Chapter 164: Chapter 164

Meng Cheng’an glanced at the young man with a sunny appearance and decent looks, and asked his fiancée with a smile, "Do you know each other?"

Tian Xiang stared at their foreheads, Supporting Male 1 and Supporting Male 2, nice, here they are together.

She smiled gracefully and said, "Classmate from our class, I’ve seen him during the last exam."

Meng Cheng’an replied with an "Oh," and said, "Quite a coincidence."

After speaking, he extended his hand to Zhong Xuesong, "Hello, classmate. I’m Meng Cheng’an, Tian Xiang’s fiancé."

Zhong Xuesong felt his heart drop straight down and mechanically reached out to shake hands with Meng Cheng’an.

"He, hello, I’m Zhong Xuesong."

Meng Cheng’an: "Are you about to leave?"

Meng Cheng’an: "Alright, then. You go ahead, see you at school tomorrow."

"Oh, okay. I’m leaving."

So, see you at school tomorrow was just a polite expression.

Zhong Xuesong left extremely disappointed, his head hanging down.

Tian Xiang looked somewhat helplessly at Meng Cheng’an, who was clearly asserting his dominance.

Meng Cheng’an acted as if he didn’t understand her expression and smiled, "Didn’t you want to borrow a book? Let’s go in and take a look."

The two of them went inside, found the book Tian Xiang wanted, and borrowed it using Meng Cheng’an’s library card.

They stayed at the library until noon, then went outside to find a place to eat.

This time Tian Xiang tried something new, the local fried noodles with soybean paste.

The meat sauce was slightly sweet, and the taste was quite good.

While eating, Tian Xiang talked about running into Shen Yingqiu at the school gate in the morning.

"She even offered to buy me coffee, I said it tasted bad, then she suggested breakfast, I refused both."

Tian Xiang: "Has she been pestering you for a long time?"

Meng Cheng’an nodded, "Her husband was under investigation two months ago, things aren’t going well, she’s been trying to make connections."

Tian Xiang: "So that’s it."

No wonder the word ’selfish’ was written all over her forehead.

Meng Cheng’an: "Ignore her. If anything happens again, just tell me directly."

Meng Cheng’an took a sip of the soup provided by the restaurant and then said to Tian Xiang, "By the way, when we have dinner tonight, my dad will be there, along with that aunt and her daughter."

This time, the two aunts of the Meng Family weren’t present.

Meng Cheng’an and Tian Xiang were looking forward to the wedding preparations, so it was only right to bring her to meet the family. After all, they were officially registered as a married couple.

Meng Cheng’an: "I’ve only met her a few times, we don’t have a close relationship. It’s just a dinner, you can just go through the motions, if she gives you something, just accept it."

After dinner, they went outside to watch a movie, then took a car back to the Meng family home.

Tian Xiang took a nap for a while, then woke up, washed up, and changed clothes to prepare to go out for dinner.

While combing her hair in front of the mirror, she thought and decided against the previous big braid, instead tying half of her hair at the back and leaving the rest loose.

She noticed that many young girls around here styled their hair this way, the old big braid looked a bit outdated now.

Although she was pretty and looked good no matter what, she still needed to keep up with trends and make appropriate changes when necessary.

Tian Xiang went out and saw Meng Cheng’an staring at her, asking, "Does this look good?"

Meng Cheng’an seriously looked at her while holding her shoulders, then leaned in to kiss her.

After the kiss ended, Meng Cheng’an said, "Beautiful."

Tian Xiang: "By the way, when we meet your sister, should I buy something?"

Earlier after watching the movie, she was feeling dizzy, and she completely forgot about this.

Before coming over, Hu Honglian had advised her daughter to maintain proper etiquette without getting too familiar.

Meng Cheng’an: "Do you want to buy something?"

Tian Xiang: "Not that I want to, but rather I should."

Meng Cheng’an: "Then I’ll call Grandpa, he doesn’t need to come pick us up, we’ll go by ourselves and shop around first."

The two of them left early and went to a mall near the restaurant.

Due to the limited time, Tian Xiang didn’t pick much, she just bought a pair of little shoes.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Mr. Meng and Meng Xiuyuan’s family of three were already there.

The new daughter-in-law of the Meng family, Wei Xiaoman, was thirty-four years old, a full thirteen years younger than Meng Xiuyuan. Their workplaces were connected, it seemed like a case of feelings growing over time, who knows the real situation.

Wei Xiaoman was polite to Tian Xiang, gifting her a pair of golden bracelets. It was unclear whether she bought them or if Meng Xiuyuan did.

Fortunately, Tian Xiang had also bought something, even though it was just a pair of small shoes, at least there was a gift in exchange.

The evening meeting was overall okay, nothing major happened, everyone was a bit silent, and there wasn’t much conversation.

Towards the end, only the half-year-old child cried, and after the meal, everyone dispersed.

While waiting for the car downstairs, Wei Xiaoman said to Tian Xiang, "On future weekends, if you have time, come with Cheng’an to the family quarters near the Research Institute. It’s closer to your school, just two bus stops away."

Tian Xiang smiled, "Sure, I’ll let you know in advance."

She was also good at exchanging polite remarks.

Wei Xiaoman nodded, then took out a notebook, wrote down a phone number, and handed it to Tian Xiang, "Call home then, and I’ll prepare in advance."

Seems like she’s serious.

Tian Xiang accepted it, "Thank you, Auntie."

At this moment, the car for Mr. Meng arrived.

The three of them got into the car one after another and quickly left.

Watching the car drive away, Meng Xiuyuan said to Wei Xiaoman, "In the future, we should take the initiative to visit Xiangxiang at her school. The two of them have a good relationship, and Cheng’an listens to Xiangxiang."

Wei Xiaoman: "Alright, I understand."

Tian Xiang got up, had breakfast, repacked her luggage, and prepared to go to school to register.

As she was leaving, Mr. Meng grumbled, "Both of you choosing to live at school, not even thinking of keeping this old man company. This big house and yard, with just me living in it, feels cold and lonely, I don’t even feel like coming back."

Tian Xiang comforted him, saying she’d come back on weekends.

She hadn’t married Meng Cheng’an yet, so it was indeed not appropriate to live here.

Today, as Tian Xiang was heading to register, Mr. Meng postponed some work to personally accompany her.

The guard drove the car directly to the front gate, and as they were getting ready to leave, Chang Wan came over with a big bag of luggage to greet them.

"Brother Cheng’an, Grandpa Meng."

Tian Xiang turned to see it was that antagonist she met during the last exam, raising an eyebrow.

Not only did she live in the same compound as the Meng family, but she also became her classmate. She looked like she was there to register.

Sure enough, when Mr. Meng asked, Chang Wan said she was going to the Drama College.

So they were on the same path, Mr. Meng asked, "Your dad isn’t sending you?"

Chang Wan smiled and said, "He got a call as I was leaving, seemed like something came up."

Mr. Meng: "Then you..."

Living in the same compound and knowing both sides, the old man thought, might as well go together.

However, before he could say anything, Meng Cheng’an interrupted.

Mr. Meng opened his mouth, then smiled at Chang Wan, "Miss Chang, take your time, we’ll go ahead."
