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

After all, in his opinion, Zhou Qingyue had a rebellious nature (mainly against An Nuonuo).

Such a woman could be seen as a tool, but if you invest too much, you might end up with nothing.

However, since An Nuonuo had already done so, he let her be.

Zhou Qingyue seemed cautious and quiet at the dinner party.

If no one asked her anything, she wouldn’t speak, just sitting silently, appearing somewhat distracted.

Except for Zhou Qingyue, everyone else enjoyed the meal immensely.

After the dinner, Bai Xiaoya and a few others even added the contact information of some big shots.

Of course, they could only do so because of Jiang Xu’s influence.

Even so, the girls were so happy that they were jumping around with joy.

Just being able to add these big shots was enough for them to boast for days.

After the dinner, everyone dispersed.

Back at their place, Zhou Qingyue gathered her courage and said to An Nuonuo, “Nuonuo, can I talk to you alone for a moment?”

All eyes fell on the two of them.

An Nuonuo nodded, “Of course.”

The others were curious, but it wasn’t right for them to stay and eavesdrop.

Jiang Xu gave Zhou Qingyue a look and left as well.

“I’m sorry,” Zhou Qingyue said to An Nuonuo with a deep bow, “for coveting Jiang Xu these past years and doing so many foolish things.”

An Nuonuo didn’t expect her to bring this up again and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

She chose to be silent.

Zhou Qingyue smiled sadly, “These past few years, I’ve always fantasized about stealing Jiang Xu from you one day.

But after trying many times, apart from getting myself hurt and disliked by those around me, there were no other results.

During the dinner just now, I finally cleared my head.

What’s not mine is useless, no matter how hard I try, so…”

Zhou Qingyue showed An Nuonuo a relieved smile, “I give up, I’m completely giving up this time.

From now on, I will no longer pester Jiang Xu or have any inappropriate thoughts about him.

In the coming years, I will focus on my career.

If I meet someone suitable, I will try to date, and maybe even get married.

I’m deeply sorry for the trouble I caused you and Jiang Xu in the past.”

Having said that, she bowed deeply to An Nuonuo again.

An Nuonuo felt a mix of emotions and quickly helped her up, “It’s good… it’s good that you’ve realized that.”

“I’ve realized it,” Zhou Qingyue smiled, “Then I won’t bother you anymore, goodbye.”

“Okay, goodbye.”

Zhou Qingyue turned and walked back to her room with a light step.

She discovered that when she let go of her obsession, she felt as if a huge burden had been lifted, and she became light as air.

Now she truly understood what it meant to take a step back for a broader view.

She took out her phone, gathered all the photos of Jiang Xu from her album, and placed them in a separate folder.

Although she had given up on pursuing Jiang Xu, these were still her youth, her memories.

Zhou Qingyue didn’t want to delete them, she wanted to keep them.

Then, she sent a Weixin message to Jiang Xiaoyan: I’ve given up on Jiang Xu, so it’s just you fighting alone.

Jiang Xiaoyan called her quickly, “What happened?”

Zhou Qingyue chuckled, “Just saw some things clearly, that’s all.”

Jiang Xiaoyan, “Oh, planning to become a nun? Do you need me to introduce you to some abbesses?”

Zhou Qingyue, “…”

…

“Did she really say that?” Jiang Xu was quite surprised.

“Yes.” An Nuonuo nodded, “It feels like she’s serious, this time she’s truly going to give up completely.”

Jiang Xu felt something was off about her tonight, so it seems she had come to a realization.

He laughed and said, “That would be for the best, without getting tangled up in romantic affairs, she can dedicate herself entirely to making money for me.”

Originally, Jiang Xu had no particular feelings for Zhou Qingyue, if it weren’t for her value…

An Nuonuo said softly, “I also hope she finds her other half soon and settles down well.”

Jiang Xu shook his head.

There was no one in the world more kind-hearted or more foolish than An Nuonuo.

After repeatedly trying to steal your boyfriend, and now you even wish her happiness.

Really, sometimes Jiang Xu really felt like hanging her up and giving her a good beating.

When would she learn not to always think of others, but to consider her own needs?

If it weren’t for Jiang Xu being around, if there were any bad people beside An Nuonuo, she might have been devoured to the point not a single bone was left.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Jiang Xu picked up An Nuonuo in a fireman’s lift and set her on the balcony.

This side’s balcony was equipped with curtains.

Once drawn, nothing outside could be seen.

The girl turned her head, looking at him with confusion and incomprehension, “Brother Xu, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Xu: “Attention, prepare to be punished!”

The next day, when Jiang Xu woke up, An Nuonuo was already out of bed and in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

Most of the time, she liked to cook herself, so that Jiang Xu could eat healthier and more nutritious meals.

After Jiang Xu got up and washed, seeing that An Nuonuo’s breakfast wasn’t ready yet, he went out to the balcony.

The air was fresh, and the view was broad; one could directly see the sea not too far away.

“Huh?” Jiang Xu suddenly noticed a puddle of water on the balcony floor and blinked, “Did it rain last night?

Yes, it must have.”

“Breakfast is ready.”

An Nuonuo walked onto the balcony, her good figure barely concealed by the apron.

Anyone who saw her would have to call out, ‘What a tender and beautiful kitchen maiden.’

“Eh, why is there a puddle of water here? I’m sure there wasn’t any yesterday when I came… Ah…”

An Nuonuo suddenly remembered something, and her fair and smooth face instantly turned bright red.

Upon seeing Jiang Xu’s somewhat mocking expression, An Nuonuo could no longer bear it and turned to run away.

Then, not long after, she came back with a mop to clean up the puddle on the balcony.

Seeing that Jiang Xu’s expression was still somewhat amiss, An Nuonuo tried to put on a serious face, and said with a threateningly cute voice, “You… if you keep laughing, I’ll stop talking to you.”

“Hahaha!” Upon her words, Jiang Xu immediately burst into laughter, “How can you blame me, when someone last night…”

“Stop talking!” An Nuonuo charged at him, raining down a flurry of light punches on Jiang Xu.

However, she didn’t hit hard; the punches landed on Jiang Xu like gentle tickles, without making him feel anything.

Jiang Xu intentionally scared her, “Do you want a repeat of the scene? It’s broad daylight now.”

An Nuonuo didn’t dare to move anymore, then she ran back to the room and locked the door from the inside.

Jiang Xu realized this was bad.

Before he could go to see what was going on, his phone rang.

Looking at it, the call was from Chen Yue.

As soon as he answered, Chen Yue’s loud voice came through, “You little brat, are you asking for a beating, daring to bully Nuonuo!”
