Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1257: Chapter 1258 Medicine Gathered

But seeing Chen Yin and Xu Yiqiu indeed had a hint of flirtation in front of Wang Yi, as a friend of Wang Yi, if she didn’t speak up for her, that would only indicate she was rational enough but also cold enough.

Unless she didn’t consider Wang Yi a close friend.

Xu Yiqiu seemed a bit surprised, ”Oh, is Miss Wang Chen Yin’s girlfriend?”

It seemed like she hadn’t known this at all.

Chen Yin looked towards Chiang Xiao, meeting her gaze.

He felt that Chiang Xiao had never looked at him with such a slightly cold and thin gaze before.

Chen Yin was startled.

Chiang Xiao had already said to him, ”Chen Yin, this is really your fault. Haven’t you introduced Miss Wang as your girlfriend to Mr. Xu?”

”I just felt since Miss Wang and Teacher Xu knew each other before me, there was no need for a reintroduction,” Chen Yin explained.

”But how could that be? Look, Mr. Xu still doesn’t know.”

”That was my fault,” Chen Yin immediately said. ”I didn’t tell Teacher Xu about my relationship with Wang Yi, please forgive me, Teacher Xu.”

Xu Yiqiu smiled slightly, ”It’s no problem, knowing now is not too late. Congratulations to you both.”

That extra drone on ’both’, under her gentle and teasing tone, sounded quite delightful.

”Thank you,” Wang Yi smiled with pursed lips, then gently squeezed Chiang Xiao’s hand under the table.

She was very grateful to Chiang Xiao.

Probably another reason why she liked Chiang Xiao so much was that, even though she looked quite young, the way Chiang Xiao spoke and acted didn’t show any signs of naivety or ignorance.

On the contrary, she was very attentive and smart.

”I just remembered I still have things to do. Thanks for your hospitality today, next time it’s my turn to host and I’ll treat you,” she said.

Xu Yiqiu stood up, then turned to Chiang Xiao, ”Xiao Chiang, I really hope you can make time for the sketching trip. On the road, I’d love to have a good chat with you, as I’m quite interested in a few of Teacher Liu’s painting techniques.”

Chiang Xiao was about to refuse, but Wang Yi secretly tugged at her, and her words at the tip of her tongue turned into, ”Then I’ll consider it. If the time fits, I’ll contact you.”

”Great, then I’ll wait for your good news.” Xu Yiqiu waved at them and left.

Her departure suddenly made the atmosphere a bit somber.

Having almost finished eating, Chiang Xiao felt it was necessary to give them some time and stood up, ”Let’s go then. Chen Yin, you can take me to Renzhi Hall.”

She decided to first take the medicine to Renzhi Hall and also ask Doctor Chen if Meng Chaojun’s condition had worsened during this period.

Chen Yin drove her to the entrance of Renzhi Hall and left with Wang Yi.

Before they left, Chiang Xiao gave Wang Yi a meaningful look, signaling her to talk it out properly with Chen Yin and not to start a quarrel.

Wang Yi purse her lips and nodded to indicate that she understood.

Originally, Chen Yin had things to discuss with her, but with Xu Yiqiu there, they hadn’t talked.

Chiang Xiao entered Renzhi Hall, fortunately Doctor Chen was there.

”Chiang Xiao, what brings you here?” Doctor Chen saw her and was quite happy, ”Seeing you carrying such a big bag, have you gathered all the medicine already?”

”Doctor Chen, you really are incredibly insightful,” Chiang Xiao smiled.

Doctor Chen pretended to be angry, ”Didn’t I tell you to call me Grandpa Chen? Why are you being so formal again?”

Chiang Xiao then corrected herself, ”Grandpa Chen. It’s not that I’m being formal. I was just worried you might forget that you allowed me to call you Grandpa Chen. What if I suddenly called you that and you asked how I wasn’t being formal, what would I do?”

Doctor Chen laughed heartily and teased her, ”You’re just being cheeky!”
