Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend - Chapter 684

Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Oh, you came to dine in person.

“Sure, no problem,” Jiang Xu agreed immediately.

“Huh?” Jiang Xiaoyan was stunned, “What did you say?”

Jiang Xiaoyan had already prepared herself to be rejected by Jiang Xu.

But now that he suddenly agreed, she was thrown for a loop.

Jiang Xu laughed, “Didn’t you say you wanted to stay over at my place? Sure, that’s completely fine.”

“Are you sick?” Jiang Xiaoyan scrutinized Jiang Xu from head to toe.

Under normal circumstances, there’s no way Jiang Xu would agree to such a request.

“I’m not sick,” Jiang Xu said irritably, “You’ve helped me out so much; what’s the big deal about staying over at my place for one night?

Anyway, I’ve been staying at the company these past few days and haven’t been going home.”

An Nuonuo went back to her hometown, and he was bored being at home alone, so he simply stayed at the company to work.

“I knew it.” Jiang Xiaoyan pouted, looking aggrieved, “You’re so mean, always bullying others.”

Jiang Xu shivered, “Can you act normal?”

It really doesn’t suit Jiang Xiaoyan to act spoiled.

“Go, go, go.” Jiang Xiaoyan waved her hand, revealing her true self, “I’m so annoyed with you.”

Jiang Xu just smiled.

That felt better.

That was more like it.

Leaving the airport, Jiang Xiaoyan looked out at the streets, feeling a bit sentimental.

Having been away for such a long time, the city felt a bit unfamiliar to her.

Mainly because it was developing too fast.

As one of the four top-tier cities in the country.

Magic City changed every day.

“What do you want to eat?” asked Jiang Xu.

“Spicy food,” Jiang Xiaoyan licked her lips, “Let’s hit up a Qingcheng hot pot. I want the super spicy one.”

“Okay.”

The two of them arrived at a very popular Qingcheng hot pot restaurant.

Jiang Xiaoyan ordered a bunch without hesitation.

She was on a revenge spending spree.

Jiang Xu called Bai Xiaoya over as well.

“Oh, the Patriarch of the Bai Family has arrived,” Jiang Xiaoyan whistled at Bai Xiaoya, “You’re coming to eat in person.”

“I also take a piss in person,” Bai Xiaoya rolled her eyes dramatically, “Stop being so sarcastic.”

“Tsk tsk tsk.” Jiang Xiaoyan watched Bai Xiaoya with fascination, clicking her tongue in wonder.

Bai Xiaoya felt uncomfortable under her gaze, “Why are you looking at me with those eyes?”

“Becoming the Patriarch really is different; your aura has risen to a whole new level.”

Bai Xiaoya was noncommittal.

She had noticed it too.

Ever since she became Patriarch of the Bai Family.

Whether it was the people from the Bai Family side or the employees from ‘Blueprint’ company, they all looked at her with awe.

She was also helpless about it.

But some things were now beyond her control.

The super-duper spicy hot pot arrived.

Jiang Xu already felt uncomfortable just from the smell of it.

Bai Xiaoya was also full of fear, “This won’t kill us, will it?”

Jiang Xu quietly took out his phone, “No worries, I’m searching for a good hemorrhoid clinic nearby right now.”

Jiang Xiaoyan: “…”

Bai Xiaoya: “…”

In the end, Jiang Xu asked the waiter to bring a few bottles of milk first.

To drink some milk before eating to protect the stomach.

Jiang Xiaoyan was truly starving.

She started to eat like mad.

The hunger wasn’t physical, it was psychological.

“Ah, I can’t eat anymore, it’s too spicy.”

After just a few bites, Bai Xiaoya had to stop.

Her face was red from the spice, and she stuck out her tongue gasping for air.

Jiang Xiaoyan glanced at her, “Nice color on the tongue, pink and pretty.”

Bai Xiaoya: “…”

I always feel like this woman has become even more deranged since returning from Bear Country.

Jiang Xu didn’t eat much, mainly just keeping Jiang Xiaoyan company while she ate.

He was chatting with An Nuonuo on WeChat.

An Nuonuo sent over quite a few photos.

Most of them were of the new ancestral hall, and there were also some with other members of the clan.

Ninety percent of the money for building the new ancestral hall came from An Feng.

Luckily, Jiang Xu had arranged for Chu Youwei’s biological parents to go abroad in advance.

Otherwise, An Feng’s sudden return would have surely resulted in harassment.

Then An Nuonuo sent two selfies.

Looking at the background, they were taken inside a room.

One was of her wearing a qipao, sitting on the edge of the bed at a forty-five-degree angle.

From this shooting angle, her full figure and curves were perfectly showcased.

The second was her in a light blue long dress, which gave Jiang Xu a feeling of being transported back to his senior high school days.

Looking at the two photos, Jiang Xu’s heart raced.

It had been several days since he was last with Nuonuo.

He missed her.

His fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed and hit send, “These past few days, I’ve been frantically consuming all sorts of tonics, waiting for your return.

An Nuonuo sent back an emoticon of shock.

Jiang Xu could just imagine what her facial expression must be like right now.

“Hey,” Jiang Xiaoyan used her chopsticks to tap her bowl, her tone dripping with sourness, “Even when you’re eating with me, you have to chat with your girlfriend, huh.”

Jiang Xu smiled and put away his phone, “I have something to tell you, I’m planning to marry Nuonuo next summer vacation.”

As for kids, let’s not talk about that right now.

By next year, both of them would be of legal age to obtain a marriage certificate.

He wanted to hurry up and bring An Nuonuo back home to marry her.

No matter how good their relationship was, not marrying her always felt a bit insecure.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoya and Jiang Xiaoyan had different expressions.

Bai Xiaoya forced a smile, “Oh… that’s great, congratulations in advance to both of you.

I will definitely give a generous gift when the time comes.”

Jiang Xiaoyan didn’t speak but just continued to eat her meal.

And she was eating fast.

“Cough cough cough…”

She choked and couldn’t stop coughing.

As she coughed, tears began to fall.

The atmosphere at the scene turned somewhat heavy.

Bai Xiaoya said to Jiang Xu, “I feel like eating some fruit, could you help me buy some from the shop downstairs?”

“Sure,” Jiang Xu stood up, giving Jiang Xiaoyan a glance, “I’ll go right now.”

After Jiang Xu left, Bai Xiaoya sat down next to Jiang Xiaoyan.

Wrapping her arm around her shoulder, she said, “Cry, let it out and you’ll feel better.

I understand how you’re feeling, we’re all in the same boat.”

“Are you sick?” Jiang Xiaoyan pushed her away and said displeased, “I really choked, do you think I’m crying?”

Bai Xiaoya: “???”

She took a closer look at Jiang Xiaoyan.

Indeed, she wasn’t crying.

It turned out she was being overly sentimental.

Bai Xiaoya returned to her seat and kept rolling her eyes.

Jiang Xiaoyan scoffed, “You think I’m some normal little girl who can’t withstand this much distress?

Even if they get married, there’s still a chance of divorce.

In short, I will not give up on Jiang Xu.

Even if he dies, I’ll rush to the underworld to be with him.”

Bai Xiaoya was taken aback.

In the calmest tone, Jiang Xiaoyan expressed the most fervent love.

Probably very few people in the whole world could do that.

Upon reflection, she admitted she couldn’t go that far.

About ten minutes later, Jiang Xu came back with the fruit.
