Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1366: Chapter 1367: Just Ask Her

The day they entered through that door, they triggered the mechanism behind it, and the door was tightly sealed shut.

At first, they tried to pry the door open, but after a few vigorous shakes while pulling at it, mud from above them began to collapse, and the door was completely blocked off.

It was precisely because the room’s ceiling was so dangerously prone to collapsing that they didn’t dare to use explosives. If they did, it would risk caving in the chamber and detonating the room full of explosives. They would be unable to escape and impossible to hide, leading them straight to a dead end.

But now, the steps outside the door were crystal clear, lacking the piles of dirt that they had imagined and hypothesized should be there.

Meng Xinian’s grip on Chiang Xiao’s hand involuntarily tightened.

He had always found questionable aspects about Chiang Xiao, but never, not once, had he felt as shocked and disbelieving as he did this time.

This completely surpassed his understanding.

He lowered his head to look at Chiang Xiao.

Again, he checked her hand carefully, noting several blisters on her palm.

In such a spot, they must’ve been caused by gripping something firmly and the resulting friction over time.

The iron door was pried open, and logically the tool used should be the cause of these blisters, but where was the tool?

These blisters ended up proving that, indeed, there must’ve been a tool for prying the door open.

At that time, Chiang Xiao was in a complete frenzy; after prying the door, she habitually threw the crowbar into the Space. She had developed this habit to avoid people discovering the crowbar later and asking where she got it from, as it was impossible for her to have brought a crowbar with her.

So after using it, she would toss it back into the Space, intending it as a way to cover her tracks.

But what Chiang Xiao never expected was that this cautious habit would be what exposed her.

And this was because she was dealing with Meng Xinian.

Meng Xinian was someone who remained cautious and meticulous to a terrifying degree in any situation. If he grasped a single inconsistency, he could unravel a thread and pull out all the doubts.

Now Meng Xinian had discovered one doubt after another, growing more incredulous and his expression increasingly solemn.

He held Chiang Xiao’s hand tightly and subconsciously wrapped her closer into his embrace.

After all, Chiang Xiao’s body was superior to an average person’s.

After half an hour of sleep, she regained her spirits and then realized she was being held tightly.

She suddenly opened her eyes and met Meng Xinian’s gazes.

His eyes were deep and inscrutable, intently watching her.

While his face, thinned by exhaustion, couldn’t instantly recover its fullness, his eyes nevertheless looked so captivating they could drown a person in their depths.

Only, there was something odd about his expression.

”Xinian...”

Chiang Xiao had just called out his name when he pressed down on her, his lips hastily covering hers, consuming her breath with a ferocity and dominance like never before.

This kiss surpassed any other in its fervor and wildness.

As Meng Xinian plundered her mouth with lips and tongue, he also lifted her whole body, pressing her tightly against himself, pressing her softness to his own.

Flames crackled and burst into the blaze, with both air and body temperature climbing steadily.

”Mmm... Brother Xinian...”

Chiang Xiao moaned unconsciously, her voice different from usual, enough to make her blush.

Meng Xinian’s body tensed, unable to control himself, he pressed her even closer to him, swallowing her breath and her sounds again.

If they had escaped from death, if they were already married, if she was already eighteen, he might truly have lost control and taken her here.

Finally, he summoned the utmost self-restraint to suppress his wandering thoughts and flames, his breathing heavy, he cradled her face and asked about his doubts.
