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

Chapter 674: Shopping with a Woman is Too Terrifying

“It’s because I got my period today,” An Nuonuo said with a noticeable hint of disappointment in her voice.

Jiang Xu finally understood.

Getting her period meant she wasn’t pregnant again.

Although Jiang Xu often comforted her, telling her not to worry so much,

An Nuonuo would say it didn’t bother her, but deep down, it really did.

Comforting words lose their effect when repeated too often.

So Jiang Xu chose to distract An Nuonuo instead.

And to distract her for an extended period, there was only one method… because of An Nuonuo’s ‘relatives’ visiting.

So for the next week, Jiang Xu didn’t let her leave the house; she stayed home the entire time.

Every day, it was Jiang Xu who went out with two bodyguards to buy groceries.

Now, Jiang Xiaoyan could enjoy delicious and nutritious meals every day, and her cheeks even seemed a bit fuller.

Today, they planned to buy some gifts for the family.

Jiang Xiaoyan tagged along as well.

Maybe it was because of her recent good appetite or maybe it was Jiang Xu’s presence that left Jiang Xiaoyan feeling supercharged.

She managed many of the company’s matters very well, speeding up development.

Jiang Xu had also asked her; she was able to go home for the New Year this year.

The foundation she had built here was now very solid.

Even if she left, she wouldn’t lose control.

Now they had arrived at a large wholesale market.

This place had many local specialty products that were high quality and inexpensive.

As soon as An Nuonuo and Jiang Xiaoyan got here, they were fully enlivened, completely leaving Jiang Xu behind.

They bought anything that looked even slightly appealing.

Jiang Xu pushed a cart, following behind them.

The cart was full in no time.

Jiang Xu went to pay for the items first, having a cartload of stuff put in the car.

What Jiang Xu hadn’t expected was that these two women could shop so much.

They shopped from morning till after three in the afternoon.

They grabbed a bite for lunch and then resumed shopping.

Even Jiang Xu, a sturdy young man, now felt stars spinning in his eyes, and his whole body was about to give out.

“Shouldn’t… we head back now?”

Jiang Xu just couldn’t take it anymore.

Accompanying one girl shopping costs money, accompanying two costs a life.

Jiang Xiaoyan frowned, “We’ve hardly started. It’s still early.

What? You’re worn out already? That’s pretty weak.”

Her words were dripping with disdain.

Jiang Xu ignored her and looked at An Nuonuo instead.

As long as An Nuonuo was willing to leave with him, that was all that mattered.

But An Nuonuo hesitated, “Maybe… Brother Xu, could you wait a bit longer?”

She hadn’t gone shopping in such a long time.

And this wholesale market was so big, with a dazzling array of goods that she found thrilling to explore.

She felt as if every cell in her body had been invigorated.

Jiang Xu: “…”

With no other choice, since his fiancée said so, he had to obediently accompany her.

And so, Jiang Xu endured another three to four hours of torment.

It wasn’t until after eight in the evening that they finally sat down in a Western restaurant.

He looked utterly drained, his face dark and lifeless.

Anyone who didn’t know better would think he had been sucked dry.

Jiang Xiaoyan found it amusing and took out her phone to snap a dozen photos.

“I’ll threaten you with these photos online and start rumors about you if you ever bully me again,” she warned.

Jiang Xu had no energy left to even refute her.

After waiting for a while, the food arrived and he devoured his meal voraciously.

An Nuonuo felt a little guilty, “Sorry, Brother Xu, I didn’t know you were so tired. I won’t ask you to accompany me again.”

Jiang Xu managed a smile, “It’s okay, it’s not like I’m really that tired, it’s just…”

He didn’t really know what was going on.

In short, shopping with girls was exhausting.

It was miraculous, indeed.

“Look, there’s Zhou,” An Nuonuo suddenly pointed to a table not far away.

Jiang Xu and Jiang Xiaoyan looked over.

Indeed, there was Zhou Qingyue, dining with a very handsome man, who also carried an outstanding demeanor.

The man possessed an oriental face, though it was unclear if he was a native.

“Yo,” Jiang Xiaoyan whistled, “Xiao Zhou has quite the romantic luck.”

An Nuonuo added, “That gentleman looks kind and benevolent; he doesn’t seem to be a bad person.”

“Mmm,” Jiang Xu nodded in agreement, “From his appearance, he does seem decent.

Plus, there’s a faint affection in his eyes; he clearly has intentions towards Zhou Qingyue.”

He himself had no particular feelings about it.

Whatever they wanted to do was their business and none of his concern.

“There are several people over there who keep looking this way,” Chen Shiyen said in a calm voice, glancing at Zhou Qingyue, “Are they your friends?”

Zhou Qingyue turned her head to look, and paused for a moment, “Yes, I’ll go say hello.”

Chen Shiyen nodded slightly and nodded across the space to Jiang Xu and the others in greeting.

Zhou Qingyue walked over.

Today, she was dressed in a black, form-fitting long dress.

Whether she’d had surgery, experienced secondary development, or had padded underneath was unknown.

But just judging from the outside, Zhou Qingyue’s figure looked much better than before.

She walked over in her high heels and greeted them, “What a coincidence to see you again.”

“We were just browsing around in a nearby wholesale market,” An Nuonuo glanced at Chen Shiyen, “And this gentleman is…?”

“Oh, he’s the lead actor in my next drama, also from Dragon country, named Chen Shiyen. He’s quite a nice person.”

“Not bad,” Jiang Xiaoyan teased her with a wink, “This handsome guy is quite a match for you. You two look good together.”

“Don’t play matchmaker,” Zhou Qingyue glared at him sharply, “Mr. Chen just broke up with a girlfriend of eight years.”

“Oh wow, defending him already,” Jiang Xiaoyan mocked, “I can tell by the way he looks at you, his intentions aren’t pure.”

Zhou Qingyue, annoyed, said, “I’m not talking to you guys anymore, I’m leaving.”

Zhou Qingyue turned and walked away.

Jiang Xiaoyan watched her retreating figure, clicking his tongue in wonder, “Don’t know if it’s padding, but she looks much more substantial than before.”

An Nuonuo’s face turned red.

These were clearly topics she was too embarrassed to talk about.

Naturally, Jiang Xu wouldn’t discuss this with her either.

Jiang Xiaoyan felt bored and depressed as he stabbed his steak with a fork and knife.

At the other table, as soon as Zhou Qingyue sat down, Chen Shiyen asked, “Are they Mr. Jiang and his fiancée Miss An?”

Within the country, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo were so well-known that virtually no one was unaware of them.

Chen Shiyen naturally recognized them.

“Yes, you recognized them?” Zhou Qingyue nodded in agreement, “Do you want to go over and greet them?”

She knew that Chen Shiyen came from a family background that was also very complex.

It was said to be a century-old family from Sucheng.

Only a major family could nurture descendants with his kind of demeanor.

Yet families like these tend to keep a low profile, unknown to the average person.

After a slight pause, Chen Shiyen smiled and said, “That might be good, after all, our families might do business with Mr. Jiang in the future.

By the way, I also want to ask Mr. Jiang about some things.”
