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

Jiang Xu, ensuring safety without flouting traffic laws, reached home as quickly as he could.

As soon as he opened the door,

An Nuonuo wasn’t on the first floor, so he made a beeline for the second. The moment he entered her bedroom,

he found her curled up in fear under the covers, shivering.

Her teary eyes filled with helplessness and fear.

Before he had time to catch his breath, Jiang Xu hurriedly asked, “What happened?”

The moment he got An Nuonuo’s call, he had rushed back home.

“Big brother…” the sound of An Nuonuo’s voice was enough to break anyone’s heart.

She raised her arms and pointed to the ceiling, “It’s watching me, I’m scared to move, whimper.”

Jiang Xu followed the direction of her pointing finger.

Well, there was a spider—about the size of his palm—creeping on the ceiling.

It looked terrifying.

“Is this thing making you so afraid?” Jiang Xu asked, looking at An Nuonuo.

An Nuonuo nodded.

Jiang Xu: “What makes you think, I’m not afraid?”

An Nuonuo:”???”

“Hahaha.” Jiang Xu started laughing, “Just kidding you, I’m going to deal with it now.”

Saying this, he took off one shoe, aimed at the ceiling, and threw it fiercely.

A direct hit, killing the target instantly.

After all, he had been playing basketball for years, so aiming wasn’t an issue.

Then, Jiang Xu grabbed some tissue, tossed the spider into the toilet, and flushed it away.

After washing his hands, he approached An Nuonuo.

Just as he was about to reassure her that everything was over, another thought struck him-what a great opportunity to seize.

So he started, “Considering the size of that spider, there must be many baby spiders around.

Maybe under the bed, on the ceiling, in any corner of the room,

once you switch off the lights at night, every large and small spider will come out and even climb on you…”

He thought telling her this would make An Nuonuo scream.

And then, she would beg Jiang Xu to stay with her for the night.

However, reality didn’t play out the way he had theorized.

An Nuonuo calmly replied, “Big brother, that spider came in when 1 opened the window earlier…”

“Huh???” Jiang Xu was flabbergasted.

This wasn’t how the narrative was supposed to evolve.

Persistently, he said, “Even if…even if there aren’t any baby spiders, cockroaches, or rats can come out at night too.

I know you’re afraid, don’t force yourself to act otherwise.”

“Pfft.” The girl laughed at Jiang Xu, trying so hard to scare her.

Jiang Xu’s face fell.

If he had known it would end like this,

he shouldn’t have killed that big spider as soon as he arrived.

He should have hugged An Nuonuo, comforted her, and then killed it.

Looking at Jiang Xu, looking somewhat gloomy,

An Nuonuo said with a blush on her face, “Big brother, I know, you…just wait a bit longer, after my college entrance exams next year, I…I will…”

Unable to complete her sentence, she shied away, burying her face in the quilt. “Ah?!” Jiang Xu widened his eyes in surprise, his breath hastening, “Miss are you speaking the truth?”

A faint “yes” came from under the quilt.

If Jiang Xu didn’t have such keen hearing, he wouldn’t have heard it.

It was such a relief.

His entire body felt at ease.

His hurried return home wasn’t in vain; An Nuonuo’s promise was a huge blessing.

He glanced at the time; it was almost 10 o’ clock.

Jiang Xu was reluctant to leave her room that quickly.

An Nuonuo’s room smelled lovely, much better than his own.

So, Jiang Xu settled on the edge of the bed, pulling off her blanket.

Attempting to initiate conversation, he asked, “How many words are left to finish your book?”

An Nuonuo rearranged her slightly disheveled hair and replied, “About one week’s worth of writing.”

“Hmm.” Jiang Xu nodded, “Okay then, once it’s finished, I’ll help you deal with the copyright issues.

Once this book is done, there’s no need to write more, focus on your studies.”

Her book is now making about a thousand bucks a day.

It’s not short either.

The copyright valuation could make a good chunk of money.

When the adapted TV series comes out, it could trigger a resurgence in the book’s popularity.

One book is enough to cover her four years of college tuition.

Moreover, there would be dividends from the novel website.

Her talent isn’t in writing novels, so she shouldn’t waste too much time pursuing this.

“How much…how much can it sell for?” An Nuonuo asked.

After all, this was her first novel, and An Nuonuo hoped that it could fetch a good price.

“Given your fanbase and current popularity, at most you could get seven or eight hundred thousand, but only about three to four hundred thousand of that would end up in your hands.”

An Nuonuo is new, and her book is not exceptionally sensational.

It’s not realistic to expect to sell for a significantly high price.

However, to An Nuonuo, this price seemed pretty decent.

She checked the time, it was after 10.

She said, “It’s getting late…”

“Hmm.” Jiang Xu abruptly grabbed An Nuonuo’s hand, “The weather is pretty

dry m the winter, did you apply any hand cream?”

Her fingers were long, her skin white as snow.

You could see the blue veins on the back of her hands.

This was genuinely a jade hand.

Under the lamplight, it seemed to glow.

Holding it was like holding jelly.

“I did, can you let go now?”

An Nuonuo tugged hard but couldn’t pull her hand free.

She had been in this situation before.

Watching Jiang Xu purposefully digress while his actual motive was to hold her hand, An Nuonuo found it very amusing.

She thought it was irresistibly cute,

but at the same time, a bit embarrassing.

Like this, it was almost n o’ clock by the time Jiang Xu had exhausted all topics and finally decided to leave.

As he approached the door, he still wasn’t pacified, and asked, “Aren’t you afraid to be alone at night?”

“No, goodnight.”

Saying this, An Nuonuo quickly closed the door.

Leaning against the door, her breathing increased slightly.

She was afraid that if she talked to Jiang Xu any longer, she wouldn’t be able to resist his company for the night.

Two days later, Zhou Qingyue messaged to inform that “Palace Life­preparations were almost complete and the filming was set to begin. The total investment was twenty million.

Zhou Qingyue invested half, and the rest was financed by Chen Xueyi and Liu

Yue.

Of the profits, Zhou Qingyue and Jiang Xu got forty and ten percent respectively.

However, the main controller was Zhou Qingyue.

Aside from costumes and props, the drama did not have many other expenses.

The scenes were mainly palace interiors.

Given there were no action scenes, and as long as the principal actors didn’t cause complications, the whole shoot would be wrapped up in two or three months.

While some directors in Hong Kong could make a film within a week, Jiang Xu spent these days conducting a final test for the web game at hand. It was winter break, and there were numerous users.

After a few rounds of testing assured there were no issues, the game was ready to go live.

Jiang Xu had high hopes for this game..
