Chapter 1035: Chapter 126 Natural Changes Chapter 1035: Chapter 126 Natural Changes “Baby is so adorable.”

“Look at her eyes, so big and bright.”

“Her nose really resembles Sister Xiaoya.”

“Her little feet are also quite cute.”

…

Several women surrounded Bai Mingyue, each chattering ceaselessly and critiquing the little one from head to toe.

To avoid causing any harm to the baby, everyone wore a mask.

So there was no need to worry about saliva from talking splashing on the baby’s face.

Jiang Xu was ‘excluded’ on the outside, unable to see the child at all.

He found it a bit amusing.

After they had their fill of fun, it was finally Jiang Xu’s turn.

“Click!”

Jiang Xu took out his phone and snapped a photo.

Looking at the little one, he thought to himself: “My dear daughter, grow up healthy and happy, daddy will protect you.”

“Tonight, Brother Xu, you’ll have to sleep alone,” An Nuonuo said apologetically to Jiang Xu: “I’ll be staying with Sister Xiaoya for the next few days.”

Jiang Xu smiled, “No problem.”

Night.

After taking a bath, Jiang Xu lay in bed video-calling his three children.

And outside in the living room, it was just An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei.

“I’m sorry, Nuonuo.” Chu Youwei held her hand and whispered, “I didn’t mean to keep the Yuanqiu Country matter from you.”

An Nuonuo gently pulled her hand away, her tone cold: “It’s fine, sister. You have your reasons for not telling.”

“You’re really still mad at me.” Chu Youwei’s face turned pale and explained, “I didn’t intend to hide it from you, I just didn’t want you to focus all your energy on me, I’m sorry~”
As she spoke, Chu Youwei’s tears fell like pearls continuously.

She wasn’t acting; she genuinely felt panicked.

If An Nuonuo really started ignoring her, she didn’t know what she would do.

“Sister, don’t cry, I really don’t blame you.”

Chu Youwei’s crying made An Nuonuo unable to maintain her cold demeanor.

She stepped forward and embraced her: “Alright, I’m not angry anymore.”

“Really?” Chu Youwei’s eyes twinkled.

Seeing An Nuonuo nod, she finally burst into a tearful smile: “Thank you, Nuonuo. I won’t hide anything from you anymore.”

The two sisters looked at each other and smiled, their previous grievances melting away.

————
Time flew by, and Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo ended up staying there for a week.

Zhou Qingyue, Zhou Mengmeng, and Chu Youwei had already moved some of their core assets here.

In the future, this place will be their real headquarters, the core region.

All their operations will center around here, spreading out to countries around the globe.

For now, this place remains low-profile and hasn’t caught the attention of any person or power.

Jiang Xu also kept pouring money into this place.

The construction of the city walls had already begun.

According to the final plans, once the double city walls are constructed, they’ll guard the edge of Yuanqiu Country like two giant dragons, protecting all life here.

Then comes some weaponry.

Some of it Jiang Xu can produce himself, which he manufactures internally and then ships here.

What he can’t produce, he buys elsewhere and then secretly transports here.

Unknowingly, the power of this place has been growing rapidly.

With the current strength, apart from those three big bosses who are unbeatable, everyone else pretty much doesn’t back down in a one-on-one fight.

“It’s about time to go back,” Jiang Xu said to An Nuonuo, who was feeding Bai Mingyue, after finishing up the last bit of work on hand: “We’ve been out for a while now.”

He was mainly afraid that if he continued to stay, An Nuonuo might notice something.

It was better to leave early.

“But…” An Nuonuo hesitated slightly, “Sister Xiaoya just gave birth a week ago, she doesn’t understand a lot of things.”

“Don’t worry.” Jiang Xu stepped forward, wrapping his arm around her shoulder, “She might not understand, but she is rich, isn’t she? What professional can’t she hire?

You don’t need to worry so much here, come back home with me quickly. Are you going to abandon your own children?”

“Alright.” An Nuonuo indeed missed her three children quite a bit.

So she decided to return home tomorrow.

During dinner, Jiang Xu mentioned the matter of going home.

Nobody had any objections to it.

With An Nuonuo around, everyone was actually quite restrained and lived in trepidation.

Bai Xiaoya, sitting opposite Jiang Xu, kicked him twice without any visible reaction.

Jiang Xu immediately understood.

At 1:50 a.m., after making sure An Nuonuo was sound asleep, he got up and left the bedroom quietly.

He headed to the study next door.

Inside the study, Bai Xiaoya was already waiting there.

During dinner, she had kicked Jiang Xu twice.

Meaning to meet at 2 a.m.

Jiang Xu casually locked the door from the inside.

Meeting in the study was the most secure option.

Even if An Nuonuo noticed Jiang Xu getting up in the middle of the night, he could use work as an excuse.

Moreover, the study also had a secret door, which allowed Bai Xiaoya to leave quickly.

Perfect.

As soon as she saw Jiang Xu, Bai Xiaoya leaned against him.

Soft and fragrant, she whispered softly, “We’re about to part again, I’m really going to miss you.”

Jiang Xu held her slender waist, “No need to talk, we’re short on time and have important matters, let’s get started.”

Bai Xiaoya giggled and then…

More than an hour later, Bai Xiaoya left through the secret door.

Jiang Xu then unlocked the study door and simply slept there.

Unsure if An Nuonuo had noticed his midnight rise, sleeping in the study was the most appropriate choice.

The next day, Jiang Xu was awakened by An Nuonuo.

“I knew you must have been working if you got up in the middle of the night,” An Nuonuo said with concern.

Soon after Jiang Xu had left last night, An Nuonuo had noticed.

But she didn’t suspect anything else, just thought that Jiang Xu had some sudden urgent matter to handle.

This morning, seeing him, it was indeed as she had guessed.

“Yeah, just a small issue to deal with, it’s nothing,” Jiang Xu said in a casual tone.

The more casual he was, the more believable it was.

And the more An Nuonuo felt sorry for him.

Sigh.

Jiang Xu silently sighed to himself, his acting skills were becoming exceedingly refined.

Talk of any film king was nothing compared to Jiang Xu.

After breakfast, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo checked on Bai Mingyue, then left.

As soon as the two of them left, the rest of the people in the house breathed a massive sigh of relief.

“Phew, the madam finally left.”

“While she was here, I dared not talk much with Brother Jiang, fearing she would find out.”

“Speaking of which, Nuonuo is becoming more and more dignified and authoritative.”

“It’s true, it seems the position naturally brings about a certain demeanor.”

…
