Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2340: 2276: Turning It Into a Wedding House

Du Jinruo seemed to be waiting for her specifically at this spot, even employing the word “return” in her greeting.

Chiang Xiao wondered why she hadn't simply said "coming home."

That would have felt far more unsettling.

“What are you doing here?”

Chiang Xiao was genuinely startled to see her spending the entire day in Kuang Yunxian’s company.

Old He had given her a brief summary of the day's incidents, but Chiang Xiao, much like Gao Wei, had assumed Du Jinruo was merely playing around, using Yun Xian as a convenient shield because he happened to be present.

However, the current situation suggested otherwise.

“This is Yun Xian’s house.”

Du Jinruo was actually quite astonished by the existence of this residence herself.

She had originally assumed Kuang Yunxian possessed no property of his own within the Capital City, believing he only stayed with the Kong Family during his visits. She had worried that if they eventually married and she refused to relocate to City M, they would have to save up to purchase a home in the Capital City.

Or perhaps she would have to ask her own family for help?

Kuang Yunxian would surely lose face in such a scenario, wouldn't he?

To her surprise, Kuang Yunxian owned a house right here, and it was situated directly next door to Chiang Xiao’s...

It appeared the housing issue was already settled.

She had previously assumed this property belonged to the Kong Family, perhaps owned by Kuang Kanzhi or Kuang Huizhi.

Chiang Xiao’s eyebrows shot up when she heard Du Jinruo refer to Kuang Yunxian so familiarly as "Yun Xian."

Could they actually be serious about each other?

This turn of events was quite a shock.

Nonetheless, this was Kuang Yunxian’s private business. Despite her amazement, Chiang Xiao had no intention of interfering.

“So, were you waiting for me?” she asked, her brows still raised in curiosity.

Kuang Yunxian emerged from the house upon hearing her voice.

Seeing him wrapped in rather serious-looking bandages, Chiang Xiao moved closer.

“Brother Kuang, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, these are just surface wounds.” Kuang Yunxian felt a bit self-conscious appearing before Chiang Xiao in such a state, but he quickly composed himself. “I made sure to protect my vital areas when they attacked.”

“Brother Kuang, you should learn a few defensive moves when you have some spare time in the future.”

“You’re right. It would be best to ask Xinian to teach me a few techniques if the opportunity arises,” Kuang Yunxian remarked. “I don’t aim to be as proficient as you; I just want to be skilled enough to avoid being beaten so severely.”

Chiang Xiao let out a laugh.

That was certainly a modest goal.

However, the mention of Tyrant Meng caused her cheerful mood to dim slightly.

“Is Brother Kuang planning to move in here?”

Kuang Yunxian stole a glance at Du Jinruo before replying, “Not exactly. I’m just planning some basic renovations. It might serve as a wedding house later on.”

“A wedding house?” Chiang Xiao was momentarily stunned, her eyes instinctively flickering toward Du Jinruo.

Du Jinruo looked visibly shaken, stammering out, “Wed... wedding house? But aren’t you based in City M...”

She was still preoccupied with the thought that City M was far too distant from the Capital; if she truly wanted to be with him, the distance would likely be a major point of contention with her parents.

While her performance assignments occasionally took her to far-off places, those were merely temporary tasks, and she always came back.

If she were to actually marry into a life in City M, her mother would definitely forbid it.

Hearing Kuang Yunxian mention a wedding house now, did he imply what she thought he did?

Kuang Yunxian noted, “I actually have some ties with the dean of the art school, so a transfer back isn't out of the question. Does Jinruo want to stay in the Capital City?”

“I... I naturally wish to stay, but, but...”

But why was he directing such a question at her?

Du Jinruo felt her face flush hot like a fire. She hurriedly blurted out, “I’m still boiling water, I need to go check on it!” before spinning around and sprinting back inside.

Chiang Xiao watched her retreating figure before turning back.

“Is it Brother Kuang and Du Jinruo now?”
