Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1130: Chapter 1131: You Don’t Owe Him

He reached out and tapped her nose.

”I’ve found the best little girl in the world.”

Chiang Xiao was stunned.

No, no.

She jumped up and threw herself at him, ”Meng Xinian, tell me the truth, what happened on your trip!”

Sweet nothings kept spilling out, and she could barely handle it anymore!

Meng Xinian, fearing she would bump into the grill, quickly embraced her and moved her away a bit.

”Be careful!” he slapped her bottom, ”There’s fire.”

Chiang Xiao was still nestled in his arms, looking up at him, she reached out to touch his clearly freshly shaved chin, and asked again, ”Quick, tell me.”

”This trip,” Meng Xinian laughed while holding her, ”I met two women.”

Chiang Xiao’s eyes widened, ”So, you learned those sweet nothings from them?”

Her heart suddenly felt a bit sour.

Even if there was nothing between him and other women, she was someone who got jealous even if he just joked around with other women.

Meng Xinian bent down and pecked her lips, laughing, ”Silly girl, I don’t joke around with other women. I keep a straight face.”

Chiang Xiao pouted, glaring at him.

”Want another kiss?”

Meng Xinian couldn’t resist at the sight of her like this and immediately leaned down to kiss her again.

Until a burnt smell entered their nostrils.

Chiang Xiao quickly pushed him away.

”The lamb leg is burnt!” She jumped up.

Meng Xinian quickly flipped the lamb leg over, ”It’s okay, it’s just a thin layer on the surface, slicing a bit off won’t affect it.”

”Focus on grilling!” Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but slap him.

Meng Xinian helplessly glanced at her, ”Don’t distract me.”

Chiang Xiao’s cheeks were still flushed, and his words heated her up again, so she immediately ran away.

Breeze, lake light, grass, a man, and meat grilled by the man himself.

And the man’s embrace.

Chiang Xiao leaned into Meng Xinian’s arms, munching on the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside lamb leg, her eyes almost squinting in contentment.

She felt that this was indeed the most comfortable day she had had in the last two or three months.

After filling her stomach, Meng Xinian meticulously cleaned her fingers one by one before they started discussing things they couldn’t forget or avoid.

”Meng Chaojun has a malignant tumor in his brain,” she said abruptly, without giving him any warning.

She was still leaning in his arms, so she clearly felt his body stiffen instantly.

Before she could continue talking, Meng Xinian’s voice came from above her head, ”Can you treat him?”

Now it was Chiang Xiao’s turn to stiffen a bit.

Meng Xinian’s arms tightly wrapped around her. His chin gently rested on her head, lightly brushing against her soft hair.

”Little, don’t be afraid.” Don’t be afraid that he knows too many of her secrets; now that he knew, how could he possibly hurt her?

He would hardly be able to protect her in time.

”You never thought about how to hide it from me, did you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have treated my wound back then.”

”...Yeah,” Chiang Xiao murmured softly.

Meng Xinian kissed her hair.

”What’s next? How have they bullied you? Tell me one thing at a time.”

Chiang Xiao was stunned, ”Aren’t you supposed to let me save your dad first?”

”Save him?” Meng Xinian murmured, ”I might find the best hospital and the best doctors for him, I could pay his medical bills, hire someone to take care of him, as these are my duties as a son, but, Little, this is not your responsibility. You don’t owe him that. Besides, I have no right to use our relationship to ask you to save him.”
