Chapter 1177: Chapter 1178: No Gentlemanly Manners
Chiang Xiao hadn’t felt anything amiss, but ng Xinian’s face had already turned cold.
“Student Cai, your job is archaeological research. The safety of the ancient tomb and the qualification review of those who enter and exit are within my scope of work. I hope you don’t overstep,” he said.
Hearing what he said, Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Although she had also discerned Student Cai’s implication, she didn’t take this barely veiled challenge to heart at all. In contrast, ng Xinian couldn’t tolerate it in the least, instantly giving a rciless retort.
She found ng Xinian’s protectiveness very heartwarming. In his eyes, anyone who was impolite to Chiang Xiao, whether a man or a woman, wouldn’t receive a shred of courtesy.
Gentlemanly grace?
Sorry, none.
Student Cai’s face turned red, and with so confusion, he tried to explain, “Officer ng, I didn’t an to interfere with your work, it’s just… it’s just that I was curious about this young lady’s identity…”
“Chiang Xiao is a mber of the G Province Painters Association. So murals here require the artistry of skilled painters for replication, and she and her teacher are in charge of this task. She’s not here to play,” ng Xinian said.
ng Xinian was exceedingly serious, his tone strictly professional, without a hint of warmth.
Student Cai was even more defeated.
“She, she is a painter…” Student Cai’s embarrassnt mingled with surprise.
“Hello, I’m Xiao Chiang,” Chiang Xiao said, extending her hand to her.
Only then did Student Cai realize the young lady she thought was behaving so composedly and graciously was nothing like a little girl. She looked at her own hand, sared with a bit of dirt, and suddenly felt a twinge of annoyance, yet still extended her hand.
“Hello! I’m Student Cai!”
Let’s see if she finds my hand too dirty!
In any case, if she really showed disdain, such behavior would seem sowhat unsightly, wouldn’t it?
But without any hesitation, Chiang Xiao reached out and shook hands with her.
Then Student Cai could clearly see that so dust had adhered to Chiang Xiao’s hand.
Before she could even nurse her feelings, Chiang Xiao extended her hand toward ng Xinian and, with a slightly coquettish tone, said, “Help
clean my hand.”
Without changing his expression, Officer ng took her hand and rubbed it against his chest twice.
“I don’t have a tissue; just wipe it for now. I’ll wash your hair later,” he said.
Saying that, he continued to head outside with her.
Feeling a warmth welling up in her eyes, Student Cai watched their retreating figures for quite a while before taking a deep breath to suppress the unwillingness and jealousy in her heart.
If it wasn’t hers, it ultimately wasn’t.
She couldn’t bring herself to snatch soone else’s partner, but it was only because she truly liked ng Xi so much that she had felt that montary unwillingness and lost control, resulting in her earlier actions.
Thinking about it now, Student Cai found her own behavior repugnant.
She had assud Chiang Xiao was just another pretty face and hadn’t expected soone so young to already be a mber of the Painters Association.
Chiang Xiao and ng Xinian left the ancient tomb, she hoisting her own backpack, waiting for ng Xinian to speak with Dai Gang about work.
Thinking back to the incident, she couldn’t help but watch ng Xinian, who was talking to Dai Gang.
Three years had passed, making Xinian appear even more masculine, exuding a virile and powerful aura. His tall, erect stature and handso, distinct features made him stand out impressively.
In the future, who knows how many romances this guy might attract.
Chiang Xiao found the thought exhausting.
Yet, the idea of giving up on this man because of that? Implausible.
