Chapter 740: Chapter 740: Go Cry Somewhere Else
An Nuonuo wasn’t filming at the moment.
Upon hearing Jiang Xu’s plea for help, she said without a second thought, “Then Xiao Hui might want to go out and play; why don’t you take her out for a walk?”
“Okay, I’ll try that.”
Jiang Xu hung up the phone and swiftly picked up the little one and dashed outside.
What Jiang Xu hadn’t expected was this.
As soon as they got outside, she stopped crying immediately.
“You little stinker!” Jiang Xu said, annoyed, and gently smacked her bottom, “So this was your game, huh?”
“Giggle giggle~”
The little one, not sure if she understood or not, let out a series of clear, ringing laughs.
An Nuonuo called again.
Jiang Xu was holding his younger brother with one hand, and he answered the call with the other.
“Is she still crying?”
“She’s not crying anymore; you’re really good at this.”
“Hehe, if you stay a few more days, you’ll understand once you get the experience,” An Nuonuo said,
“Brother Xu, when you take her out, remember to bring diapers, formula, a thermos, and such.”
“Also, it’s best to bring an extra set of clothes and a hat, in case it gets windy.”
“Okay, got it.”
“Mmhm, Sister Xiao Yan is looking for me, I need to go take care of something,”
“Love you.”
“Love you too.”
———-
Jiang Xu embarked on his babysitting journey.
Hmm, where to go have fun?
A walk in the nearby park, maybe.
A few bodyguards followed covertly.
As soon as the little one was outside, her big, sparkling eyes found everything astonishing.
She kept clapping her hands and making baby noises.
“Wow, this little girl is so adorable,” a passerby said, eyes gleaming.
“That’s my younger brother,” Jiang Xu proudly declared.
“So cute, I’ve never seen such an adorable little girl.”
“If I had such a pretty daughter, I’d even set a table for the village dogs.”
———-
Quite a few passersby stopped to praise the little one in all sorts of ways.
However, they all seemed to know their limits and no one tried to touch her.
Someone recognized Jiang Xu.
They took photos and videos and posted them online.
This instantly sparked a heated discussion among netizens.
Then, the topic #Jiang Xu Babysitting soared to the trending searches.
He truly was a trending phenomenon.
He could make it to the trending searches with little effort.
A certain young girl saw these pictures online and immediately set off.
In the park, as soon as Jiang Huiyan arrived, she became the belle of the ball.
The old men and women in the park fell in love with the rosy-cheeked little one.
The little one wasn’t shy either; she greeted everyone with a smile and even waved her hand.
She melted the hearts of all the seniors around her.
Some people wanted to pinch her cheeks, but Jiang Xu stopped them.
They could look but couldn’t touch.
Outsiders carried too many germs, and the little one’s immune system wasn’t as strong as an adult’s.
After about an hour of play, Jiang Huiyan grew tired.
She just lay in Jiang Xu’s arms and fell asleep.
Jiang Xu found a quiet place.
And just held her.
Watching the lake in front of him.
This scene was also very harmonious, very warm.
Until…
A girl in hot pants and a tank top, with fair skin and a fiery figure, walked past him.
Then ‘accidentally’ fell.
“Ah~”
The young girl let out a sultry cry of pain.
Clutching her left ankle with both hands, her eyes rimmed red: “It hurts so much~”
Even with a bit of a whining tone, can you handle that?
Jiang Xu’s gaze stayed firmly on the lake not far away.
Someone said that looking at distant sceneries could help prevent myopia.
“Excuse me, young man~” Seeing that Jiang Xu was indifferent, the girl had no choice but to speak up.
She looked at him with an expression of helplessness, unable to fend for herself, “Could you please help me get up, thank you~”
It seemed that it was only at this moment Jiang Xu noticed her.
He slowly lowered his head and gave the girl a gentle smile.
Just as the girl thought Jiang Xu would help her up,
she saw Jiang Xu put his finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture: “Keep it down, don’t disturb my sister. Go cry somewhere else.”
The girl: “???”
No way, how is this different from the scenario she had anticipated?
Alright, alright, man, you’ve caught my attention.
Large teardrops in the girl’s eyes fell as soon as they formed.
“I’m sorry, Brother, it’s my fault, I didn’t mean to fall.”
“If I have offended you, Brother, I apologize.”
This tea drama was stronger than the Pu’er tea Jiang Xu had collected for many years.
Inside, Jiang Xu was utterly unmoved.
He just calmly watched her.
The girl felt uncomfortable being stared at by Jiang Xu and forgot to cry.
She asked timidly, “Brother, why are you staring at me?”
Jiang Xu: “I’m just wondering how much water… oh no, how many tears you can shed.”
The girl: “…”
She knew she had met her match.
This man was not someone she could easily manipulate with her usual small tricks.
So, she stopped pretending.
She quickly got up, dusted herself off,
and extended her hand to Jiang Xu: “Hi, my name is Li Rongrong, ‘rong’ as in fluffy. Lifuzhen is my aunt.”
Jiang Xu glanced at her but showed no intention of shaking hands.
He simply said, “I haven’t washed my hands.”
Li Rongrong said cheerfully, “No worries, I don’t mind that you haven’t washed your hands.”
“What I mean is…” Jiang Xu looked at the girl who obviously was in her rebellious phase, “you haven’t washed your hands.”
Li Rongrong: “…”
Her mouth twitched, wishing she could take off her sock and stuff it into Jiang Xu’s mouth.
Why didn’t her aunt mention that this man had such a sharp tongue?
Li Rongrong withdrew her hand, took a deep breath, and said, “I don’t have any agenda, I just wanted to get to know you.”
She had once heard about Jiang Xu from the mouth of Lifuzhen.
That this man was tough to deal with, even she couldn’t handle him.
So Li Rongrong became interested in Jiang Xu.
She was a top-tier rich second generation.
What she loved most was to have those men at her beck and call.
Just recently, feeling bored, she had come across Jiang Xu’s information online.
And so she had eagerly made her way here.
Only to encounter the first Waterloo of her life.
But she definitely wasn’t about to give up just like that.
Where would she put her reputation as “Queen of the Seas” then?
Jiang Xu stood up: “I’m not interested in you, stay away from me.”
Although this kid was rather pretty, Jiang Xu never had much of a liking for this non-mainstream type.
“Hey hey hey, don’t run away.” Li Rongrong chased after him.
“Let me tell you, I have a listed company in Bai Xiong Country, and a huge network, too.”
“You won’t lose out by being friends with me.”
Jiang Xu paused in his steps.
Bai Xiong Country and Bear Country were brother countries.
With a population of over a hundred million, Bai Xiong was a vast market.
In the future, Bai Xiong Country was also part of Jiang Xu’s business plans.
However, the situation there was somewhat special, and it was quite difficult for foreign companies to blend in.
He sized up Li Rongrong from head to toe.
Not until he had made the girl feel completely uncomfortable did he finally speak.
