Chapter 753: Chapter 753: The Pure Land of Bliss

Ramrod straight posture.

An air of distinction.

Mild-mannered and refined.

A man with the bearing of a noble son stood behind Liu Ruyan,

gazing at her with a pair of affectionate eyes.

But the next second, he was not feeling well.

“Holy shit, Jiang Xu, what are you doing here?!”

The man was none other than Chen Shiyen.

Upon seeing this bastard, Jiang Xu’s expression darkened.

His tone was unfriendly, “You’re not planning on doing something to my artist again, are you?”

“I truly love Miss Liu,” Chen Shiyen said with utter seriousness. “Please give me a chance.”

Jiang Xu suppressed the urge to beat this guy up.

He turned to Liu Ruyan, “Do you have feelings for him?”

If Liu Ruyan said yes, even if Jiang Xu disliked Chen Shiyen, he wouldn’t interfere needlessly.

“Don’t like him.” Liu Ruyan shook her head. “He’s very annoying. If it weren’t illegal, he’d have reincarnated by now.”

Chen Shiyen’s smile started to falter, “Ruyan, you might have misunderstood me. I sincerely like you.”

“In this life, it’s you or no one for me.”

Jiang Xu: “…”

An Nuonuo: “…”

If it weren’t for the fact that they had already seen Chen Shiyen’s shamelessness, they might have believed him.

Jiang Xu couldn’t be bothered to argue, his face set in a scowl, “Just leave, this is the first, and also the last time I’m warning you.”

“Anyone from my company’s roster is off-limits for you.”

“As for the consequences if you provoke them, I believe you’re well aware.”

“Now, please leave.”

Chen Shiyen wanted to persist.

But upon seeing Jiang Xu’s furious expression, his only option was to leave, crestfallen.

He truly meant it; why couldn’t anyone understand?

After Chen Shiyen left, Liu Ruyan quietly said to Jiang Xu, “Boss, the last time he came to see me, I accidentally overheard him on the phone.”

“The gist of it was that the Chen Family plans to bid on a prime plot in the southern part of Magic City, confident of success, with a bid of 1.8 billion.”

“Oh?” Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow. “I see.”

He immediately had someone look into it.

Soon, he received a report.

Indeed, there was an auction for a well-located piece of land in the south.

If they could win the bid and build a high-end residential complex, they could earn at least ten to twenty billion.

And if Chen Shiyen was so sure he could secure it, he must have pulled some strings.

Liu Ruyan was doing well.

Jiang Xu’s satisfaction with Liu Ruyan increased.

Having joined not long ago, she had already brought such great fortune to him.

Now that he was aware, Jiang Xu was certainly determined to acquire that land.

Even if he didn’t build anything, just holding onto it for a few years would allow it to be sold at a high price.

A surefire profitable deal.

Jiang Xu was quite short on cash at the moment.

After all, he still had that massive goal of a trillion in assets waiting ahead.

The meal concluded, everyone went their separate ways.

On the way back, An Nuonuo leaned on Jiang Xu and whispered, “Is Sister Xiao Yan really not coming when it’s time?”

“Yeah, she said she has other matters.”

An Nuonuo pursed her lips.

She knew that was just an excuse from Jiang Xu.

The real reason, she understood perfectly.

An Nuonuo felt somewhat saddened.

She had thought that after so much time had passed, Jiang Xiaoyan could let go and become friends with her.

But it seemed things were still the same as before.

She had truly hoped that when they married, all their friends and family could be there.

Yet, she didn’t dare to say anything too forceful.

Jiang Xu sensed An Nuonuo’s mood was downcast, but he didn’t know what to say either.

An Nuonuo and Jiang Xiaoyan’s relationship appeared fine on the surface.

But only Jiang Xu knew that it was practically impossible for them to become true friends.

If it weren’t for Jiang Xu, they might still have the chance to become good friends.

Maybe—

if one day An Nuonuo had a child and recognized Jiang Xiaoyan as the godmother, there could be a chance for reconciliation.

When they got home and finished washing up, they lay in bed and played with short videos.

The growth speed of Quick Sound can only be described as ‘terrifying.’

It had already surpassed two hundred million active users.

And daily active users were as high as one hundred million.

It left all the domestic software far behind.

However, Jiang Xu, that old six, always sent people to keep an eye on all major platforms.

To prevent any bloggers or media from leaking discussions about Quick Sound’s data.

It was all to fight for more time to develop under the radar.

Especially to guard against the giant that is Penguin.

The short videos hadn’t even made them wary yet.

After all, with QQ and WeChat in their hands, they still controlled the largest traffic pool in the country.

And not to mention Ali and Lan Du, who were still top dogs at the moment.

If they became aware of the terrifying potential of short videos—

Then at that moment, if they entered the game, Jiang Xu would suddenly face several strong opponents.

After all, Quick Sound was not yet at the invincible level it reached in the previous life, dominating at home and kicking ass abroad.

“Nuonuo, look at this,”

Jiang Xu pulled An Nuonuo closer to show her a short video that was playing.

In the video, a girl in Hanfu was dancing.

This girl was from Nuomi Entertainment.

And she was a newcomer who had just signed on not long ago.

To quickly accumulate fans and boost her popularity, she had to stir things up.

Then you see this girl in Hanfu dancing a classical dance in front of the camera.

As she was dancing, she suddenly lifted her skirt.

Would you believe she was wearing black stockings underneath?

The music abruptly changed.

One second it was the dignified classical dance.

The next second it turned into Bliss Pure Land.

At the end of the video, the girl even turned her back to the camera and shook her butt.

The intense contrast made the video go viral.

Over three hundred thousand likes and more than twenty thousand comments.

“I’m a bit sleepy, I want to go to bed,”

An Nuonuo instantly understood why Jiang Xu showed her this video.

She tossed her phone aside and lay down immediately.

SHe pulled the blanket over her, closed her eyes, and shut out the world.

“Nuonuo~” Jiang Xu couldn’t just let An Nuonuo fall asleep like that.

He shook her shoulder, “I find this pretty interesting, you have a Hanfu too, right?”

“Dance one for me to see.”

An Nuonuo: “…”

She chose to pretend to be asleep.

“Nuonuo?”

“My good Nuonuo.”

“Just agree, will you?”

————

But no matter what Jiang Xu said, An Nuonuo kept her eyes closed.

That dance was obviously not a serious one, and she did not want to dance it.

She was also too embarrassed to dance such a dance.

So, the only solution was to ‘play dead.’

Bad brother, always bullying her.

Seeing that An Nuonuo was indifferent,

Jiang Xu had no choice but to unleash his ultimate weapon.

He lifted the blanket and bit into An Nuonuo’s left…

An Nuonuo, who had been tightly closing her eyes and pretending to sleep, suddenly opened them.
