Chapter 91: Chapter 91: The Sweetly Confident Zhou Qingyue

An Nuonuo’s psychological defenses were beginning to crumble.

Seeing this, Zhou Qingyue planned to persuade her further.

However, just at that moment, a booming voice came from behind.

“Zhou Qingyue!”

They swiveled around to see Jiang Xu striding over fiercely.

Jiang Xu had returned one minute earlier.

There wasn’t anything good to purchase nearby, just Foot Massage shops and suspicious hair salons with red lights flickering inside.

So, he came back.

And he happened to see Zhou Qingyue talking to An Nuonuo.

Originally, if Zhou Qingyue was just chatting about irrelevant things, Jiang Xu would not have shown up.

But, who would have guessed that woman, Zhou Qingyue, could be so malicious? He could not hold back anymore.

Upon seeing Jiang Xu, panic flashed across Zhou Qingyue’s face.

She opened her mouth to speak, but before the words could come out, a smack resounded.

“Smack!”

A firm slap landed on Zhou Qingyue’s face.

The crisp sound rang out in the air, and a deep handprint immediately appeared on her fair and smooth cheek.

Both girls were taken aback.

An Nuonuo was the first to react, grabbing Jiang Xu’s arm.

“You…you hit me?” Zhou Qingyue looked at Jiang Xu in disbelief.

“Get lost, bitch.” Jiang Xu said coldly, “I’ve told you hundreds of times, I got over you a long time ago.

Can’t you understand? Why do you insist on clinging? You’re so presumptuous.

Can you at least keep some dignity?”

After saying this, he led An Nuonuo downstairs.

Zhou Qingyue was left alone, standing there helplessly.

In her mind, she replayed the words Jiang Xu had just said, over and over again.

Suddenly, she laughed. This bitter laughter was filled with resentment, unwillingness, and intense anger.

At this moment, Zhou Qingyue’s mentality underwent a drastic change.

She held her head high, trying her best to keep her tears from falling.

She took one step after another, heading towards her own room.

Her soft yet powerful words echoed in the corridor.

“Jiang Xu, one day, I will make you kneel in front of me, begging for my forgiveness!”

Downstairs, Jiang Xu was explaining things to An Nuonuo.

The girl’s face had returned to normal, but she still said, “You were too impulsive. You shouldn’t have hit her.”

Jiang Xu didn’t care.

He was horribly tormented by that woman in his previous life.

Yet, in this life, she tried to wreck his peaceful life repeatedly.

Just hitting her was very lenient on his part.

However, faced with An Nuonuo’s worried look, Jiang Xu changed his tone.

“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you. I won’t resort to violence anymore. By the way, what are you doing downstairs?”

An Nuonuo replied in a small voice that she was going to the convenience store to buy some stuff.

“I’ll accompany you.”

“No, no, no.” An Nuonuo shook her head like a rattle drum. “You don’t have to, I can go by myself.”

Seeing her bashful expression, Jiang Xu understood.

She must be going to buy that thing.

He wasn’t a pervert, so there was no need to follow her.

“Okay, then you go ahead.”

“Will you let go of me?” The girl’s watery eyes were filled with an indescribable emotion.

“Oops, sorry.” Jiang Xu let go of her, pretending to suddenly realize he was holding her.

“You rascal, you did it on purpose.”

“What did you say?” Jiang Xu widened his eyes.

An Nuonuo ran off hastily.

She had already seen through some of Jiang Xu’s little tricks.

Jiang Xu grinned, “Ah, this is youth, my fair moonlight!”

After getting up the next morning, Jiang Xu suggested they check out of the hotel.

The hotel was quite good in all aspects.

But Zhou Qingyue’s appearance had spoiled his mood.

To prevent any further unpleasant incidents, it was better to change locations.

Li Yuanjuan, unaware of what had happened the night before, didn’t say anything when her daughter agreed.

After checking out, the three of them left.

Suddenly, Jiang Xu, feeling something, lifted his head.

He happened to see Zhou Qingyue, standing by one of the second-floor windows.

His eyesight was excellent, he noticed Zhou Qingyue wearing black lipstick, too mature for her age.

Well well, was she going for a dark look or what?

Looking at Jiang Xu, Zhou Qingyue’s gaze was icy cold.

He didn’t care, turning his head to chatter and laugh with An Nuonuo.

The plan for the day was to have dim sum, then take the subway to the zoo.

The subway should be quite crowded in the morning.

If it was crowded, it wouldn’t be too much to protect An Nuonuo a little, would it?

As for how to protect, would have to see how many people were on the subway.

There were still many people having dim sum.

Any random restaurant they walked into was practically full.

These restaurants didn’t serve pre-cooked dishes; you could taste authentic flavors.

The mother and daughter duo were very curious.

The restaurant had an open kitchen, the long counter displayed various dim sum dishes.

Steamed dumplings, shrimp dumplings, BBQ pork buns, soy sauce ribs, rice noodle rolls, red rice sausage and so on, they ordered everything.

The waiters pushed small carts around, selling dishes.

The mother and daughter looked at the table full of food, their appetites whetted.

Both the presentation and taste of the dishes were excellent.

An Nuonuo picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it in her mouth.

A gleeful look appeared on her face.

When people taste something delicious, they tend to have this expression.

Jiang Xu also started eating at a leisurely pace.

Besides the taste, the atmosphere was part of the dining experience.

The pacing was relaxed, contrasting sharply with the hustle and bustle of outside worker bees, a stark divide.

The morning tea went on for over two hours.

The mother and daughter both ate their fill, with satisfied expressions on their faces.

An Nuonuo went to pay the bill.

The bill came to about ninety yuan.

Reasonable price.

Next, they were off to take the subway.

A ten-minute walk later, they got to the subway station.

Jiang Xu went to buy tickets.

As expected, there were many people.

The opportunity was here, wasn’t it?

Jiang Xu declared seriously, “As soon as the subway doors open, we rush in.

You need to employ an unstoppable attitude, anyone in the way be damned!”

The mother and daughter were perplexed.

It was just boarding a subway, why was he making it sound like they were going to war?

They understood soon enough.

As soon as the subway doors opened, a throng of commuters flooded the corridor.

The scene was…

A flurry of scrambling and jostling.

A large group of people failed to squeeze their way in and had to wait for the next train.

A few abandoned slippers lay solitary on the station floor.

Li Yuanjuan swallowed, frightened, she suggested perhaps they should consider taking a taxi instead.

Jiang Xu thought to himself, absolutely not.

If they took a taxi, how would he get to…how would he demonstrate his usefulness?

He said, “Auntie, the subway is quick, we’ll get there in half an hour.

If we take a taxi, it won’t get us there in less than two hours.”

“If the difference is that drastic, then forget it.”

“Alright, the next one’s coming soon. Get ready.”

The mother and daughter were instantly anxious.

As the subway doors opened, Jiang Xu, very naturally, grabbed An Nuonuo’s hand and rushed in.

They easily made their way on with Jiang Xu’s force.

Li Yuanjuan, following behind Jiang Xu, also managed to get in.

Then, Jiang Xu forced An Nuonuo into a corner…
