Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1252: Chapter 1253: Clearly Concerned

After returning to Peace Town, Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao knew they both had to leave, but they decided to stay in Peace Town a little longer.

They didn’t want to go to the provincial city or to Huaming County; without Chiang Xiao, being just the two of them felt too lonely. They preferred to stay near Osmanthus Alley for now, occasionally visiting Ge Dejun’s new home in Chestnut Mountain, and also overseeing the construction at the No. 17 old mansion bought by Chiang Xiao.

Building houses in Peace Town brought more joy to Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao compared to buying houses in the city or the county.

After all, this was their homeland, and they felt a strong sense of belonging to Peace Town. Additionally, buying someone else’s old house was never quite the same as building a new one.

Even though the old houses were being demolished and reconstructed.

Seeing that they genuinely wanted to stay, Chiang Xiao let them be and didn’t force them to follow her.

She, along with Meng Xinian, first went to the city, found Chu Liang, collected the payments for the Youqingwei pastries, and then parted ways with Meng Xinian.

Meng Xinian saw her off at the train station, helped her onto the train, settled her down, and arranged her luggage before disembarking himself.

Unfortunately, with too many people around during the farewell, he felt too shy to kiss her.

As he watched her being taken away by the train, thinking about how she was hustling for his sake, Meng Xinian felt both warmth and a pang of bitterness in his heart.

Chiang Xiao always gave him that kind of feeling.

Once the platform emptied, and the train was out of sight, Meng Xinian turned and left the station.

Chiang Xiao had ridden the train many times now and had grown experienced. She didn’t take anything out on the train but closed her eyes to rest, keeping to herself without talking to anyone.

The train entered Capital City.

As she stepped out, she heard Wang Yi’s voice.

”Xiao Chiang, Xiao Chiang, over here!”

Chiang Xiao looked over, somewhat surprised.

She hadn’t told Chen Yin that she was coming to the Capital, so how did he end up bringing Wang Yi to pick her up?

Wang Yi ran up to her and gave her a hug.

”Your Tyrant Meng called up and told Chen Yin to pick you up. And this time he specifically mentioned to bring me along to pick you up!” Wang Yi said teasingly, smiling at her, ”I guess it’s because Chen Yin picked you up last time, took you to breakfast, and then people saw and misunderstood. Tyrant Meng didn’t say it, but he obviously cared.”

Chiang Xiao silently looked at her.

”I say, you seem to have forgotten who misunderstood because of this and wanted to break up with Chen Yin, haven’t you?”

Did she really mean to bring up Meng Xinian?

Wang Yi glared at her, ”There’s no need to say it outright, right? If I knew you had Tyrant Meng, how could I have misunderstood?”

Chen Yin, standing nearby, couldn’t help but glance at her after hearing this.

”What, you mean to say I am so undesirable that having Meng Xinian means you couldn’t possibly fall for me?”

Wang Yi stuck out her tongue and whispered, ”Who would dare say you’re undesirable? Xu Yiqiu’s paintings are so expensive, yet you bought one right away and even took her out for Western food.”

Her voice was soft, carrying a certain tender grudge.

Chiang Xiao heard it, and her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t help but look towards Chen Yin.

During that last art exhibition, Chen Yin and Xu Yiqiu barely interacted, yet somehow they ended up meeting?

He hadn’t bought her painting the last time; was it that now he had bought the painting and even taken her out for a meal?
