Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1124: Chapter 1125: Who Bullied You (For the Beautiful Princess Silly Tiger +1)

Old Meng suddenly turned around, just in time to see Meng Xinian striding in.

It had been nearly four years since he had last set foot in this home!

Now, seeing him walk through the door, Old Meng’s eyes instantly reddened.

”Xinian, you’ve come, come back?”

Meng Xinian grunted, glancing at Zhang Junyuan and Meng Baoyuan. He ignored them and slowly walked into the living room.

All the while, he treated Duan Qingqing standing to the side as if she were air.

It was then that Old Meng came to his senses and immediately shouted upstairs, ”Little! Little, come down quickly! Your Brother Xinian is back!”

He shouted so loudly that his voice cracked.

Chiang Xiao actually had a premonition when Meng Xinian entered and, hearing Old Meng’s shout, immediately turned and dashed downstairs.

Meng Xinian watched the girl he cared about sprinting down the stairs, his heart softened, then tensed again, and he quickly stepped forward, standing at the bottom of the stairs with his arms open, unable to help but say, ”Slow down!”

His girl plunged right into his arms.

The eyeballs of Old Meng and the others nearly popped out.

Did Chiang Xiao ever show her emotions so openly? She looked like a wronged child rushing into the embrace of an adult.

”What happened?” Meng Xinian steadied her in his arms, holding her close, his voice deep, ”Were you wronged?”

Even he had never seen her throw herself at him so passionately.

He inhaled deeply the faint fragrance of her body, feeling his whole being relax and settle.

Holding her, all the hardships and dangers of the past half-month seemed to dissipate.

Chiang Xiao clung to his neck, completely oblivious to the gazes of others.

Lifting her head within his embrace, she puffed her cheeks and, uncharacteristically, complained in a coquettish tone, ”If you hadn’t come back, I would have washed my hands of your family’s affairs!”

”Mmm, I’m back now. Who’s been bullying you?” Meng Xinian bowed his head, forehead against hers, and asked softly.

Chiang Xiao straightforwardly said, ”Meng Chaojun, Duan Qingqing! And the whole family of Boss Meng!”

Hearing the noise downstairs, Meng Chaojun, who was about to head down and standing on the stairs, ”...”

Holding a broom, standing at the edge of a pile of dirt, Duan Qingqing, ”...”

As the ’Second’ member of Boss Meng’s family, Meng Baoyuan and Zhang Junyuan, ”...”

Old Meng touched his nose.

Fortunately, she hadn’t complained about him.

Just as he thought this, he heard Meng Xinian ask, ”Isn’t there grandpa?”

Old Meng straightened his back.

Then he heard Chiang Xiao’s words.

”Grandpa, oh, there are too many people in Grandpa’s heart, I come last in line.”

Old Meng, ”...”

In that moment, he didn’t even know what to feel.

But indeed, he had not expected Chiang Xiao to be so aware and to voice it out in front of him.

For a moment, he felt a tightness in his chest.

If Chiang Xiao had not spoken those words, he would have unconsciously neglected her, still thinking that merely speaking a few words for her now and then was already treating her well. Just a second ago, that’s what he had thought.

Until Chiang Xiao said those words.

Had he really placed her at the end of his priorities?

Old Meng’s face felt hot.

Old Meng’s lips moved, but he couldn’t utter a word.

After Chiang Xiao spoke those words, Meng Xinian felt a pang in his heart, filled with pity and guilt, and hugged her tightly.

”Let’s go, I’ll take you out to eat first.”

He patted her back.

Chiang Xiao blinked, ”Where to eat?”

”To properly fatten you up, let’s have roasted whole lamb!”
