Magic City Airport.

Jiang Xu arrived early.

After waiting for about ten minutes, he spotted the girl who haunted his dreams amidst the crowd.

She was wearing a pink dress, paired with white lace stockings and pink high heels, making her look incredibly cute.

Her figure was curvaceous, endearing, and heartwarming, compelling a second glance.

Her temperament was also lovely, with a kind of tenderness hidden in the depths of her eyes, giving off a warmth that made one want to approach her.

Strikingly beautiful, with fair skin and delicate features, she exuded a youthful and sweet vibe.

It was still true.

Just standing there, she could dazzle Jiang Xu’s entire youth.

An Nuonuo also saw Jiang Xu the moment she arrived.

Her eyes brimmed with a soft shimmer.

The suitcase in her hand was abandoned on the spot as she ran towards Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu opened his arms wide, ready to catch An Nuonuo as she flew into his embrace like a weary bird returning to its nest.

Smelling the fragrance from her hair, his heart settled into tranquility.

“Brother Xu, I’ve missed you so much,” the girl murmured softly.

“I’ve missed you too,” Jiang Xu said, moved.

He now understood what ‘a single day apart feels like three autumns.’

The two held each other for a good three or four minutes before letting go.

Jiang Xu playfully tapped her nose, “Are you hungry? Let’s go eat something.”

“Yes, I didn’t eat anything on the plane, waiting to eat with you.”

“Good girl, I’ll make sure you’re well fed in a bit.”

An Nuonuo blinked her eyes.

Why did that sound a bit strange?

But where it was odd, she couldn’t quite pinpoint at the moment.

They picked a tea house that had been open for decades.

Jiang Xu specifically ordered two cups of red bean paste.

An Nuonuo spoke up in confusion, “Brother Xu, I remember you don’t like red beans.”

‘Tve been eating red beans every day recently,” Jiang Xu looked at her, “Do you know why?”

An Nuonuo shook her head.

Jiang Xu: “Because ‘Red beans grow in the southern country, in spring they sprout on branches. I hope you’d gather more, these beans embody yearning thoughts.’”

Waves rippled through An Nuonuo’s heart.

She felt the profound love for her in Jiang Xu’s words, a love too thick to dissolve.

She stood up and pulled Jiang Xu to leave the place.

“Where are we going?” Jiang Xu asked.

“Let’s go home, we’re not eating out, let’s eat… me…”

Back home, Jiang Xu felt like he was in a dream.

In the dream, he first went to Shuangfeng County, then passed Dongkou, and arrived in Dongkou County.

Dongkou County was a nice place with beautiful scenery and clear river water.

Jiang Xu stayed there for a long time.

Some of the things that had been building up over many days were well released.

A nice place, he’d come again next time.

Then he woke from the dream.

An Nuonuo wasn’t by his side.

He got up and walked to the kitchen.

As expected, she was cooking.

Her long, lustrous black hair was tied up into a bun.

In the house, she wore a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.

Her back to Jiang Xu.

Revealing her perfect back.

Her legs were straight and slender.

The shock absorbers, like two peaches, perfectly shaped.

Jiang Xu gently encircled her from behind, his chin resting on her shoulder, “Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?”

An Nuonuo’s delicate body trembled slightly.

As Jiang Xu spoke, the warmth of his breath brushed against her ear.

It tickled, causing her body to twist involuntarily, “Couldn’t sleep… worried you might be hungry.”

“Hmm, indeed I am hungry, is it ready to eat?”

“Not yet, you go out first, and wait for another five or six minutes, then it’ll be ready to eat.”

Jiang Xu, “No, it can be eaten now.”

An Nuonuo, “Ah? Umm…”

At the dinner table, An Nuonuo was telling Jiang Xu about the gains from her trip to the Capital city.

First of all, she made a lot of money.

After deducting the forty-five percent tax, she still had fifty-five million in hand.

Another thing was bridging Zhou Qingyue with Century Jewelry, which made her value skyrocket.

To thank An Nuonuo, Zhou Qingyue also took free promotional photos for several products in her online store and advertised them on Weibo.

As a result, the sales of several products in An Nuonuo’s online store soared in the last two days.

It was a win-win.

“Oh, right.” An Nuonuo put a piece of succulent steamed abalone on Jiang Xu’s plate and said, “Zhou asked me whether you have any good scripts recently?

She has looked at several scripts now, but none are as good as the ones you’ve written.”

“Hmm… Let me think.” After pondering for a moment, Jiang Xu said, “Tell her to wait a little longer.”

Otherwise, we could start with filming the movie version of “Martial Universe.”

Zhou Qingyue is actually quite suitable for the female lead of this novel.

If it’s a movie, the plot can be condensed, so there’ll be much less need for fight scenes.

Plus, with visual effects being handled by our own company, we can further reduce the cost.

And, if the movie’s response is good, it can also boost the sales of the novel and the comics.

It will create a virtuous cycle.

Right, the only thing to consider is the funding issue.

Jiang Xu planned to ask Wang Xiaoyuan about it.

“Sister Xiaoyuan, have you eaten? How have you been recently? I’ve really missed you, sis.”

“Hmph, what a smooth talker,” Wang Xiaoyuan snorted. “Get to the point, what do you want?”

“Nothing really, just genuinely missing you, sis.”

“Fine, then I have things to do, so I’ll…”

“Wait, sis, actually, there’s this tiny bit of an issue.”

“Hmph, I knew it. You never look for me unless you need something.”

Jiang Xu could hear a hint of faint resentment in her tone.

But he didn’t pay much attention to it.

He told her his thoughts.

“Okay.” Wang Xiaoyuan perked up. “Give me an estimate. As long as it’s no more than two hundred million, it should be fine.”

Wang Xiaoyuan seemed to have become more generous after not seeing her for a while.

Probably because her company has been doing well lately.

“Two hundred million should suffice,” Jiang Xu thought for a moment and said, “If there’s still a shortage, I’ll cover the rest.”

After discussing some details, the call ended.

With the funding issue settled, Jiang Xu contacted Zhou Qingyue.

“Wow, that’s great, thank you, Boss Jiang.” Zhou Qingyue was overjoyed, “For such a huge favor, there’s no way I can repay you, so I just won’t.”

Jiang Xu, “Six.”

“Is Nuonuo by your side?” Zhou Qingyue changed the subject.

“She is.”

“Oh, then never mind, goodbye.”

The phone emitted a series of beeping sounds.

Jiang Xu thought to himself that this woman definitely wanted to say something flirty just now.

After finishing the meal, An Nuonuo went to wash the dishes and mop the floor.

Jiang Xu had intended to hire a cleaning service regularly.

But An Nuonuo said that having someone else clean didn’t feel like home.

So he let her be.

In the evening, they each worked in separate rooms.

The software An Nuonuo created still needed constant improvement.

She hadn’t been idle even while she was on her business trip.

As it neared eleven o’clock, Jiang Xu closed his laptop.

Ready to wash up and go to sleep.

When Jiang Xu came out after his shower, he found that the lights in the living room and bedroom were all turned off.

In the darkness, An Nuonuo’s voice rang out.

“Brother Xu, I have a little surprise for you.”
