Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 902: Chapter 903: I’m Under Your Control

Meeting his gaze, she paused briefly and then asked softly, ”You came back? Congratulations.”

Meng Xinian leaned in close, his hands propped on either side of her, as if enveloping her completely. ”Is there anything you want to ask me?”

Chiang Xiao blinked and nodded.

”Yeah, ask.”

”I heard you made Du Jinruo cry.”

Meng Xinian looked at her beautiful eyes, at her flawless face so near yet so perfect, and felt the urge to kiss and bite. Hearing her, his voice turned slightly hoarse. ”Was it Zhao Xin who told you that?”

”I’ve decided to send Zhao Xin some flower tea,” Chiang Xiao said, her lips curving slightly as she watched him.

Yes, Zhao Xin, such a good kid, always keeping an eye on him for her. Although a bit sluggish, but that was okay too.

”I want to whittle him down!” Meng Xinian reached out and pulled her up from the bed covers. ”But you should get up first, otherwise I might lose control here.”

What he couldn’t control, he didn’t elaborate, but he knew Chiang Xiao should understand. The girl only looked naive, but she was actually quite knowledgeable.

Chiang Xiao felt her face heat up and sat up.

Luckily, her pajamas were all very conservative and fully covered.

She sat cross-legged, pushed him away a bit, and looked at him seriously, ”Alright, start making your statement, and let’s see if Zhao Xin has wronged you.”

Meng Xinian found it hard to resist but managed to pinch her cheek as a way to satiate himself. ”Let me ask you first, Miss Chiang Xiaoxiao, if you really require me to explain my relationship with other young ladies, then it means you admit having a legitimate fiancée relationship with Miss Meng Xinian and the right to demand a proper explanation for our emotions. Do you agree with this statement?”

”I don’t understand,” Chiang Xiao blinked. ”Speak human.”

This isn’t human language?

Meng Xinian gently tapped her head. ”To put it simply, are you admitting that I’m under your charge?”

Uh...

There were many times when Chiang Xiao felt overwhelmed by his flirtations.

He was under her charge?

Chiang Xiao grew annoyed and glared at him, ”Are you going to talk or not?”

Meng Xinian reluctantly said, ”I’ll talk.”

He recounted everything Du Jinruo had said to him when she stopped him earlier that day.

Chiang Xiao paused for a while, ”So you still owe her a little white rabbit. Why do I feel like this kind of thing... is quite romantic?”

Meng Xinian had a frown on his face and instantly regretted the whole thing immensely.

”I should have taken a good look before I climbed over the wall that year!”

How could it be that such a small episode from his past had become a stain on his record?

Chiang Xiao gave him a side glance and said, ”No wonder Miss Xiao Du remembered you for so long. You say you gave her back the little rabbit, but she never received it, what’s that about?”

”How would I know?” Meng Xinian frowned, ”I did buy a white rabbit and sent it to her home, and I did give it to her. It seemed that it was one of her relatives who opened the door for me, and she was the one who took the rabbit inside.”

After returning the rabbit, he felt that he and the young lady were squared away, so naturally, he put the whole matter out of his mind.

Who would have thought that Du Jinruo would still remember it after all this time?

How could he have known what happened back then, that the rabbit never ended up in her hands?

”Zhao Xin started imagining things as soon as he saw me talking to her, I knew he would tell you some nonsense,” thought Meng Xinian, planning to give him a proper telling off when he got back.

Chiang Xiao snorted, ”What’s wrong with Zhao Xin? I think Miss Xiao Du does indeed like you very much, it’s rare for someone to remember you for so many years. By the way, how old is Miss Xiao Du? I think you and she...”
