âDonât even think about borrowing money from our classmates; Iâve already
given everyone a heads-up in the group chat.â
âAnyone who lends you money will be opposing me.
âNo one would dare take the risk of offending me by lending you money.â
Jiang Xuâs words directly left An Nuonuo at a loss.
All her escape routes had been sealed off.
An Nuonuo, deflated like a balloon, turned her head away and refused to look at Jiang Xu.
Hmph, such a meanie, I donât want to bother with him anymore.
With An Nuonuo acting like this, Jiang Xu lost interest in communicating with her too.
He decided it was best for her to rest properly.
After forcing An Nuonuo to lie down and rest, confiscating her phone, and
tucking her in, Jiang Xu finally left.
He paused at the door, turning his head to look at An Nuonuo, who was covered
in a blanket with only her head showing.
The constant temperature air conditioning was on in the room, so she wouldnât be hot under the blanket.
She actually looked quite cute like this.
He felt like laughing.
However, he had to hold it back, or else she wouldnât be scared.
With a stern face, Jiang Xu said, âIâll check in at irregular intervals, and youâll be in trouble if I find out youâre not resting properly.â
âI know,â An Nuonuo said weakly.
Now, her only strategy was to look pitiful, weak, and helpless to awaken Jiang
Xuâs affection for her.
So he would lift the ban earlier.
Jiang Xu headed to the study and turned on the computer.
There wasnât much to do this weekend.
He finished up in half an hour.
Just as he was about to find a movie to watch, he suddenly received a Weixin
friend request.
He saw the profile picture was of Lifuzhen.
Jiang Xuâs gaze flickered as he accepted the friend request from the other side.
On the other end, Lifuzhen sent a voice message: Mr. Jiang, this is Lifuzhen.
Yes, it was her voice.
Jiang Xu responded: Miss Li, what can I do for you?
Lifuzhen: I would like to invite Mr. Jiang to dinner at eight oâclock tonight, and
I hope youâll honor me with your presence.
After a momentâs thought, Jiang Xu replied that it was fine.
But he would choose the venue.
Lifuzhen said that was no problem.
Just after four oâclock, An Nuonuo started to cook.
Jiang Xu told her to make less since he had to meet Lifuzhen later in the evening.
Although An Nuonuo appeared calm on the surface, her heart was bursting with joy.
With Jiang Xu gone, she could sneak out and borrow some money.
Hmph, stupid brother, thinking I wonât have ice cream? Impossible.
An Nuonuoâs stomach pain was already gone, so she felt ready to go again.
After eating, An Nuonuo washed the dishes and prepared a bath for Jiang Xu.
With an obedient face, she said, âBrother Xu, you go take a bath first.â
Jiang Xu patted her head: âAlright, good girl.â
If it hadnât been for how she was this morning, Jiang Xu would have definitely pulled her in for a joint bath.
After the bath, Jiang Xu left the house.
Before leaving, he warned An Nuonuo sternly, âDonât go out, donât eat anything
cold, and donât borrow money from anyone, understand?â
âI know,â An Nuonuo replied obediently, âIâll just watch TV at home and wonât
go anywhere.â
âMhm.â Jiang Xu smiled, âSuch a good girl, then Iâm off.â
He shut the door with a âbang.â
An Nuonuo quickly ran to the window and hid behind the curtains.
She waited until she saw Jiang Xu leave.
She waved her little hand vigorously, âYay, Brother Xu is gone!â
She hurriedly changed her clothes, then planned to go out and find Wu
Mengmeng and Xia Xiaozhan to borrow some money and buy ice cream.
If she borrowed cash, Jiang Xu wouldnât be able to monitor her.
Iâm so clever.
Hmm, eating just one should probably be okay, right?
If I drink some warm milk before the ice cream to warm up my stomach, itâll be fine.
Just thinking about the sweet, icy cold snow cones she could eat soon, An Nuonuo was very happy.
She didnât know why, but this summer, she was especially fond of eating these frozen treats.
They could make her whole body and mind feel delighted.
A bit addictive.
âHey, why wonât the door open?â
An Nuonuo pressed hard on the doorknob, only to find it wouldnât budge at all.
At that moment, her phone rang.
It was a message from Jiang Xu: I locked the door, behave and wait for me to come back, donât go anywhere.
Jiang Xu could clearly read her mind.
He had cut off all her escape routes.
An Nuonuoâs expression at this moment was: (>â<)?
However, the potential of a person is infinite.
This little difficulty didnât stump her.
She immediately went back into the room and started rummaging through everything.
Ten minutes later, she sat on the edge of the bed, questioning life.
âWeird, I clearly remember there was change in several drawers, how come it s all gone now?â
At this time, Jiang Xu sent another message: I took all the change at home, just watch TV.
An Nuonuoâs expression now: (ODOâ).
No way out, absolutely no way out.
Jiang Xu had anticipated all her moves, she couldnât get away with anything.
An Nuonuo was like an eggplant beaten by frost, totally deflated.
In the end, she could only go to the living room dejectedly to watch TV.
Oh, my life is so hard.
Stinky Brother Xu, I hate you, I really hate you, tonight youâre sleeping on the couch, hmph.
On the other side, Jiang Xu arrived at a hotel owned by An Nuonuo.
The hotel executives naturally recognized Jiang Xu.
Hearing that he would come tonight, they had been waiting at the door for a while.
Even though Jiang Xu hadnât asked his staff to do so. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But since they did it, he was naturally happy about it.
Indeed, everyone likes to be flattered.
âHas Miss Li arrived?â Jiang Xu asked.
âShe has,â replied the hotel manager respectfully: âShe is already in the top-floor private room.â
âHmm,â Jiang Xu said as he walked toward the private lift, saying to the hotel manager, âSend more people and pay attention to security.
âYes, sir. Iâve transferred a team over from another hotel.
Upon reaching the top-floor private room, he knocked on the door.
Pushing it open, he saw Lifuzhen sitting inside.
She was dressed in a casual ladiesâ suit tonight.
Alternating blue and white, it lacked a bit of sharpness, adding a sense of homeliness.
Seeing Jiang Xu, she smiled as she got up: âLong time no see.â
Jiang Xu nodded and sat down: âHave you ordered, Miss Li?
Lifuzhen shook her head: âNot yet, you decide.â
Jiang Xu ordered a few signature dishes of the place.
After the waiter left, he looked directly at this legendary woman: âMiss Li, letâs get straight to the point, what is the reason for seeing me?
âMr. Jiang is really impatient, arenât you?â Lifuzhen chuckled softly.
She looked down at her watch: âPlease wait another five minutes.
Five minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
Lifuzhen said, âCome in.â
Then, a dozen or so fashionably dressed women entered the room. Each had an excellent figure, appearance, and presence.
The oldest among them was no more than twenty-five years old.
Upon entering, they all bowed down ninety degrees to Jiang Xu: âNice to meet you, Jiang Oppa, good evening.â
After saying that, they did not rise, but maintained their bowing posture.
Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes at Lifuzhen: âFlattery wonât work on me.â Lifuzhenâs lips parted slightly: âItâs not flattery..â
