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

Chapter 238: Chapter 238 Jiang Xu: Sorry, I’m not sophisticated!

Translator: 549690339

The date was the fifteenth of March.

It was Sunday, after school let out at noon.

Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo to dine at a five-star hotel.

He hadn’t spent a penny of the one million he’d gotten from Zhang Xiaohui.

Jiang Xu ordered five dishes and a nourishing soup.

He was in desperate need of replenishment.

Between attending school, dealing with company matters, occasional writing, and building the second batch of online games, he was beat.

This was with An Nuonuo taking care of his homework and most of the housework.

The first dish was salt-baked lobster — imported and costing 688 per dish.

Damn.

This was practically a meal on its own…

No need to peel it; it was fried to a crispy finish.

The second dish was steamed abalone.

Also imported, the abalones were plump, succulent, and devoid of any fishy smell.

Dish after dish arrived.

The two of them had developed a habit of eating quickly in order to use their time elsewhere.

“Ding-a-ling…”

Just as they finished eating, Jiang Xu’s phone rang.

It was Zhou Qingyue calling.

He hadn’t had any contact with her since the last New Year’s celebration.

“Hello, what’s up?”

“Martial Universe has finished filming and will be released the day after tomorrow. Prepare for promotions.”

“Huh? That fast?” Jiang Xu was astonished.

From project launch to filming, it had only been a few months, right?

The novel’s plot was massive, with many characters and complicated storylines.

According to Jiang Xu’s knowledge of ancient books, it should only have been completed by April or May.

“You didn’t cut corners on the storyline, did you?” Jiang Xu asked suspiciously. “Of course not.” Zhou Qingyue retorted, “This drama is my stepping stone into the ranks of the third-tier artists, there’s no way I would cut corners.

The filming process was hurried because I worked overtime like mad.”

Jiang Xu thought to himself, this woman really went all out for fame.

“I’ll need to watch the film first.”

Originally, he was supposed to oversee this drama.

But he simply couldn’t find the time.

Zhou Qingyue: “I’ll be at your place in half an hour. What are you having for lunch? You could invite me along.”

She occasionally chatted with An Nuonuo, knowing they only had half a day off in a week.

Jiang Xu was not willing to have lunch with her.

He declined, “We’re not home, just leave the DVD in the mailbox.”

Zhou Qingyue: “I’ve come all this way, the least you can do is come out and greet me.”

Jiang Xu: “Sorry, I lack etiquette.”

With that, he hung up the phone.

On the other side, Zhou Qingyue, who had dressed up specially, listened to the busy tone on her phone, almost grinding her teeth in fury.

She came all this way not just to deliver the DVD.

Her main goal was to see Jiang Xu.

It was not to make him fall for her instantly.

But should he become accustomed to her presence, over time things might change.

There was no way Zhou Qingyue was going back like this,

She immediately called An Nuonuo.

If she couldn’t make it through Jiang Xu, she would have to try someone else.

The call went through quickly.

However, Jiang Xu’s voice rang out on the other end, “Hehe, guess what, it’s still me.”

“Huff, huff, huff…” Zhou Qingyue’s breaths became heavier,’! want to talk to Nuonuo,”

“We’re dining out. Just leave your stuff at my doorstep. Bye now.”

“Jiang Xu, ahhhhh, you jerk!!!!” Zhou Qingyue had a meltdown.

No man had ever made her this infuriated before.

The driver shivered a little.

Would the madam go crazy?

Only after a while did Zhou Qingyue manage to suppress her rage.

She silently vowed.

If Jiang Xu really ended up with her, she would bear him ten children just to drive him crazy!

With that thought in mind, Zhou Qingyue had the driver drop her off at Jiang Xu’s front door.

After getting out of the car, she chose not to leave.

She planned to wait by the riverside for Jiang Xu’s return.

You better not return home forever!

“Isn’t this inappropriate? She’s our friend, so shouldn’t we show some respect?” An Nuonuo looked at Jiang Xu and said.

“You silly girl,” Jiang Xu shook his head helplessly. “I’m just providing you with a sense of security.

Have you forgotten who was jealous last time?”

“I…I wasn’t!” An Nuonuo was at a loss for words, she awkwardly lowered her head.

Jiang Xu laughed heartily.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Xu rubbed his satisfied belly.

The meal was exceptionally good, with all top-quality ingredients.

The total came to over 20,000 yuan.

“Let’s go home.”

He planned to take a half-hour nap after returning home before getting back to work.

He had to finish writing his current book, “School Beauty”.

The number of contracted authors on the Nuomi Website had exceeded 5,000.

Among them, 4,000 authors were earning over 5,000 yuan per month.

The highest income, not counting Jiang Xu himself, was around 90,000 yuan. These were pretty good numbers for those times.

With all his published books combined, Jiang Xu was earning about 800,000 to 900,000 yuan per month just from subscription fees.

The number of online players for “Martial Universe” was also increasing steadily.

It had surpassed 20,000 players a couple of days ago.

Some of these players would also read books.

The cross-fertilization between the novel and the game was gradually taking shape.

“Zhou?” As soon as she reached home, An Nuonuo noticed Zhou Qingyue crouching at the front door.

“Boohoo, Nuonuo, you’re finally back.”

Upon seeing An Nuonuo, Zhou Qingyue immediately launched herself into her arms, sobbing inconsolably.

She portrayed herself as a pitiful and helpless creature.

“Nuonuo, I’m tired and hungry, the blowing wind is so cold, Jiang Xu is so harsh.”

She played the victim the moment she got the chance.

An Nuonuo was quite soft-hearted and empathetic.

Seeing Zhou Qingyue in this state, she couldn’t help feeling guilty: “Let’s get inside first, I’ll cook you some food.”

“Thank you, Nuonuo, you’re the kindest to me.”

Zhou Qingyue wiped her tears.

As an actor, she could squeeze out tears whenever she needed.

When it came to acting, Zhou Qingyue was leaps and bounds ahead of the actress from the future who needed eye drops to cry.

Zhou Qingyue, holding An Nuonuo’s arm, walked into the house.

She took the opportunity to turn her head and gave Jiang Xu a provocative look.

Jiang Xu:

Once inside the room, An Nuonuo was about to go cook for Zhou Qingyue.

Jiang Xu stopped her: ‘Til do it, you stay and chat with her.”

“Oh, okay.” An Nuonuo nodded.

She felt this arrangement was fine too.

At least Jiang Xu and Zhou Qingyue wouldn’t be left alone together.

Zhou Qingyue, on the other hand, was giddy with happiness.

She recalled the days when Jiang Xu used to bring her meals every day.

For such a good boy, she definitely had to win him back!

Jiang Xu moved into the kitchen.

His idea of cooking was actually just making instant noodles…

Giving Zhou Qingyue instant noodles was already quite generous of him.

At most, he would add a sausage.

The whole thing took just a few minutes.

He carried the instant noodles out and placed them in front of Zhou Qingyue.

Zhou Qingyue glared at Jiang Xu: “Is this how you treat your guests?”

Jiang Xu: “That will be ten yuan.”

“Nuonuo, he’s going too far.”

Zhou Qingyue knew she couldn’t confront Jiang Xu directly, she needed An Nuonuo’s assistance.

But An Nuonuo ended up saying something that made Zhou Qingyue stunned….
