Chapter 956: 47 A Gift for the Future of Two Daughters
Chapter 956: Chapter 47 A Gift for the Future of Two Daughters
A ten-meter-long black sedan slowly made its way toward the airport.
In the back seat, Jiang Xu and Jiang Xiaoyan were bickering.
After breakfast, Jiang Xiaoyan was heading straight back to the country.
So Jiang Xu was taking her to the airport.
As they bickered, Jiang Xiaoyan suddenly leaned in.
She wrapped her arms around Jiang Xu’s neck and planted a hot kiss on him.
Jiang Xu reciprocated eagerly.
Jiang Xiaoyan thought to herself that as long as An Nuonuo wasn’t around and there were no strangers, she could kiss him whenever she wanted.
“Ah, what are you doing?” Jiang Xu cried out in pain and gently pushed Jiang Xiaoyan away.
She had just bitten his tongue.
“Leaving a mark,” Jiang Xiaoyan said with a giggly laugh. “Be glad I didn’t bite your lips.”
Jiang Xu rolled his eyes.
If she had bitten his lips, he wouldn’t need to go back later.
“You’re really a scaredy-cat,” Jiang Xiaoyan couldn’t help but tease. “You’re so bad yet so playful.”
“What do you know?” Jiang Xu retorted. “I consider the bigger picture. Do you want the backyard to catch fire and then no one can have fun?”
Jiang Xiaoyan thought he made a lot of sense, but she wouldn’t admit it.
Soon, they arrived at the airport.
They got out of the car, appearing calm as usual.
“Off I go,” Jiang Xiaoyan waved her hands. “Remember to text me daily to check in.”
Jiang Xu: “Don’t worry, I won’t.”
Jiang Xiaoyan scoffed with a cold laugh and strutted toward the plane.
Jiang Xu watched the plane take off and was just about to leave when Zhou Qingyue called.
“Mr. Jiang, is it convenient for you to talk now?” Zhou Qingyue’s formal voice came through the phone.
This was their code.
If Jiang Xu had someone around, he would say it was inconvenient, so Zhou Qingyue wouldn’t say anything too sensitive or over the top.
“Hehe, that’s great,” Zhou Qingyue instantly dropped the act. “I miss you so much, dear, I really want you to…”
Jiang Xu, completely exasperated: “Enough enough, stop filling our chat with that stuff; I’m a decent person, you know.”
“Give me a break,” Zhou Qingyue retorted irritably. “I’ve become like this and you’re largely to blame.”
Jiang Xu: “Well said, but don’t say it again next time.”
Zhou Qingyue: “Okay, enough of that. I called to tell you we now know the baby’s gender.”
“Oh?” Jiang Xu’s eyes lit up. “Is it a boy or a girl?”
Zhou Qingyue asked, “Which do you hope for?”
Without hesitation, Jiang Xu said, “A girl.”
Girls tend to have less ambition.
If he had a choice, Jiang Xu would definitely prefer a girl.
Otherwise, there’s no telling what might happen in the future—brother killing brother over assets.
Jiang Xu never planned to let his children know their true heritage.
But, you never know; what if something unexpected happens?
“Ugh, such a biased guy,” Zhou Qingyue naturally knew why Jiang Xu preferred girls; she pouted and huffed, “Lucky for you, it’s a girl. You get to pick the name.”
“That’s great if it’s a girl,” Jiang Xu said cheerfully. “Hold on, let me think… Um… Zhou Shihua sounds good.”
His children would definitely take their mother’s surname.
If all of those kids carried the Jiang surname, even a fool would know what was going on.
“That’s a lovely name, hehe, my daughter will definitely be accomplished in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting and charm thousands,” Zhou Qingyue said happily.
Jiang Xu: “When she’s born, I’ll send her a generous gift.”
Zhou Qingyue: “What is it?”
Jiang Xu maintained a bit of mystery, “I’ll tell you later.”
“Okay then,” Zhou Qingyue sighed, “let’s not talk about it now. If you miss me, come and see me and the child.”
Her tone carried a touch of sorrow, making her sound pitiful.
As if she had been abandoned.
Jiang Xu was not to be fooled, however.
This woman’s acting skills had long since reached perfection.
She was most likely pretending to be pitiable.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xu didn’t go to the office or home but went to a construction site instead.
Standing from a high vantage point, he could see at least thousands of workers, various large machines, and some robots working.
This place was in the process of building two mansions.
It was Jiang Xu’s plan to build them and give them as birthday gifts to Jiang Shiyao and Jiang Zhiruo when they turned eighteen.
These two mansions had cost Jiang Xu a great deal of effort and expense.
The bricks, steel bars, and cement used were the top-grade materials in the world today.
The cost per square meter was about one hundred thousand yuan.
From the beginning, the design took into consideration that it needed to last at least a few hundred years and withstand bombardments from various heavy weapons.
Substructures were built with basements and escape tunnels.
And a complete energy system as well.
Even if the outside world were destroyed, the inside could remain self-sufficient and safely survive until old age.
There were even train tracks and a small parking lot constructed inside the mansion.
Exaggerating a bit, it could practically be considered a small town.
Building one mansion would cost at least ten billion yuan.
Of course, this was from Jiang Xu’s private funds.
The current progress was already more than halfway complete.
Jiang Xu stayed at the construction site for a couple of hours before returning home.
Upon arriving home, he saw An Nuonuo busy in the kitchen.
Generally, as long as she was free, she would cook herself.
She was alone in the kitchen.
Today, she wore a light blue cotton dress.
The skirt was knee-length, and the soft fabric seemed to be imbued with her gentle aura.
A plain belt tied around her waist highlighted her voluptuous yet graceful figure.
Her dark hair was simply tied into twin ponytails, with a few strands hanging by her cheeks, adding to her gentle demeanor.
Every movement she made was full of charm, like a virtuous wife stepping out of a painting.
The gentle demeanor and the perfectly suited attire displayed a captivating homely beauty.
Especially those twin tails, which made Jiang Xu want to “pull one hair and move the whole body.”
Jiang Xu silently approached her and hugged her from the behind.
Wafts of a creamy fragrance entered his nose, instantly calming his mind.
An Nuonuo was like Jiang Xu’s stabilizer, safe and without side effects.
“You’re back,” An Nuonuo said tenderly while washing vegetables, “We’re having eggplant and tofu stew today.”
“I’m good with anything,” Jiang Xu increased the strength in his hands.
“Let go of me first,” An Nuonuo’s face flushed slightly, “I’m cooking, it wouldn’t be good if someone walked in and saw us.”
Jiang Xu: “Don’t worry, no one will come in.”
Jiang Xu was very particular about privacy at home, and the staff were not allowed to just walk in.
Left with no choice, An Nuonuo just let Jiang Xu continue.
However, the speed of her cooking increased significantly.
Suddenly, Jiang Xu said embarrassingly, “Sorry, honey. I got carried away.”
What do you think?
