Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 960: Chapter 961: Why Explain

After speaking, Director Ye patted Meng Xinian on the shoulder with a trace of sympathy.

”Miss, come over here, let’s have a chat,” Director Ye said casually as he led Ji Chunlai away.

Chiang Xiao looked at Meng Xinian with a smile that was not quite a smile and extended her fair fingers to poke his arm.

”Officer Meng, I’m leaving first. You sort out things with her properly,” she said.

Chiang Xiao still held a lot of admiration for Du Jinruo.

Having the courage to pursue the man she liked, even in such terrible weather, was truly brave and honest.

After all, Du Jinruo might not have known that Meng Xinian was already engaged, so Chiang Xiao didn’t really despise her actions.

Of course, she had the right to pursue and love, and others had the right to refuse.

Chiang Xiao just wanted to avoid it to save her some face.

But Meng Xinian simply hooked his hand and pulled her to his side.

”Where do you think you’re going?”

”Can’t I leave to give you the time and space to clarify things with her?” Chiang Xiao rolled her eyes at him.

”I have nothing to do with her, we’re not related at all, so why should I explain?” Meng Xinian said irritably as he tapped her head, ”Stay here!”

It was preposterous. Someone was eyeing him covetously, and not only was she not keeping a closer eye, but she was also supposed to make space for them?

Du Jinruo had already approached them.

If she was somewhat unclear about the relationship between Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian before, after hearing a few sentences of their phone conversation, she had understood.

What kind of relationship would lead someone to say ”I want to be by your side” at that moment?

Still, she found it hard to believe. How could Meng Xinian—a man of such tough demeanor—fall for a young girl like Chiang Xiao?

Could it be that Chiang Xiao was clinging to him? And that he was merely too embarrassed to be cold to a child?

In any case, she felt that no matter how you looked at it, she was more suitable for Meng Xinian than Chiang Xiao! For his sake and for her own, she had to try harder!

Thus, after being sent to this shelter last night, she had been busy along with others, arranging things for the disaster victims, also waiting for Meng Xinian.

But when Meng Xinian was granted a two-day leave early this morning, he immediately went home with Chiang Xiao, missing Du Jinruo.

It was only now that Du Jinruo finally caught up with him.

Yet there he was with Chiang Xiao at his side again.

Du Jinruo witnessed the scene where Chiang Xiao was about to leave but Meng Xinian pulled her back and patted her head.

A tinge of sourness filled her heart.

She wished Meng Xinian would do the same to her.

But even after witnessing such a scene, she couldn’t bring herself to step back. Meng Xinian had grown into her heart, something she couldn’t possibly remove.

”Officer Meng! I was really worried about you yesterday. Are you alright?” Du Jinruo stood in front of them.

Looking at Meng Xinian from such a close distance made her heart swell with a painful love for his handsome features.

Chiang Xiao looked up at the sky outside, hmm, she couldn’t see the affectionate and radiant light of adoration in Du Jinruo’s eyes.

”Thank you!” Meng Xinian always carried a cold demeanor in front of others, his tone of gratitude was even laced with a frosty chill. ”Miss Du, have you figured out the issue with the rabbit from back then?”

He asked this question to let Chiang Xiao hear that his negligible relationship with Du Jinruo, which barely qualified as a relationship, had indeed been settled.
