An Nuonuo wasnât filming at the moment.
Upon hearing Jiang Xuâs plea for help, she said without a second thought, âThen Xiao Hui might want to go out and play; why donât you take her out for a walk?â
âOkay, Iâll try that.â
Jiang Xu hung up the phone and swiftly picked up the little one and dashed outside.
What Jiang Xu hadnât expected was this.
As soon as they got outside, she stopped crying immediately.
âYou little stinker!â Jiang Xu said, annoyed, and gently smacked her bottom, âSo this was your game, huh?â
âGiggle giggle~â
The little one, not sure if she understood or not, let out a series of clear, ringing laughs.
An Nuonuo called again.
Jiang Xu was holding his younger brother with one hand, and he answered the call with the other.
âIs she still crying?â
âSheâs not crying anymore; youâre really good at this.â
âHehe, if you stay a few more days, youâll understand once you get the experience,â An Nuonuo said,
âBrother Xu, when you take her out, remember to bring diapers, formula, a thermos, and such.â
âAlso, itâs best to bring an extra set of clothes and a hat, in case it gets windy.â
âOkay, got it.â
âMmhm, Sister Xiao Yan is looking for me, I need to go take care of something,â
âLove you.â
âLove you too.â
âââ-
Jiang Xu embarked on his babysitting journey.
Hmm, where to go have fun?
A walk in the nearby park, maybe.
A few bodyguards followed covertly.
As soon as the little one was outside, her big, sparkling eyes found everything astonishing.
She kept clapping her hands and making baby noises.
âWow, this little girl is so adorable,â a passerby said, eyes gleaming.
âThatâs my younger brother,â Jiang Xu proudly declared.
âSo cute, Iâve never seen such an adorable little girl.â
âIf I had such a pretty daughter, Iâd even set a table for the village dogs.â
âââ-
Quite a few passersby stopped to praise the little one in all sorts of ways.
However, they all seemed to know their limits and no one tried to touch her.
Someone recognized Jiang Xu.
They took photos and videos and posted them online.
This instantly sparked a heated discussion among netizens.
Then, the topic #Jiang Xu Babysitting soared to the trending searches.
He truly was a trending phenomenon.
He could make it to the trending searches with little effort.
A certain young girl saw these pictures online and immediately set off.
In the park, as soon as Jiang Huiyan arrived, she became the belle of the ball.
The old men and women in the park fell in love with the rosy-cheeked little one.
The little one wasnât shy either; she greeted everyone with a smile and even waved her hand.
She melted the hearts of all the seniors around her.
Some people wanted to pinch her cheeks, but Jiang Xu stopped them.
They could look but couldnât touch.
Outsiders carried too many germs, and the little oneâs immune system wasnât as strong as an adultâs.
After about an hour of play, Jiang Huiyan grew tired.
She just lay in Jiang Xuâs arms and fell asleep.
Jiang Xu found a quiet place.
And just held her.
Watching the lake in front of him.
This scene was also very harmonious, very warm.
Untilâ¦
A girl in hot pants and a tank top, with fair skin and a fiery figure, walked past him.
Then âaccidentallyâ fell.
âAh~â
The young girl let out a sultry cry of pain.
Clutching her left ankle with both hands, her eyes rimmed red: âIt hurts so much~â
Even with a bit of a whining tone, can you handle that?
Jiang Xuâs gaze stayed firmly on the lake not far away.
Someone said that looking at distant sceneries could help prevent myopia.
âExcuse me, young man~â Seeing that Jiang Xu was indifferent, the girl had no choice but to speak up.
She looked at him with an expression of helplessness, unable to fend for herself, âCould you please help me get up, thank you~â
It seemed that it was only at this moment Jiang Xu noticed her.
He slowly lowered his head and gave the girl a gentle smile.
Just as the girl thought Jiang Xu would help her up,
she saw Jiang Xu put his finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture: âKeep it down, donât disturb my sister. Go cry somewhere else.â
The girl: â???â
No way, how is this different from the scenario she had anticipated?
Alright, alright, man, youâve caught my attention.
Large teardrops in the girlâs eyes fell as soon as they formed.
âIâm sorry, Brother, itâs my fault, I didnât mean to fall.â
âIf I have offended you, Brother, I apologize.â
This tea drama was stronger than the Puâer tea Jiang Xu had collected for many years.
Inside, Jiang Xu was utterly unmoved.
He just calmly watched her.
The girl felt uncomfortable being stared at by Jiang Xu and forgot to cry.
She asked timidly, âBrother, why are you staring at me?â
Jiang Xu: âIâm just wondering how much water⦠oh no, how many tears you can shed.â
The girl: ââ¦â
She knew she had met her match.
This man was not someone she could easily manipulate with her usual small tricks.
So, she stopped pretending.
She quickly got up, dusted herself off,
and extended her hand to Jiang Xu: âHi, my name is Li Rongrong, ârongâ as in fluffy. Lifuzhen is my aunt.â
Jiang Xu glanced at her but showed no intention of shaking hands.
He simply said, âI havenât washed my hands.â
Li Rongrong said cheerfully, âNo worries, I donât mind that you havenât washed your hands.â
âWhat I mean isâ¦â Jiang Xu looked at the girl who obviously was in her rebellious phase, âyou havenât washed your hands.â
Li Rongrong: ââ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Her mouth twitched, wishing she could take off her sock and stuff it into Jiang Xuâs mouth.
Why didnât her aunt mention that this man had such a sharp tongue?
Li Rongrong withdrew her hand, took a deep breath, and said, âI donât have any agenda, I just wanted to get to know you.â
She had once heard about Jiang Xu from the mouth of Lifuzhen.
That this man was tough to deal with, even she couldnât handle him.
So Li Rongrong became interested in Jiang Xu.
She was a top-tier rich second generation.
What she loved most was to have those men at her beck and call.
Just recently, feeling bored, she had come across Jiang Xuâs information online.
And so she had eagerly made her way here.
Only to encounter the first Waterloo of her life.
But she definitely wasnât about to give up just like that.
Where would she put her reputation as âQueen of the Seasâ then?
Jiang Xu stood up: âIâm not interested in you, stay away from me.â
Although this kid was rather pretty, Jiang Xu never had much of a liking for this non-mainstream type.
âHey hey hey, donât run away.â Li Rongrong chased after him.
âLet me tell you, I have a listed company in Bai Xiong Country, and a huge network, too.â
âYou wonât lose out by being friends with me.â
Jiang Xu paused in his steps.
Bai Xiong Country and Bear Country were brother countries.
With a population of over a hundred million, Bai Xiong was a vast market.
In the future, Bai Xiong Country was also part of Jiang Xuâs business plans.
However, the situation there was somewhat special, and it was quite difficult for foreign companies to blend in.
He sized up Li Rongrong from head to toe.
Not until he had made the girl feel completely uncomfortable did he finally speak.
