Chapter 1019: Chapter 1020: Skin is Getting Thicker and Thicker

Meng Xinian kept his composure, "So you’d rather sit on a train for hours with the boys than ride in my car?"

Chiang Xiao: "..."

Please, that’s not how you calculate this, right?

However, she found herself momentarily at a loss for words.

"I will ask the teacher tomorrow to see if I can go alone," she said, quite helplessly.

The next day, upon asking Liu Guoying, the look he gave her made Chiang Xiao’s face feel hot and guilty.

"You don’t want to go with your teachers and classmates, you want to go alone? Aren’t you afraid of the dangers? The school probably won’t agree, as they have to be responsible for your safety," he said.

"I’m not afraid, teacher; I go around alone all the time, and besides, my martial arts are good," she said.

"Come on, you say your martial arts are good? I’d believe it if you said Officer Meng’s martial arts are good," he replied.

Chiang Xiao instantly objected, "He’s my Boxing Technique master! I am indeed the case of ’the student surpasses the master’!"

The moment she finished speaking, a cough came from the doorway.

The teacher and student both turned their heads to look, and saw Meng Xinian stepping through the door.

"Teacher Liu, hello. I’m here to pick up Little after school," Meng Xinian said with all seriousness, resembling a stern parent.

There were other teachers in the office, and they were all somewhat surprised to see him.

Such a tall and handsome young man, they rarely saw such a figure.

"Is Officer Meng also in Huaming County?" Upon seeing him, Liu Guoying somewhat understood that this man, the fiancé, definitely wanted to offer a ride.

"Yes, just arrived yesterday, and I’m leaving tomorrow. I can take Little part of the way. Please inform the school," he said.

Meng Xinian had come to pick her up after school because he was worried that Chiang Xiao might not have been able to persuade the school teachers.

He didn’t expect to arrive just in time to hear this girl boasting about being ’the student surpasses the master,’ making his face grow thicker.

He looked at Chiang Xiao with a half-smile.

Chiang Xiao stuck out her tongue.

"Since Officer Meng is here, there should be no problem. I’ll speak to the teacher in charge of them," said Liu Guoying.

"Thank you, Teacher Liu. We’ll be leaving then," said Meng Xinian.

After they left, a teacher couldn’t help but ask, "Teacher Liu, that man works as a Supervisor Guard, right?"

"Yes."

"What is he to Chiang Xiao? I’ve never seen anyone from Chiang Xiao’s family picking her up from school before."

Um...

Liu Guoying suddenly fell silent.

What could he say?

Who was Meng Xinian to Chiang Xiao?

He couldn’t possibly tell them he was Chiang Xiao’s fiancé.

Although he and Fu Mingfeng knew about the engagement, they still felt it shouldn’t be widely publicized, as it could have an impact on the school’s atmosphere.

After all, how many students could be like Chiang Xiao, engaged at such a young age but still consistently ranking first in her studies?

As soon as Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao stepped out, he reached over and tapped her on the head, "The student surpasses the master? Qing’er, when will you spar against me?"

"Pfft."

Qing’er... me...

Chiang Xiao chuckled twice, dodging the question.

When they set off at the weekend, Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao loaded quite a few items into the car.

"Grandpa, Grandma, do you think Brother Xinian is just driving me directly to the Capital? With so many things, it’s not easy for me to carry them alone!"

Chiang Xiao was somewhat speechless.

Hearing this, Meng Xinian felt a bit guilty.

He couldn’t just leave freely, otherwise, he would have personally escorted her to the Capital.

As her fiancé, he felt he had indeed neglected his duties.

"This time you are going to the Capital for a whole month," Chiang Songhai pulled Chiang Xiao aside and spoke in a low voice, "With your status, it’s better to take the initiative to visit Xinian’s parents at the Nian Family’s home. Otherwise, they might say you lack etiquette. If you’re shy about going alone, find Grandpa Meng first to take you back with him. When visiting for the first time, it’s always good to bring more gifts; no one dislikes receiving gifts."
