Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1663: Chapter 1665: That Feeling of Being Stuck in the Heart

,

Ah Liu turned to look at Chiang Xiao, ”Did you promise him that yourself?”

Chiang Xiao stuck out her tongue and said, ”Actually, I think it’s okay to delay marriage for a few more years. After all, I’m only eighteen, so it’s better to wait until I’m at least twenty to get married.”

”Hmm, that’s true. In the past, girls got married young, but what’s good about early marriage? I actually think getting married at twenty-three or twenty-four is more appropriate.” Ah Liu glanced at Meng Xinian: ”Postponing the wedding is not a breach of promise.”

Meng Xinian’s face instantly darkened.

Twenty-three or twenty-four?

What a joke!

How many more years does he have to wait?

”I’ll be twenty-five by New Year’s, and if I wait for her to be twenty-three or twenty-four, I’ll be almost thirty.”

Ah Liu was surprised, ”You’re that much older than Little? Seven years? Then you’re a bit old.”

He looked at Meng Xinian with eyes full of disdain.

Meng Xinian felt a pang in his chest, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

He had finally waited for Chiang Xiao to come of age, and just when he thought they looked more suitable together in appearance, here comes another person disdaining him for being old!

He was twenty-four, wasn’t that the prime of his life? How can twenty-four be considered old?

Chiang Xiao looked at Meng Xinian’s face, so dark it was almost devoid of light, and laughed till she bent over.

Previously she thought Meng Xinian was a tyrant, always suppressing her, but now, a single sentence from Ah Liu could render him speechless, making her feel triumphant.

Meng Xinian looked at Chiang Xiaoxiao hiding behind Ah Liu, laughing to the point of tears, and felt a block in his chest.

He said lightly, ”Chiang Xiaoxiao, do you think this is funny?”

Chiang Xiao immediately covered her mouth, blinking her eyes.

No, absolutely not.

Meng Xinian was extremely upset, hmm, is it too unbecoming if he says he really wants to spank Chiang Xiaoxiao’s butt right now, and also wants to hold her in his arms and nibble her?

He suddenly doubted whether it was a good idea to bring Ah Liu to the Capital City!

”Let’s get on the bus first and talk later.” Cheng Cheng, having watched the scene for a long time with suppressed laughter, said, ”The bus is about to depart.”

The four boarded the bus, and since it was crowded inside, they all closed their eyes for rest, remaining silent throughout the journey.

Midway, Chiang Xiao opened her eyes to look at Ah Liu, only to find him quietly gazing out the window, absorbed in his thoughts. His side profile was calm and handsome, like a perfect silhouette.

She suddenly wanted to know everything about him.

His birth, his family, what he has been through, why someone wants to catch him, and why he ended up in such a situation.

She also wanted to know what he was like before he got injured in the head.

For someone as handsome as him, did he also have a childhood sweetheart among the noble ladies?

But more than anything, she wanted to know, after understanding their relationship, what his reactions and choices would be.

Once they arrived in town, they still had to stay at a guesthouse, and in the evening, they returned to the same noodle shop to dine.

After finishing the noodles, Cheng Cheng looked at Chiang Xiao and said, ”I’ll leave my godfather to you because I can’t follow you to the Capital City; I have to report back to the Alliance District.”

So, they would have to part ways tomorrow.

Chiang Xiao nodded.

”Little, remember what you promised me.”

Do not force him; let him remember naturally in his own time.

Chiang Xiao bit her lower lip and nodded again.

Ah Liu quietly had his meal, and after they finished speaking, he stood up, ”Ah Cheng, I’ll go get you some sesame cakes.”
