âOkay, no more playing.â
Jiang Xu dusted the snow off An Nuonuoâs head and body.
He then tidied her messy hair.
The girl had seen snow for the first time and was overly excited, playing like a madwoman.
It was almost noon now.
âHuff huff huff-â An Nuonuo, breathing heavily, cheerfully grabbed Jiang Xuâs arm, âSnow is so much fun.â
Jiang Xu stroked her hair, âSince you like it that much, this Saturday and Sunday, letâs go play in Harbin.
There are lots of tasty and fun places there, plus thereâs Ice and Snow World.â âMhm mhm mhm.â An Nuonuo nodded vigorously, âBrother Xu, youâre the best to me.â
Jiang Xu: âCall me husband.â
An Nuonuo, embarrassed, âNo-â
She definitely couldnât bring herself to say it out in public.
Jiang Xu didnât force her.
Take it slow.
After some more time, he reckoned she might be willing to call him husband on specific occasions.
As for calling him âdaddyâ⦠Jiang Xu guessed An Nuonuo would rather die than agree to that.
âGiggle giggle giggleâ¦â
The sound of high heels on the snow rang out.
Jiang Xiaoyan walked over.
With a serious expression, she said to An Nuonuo, âCan I borrow your boyfriend tonight?â
An Nuonuo: âHuh???â
Jiang Xu, speechless, âClarify, your words are too easily misunderstood.â
The very next second, Jiang Xiaoyan revealed a driver-like grin, âNo misunderstanding, itâs exactly what youâre thinking.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Xu: âGet lost.â
âAlright, no more jokes.â Jiang Xiaoyan said earnestly, âThereâs a matchmaking date tonight, help me get rid of him.â
Jiang Xu asked, âYour mom arranged it?â
He knew Jiang Xiaoyanâs mother had remarried quite some time ago.
âNo, it was arranged by my dad before he passed.â Jiang Xiaoyan said helplessly, âThe company was having trouble already at that time, and my dad didnât have enough funds.
So he borrowed ten billion through this marriage engagement.â
Jiang Xu frowned.
Having taken someoneâs money, thatâs a tricky situation.
And somebody who can casually fork out ten billion is definitely no ordinary person.
Jiang Xu first asked about the other partyâs background before making a decision.
Jiang Xiaoyan pursed her lips, âHis family is in the seafood business, managing over 10% of global transactions.â
Jiang Xu asked, âThe seafood youâre talking about, is it legitimate seafood?â
Selling seafood is one thing, âselling seafoodâ is something else entirely.
âPfft, youâre so lewd.â Jiang Xiaoyan said irritably, âTheir familyâs assets are worth at least three hundred billion to start with!â
Hearing this, Jiang Xu took out his phone and started fiddling with it.
Jiang Xiaoyan asked, âWhat are you doing?â
Jiang Xu, without looking up, âPicking a good day for you to get married off.â Damn.
His own fortune is just twenty or thirty billion, the other partyâs size is ten times his own, what can he even put up against them?
âGet lost, you bastard.â
Jiang Xiaoyan kicked out at him, but Jiang Xu easily dodged.
âDo you have no conscience at all?â
Jiang Xu rolled his eyes, âFine, Iâll accompany you tonight to check it out.â
âThatâs more like it.â Jiang Xiaoyan showed her smile.
After all, she was family, and he couldnât refuse to help.
Jiang Xu then said, âYou should start preparing eleven billion in cash, prepare an extra billion to compensate them as interest.â
âOkay, I got it, Iâll send someone to pick you up tonight.â
Jiang Xiaoyan walked away gleefully.
After that, Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo to the canteen for lunch.
They returned to their private dormitory to rest for a bit.
After finishing the elective class in the afternoon, they went for rehearsals.
The New Yearâs gala was taken very seriously by the school this year, and the
budget they provided was much greater than in previous years.
Mainly because today, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo, these two big shots, had joined
in.
They even managed to defeat other schoolsâ competitors ahead of time and secured the role of Magic Cityâs promotional ambassador.
This was also a significant event worthy of celebration for the school.
Naturally, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo would be making their appearance as the finale.
I heard that some mystery guests have also been invited.
As for who they are, even Jiang Xu doesnât know.
In the evening, Jiang Xu and Jiang Xiaoyan arrived at the place where they were supposed to meet.
It was a farmhouse in the suburban area south of Magic City.
The other party had reserved the entire place.
There was even a helicopter parked on the open ground.
Jiang Xu had just seen this model of a helicopter not long ago.
Itâs priced at a staggering one billion yuan.
It boasts luxurious configurations.
Just the annual maintenance costs start at twenty million yuan.
He had thought about buying one too.
But the price was too high, so he gave up.
A fierce-looking black dragon was painted on the exterior of this helicopter. From this, one could guess that the owner probably had the personality of a domineering sort.
Jiang Xiaoyan held onto Jiang Xuâs arm, looking pitifully at him, âWhat if he refuses to let me go, Iâm so scared.â
Pitiful, weak, helpless, yet ruthless and vicious at heart.
âStop pretending,â Jiang Xu tapped her on the head, âWith your scheming nature, no matter how formidable the other person is, you wouldnât be scared. Spill it, whatâs your real purpose for calling me here?â
âHehe, youâre so clever,â Jiang Xiaoyan said with a giggly smile, âIndeed, nothing gets past you.
Here, big brother, let me reward you with a kiss.â
Saying that, she tiptoed, puckered her lips, and leaned in closer.
Jiang Xu pushed her away, âLetâs just go in.â
âTsk, what a boring man,â Jiang Xiaoyan snorted softly and followed him in.
The entire farmhouse, apart from several bodyguards in black suits and wearing sunglasses, only had a few waiters.
Inside the hall, there sat a man with a noble demeanor and extraordinary presence.
Upon seeing him, Jiang Xu couldnât help but silently criticize in his mind.
Damn, heâs even handsomer than me.
His physique and looks could be compared to Takeshi Kaneshiro.
He belonged to the type who could make a bunch of girls fall for him wherever he went.
âHello, Mr. Jiang, your reputation precedes you,â said the man as he saw Jiang Xu, rising to greet him with a smile on his face.
Seeing his warm smile, Jiang Xu realized that his previous judgment might have been wrong.
This man had not a trace of domineering aura about him.
Could it be that the helicopter outside was just for show?
Jiang Xiaoyan smiled as she introduced, âThis is one of my good friends, Luo Feiyu.â
Luo Feiyu?
Luo Feiyu (Luofei fish)?
Quite a unique name, Jiang Xu thought to himself.
He was also curious about what Jiang Xiaoyan was up to, given all the secrecy.
And she even lied to An Nuonuo, telling her that inviting Jiang Xu was for a blind date.
The three of them took their seats.
Luo Feiyu clapped his hands, and dishes were served one after another.
No alcohol was ordered, just some drinks.
At the dining table, the three of them laughed and talked.
Jiang Xu did not take the initiative to ask about the purpose of the gathering.
But he did notice that Luo Feiyu was not simple.
He appeared to be in his twenties, yet his manner of speaking and his thoughts werenât comparable to those of ordinary people.
The meal lasted a little over an hour.
When it was almost over, Jiang Xiaoyan finally sat up straight.
She asked Luo Feiyu, âWhat do you think of him?â
