Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2996: Chapter 2932: What Reward

Originally, Jiang Xiao felt that investigating this matter would be very difficult, but after Zhu Shun said this, she suddenly thought he was right; it didn’t seem that hard.

”Alright, I won’t say thank you again, but I’ll treat Brother Shun to a good meal in the future.”

”Sure.”

”Oh, by the way, Brother Shun, we’re getting married on August 27th. See if you can come and celebrate with us.”

”If you reimburse my train ticket, I’ll definitely come,” Zhu Shun said and burst into laughter, then added, ”Just kidding, alright, I’m off to work now; take care.”

When Meng Xinian returned, Jiang Xiao was already in the study, fiddling with the small pile of stuff she had collected from the beach: shells, stones, and little conches.

On the drawing paper spread out in front of her, she had already painted a small conch. It looked so real that if it weren’t for the paintbrush placed on it, making him realize it’s flat and drawn, he would have thought it was another real conch.

Jiang Xiao’s artistry only improved, never regressed.

This might be why he loved her so much.

Clearly, with so many things happening, she seemed like she should be too busy to spare a moment, but she never gave up on painting, never gave up on learning and practicing.

She genuinely loves painting.

”Did you finish the call with Zhu Shun?”

”Yeah, finished,” Jiang Xiao said. ”Brother Shun is still as straightforward as ever. I mentioned helping, and he immediately agreed. I also invited him to our wedding banquet.”

”He’ll come, as long as he can get away,” Meng Xinian said. ”When you have time, make a list of things we need to purchase, and we can buy them in the next few days.”

”No rush, we still have two months.”

”It’s less than two months. I don’t have holidays every day, so we should prepare now while I’m available, so we won’t be flustered later.”

Whenever Meng Xinian thought of the wedding, he felt thrilled. ”Little, I’m telling you, take good care of your health.”

”Take care of my health?”

Jiang Xiao was taken aback; what does taking care of her health have to do with the wedding?

But once she saw Meng Xinian’s gaze, she understood instantly.

Rascal.

In the remaining days of his holiday, Meng Xinian did nothing but go out shopping with Jiang Xiao, nowhere else.

And holidays always pass quickly; it’s just like every time before—when Jiang Xiao felt she hadn’t spent enough time with him, they’d already come to an end.

In these few days, her health didn’t pose any issues, so when the holiday ended, Meng Xinian could return to Anbu Town with peace of mind.

Jiang Xiao, having been under his watch these few days, immediately met with Wang Yi at her tea house for tea as soon as he left, but before long, she was called back by Ding Haijing.

Even Wang Yi teased her, saying she basically lost all personal freedom now.

Meng Xinian had only been back in the camp for half a month when good news arrived—he received another promotion.

The day after his promotion, he returned to the courtyard, and as Jiang Xiao saw him in his impeccable uniform again, she couldn’t help but be enamored.

”Brother Xinian, congratulations!”

”What will you reward me with?” Meng Xinian pinched her cheek and, seeing her face with a healthy pink hue, felt relieved.

For this half month, he had been calling every day and also visiting her frequently.

Of course, aside from a few normal visits, there were times he used the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram to return at night, keep her company while she slept, and return to the Alliance early the next day.
