Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2063: Chapter 1999: Sudden Seat Change

Sitting next to her was a woman around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with curly hair and a tight white sweater that outlined a captivating figure.

Soon after boarding the plane, she exchanged a few words with Chiang Xiao, but Chiang Xiao felt tense, speaking in a hushed voice.

She couldn’t recall how many words she had exchanged in the tavern; back then everything was chaotic, urgent, and she hadn’t paid attention to who else was there. What if someone from that night at the tavern was now also on this plane?

One of the things she learned from Meng Xinian was to be cautious. So, even if she’s unsure, it’s better to be careful.

The woman chatted with her briefly and noticed Chiang Xiao’s lack of enthusiasm, so she stopped conversing.

Chiang Xiao appeared to be sleeping soundly all along.

She held back for a long time but couldn’t any longer.

She reached out gently, tapped Chiang Xiao, and softly said, ”Excuse me, could you please let me out?”

Chiang Xiao pretended to wake up, quickly making way.

”Sorry, very tired,” she said huskily, letting her out.

After the woman left, Chiang Xiao adjusted her sitting posture and stretched her neck.

Pretending to sleep was even more exhausting than actually sleeping.

After a while, someone approached. She shifted to let that woman pass but realized it wasn’t the woman; it was the Bearded Man who was supposed to be behind her!

Chiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

Luckily, she hadn’t looked up to meet his gaze, only saw his pants and recognized his scent.

This made her even less inclined to look up, pretending not to know who approached, while still shifting her position to let him pass.

Avoiding any confrontation with him was best for now.

Sitting with him would be tense, but it was better than directly facing him and conversing.

Because this man gave her a deeply dangerous feeling.

The man indeed passed by her, sitting in the seat by the window.

Chiang Xiao was contemplating her next move when the white sweater woman returned.

”Hey, sir, this is my seat,” she said.

At this moment, Chiang Xiao finally looked up at the white sweater woman, feigning surprise, indicating she had no idea what happened.

”Excuse me, can I sit by the window for a while? I feel a bit stifled over there. Thanks,” the man said.

His voice was as rich and smooth as fine wine, one that could intoxicate a person.

Chiang Xiao observed the white sweater woman, noticed her enchanted expression fleetingly, and had a quick idea, immediately standing up and saying to the woman, ”Sister, how about I switch seats with you.”

The white sweater woman showed a hint of understanding, fleeting as it was.

”Well, that works too,”

she said.

Chiang Xiao immediately stood up with her blanket and moved to the back row.

She saw the white sweater woman sitting in her previous seat, engaging in conversation with the Bearded Man.

The soft voices of the beauty and the soothing tone of the man blended harmoniously, their discussion seemingly tranquil, as if his seat change had no cause for concern.

Yet, Chiang Xiao’s heart remained tense, unable to relax.

The position formerly occupied by the Bearded Man was by the aisle. By the window was a middle-aged couple, seemingly past forty, their heads leaning together asleep, oblivious to the person exchange beside them.
