Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1073: Chapter 1074: Get to Know Each Other Again

Chiang Xiao was sweating bullets.

This is the high school entrance, brother!

She quickly walked over to him and rolled her eyes.

”Can’t you choose a better occasion to call me sister-in-law?”

Wang Yi couldn’t contain his mirth at the side.

”I also just found out you’re only in your second year of high school! I thought you were already in university.”

When he found out that Chiang Xiao was only in her second year, he was also taken aback.

Upon hearing about Meng Xinian’s engagement to her when she was only thirteen? He couldn’t help but ask Chen Yin, ”Chiang Xiao is still so young, how could Meng Xinian bring himself to do it?”

Chen Yin replied with utter calm, ”I reckon he couldn’t bring himself to do it, hence, he’s holding back.”

It was only after Wang Yi made sense of what ”holding back” meant that his face turned red.

Chiang Xiao, oblivious to their conversation, turned to Wang Yi, ”Do I really look that mature?” Already in university?

In the past, it was always her teasing Meng Xinian for looking older, could it now be her turn to seem aged?

Wang Yi quickly waved his hands and explained anxiously, ”No, no, no, that’s not what I meant at all. I really thought you were around eighteen, but you just look younger...”

”There’s a saying, ’To explain is to conceal.’ Do you really think I don’t look young?” Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but tease him as she saw his increasingly flustered reaction.

”No, really not, you are only sixteen, how could I possibly think you’re not young? Chiang Xiao, I’ve never thought that, really not.”

Wang Yi, thinking that Chiang Xiao was truly bothered by this, became even more anxious, almost wishing he could lay his heart bare for Chiang Xiao to see he wasn’t lying.

”Alright, sister-in-law, Wang Yi is just naive and timid, don’t scare her.” Chen Yin couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped in to protect him.

Chiang Xiao burst into laughter.

Now she thought that this pair was quite good together.

She just hoped that in the previous life, the later complications between Chen Yin and Xu Yiqiu weren’t as she had imagined—a love triangle.

Although it wasn’t her place to meddle in the love lives of others, she quite liked Wang Yi, especially after learning about the things she did for Xu Yiqiu later on, she thought Wang Yi was truly a woman with clear love and hate, firm stances, and quite unique.

Right now, she might seem docile and gentle, but there was a spirit of chivalry and stubborning living deep within her.

”You’re defending her already?” Chiang Xiao glanced at Chen Yin sideways.

Chen Yin ran his hand through Wang Yi’s hair, smiling slightly.

”Would Xinian stand up for you if somebody bullied you?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi’s eyes lit up instantly.

Her heart instantly filled with sweetness.

That was the most charming thing Chen Yin had said to date! Comparing them to Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao was as sweet as it got, he had never been one for such words before.

Chiang Xiao smiled.

”Nowadays, if someone bullies me, I usually pay them back right on the spot.”

”Sister-in-law is badass.”

Wang Yi looked at Chiang Xiao and suddenly extended her hand, ”Let’s get to know each other again. My name is Wang Yi, I work at the Capital City Fine Arts Institute.”

Chiang Xiao looked at her, shook her hand, and replied, ”Chiang Xiao, sophomore at Huaming County No. 3 Middle School, G Province, and also, member of the G Province Painters Association as Xiao Chiang.”

”You’re a painter?” Wang Yi exclaimed in shock.

Chiang Xiao nodded her head.

They were chatting while walking toward the spot where Chen Yin parked.

By the time the subject arose, they had already reached his car.

Chiang Xiao naturally and unceremoniously got into the back seat.

Wang Yi also followed and sat in the back seat.

”You’re amazing, Xiao Chiang! Can I call you that?”

”Of course you can.”

”Can I see your paintings? Oh, right, we’re preparing for an art exhibition, you know about it, right?” Wang Yi’s eyes shone brightly.
