Chapter 162: A Good Figure Is Not Afraid of Being Seen

No matter how Xu An'an looked at it, Jiang Li seemed just like a child throwing a tantrum with his parents, and she almost burst out laughing.

She pressed down the corners of her lips. "It really is getting late."

"Then let's chat online," Xie Che said, standing up to leave first.

Jiang Li turned to Xu An'an, saying with a sinister tone, "You two talked really well, huh? You still need to chat online? What is there to talk about? Why aren't you chatting with your boyfriend—me?"

Xu An'an's eyebrows curved into bright, radiant smiles.

"Why do I smell a sour scent of vinegar? Could someone be jealous right now?"

Jiang Li let out a cold scoff and walked away, cradling the fat cat in his arms.

Xu An'an quickly followed behind him.

"Xie Che and I were talking about Teacher Gao's situation. It turns out Teacher Gao doesn't have terminal cancer and still has a chance of recovery, but her children conspired to deceive her. So, Xie Che and I were discussing how to expose their wicked deeds."

"Anyway, I'm going to see this matter through to the end. To put it bluntly, this is murder for financial gain."

"That is their own biological mother!"

Along the way, Jiang Li did not respond at all, only walking faster and faster.

Xu An'an frowned. Was he really this angry?

Hadn't everything been explained crystal clear?

Thinking this, Xu An'an grew a little angry herself and decided to ignore Jiang Li for a while.

After entering the door, just as Xu An'an reached out to flip the light switch, she was suddenly pinned against the wall as a dark shadow loomed over her.

The next second, her lips were fiercely captured in a kiss.

Overbearing and tyrannical, leaving no room for argument!

The aggressive kiss swept heavily across her lips, carrying a punitive undertone. Before Xu An'an could even react, he had already driven deep inside!

Their clothes gradually fell away.

The kiss carried them all the way to the bedside...

It wasn't until deep into the night that Jiang Li finally let Xu An'an go. His voice was hoarse as he said, "I've already sent people to investigate Teacher Gao's matter. I believe there will be results soon."

"So you don't need to look for Xie Che anymore. He can't handle this."

Still feeling dizzy, Xu An'an was pressed against Jiang Li's chest, replying softly, "Alright, I understand."

Only then was Jiang Li satisfied, pressing a kiss to her forehead.

"That's a good girl."

Suddenly remembering something, Xu An'an struggled to push herself out of Jiang Li's arms. "Where is my phone? Where did you put my phone just now?"

The phone had been vibrating continuously earlier, and Jiang Li, annoyed that it was disturbing his good time, had simply turned Xu An'an's phone off.

As for where he tossed the phone, he honestly couldn't remember.

Xu An'an angrily kicked Jiang Li, but she had virtually no strength left, her kick feeling utterly limp and soft. Instead, Jiang Li effortlessly grabbed her petite, fair foot.

"Stop messing around, I'll find it for you."

Seeing Jiang Li getting out of bed stark naked and completely unfazed, Xu An'an blushed furiously. "Can you at least put some clothes on!"

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow. "A good physique isn't afraid of being looked at."

"..."

Xu An'an averted her gaze. "Shameless."

Jiang Li let out a hearty laugh, picked up his boxer shorts, and put them on. "Is this okay now?"

"Hurry up and find the phone!"

"Alright, alright."

In the end, Jiang Li found Xu An'an's phone under the bed, but it seemed unable to turn on anymore, which made Xu An'an so angry she kicked him again.

Jiang Li didn't dodge, simply letting Xu An'an vent, and asked, "In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping, what do you want your phone for?"

"I just wanted to see who was looking for me."

"Afraid of missing a message from Xie Che?"

"No!"

"Judging by that, there must be other men. Jiang Yu?"

"..."

Xu An'an told him about Madam Jiang coming to look for Xu Fengnian. "The phone vibrated so many times just now, maybe there was something important? Besides, didn't you say Jiang Yu and I no longer have an engagement? Why is she still coming around?"

She didn't consider herself some kind of precious prize, but Madam Jiang's actions were simply incomprehensible.

Jiang Li fiddled with Xu An'an's phone. "Don't worry, nothing is going to change. If they look for you, just ignore them, or give me a call."

For some inexplicable reason, Xu An'an completely trusted what Jiang Li said.

Since that was the case, she wouldn't bother with it anymore.

"Then I'm going to sleep."

"All set." Jiang Li handed the phone over.

Seeing the phone screen glowing with the startup logo, Xu An'an was very surprised and gave Jiang Li a thumbs-up. "Not bad at all. How did you fix it?"

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow slightly and said with casual nonchalance, "Just fiddled with it."

Seeing Jiang Li's smug attitude, Xu An'an bit her lip with a suppressed smile. She unlocked the phone to check the messages and found that it was indeed Jiang Yu who had texted, asking where she was and why she hadn't come to find him as agreed, complaining that he had waited the entire day.

Jiang Li asked, "Who's looking for you?"

Xu An'an handed the phone to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was somewhat surprised, but he was very happy; this proved that Xu An'an trusted him from the bottom of her heart.

However, after reading the messages, he wasn't happy anymore.

"You made an appointment to meet him?"

"I am so wrongfully accused! Why on earth would I make an appointment to meet him?" Xu An'an had no idea what was going on, but she was very certain that ever since the banquet at the Xu family estate, she had never contacted Jiang Yu again.

Jiang Li's face darkened, and he told Xu An'an to go to sleep.

"Leave this to me to handle."

Xu An'an murmured an acknowledgment and immediately fell asleep as her head hit the pillow.

Jiang Li deliberately walked out to the living room and made a call to his subordinates. "Since he has so much free time, find him something to do and keep him busy."

"How is the search for Master Yuanji going? Still no leads at all?"

The person on the other end of the line replied, "Second Master, it is said that Master Yuanji met with someone on that very day and vanished without a trace only after that meeting."

"But no one saw Master Yuanji leave the premises. There is a high possibility that there is a secret passage inside the temple."

"Our men are already investigating in secret."

Right now, the Old Madam was fully convinced that Master Yuanji's words were absolute truth, and Jiang Li could not rashly bring up the matter regarding Xu An'an.

...

Jiang Yu had been unable to get in touch with Xu An'an and was in an extremely irritable state. His ugly expression scared Ning Niyue so much that she didn't dare to move. "A-Yu, are you alright? Why do you insist on marrying Xu An'an? Didn't you used to hate her?"

"Now everyone knows about our affair. Are you planning to abandon me and our child?"

Seeing Ning Niyue crying a rain of pear blossoms, Jiang Yu felt a pang of deep heartache. He pulled Ning Niyue into his arms, his large hand gently stroking her slightly protruding belly.

Even though he still couldn't fully accept the fact that he was going to be a father, his family was overjoyed.

Especially his grandfather, who was longing to hold a great-grandson.

"Yue'er, how could I possibly abandon you and our child?"

"But right now, Great-Grandma completely believes that damn monk, believing that Xu An'an has the destiny to bring prosperity to her husband. Otherwise, I wouldn't be this stressed."

And this had become the critical factor in whether he could become the company's vice president.

An idea struck Ning Niyue. "If I also have the destiny to bring prosperity to my husband, would I be able to marry you?"

Jiang Yu was stunned, unsure if that would work.

"I'll have to go back and ask."

"It will definitely work! Doesn't the Old Madam just want to find a woman who brings prosperity to her husband, hoping to make the Jiang family even more prosperous?" Ning Niyue immediately rushed off to find someone for help.

And as it turned out, she actually had a friend who happened to be with Master Yuanji.
