Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1478: Chapter 1480: Teasing You

”Has someone from the Kong Family given you trouble?”

The slightly solemn tone of Meng Xinian’s question startled Chiang Xiao so much she almost threw the handset away.

Oh God!

She didn’t say anything, so how on earth did Tyrant Meng infer this?

”That is...”

Meng Xinian spoke in a steady voice: ”Firstly, based on what I know about Brother Yun Xian, he would not take the initiative to talk to you about the family mess. Definitely not. Therefore, someone else must have told you about it.”

Chiang Xiao: ”...”

Okay, argument one.

”Secondly, knowing you, Chiang Xiaoxiao, even if someone did tell you about it, you wouldn’t consider offering help on your own. If you were to help, you would wait until you have some free time and then talk to me about it, or mention it in a letter. After all, the Kong Family has been fighting over that issue for so many years. Why the urgency now?” Meng Xinian continued: ”Unless, someone put time pressure on you.”

Chiang Xiao: ”...”

Right, argument two.

”Thirdly.”

There’s a third? She barely said a few words.

Xiao Xiao touched her forehead in exasperation.

Meng Xinian continued without pause, ”Thirdly, it’s still about understanding you. If it were none of your concern, you would first find out more, ask Brother Yun Xian’s opinion, and if he needed help, you would surely assist without needing my confirmation. But since you’re asking me while Brother Yun Xian is still there waiting, it suggests the issue does concern you somehow. Moreover, since you said his mansion is right next to ours, I guess someone from the Kong Family has approached you, or perhaps...”

At this point, Meng Xinian himself fell silent.

His silence at that moment made Chiang Xiao’s heart skip a beat.

Tyrant Meng is downright terrifying.

Why has Yun Xian, after all these years of not caring, suddenly become so intent on fighting for that house now?

Meng Xinian’s mind whirled, and he picked up the conversation, ”Wait a bit and directly ask him why he’s suddenly insisting on getting that house back.”

”Ask him directly?”

Facing Meng Xinian at this moment, Chiang Xiao felt like a complete idiot.

”Yes.” Meng Xinian said in a deep voice: ”After you’ve cleared up this issue, you should understand whether to help or not.”

”Oh...” Chiang Xiao drew out the sound with an ending note that was somewhat playful and helpless.

The sound made Meng Xinian’s heart flutter, and he wished he could immediately pull this young lady into his arms and fondle her to his heart’s content.

He sighed silently, gripping the handset tightly, and spoke with a hint of indulgent resignation: ”Kitten, don’t act so spoiled with other men.”

Chiang Xiao’s face darkened instantly.

Spoiled?

When had she ever acted spoiled...

Tyrant Meng must be letting his desires cloud his thinking! He gets fiery even without being provoked.

Chiang Xiao thought somewhat malevolently.

Out of the blue, she heard the man on the phone ask, ”What are you thinking about?”

”If I really were to tease you...”

Before she could finish, she shivered with sudden clarity. ”I’m not thinking anything!”

Meng Xinian on the other end, however, couldn’t help but laugh.

Huh, his young lady has become bold, daring to think about teasing him?

”Hmm, you’ll be eighteen in three or four months. I’m waiting,” he said, his voice carrying a slightly sensual huskiness, ”and so should you.”

This ordinarily simple statement somehow conveyed a strong sense of conquest to Chiang Xiao. It made her heart quiver, her pretty face flush with a rouge tint.

”I’m leaving now! Goodbye!”

With a click, she hung up the phone and hurriedly ran out.
