When An Nuonuo had arrived before, Jiang Xu had noticed the black bag she was holding.
At this moment, she opened the bag and handed the item inside to Jiang Xu with both hands, âHappy Birthday.â
It was a black, single-strap shoulder bag.
The design and the style were very much in line with Jiang Xuâs tastes.
On the side of the bag, his name was embroidered.
âDid you make this yourself?â Jiang Xu asked, not wanting to let go of the bag.
âYes,â An Nuonuo nodded shyly, âItâs not anything valuable, but I hope youâll like it.â
Had his parents not been there, Jiang Xu would have showered her with some cheesy sweet nothings.
To express how he felt at that moment.
He had grown tired of repeating his words of praise.
Chen Yue and Jiang Shan were also extremely happy.
Such a wonderful girl isnât easy to find, not just in modern times,
but also in their own generation.
The meal was pleasant and satisfying.
They blew out the candle and cut the cake after eating.
An Nuonuo curiously looked at Jiang Xu, âWhat wish did you make?â
Jiang Xu chuckled, âAre you sure you want to hear it?â
An Nuonuo almost said out loud what she was thinking.
But then she reconsidered.
She had been tricked by Jiang Xu too many times before.
He was likely going to say something that would make her blush again.
So, she decisively shook her head, âI donât want to know.â
Jiang Xu:â???â
The young girl had gotten smarter and was harder to tease.
This was a little distressing.
Seeing Jiang Xuâs expression, An Nuonuo immediately burst into laughter.
Chen Yue wiped her mouth, âNuonuo, we are going to leave you two here to watch some TV. Weâre heading back home now.
We have an appointment with some friends later to hang out.â
Jiang Shan questioned, âWhen did we make plans to meet friends?â
Chen Yue shot him a death glare.
Jiang Shan shivered and finally caught on.
He quickly nodded, âAh, yes, yes, we have plans with friends. We should get going now. You both take your time.â
An Nuonuo also stood up, escorting them out.
At the door, Chen Yue subtly winked at Jiang Xu.
As mother and son, Jiang Xu immediately understood what Chen Yue was trying to say.
Son, you are both adults now. Heh, do you get it? Mommy isnât a conservative person.
Jiang Xu: ââ¦â
He was speechless.
What did she think her son was like?
Was he that kind of person?
Jiang Xu gave her a look, assuring her there wouldnât be a problem.
Chen Yue, satisfied, dragged Jiang Shan away.
In her mind, she was already picturing the scene a year later, holding her grandchild.
She was not like other mothers.
Most mothers wish their children to succeed.
But all Chen Yue wanted was for her son to live a peaceful and worry-free life, with some money to spare.
And her wishes at present had all come true.
She was not greedy.
An Nuonuo was still oblivious to the severity of the situation, curiously commenting, âYour uncle and auntie seemed rather anxious.â
âHa ha.â Shaking his head, Jiang Xu replied, âTheyâre always like this, quite worrisome.â
An Nuonuo countered, âWould you dare to say that in front of them?â
Jiang Xu felt underestimated, âWhy wouldnât I?â
Seeing this, An Nuonuo took out her phone, pretending to dial Chen Yueâs number.
Jiang Xu said sulkily, âNuonuo, youâve become a naughty girl. You might lose me if you keep this up.â
The young girl giggled happily.
âDo you want to know what wish I made earlier?â Jiang Xu brought up the topic again.
Without waiting for An Nuonuoâs refusal, Jiang Xu said, âI wish for you to give birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girlâ¦â
The young girl immediately turned beet red and ran back into the house.
She was silently glad that she didnât mention wanting to know earlier when Jiang Xuâs parents were still there.
Otherwise, wouldnât it have resulted in an embarrassingly large mess?
Jiang Xu grinned and followed her.
An Nuonuo sat on the sofa.
Her legs were bent, held in her arms.
Although watching television, her mind was not in it.
Jiang Xu sat next to her.
He turned her head towards him.
They looked into each otherâs eyes.
An Nuonuoâs gaze was evasive, afraid to look at Jiang Xuâs eyes.
At this moment, Jiang Xuâs eyes were like two suns, radiating intense, dazzling rays.
An Nuonuo felt as if she were melting away.
Her heart was beating uncontrollably.
âNuonuo,â Jiang Xu asked fervently, âhow are we doing?â
An Nuonuoâs voice was faint, âItâs⦠just fine.â
Her cheeks burned hotly, wondering what Jiang Xu was up to.
Jiang Xu asked, âSince our relationship is so deep, could you do something for me?â
An Nuonuo felt that Jiang Xu might be up to something and was about to refuse.
Yet, seeing his earnest expression, she didnât reject him.
Instead, she subtly nodded.
Jiang Xu was delighted and continued, âLook, weâre both already eighteen, adults.
âAnd my first kiss is still here, would you help me with thatâ¦â
âNo, I canât,â the girl shook her head vigorously.
The heat in her cheeks was so intense it felt as if it would burst at any moment.
She hadnât expected Jiang Xu would suddenly make such a request.
Jiang Xu asked, âWhy not?â
An Nuonuo replied, âBecause⦠because we are not boyfriend and girlfriend yetâ¦â
Jiang Xu responded, âIsnât that inevitable?â
An Nuonuo stuttered, âNo⦠I canât⦠I have to go home.â
Saying so, she attempted to get up and leave.
Jiang Laid his hands on her shoulders, preventing her from leaving.
All the conditions were perfect.
The seal of restriction 404 hanging over Jiang Xu was removed.
At this point, he couldnât let her slip away easily.
Continuing his earnest tone, he persuaded, âNuonuo, together we braved wind and rain, faced countless obstacles to get where we are todayâ¦â
His persuasion was fruitless.
Unfortunately, An Nuonuo wasnât easily swayed.
Blinking her eyes, she replied weakly, âWhen did we âbrave the wind and rainâ? Iâm fully alert, you canât trick me.â
Jiang Xu was silent.
He felt an immediate headache.
An Nuonuo wasnât easily fooled.
He longed for the naive innocent girl he first met in the second year of high school where he could easily talk her into anything.
Jiang Xu wasnât about to give up, though.
By now, if he canât pull it off, where will he put his face?
How would his audience feel about him?
Thinking, Jiang Xu stated, âYour parents must love me.â
âHuh?â bewilderment filled An Nuonuoâs eyes, âWhy?â
Jiang Xu said, âOtherwise, why would they create you in the image of my ideal type?â
An Nuonuo fanned herself, feeling too hot.
How could Jiang Xu say something like that?
Her head buzzed, not knowing how to respond.
Jiang Xu continued to shower An Nuonuo with romantic lines.
Once he had her confused and disoriented, he once again made his earlier request.
However, An Nuonuo was adamant in her refusal.
Jiang Xu took a deep breath.
So it was going to be like this, huh?
If thatâs the caseâ¦
He felt a surge of courageâ¦
