"See, didn’t I say that what I said made a lot of sense?"
Mu Qiuniang nodded.
Then she quickly turned what she just learned into practice, pulling Jiang Nuo’s left hand over and explaining to him how important the ring was, listing its features, and telling him how many good things she’d infused into it and how much effort she’d poured into crafting it.
The ring not only allowed her to pinpoint his location and ensure his safety but also possessed a powerful defensive function (as long as the cultivator’s level was lower than hers, it was virtually impossible to break the ring’s defense).
"So powerful?!" Jiang Nuo finally realized what a treasure he was holding in his hand. Just with its formidable defensive capabilities, it would likely beco an object of mass pursuit if brought to the Cultivation World.
"Wife, only now do I realize you’ve been treating so, so well since a long ti ago."
Jiang Nuo looked deeply moved and emphasized to her: "See! If you hadn’t said anything, I wouldn’t have known. So doesn’t this prove that saying it out loud is the right thing to do?"
Mu Qiuniang was struck by inspiration—yes, if you don’t express it, how can you ensure that everything you’ve done is recognized by others?
While actions often speak louder than words, appropriate expressions of feelings can help the other party better understand your intentions.
In that mont, she felt a slight disruption in her cultivation state. Upon closer inspection, her Sea of Consciousness had substantially grown her Golden Core, leaping directly from Level 3 to Level 6, advancing by three levels in one go.
The two Golden Cores spun rapidly, forming a massive Eight Trigrams Array whose rotation generated an endless stream of Spiritual Energy to nourish the two Golden Cores.
anwhile, the spins of the Golden Cores drove the Eight Trigrams Array’s rotation, which in turn nourished the array itself.
"Wife, did you just have an epiphany?" Jiang Nuo noticed sothing amiss as he spoke but dared not interrupt when he saw his wife "spacing out." He waited until she snapped back to reality and eagerly leaned in to ask.
"Yes, I advanced three levels."
"Wife, you’re amazing! I just joined the scene, and you’ve already upgraded again. How am I supposed to catch up?"
Mu Qiuniang thought for a mont and replied, "Work harder than anyone else!"
Jiang Nuo: "..." Shouldn’t a wife be encouraging him, saying he’ll definitely surpass her in the future?
Jiang Nuo only had a one-day break to attend Old Master Mu’s birthday banquet before needing to head back to continue filming the drama.
"Brother Jiang, you’re back?" As soon as he arrived at the set, Lian Nicang approached, looking genuinely delighted.
"Hmm." Jiang Nuo gave a slight nod and had Lu Mingchen distribute the dried fish he’d brought to everyone as he brushed past her without stopping.
Lian Nicang felt a little disappointed. She didn’t even know what she was chasing. She knew he was married, yet she couldn’t help wanting to get closer to him.
Lu Mingchen noticed and quickly stepped between the two, blocking Lian Nicang’s line of sight: "Co on, co on, there’s enough for everyone! Sister-in-law Jiang personally made these dried fish—spicy and non-spicy options."
As soon as Lu Mingchen finished speaking, a large group of staff sward over.
"Really?! Sister-in-law Jiang gave us gifts? We’ve missed her so much in just a few days."
"Hahaha... You an you missed her dried fish, right?"
"Get lost! Don’t you miss it too? If you don’t want your share, why not give it to ? I wouldn’t mind having extra."
"No way! I think there’s too little as it is. If I gave it to you and my wife found out, she’d start a war at ho."
"Serves you right."
...
Mu Nan’s portion was personally handed over by Jiang Nuo.
"Back already? I thought you might stick around for a few more days." Mu Nan said as he accepted the gift.
"I wanted to stay longer, but since you didn’t give ti off, what could I do?" Jiang Nuo replied, sitting beside him with a look of grievance.
Trying to make up for lost ti, he had worked late into the night yesterday, leaving him feeling slightly drowsy today.
He yawned.
"Look at you; you’ve got dark circles under your eyes." Mu Nan gave a quick glance around to ensure no one was paying attention before leaning closer to Jiang Nuo and whispering, "How long did you work hard last night?"
"What’s it to you?" Jiang Nuo cast a casual glance at him.
"I’m just showing concern for a brother’s stamina here! If there’s any problem, I’d help you figure sothing out!"
"From your look, it seems like you’re speaking from experience. Don’t tell you’ve been with too many won and worn yourself out?" Jiang Nuo asked with suspicion.
"No way!" Mu Nan protested, "I’m a man among n, with stamina that’s second to none. Every woman who’s been with has sung my praises."
"Oh please, your bragging could reach the heavens."
"I’m serious. If you don’t believe , how about I find two won soday, and we compare?"
Jiang Nuo scoffed in disdain: "I’m already spoken for. Do you think I’m like you, willing to sleep with anyone? This lifeti, the next, and the one after that, I’ll only ever sleep with my wife."
If he managed to catch up to his wife, it would an spending lifetis devoted to sleeping with just one woman.
"Your wife has never disliked you?" Mu Nan asked, doubtful.
"Sorry, my wife has OCD. Anything touched by others, she won’t have it."
Mu Nan patted his shoulder: "Brother, you’ve had it tough!"
"People like you, who don’t experience love, wouldn’t understand. If a woman doesn’t care about sothing like that, it only ans she doesn’t love you and treats you as nothing more than a casual hookup."
"Hah!" Mu Nan dismissed the idea.
However, at the ti, he never imagined that not too far in the future, he would fall for a woman who treated him exactly like a casual fling.
Only then would Mu Nan wonder: is this karma?

Jiang Nuo had barely left when Mu Qiuniang found herself feeling a little out of sorts. Strange—hadn’t she always lived alone before?
Thinking of what he’d said last night, Mu Qiuniang posted a ssage on Weibo: [He said, sotis saying it can be more important than doing it!]
The sticky rice fanbase: [What the hell?! Am I seeing things?! The goddess posted on Weibo?!]
[Did the sun rise in the west? Goddess, well done!]
[@Qiuniang, that "him"—if I’m not mistaken, it’s @JiangNuo, right?]
[Above comnter, even a fool could see that. I just want to know why @JiangNuo would say such a thing. It’s so aningful!]
[I think I’ve cracked the code. Given @Qiuniang’s cold and distant personality, she probably doesn’t like to talk much, and @JiangNuo might’ve gotten impatient, wanting her to communicate more. Marriage is all about connection; without good communication, it’s worse than being strangers.]
[That makes sense sohow, but why does it feel a little odd?]
[Waiting for @JiangNuo’s response—feels like there’s going to be a surprise reveal.]
...
Amidst the heated conversation, soone suddenly shouted: [Check @JiangNuo’s Weibo now—you’ll feel like a single dog being abused!]
Curiosity piqued, fans flocked to @JiangNuo’s account to see what he’d posted—it turned out, both Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang were jointly delivering "dog-abuse content."
Jiang Nuo had posted a photo of his left ring finger adorned with a wedding ring.jpg with the caption: [@Qiuniang wife, if you hadn’t told last night, I never would’ve known that the wedding ring you gave was handmade by you. And I wouldn’t have realized that you’ve loved since so long ago. If you hadn’t told , I would’ve always thought that I was the only one giving in this relationship, the only one who loved you!!!]
