’t expect me to cover my face, I make a living off this face." Jiang Nuo, not wanting him to stress too much, made a teasing remark.

Lu Mingchen was too lazy to pay attention to him; seeing him take out several gift boxes, he closed the trunk, and drove off without a word.

Jiang Nuo, sprayed with exhaust fumes: "..." Why is this person like this?

On the way back, he thought for quite a while and couldn’t figure out what he had said wrong. Why was Brother Lu suddenly upset? Could it be that he’s been single for too long and under too much pressure?

Maybe, he should suggest Brother Lu find a woman and relax a bit!

At this time, Jiang Nuo definitely didn’t know that actually Mu Bai was doing just fine filming her movie, Lu Mingchen really didn’t need to go watch over. The reason he was heading there wasn’t due to work, but—George Qiao, the film’s male lead, had fallen in love with Mu Bai at first sight and was hotly pursuing her.

They say strong women fear a persistent man; no matter how firmly Mu Bai rejects him, she couldn’t resist George Qiao’s enthusiasm. Moreover, when Lu Mingchen initially signed a contract with Mu Bai, there wasn’t a clause prohibiting her from dating, only a requirement to "inform" him, to avoid any unexpected scandals that might leave him unprepared.

When Mu Bai first mentioned to him that George Qiao was pursuing her, he didn’t feel much of anything. But when George Qiao suggested ice cream one day, sent flowers the next, and then invited her to discuss the script or go for a walk after extra takes...

Lu Mingchen couldn’t help but advise, "Mu Bai, you’re currently in a rising phase of your career, it’s not quite suitable to date right now. It’s better to wait until your career stabilizes. Also, you’re still quite young and haven’t met enough people to know what kind of person suits you best..."

"Brother Lu, before you say these things, can you first think about my grand-uncles? They got married younger than I am and managed to balance both love and career." Mu Bai was speechless.

"Didn’t you just say a few days ago that you have no feelings for George Qiao?" Lu Mingchen couldn’t help pointing out.

"A strong woman fears a persistent man, don’t you know?" Mu Bai openly despised.

"So you mean you’re considering accepting him?"

"We’ll see, if nothing else, I’ll bring him to meet my Grand-Aunt first. Last time I promised my mom that if I ever find a partner, they have to meet my Grand-Aunt first and get her approval."
