Chapter 549: Chapter 549 What is this remote control used for?

It was Wang Xiaoyuan, whom I hadn’t been in touch with for a while.

” Sister Xiaoyuan.”

“Hehe, where are you? I’ve come to Magic City. Do you have time to join

Nuonuo and me for a meal?”

“Sure, but Nuonuo’s out playing.”

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Xu saw Wang Xiaoyuan in a private room at a seafood restaurant.

Having not seen her for a while, Wang Xiaoyuan looked even more charming.

The aura of a strong, independent woman about her had become even more apparent.

Success in business has a significant positive impact on a person.

Regardless of whether they are a man or a woman.

Accomplishment in one’s career bestows a sort of halo.

It can exert a tremendous attraction for the opposite sex.

“It’s rare,” Wang Xiaoyuan marveled, “that you’d actually be willing to part with Nuonuo for a while.”

Jiang Xu laughed, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Are you here in town for something important, Sister Xiaoyuan?”

Looking at her current state, she seemed to have completely recovered from the predicament of being betrayed by her own brother in the past.

“Indeed, I do have something.” Wang Xiaoyuan pressed the bell on the table so the waiter could serve the dishes.

Sitting up straight, she asked, “Virtual Coin is very popular now, isn’t it?

Two friends approached me wanting to involve me in setting up our own Virtual Coin.

What do you think, can this be done?”

“No, absolutely not!” Jiang Xu said gravely, “Although it’s not expressly prohibited in our country right now,

this kind of thing is essentially challenging the status of currency and will be banned sooner or later.

If you get involved now, you might end up being accountable in the future!” Jiang Xu knew all too well how lucrative Virtual Coin was at the moment.

Even though Jiang Xu faced a significant financial shortfall, he never considered getting involved in it.

“Alright, I’ll take your advice,” Wang Xiaoyuan nodded.

Jiang Xu warned, “If you’re not particularly close to those two friends, try to keep your distance to avoid future entanglement.”

Wang Xiaoyuan acknowledged she understood.

The dishes were served.

They were quite lavish.

Wang Xiaoyuan pushed a plate of sea cucumber sashimi in front of Jiang Xu, winking, “Eat more of this, it’s good for you.

After all, with such a beautiful girlfriend, you should nourish yourself well.”

Jiang Xu was both amused and frustrated.

After they had nearly finished eating, Wang Xiaoyuan got up to go to the restroom.

Something fell off her.

Jiang Xu picked it up and saw that it was a small remote control.

He couldn’t figure out what it was for.

Since Wang Xiaoyuan had already left the private room, he decided to wait for her return to ask about it.

Jiang Xu sent a message to An Nuonuo asking when she would be back.

If she wasn’t coming back, eating all this nutritious sea cucumber would be a waste.

An Nuonuo quickly replied that she would be back tomorrow.

She also sent a lot of photos.

Blue seas and skies, various group photos, and selfies with her girlfriends.

Each one could be considered a work of art.

Encouraged, Jiang Xu grabbed another two sea cucumbers and stuffed them into his mouth.

To love her, he needed to strengthen himself.

Wang Xiaoyuan returned, crisply standing in front of Jiang Xu, “Are you full?

Do you want to order some more?”

Jiang Xu, “No need, I’m already full. Oh, Sister Xiaoyuan, you dropped this just now.”

Jiang Xu took out the remote control.

Wang Xiaoyuan’s complexion changed, and she reached out to take it.

“What’s this remote control for? I’ve never seen it before,” JiangXu said as he pressed the red button.

“Ah!!”

Suddenly, Wang Xiaoyuan let out a scream, squatted down abruptly, and bit her lip hard.

“Sister Xiaoyuan, what’s wrong?” JiangXu was startled and quickly squatted down to check on her.

“I… I’m okay… um… my stomach… ah… feels a bit uncomfortable… please give me back the remote control…”

Speaking in fits and starts, Wang Xiaoyuan’s face turned beet red and she looked in great distress.

Jiang Xu said anxiously, “If you’re not feeling well, I can take you to the hospital right now.”

“No… it’s really not necessary… Just give me… ah… the remote control.”

Wang Xiaoyuan repeated.

Jiang Xu thought that the remote control must be very important to her, so he gave it back to her.

Only when Wang Xiaoyuan held the remote control in her hand did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She realized her forehead was covered in sweat.

“I’m fine now.” WangXiaoyuan got up, “Let’s go.”

“Oh, okay.”

The two left the private room.

However, just before leaving, Jiang Xu instinctively glanced at the floor.

He saw a puddle of water.

Jiang Xu didn’t think much of it.

It was probably just a drink or some alcohol that was accidentally spilled during the meal.

“Goodbye.”

“Be careful on your way home.”

After waving goodbye, Wang Xiaoyuan hurriedly got into her car.

“Ah ah ah, so embarrassing.”

Unable to help herself, Wang Xiaoyuan covered her face with her hands and let out bursts of lamentation.

Fortunately, Jiang Xu hadn’t noticed anything; otherwise, how could she face him in the future?

It took Wang Xiaoyuan a while to calm down.

Then she couldn’t help but take out the remote control again.

She looked around.

She parked her car in the parking lot, where there were not many people at the moment.

She took out a cloth and placed it over the front windshield.

She reclined the driver’s seat.

Then, she once again pressed the red button…

Her mind was flooded with memories of the meal with Jiang Xu, his voice, his expressions.

After a while, feeling that it was somewhat lacking, she took out her phone and played a video of Jiang Xu.

The next day.

It was almost noon when Jiang Xu arrived at the port.

He had come half an hour early.

An Nuonuo and the others were about to return.

Having saved up for several days, Jiang Xu felt terrifyingly powerful.

After waiting for more than twenty minutes, he saw a cruise ship slowly approaching the dock.

Bai Xiaoya was the first one to disembark.

JiangXu went up to greet her, “Sister Xiaoya.”

“Ah, why are you here?” Bai Xiaoya’s face looked unnatural when she saw Jiang Xu.

An Nuonuo had told him the time of their arrival the previous night.

“What’s wrong, are you not feeling well?” Jiang Xu asked curiously.

“No… nothing…” Bai Xiaoya hesitated, then clenched her teeth and said, “It’s just that… I’m telling you, don’t get agitated, huh.

Nuonuo had an accident an hour ago and got slightly injured…”

Jiang Xu hadn’t waited for Bai Xiaoya to finish speaking before he dashed out and hurried up the cruise ship at the highest speed.

Bai Xiaoya shrank her neck and hurriedly followed him.

Upon boarding the ship, JiangXu saw a group of girls on the deck.

Jiang Xiaoyan was on the left, Zhou Qjngyue on the right, supporting An Nuonuo in the middle.

An Nuonuo’s left leg was bandaged and cast.

There were also two band-aids on her face.

Jiang Xiaoyan and Zhou Qjngyue hadn’t expected Jiang Xu to be there; they showed a trace of fear.

Jiang Xu’s face was frightfully gloomy, the air around him seemed to solidify. Even from a distance, the girls could feel the chilling aura emanating from him, “What happened here?

You’d better give me a reasonable explanation!”
