Chapter 977: Focus
The warmth of the mouth enveloped her finger, warm and comforting, and her heart inexplicably felt a tickling sensation. Indeed, the pain had dissipated quite a bit.Mu Yan looked at the man’s guilty expression, feeling a warm sensation in her heart.
There were quite a few people coming and going in the parking lot. Mu Yan, afraid of being seen, whispered, "Alright, it doesn’t hurt anymore."
Jiang Jingheng released her finger, wiped it clean with a tissue, and then checked it. The nail was red, and just thinking about it made him feel the pain.
He looked at her and asked, "Are you going to pinch me again in the future?"
Mu Yan replied unhappily, "You’re the one who made me angry."
"Next time you want to pinch me, let me know, I’ll lift up my clothes and let you pinch," Jiang Jingheng said with a serious face.
Mu Yan was amused by his words, looking at him displeased, "Are you telling others that I’m abusing you?"
Even she felt a bit sorry for him hearing that.
"I don’t mind being abused by you, but only physical abuse is allowed, not emotional," Jiang Jingheng raised his eyebrows.
Mu Yan was at a loss for words, wondering how the topic had drifted so far.
"I’m getting hungry, let’s go eat."
"Alright." Jiang Jingheng kissed her finger, then let go and started the car.
On the road, Mu Yan brought up the incident of Zhuang Chujiao and Guan Chao’s broken limbs, knowing it was indeed his doing.
"How do you know Zhuang Chujiao’s leg wasn’t broken?" Mu Yan asked him, surely he didn’t have people monitoring the mother and daughter’s every move?
Jiang Jingheng replied calmly, "Things happened too coincidentally, so I had someone check it out, and it was found out."
Mu Yan thought that Zhuang Chujiao got what she wanted anyway, if she wanted a broken leg, then let her have one.
If she had known earlier that the broken leg was fake, she would have probably done the same as Jiang Jingheng.
She then asked, "Then why did you go after Guan Chao? Aren’t you afraid others will know it was you who did it?"
She didn’t have the capability to deal with two people at once, most would associate it with him.
"What’s that got to do with him getting what was coming?" Jiang Jingheng snorted lightly.
Mu Yan, seeing his proud demeanor, felt sweetness and warmth in her heart.
She hugged his arm, smiling brightly, "Hubby, you’re so good to me, I’ve always wanted to deal with him, you finally helped me vent."
Seeing the genuine smile on her face, Jiang Jingheng’s tense body relaxed a bit too, relieved she wasn’t displeased.
There were some things he could keep from her, some he couldn’t, so he chose to speak up, also testing her limits.
Nonetheless, he didn’t want her to think of him as ruthless and have a grudge against him.
He suddenly asked, "What do you want for lunch?"
Mu Yan thought for a moment and said, "I want crabs, the ones with eight legs."
October was the time when crabs were at their best, just thinking about the delicious crab roe and crab butter made her mouth water.
Jiang Jingheng, seeing her happy look, didn’t want to dampen her spirits. Over the past one or two years of recuperation, her cold womb condition had improved significantly, at least during her periods, she didn’t suffer as she used to.
"Alright, let’s have crabs."
Lian Jun’s efficiency was high, securing a reservation within minutes.
At the restaurant, Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng, as usual, stayed in a private room.
When the crabs were served, Mu Yan’s eyes almost glued to them.
A large plate held six steamed crabs, accompanied by two orders of crab-stuffed oranges, a portion of spicy crabs, crab roe and crab butter fried rice, clam soup, a vegetable dish, and a steamed fish.
Mu Yan, looking at the whole table of dishes, asked the man beside her, "Can we finish all this?"
"If we can’t finish, try your best, otherwise Mrs. Jiang will accuse me of abuse for not giving her crabs," Jiang Jingheng chuckled, then picked up the crab utensils to help her with the crabs.
Mu Yan was about to use her hands to peel, but with him doing it for her, it saved her the trouble.
Watching the crab meat being placed piece by piece onto her plate, she felt content. Feeling satisfied, she took out her phone, snapped a pre-meal photo, and posted it online, with someone’s slender, fair hand instantly becoming the focus.
