Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 701: Chapter 702: There’s No Going with the Flow

He sighed deeply.

From meeting Chiang Xiaoxiao in April to the upcoming October, why did he feel that the past half-year had gone by so slowly?

When would she finally grow up?

Listening to his sigh, Chiang Xiao intuitively understood what he meant and instantly became clear-headed.

Right, she hadn’t grown up yet, so what was the hurry?

Even if love was to happen, it was a matter for the future.

”Brother Xinian, where will you be staying tonight?”

”Do you want to stay with me?” Meng Xinian asked.

”No,” Chiang Xiao immediately shook her head. What kind of joke was that? Her thoughts tonight were definitely a bit off, with a mature soul housed in her little body, she did not want to be too close to him late at night, otherwise, she couldn’t be sure if she would end up flirting back with him.

What if she flirted too much?

At this age, it’s better to take it easy.

Chiang Xiao tried hard to calm herself down.

”When I go back to the Capital, I usually stay at Chen Yin’s house. But these days Chen Yin is on a business trip, and only his mother is at home, which isn’t very convenient. So, I’m planning to stay at a guesthouse, and you won’t be able to stay with me either.”

Chiang Xiao looked at him, suddenly feeling very sorry for him.

Just like earlier in the hospital when she saw him surrounded and attacked by people from the Fong Family.

He was naturally domineering, but even in Capital City, he had too many scruples.

He had to be considerate of Old Meng.

He couldn’t just fight back against those people from the Fong Family and Gao Family without any regard, at least not immediately.

And what about his father?

It was heard that Meng Chaojun’s status was no lesser than Father Fong or Gao’s Father!

If his own father couldn’t protect him, what part of Capital City, aside from his grandfather, felt like home?

Even when he returned, he had a house but couldn’t return to it, a child raised in a large compound yet forced to live alone in a guesthouse.

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help asking, ”Brother Xinian, you also had some money with you at the time. If you didn’t like Capital City, why didn’t you consider buying your own house in City M? You could then settle down in City M for good.”

Why keep returning to Capital City, a place that hurt him so much?

Meng Xi’s gaze became vacant for a moment before he spoke, ”I like Capital City.”

Chiang Xiao was slightly startled.

He continued, ”This city is where my mother was born and grew up. When I was little, she would take me running around the entire city, and our figures were in many alleys and lanes, so I like Capital City.” He reached out and ruffled her hair, ”My affection for Capital City has never changed because of certain people; they’re not worth it, nor do they deserve it. Xiaoxiao, do you like City M? But after I get married, I still hope to settle down in Capital City. Of course, if you really don’t like Capital City, we could live in City M.”

Thinking so far ahead?

Chiang Xiao paused, then shook her head, ”No, I don’t have a preference for City M; I’m fine wherever.”

As long as it’s away from Peace Town, away from Siyang Village.

Going to Capital City is also fine. After all, those people will eventually come to Capital City.

Now, they weren’t in Capital City, but in a few years, they would all have to gather there.

Coming to Capital City was actually one of her plans.

”Really? You’re willing to settle down in Capital City with me?” Meng Xinian stared at her intently.

Chiang Xiao struggled to withstand his gaze.

What did he mean by settling down in Capital City with him?

”Let’s just let things take their natural course,” she said.

”Let nature take its course?” Meng Xinian raised an eyebrow, possessively saying, ”There’s no letting nature take its course. We’ll get married when you turn eighteen, there’s only this outcome.”
