After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 838 - 828: Extra: Approved to Date

The presence of the hand on the waist was impossible to ignore.

But Xu Ling'an knew if she wanted to break free, Jiang Lingxu wouldn't forcefully hold her there.

However, at the moment she locked eyes with Jiang Lingxu, she froze.

For the first time in her life, she felt her thoughts spiraling out of control, drifting and entwining, finally exploding like splendid fireworks in her mind.

After Jiang Lingxu finished saying the words that had hidden in his heart for a long time, he appeared calm on the surface, but his heart raced to his throat.

His gaze was fixedly on Xu Ling'an's reaction, like a prisoner awaiting the final verdict.

Not being pushed away immediately, he felt secretly delighted.

But he didn't become anxious, even though every moment was torture for him.

After half a minute had passed, he discreetly pulled the wrist of the person in front of him closer, finally placing Xu Ling'an's hand on his face, "Is it okay, An'an?"

Xu Ling'an instinctively moved her fingers.

The skin beneath her fingertips was warm, there was a slight roughness from his stubble, the hair at his temples was short and hard, followed by the clear jawline below.

Even without looking with her eyes, just by the sensation beneath her fingertips, she realized clearly that the person before her not only had superior features but had unconsciously grown into a mature man.

This clear sensation also brought back her drifting thoughts, her gaze focused, and she saw the intense nervousness and anticipation on the person before her.

Xu Ling'an gently nodded, "Okay."

The volume of this single word wasn't high, it could barely be heard in the overly quiet room.

But to Jiang Lingxu's ears, it was like heavenly music!

"You, you agreed?"

The surprise came too suddenly, and Jiang Lingxu's expression went blank for a moment.

But as he reacted, he couldn't contain himself anymore.

"That's great!"

Not only couldn't he control his laughter, but couldn't resist picking her up and spinning several times in the open space by the sofa.

He only stopped when Xu Ling'an patted him on the back of his head.

"Don't wake up Shen Qiangqiang, the lounge is sound-proof, but it can't hold up to your loud voice!"

Did he forget how penetrating his voice could be?

The key is that there are people in the office area outside too. Just thinking about it is really embarrassing if they hear it.

"Uh-huh," Jiang Lingxu quickly put her down and turned to look in the direction of the hidden door, softly reassuring, "It's okay, Qiangqiang sleeps very deeply, shouldn't..."

Before he finished speaking, he was proven wrong.

The hidden door was pushed open from the inside, and a small head with messy hair popped out.

Shen Qiangqiang rubbed her sleepy eyes, her gaze locked onto the two people still hugging each other for two seconds, just before Xu Ling'an could pat Jiang Lingxu's arm to let go.

"Bang!"

The door closed again.

Leaving the two standing outside looking at each other in dismay.

"Qiangqiang is..."

"See no evil?"

Shen Qiangqiang closed the door again, climbed back into bed, sat cross-legged in the middle, and put her chubby hands under her equally chubby chin in deep thought.

But before she could understand what she had seen, the children's watch on her wrist suddenly vibrated.

Shen Qiangqiang looked at the photo of her mom displayed on the watch face and skillfully pressed accept.

"Good afternoon, Mommy!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Good afternoon, Qiangqiang. Did you nap? Were you a good girl at your Aunt An'an's today?"

"I was good, I napped, then got woken up."

"Woken up?" Jiang Lingxi was a bit surprised, knowing her daughter's sleep quality is rock-solid, "Who woke you up?"

Shen Qiangqiang complained bluntly, "Uncle!"

"Did he sing and disturb you?"

"He laughed and woke me up, oh, he was just holding An'an."

Jiang Lingxi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, exchanging a glance with Shen Yunqing who was steeping tea across from her.

Has that silly boy finally learned to take the initiative?

Fat daughter said the two were already hugging, implying the silly boy wasn't just warming the bench by himself?

"Where are you now?"

"Still at An'an's."

So Jiang Lingxu took the opportunity of visiting An'an's place to help and seized the moment to win the beauty over?

Seems like he struck while the iron was hot!

When Jiang Lingxu nervously knocked on the lounge door and entered, Shen Qiangqiang had already spilled all the beans on her uncle.

Calmly ending her mother's video call, she looked up at her uncle.

Facing his chubby niece's eyes, Jiang Lingxu scratched his head, "Qiangqiang, just now with your Aunt An'an, we were..."

Shen Qiangqiang waved her hand assertively, her expression completely steady, "I get it, I understand!"

"That's good. Uh, wait, no, what do you understand?"

"You just want to date An'an, like my mom and dad, have a cute baby like me. Alright, I approve!"

Jiang Lingxu: "..."

Should he thank her for her approval?

*

The person who received explicit approval to date wished to announce it to the world!

Although Xu Ling'an's personality is quite reserved, she wasn't the type to deliberately hide having a boyfriend.

So within days, it was already known among their family, friends, and colleagues.

Jiang Lingxi had Shen Qiangqiang as the "little informant."

Jiang Wenhu, while her son was home for lunch, deliberately talked about envying Mrs. Next Door who was younger yet already a grandma, to press her silly son a bit.

After she said it, her son replied, "I'm with An'an," almost causing Jiang Wenhu to drop the rice bowl she's holding.

As for Gao Lan, Jiang Cisheng, and Xu Yin, Xu Ling'an had planned to pick a proper time to reveal her relationship to the three elders.

But before she could figure out how to do it, Xu Yin saw Jiang Lingxu dropping her home.

Well, no need to choose a specific time now.

Jiang Lingxu formally stood before Gao Lan and Jiang Cisheng in another role.

Regarding colleagues, Miao Xiaohuo was the first to witness her senior and Jiang Lingxu holding hands.

After being stunned for a moment, recalling the previous few meetings, she suddenly felt it was inevitable.

Moreover, the pairing of a carefree singer and a rigorous research engineer really felt intriguing.

While enjoying the CP, she also paid attention to the emotionally disappointed Xiao Bo.

Xiao Bo stayed silent the entire day upon learning that Xu Ling'an and Jiang Lingxu were together.

The next day, when he appeared before everyone again, Miao Xiaohuo felt relieved just by looking at him.

Xiao Bo's liking for his senior was undeniable, but this fondness was mixed with admiration and wasn't purely about liking his senior.

In terms of how much he liked or loved, it couldn't beat the career prospects brought by working with his senior on projects.

Reason told him he couldn't win, so he focused on the future over feelings!

Being rational enough, she didn't need to worry about him acting out of "love turning into hate" and impacting their projects.

If he were a few years younger, Jiang Lingxu felt he couldn't tolerate a secret admirer at his girlfriend's workplace.

But now, he handed concert tickets to Xu Ling'an, "I remember there are twelve people in your project group, here are twelve tickets, you can offer them as a perk to those interested."

He knew that exceptional people never lacked admiration and love.

So he'd work hard to strive to always be the unique one in his girlfriend's heart!
