Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1234: Chapter 1235: Wanting to Know Everything

In that era, there was no way for anyone to dress too revealingly; Yu Chunyu was simply wearing clothing that fit a bit better, and was more brightly colored. She loved to dress up, she loved beauty—it was her right. Why then, when something went wrong, should the blame be pushed onto her?

Hu Xibing could tell she wasn’t very interested in the subject, so he lightly nudged his wife’s hand, signaling to her to drop it and instead, he began talking to Chiang Xiao about the Huali Tea Garden.

”Ye Guangqu has become quite famous now. I heard Uncle Huo say that there were some foreign guests who came to the tea garden looking for this tea, but unfortunately, this season’s Ye Guangqu has been completely reserved by regulars, and those foreign guests could only leave in disappointment.”

Chiang Xiao was somewhat surprised; she hadn’t heard about this.

Recently, her thoughts hadn’t been on tea; they had been consumed with thoughts of ancient tombs.

”Sister-in-law, if you have time, we could visit Uncle Huo’s tea garden again. I heard they’ve found a few new tea plants, and it’s just about the right time for tea picking.”

”I probably won’t have time these days.” Chiang Xiao shook her head, ”You go ahead.”

After Meng Xinian finished his phone call, he joined them for a couple cups of tea, then took Chiang Xiao with him to bid farewell to Hu Xibing and the rest.

As soon as they left, Hu Xibing and his company were about to close up shop.

While he was locking up, Sister-in-law Hu nudged him in the side and whispered, ”Hey, what do you think— if Commander Meng and Chiang Xiao got married, who would call the shots at home? Commander Meng strikes me as someone not easy to talk to.”

”That’s hard to say, Sister-in-law is also quite a decisive person.”

”Do you think, with them being so intimate, could it be that they’ve already...”

”Alright, alright, stop there. Why do you have to pry into everything?” Hu Xibing quickly scolded her. Was this the sort of thing to inquire about?

Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao didn’t expect Sister-in-law Hu to be such a gossip.

Back in Osmanthus Alley, as soon as they entered and bolted the courtyard door, Meng Xinian pulled her into his arms, and his burning lips fiercely pressed down on hers.

He had been thinking about her lips, waiting for a time and space when they could be alone. He had finally found his moment.

”Um...”

Before Chiang Xiao could get a word out, he had completely consumed her breath.

That night, Meng Xinian also slept in her room.

Although the bed in her room wasn’t big, he was willing to hold back his desires, content to sleep while holding her.

In the middle of the night, Chiang Xiao was so overwhelmed by the heat that she stealthily removed his arm from around her waist. But soon after sighing in relief, she was pulled back into his embrace.

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

”Hot?” Meng Xinian’s voice resonated deeply in her ear.

”Hot.”

It was the height of summer; she felt hot even sleeping alone, let alone being tightly held in his embrace. Could he please let her go?

”Am I that hot?” Meng Xinian’s voice sounded a bit husky.

Chiang Xiao refused to acknowledge what he was implying.

Big brother, if you’re so hot, why keep holding her to sleep?

Meng Xinian gently bit her earlobe and said, ”I don’t know why, but holding you as I sleep always makes me feel particularly at peace.”

Chiang Xiao did her best not to appear vexed, ”Can you hold me in the winter instead?”

”Have I ever told you that I used to have the same dream repeatedly?” Meng Xinian didn’t loosen his hold; instead, it seemed as if sleepiness had fled, making his voice clearer.

Chiang Xiao was taken aback.

”No.”

”Well, I’ll tell you now. I always had this dream where I got hurt, my leg was injured, and I was completely crippled, bound to a wheelchair and unable even to stand.”
