Chapter 722: 722: A Proper Drama?
She instinctively took a step back, then hurriedly said, “I… I have a boyfriend now, we are very much in love, and we’re going to get married soon.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Shiyen felt a wave of heartache.
Had my love ended before it even began?
Then I’ll have to pursue Zhou Qingyue again.
With that thought in mind, he turned around and looked at Zhou Qingyue with longing eyes.
Zhou Qingyue was shocked and thought, dude, don’t mess with me.
She quickly said, “Youwei, when did you get a boyfriend? Weren’t you always single?
If you have a boyfriend, what’s his name, what does he do, how old is he, and how long have you two been together?”
“Ah?” Chu Youwei was suddenly stumped, not knowing how to answer.
“I get it.” Zhou Qingyue smiled, “You’re joking with everyone, aren’t you? You’re not really in a relationship, right?”
Chen Shiyen turned around to look at Chu Youwei.
Seeing her eyes flitting around in panic, his own eyes lit up, “Miss Chu, so you were joking with me? Then, let’s add each other as friends, shall we?”
“…” Chu Youwei didn’t know what to do and cast a plea for help towards Jiang Xu.
“Young Master Chen.” Jiang Xu touched his nose, “Nuonuo’s cousin has a rather sensitive nose, and you haven’t showered in over ten hours, have you?
Maybe… go take a shower first?”
“Ah?” Chen Shiyen panicked and quickly smelled himself.
Though he couldn’t detect any odor, he still hurriedly left to shower to avoid offending the lady.
After he left, everyone in the room breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Then Jiang Xu glared at Zhou Qingyue, “That was a bit too much, huh? Dumping the problem on Youwei like that.”
“I didn’t mean to, I’m sorry Youwei.” Zhou Qingyue apologized to Chu Youwei with her hands together:
“I just couldn’t take it anymore. If he keeps coming here to harass me every day, healing will definitely become more difficult.
So, could you just bear with it for a while? Once I’m better, I won’t trouble you anymore.”
“This…” Chu Youwei didn’t know what to say.
Jiang Xu said irritably, “Bear with it my foot, deal with the trouble you’ve caused yourself.”
Chu Youwei is An Nuonuo’s relative, which means she’s his family, and of course, he had to protect her.
“Hey, fine then.” Zhou Qingyue gave in.
“Solving this guy is actually pretty simple, isn’t it?” Jiang Xiaoyan said, stroking her smooth, white chin:
“From Chen Shiyen’s behavior just now, it’s not hard to see that he’s just a flirty scumbag who falls in love with everyone he sees.”
“Of course, he might not be aware of it himself.”
“So, to get him to stop harassing Zhou Qingyue, we just need to find another beauty to divert his attention.”
Zhou Qingyue’s eyes lit up, “Jiang Xiao makes sense, I…”
“What did you call me?” she was interrupted by Jiang Xiaoyan halfway through her sentence.
She saw Jiang Xiaoyan staring at her with an icy gaze.
Zhou Qingyue sensed trouble and hastily flashed a sheepish smile, “I called you Jiang Xiaoyan.”
“You clearly said Jiang Xiao Dog!”
“You heard wrong.”
“I couldn’t have heard wrong. You’ve been making up stories about me all day long. Today, we’re going to settle our grievances!”
“Ah, no, help!”
Jiang Xu shook his head and said, “Now that I’m back in the country, I should head home first.”
“Everything has been arranged, so just focus on recuperating here, and call if you need anything.”
With that, Jiang Xu eagerly left with An Nuonuo.
After being apart for a week and seeing each other again, Jiang Xu was frighteningly strong and frighteningly rich.
An Nuonuo said to Chu Youwei, “Then, cousin, I’ll head back first…”
“Sure, take your time on the road.” Chu Youwei said, her face slightly flushed.
Although she had never been in a relationship,
she had been working for a long time.
Under the influence of some people around her, she had learned a few things, more or less.
The two of them hurriedly leaving now, and not having seen each other for so long, were definitely going to… ride horses…
Jiang Xu drove home himself.
“Brother Xu, slow down…” An Nuonuo guessed what he was about to do.
She weakly said, “I got my period…”
“Huh?” Jiang Xu was stunned, “What’s the matter? It’s early this month, isn’t it supposed to be another three to five days?”
Having been together for so long, Jiang Xu knew that An Nuonuo’s periods were always very regular.
It was rare for it to come much earlier.
An Nuonuo said with some embarrassment, “During the time you went to Bear Country, I was staying up all night with Sister Xiaoya watching all sorts of TV shows and movies.
Maybe that made my life a bit irregular, so it came early, I guess.”
Jiang Xu asked warily, “TV shows and films, are they serious ones?”
“…” An Nuonuo gently slapped him, “Naughty brother, of course, they are serious.”
“Oh, that’s fine then.” Jiang Xu sighed in relief, “But it’s okay, even if you have your period, it doesn’t matter, there are other ways.”
“…” An Nuonuo shrank her neck, “Can I refuse?”
Jiang Xu, “Refuse once, it’ll add ten more times, try refusing.”
An Nuonuo straightened her back immediately, her flawless face full of resolve, “Serving Brother Xu is my unshirkable duty!”
Jiang Xu’s lips curved up, and he pushed the accelerator down firmly.
They returned home at the fastest speed.
Then Jiang Xu took a shower first, without saying anything.
Following closely…
Several hours later, Jiang Xu was refreshed and clear-headed.
An Nuonuo then went to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
The phone rang; it was a call from Wang Zhang.
He answered it.
“The new Mei Zhu mobile phone, loaded with the latest 14nm chips, will be launched tomorrow. I’m letting you know in advance.”
“So fast?” Jiang Xu was a bit surprised.
Originally, he had estimated it would be around mid-March, but it had come a month early.
“Of course, I and many engineers didn’t even take a break over the New Year, not like you, you son of a bitch, soaking every day in the tender land.”
“Is there a possibility…” Jiang Xu said with a smile, “that you couldn’t handle it anymore and used overtime as an excuse to avoid your wife?”
Wang Zhang immediately got angry, “Bullshit, that’s not true, I didn’t, stop talking nonsense.”
Jiang Xu, “See, you’re getting anxious again.”
“…” Wang Zhang rolled his eyes hard, “Can’t be bothered with you.”
Jiang Xu, “If it’s launching tomorrow, there probably isn’t much stock, right?”
Wang Zhang, “Only about ten thousand units.”
“Not enough.” Jiang Xu shook his head, “Wait a few more days, you need at least a million units before holding the press conference, postpone it.”
Wang Zhang was shocked, “You’re crazy, Jiang Xu, stock up a million units?
That’s a high-end phone that costs over five thousand each!”
