Chapter 480: A Little Surprise
Following An Nuonuo’s pointing finger, Jiang Xu looked over.
At a distance of two tables away from them sat several guests, both men and women.
Among them was a girl, who was none other than Jiang Xue,
who had knelt down in front of him and An Nuonuo last Sunday at school, claiming her family was poor, she had no money for school, and pleading with An Nuonuo to give up the scholarship to her!
Where was the simple attire Jiang Xue had at school now?
She was dressed in branded clothes, looking flashy and glittering.
She held a glass of wine in her hand, her face adorned with a pleasant smile.
Seeing this, Jiang Xu knew right away that he and An Nuonuo had been deceived.
A person close to dying of thirst would never use water for a bath.
“How can she do this!” An Nuonuo’s face tightened.
Jiang Xu took out his phone, took several photos, and also recorded a video.
No matter if her family’s financial situation was truly bad or falsely claimed to be bad.
Based on the fact that she had deceived them alone, she could forget about getting the scholarship.
Even her behavior could very well be grounds for a major demerit.
Jiang Xue seemed to notice something and looked towards Jiang Xu.
Panic immediately surfaced on her face.
Jiang Xu threw her a contemptuous look, then withdrew his gaze.
She wasn’t worth Jiang Xu’s time or concern.
A group of young people gathered together was naturally drinking and playing various small games.
Jiang Xu was unlucky that evening, losing more than winning.
With each loss, he had to drink a glass
Before long, he had to stand up and head to the restroom.
Coming out of the restroom, he saw Jiang Xue.
She pleaded with Jiang Xu, “Brother, I was wrong, please don’t report me to the school.”
Jiang Xu said indifferently, “Step aside.”
“Please, brother,” Jiang Xue tried to grab Jiang Xu’s arm but he avoided her.
She said pitifully, “As long as you don’t tell, whatever you need in the future, I can accompany you.
Even if it’s that time of the month, we could use other methods…”
Jiang Xue was somewhat attractive and had a good figure.
If Jin Xiansheng had been there, he probably would have eagerly agreed right away.
“Beat it, beat it, beat it,” Jiang Xu said irritably, waving his hand: “Keep away from me.”
After speaking, he walked past her.
Jiang Xue’s face turned ashen.
Jiang Xu and his friends played until past two in the morning, went for a late-night snack, and then all went their separate ways.
The next day, Jiang Xu handed over the video and photos he had taken the night before to Jiang Xue.
He didn’t need to worry about the rest.
With only six more days left, An Nuonuo was about to set off for Eagle Country.
Jiang Xu also started making preparations for her.
First were the security personnel, at least thirty of them.
Then there were some emergency items, along with some things not available over there.
Everything was prepared and sent over in advance.
In the end, Jiang Xu even asked Jiang Xiaoyan to contact some reputable and dependable international mercenaries.
He had them stand by in Eagle Country.
They didn’t need to do anything normally, but in case An Nuonuo encountered any danger, one phone call and these mercenaries would rush to her rescue.
During these days, An Nuonuo intensely practiced her English.
She also had to learn about the local customs, habits, and taboos there.
Quickly, the day of departure arrived.
In the early morning, Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo to the airport.
He didn’t let anyone else come.
“I don’t want to leave you.”
The girl threw herself into Jiang Xu’s arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist.
“Hiss,” Jiang Xu grimaced: “Take it easy, baby.”
His back was in pain.
Last night, they hadn’t slept all night.
Jiang Xu had eaten a lot of oysters, drank goji berry wine, and afterwards, he
even took two “male treasures.”
He instantly transformed into a ferocious dragon.
Twelve times…
The cost was shaky legs in the morning, severe dark circles, and feeling as if he was floating on air.
It was as though he could leave at any moment.
In contrast, An Nuonuo was the picture of health, glowing and radiant.
These days, she had undergone various training and dance practices, greatly improving her physical strength and stamina.
“Oh, sorry.”
An Nuonuo quickly let go, with a look of concern, “Then you should get some good rest when you return.
It’s all my fault, I should have stopped you last night.”
“It’s okay, I just need a few days of rest.” Jiang Xu touched her head and checked the time, “It’s about time, go on, remember to call me when you get there.”
“Okay, I’m leaving now.”
An Nuonuo looked back three steps at a time.
Behind her followed thirty female bodyguards.
Even An Nuonuo found this entourage to be quite exaggerated.
But Jiang Xu didn’t think it was enough.
He wished he could have a whole battalion of bodyguards follow An Nuonuo before he would feel reassured.
“Brother Xu~”
Just after An Nuonuo had left, she turned around and ran back.
She hugged Jiang Xu and kissed his face before turning to leave.
The moment she turned, teardrops glistened, spraying onto Jiang Xu’s face.
Jiang Xu watched An Nuonuo enter the departure hall, then smiled and put on his mask and followed.
Tomorrow was Saturday, and there was nothing much to do at the company.
Since his fiancee was travelling far, it was natural for him to accompany her.
He hadn’t told An Nuonuo earlier, only wanting to surprise her.
In first class.
An Nuonuo sat by the window, staring blankly outside.
Although she knew three months wasn’t especially long, she just felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Usually, she and Jiang Xu were like conjoined twins; suddenly separated, she felt empty inside.
Jiang Xu came over, deliberately deepening his voice, “Excuse me, beautiful lady, may I have your contact information?”
Without turning her head, An Nuonuo wiped her tears and replied coldly, “No!”
She had learned to keep people at a distance while outside home.
“Miss, you’re so gorgeous, don’t be so cold. Come on, let uncle give you a hug.”
As he finished speaking, he stretched out his arms.
An Nuonuo turned around angrily.
The next second, upon clearly seeing who it was, her anger turned to surprise,
“How did you get up here?”
Jiang Xu laughed, “Tomorrow’s Saturday, I have to accompany you and check
out the company your father set up for us here.”
An Nuonuo cried with joy and pinched him, “You’re such a jerk, you could have
told me earlier and saved me all those tears.”
Jiang Xu pulled her to sit down, gently wiping the tears from her face, “Stop
crying> I need to sleep a bit.”
“Okay, make sure to rest,” she replied.
Jiang Xu put on his eye mask and fell asleep within seconds.
Last night had been truly exhausting.
If only he had a system himself.
Complete a task and get perks like increased stamina and size.
He would be unstoppable.
By the time Jiang Xu awoke, the announcement that they were half an hour
from their destination was just about to begin.
Having slept for more than ten hours was rare for him.
He stretched lazily and asked the flight attendant for some food.
He didn’t have much appetite for the food in Eagle Country.
Seeing Jiang Xu’s dark circles had vanished, An Nuonuo asked if his back was still sore.
“It’s fine.” Jiang Xu replied while eating, “You eat too, airplane food is still
better than the grub here.”
An Nuonuo responded and started eating too.
No sooner had she finished than the plane touched down.
“Let’s go.” Jiang Xu stood up, taking An Nuonuo’s hand, “Let’s see how big the
company your dad set up for us here is.”
