Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2441: Chapter 2377: Lifelong Bachelor

Just as the chicken leg was about to hit his face, the man reached out and caught it, but at the same time couldn’t prevent Meng Xinian from kicking him. Unable to retract his foot in time, he fell on his butt onto the ground, still holding the chicken leg.

”I say, who is this girl to you? Why is she so fierce?”

He glanced at the chicken leg in his hand, his eyes flickering, and looked at Chiang Xiao again.

The force with which this chicken leg was thrown wasn’t small.

If it had really hit his face just now, it would have hurt for sure.

This girl is tough.

Just now, it was completely undetectable.

Moreover, given Meng Xinian’s personality, how could he allow himself to be interrupted during a spar?

But now, he glanced at Meng Xinian and found he was actually a bit sheepish.

”Little, I’m fine.”

”You say you’re fine and that makes it fine?” Chiang Xiao snorted, ”If that kick had really landed just now, see if you’d still say you’re fine!”

The man and Chen Yin both looked at Meng Xinian in surprise.

”You’re injured?”

”Xinian, injured?”

Meng Xinian, not used to letting others know about his injuries or being treated as an injured person, could only touch his nose, ”A small injury.”

Chiang Xiao rolled her eyes.

Small injury?

If it weren’t for the Spirit Spring Water and the Spatial Spirit Medicine, it probably would have already started bleeding again by now.

Moreover, she believed that even without the Spatial Spirit Medicine and Spring Water, Meng Xinian would likely still have fought with this guy.

Humph.

The man could tell from Chiang Xiao’s expression that it was definitely not the ”small injury” Meng Xinian was claiming.

”Wow, you managed to beat me while injured?”

Meng Xinian smirked and said nothing.

Both of them knew that the kick just now wouldn’t have hit him.

Meng Xinian was already prepared for defense.

Perhaps because Chiang Xiao’s combat experience wasn’t extensive, she couldn’t tell just by watching.

He reached out to the man, their hands gripped firmly together, and Meng Xinian gave a strong pull to lift him up.

”Let me introduce you,” he said, ”This is Zhu Shun. He was once a special forces soldier, now he’s...”

Zhu Shun continued, ”Now you probably don’t know? I do all kinds of work, transporting goods, running businesses, bodyguard work, protecting goods or people, I do a bit and then take a break.”

Surprised by what Zhu Shun was doing now, Meng Xinian glanced at him but said nothing more.

”This is my wife, Chiang Xiao. We’re getting married on August 27th this year. Can you come?”

Zhu Shun nudged Meng Xinian with his shoulder and whispered, ”Your wife is so beautiful, no wonder you fell for her. I thought you’d be single forever.”

Then he turned to Chiang Xiao and said, ”Hello, sister-in-law.”

Chiang Xiao pursed her lips.

This form of address was new to her.

Previously, all of Meng Xinian’s friends, comrades, and subordinates called her sister-in-law, including Chen Yin.

This is the first one to call her sister-in-law.

”What should I call you? Brother Zhu?”

”No, no, no, that sounds like Brother Pig, like pig meat’s pig!” Zhu Shun laughed again, ”If you don’t mind, just call me Brother Shun. You look young, right? Did Xinian trick you or something...”

”When have I ever tricked someone?” Meng Xinian’s face darkened, and he interrupted immediately.

If this carried on, it’d lead to talk about his age again.

The main thing now was that he was starting to feel old.

He’s already twenty-five.

Sigh.
