A few girls couldnât help but tremble in their delicate frames.
Jiang Xu when truly angry was terrifying, as if the temperature in the air around him dropped several degrees.
âBrother Xu, donât be so fierce,â An Nuonuo said, âItâs not their fault.â
âItâs all my fault,â Jiang Xiaoyan said with self-reproach, âIt was because I wasnât careful when going down the stairs and slipped.
Nuonuo tried to catch me and ended up hurting her foot.
But there are professional doctors and various medicines on the cruise ship, Nuonuo didnât damage her bones.
The doctor said that she would recover in about a week, so you donât have to worry.â
An Nuonuo nodded along, âYes, donât be like this, it scares me.â
JiangXuâs expression softened, âAs long as youâre okay, Iâve got it.â
He then stepped forward and swept An Nuonuo up in his arms.
He said to the other girls, âSorry, I was just too worried earlier, I didnât scare you, did I?â
The girls all envied An Nuonuo deep down.
Jiang Xu truly loved her to the bone.
It was dreadful to imagine the crazy things Jiang Xu would do if An Nuonuo was really hurt.
Being held by Jiang Xu in front of so many people, An Nuonuo was still a bit embarrassed.
She buried her whole head in Jiang Xuâs chest and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Having been apart for four days, she felt an inexplicable sense of security when she smelled his scent again.
Zhou Qingyue and the others quickly followed.
Bai Xiaoya teased An Nuonuo, âNuonuo, you were quite tough and brave on the ship just now.
Now that youâve seen your boyfriend, youâve immediately turned all delicate.â
Zhou Qingyue and Jiang Xiaoyan both started laughing too.
This made An Nuonuo quite embarrassed.
She wanted to retort, but couldnât find a reason to.
After leaving the port, the group split up.
Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo back to the villa and set her down on the sofa.
An Nuonuo held onto JiangXuâs arm, her voice crisp and pleasant, âQuick, praise me; am I not very well-behaved and great?â
Looking at An Nuonuo who was still behaving like a little girl, Jiang Xu smiled.
He patted her head, âVery very good, you are the best and most well-behaved girlfriend in the whole world.â
Upon hearing Jiang Xuâs praise, An Nuonuo revealed a bright and breezy smile.
Then she revealed her true intention, âConsidering how well-behaved and great Iâve been, shouldnât you reward me for it?â
âWhat kind of reward?â Jiang Xu asked warily, âBesides wanting to eat ice cream or popsicles, anything else can be discussed.â
Her face fell instantly, âI just want to have some ice cream, just one will do.
Please, I havenât had it in so long, and Iâm being so good.â
Having said that, she kept blinking at Jiang Xu, trying to turn him with cuteness and coquetry.
Jiang Xu had been about to refuse, but seeming to remember something, he said with a smile, âNo problem, just wait here; Iâll go buy it for you.â âWow!â An Nuonuo cheered, âBrother, youâre the best, love you.â
Jiang Xu left to buy ice cream.
On the other side, Jiang Xiaoyan followed Zhou Qingyue to her house.
The first thing they did when they got back was to make a beeline for the balcony of Zhou Qingyueâs second-floor bedroom.
They opened the telescope and aimed it at Jiang Xuâs villa, across the street.
They caught the scene of Jiang Xu leaving just in time.
âSo what are they up to?â Zhou Qjngyue asked eagerly.
Jiang Xiaoyan made a face, âJiang Xu left, not sure what for; Nuonuo is sitting on the sofa by herself.â
Zhou Qingyue suggested, âPerhaps heâs taking a shower, or preparing for some warm-up exercise?â
Jiang Xiaoyan replied, âPossible, but they most likely wouldnât be in the living room.
Or even if they were, they would draw the curtains.â
Jiang Xiaoyan thought, how great it would be if she could hack into the cameras in Jiang Xuâs house.
Then she could watch whatever she wanted whenever she wanted.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xu had installed cameras only in the living room, and they werenât even the kind that connect to the internet.
Even if Jiang Xiaoyan had skills like a top-level hacker, she couldnât hack into them.
Zhou Qingyue, âLet me have a look, will you?â
Jiang Xiaoyan, âJiang Xu isnât back yet. Thereâs nothing worth watching.â
Zhou Qingyue,ââ¦â
Zhou Qingyue was frustrated but had no way to deal with Jiang Xiaoyan.
Thereâs a saying that everything meets its match.
At the moment, Zhou Qingyue could be said to be utterly dominated by Jiang Xiaoyan.
Whether it was in terms of schemes or company collaborations, Jiang Xiaoyan was the one calling the shots.
Zhou Qingyue was now somewhat regretting having formed an alliance.
She sadly thought to herself that even if she really, truly ended up with Jiang Xu in the future, her status wouldnât be much to score.
An Nuonuo would surely be the wife, Jiang Xiaoyan would be the second wife, and sheâd be the mistress.
Otherwise, why not just bring Bai Xiaoya into the mix as well.
That way, she wouldnât be the lowest in status.
As Zhou Qingyue was lost in her daydreams, Jiang Xu returned with ice cream. Seeing Jiang Xu with a big bag full of ice cream, An Nuonuoâs eyes instantly lit up.
It seemed like every cell in her body was cheering.
Brother Xu is so nice today, buying so much.
It must be because he saw I was hurt and wanted to comfort me.
Just thinking about soon being able to gorge on sweet, cold ice cream without limits made An Nuonuo blissfully happy.
She couldnât help but wriggle her little toes in excitement.
But after Jiang Xu came back, he didnât immediately hand over the ice cream to An Nuonuo.
Instead, he went to the kitchen.
A short while later, he put a bowl full of steaming something in front of An
Nuonuo, âEat up.â
An Nuonuo blinked, âWhatâs this?â
Jiang Xu said matter-of-factly, âIcecream.â
An Nuonuo, âHuh??â
Jiang Xu revealed a hint of a mischievous smile, âEating cold things isnât good for the stomach, so I just heated it up a bit.
After all, itâs made from the same ingredients. Eat it, it wonât taste good once it cools down.â
âWuu wuu wuu, youâre bullying me.â An Nuonuo was on the verge of tears, âI wonât eat it, youâre mean.â
Jiang Xu smiled mischievously, âThe really bad side of me, you havenât seen that yet.â
An Nuonuo huffed, âI donât care, I want to eat icecream, and if you donât give it to me, from nowon weâre sleepingin separate rooms.â
This girl was willing to make such threats just to have a taste of ice cream.
âOkay, okay, fine, if I donât spankyou every three days, youâll scale the roof and strip the tiles, isnât that so?â Jiang Xu put on a âferociousâ expression.
After closing the living room curtains, he said menacingly, âLetâs see how I deal with you!â
Following that, Jiang Xu displayed the long-lost ultimate moves from the martial arts world. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Opposite him, Zhou Qingyue and Jiang Xiaoyan were frantically scratching their ears and cheeks in anxiety.
It was always like this; every time it came to a crucial moment, they couldnât see a thing.
Isnât this just deliberately making people suffer?
âAhh ahh ahh, I give up!â Zhou Qingyue went crazy for a moment, but then she came up with an idea.
She turned to Jiang Xiaoyan with a sly grin, âI have something really cool, do you want to have a look?â
