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

Du Jinruo seemed to be lingering there specifically for her, even employing the word "return" to describe their arrival.

Chiang Xiao found it unsettling; why hadn't she simply said "coming home" instead?

That phrasing would have been even more bizarre.

“What brings you here?”

Furthermore, Chiang Xiao was quite astonished to find her spending the entire day in Kuang Yunxian’s company.

While Old He had given her a vague summary of the day's incidents, 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 place belongs to Yun Xian.”

Regarding this residence, Du Jinruo was actually quite startled 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 wed and she refused to relocate to City M, they would have to scrape together savings to buy a home in the Capital.

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

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

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

It appeared the housing issue was already resolved.

She had previously assumed this property was also part of the Kong Family’s holdings, perhaps belonging to Kuang Kanzhi or Kuang Huizhi.

Hearing Du Jinruo refer to Kuang Yunxian so familiarly as "Yun Xian" caused Chiang Xiao to lift an eyebrow.

Could they actually be serious about one another?

This turn of events was truly unexpected.

Nonetheless, since this was Kuang Yunxian’s private business, Chiang Xiao had no intention of interfering, regardless of her shock.

“So, were you waiting for me?” she inquired, her brows arched.

At the sound of her voice, Kuang Yunxian emerged from the house.

Noticing the extensive bandages covering him, Chiang Xiao moved closer.

“Brother Kuang, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, these are merely surface wounds.” Kuang Yunxian felt a wave of embarrassment appearing before Chiang Xiao in such a state, though he soon composed himself. “I made sure to protect my vital organs while they were attacking me.”

“Brother Kuang, perhaps you should study some martial arts moves when you have the chance.”

“You have a point. It would be ideal to have Xinian teach me a few techniques when there is time,” Kuang Yunxian remarked. “I don't aim to be as formidable as you; I just want to be skilled enough to avoid such a severe beating.”

Chiang Xiao let out a laugh.

That was certainly a modest ambition.

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

“Does Brother Kuang intend to move in here?”

Kuang Yunxian cast a glance toward Du Jinruo before answering, “Not exactly. I’m just planning some basic renovations. It might serve as a wedding house in the future.”

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

Du Jinruo looked visibly shaken, stammering out, “A-a 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 intended to be with him, that distance would likely become a point of contention with her parents.

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

If she actually married into a life in City M, her mother would never give her consent.

Now that Kuang Yunxian was mentioning a wedding house here, did he mean what she thought he meant?

Kuang Yunxian explained, “I actually have some ties with the dean of the art academy, so transferring back isn't out of the question. Does Jinruo prefer to remain in the Capital City?”

“I... of course I want to stay, but, but...”

Why was he directing such a question at her?

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

Chiang Xiao watched her retreat before looking back at him.

“Brother Kuang and Du Jinruo?”
