Chapter 39 - 039: You get used to eating dog food after a while.
Jiang Nuo glared fiercely at Lu Mingchen: Don't think that if you keep quiet, I won't know you're mocking me.
"Honey..." Jiang Nuo's expression changed, and he shamelessly dashed over, hugging Mu Qiuniang tightly, "I knew it, you still love me the most. The moment I thought of you, you appeared before me."
Mu Qiuniang, wrapped in his arms, calmly ended the call and patted him on the back absentmindedly, as if coaxing a child: "What do you want for dinner?"
And Jiang Nuo was indeed coaxed, acting cute: "I'll eat anything as long as it's made by you."
Lu Mingchen wanted to cover his face: Idol, where's your image?
"How about roast duck then?"
Jiang Nuo felt his mouth water and immediately responded brightly: "Okay!"
Lu Mingchen thought there was no saving him.
However, thinking about someone's cooking skills, Lu Mingchen sneakily suggested: "Later, I'll drive you two home."
And maybe get a free dinner too, hehehe...
Thus, Jiang Nuo sulkily discovered that on the way home, not only did someone cheekily drive his car, but they also entered his house.
Jiang Nuo suggested: "It's getting dark, Brother Chen, you should head home early too, don't let your parents worry."
Lu Mingchen replied: "Jiang Nuo, don't you usually care about me too little? Don't you know I'm not from around here?"
"Even if you're not from here, you can bring your parents over to stay, haven't you bought a house?"
"Unfortunately, my parents still don't want to live with me."
"Aren't you going to have a date with your girlfriend today?" Jiang Nuo continued to hint him out.
"I'm single!" Lu Mingchen looked aggrieved: Isn't it all because of this guy? I'm so busy I don't even know day from night, where would I find time to look for a girlfriend?
This guy, being even busier than me, not only got a girlfriend but also married her home for several years now.
I've been kept in the dark. Lu Mingchen thinks about it and feels sad. Boo hoo... Jiang Nuo is such a heartless guy! Betrayed the organization's trust.
Jiang Nuo quickly said: "Then hurry up and find one. Just in time for today, we're not taking up your personal time, hurry along."
Saying this, he tried to push him out the door.
But would Lu Mingchen let him succeed?
"I haven't had dinner, I have no strength." Lu Mingchen directly plopped down on his sofa, refusing to budge.
Upon seeing this, Mu Qiuniang immediately went into the kitchen to start cooking.
Jiang Nuo watched his wife disappear at the kitchen door, gritting his teeth in frustration: "Honey, don't cook for him."
"How could that be? Sister-in-law Jiang, I'm counting on you tonight."
"How can you shamelessly play third wheel..." Can he bite this guy?
Lu Mingchen spread his arms: "I didn't even know you were married. When did you get a wife? Now when people ask, I know nothing... Jiang Nuo, do you think I'm still your manager?"
Contempt.
"Hehe, I might have been a bit sneaky about this," Jiang Nuo sheepishly rubbed his nose, "I'm sorry."
Yet if given the chance again, he'd still do the same. Brothers are important, but is a wife not more so?
Besides, what are brothers for? They're meant to be fooled.
"Did the higher-ups say anything?" Jiang Nuo whispered.
"Heh, you still remember to ask? I thought once you had a wife, you didn't care about anything." Lu Mingchen continued his disdain.
"The world is vast, but my wife is the greatest," Jiang Nuo stated matter-of-factly.
Lu Mingchen choked: "So I got called into the boss's office and scolded all morning, and it's just punishment? I didn't want to spill the beans, so I took the blame for hiding it. You know, if it weren't for my shares in the company, I'd have been fired over this..."
Of course, it's undeniable that Lu Mingchen knew that even if he claimed he didn't know anything, the higher-ups wouldn't buy it.
Joking aside, as Jiang Nuo's personal manager, not knowing when his artist got himself a girl or got married, how is that possible?
If it hadn't happened to him, Lu Mingchen wouldn't have believed it either. This just shows Jiang Nuo's secret-keeping skills are really damn good!
Dammit! How unlucky must he have been to encounter such a once-in-a-lifetime oddball situation?
"Alright, you can stay for dinner," Jiang Nuo relented, "but only this meal."
Lu Mingchen cried out: "I almost got fired; you kept me in the dark for years, and it's just one meal? Jiang Nuo, that's too much!"
"Or, I'll treat you to a year's worth of dinner, and not even this one."
Lu Mingchen's face streamed with tears: What kind of friends has he made? Heartless wolves!
"Rest assured, even without your shares, I wouldn't let them fire you." Don't forget, he has shares too, okay?
He's been in the entertainment industry for years; no other hobbies, but making money is his passion.
Especially back then, when Mu Qiuniang dismissed him as too young, unable to support even himself, simply giving him no opportunity. Since then, he hasn't missed a single chance to earn money, relentlessly earning.
He's already planned; after earning a few more years, he'll quit the industry, then travel with his wife all over the place~
"Jiang Nuo, you care more about romance than friendship~" Lu Mingchen gritted his teeth.
While the two bickered, Mu Qiuniang had already finished making dinner, which they devoured like they hadn't eaten in hundreds of years.
Finally, both sat with equally stuffed bellies on the sofa, resting, staring at each other.
"You glutton, don't you eat every day? Yet you eat so much? Is this reasonable? Go help your wife already," Lu Mingchen accused someone of being hypocritical, acting all loving when someone's around, but revealing his true self when no one is.
Jiang Nuo rolled his eyes at him: "Aren't you a person?"
"I'm talking about outsiders."
"Hehe... Do you count as 'insider'?"
Lu Mingchen ground his teeth: "I remember this, Jiang Nuo!"

The next day, Jiang Nuo was up early, off to the film base for shooting, bringing along his leg accessory Mu Qiuniang, and the breakfast she prepared for the crew.
Since she started bringing breakfast, Director Zhang noticed: no one in the crew was ever late again!
Previously, managing the crew took a lot of effort on his part, and who would've thought a simple meal would win over everyone (because if you arrived late, your breakfast might be "borrowed without return" by others under various excuses)?
If only, back then, he'd had someone like Mu Qiuniang in his crew; how many hassles would that have saved?
Dining, Director Zhang suddenly realized: Jiang Nuo's role is almost done filming, and once it's finished, he won't come to the set anymore, which means...
"Oh no?!"
Leng Mengmeng suddenly exclaimed, startling her agent, who was also having breakfast: "What's wrong, Mengmeng?"
"Jiang Nuo's role is almost finished shooting!" Leng Mengmeng lamented with a teary face.
