Jiang Xu’s entire family was in high spirits, feeling exceptionally good.

But Fu Yanjie was in trouble.

In the midst of ‘hunting down’ his own son just now, Fu Hao accidentally let slip about Fu Yanjie’s frequent visits to the clubs.

And even detailed the most requested technician at a particular establishment.

The consequences? Clearly apparent.

He was severely dealt with by Zhang Yuanyuan, ending up bruised with a swollen face.

Jiang Xu couldn’t help but laugh when he saw his sorry state: “How embarrassing, bullied by your own wife.”

“What do you know?” Fu Yanjie retorted toughly: “This is called having fun; those who’ve never been hit by their wives wouldn’t understand the pleasure in it.”

Jiang Xu: “Bullshit.”

“Ah,” Fu Yanjie sighed: “I had thought about matchmaking Fu Hao with your sister, but An Ping beat me to it.”

“Yeah, I didn’t see that coming either.” Jiang Xu stroked his chin: “Appearance aside, Fu Hao has a character that’s many times better than you as a father.”

“You think so too, eh?” Fu Yanjie chuckled, finally revealing his true colors: “Since that’s the case, do you think there’s a possibility for Fu Hao with Shi Yao or Zhiruo?”

“So you’re targeting my daughters!” Jiang Xu gave him a kick, half-joking, half-angry: “Then it all depends on your son’s ability.

If he can win them over, Nuonuo and I wouldn’t have any objections.

But if you’re thinking I’ll help you with this, forget it.”

“Great!” Fu Yanjie slapped his thigh: “Your word is enough for me.”

He laughed heartily, as if he could already see the day when Jiang Shiyao or Jiang Zhiruo would become his daughter-in-law.

Jiang Xu shook his head, feeling that Fu Yanjie was getting ahead of himself.

His daughters were excellent and intelligent; they wouldn’t easily fall for someone like Fu Hao.

But when it comes to young people’s affairs, best to let them figure it out on their own.

If they truly ended up together, Jiang Xu would be happy too.

Fu Hao is a good kid with decent character, having grown up before his eyes.

After dinner, An Nuonuo took Lin Zhiyin aside for a chat, offering her advice on what to pay attention to during pregnancy.

Lin Zhiyin listened attentively.

“Wanna play a round?” Fu Yanjie pulled out the latest Mei Zhu beauty-legs 80 smartphone.

This phone is equipped with the world’s most powerful one-nanometer chip, entirely independently developed and designed by Agricultural Country.

Its performance is incredibly strong.

Running twenty major games simultaneously doesn’t even cause the slightest lag, let alone overheating.

With a price tag of over twenty thousand, it’s a top-of-the-line high-end phone.

Other brands’ phones are still using three-nanometer chips, not even in the same league.

One has to admit, over the years, the products developed by Jiang Xu’s company have been remarkably successful.

Just one leak would be more than enough for many small and medium-sized countries to feast on.

“Come play Legendary King.” Fu Yanjie invited Jiang Xu.

“Can you even handle it, you noob?” Jiang Xu glanced at him: “I’m already a hundred-star glory player.”

“Heh, look who’s underestimating whom, take a look at this.” Fu Yanjie proudly displayed his ranking.

Jiang Xu was stunned: “Damn, Legendary King, how did you climb up there?”

Although Jiang Xu developed the game, as he got older and busier, he didn’t always have time to play.

Technically, he was no match for the younger generation.

To reach a hundred-star glory was already an excellent achievement.

“Hehehe.” Fu Yanjie leaned into Jiang Xu’s ear, whispering: “A post-00s technician I frequent is awesome at gaming, she helped me climb up.”

“…” Jiang Xu was speechless: “You really are shameless.”

Fu Yanjie was smug: “So what?”

The two played a few rounds in duo queue.

“Damn, you really are a noob. Trash belongs in the trash can.”

“You’re incredible, making the whole enemy team fly.”

“Fu Yanjie, are you a charity? Constantly gifting the enemy kills and warmth?”

“Can’t you shoot without a support?”

…

No matter how long they played, Jiang Xu continued to rage.

This guy was just too bad.

Either feeding or on his way to feed.

Every single game ended up being super tragic for him.

“Um…” Fu Yanjie tried to salvage some dignity for himself: “I just didn’t sleep well last night, that’s not my true skill level. Let’s go again, I will definitely carry the game.”

Jiang Xu: “Carry your ass! I’m done!”

Although that’s what he said, he still played a few more games with him.

Everybody was already used to it.

When these two got together, they would always banter, their friendship making others envious.

They played until past three in the morning before finally going to sleep.

Jiang Xu had a rare dream.

In the dream, Jiang Xiaoyan’s matters with him were discovered by An Nuonuo.

An Nuonuo didn’t make a scene, she just silently picked up a fruit knife and stabbed Jiang Xiaoyan to death.

And then slaughtered Jiang Xu as well.

In the end, An Nuonuo also gave herself a stab, dying in Jiang Xu’s embrace.

Jiang Xu woke up frightened, drenched in cold sweat.

“What’s wrong, Brother Xu?” An Nuonuo sat up and gently patted Jiang Xu’s back, a face full of concern.

“Nothing.” Jiang Xu forced a smile: “Just a nightmare.”

But upon seeing An Nuonuo’s face, the scene in the dream felt all too real.

All around him, it seemed as if puddles of blood were appearing, looking incredibly terrifying.

“What kind of dream could scare you so much?” asked An Nuonuo, puzzled.

“Just some bloody scenes,” Jiang Xu said insincerely.

At the same time, he felt his heart palpitate.

Could this dream be a premonition of something else?

God forbid!

Right now, Jiang Xu was very satisfied with how things were; he hoped nothing would shatter it.

But the more he thought about such matters, the more frightened he became.

“Huff!”

Jiang Xu took a deep breath, his eyes becoming sharp.

There’s a saying, to overcome fear, you must face it head-on!

He pushed An Nuonuo down.

And then came a ‘Hunger Tiger Pounce’: “Hehehe, my dear wife, I need you to help me cultivate!”

An Nuonuo: “…”

——————–
Time flies like a swift horse passing a crack, inadvertently slipping through the fingers.

Unaware, the day of Lin Zhiyin’s childbirth arrived.

The whole family sprang into action upon hearing the news.

An Feng, Li Yuanjuan, Jiang Shan, Chen Yue, Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo, and Lin Zhiyin’s parents all rushed to the maternity ward immediately, waiting anxiously.

The most nervous one, naturally, was Jiang Lanxi.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but laugh.
