Chapter 1403 - 1403 1405 Clashing Again

Chapter 1403: Chapter 1405: Clashing Again Chapter 1403: Chapter 1405: Clashing Again Chiang Xiao immediately arched her brows.

“Hey, Meng Xinian! Let me tell you, if you ever send flowers to another woman for whatever reason, whatever broken gentleman’s etiquette there is, I will turn my face against you immediately, believe it or not?”

Meng Xinian immediately straightened his face, speaking with righteous indignation, “I just mentioned Chen Yin, I myself would never do such a thing.”

Why on earth would he send flowers to another woman?

First, there was no woman upon whom he wished to bestow flowers.

Second, he now didn’t even have the money to buy a single flower, as all his funds had gone into this house.

“Hmph, just be mindful yourself,” Chiang Xiao huffed.

Meng Xinian leaned in closer, whispering, “Though, I haven’t sent you flowers either… I don’t have the money to buy them now, do you despise me for that?”

Chiang Xiao burst into laughter.

“Silly you! Having given me this house, what do I need flowers for?”

She wasn’t foolish to desire the mere formality of flowers.

It seemed Meng Xinian had likely spent his last penny on her.

She patted his coat pocket, “How much money do you have on you now?”

“Fifty cents,” Meng Xinian answered frankly, stretching out a hand. “We won’t get our stipend for a few more days.”

This man…

Chiang Xiao immediately drew a stack of cash from her wallet and stuffed it into his pocket, “Take it.”

“Does this count as pocket money from my wife?” Meng Xinian raised an eyebrow and asked.

Chiang Xiao laughed.

“Do you mean that after we get married all of your income will go to me, then I’ll give you some pocket money to spend?”

“Mhm,” Meng Xinian nodded, “I’ll hand over the financial reins of our home to you, just give me a hundred bucks a month.”

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh again.

A hundred bucks…

Tyrant Meng sure had grand ambitions.

Did he have any idea how quickly a hundred bucks could vanish into thin air in the future!

“Don’t you feel like it’s a bit undignified?”

“Not at all.”

Just as Chiang Xiao was about to speak, Liu Guoying bellowed at her from the living room doorway, “Are you going to attend to your guests or not? What kind of host leaves their guests out in the cold while playing lovey-dovey?”

Chiang Xiao: “…Teacher, I wouldn’t mind if you and your wife also got all lovey-dovey in the living room! You aren’t single, what are you jealous for?”

“You little rascal, is that how you talk to a teacher?” Liu Guoying immediately bristled with eyes bulging out, “Let me tell you, starting tomorrow, I’ll have a lot more students, each with a talent for painting! You better be savvy, or I’ll bring home a bunch of junior brothers and sisters for you, and you’ll be the one crying!”

“All right, all right, with your temper, how many students can you recruit? And even if you do recruit some, how many can be as clever and adorable as me? With a student like me, you should just count your blessings instead of constantly carping.”

Cheng Qiulian helplessly shook her head at Meng Xinian.

Meng Xinian was a bit speechless too.

This teacher-student duo was at it again.

That very night, Chiang Xiao had no idea what had happened with Chen Yin and Wang Yi. The phone call she had made to Wang Yi was from a public phone booth outside; they hadn’t yet installed a telephone in their new home.

However, Meng Xinian had already told her that they were going to arrange for installation, making it easier to get in touch and for her to contact her grandparents.

But for now, there wasn’t the time.

The next morning, Meng Xinian returned to City M alone, while Chiang Xiao, after having breakfast, casually shouldered her backpack and strolled towards the art academy.
