Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1254: Chapter 1255 His Gentleman

She must be seeing Xu Yiqiu formally for the second time now.

The last time, when Xu Yiqiu invited Liu Guoying as a guest lecturer for a class, naturally, Chiang Xiao went to listen as well.

However, back then, to keep a low profile, she sat in a spot far away and did not formally speak with Xu Yiqiu. It was only when Liu Guoying mentioned her that Xu Yiqiu looked precisely in her direction. Their gazes met in the air, and they nodded at each other.

This was their second encounter, and also the first time they met so closely.

Xu Yiqiu was wearing a wide-sleeved, long dress in a Tang dynasty style that revealed a section of her pale and delicate wrist. She was wearing a Fei Cui Imperial Consort bracelet tinted with violet and green on her wrist. Her hair, straight and smooth, cascaded down, revealing a White jade earring on her left ear that provided a striking contrast against her black hair and fair complexion, lending her an air of intrigue.

Her ankles were delicate too, adorned with a red lotus flower tattoo, like a dancing flame blooming on her slender, snow-white ankle.

Such attire, even if placed twenty years later, would be considered quite individualistic, let alone in the early 1980s.

Xu Yiqiu, with such an appearance, was the center of attention wherever she went.

And at this moment, Xu Yiqiu also noticed Chiang Xiao, her eyes lifting slightly, ”Xiao Chiang?”

”It’s me, Mr. Xu, hello.”

Xu Yiqiu was well known in the art circles both domestically and internationally, so many people referred to her as Mr. Xu out of respect, especially since her last three-day lecture had been beneficial for many.

Xu Yiqiu offered a faint smile.

”I don’t mind others addressing me that way, but you don’t have to follow suit, Xiao Chiang. With your talent, you are more than capable of surpassing me. I cannot accept being called ’Mr.’ by you. Is Mr. Liu Guoying here too?”

”Mr. Xu is being modest. The teacher didn’t come; I am here alone.”

”What a coincidence, Xiao Chiang also knows Chen Yin, and Miss Wang, hello.” At this point, Xu Yiqiu finally turned towards Wang Yi, nodding slightly in greeting.

With a simple nod, the jade earring on her ear wavered at the side of her face, exuding a full womanly charm.

Wang Yi was slightly taken aback.

She hadn’t noticed that Xu Yiqiu addressed Chen Yin by her first name but referred to her formally as Miss Wang.

In fact, she had interacted with Xu Yiqiu more often than Chen Yin had because of some issues with hanging paintings during an exhibition.

Chen Yin had already stood up when she arrived.

After talking with Chiang Xiao for a few moments, she asked, ”Did you come alone, or do you have an appointment? If you’re here alone, you’re welcome to join us for the meal if you don’t mind.”

Generally, you wouldn’t come to such a restaurant by yourself, right?

Just as Chiang Xiao thought Xu Yiqiu would decline, she had already nodded agreeably, ”Sure, then I’ll take up your offer without ceremony.”

Chen Yin immediately went over and pulled out a chair for her.

Originally, he had been sitting next to Wang Yi, with Chiang Xiao on Wang Yi’s other side. Now, Chen Yin had Wang Yi on his right and Xu Yiqiu on his left.

Chiang Xiao noticed that Wang Yi suddenly dropped her head, her hands resting on her legs tightened slightly.

She suddenly remembered that when they had been seated earlier, Chen Yin had not offered to pull out the chairs for her or Wang Yi, whereas he had been quite the gentleman for Xu Yiqiu.

Xu Yiqiu had tilted her head back and thanked him with a smile as she sat down.

From the angle of Chiang Xiao and Wang Yi, Xu Yiqiu’s neck appeared slender and graceful, the arc of her chin delicate.

She was a woman whose features were not particularly beautiful, but her posture and attention to detail were exquisite.
