Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s-Chapter 469 Her First Time

It was only later that she found out that he was also doing it for Ye Wanqing.

The girl who held her paintings, won several major awards, and was hailed by the media as the most beautiful young Painter, not only captured Deng Qingjiang’s heart but had also firmly grasped her so-called boyfriend’s heart.

The memory was truly nauseating.

The man broke up with her when she no longer held any value to him, and even during the breakup, he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Chiang Xiao, do you know how boring you are? You never take care of yourself, just wearing that pretty face with no effort, your hair a messy mop, clothes never costing more than a hundred yuan, and even your shoes are twenty or thirty yuan from a street stall! From head to toe, there’s only one word that describes you, and that is ’cheap’! Look at Ye Wanqing, now she’s a goddess!"

Chiang Xiao sneered.

He surely didn’t know that the goddess in his eyes had actually been kept by his uncle long ago?

Deng Qingjiang was pampering that girl with the money he squeezed out of her, turning her into a goddess, while that girl made a name for herself and gained face using her words, becoming the goddess in her boyfriend’s heart!

Thinking of all this, Chiang Xiao’s face turned slightly pale.

Now, it felt like she was waking from a deep dream, barely able to believe how foolish she had been in her past life!

If Tyrant Meng knew of her past stupidity, who knows how much he would despise her.

However, thinking back on it, Chiang Xiao was extremely grateful that back then her entire heart had been set on painting, leaving her emotions a blank slate until she was twenty-five. Perhaps Deng Qingjiang had started to worry about her getting older and wanting to get married, fearing that she would find a man not as foolish as he and ruin their scheme, which was why he pushed out Chen Liting.

Chen Liting was handsome and tall, good at flattering girls, and indeed had put in a lot of effort to pursue her, but looking back, she might not have accepted him if it weren’t for his connection to Deng Qingjiang.

Even after becoming his girlfriend, their dates could be counted on one hand.

During those dates, he would speak his mind, while she was always lost in thought, and they never even held hands, let alone engaged in any intimate behavior.

Perhaps it was because their relationship was only nominal and lacked real couple behavior that Chen Liting grew more and more disappointed with her, eventually breaking up with her just at the hint of Ye Wanqing being willing to accept him.

Only after the breakup did Chiang Xiao realize that his pursuit of her was just a plot.

Chiang Xiao realized she was thinking too far ahead, but it was precisely because she contemplated her past foolishness and the mess that was her life—all of which were blemishes in her life that couldn’t be washed away—that she was even more shocked by the passion she had just felt, the closeness and trust she had just had for Meng Xinian.

This was something Chen Liting had never given her; with Chen Liting, at most she fulfilled what she thought a girlfriend’s care should be, such as asking if he had eaten, or telling him to put on an extra coat when it got cold, but she never thought of confiding anything to him.

Moreover, she never had such outwardly emotional moments in front of him.

This was truly a first for her.

For a moment, Chiang Xiao’s emotions were complex and in disarray.

Ever since she woke up from the high fever, she seldom thought of Chen Liting. One could say that after she and Chen Liting broke up and she realized that his heart belonged to Ye Wanqing, Chiang Xiao felt disgusted with him, wishing only to erase their relationship—how could he possibly still occupy a place in her heart?

Subconsciously, she believed she had never been in love.

She had once thought she wouldn’t feel passionate about a man, but just now with Meng Xinian, she had unexpectedly felt the fluttering excitement of a young girl?

Chiang Xiao looked at Meng Xinian and found that Meng Xinian was also looking at her.

Under the light, she found him even more impossibly handsome.

In that moment, Chen Liting’s figure had started to blur; her mind was filled with Meng Xinian, all him.

Chiang Xiao didn’t know whether she was developing feelings or not, but she felt that she shouldn’t be.

Not to mention the lessons from her past life were not enough, just consider how young she was now. What had Meng Xinian just said? She had clearly heard it.

He was only interested in her because there happened to be a relationship that could be utilized. For him, for her, this connection could just be temporarily used, although it was somewhat absurd.

"Little?" Meng Xinian saw her staring at him blankly, her expression suddenly changing and her gaze complex, leaving him also feeling a bit peculiar. He really wanted to know what she was thinking at that moment, "Chiang Xiao? What are you doing?"

What are you doing, what are you thinking?

Can’t you speak?

Just lifting your head and staring at him with big eyes like that, and with such a complex look, it’s really hard for him to guess.

Chiang Xiao didn’t snap out of it.

The memories of her past life had momentarily occupied all her thoughts.

"Hey, Chiang Xiaoxiao! Snap out of it!" Meng Xinian couldn’t help but reach out to knock on her head.

A thud.

Chiang Xiao suddenly came back to her senses, and for a moment, she felt somewhat disoriented, thinking he was scolding her and punishing her for her recent audacity, immediately feeling somewhat flustered and also feeling disdain for herself.

Having heard what he said earlier, she should have kept her distance from him!

That was what she had indeed thought before!

Why did she get so excited and forget herself after seeing that book?

"I..."

Meng Xinian looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

Chiang Xiao wanted to speak, then hesitated, suddenly wanting to ask him why he had to choose such a relationship with her. With his conditions, there must be plenty of girls of suitable age and quality for him, what could there be to talk about with a thirteen-year-old girl?

But meeting Meng Xinian’s bright black eyes, she found herself unable to say a single word.

This guy’s eyes were also extremely beautiful, dark and expressive, and when they looked at you like that, it was easy to get a little nervous. Such a gaze, she guessed, could easily make a girl misconstrue it as affection, right?

But he didn’t have peach blossom eyes either.

Seeing her zoning out again, Meng Xinian felt utterly defeated and knocked on her head again, saying helplessly, "Little, what’s gotten into you all of a sudden?"

She used to be quite lively and straightforward, so why had she suddenly become so conflicted?

And, why did her face suddenly turn pale?

He wanted to reach out to touch her forehead, but Chiang Xiao quickly stepped back to avoid it.

"The book you found is the one I wanted." She said.

Meng Xinian nodded, "I know, you said that as soon as you came in, it’s good if it’s useful." He was also happy to be of help to her. And seeing her so excited and delighted, it must be a big help, right?
