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

Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo both breathed a sigh of relief.

Yikali seemed to have backed off knowing the difficulty?

That would be for the best.

Having spent the whole day with her, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo were also exhausted.

After returning home, they quickly washed up and lay down.

And fell asleep instantly.

The next day, the first thing An Nuonuo did upon waking up was check her phone for any messages from Yikali.

After realizing there were none, she felt a bit more at ease.

She was starting to fear Yikali now.

After checking her phone, she noticed that Jiang Xu was also awake.

She rested her head on Jiang Xu’s chest and said in a muffled voice, “Brother Xu, I’m still a bit worried.”

Jiang Xu gently stroked An Nuonuo’s soft and smooth hair and softly spoke, “Worried about what?”

“Worried that Yikali hasn’t given up, she’s not an ordinary girl.”

“What if… what if she insists on having you and then pressures us by threatening not to do business with our country, then…”

“Silly girl,” Jiang Xu couldn’t help but pinch her cute nose, “You’re thinking too much.

It’s impossible. As long as her parents have a tiny bit of sense, they wouldn’t do such a thing.”

This cooperation wasn’t about a few million or even billions, but tens or even hundreds of billions.

It even involved deeper issues (sensitive topic, glossed over).

It definitely couldn’t be changed just because of Yikali.

However, Jiang Xu did think of another possibility.

But… never mind, it’s better not to talk about it, as it would only make An Nuonuo worry.

After breakfast, Jiang Xu received a message.

It was from the person he had commanded to choose the wedding day.

There were two optimal dates next year.

One was June 18th, and the other was September 9th.

The two called their parents over, and everyone discussed it together.

In the end, they unanimously chose June 18th.

Right, 618.

With the wedding date set, An Nuonuo felt completely settled.

She had never doubted Jiang Xu’s feelings for her, just fearful that Yikali’s family’s power was too overwhelming, potentially leading to changes.

Then, Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo back to their room.

With a ‘bang,’ he closed the door.

An Nuonuo said with a bit of shyness, “It’s daytime now, maybe we should wait for the night?”

“What are you thinking?” Jiang Xu looked at her seriously, “I’m going to take a couple of selfies with you and then post them on social media.

To tell the whole world our wedding date.”

“Ah… is that so?”

An Nuonuo, realizing her misunderstanding, wished she could just find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Wuuu, so embarrassing.

Jiang Xu burst into hearty laughter.

Announcing the wedding date more than half a year in advance was mainly Jiang Xu putting another layer of insurance in place.

Once announced, the whole world would know they were getting married, and even the date was set.

Even if Yikali really tried to interfere, the pressure and difficulties she would face would be immense.

Of course, what Jiang Xu hoped for the most was that he was worrying unnecessarily, and that would be the best outcome.

Very soon, Jiang Xu posted the latest update on Daily Headlines.

[Our wedding date is set for June 18th of next year. Please bless us][Image][Image][Image].

An Nuonuo also forwarded it the moment she saw it.

Both of their fans saw this status update and went wild with excitement.

[Wuuu, we’ve finally reached this day]

[Wow, what great news to see as soon as I get online, I’m going to have a foot bath tonight]

“`

[Hahaha, I’m so happy, my favorite top-tier CP is finally going to walk down the aisle—I’m ordering twelve male models to serve me tonight]

[Miss Richie Rich upstairs, choose me, choose me, I’m 1.9 meters tall with eight-pack abs and can eat thirty snails with my tongue in one minute]

[Hey, I’m not a missy anymore, I’m already fifty years old]

[What are you talking about, my treasure? You’re clearly only eighteen]

[The one above, it’s obvious, you really want to eat this bowl of rice]

…

It hadn’t been five minutes since Jiang Xu posted this status update, and already over a hundred thousand people had shared it, with clicks surpassing a million.

It shot to the top of the hot search lists on all the major platforms in no time.

…

‘Blueprint,’ Bai Xiaoya’s office.

She had been rather free these past few days—the company was on the right track, and things were running smoothly without much need for her intervention.

So now she spent most of her time reading books or surfing the net.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated.

It was a notification from Daily Headlines.

She had set Jiang Xu to special alerts, so she’d receive notifications the moment he posted anything.

In a neglected corner, someone was always silently watching you.

But when Bai Xiaoya clicked on it, she turned deathly pale.

“It’s finally here… the day I’ve been dreading,” Bai Xiaoya clutched her chest, managing to squeeze out a wry smile.

She thought she had been well-prepared for this moment.

Even if the day came when they’d announce their marriage to the public, it wasn’t supposed to stir up much inside her.

But she had overestimated herself.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoya truly understood what it was like to have a heart carved with knives.

She had to drink several glasses of water before she felt a bit more stable.

With shaking hands, Bai Xiaoya typed ‘Congratulations to you two, wishing you eternal happiness and joy,’ and then she shared the post.

…

Jiang Xiaoyan also saw Jiang Xu’s update as soon as it was posted.

She silently made an overseas call: “I’d like to ask, how much would it cost to buy a thousand tonnes of explosives and have them delivered to my country?”

The other end: “????”

Aren’t you just a sis, if you’re intent on killing me just say so.

Your country, who dares?

Jiang Xiaoyan ended the call with a ‘snap,’ feeling somewhat irritable.

She called in her secretary and said dully, “Is there a quick way to relax?”

Secretary: “Go order some male models, maybe ten or so, and then have them… hehehe…”

Jiang Xiaoyan, expressionless: “You’re really sleazy, don’t go around saying you’re my secretary.”

…

Chu Youwei was live streaming.

The regular chat in her streaming room was suddenly flooded with viewers all repeating the same message.

Only then did she realize what had happened.

She felt a tinge of sourness in her heart, but still managed to put on a cheerful facade and offered her congratulations in the live stream.

…

“To suddenly announce a wedding date at this time…” Yikali stared at the information on her phone, her eyes flickering, “Could this be a move specifically to counter me?”

She had already sensed a change in Jiang Xu’s attitude toward her yesterday.

But it didn’t bother her.

She believed that with her overall conditions, she stood a great chance of winning Jiang Xu over.

But now, she was a little angry.

Angry at Jiang Xu’s actions.

“It’s tough now that he’s suddenly announced a wedding date, but…” Yikali lowered her head, pondering.

After a moment, she lifted her face, a sly look in her eyes.
