Chapter 677: Chapter 677: I’m Usually Very Gentle too
“What are you staring at me for?”
She felt a little guilty as several people stared at her inexplicably, each of them remaining silent.
“Bullfrog.” Bai Xiaoya wiped the tears from her face.
She couldn’t care about being sad at the moment and gave her a thumbs-up, “I didn’t expect you to be so fierce when you curse, and to do it so dirtily too.”
An Nuonuo didn’t speak, but her eyes held admiration.
This was her weakness.
She simply didn’t know how to curse or use profanity.
The worst she could muster was calling someone a baddie, a bad person, or giving them the cold shoulder.
Nothing like Jiang Xiaoyan, who could spew an unending chain of insults without repeating a single one.
Jiang Xiaoyan immediately took umbrage, “What are you talking about? What is that supposed to mean?
I was standing up for justice. I’m very gentle on a normal day, okay?”
Jiang Xu was the first one who couldn’t resist laughing out loud.
She and gentleness had nothing to do with each other.
When Jiang Xu laughed, it instantly made Jiang Xiaoyan furious with embarrassment, “You dare to laugh at me, I’m going to fight you!”
Since An Nuonuo was there, Jiang Xu naturally wouldn’t have too much physical contact with her.
He got up and ran back to his room.
Only then did Jiang Xiaoyan give up.
She joined An Nuonuo in the living room, comforting Bai Xiaoya together.
Jiang Xu slept until noon the next day before he woke up.
When he woke up, the beauty was no longer by his side.
After washing up and going out, he saw several girls making dumplings.
Zhou Qingyue had also arrived.
This was a clear case of more yin than yang.
The whole house had just him as the only male.
“You’re awake, Brother Xu.” An Nuonuo said softly, “The first batch of dumplings is steaming, and they’ll be ready soon.
If you’re really hungry, you can have some milk first.”
“I’m not hungry, no hurry,” Jiang Xu walked over.
The four girls sat around together.
Jiang Xiaoyan was responsible for rolling the dough, while An Nuonuo, Bai Xiaoya, and Zhou Qingyue wrapped the dumplings.
No need to mention An Nuonuo, her dumplings were uniformly shaped and sized.
Zhou Qingyue was also decent.
In the past few years, she had seriously learned cooking skills in an effort to win back Jiang Xu.
But Bai Xiaoya was hopeless.
Her dumplings were, well…
Abstract.
Very abstract.
You couldn’t say they weren’t nice, just that they were ugly.
Jiang Xu laughed, “Sister Xiaoya, you might as well eat your own dumplings.”
Bai Xiaoya said discontentedly, “What do you mean? Are mine not good looking?”
Jiang Xiaoyan snickered, “Yours shouldn’t be called dumplings, more like ‘Dogs Won’t Even Glance.’
Even dogs would shake their heads and not eat them.”
“Then you try,” Bai Xiaoya was angry, “Let’s see how good-looking yours can be.”
“Fine, I’ll do it.”
Jiang Xiaoyan put down the rolling pin and picked up a piece of dough and made a dumpling herself.
Hmm, equally abstract.
“And you were saying?” Bai Xiaoya scoffed, “Just as ugly as mine.”
Jiang Xiaoyan glared at her, “Shut up, or I’ll hit you.”
Bai Xiaoya was unyielding, “I won’t.”
Jiang Xiaoyan gritted her teeth, “Disrespectful brat, I’m your teacher, you know.”
Without her mentioning it, everyone would have forgotten that Jiang Xiaoyan was still on the faculty of Magic University.
She had taken a long leave and hadn’t been there for a while.
“Oh, right, you’re still a teacher,” Zhou Qingyue joined the fray, “That’s right. You’re older than all of us.”
“Aaaaaah!” Jiang Xiaoyan went crazy, “I’m going to take you all on.”
Jiang Xu: “…”
An Nuonuo: “…”
There.
These individuals were all ancestors. They shouldn’t be put together, or else things would undoubtedly get chaotic.
By one o’clock, all the dumplings were finally prepared and steamed.
Jiang Xu was extremely hungry and began to eat voraciously.
An Nuonuo went to the kitchen to make soup.
She knew that Jiang Xu couldn’t eat a meal without soup.
Jiang Xiaoyan offered several “dumplings” to Jiang Xu, smiling as she said, “Try the ones I made.”
Jiang Xu waved his hand, “Thanks, but I’m full.”
Jiang Xiaoyan was furious, “So you’re saying my dumplings aren’t good enough for you?”
Jiang Xu, “Since you know, why bother saying it?”
Bai Xiaoya teased her with a snicker from the side.
But her laughter soon faded.
When Jiang Xu turned to her and said, “Big Brother, don’t laugh at Second Brother, your cooking is just as appetite-killing.”
Bai Xiaoya, “!!!”
She looked at Jiang Xu with a puffed cheek, outraged.
How could he say such a thing?
But looking at her own creations, she also couldn’t bring herself to eat them.
So she passed them to Jiang Xiaoyan.
Jiang Xiaoyan didn’t want them either, so she gave them to Zhou Qingyue.
Zhou Qingyue also didn’t want them.
In the end, it was only after An Nuonuo came out with the chicken soup that she ate those ugly “dumplings.”
With four women at home, it was quite lively.
After the dumplings, they agreed to go shopping together.
Jiang Xu didn’t go.
He was still traumatized from shopping with An Nuonuo and Jiang Xiaoyan yesterday.
He couldn’t even imagine what it would be like with two more women added to the mix.
Furthermore, he had to make sure to have someone keep an eye on Bai Hong and his wife Wang Li.
Lest they cause more trouble at the company again.
If they continued to create a disturbance, Jiang Xu certainly wouldn’t stand by and watch anymore.
After all, he was eager to expand.
If the Bai Family didn’t know their place, then he might as well take them over.
Moreover, if those two kept on pestering, Jiang Xu would be fully justified in his actions.
Other families would not have anything to say upon seeing this.
Nor would they harbor any grudges or wariness towards Jiang Xu.
To speak arrogantly,
with Jiang Xu’s current personal strength, plus his future father-in-law, Jiang Xiaoyan, and Fu Xinghan,
if he gave it his all, the Bai Family probably wouldn’t last a month.
In any case, Jiang Xu had already given them an opportunity; whether or not they would grasp it well was up to them.
After having fun for a few days, Bai Xiaoya went back to her routine.
Blueprint was still in a period of rapid development.
Her absence as the CEO for too long would have an impact.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo had fun for about twenty days before they had to return as well.
They relaxed during this time and just enjoyed eating, drinking, and playing around.
Their departure was set for ten o’clock tomorrow morning.
“You guys are leaving?” Jiang Xiaoyan’s eyes reddened, “I don’t want you to go.”
An Nuonuo knew very well that it was mainly Jiang Xu whom she couldn’t bear to part with.
But some things she would never say.
Jiang Xu said, “What’s there to worry about? The New Year is coming soon, and you can come home too.”
“Let’s have a big feast tonight, no going back until we’re drunk!”
Even though it was phrased as a question, the tone was unquestionable.
Jiang Xu smiled and agreed.
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo went to the nearby market and bought a lot of ingredients.
They also bought some local beer.
They cooked a table full of dishes.
That night, Jiang Xiaoyan got drunk.
An Nuonuo, who kept getting force-fed by Jiang Xiaoyan, was out of it as well.
Jiang Xu was a bit better, but his head was still heavy and foggy, barely able to stand steady.
It took a great deal of effort to get Jiang Xiaoyan back to her bed.
Barely having any strength left, he just took a blanket and slept on the couch with An Nuonuo.
About half an hour later, Jiang Xu’s consciousness cleared up quite a bit.
Looking at An Nuonuo sleeping beside him, Jiang Xu suddenly had a strong urge to transmit his essence to her…
