Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2122: Chapter 2058: This Little Fool

But how could he bear to ask her further?

She exposed herself all because of him.

Otherwise, Chiang Xiaoxiao is such a cautious and clever girl.

All because of him.

Thinking of this, Meng Xinian felt incredibly warm; in this world, there was someone who loved him so much, trusted him so much.

He wanted nothing more.

He only wished to be with her, for one lifetime, two lifetimes, forever and ever.

She was his treasure.

Meng Xinian stood up, took his coat, put it on, and opened the door to walk out.

He slowly walked towards the end of the alley, thinking that she should be close to home by now. Fortunately, aside from this alley, there was Liuli Street outside, and he knew from which direction she would usually return.

The streetlights were dim outside, the wind was cold, and he slipped his hands into his coat pockets, strolling towards the street.

As he walked, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

And ahead, a slender figure caught his eye.

The corners of Meng Xinian’s mouth curved into a smile.

His little girl was indeed wobbling home at a turtle’s pace.

It seemed she still hadn’t figured out how to talk to him.

That little fool.

Meng Xinian stood still.

Chiang Xiao really hadn’t figured out what to say to Meng Xinian yet, but since her dad was having surgery tomorrow, she couldn’t just not go home.

If there were nothing urgent, she might just have run off to stay at the school dormitory, avoiding him as long as she could.

She was really capable of doing such things!

But now she had no choice but to face it.

Chiang Xiao had already reached this point at her slowest pace, almost home, and she couldn’t help wondering if Tyrant Meng might’ve gotten tired and gone to bed already?

If he was asleep, that would be great. They had to go to the hospital early tomorrow; her dad was having surgery, so she could postpone explaining to him.

But then she thought it unlikely.

How could Tyrant Meng possibly go to sleep without waiting for her to come home?

Chiang Xiao let out a long sigh.

And then she saw him.

Even though there was some distance, even though the light was dim, even though the snow confused her vision, she recognized him at once.

So tall and upright.

Chiang Xiao stopped in her tracks.

What if she felt the urge to turn around and run away?

If she turned and ran now, could she outrun him?

Or should she just hide in Space?

"Wifey, come here, aren’t you cold?" Meng Xinian’s voice drifted over.

Calling her ’wifey’ at this moment, why did it give her the shivers inside?

Chiang Xiao felt her steps heavy, but she took a deep breath and walked towards him step by step.

Snow was falling from the sky, as cold as her heart.

Seeing her looking as if the world had ended, a flicker of amusement passed through Meng Xinian’s eyes.

When she reached him, he took her hand and tucked both of their hands into his coat pocket.

He asked, "Did you get it?"

Chiang Xiao, head lowered, murmured, "Got it..."

"Alright, let’s hurry home, have a hot shower and get to bed; we have to get up early tomorrow."

Huh?

Huh, huh, huh?

Just like that?

No more questions?

Chiang Xiao looked up at him in surprise.

Meng Xinian smiled, his fingers intertwined with hers in his pocket, gave her hand a gentle squeeze, and said, "With my wifey around, I have nothing to worry about."

"Brother Xinian?"

"Come on, the snow is getting heavier, let’s run back." Meng Xinian pulled her along as they began to run.
