Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 963: Chapter 964 Once Foolish

Meng Xinian looked steadily at her.

Chiang Xiao suddenly remembered a phrase that had circulated on the internet in a later era.

”I dream of my boyfriend’s mother giving me ten million and saying to me, ’Please leave my son!’ Then, I would definitely say, ’Okay, Auntie!’”

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but laugh, looking at Meng Xinian, ”So, is there any chance that your father might give me a large sum of money to have me leave you?”

Meng Xinian, the ”ancient man,” couldn’t keep up with her train of thought and his face darkened immediately. Why was she thinking about money at a time like this?

”If he offers you money to leave me, are you really considering agreeing to it?” he asked through gritted teeth.

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but find amusement in his reaction.

”Do you think I’m stupid?” she asked him, her eyes brimming with light, ”How much money do you think someone would have to give me to make me give up a fiancé who hasn’t married me yet but has already given me half of his property, and moreover, is unbeatably handsome, invincible throughout the Alliance District, and has two-meter-long legs?”

Hearing this, Meng Xinian first tried to maintain a stern face but ultimately couldn’t help but smile by the end.

His lips curled upward, ”Hmm?”

This man obviously hadn’t heard enough yet.

Chiang Xiao sighed and continued, ”Someone as amazing as my fiancé doesn’t need to rely on his family, all I need to do is hold tightly onto his thigh, so why should I care about others?”

”And then?”

”He would give me gifts, he would give me red envelopes, he can give me everything, so why would I want other people’s gifts and red envelopes?” Chiang Xiao continued to look at him, blinked, and said, ”You see, I’m not stupid, right?”

Meng Xinian suddenly felt all the stuffiness in his chest dissipate.

He adored the little pride in her expression more and more as he looked at her, unable to resist tousling her hair, ”Right, not stupid at all! You’re the smartest little girl!”

His Kitten, his little girl, no one could compare!

Chiang Xiao lifted her chin, ”Of course! After all, I’ve been foolish before...”

”Hmm?”

Meng Xinian felt perplexed hearing this, but Chiang Xiao quickly changed the subject, ”Besides, I’m not short of money, Xinian. I have my advantages too. I don’t need anyone to validate my worth, nor do I need a certificate of eligibility to tell me if I qualify to be with you. I am me, you are you, it’s our business, our lives, and it’s up to us to decide, isn’t it?”

Meng Xinian looked at her intently, at a loss for words.

”What should I do if I want to kiss you?”

Chiang Xiao was instantly covered in metaphorical black lines.

She was speaking such meaningful words, couldn’t he have a bit more decorum?

How could he think of that now!

That’s too much!

But what she said was, ”Only at night!”

Meng Xinian was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Chiang Xiao’s face turned red.

She didn’t mean it that way!

She was just afraid he would seriously consider a kiss in broad daylight, in public...

How did it turn out to sound as if she were inviting him to continue last night’s passion when she said it?

Zhao Xin woke up and glanced out of the window.

The glass was still covered with many raindrops, but the sky outside was indeed clear.

He could feel his chest wrapped up tightly and the memory of that life-and-death rainy night flashed through his mind.

Back then, he truly felt as if his chest was being torn open, as the saying ’ripped open and gutted’ suits his wounds. Later, he thought he was undoubtedly going to die, he even felt the cold grasp of death.
