Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2341: 2277: Compatibility Matters More Than Love

Kuang Yunxian asked, “Do you want to come inside and sit for a bit?”

Chiang Xiao took a quick look back. Since Luo Yongsheng and Ding Haijing hadn't arrived yet, she signaled for Guan Tiezhu to return first while she stepped into the Kong Family residence alone.

Because the property had been neglected for some time, an air of desolation hung over it.

However, the courtyard itself was lovely; with the right occupant to provide proper care, it would undoubtedly become a beautiful space.

As they sat on wooden chairs in the yard, Chiang Xiao glanced toward the boundary wall. She was surprised to see two rose branches from her own property already climbing over into this yard.

It was only then that she realized the roses she had planted when she first moved in were growing with such wild intensity.

Chiang Xiao pondered whether she should rein them in. Perhaps she should switch to ordinary water and stop using the Spiritual Spring Water for them.

If she didn't, her entire courtyard might end up buried under a mountain of rose blossoms.

While that wasn't necessarily a bad thing, such overwhelming beauty would be far too conspicuous. If her home turned into a local landmark for tourists, what would she do then?

She preferred a more low-profile existence, wishing for her living environment to remain understated.

“Xiao Chiang, in your opinion, are Jinruo and I a good match?”

Kuang Yunxian’s voice pulled Chiang Xiao back to reality, making her realize her mind had been wandering.

Once she processed his question, a smile touched her lips.

How should she answer that?

“Brother Kuang, matters of the heart are difficult for outsiders to judge. As long as you feel the compatibility is there, that is what matters most. Nothing is better than feeling it is right for yourself.”

“You’re right. Compatibility.”

Being compatible might actually hold more weight than simply liking someone. Liking a person doesn't always mean you can build a life together, but compatibility makes a lifelong journey possible.

Naturally, finding someone you both adore and are compatible with is the ultimate blessing—a perfect marriage made in heaven.

Kuang Yunxian let out a soft laugh as he surveyed the yard, his eyes also landing on the rose branches stretching over from Chiang Xiao’s side. “I intend to move back to the Capital City and make this house my permanent home.”

“That’s excellent news, Brother Kuang. Since you mentioned your connection with our principal, are you seriously planning to teach at our school later on?”

“Well, what’s your take on it? Do you think I’d be a good fit?”

“With a talent like yours, Brother Kuang, there’s no doubt you would be.”

“I’ll give it some more serious thought. If the renovations here end up being a nuisance to you, please don't hesitate to tell me.”

“It’s no trouble at all. I’m rarely home during the day anyway.”

“Would it be alright if I took a few rose cuttings from your garden later?”

“Of course. My roses are growing out of control, so you’re welcome to take cuttings whenever you like. They’ll sprout back in no time.”

Once those topics were settled, the conversation seemed to reach a natural end.

Just then, Chiang Xiao spotted Luo Yongsheng walking past the gate accompanied by a young man. Recognizing him as Ding Haijing, she rose to take her leave of Kuang Yunxian.

“Brother Kuang, I should get going now.”

She had only walked a few paces when Kuang Yunxian called out, “Xiao Chiang.”

When Chiang Xiao turned back, Kuang Yunxian offered a gentle smile. “If I truly do end up getting married, you and Xinian will attend the wedding, won’t you?”

“Certainly. If we receive an invitation, we will definitely be there.”

With a faint smile and a wave of her hand, Chiang Xiao departed.

Kuang Yunxian stood still for a moment after she left before turning to go into the living room. Du Jinruo immediately moved to assist him.

Just as she reached out, Kuang Yunxian took her hand in his.

“Jinruo, you caught the conversation between Xiao Chiang and me, didn’t you?”

“I wasn't trying to eavesdrop!” Du Jinruo replied reflexively.

“I actually hope you did hear; I don't mind at all if you were listening. I’m in my thirties now—to a girl like you, I suppose I’m practically an old man, right?”
