Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Chapter 780: Chapter 780: Jiang Xu: So It’s My Fault Now

“That… honey,” Jiang Xu said with a feigned casualness, “tell me about your childhood.”

“Like, did you have any close friends in elementary school that you still keep in touch with?”

“Elementary school?” An Nuonuo felt a bit puzzled, not understanding why he would suddenly think of this.

But after thinking it over, she said, “I was so shy back then, I hardly dared to speak to anyone.”

“I would always hide in a corner and quietly read books by myself.”

“Though, there was a boy named Liu Qiang. He was really nice.”

Jiang Xu immediately became alert inside.

So that ‘Qiang’ was named Liu Qiang.

An Nuonuo continued, “He was good at his studies, and often explained things to me when I didn’t understand.”

“Hmm… he was also a kind person, often giving me something to eat, and he was pretty handsome.”

“I remember once, two girls in class were bullying me, and he was the one who helped me out.”

“But after he graduated from junior high, he went abroad to study.”

“At that time, I didn’t have a cell phone or QQ, so we didn’t exchange any contact information.”

“I also had no way to thank him for his help during our childhood.”

Jiang Xu sourly said, “So there was a boy who noticed you and was good to you before I came along.”

“Looking at it this way, you two were childhood sweethearts, and I’m just an outsider. It seems I’m not in the picture at all.”

Seeing Jiang Xu puffing with jealousy, An Nuonuo smiled until her eyes formed crescent moons, “Husband, are you jealous?”

Jiang Xu: “I am not, I haven’t, stop talking nonsense.”

An Nuonuo laughed even more cheerfully.

She loved seeing Jiang Xu jealous but unwilling to admit it.

Holding his arm, she said, “Don’t be jealous, he and I weren’t anything.”

“Back then, I only thought of him as a brother.”

“Besides, he was so outstanding at that time, he probably wouldn’t like someone who was like an ugly duckling like me.”

“That might not necessarily be true.” Jiang Xu said morosely, “Take a look at this…”

He took out the letter and handed it to An Nuonuo.

“What’s this?”

“You’ll know once you read it.”

An Nuonuo took it with a puzzled look.

After reading it, her face changed drastically, “Husband, please don’t misunderstand, there’s nothing between him and me.”

“I believe you,” Jiang Xu patted her head, “but who knows if that Liu Qiang wouldn’t harbor feelings for you.”

An Nuonuo shook her head, “It’s been so long, he definitely won’t, he’s probably forgotten about me by now.”

“That might not necessarily be so,” Jiang Xu’s hand slowly moved down as he spoke, “What about those romance novels you read?”

“When the male lead gets married to the female lead, some crafty writers, in order to prolong the plot and write more content to make money…”

“Usually at this time, they will introduce a childhood friend as a rival to the main couple.”

“Then they start the melodrama of you chase me, I love her, and she loves him, and he loves me.”

“Like this, they can pad out a few million more words, making a tidy profit.”

“Uh…” An Nuonuo was at a loss for words, not sure how to respond.

Because—

The novels she had been reading lately were exactly like that.

An Nuonuo’s eyes darted around.

She immediately came up with an idea.

Then she threw her arms around Jiang Xu’s waist and murmured, “Husband, you smell so good.”

Jiang Xu kept a straight face, “Don’t change the subject.”

An Nuonuo: “Husband, you have such a great body, it’s simply perfect.”

Jiang Xu: “Don’t think that by saying this I will forgive you.”

An Nuonuo: “My husband is the most handsome, the best man in the whole world.”

Jiang Xu: “Keep talking if you’re good at it.”

An Nuonuo: “…”

“I swear,” An Nuonuo raised her right hand, her expression solemn, “in this life, I, An Nuonuo, will only ever love Jiang Xu.”

“If I break this vow, may I be struck by lightning and suffer a terrible end.”

“Silly girl, don’t make such oaths,” Jiang Xu lovingly pulled her into his embrace, “Go to sleep so you can get better soon.”

An Nuonuo: “Husband, do you want to?”

She currently had a cold, her voice a bit husky, which made her sound more fragile and had a flavor all its own.

Jiang Xu shook his head, “We’ll talk about it after you’re recovered.”

He was not the kind of person who would be ruled by desires.

————————

At this moment, Devil City Airport.

A man over six feet tall with a physique like a bodybuilder, dressed in a suit and looking strikingly handsome, in his early twenties, walked out of the airport.

His appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Many girls were staring at him with shining eyes.

So handsome, so stylish.

He was like the living embodiment of a domineering CEO from a novel.

“Finally—back at last,” Liu Qiang took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling with intensity, “Nuonuo, I’m here to find you.”

“Now that I’ve made a career for myself and taken over the family business, I can surely give you happiness!”

————————

If Jiang Xu were here, he would definitely spit blood.

Madness, his prediction actually came true.

Damn author is too inconsiderate.

The next day.

The first thing Jiang Xu did when he woke up was to take An Nuonuo’s temperature.

Well, no worries now.

This also made Jiang Xu breathe a sigh of relief.

He really couldn’t stand to see An Nuonuo looking so sickly.

It hurt his heart.

An Nuonuo’s complexion was obviously much better than yesterday’s.

She got up, “I’m going to make breakfast.”

Jiang Xu did it yesterday, and she felt very guilty about it.

How could she let her husband enter the kitchen?

What was she as a wife good for then?

Jiang Xu didn’t stop her.

Jiang Xiaoyan sent a message.

The financial battle would start in half an hour, so he could pay attention to it.

Jiang Xu’s eyes flickered, and he immediately turned on his computer.

In room 613 of the girls’ dormitory building B.

Zhou Mengmeng had taken the day off and had not gone to military training.

She was alone in the dormitory.

Today was the moment she would reap the stock market of Monkey Country, naturally, she had to take charge herself.

She put on her headset and connected with hundreds of top traders from around the world.

“Action!”

As her words ended, the stock market of Monkey Country was immediately set into a frenzy!

Lately, the stock market there had been continuously rising.

Drawing in many domestic and foreign investors.

However—

Just when these retail investors were cozy with the thought of easy money,

They were horrified to discover that the consistently rising stock market suddenly took a nosedive.

Before they could react, they had lost a significant amount of capital.

In this moment, Zhou Mengmeng was far from sweet and naive.

A deadly aura radiated from her, like that of a war god who had slain countless enemies on the battlefield.

Calm and collected, she issued command after command.

The traders were her scythes, continuously harvesting.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Hm?!”

Suddenly, Zhou Mengmeng frowned.

She noticed a change on the battlefield.

An outside force of capital was competing with her for the spoils!
