Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1430: Chapter 1432: A Thoughtful Gift

She had no choice but to return and figure out another way.

But today, she wanted to go home, too. Of course, not her own home, but the Lee family’s home.

The Lee family was in the west of the city, quite far from the academy, but Ye Wanqing had no choice but to return.

Her shoe, she didn’t know if it was because the quality was poor, but after Chiang Xiao kicked it once, it soon loosened a bit. She couldn’t find a shoe repair shop nearby and was too embarrassed to get her shoe repaired in public, so she wanted to return to the Lee family’s home, hoping to coax her cousin into buying her a new pair of shoes.

As for her own money, of course, she would save it if she could. How could she spend it so quickly?

Today, when she handed over those four hundred yuan, her heart truly bled.

Chiang Xiao went to the market to buy groceries and as she got near the courtyard, she saw someone at the door, paused, and then, recognizing the person, exclaimed with joy.

”Brother Kuang?”

Kuang Yunxian turned around, saw her, and couldn’t help but smile warmly.

”I was just wondering if you would come back today, and it seems my luck is still good.”

”I’m supposed to stay at the school, you know. Since you returned to the Capital City, why didn’t you come to find me at school?” Chiang Xiao said while taking out her keys.

Kuang Yunxian carried some bags and, freeing one hand, took the groceries she bought. ”I have something to do tonight, so it wasn’t convenient to go to the academy. I thought I’d come here to check if you were home, and if not, I would have come tomorrow.”

”Well, you’re really lucky then.” Chiang Xiao opened the door and invited him in, ”Brother Xinian told you this address, right?”

”Yes, but it’s been a while. You might not know, he had the house fixed up, and I recommended the person for it,” Kuang Yunxian smiled.

Chiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, ”I really didn’t know that; he didn’t tell me. Thank you, Brother Kuang.”

”Still so formal with me?” Kuang Yunxian entered and looked around, nodding, ”It’s really nice.”

”Yeah, it’s quite nice. You’re always welcome to visit, Brother Kuang. After all, I do have a mansion in the Capital City now.”

Kuang Yunxian laughed and held up the groceries, ”Are you cooking tonight? That’s a lot of food for one person.”

”Of course, it’s not just for me. I have guests tonight, Wang Yi, you know her, right? And her cousin.”

”Wang Yi? I know of her but only met her once.”

”It’s funny, her cousin and I are classmates.”

”Oh? That’s quite a coincidence.”

”Why don’t you stay for dinner too, Brother Kuang? I bought enough groceries.” After all, hosting two or three people is almost the same, and the more the merrier.

Kuang Yunxian hesitated for a moment, then nodded, ”Okay.”

Chiang Xiao liked his easy-going nature.

Kuang Yunxian helped her carry the groceries to the kitchen, then handed her something he was carrying, ”This is a gift for you, for your new home, of course.”

”A gift?” Chiang Xiao took it, opened it, and immediately smiled, ”Is this Little Snowball? It looks like it.”

It was a porcelain cat.

And it indeed resembled Snow Ball.

”You have a good eye. I had it made by someone, modeled after a photo of Snow Ball. Looks quite alike, doesn’t it?”

”Just had this cat made?”

”Yes, of course, just paid a bit more money to do so,” Kuang Yunxian laughed.

Chiang Xiao held the porcelain cat dearly. ”Thank you, Brother Kuang, this gift is really thoughtful.”
