Chapter 358 - 358 An Nuonuo: You’re being fierce to me?_l
Liu Dahai: “Boss, the situation is just like this, and the problem is just like that. What do you think…”
After listening to Liu Dahai’s report, Jiang Xu fell into deep thought.
Recently, Liu Dahai had exerted all his efforts to investigate the people around Jiang Xu.
The results he obtained were that none of these people around him had any issues.
But it wasn’t without any leads.
He had already found some clues.
This matter might be related to a multinational corporation.
Hmm, a behemoth with a market value exceeding a hundred billion.
Of course, there’s no concrete evidence yet.
Nor is the true intent understood.
Continuing the investigation would significantly increase the expenses.
However, this matter couldn’t be stopped.
No matter the cost, the truth had to be uncovered.
After mentioning a few more things to Liu Dahai, he ended the call.
He got up and returned to the bedroom.
With a smile, he said to An Nuonuo, “Which set of new clothes do you want to wear tonight?
I think we should start with that mini-skirt, so I can see the effect.”
“Ah?” An Nuonuo blinked her eyes: “I just put the clothes in the suitcase, and then I forgot the password, sorry, I’ll have someone open it tomorrow.” Though she said she was sorry, An Nuonuo’s slightly upturned lips betrayed her inner thoughts.
Jiang Xu ‘flew into a rage,’ rolling up his sleeves: “You, An Nuonuo, dare to play tricks on me, eh?
Open the suitcase right now, or you’ll be in big trouble.”
An Nuonuo shrank her neck: “I didn’t, I just forgot it by accident, really.”
Jiang Xu: “I’ll count to three. Open it, or else, you’ll face the consequences.”
“Ah, help!”
An Nuonuo jumped onto the bed, covered herself with the quilt, revealing only her head: “I’m under the quilt, by the rules, I’m invincible, you can’t bully me.” Jiang Xu laughed.
This ‘rule’ was something he had told her himself.
Forget it, since An Nuonuo didn’t want to, he wouldn’t force her for the time being.
Besides, Jiang Xu had only just experienced ‘new skin’ yesterday and also wanted to rest.
Two days later.
At the villa’s entrance.
Jiang Xu looked at Zhou Qingyue carrying loads of bags, wearing a mask and sunglasses: “What do you mean by this?”
Zhou Qingyue removed her sunglasses and mask.
She didn’t look at Jiang Xu, nor did she answer him.
Instead, she took out her phone and dialed An Nuonuo’s number: “Nuonuo, I’m at your door, hurry up.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qingyue just played with her phone on her own.
Completely ignoring Jiang Xu’s existence.
Inside, she was a bit nervous.
This was intentional.
Not long ago, she had sought advice from a female senior in the circle on how to pursue men.
She was told that sometimes you need to give the other person a contrast.
For example, if you’ve been very enthusiastic, suddenly become very distant.
This way, the other person will feel terrible, and all sorts of thoughts would flood their mind.
Then, there might be a chance for the two of you.
She also said that people have a masochistic psychology.
The less you pay attention to them, the more interested they become.
At the time, Zhou Qingyue felt offended when she heard this.
Because that’s how she started, falling deeper and deeper for Jiang Xu.
Now Zhou Qingyue had no other choice, so she adopted this approach.
However, these tricks were utterly useless on Jiang Xu.
He simply turned around and went back inside.
Zhou Qingyue:”???”
She was dumbfounded.
Then she stamped her foot hard: “Damn it, jerk, stupid man!”
Her plan had failed again.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw An Nuonuo hurriedly running out.
Jiang Xu grabbed her, “What’s the matter with Zhou Qingyue?”
“The Century Jewelry’s evening gala is about to start,” An Nuonuo explained. “She said she wanted to come over and discuss some details with me.
And then, she just took the opportunity to stay at our place for a couple of days.”
Jiang Xu’s eyes widened in an instant, his tone grew heavier, “What do you mean, you don’t discuss such important matters with me?”
An Nuonuo’s eyes reddened at once, with tears swirling around, “Are you scolding me?”
The girl’s inherent skill to shift the topic was activated.
Jiang Xu was instantly deflated, “I was wrong, I didn’t scold you.”
An Nuonuo looked down, her shoulders shaking non-stop.
“Alright, alright, let her move in, I have no objections; I was wrong, could you please stop crying?”
Jiang Xu softened.
He also didn’t expect An Nuonuo to be so sensitive.
“You said it, you can’t go back on your word,” she asserted.
An Nuonuo lifted her head, smiling brightly.
Jiang Xu caught on.
Her shoulders shaking just a moment ago wasn’t because she was crying, it was her trying to suppress a laugh.
“Alright, alright, Miss An Nuonuo, so you’ve learned to deceive me now?” Jiang Xu said with an itchy fury, ‘Til remember this, extra time tonight.”
“Ah, no, Brother Xu,” An Nuonuo cried out, her face draining of color.
She promptly grasped Jiang Xu’s arm, pleading, “I was wrong, I dare not do it again.”
Extra time, she couldn’t handle it.
Especially now that Jiang Xu had his male treasure to help, she was even less of a match.
Even though she had been consistently learning to dance, running, and so on.
But the increase in physical strength and endurance wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight.
“Heh,” Jiang Xu released her, with a cold laugh, “Impossible, you’ll know just how formidable I am tonight.”
An Nuonuo wanted to cry but had no tears.
“What’s wrong with you?”
At the doorway, Zhou Qingyue saw An Nuonuo’s dejected look and was very curious.
“Nothing,” An Nuonuo shook her head, there were some things she couldn’t tell her, she forced a smile and said, “Let’s go, I’ve prepared your room.”
“Jiang Xu, he… won’t be unwelcoming to me, right?” Zhou Qingyue started to worry, “Don’t let me affect the relationship between you two.”
“It’s fine, Jiang Xu also welcomes you,” An Nuonuo reassured her.
“Oh, then I can rest assured, shall we sleep together tonight?”
An Nuonuo’s eyes lit up.
Right, why hadn’t she thought of this.
If she slept with Zhou Qingyue tonight, she wouldn’t have to be afraid of Jiang Xu…
“Sure,” An Nuonuo nodded eagerly, “We’ll sleep together tonight.”
Most of the time, it was the bodyguards who went to buy the groceries at home.
And it wasn’t always from the same place.
To avoid being poisoned.
Moreover, Jiang Xu had also installed a full set of automated detection equipment at home.
It could test for pesticide residue in food, whether it contained poison, and the like.
The price was exorbitant, over a hundred million.
An Nuonuo and Zhou Qingyue were busy in the kitchen.
Zhou Qingyue helped with chopping the vegetables.
“Zhou, your knife skills are pretty impressive,” An Nuonuo was somewhat surprised.
Zhou Qingyue thought, of course they are impressive, I learned them especially to chase after your boyfriend.
In terms of cooking, she had made significant progress.
The two ladies were cooking in the kitchen, while Jiang Xu was in the study dealing with the company’s daily affairs.
Apart from the chip and screen factories, all his other companies had started making profits.
“Ding!”
An email came through.
Jiang Xu saw it was from the General Manager of the group.
Regarding the entire conglomerate’s profit report for the past year.
After reading it, Jiang Xu was stunned.
