Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1141: Chapter 1142: Selling You Off

Moreover, Meng Xinian had definitely calculated everything in advance. He couldn’t possibly accept this thing for real and then use it to capture everyone at once, as indicated.

The implications were too significant.

People related to those three families, whether directly connected or not, would panic. It was uncertain what actions they might take then.

He couldn’t disrupt this balance all at once.

Meng Xinian probably knew this, which is why in the end, he requested to move only a few pieces.

That kid could indeed be very cunning at times.

Even he couldn’t figure out how the situation would change after those few pieces were moved.

And Meng Xinian’s chess move was risky.

Although he admired Meng Xinian greatly, and his wife treated him like their own child, in the end, it wasn’t the reality. Even if it were his own son, he wouldn’t easily allow interference in the affairs of state.

Therefore, it was very likely that this submission could infuriate him.

But Meng Xinian submitted it anyway.

”Which places do you want to move?” He fell silent for a while and then asked in a low voice.

Jiang Yingqiong felt a slight relief in her heart. Knowing her husband would surely ask this question meant he had agreed to Meng Xinian’s request. She had been genuinely worried he would get angry.

Seeing they were about to discuss these matters, she stood up and walked away.

After leaving the Li Family residence, Meng Xinian went straight to Jingfu Middle School to wait for Chiang Xiao to finish school.

When Chiang Xiao came out of the school gates and saw him, her eyes lit up, and she walked over, gesturing with her mouth, ”You walk in front, I’ll follow you.”

Meng Xinian was somewhat puzzled but still did as she said.

The tall young Supervisor Guard Officer walked ahead, while the petite girl followed behind him.

With his long legs and large strides, she had to hop and jump to follow his footsteps.

Since there were too many students around, she couldn’t be overly intimate with him, but being so happy to see him, she impulsively decided to express her inner joy and closeness to him in this way.

She kept her head down, watching his footsteps, and followed him that way. As they walked, Meng Xinian suddenly stopped, turned around, and she bumped right into his arms.

”Ouch.” Chiang Xiao covered her forehead, looking up at him, ”Why did you stop walking?”

Meng Xinian suddenly lifted her up and kissed her on the lips.

He had been thinking about her ever since he was at President Li’s, wanting to hold her, kiss her.

”Meng Xinian, are you crazy? If someone sees us, you could be reported for hooliganism!”

”Where is everyone?”

Meng Xinian chuckled softly.

Chiang Xiao looked around and realized that at some point, they had strayed off the main path into a grove of trees, with no one else around.

”Eh? How did we get here?” Chiang Xiao asked, somewhat dazed and confused.

Meng Xinian laughed, ”Ha ha, silly girl, you just followed me with your head down, not watching where you were going. What if I took you and sold you off?”

”Who could afford me?” Chiang Xiao hit his shoulder playfully.

”I could,” Meng Xinian declared. ”A person in exchange for a person, a heart for a heart, do you agree?”

Chiang Xiao pursed her lips and smiled.

”Are you implying we are of equal value?”

”Hmm, you’re great, but you only match me, so I’m also great,” Meng Xinian stated without batting an eye.

Chiang Xiao pinched his ear.

The two of them ate dinner outside before going home, and upon returning, they found out that Meng Chaojun had been hospitalized again.

”Stay at home, take a bath and go to sleep first. I’ll go to the hospital to fulfill my son’s duties,” Meng Xinian said, leading her by hand straight to her room, kissing her forehead, ”Remember, just concentrate on school, and don’t worry about anything else.”
