Chapter 1480: Chapter 1482: Emotional Intelligence Too Low Chapter 1480: Chapter 1482: Emotional Intelligence Too Low Upon hearing Chiang Xiaoâs words, Kuang Yunxianâs tea brewing movements came to a halt.
Chiang Xiao watched him with clear and trusting eyes.
It made one feel that to deceive her would be an utterly heinous crime.
Kuang Yunxian continued the motion of brewing tea, set the teapot down, brought the teacup to her, and placed it in front of her, then casually said, âWhat if I told you Iâve been feeling somewhat lonely in City M, would you believe me?â
âAh?â
Chiang Xiao was stunned.
After all, Kuang Yunxian had always been in City M, and there, he had work, colleaguesâŠ
Friends, she really hadnât heard him mention having any friends.
Although he was part of the G Province Painters Association, it seemed he was only relatively close with Chairman Zheng Yucheng. During the New Year, he also stayed at her home for most of the day, mentioning that if he went back, he would just be alone in the school dormitory.
Could it be that he truly felt lonely and isolated in City M?
After all, Kuang Yunxian was born and raised in Capital City, and all his family was there.
âDoes Brother Kuang want to move back to Capital City?â
âMhm, I have considered it.â Kuang Yunxian gave her another look, then lowered his gaze and said, âIf I want to move back to Capital City, I obviously canât stay at my uncleâs place again. Plus, I think being neighbors with you⊠would be nice.â
Chiang Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Compared to the tea she made herself, this tea seemed of much lower quality, tasting poor and lacking in aftertaste.
Being neighbors with them would be nice?
Chiang Xiao was naturally a girl with not so great emotional intelligence. In her past life, she had absolutely no feelings for Chen Liting and was only with him because she didnât know how to refuse Chen Kaijin. If it wasnât for Meng Xinianâs decisive, swift, and precise actions in this life, she would probably still be naively thinking that they were only acting as fiancĂ©s because of a childhood engagement, pondering over how to handle their marriage arrangement when Meng Xinian would meet someone he likes.
So although there were the things Kuang Kanzhi said, and Kuang Qingqingâs jealousy towards her, she didnât believe that Kuang Yunxian truly had any special feelings for her.
After all, the age difference between them was quite apparent. If not for Tyrant Mengâs involvement, she could easily be calling Kuang Yunxian âuncleâ.
Initially, she did feel a bit old-fashioned, but after dealing with Tyrant Meng, he made her act more and more childish. Looking at Kuang Yunxian, she no longer felt as if he was a peer like she did when they first met.
Chiang Xiao thought that Kuang Yunxian probably saw her as a younger sister, right?
Her silence was because she found Kuang Yunxianâs reasoning not very convincing.
Kuang Yunxian, seeing her reaction, couldnât help but smile and said, âSpeaking of which, itâs also for your and Xinianâs benefit. Do you know what kind of temperament my auntâs family has? If they become your neighbors, I reckon you would have no peace.â
âAh? I donât know them. Could they really cause trouble at my place?â
âMy aunt has four kids. Boss and Second are married and they have children. Moreover, they all live together, making a racket every day,â Kuang Yunxian spoke with a calm expression, âThen thereâs Laosan, you canât imagine what kind of guy he is. If he sees you, who knows what trouble he might stir up.â
Chiang Xiao blurted out in astonishment, âIs he a lecher?â
âCough cough.â Kuang Yunxian began to cough.
Although it was true, hearing the young girl say it so bluntly made him feel quite embarrassed.
