A marriage with only duty and no affection...
Meng Xinian’s heart drifted far away in an instant.
If he were to marry Chiang Xiaoxiao, well, it shouldn’t be like that.
Now he didn’t know if their marriage would have affection, but at least he had always felt that she was very good, very amusing, and he was certainly happy when he was with her.
But when would she grow up?
He was somewhat impatient.
However, the thoughts in his mind, after all, remained unspoken.
To Chiang Xiao, who was outside the door, that was just a stretch of silence.
She gave a wry smile.
She didn’t know what she was feeling.
If Meng Xinian had said he liked her, fallen in love with her at this moment, she would probably have called him a pervert, was this pedophilia?
But now, hearing Meng Xinian talk about their relationship , only because of the complicated situation at home, happening to meet her, realizing that the engagement with her was most suitable for use as a shield, he had unhesitatingly set their marriage.
There was a sour feeling in her heart.
Chiang Xiao, oh Chiang Xiao, you’re such a grown person, are you really going to be so easily moved, deceived again?
Thinking of the times her heart had throbbed for him, Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but lift her hand to her chest, lower her gaze, and when she looked up again, her eyes were clear once more.
What does it matter what he does? She has her goals. Without thinking too much about anything else, the only way is forward, forward, forward!
Chiang Xiao emphasized her steps as she walked in and looked at Kuang Yunxian, "Brother Kuang, can we go to the library now?"
She couldn’t wait to start looking for information.
And after all, a day might not be enough for the search; she had to be prepared to spend two continuous days in the library.
Kuang Yunxian felt his mood lighten a bit when he saw her bright eyes.
He stood up, smiled, and said, "Yes, let’s go then. I booked this room for a friend, but he had a last-minute change of plans and didn’t come. If I had known you were coming, I could have saved a room."
Chiang Xiao replied, "Being friends with Brother Kuang is truly blissful."
It was the first time Kuang Yunxian had ever heard someone describe him in that way; he paused for a moment, then couldn’t help but smile as he walked over and patted her shoulder. "So, does Chiang Xiao want to be Brother Kuang’s friend?"
Chiang Xiao extended her right hand, "Then let’s shake hands formally again, as friends. Brother Kuang, it’s a pleasure to meet you."
Kuang Yunxian’s eyes were warm as he took her hand, "It’s a pleasure to meet you, Chiang Xiao."
And so, they finally shook hands.
Meng Xinian couldn’t quite explain why, but he sensitively noticed a slight difference in Chiang Xiao’s demeanor after she entered the room; he knew he didn’t feel good about it.
Indeed, there had been a little change in Chiang Xiao’s heart.
If Kuang Yunxian was just a friend of Meng Xinian, then she would have to go through Meng Xinian if she wanted to visit the library in the future. Before, she felt it made no difference, relying quite naturally on Meng Xinian’s connections, thinking there was no need to make a fuss.
But after hearing Meng Xinian’s words, she suddenly woke up.
Why had she so quickly trusted Meng Xinian, and why had she considered him one of her own from the bottom of her heart?
This made her vigilant.
She never wanted that, after being reborn, she would still end up as someone else’s responsibility in the end.
She could live well on her own; why should she be someone else’s responsibility?
