Chapter 36
A thought crossed Jiang Xu’s mind, he asked, “Did your uncle come back yet?”
“No,” An Nuonuo shook her head, “He called last night and said he’d come back today, but he didn’t specify when.”
Jiang Xu asked again, “Did those clothes get sold?”
“I don’t know. Dad said we’ll talk everything over when he comes back.”
Jiang Xu decided not to ask anymore.
On their way back, he advised, “There are lots of bad people outside. You can’t wear something too revealing.
For instance, if you’re wearing that miniskirt, you have to wear stockings, understand?”
“I know.”
Jiang Xu sensed that An Nuonuo’s tone was slightly different from usual.
But he couldn’t exactly pinpoint what it was.
Seeing Jiang Xu’s comforting back, An Nuonuo gave him a tender look.
How nice it is to sit at the same desk with you.
While they passed by a fruit store, Jiang Xu bought some apples.
By the time they arrived at Nuonuo’s house, it was almost half past eleven.
The moment they entered, they were greeted by the aroma of cooked food.
“Is that you, dad? You’re back?”
An Feng cheerfully said, “Why yes, it is. Xiao Xu, come, sit down. Dinner’s just about ready.”
“So you’ve arrived, Xiao Xu.” Li Yuanjuan came out of the kitchen holding a pot of soup, “It’s just plain homemade food, don’t be too picky.”
Jiang Xu earnestly said, “Auntie, your cooking is no less than a professional chef’s. If this were outside, this meal wouldn’t come under 800 to 1000 yuan.”
“You sure know how to sweet-talk,” Li Yuanjuan laughed with a full-faced smile.
She was pleased with what she saw.
Five dishes and a soup.
Although not lavish, the presentation was excellent.
After they sat down, Li Yuanjuan put a piece of red braised pork in Jiang Xu’s bowl, “Try the flavor.”
“Mmm, it’s fatty but not greasy, melts right in your mouth. Auntie, after eating your cooking, I doubt I can ever enjoy anyone else’s.”
Although he exaggerated a bit, it was enough to make Li Yuanjuan happy.
She kept putting food in his bowl.
This kind of scene also strangely made An Nuonuo feel happy.
Speaking of Uncle, were you able to sort out the clothes?”
Li Yuanjuan and An Nuonuo both turned their eyes to An Feng.
An Feng laughingly said, “All of them were sold. After subtracting the costs, we made a profit of 25,000.”
After saying this, he couldn’t suppress his elation.
All three were shocked.
Li Yuanjuan put her chopsticks down, “You’re not joking?”
“Of course not!” An Feng said proudly, “Moreover, the boss told me if there’s any more stock in the future, they’ll buy it all.”
Jiang Xu asked seriously, “Uncle, what’s the boss’s background? Is there something fishy going on?”
How shameful to be associated with you!
An Feng didn’t notice Jiang Xu’s gaze.
Full of excitement, he said, “There’s a large number of clothes left in the factory. If we can sell them all, we could make at least hundreds of thousands.
By then, our family can escape poverty.”
Li Yuanjuan and An Nuonuo were extremely elated.
“We must drink a little tonight.”
Li Yuanjuan got up to fetch some wine.
The couple got drunk after a while.
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo helped them into their room, then cleaned up the leftovers.
The kitchen in Nuonuo’s house was somewhat small, it was a bit hard for two people to stand.
Every once in a while, their arms would bump into each other.
Whenever that happened, An Nuonuo, as if electrocuted, retracted her arm.
Her lovely face blushed so intensely it might bleed.
She whispered, “You can go out, I can handle this.”
“That’s inappropriate. I can’t just eat for free without working.” Jiang Xu was serious.
In reality, he simply didn’t want to pass up an excellent opportunity to grow closer to An Nuonuo.
In a confined environment, feelings germinate rapidly.
An Nuonuo lightly bit her lip.
She had a feeling that Jiang Xu was doing it on purpose, but she had no proof.
After several instances, An Nuonuo wanted to leave.
It wasn’t like she was feeling repulsed, but rather she was shy.
Detecting her intention, Jiang Xu softly said, “You wouldn’t abandon a guest to do all the work and go play by yourself, would you?”
An Nuonuo: “…..”
She felt like she was greatly under the control of the man before her.
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Xu roared with laughter.
He stopped messing with her.
He washed his hands and left the kitchen.
“Phew!”
An Nuonuo heaved a sigh of relief.
Five minutes later she finished washing the dishes, washed some fruit, and brought it out.
Her rosy cheeks had cooled down, but she was still enchanting.
Jiang Xu checked the time, “It’s getting late, I should head back. See you tomorrow.”
“Alright, I’ll see you off.”
She saw him to the door.
Waiting for Jiang Xu’s figure to disappear from her line of sight,
She turned around, locked the door, and then sneaked out…
