Chapter 230: Girlfriend

“Okay, I understand. Thank you, Xuanyuan Ningshuang.” Jiang Xincheng said seriously, frowning slightly. He didn’t worry too much because he had expected this for a while. In his past life, it happened like this too. Because of the Yuan Crystal Mine on Shimen Mountain, Ximen Changkong, the heir of the Ximen Family, traveled all the way to Shimen Mountain. As a result, he met Jiang Xincheng’s sister Jiang Xinyu, and it led to a tragedy.

Jiang Xincheng had prepared for this day long ago, and he already figured out what might happen.

Xuanyuan Ningshuang said, “There’s no need to thank me. If it wasn’t because of me, you and Ximen Changkong wouldn’t have clashed. Really, it’s my fault. After the new year, I’ll go to Tongle Town too. I have two Great Yuan Warriors at the late stage of Cloud Condensation Realm guarding me. They can at least help share some of the pressure. Ximen Changkong is a ruthless person who would do anything. You need to be very careful.”

“No need for that. I can handle this myself.” Jiang Xincheng smiled as he refused. Most likely, this time Ximen Changkong wasn’t going to come. According to what the principal of Tianhai University said, a Primordial Warrior at the Rain Transformation Realm level – a Frontier Governor type – hid in Tongle Town. He would protect Jiang Xincheng’s family for a year. So for one year, Jiang Xincheng didn’t have to worry.

As for after a year? Jiang Xincheng would deal with the Ximen Family himself and get rid of this danger forever.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xincheng saw three pairs of eyes looking at him with confusion and worry. He smiled and said, “Ximen Changkong, the heir of the Ximen Family, once wanted to harm Xuanyuan Ningshuang. I happened to run into that situation and saved Xuanyuan Ningshuang, so she avoided that danger. That’s why we became closer. She isn’t my girlfriend; I have another girl as my girlfriend. About Ximen Changkong, you all need to be careful later on, but don’t worry too much. There are strong guards around us, and the Ximen Family won’t dare do anything extreme.”

“Big brother, so you really have a girlfriend?” Jiang Xinyu, Song Ru, and Jiang Haian weren’t worried about Ximen Changkong, but focused on Jiang Xincheng’s girlfriend.

Looking at their three curious pairs of eyes, Jiang Xincheng nodded. “Yes, I do.”

“Who is she? Do you have her photo? Show it to us quickly.” Jiang Xinyu said eagerly, her small face full of anticipation. Song Ru and Jiang Haian stopped wrapping dumplings too, watching Jiang Xincheng closely with curiosity, waiting for him to bring out the photo of his girlfriend.

Right then, Jiang Xincheng’s phone rang again. They all paused and looked at his phone.

“Sister Anan? Big brother, is Sister Anan your girlfriend?” Jiang Xinyu stared at Jiang Xincheng’s phone and asked suspiciously.

Jiang Xincheng smiled slightly and nodded. “Yes, it’s her, Lin Anan.”

“Here you go.” Jiang Xinyu quickly answered the call and pressed the phone to Jiang Xincheng’s ear. Then, along with Jiang Haian and Song Ru, they all leaned in and listened intently. Their eyes lit up with gossip, eager to see what would happen next.

“Heartcheng little brother, what are you doing?” Lin Anan’s sweet and lovely voice came through. Jiang Xincheng showed a smile on his face. “I’m wrapping dumplings. How about you?”

Lin Anan pouted. “I’m alone at home. Dad went to the institute, and Mom is only busy with her business. It’s so boring. If I knew, I’d have agreed to go play with you.”

“It’s not too late to come now.” Jiang Xincheng laughed. Lin Anan hesitated for a moment, then spoke uncertainly. “Better not. Next time. It’s almost New Year. Oh, Heartcheng little brother, I just broke through to the Bone Training Realm. The Thick Earth Art’s training speed is really amazing.”

The two chatted happily. Beside them, Jiang Haian, Song Ru, and Jiang Xinyu didn’t blink as they listened, very interested in the matter. From the conversation between Lin Anan and Jiang Xincheng, all three understood more about Lin Anan and knew she was a straightforward and generous girl.

“Heartcheng little brother, it’s New Year tomorrow. Say hello to Auntie and Uncle for me. When there’s a chance, I’ll go visit them.” At the end of the chat, Lin Anan didn’t forget to remind Jiang Xincheng. Jiang Xincheng nodded, then glanced at Song Ru and Jiang Haian with a smile. They nodded at once to show they had heard.

After hanging up, Jiang Xinyu immediately grabbed Jiang Xincheng’s phone to get online. Song Ru asked curiously, “Heartcheng, that Lin Anan sounds nice. Do you have her photos? Show them to us.”

“I found them already. Sister Anan is very famous as Xuanyuan Ningshuang’s best friend and one of the top beauties in the Finance and Economics College of Tianhai University. Among all girls at Tianhai University, she ranks high too. Her personality and character are first-rate; many boys like her.” Jiang Xinyu explained quickly.

Jiang Haian widened his eyes. “Xinyu, how do you know all this? Have you already met your brother’s girlfriend?”

“Not at all. I’ve been browsing my brother’s Tianhai University Tieba forum for the past few days and found lots of interesting stuff. There are many pictures of Sister Anan on Tieba, all taken secretly by boys. She’s extra pretty. I had no idea Sister Anan was Brother’s girlfriend. Brother is so amazing.” Jiang Xinyu said with a grin, then suddenly got excited and tapped on her phone. “Found it! This top post is full of Sister Anan’s no-makeup photos. Mom and Dad, come look.”

The three huddled together to admire Lin Anan’s personal photos.

“Wow, is this girl really Heartcheng’s girlfriend? She’s beyond pretty, almost unreal, and so classy too. Heartcheng, how did you win her heart?”

“Good, good. She’s on par with Xinyu. Even without makeup, she’s this beautiful. Heartcheng has great taste. But look beyond her appearance. You need to see her character too. For a girlfriend, you can pick a pretty one, but for a wife, find someone practical for life.”

“Sister Anan has a great character. See the comments on this post? They all say she’s fair, honest, kind-hearted, hardworking, and a good student.”

“She’s so excellent, Heartcheng. You need to work hard to keep this girl. Don’t let someone else steal her away. Next vacation, you must bring her here. I’ll give her the family heirloom ring.”

“Yeah, yeah! For such a good girl, you need to move early. Don’t miss out, Heartcheng. It’s all up to you.”

“Seriously, big brother! With a girl as outstanding as Sister Anan, look how many boys like her on Tieba. Love confession posts come out every day, proving how popular she is at school. If you don’t push yourself and act fast, another guy might win her over. Best for you two to make it official quickly so it can’t change, and Sister Anan will have to marry you. Haha.”
