Chapter 1835: Total Annihilation
Chu Liang's wedding was quite simple. Since he had lived in M City for a few years and often helped Chiang Xiao sell pastries, he had made some friends. On the wedding day, they had just four tables at a restaurant in M City.
When He Jin learned that Chiang Xiao had returned to M City, he brought Wu Xiayue along to the wedding and gave Chu Liang a big red envelope.
Upon seeing Chiang Xiao, Wu Xiayue slightly lifted her chin and said, "Xiao Chiang, I won't let He Jin go to Country Y with you."
Chiang Xiao found herself in a dilemma at her words, almost laughing and crying simultaneously.
"I wouldn't dare either."
It wasn't that she was afraid of Wu Xiayue; she feared that a certain Tyrant Meng might get jealous.
Anyway, traveling abroad alone with another young man for ten days was not something she found appropriate, even if there was nothing going on.
"Are you afraid of me?" Wu Xiayue seemed a little thrilled, as if the idea of Chiang Xiao being scared of her gave her a sense of pride.
Hehe.
Wang Yi, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh, "Why would she be afraid of you? She's afraid her Great Officer Meng would get jealous."
This girl is really amusing, thinking that Chiang Xiao would be scared of her.
Wu Xiayue huffed with a bit of disappointment.
"Alright, I've already told you I won't go, so why are you still harping on about it?" He Jin said helplessly.
"I'm just worried; my man is so handsome. Who wouldn't like him?" Wu Xiayue winked at him playfully.
He Jin looked at her with some affection but scolded lightly, "You're just full of nonsense."
Wang Yi gently nudged Chiang Xiao and whispered, "I think they have a good relationship, don't you?"
"Yeah, they've been at it for twenty years now, and they never break up. I think Brother He just enjoys Wu Xiayue's antics."
Chiang Xiao also found it amusing.
It was obvious that He Jin was completely smitten by Wu Xiayue, yet she was always worried that someone would snatch He Jin away.
After some commotion, Wu Xiayue looked over and said to Chiang Xiao, "Xiao Chiang, you have to put your heart into painting once you're out there. You must come back with a first place; don't embarrass He Jin."
"Pfft. Speak properly, Wu Xiayue. You're making our relationship confusing. If I don't get good results, it'd be my teacher's reputation on the line, not Brother He's!"
Chiang Xiao stifled a laugh.
One moment, she was worried about her getting too close to He Jin, the next, she was acting like they were super close.
What does it mean not to embarrass He Jin?
Even if she embarrassed Tyrant Meng, it wouldn't have anything to do with He Jin.
Wu Xiayue widened her almond-shaped eyes, "How is that unrelated? It's He Jin who helped you register and recommended you to go, so of course it matters."
"Ah, I see. Alright, I will do my best." Chiang Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Wu Xiayue, since Brother He helped me so much, didn't you give him a hard time?"
Wu Xiayue looked puzzled, "Why would I make a fuss when he helped you? I think your work is really good, and it would be great to see you defeat those Country Y people."
Chiang Xiao and Wang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
He Jin sighed helplessly and said, "You have no idea, after your submissions were sent abroad, she kept urging me to check if the results were out. Not to mention, the international calls cost me a fortune."
Chiang Xiao pursed her lips, raised her soda, and said, "Come, Wu Xiayue, here's a toast to you."
Wu Xiayue pouted, "What? Just a soda? At least get me a box of Youqingwei..."
Soon, Chu Liang and the bride came out, but just as they were about to head to the center, someone rushed in from outside the hall.
