Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2030: Chapter 1966: Weighed Down by Worries

”What?”

Kuang Yunxian was taken aback.

The Royal Family of Country Y’s banquet?

Wasn’t she going there for an art competition? How did she get involved with the royal family?

This jump is too incredible.

Chiang Songhai smiled, his face blooming like a flower.

Although Chiang Xiao couldn’t come back for the New Year, he and Ge Liutao were quite unused to it. But hearing the news Meng Xinian shared over the phone still made them feel as if they’re in a dream.

”She was kept by that gentleman named Mr. Wen Li, to attend the royal banquet before returning home!” Chiang Songhai said. ”By the way, our Little got the first prize!”

”Really?” Kuang Yunxian couldn’t help but smile upon hearing it, ”I knew Xiao Chiang could do it; she is indeed extraordinary.”

That young girl is becoming more impressive.

Kuang Yunxian recalled the first time he met Chiang Xiao.

Remembering now, her performance was already outstanding back then.

In just a few years, she has reached heights that even he needs to look up to.

And she’s only just turned eighteen; who knows what kind of exceptional accomplishments she’ll have in the future.

Kuang Yunxian once again felt the distance between them growing ever farther. And he wondered if they would eventually become strangers, drifting apart.

”Teacher Kuang, Teacher Kuang?”

Chiang Songhai’s voice pulled the lost Kuang Yunxian back.

”Hmm?”

”I wanted to ask why you’re not coming back to the Capital for New Year this year?”

”I’m also used to being on my own.” Kuang Yunxian smiled faintly.

Ge Liutao brought over another plate of candy, grabbed a handful, and stuffed it into Kuang Yunxian’s hand, ”Here, have some candy.”

”Thank you.”

Kuang Yunxian looked around, ”Isn’t Chu Liang here?”

”He had New Year’s Eve dinner here with Qian Fang yesterday; today, the couple said they were going out for a walk. They won’t be here for lunch either. Teacher Kuang, will you have lunch at home today?”

Kuang Yunxian thought for a moment and nodded.

”Alright, then it’s no trouble at all.”

”No trouble at all! We’re really glad you could come; otherwise, it would just be the two of us, quite lonely.” Ge Liutao was a bit more cheerful than before, speaking more with familiar people. ”Little’s granduncle and the others will come to the city tomorrow; it’ll be lively then.”

”They’re all coming?”

”Yes.”

Kuang Yunxian nodded.

After chatting for a while, he hesitated to bring up the matter about Chen Zhu.

Previously, he pretended not to know about it because he didn’t know how to face Chiang Xiao after learning about it.

He had even talked to Chiang Xiao about the woman who was living at their house before.

Back then, when he mentioned Chen Zhu, was there a hint of disdain in his tone?

It was because of Chen Zhu that he couldn’t face Chiang Xiao properly.

Now, even facing Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao, he felt somewhat uncomfortable. No matter what, it wasn’t as effortless as before.

After all, Kuang Kanzhi was his uncle.

Chiang Songhai glanced at him a couple of times.

He felt that Kuang Yunxian seemed burdened with worries this time.

But since Kuang Yunxian didn’t speak up, he didn’t feel right to ask.

Kuang Yunxian stayed at the Chiang Family for a day. That day, the Xue Liujin family also came to pay New Year’s visits; the Chiang Family wasn’t so quiet.

But by evening, he still hadn’t found the opportunity to mention his uncle’s possible visit to the Chiang Family and had to leave again, troubled.

”Teacher Kuang seemed a bit strange today.” That night before bed, Ge Liutao couldn’t help but bring it up.
