Chapter 42 - 042: The entertainment industry is a big dye vat.
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 become a beautiful misunderstanding!
"I have something 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 me anymore; otherwise, you wouldn't refuse to accompany me!
Mu Qiuniang: "You used to make films without needing me by your side." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"That was before. Back then, no one knew you were my wife."
"Does it mean that from now on, I have to accompany you to every filming?" Mu Qiuniang asked in puzzlement.
"Why can't you? Besides, you stay home 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 home, she was always there.
Mu Qiuniang looked at him steadily, a bit unhappy: "Why can't I have plans?"
How come she never noticed before how domineering he was?
"Honey~" Seeing her unhappy, the once-confident Jiang Nuo immediately softened, "I'm just concerned about you, you know. I was always out working hard to earn money with no time 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 me 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 someone 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 me?
I've already taken ninety-nine steps toward you, can you take the last step towards me?
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 member might be in trouble, and I need to handle it."
"Family?" This was the first time 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 met Mu Bai before, she only guessed he might be a 'younger generation' because of the rare surname Mu.
"But, you've never introduced me to them..." Jiang Nuo felt extremely 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 times.
"Am I not supposed to be seen?" Jiang Nuo asked directly.
"No." Could she say the last time she saw the Mu family members was when her big brother was still alive?
"Then why don't you introduce me 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 meet her family?
"They're all younger generations, there's no need to meet 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 mean 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 someone's daughter, I should at least pay respects..." Jiang Nuo, who lacked a sense of security, was unwilling to give up. She hadn't mentioned a word about her relatives. Maybe she never intended to?
What does he mean 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 fame and money, he might think she was after his fame 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 handsome?
"You don't need to pay respects. After some time, I'll let the Mu family meet you."
Since it's possible to accompany him for a lifetime, letting him meet 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.
