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

Chapter 957: Chapter 48 A Whole Family Together

Because of Jiang Xu’s arrival, the time it took An Nuonuo to cook was extended by more than an hour.

Jiang Xu sat on the sofa, sipping water steeped with goji berries, and muttered to himself that his willpower seemed to be getting weaker.

He knew he shouldn’t be like this.

But whenever he got close to An Nuonuo, he couldn’t help himself.

He now understood King Zhou all too well.

He finished the goji berry water in a few gulps, even eating the berries inside.

...

These goji berries were also the top-grade kind worldwide.

Teenage boys would get nosebleeds and be unable to sleep at all after consuming just one.

“Ah,” Jiang Xu looked up at the chandelier made of top-quality crystals and murmured, “Oh Lord, what I need now is an ‘Immortal Law’ that will make me stronger through dual cultivation. Please, bestow it upon me.”

Of course, such a thing would never exist.

Jiang Xu might as well wish for the biotech company he invested in to produce a drug that would break through the limits of the human body.

Then, like in a sci-fi novel, he would break the genetic lock and achieve a physical transcendence.

“Time to eat.”

Just as Jiang Xu’s mind was wandering, An Nuonuo’s call brought him back to reality.

It was just the two of them for lunch, so she made an eggplant and tofu hotpot.

Paired with white rice, it could be very delicious.

Their family’s meals were not fixed.

When the mood struck, they could spend millions or tens of millions on a meal.

They could also eat simple meals.

It was all about following their hearts’ desires.

An Nuonuo’s face was rosy, her eyes even more sparkling and moist.

Only those nurtured by love and ‘that’ would exhibit such signs.

Jiang Xu’s heart stirred again at the sight.

Seeing the look on Jiang Xu’s face, An Nuonuo quickly sat a little further away from him.

“Brother Xu, I think it’s better for us to sleep in separate bedrooms for a week.”

“Alright,” Jiang Xu touched his nose, “You’re right.”

He also felt that he was indeed in need of some ‘restoration’ lately.

The two of them polished off the big pot of eggplant and tofu hotpot, took a walk outside, and then went back for a nap.

A nap was indeed necessary.

It could significantly rejuvenate one’s spirit and vitality.

Days passed by, one after another.

Like a gentle stream or a soft drizzle, silent yet nourishing.

The seven-day recovery period passed quickly.

Jiang Xu now felt like he could take on ten men.

Hmm, not in the usual sense of the word.

Just then, Zhou Mengmeng called.

Jiang Xu went to the study to answer the phone.

“Brother Jiang, are you busy? Is there anyone with you?”

“I’m in the study, just me. What’s up?”

“I’ve got great news, I’m pregnant!” Zhou Mengmeng’s voice was filled with excitement: “And it’s a boy.”

Modern technology didn’t require waiting one or two months into the pregnancy to determine the sex.

Blood tests could be used to find out the baby’s gender.

Even though Jiang Xu felt that girls were nicer.

But since it was already happening, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, Jiang Xu naturally wouldn’t mind.

“Let’s name our child,” said Zhou Mengmeng.

One could imagine, even through the phone, Zhou Mengmeng probably hopping with joy.

“Um…” Jiang Xu pondered for a moment and then said, “Then, let’s name him Zhou Baichuan.

I hope that when he grows up, he’ll have the capacity and breadth of mind to be inclusive as the sea.”

“Zhou Baichuan…” Zhou Mengmeng repeated the name a few times, very happy: “I like this name. So, Brother Jiang, when will you come to see me? I miss you~”

Zhou Mengmeng’s level of girliness was nearly impossible for anyone to resist once she started acting spoiled.

Jiang Xu pondered, “Let’s wait another half month, then when summer vacation starts, the whole family can return home together.”

Whether it was Zhou Qingyue, Bai Xiaoya, or Zhou Mengmeng, they all had company branches in Agricultural Country.

However, their market shares were still larger at home.

Additionally, they were feeling a bit guilty now, not daring to get too close to An Nuonuo for fear of being discovered one day by accident.

As a result, wanting to meet with Jiang Xu on regular days was quite difficult.

“Then it’s settled,” Zhou Mengmeng spoke in a coquettish voice, “You have to come see me first when you’re back before you go to the other sisters.”

Jiang Xu couldn’t help but laugh, “Sure, no problem.”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but think of Chu Youwei and Jiang Xiaoyan.

After summer vacation, he would… he would give Chu Youwei a child as well.

As for Jiang Xiaoyan, it was not yet the right time.

There were many affairs that needed her personal attention.

If she got pregnant during this period, it would be troublesome.

That was why Jiang Xu had placed Jiang Xiaoyan last, also taking these considerations into account.

After talking for a while longer, Jiang Xu hung up the phone.

Evening was fast approaching.

Tonight, Jiang Xu’s parents and in-laws were coming over, so everyone could gather and have hot pot together.

The four elders had also been injected with the Cell Enhancement No.1.

Now, whether in appearance or form, all of them looked much younger.

An Ping and Jiang Huiyan had arrived as well.

The two little ones were now five and six years old, both cute and quick-witted.

And notably pretty.

After calling them over, they went off to play with the three younger siblings.

The children had already been fed beforehand.

The whole family sat together, enjoying the steaming hot pot.

As the rain began to fall outside, it added an extra layer of atmosphere to the meal.

Thanks to Jiang Xu’s many years of transformation, Agricultural Country was no longer the water-scarce nation it once was.

With hundreds of wetland parks, both large and small.

Jiang Xu subtly served up more pork and lamb kidneys for his dad and father-in-law.

He also sneakily prepared three whole plates of donkey “stuff.”

The women ate their fill first, then went off to play with the children.

Leaving three grown men at the table.

Jiang Xu then revealed the donkey “stuff” he had prepared.

Seeing this, both An Feng and Jiang Shan’s eyes lit up.

Men of a certain age have a considerable demand for such things.

After all, it’s a matter of male ego.

The items were all processed, so there was no taste.

A quick dip in the boiling hot pot for two or three seconds, and it was ready to eat.

Dipped in seasoning, it tasted quite good.

The three men had almost filled their stomachs.

But in the face of this, they just couldn’t stop.

In less than five minutes, everything was gone.

Leaning back in his chair, after taking a ten-minute breather, Jiang Xu looked at the two men, “Dad, father-in-law, how about drinking some Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Wine?”

An Feng said, “Give me a big cup.”

Jiang Shan declared, “I’ll take two cups, filled to the brim.”

Jiang Xu was shocked, “You two are more formidable than one another. Have you considered what my mom and mother-in-law will do tonight?”

An Feng and Jiang Shan thought, you’re giving us too much credit.

Even if we were ten years younger, we might not be a match for your mom (mother-in-law).

The hot pot meal continued until after ten before concluding.

Jiang Xu’s parents and in-laws decided to stay the night.

After taking a shower, Jiang Xu was eager to return to his room.
