Chapter 691: Chapter 691 Jiang Xu: Don’t Mess with Me
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo took Yikali to a villa in the mountains.
The environment here was very nice.
It had snowed a few days ago, and everything was blanketed in white.
The biggest feature here was the food; it tasted great and was cooked over firewood, which was quite special.
Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo, and Yikali were walking on a few centimeters of snow.
A group of bodyguards followed them, not too far but not too close either.
Jiang Xu furrowed his brows, looking at Yikali with puzzlement.
Yikali quickly diverted her gaze elsewhere.
He had noticed it several times now—Yikali would sneak peeks at him.
Once or twice was okay.
But as it happened more frequently, Jiang Xu sensed something was off.
After a bit of thought,
Well, shoot—could this girl be interested in him?
The mere thought of this possibility made Jiang Xu’s scalp tingle.
Come on, don’t mess with me.
How could I handle this?
This girl wasn’t just any ordinary girl; it wasn’t as simple as not caring or casually rejecting her.
If she got it into her head to be with Jiang Xu,
and used some other more “persuasive” methods to threaten him, then it would be quite troublesome for him to handle.
“It probably isn’t what I think,” Jiang Xu murmured to himself.
Then, during the time they spent together afterward, he secretly observed Yikali from the corner of his eye.
The more he observed, the more his heart sank.
The way Yikali looked at him, well, it wasn’t exactly affection.
But it was more than what one would expect from a girl who had just met a guy a few days ago.
Curiosity made up a large part of it.
What Jiang Xu didn’t know was that all this began from last night when Yikali and An Nuonuo were soaking in the hot springs. Nuonuo had casually mentioned their romantic experiences.
In Nuonuo’s descriptions, Jiang Xu was portrayed as smart, devoted, business-savvy, good at making girls happy, attentive, handsome, and responsible.
It was as if all the men in the world combined couldn’t match up to one-tenth of Jiang Xu.
Yikali, being at an age where feelings just begin to blossom,
naturally developed a strong interest in Jiang Xu after hearing Nuonuo’s words.
That was why she sneaked glances at Jiang Xu every now and then.
Nuonuo hadn’t yet noticed Yikali’s little crush.
At the moment, she was joyfully appreciating the beautiful surroundings, while constantly taking photos.
Jiang Xu was a bit preoccupied.
It wouldn’t work.
He had to come up with a way to dispel Yikali’s budding thoughts.
Boy, being an outstanding man can be tough these days.
You always have to guard against the yearning looks from various girls all around.
It’s better to be just an ordinary person.
Forget girls yearning for you; you can’t even get a girlfriend…
Soon, Jiang Xu thought of a good method.
They would have lunch right there in the villa.
The meal would be roast lamb.
The lamb, sizzling and dripping with oil, emitted a strong aroma.
Jiang Xu grabbed the lamb meat with his bare hands and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
After finishing, he licked all ten fingers clean.
Yikali showed a look of astonishment.
An Nuonuo was also puzzled about why Jiang Xu would suddenly behave so oddly.
Jiang Xu acted as if he hadn’t noticed the unusual looks in their eyes.
He continued to grab lamb legs with his hands and eat like a caveman.
Yikali hesitated for a moment, then her eyes lit up, “Is this a local eating style? I want to try it too.”
So, she followed suit.
She grabbed a big chunk of lamb with her hands and stuffed it directly into her mouth, eating uninhibitedly.
“Huh?” Yikali’s eyes sparkled, “This way of eating is really satisfying.”
Jiang Xu: “???”
No.
Jiang Xu almost lost his composure.
What is going on here?
Why aren’t you playing by the rules, girl?
Logically, seeing me eat in such a vulgar manner, you should feel disdain and label me as ‘crude,’ ‘uncultured,’ or ‘brainless,’ right?
Why do you look so excited now?
Little did Jiang Xu know, Yikali had been surrounded by all sorts of restrictions since she was young and harbored a rebellious streak deep inside her heart.
But usually, no one would think of it, nor dare to activate the rebellion within her.
Now that Jiang Xu, the ‘pathfinder,’ was there, he suddenly let Yikali experience the thrilling sensation of breaking out of her cage.
An Nuonuo was somewhat puzzled, “Does eating like this make it taste better?”
So she followed suit.
But she didn’t notice any significant change in the taste.
Jiang Xu: “…”
From a distance, Yikali’s bodyguards saw this scene and their jaws almost dropped.
My God?
What did we just see?
The little princess… has she gone mad?
Not wanting to neglect their duties, they quickly took a discreet photo of the scene and sent it to the little princess’s parents.
They were vaguely worried.
The little princess wouldn’t be led astray, would she?
Consequently, their gaze towards Jiang Xu also carried a hint of malice.
Yikali enjoyed the meal more than she had at any time before.
She ate until her stomach was round and full.
The way she looked at Jiang Xu also became warmer.
Feeling Yikali’s gaze, Jiang Xu’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Damn, this backfired.
But never mind, Jiang Xu came up with another plan.
After eating their fill, Yikali suggested taking a walk to aid digestion.
Jiang Xu held An Nuonuo’s hand the whole time, their fingers tightly interlaced.
In front of Yikali, he made no attempt to hide his feelings for An Nuonuo.
He did this with the aim to discourage Yikali.
Look, we are very close, you shouldn’t interfere.
However, Yikali did not see it that way.
To her, Jiang Xu’s behavior signified a truly good man, rarely seen, devoted in love.
Ah, her fondness for Jiang Xu grew a bit more.
“Strange…” Jiang Xu muttered to himself, “Why does it seem to have no effect at all?”
Until the afternoon.
Jiang Xu realized Yikali’s gaze towards him was becoming increasingly inappropriate, and he finally understood the gravity of the situation.
An Nuonuo noticed it too.
She couldn’t help but turn pale, her hands clenching tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Sensing his sweetheart’s anxiety, Jiang Xu gently patted the back of her hand.
Then, with a smile, he looked at Yikali and said, “Miss Yikali, I have some good news for you.
Next summer, we are getting married.
If you are available, you are welcome to attend our wedding.”
A jolt went through Yikali’s heart.
While her expression grew slightly serious, she also felt a sense of urgency.
So little time left, only about half a year.
Yes, that’s right.
After spending the day together and having someone discreetly gather various types of information on Jiang Xu,
she had made up her mind about half an hour ago.
She was going to be with Jiang Xu.
Although she liked An Nuonuo very much, what mattered more to her was whether she could live a comfortable and happy future.
And clearly, Jiang Xu could meet this condition.
On the surface, Yikali replied nonchalantly, “Oh, that’s nice, let me congratulate you in advance then.”
