Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2490: Chapter 2426: A Pair of Fools

These past few days, Old Meng has been worried about Meng Chaojun’s illness and hasn’t been able to sleep well.

Now that Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian are here, he feels quite relaxed and suddenly believes he can get a good night’s sleep. As a result, while talking to Chiang Xiao, he leaned back on the sofa and actually started snoring.

Chiang Xiao watched him and sighed lightly.

When Meng Xinian came out and saw this scene, he quietly turned around to grab a blanket and gently covered him.

The two of them went out to the yard for a walk, not wanting to wake him.

”Brother Xinian, should you meet with the Alliance Officer and have a proper talk? I always feel uneasy about the deployment issue,” Chiang Xiao brought up the matter again.

Meng Xinian shook his head.

”If the Gao Family is indeed planning something in secret, I shouldn’t meet the Chief Alliance Officer at this time. Otherwise, it will be easy for them to hold it against me in the future. The Chief Alliance Officer knows what to do better than I do. Besides,” Meng Xinian put his arm around Chiang Xiao and said, ”Little, haven’t we already communicated about this?”

Their consensus was that as long as his name was on the list, he would go.

Chiang Xiao still felt uneasy.

If the three families of Long, Gao, and Lu were indeed setting a trap, insisting he goes, there could be danger at Ke Ku Li. Knowing this, should he still go?

”What if...”

”Little, you have to know,” Meng Xinian stood in front of her, gazing at her steadily, and said, ”If they really have the ability to add my name to the deployment list, that means, no matter what, it’s already an Alliance order. I can only obey the order. I can’t go around saying to whoever that this might be someone’s plot to deliberately send me there, and I won’t go because I can’t let their plot succeed.”

Chiang Xiao bit her lower lip.

”So, if they can arrange for me to go, it’s their capability. I can only obey orders, without any reason to resist, do you understand?”

She understood.

But she felt a pang of sorrow.

”Besides, even if I don’t go this time, someone else will go. And there will be others worrying; if they can go, so can I. I can even confidently tell you that although I don’t want to engage in personal heroism, if I go, I can do my utmost to ensure that at least the teammates around me survive.”

He’s not a hero, and he doesn’t want to be one.

However, he has gained so much from Chiang Xiaoxiao; the Spirit Spring Water has enhanced his physique, making all his reactions excel above ordinary people. Frankly, he’s now more capable than others.

So, if there’s danger, his going might truly save at least one or two lives.

With these thoughts, he feels that regardless of the reason he’s deployed, he shouldn’t decline.

Chiang Xiao looked at him, her eyes bright and shining.

”Everyone says Tyrant Meng has a rogue spirit, mischievous at heart, but why do I feel that you have great loyalty, bravery, and kindness?”

”Hahaha!” Meng Xinian couldn’t help but laugh heartily, lifting her high up, ”You silly girl, how can you be so silly?”

”Where am I silly? You’re the silly one.”

”Okay, okay, we’re both silly, a silly pair made for each other by heaven.”

”You be silly yourself.”

”No way, let’s be silly together, otherwise how will we match?”

The two are the type not to dwell on such matters for long.

Since a decision is made, things will naturally fall into place when they come to a head.

While fooling around, someone outside the gate coughed, ”Officer Meng is still in such a good mood?”
