Chapter 276: 276: Jiang Nuo’s Background
Having an overzealous husband can be a bit of a dilemma, too!
Mu Qiuniang couldn’t help but think.
"Jiang Nuo, if you don’t want to talk about the gift, we can talk about something else. Or, we can discuss it tomorrow morning."
"How can I not listen when my wife has something to tell me? What is it, honey?" Jiang Nuo finally let her go, but still held onto her petite hand.
"Didn’t I ask Gong Leitian to help investigate your parentage last time? We have results now."
"Results already?!" It hasn’t even been a few days, right?
"That means Gong Leitian is quite capable. What, you don’t want to know your lineage so soon?"
"Not really, it’s just..." Jiang Nuo squeezed Mu Qiuniang’s fingers, feeling a bit complicated, "I always thought my lineage was a big secret, something hard to uncover. When I was young, I used to fantasize about it, but later, when I became successful, and my influence grew, they still didn’t show up. I wondered if maybe they had died? Or perhaps I don’t resemble them at all, and they didn’t recognize me. As time went on, I stopped having those hopes..."
Mu Qiuniang comfortingly squeezed his hand back.
"Honestly, honey, if it weren’t for you suddenly wanting to resolve this knot in my heart, I wouldn’t have planned to investigate my lineage any further. So many years have passed, we’ve both grown up and have our own lives, there’s no need to disturb each other. Of course, there’s a knot in my heart, inevitably, as they are my parents. I’ve always been puzzled as to why they abandoned me, was it because the family was poor, or was it because I’m not the result of their love?"
"Didn’t you say having me is enough?"
"Yes, having you in my world is sufficient!" Jiang Nuo lifted her hand, kissed it, and continued, "So, whoever they are or why they abandoned me, it actually has nothing to do with me."
"Your lineage might be more complicated than you think, so you need to prepare yourself mentally."
Seeing his wife look so serious, Jiang Nuo couldn’t help but laugh: "Could I be the son of some high-ranking official?"
"Not exactly, but not far off!"
Jiang Nuo froze: Damn! His wife meant that he’s not some poor boy, but instead, a young master from a prominent family?
"I’ll transfer the documents to you on WeChat, take a look yourself." Mu Qiuniang took out her phone and silently forwarded it to him.
"Honey, don’t worry. No matter who I am, I’ll always be your husband." Jiang Nuo kissed her hand again before picking up his phone to check.
As soon as he looked at the information, Jiang Nuo felt a damn feeling!
Not long ago, the Mu family had a conflict with the Yan family, he recognized his in-laws, and it turned out that he’s a Yan family bloodline?!
And that Yan Hao, who had a fierce fallout with the Murong family, could actually be his brother?!
"I’m about the same age as him, right? Honey, are we twins? But looking at the photo, we don’t look alike... so..." Jiang Nuo felt conflicted. Surely, they weren’t fraternal twins?
"Twins can look different too." Mu Qiuniang, having lived for centuries, found such things commonplace and said, "But as a child of the Yan family, you should have been valued by them from birth, just like Yan Hao, yet you were somehow lost. We haven’t yet discovered why this happened."
"Being able to uncover my lineage in such a short time is already quite a surprise!"
Jiang Nuo never expected to unravel his lineage so quickly; it was a pleasant surprise. He didn’t expect to get everything clear instantly. He put down the phone and continued, "That Gong Leitian is quite impressive. What does he do? He seems really good at digging into these matters."
"A special department of the government."
"He didn’t abuse his authority to investigate me, did he?" Considering how influential the Yan family is, it’s not the kind of family that just anyone can meddle with. Besides, who are the Yan family? They’re the leading family in the Capital City. They didn’t even know they had lost a child; would an ordinary person find out so easily?
If it were that easy to find out, would the Yan family really not have noticed any clues over the years?
"He didn’t have to! I gave Gong Leitian some things, he said these could be considered contributions to the country, and this convenient door was a kind of compensation from the nation."
Besides, she wasn’t doing anything harmful to the country.
"Honey, you’re so good to me!" It turned out that she had done so much for him without him even knowing.
Jiang Nuo was touched, pulling Mu Qiuniang into a cuddle, feeling incredibly warm inside.
Of course, it wasn’t entirely impossible that he was taking advantage of certain indulgences.
"Haven’t you had enough?" Mu Qiuniang was helpless.
This guy, could his skin be any thicker? Always trying to find opportunities to take advantage of her.
"Never enough, never enough, never enough! How can I when my wife is so good to me? Wife, now that my lineage is known, let’s celebrate and do something intimate."
Jiang Nuo looked at her expectantly.
Mu Qiuniang: "..."
At this moment, shouldn’t he be trying to figure out why the Yan family lost him for over 20 years?
Well, truthfully, Jiang Nuo was a bit taken aback by having such a shocking identity sprung upon him.
Right now, he urgently needed his wife’s comfort to soothe his agitated heart.
In any case, Mu Qiuniang found it impossible to sleep at all that night.
The next day, as Jiang Nuo went to work with dark circles under his eyes, but seemingly energetic, Mu Qiuniang lazily lounged on the chaise, unwilling to move.
Mu Mingyu didn’t know what happened between them last night, but as someone who was both a junior family member and the butler, he was too embarrassed to ask about the couple’s private affairs.
"Is there anything with Xiaobai?" After hearing Mu Mingyu’s report about Mu Cheng’s matters and confirming that things were recovering as she planned, Mu Qiuniang lost interest.
"Xiaobai and that male star are getting along so well, no matter how Lu Mingchen tries to dissuade them, it doesn’t work. Now rumors about them are all over the internet."
Mu Qiuniang slightly furrowed her brows: "Xiaobai doesn’t seem like someone who doesn’t understand things!"
"That’s why it’s called a scandal. The two of them are playing a couple in the show, so having some private interactions for the script is normal. Who would have thought that even then some paparazzi would catch them, leading to some rumors spreading around."
"What’s the deal with that Qiao Zhichuan?"
"Oh! Auntie, I investigated him. He was born into an ordinary white-collar family, but his mother is a beautiful Belarusian. His father fell in love with his mother at first sight while studying in Russia, and later returned to the country with her."
