Mu Qiuniang looked at him with confusion: Wasn't she worried about him?
She often placed 'lucky charms' and 'noble person talismans' on him, ensuring that noble people would assist him with anything he did and that his luck would be excellent.
If he still encountered trouble despite all this, it could only be said he was a reincarnation of misfortune, and she could do nothing about it.
Nonetheless, Mu Qiuniang wisely chose not to explain.
Let this beco a beautiful misunderstanding!
"I have sothing to do tomorrow, so I won't be accompanying you to the filming." Mu Qiuniang suddenly said during dinner.
Jiang Nuo was startled: "Why?"
"I have errands."
"Honey~" Jiang Nuo's face was full of grievance, clearly saying: You don't love anymore; otherwise, you wouldn't refuse to accompany !
Mu Qiuniang: "You used to make films without needing by your side."
"That was before. Back then, no one knew you were my wife."
"Does it an that from now on, I have to accompany you to every filming?" Mu Qiuniang asked in puzzlent.
"Why can't you? Besides, you stay ho all day with nothing much to do."
"But I have plans tomorrow." Mu Qiuniang replied seriously.
"What plans could you possibly have?" Jiang Nuo looked skeptical, not believing her.
He couldn't help it; he often had to go out for filming in the past, so he wasn't aware of what she was busy with while he was away.
Anyway, as soon as he got ho, she was always there.
Mu Qiuniang looked at him steadily, a bit unhappy: "Why can't I have plans?"
How co she never noticed before how domineering he was?
"Honey~" Seeing her unhappy, the once-confident Jiang Nuo imdiately softened, "I'm just concerned about you, you know. I was always out working hard to earn money with no ti to accompany you, so I don't know what you're busy with all day."
Mu Qiuniang: Could she say that she has been busy with cultivation all along?
"Honey, you're my wife, and we are the closest people in this world. Logically, I should be the one who knows you the best, just like you know best in this world." Jiang Nuo said with grievance, "You see, no matter what I did before, I would always tell you, so you'd never have to hear about it from soone else..."
So, you see, I share everything, but you're unwilling to share anything.
I've been such a good example; shouldn't you learn from ?
I've already taken ninety-nine steps toward you, can you take the last step towards ?
Jiang Nuo isn't a fool.
They had been married for three years, yet he didn't even know what she did for a living. He knew she had secrets, but he always told himself not to rush; whatever secrets she had, one day she would tell him herself.
It wasn't that he didn't want to wait or lacked patience; he was just afraid she wouldn't give him the opportunity to 'listen.'
The look Jiang Nuo gave her was full of anticipation, worry, and complexity: Would she speak?
Would she allow him to step into her mysterious world starting with a small matter?
Mu Qiuniang suddenly froze.
She always thought she was 'indulging' his feelings and choices, but it turns out he had been 'indulging' her selfishness and neglect.
She thought that as long as she agreed to his pursuit and accompanied him for a 'part of his life journey,' she was giving him the greatest gift, but in fact, he never had a sense of security.
"Actually," Mu Qiuniang hesitated, then said, "there's nothing much, just... a younger family mber might be in trouble, and I need to handle it."
"Family?" This was the first ti Jiang Nuo had heard her speak of unexpected 'relatives.' Before this, even when they got married, no relatives showed up. He had always thought she, like him, was an 'orphan.'
"Aren't you an orphan?" Jiang Nuo asked in shock.
Mu Qiuniang blinked: "When did I say I was an orphan?"
She started on the path of cultivation, which didn't allow easy ties with relatives that could hinder cultivation, so she rarely stayed in touch.
Besides, she had been cultivating for over a hundred years. Her so-called siblings had long passed away, and now only their descendants were alive, with even less contact.
Just like when she t Mu Bai before, she only guessed he might be a 'younger generation' because of the rare surna Mu.
"But, you've never introduced to them..." Jiang Nuo felt extrely aggrieved, "We've been married for years, and never even visited during holidays."
He felt more and more like an 'unseen mistress' hidden away like in ancient tis.
"Am I not supposed to be seen?" Jiang Nuo asked directly.
"No." Could she say the last ti she saw the Mu family mbers was when her big brother was still alive?
"Then why don't you introduce to them?" Jiang Nuo complained.
He was an orphan and had no choice. But she wasn't an orphan. Why wouldn't she let him et her family?
"They're all younger generations, there's no need to et them."
"What about your parents?"
"Passed away."
"No siblings?"
"Passed away."
"Nephews, nieces? Also, during festivals or holidays, shouldn't you pay respects to the deceased elders?"
"I don't need to."
She was walking the Immortal Path, and once she embarked on it, the ties between people and immortals were cut naturally.
Until her parents and siblings passed, the natural bond with mortal relatives was severed, so there was no need for her to pay respects.
If she were to do so, it would actually cut short the lifespan of those who had entered the cycle of reincarnation, which wouldn't be good for them.
In truth, she wondered, shouldn't she and Jiang Nuo also be 'people and immortals on different paths'?
But back then, no matter how hard she tried to avoid him, even setting up a confusion array, Jiang Nuo always managed to find her effortlessly.
This could only an the 'destiny' between her and him was deep, and she couldn't sever it.
Unable to understand or avoid it, she could only 'indulge' him.
"But since I'm marrying soone's daughter, I should at least pay respects..." Jiang Nuo, who lacked a sense of security, was unwilling to give up. She hadn't ntioned a word about her relatives. Maybe she never intended to?
What does he an to her?
Without that marriage certificate, which he was sure only they could personally get, he would absolutely think the certificate was fake.
Get it for a few bucks, fool him.
If it were now, with his fa and money, he might think she was after his fa or fortune, but back when they got married, he was just a poor orphan. What did she see in him?
It couldn't be said that she foresaw his success or found him too handso?
"You don't need to pay respects. After so ti, I'll let the Mu family et you."
Since it's possible to accompany him for a lifeti, letting him et them is no matter. If during that period their destiny is severed, and she has to leave him, having the Mu family take care of him would be good for him too.
Thinking this through, Mu Qiuniang nodded.
And she felt more strongly, maybe she should 'save' the declining Mu family for the sake of her big brother.
