Chapter 782: Chapter 782: I Trust You My Ass

“This is indeed very presumptuous of you,” Jiang Xu’s face darkened, “Does someone ask about another man’s wife right off the bat?”

“Mr. Jiang, please don’t misunderstand,” Liu Qiang panicked and quickly explained:

“I don’t mean to covet your wife, I just like her—ugh, I mean I just wanted to meet an old acquaintance.”

“She’s gone abroad for work,” Jiang Xu said, his face not blushing and his heart not skipping a beat, “It will probably be a month or so before she can return.”

“Is that so?” Liu Qiang sounded somewhat disappointed but didn’t push it any further.

He smiled with effort and stood up, “Well, if that is the case, I will take my leave now. We can chat another time.”

“Click.”

Just at that moment, the door to the office was opened, and An Nuonuo walked in: “Honey, let’s go eat.”

After marriage, An Nuonuo had always called him ‘husband,’ and never ‘Brother Xu’ again.

Jiang Xu couldn’t help but massage his forehead.

This timing was just too unfortunate.

Liu Qiang gave Jiang Xu a disgruntled look.

The man had actually deceived him.

If it weren’t for the sheer coincidence of An Nuonuo coming in, he might have missed the chance to meet her.

“Nuonuo?!” Liu Qiang’s eyes lit up upon seeing An Nuonuo, filled with immense excitement.

“You are?” An Nuonuo looked at him puzzled, feeling a touch of familiarity, but unable to recall exactly who he was.

Liu Qiang hadn’t seen the girl who haunted his thoughts for so many years.

He found that even though the girl was now married, he still liked her deeply.

Even more, being married wasn’t a drawback but rather a plus.

He had seen many well-shaped foreign models abroad, but in the end, found they all lacked harmony.

Compared to the girl before him, none of them were a tenth as attractive.

And she also had an exceptionally innocent-looking face.

After seeing An Nuonuo again, the Prime Minister’s spirit within Liu Qiang blazed fiercely and was completely activated.

“Nuonuo, it’s me, Liu Qiang,” Liu Qiang said, his face full of excitement.

“Ah?!”

An Nuonuo was shocked.

She had not expected to meet him so soon after just talking about him a couple of days ago.

An Nuonuo’s first reaction was to quickly run to Jiang Xu’s side.

Grabbing his arm, she said to Liu Qiang, “Weren’t you studying abroad? How come you’re back? This is my husband, Jiang Xu.”

Jiang Xu was very pleased with his wife’s reaction.

Seeing how close the two of them appeared, Liu Qiang was even more excited.

It made him doubt his own life.

Do I really have some kind of bizarre fetish?

Impossible, that’s absolutely impossible.

Liu Qiang let out a metaphorical mole-like shriek in his heart, yet his face maintained a gentle smile as he said, “I know already. I’ve graduated from university abroad and have come back to take over the family business.”

“Uh… currently, I have a few projects worth several billion each waiting for me.”

“I also took time out today to meet an old friend.”

Not giving the couple a chance to speak.

“Sigh,” Liu Qiang sighed and said, “In my memories, you were a thin and weak little girl who didn’t like to talk much.”

“I never imagined that upon our next meeting, you’d become a nationally famous super beauty.”

Jiang Xu also smiled and said, “I appreciate the care that Mr. Liu showed towards my wife when she was younger.”

“She mentioned to me that you said you were a very good friend of hers.”

He deliberately emphasized the word ‘friend.’

Liu Qiang seemed not to hear the implication in Jiang Xu’s words.

Still maintaining his smile, he said, “It’s already noon. Why don’t we have lunch together? My treat.”

An Nuonuo shook her head, “I just ate my fill, I’m really sorry, maybe next time.”

If An Nuonuo hadn’t seen the love letter Liu Qiang gave her when they were little, she might not have cared.

Having a meal with an old classmate was no big deal.

But now she avoided Liu Qiang like the plague, staying as far away as she possibly could.

Fearing it would upset her husband.

Liu Qiang was taken aback, “But I clearly heard you say you were going out to eat when you came in?”

An Nuonuo, “You must have heard wrong, I said I had already eaten and wanted to take a nap.”

After saying that, An Nuonuo’s cheeks turned a slight shade of red.

This was the first time she had ever lied with her eyes wide open.

Although she felt a bit guilty and embarrassed, for the sake of her husband, she thought it wasn’t too bad.

“Well, alright then…” Liu Qiang was quite disappointed, “Since that’s the case, let’s talk about it some other time when you’re free.”

“Oh, by the way, could I get your contact details? We could have a meal together next time.”

Jiang Xu didn’t hesitate to display his QR code, “Add me instead, my wife’s phone just ran out of battery.”

No sooner had he finished speaking, An Nuonuo’s phone in her pocket began to ring.

The room suddenly fell silent, as if a flock of crows had flown overhead.

Without even blushing or skipping a beat, Jiang Xu said, “Honey, why do you have my phone with you?”

“Don’t get it wrong, she left her phone in the office, she’s using mine right now.”

An Nuonuo, “…”

Liu Qiang thought to himself, I don’t believe you for a second, you sneaky old man.

He had now witnessed what it meant to have thick skin, shamelessness at its finest.

He suspected that An Nuonuo had been won over by Jiang Xu’s shamelessness.

Liu Qiang suddenly felt a great sense of responsibility, determined to rescue An Nuonuo from the clutches of Jiang Xu.

In the end, with no other choice, he begrudgingly added Jiang Xu as a friend.

Then, he left with regretful backward glances.

As soon as Liu Qiang left, An Nuonuo immediately knelt in front of Jiang Xu.

With both hands tugging at her ears, she said pitifully, “Husband, don’t be mad, I was wrong.”

She looked ridiculously adorable in that moment.

Jiang Xu wasn’t angry at all, this matter had nothing to do with her, but he still wanted to tease her.

So he sternly asked, “Then tell me, what did you do wrong?”

An Nuonuo pouted, “I did everything wrong.”

Jiang Xu, “Do you want some delicious food?”

An Nuonuo’s expression changed slightly.

What was once a very serious phrase in her mind had long since been twisted by Jiang Xu.

“Click.”

Just then.

The door was pushed open again.

Liu Qiang ran back in, panting, “Sorry, I think I left my wallet here… Huh? What are you guys doing?!”

The scene before him made his eyes widen, followed by all sorts of censor-worthy images flashing through his mind.

It was shockingly exciting.

It made his blood pressure soar instantly.

He really wanted to shout, “You beast, let go of that lady, let me!””

An Nuonuo swiftly got up, feeling too embarrassed to face anyone, and threw herself into Jiang Xu’s arms.

Jiang Xu looked at Liu Qiang with displeasure, “Mr. Liu, isn’t it impolite to enter without knocking?”

“You’ve been abroad studying for so many years, is this the best you can do?”
