Chapter 1670: Chapter 1672: No Explanation Possible
The next day, Cheng Cheng left.
Despite his worries about Ah Liu and Chiang Xiaoâs relationship, he had to return to the Alliance District.
Besides, he trusted Chiang Xiao.
Once he left, Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao, along with Ah Liu, got on the train to the Capital City.
The journey from here to the Capital City took a full two days and nights on the train.
The three of them were so strikingly attractive that many people approached them on the train. Men, women, young, and oldâit was a bit overwhelming.
Once they got off the train, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
During the train ride, Chiang Xiao shared everything she could with Ah Liu.
She talked about her family, about Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao, about Ge Dejunâs family, and also about her teachers.
She spoke about the tea pastries and tea she made, about her paintings, about the awards she won; Ah Liu was full of admiration.
Then he asked about the Meng Family, about how the two of them met, and when he learned they were childhood betrothed, he scrutinized Meng Xinian for a long time.
He even sighed and said to him that childhood engagements should have been discarded as relics of the old society. Why would a young Supervisor Guard still accept a childhood engagement?
Meng Xinian told him it was because he liked Chiang Xiao, because it was her, that he didnât refuse and was willing to get engaged.
Originally, he thought that by saying this, Ah Liu would feel gratified and appreciative. Well, of course, thatâs also the truth.
But contrary to expectation, when he heard this, Ah Liu seemed inexplicably puzzled.
âAt that time, Little was only thirteen,â Ah Liu just said this one line to him.
Then, the look in his eyes made Meng Xinianâs temples throb incessantly.
Heâs not a beast, heâs really not a beast.
How could he explain himself?
At that time, in his eyes, Chiang Xiao really didnât seem like a thirteen-year-old girl!
Truly!
In his view, she really wasnât an underage girl; he always forgot her age!
Moreover, at that time, he simply thought that having such an engagement there was fine, so that his family wouldnât arrange another match for him. It was merely for this reason, not because he wanted to pounce on Chiang Xiaoxiao at any moment.
He could guarantee that at that time, his feelings towards Chiang Xiaoxiao were truly pure.
However, these words, when spoken, seemed like no one was willing to believe them.
Not to mention anything else, why did he feel that Chiang Xiao didnât look like a thirteen-year-old girl? She was clearly thirteen!
This was something Meng Xinian didnât know how to explain.
It was just a kind of keen instinct he had.
So, others felt he was into a little girl, while only he knew he wasnât.
Cough cough, it was only after Chiang Xiaoxiao grew a bit older that he started having impure thoughts about her, though now his head is full of impure thoughts about her, but honestly, when she was little, he really didnât.
Unfortunately, he was destined to never have the chance to explain these things to anyone.
Even if explained, it would be of no use.
Previously Meng Xinian disdained explaining things to anyone, after all, outsiders didnât matter to him; their thoughts and opinions couldnât obstruct his and Chiang Xiaoxiaoâs marriage.
But now itâs different.
Now he has a father-in-law.
Meng Xinian always felt that more challenges might lie ahead in his future.
So, seeing Chiang Xiaoxiaoâs smiling face, he couldnât laugh.
Chiang Xiaoxiao was naturally happy. If they delayed getting married until she was twenty or twenty-three or twenty-four, of course, sheâd be happy, but he wasnât willing to wait.
No, he had to plan carefully and make sure to marry Chiang Xiaoxiao as scheduled.
