Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Test Your Skills
He genuinely found teasing her quite amusing, especially after having sat inside for so long, head down, reading a book—it actually seed like a good idea to let her jump around a bit to loosen up.
Chiang Xiao gave him a sidelong glance and stopped trying to grab the book.
ng Xinian felt a stir in his heart and asked, “Little, who did you learn your martial arts from? How about a friendly spar with ?”
Could her skills even be considered martial arts?
Still, ng Xinian’s challenge had sparked a few flas of eagerness in Chiang Xiao.
So far, her abilities had only been tested against country folks like Chiang Baohe and Ho Laidi, who knew nothing about martial arts, and at most, the man she encountered on the train, who also didn’t seem to have any real skill.
She was genuinely curious to find out whether the martial arts she practiced could triumph over soone like ng Xinian.
“It was an old man who once taught
how to recognize pressure points. I just use finesse, targeting the opponent’s pressure points to cause numbness and weakness in their limbs. I haven’t formally studied martial arts, though. My speed is fairly good now, and my grip is quite strong,” she admitted openly and then looked at ng Xinian with bright, sparkling eyes, clearly signaling that he shouldn’t ask who the old man was because even if he asked, she wasn’t going to tell.
Eyes that could talk—Chiang Xiaoxiao was precisely that kind of person.
ng Xinian was sowhat torn between laughter and tears as he couldn’t help but reach out again to ruffle her hair, “Okay, I won’t ask too much, but as I said before, when we get married, you’ll have to tell
yourself.”
Get married?
Why would she want to marry him?
He didn’t mind having a marriage based solely on responsibility, but she did.
Chiang Xiao, thinking about what he had said before, pulled a wry smile and replied, “Then you just wait.”
When the right ti ca, she would annul the marriage arrangent between them.
A marriage could end in divorce, so a betrothal could naturally be broken off too.
In this lifeti, she had no plans to marry—unless she really t a man who could make her head turn hot and willingly enter the marriage hall.
However, she was quite skeptical about eting such a man in this life.
“What would you like to eat?” ng Xinian, unaware of what she was thinking at the mont, felt an increasing urgency in his heart and wondered when she would finally grow up.
“Anything’s fine; I’ll treat you tonight.” Since he had paid at noon, it was naturally her turn in the evening.
“Silly, think I’d let you pay when you’re with ?” ng Xinian shook his head.
In the end, Chiang Xiao was unable to beat him to it. When it was ti to pay, she did take out her money, but the cashier at the restaurant, upon seeing ng Xinian’s heavy gaze, very consciously ignored the money Chiang Xiao had extended and took ng Xinian’s instead.
There wasn’t much to do at night, but after leaving the restaurant, they had to walk several hundred ters to get back to their hotel.
Along the way, ng Xinian walked silently beside Chiang Xiao, his handso face taut, lips tightly pressed, clearly holding back anger.
Chiang Xiao walked with her head down, kicking a small stone along the path.
When they reached a relatively open area, ng Xinian stopped, turned to face Chiang Xiao, and said, “Co on, let’s test your skills.”
The mont Chiang Xiao heard this, she was brimming with a combative spirit, “Bring it on!”
Afraid of you?
Upset that she insisted on paying for the al?
But that was perfectly normal, wasn’t it? They were partners, after all—everything should be reciprocal. She didn’t want to take advantage of him by always having him pay. Was that wrong?
