Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1276: Chapter 1277: Running with You for a Day

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but let out a snort of laughter.

Throw someone out by picking them up?

Imagining that scene, she really thought that Meng Xinian had it in him to do such a thing, and she couldn’t help but laugh uncontrollably.

”That’s because you haven’t seen Nian Mutong, do you know how beautiful she is? She’s even prettier than Du Jinruo by a fraction.”

Meng Xinian looked at her, reached out to touch her face, and pinched the tip of her nose, ”Could there be someone prettier than you? As for Comrade Du, I’ve even forgotten what she looks like.”

He was telling the truth, not because love is blind, but because Chiang Xiao was indeed extremely beautiful.

Especially in the past six months, as she matured, she became even more stunning and impressive.

”When did Officer Meng become such a smooth talker?” Chiang Xiao glanced at him sideways and said, ”Luckily you came now. If you had been even four hours later, I would have already left.”

If he hadn’t come, hadn’t said all these things, she would have gone out sketching with Xu Yiqiu and the others, and would surely have been seething the whole time.

Now that he had rushed over, especially at this time, it showed that he had come immediately after receiving the call that day, and thinking about this, the resentment in her heart dissipated.

Meng Xinian was taken aback, ”Leaving? Are you planning to return to City M, or go back to Peace Town?”

”Neither, I’m going on a sketching trip. I’ll be with Xu Yiqiu and a group of more than ten people, going for half a month, oh right, Chen Yin will also go.”

Meng Xinian pulled her back to the bed, holding her in his arms, and asked with some puzzlement, ”Chen Yin is going sketching with you?”

When this topic came up, Chiang Xiao felt annoyed again, pinched his waist, and said irritably, ”It’s not like Chen Yin is following me, I don’t have that much charm.”

Hearing this, Meng Xinian felt something was off.

”Hmm?”

”Chen Yin is going after someone praised him for hitting three birds with one stone,” Chiang Xiao paused after saying this, feeling that she hadn’t fully understood Chen Yin’s intentions towards Xu Yiqiu, and felt it was somewhat inappropriate to talk about this in front of his good brother, so she swallowed her words and changed the subject, ”He wants to go there and also take the opportunity to see if the villagers’ handwoven fabric has market potential.”

Although she had shifted her story, Meng Xinian, being who he was, immediátely picked up on the incongruence.

However, he didn’t press further.

”You’re leaving early tomorrow? I have taken five days leave, and still have two days to spend with you.”

”I don’t need company,” Chiang Xiao shook her head, ”In these two days, you better sort out the things here. Also, the medicine has been given to Grandpa Chen. I was originally asking Wang Yi to pick it up the day after tomorrow, but since you’re here, you can go get it yourself.”

Meng Xinian frowned.

He came for her alone.

Knowing that she felt wronged and angry, he was here to coax and accompany her, not to deal with these people and issues.

Yet, he knew he had to take care of it.

”Really going for half a month? Which village is it?”

”I think it’s called Shier Bridge? I’m not sure why it has that name either.”

”I know Shier Bridge,” Meng Xinian thought for a moment, ”I’ll accompany you for a day tomorrow, then head back.”

He didn’t want to waste all his leave on these people, so he planned to stay with her for a day first, then it wouldn’t be too late to tackle the family issues after returning.

Chiang Xiao was taken aback.

Wouldn’t that be too much of a rush for him?

And they were going by chartered bus, how would he follow along?
