Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2123: Chapter 2059: A Sigh of Relief

After returning, Meng Xinian took out her sleepwear and asked her to quickly take a bath.

"I’ll wait for you in bed."

Uh...

Chiang Xiao’s face darkened, feeling that his words were a bit overly ambiguous.

But looking at his serious expression, it seemed like he hadn’t thought about it at all.

Maybe she was the one reading too much into it?

Chiang Xiao subconsciously reflected on herself.

She quickly finished her bath and came out. Meng Xinian was lying in her spot, and only moved away when he saw her coming, his actions very natural.

Chiang Xiao crawled into the bed, feeling very warm.

Meng Xinian reached out and hugged her, gently patting her back, "It’s late, sleep quickly; we have to get up early tomorrow."

"Well, Brother Xinian, I want to give you something." Chiang Xiao said as she was about to move, but Meng Xinian held her tightly, resting his chin on her head.

He wouldn’t let her move, speaking softly.

"Little, you keep it for now. Give it to me after Dad’s surgery is done and when he’s better."

Before then, he didn’t want to look.

According to Nian Tang, there might be some hidden details recorded in this diary.

Things he hadn’t known about for so many years; waiting a bit longer didn’t matter.

He didn’t want to see anything now that would affect his emotions and, in turn, affect Little.

It would distract her.

He didn’t want her worrying about Ah Liu to have to worry about him too.

So, it’s better to wait a few days to look.

Chiang Xiao understood his meaning, and felt a warmth in her heart.

"Then I’ll hold onto it for now."

"Mm, sleep."

As she was drifting into sleep, Chiang Xiao was still thinking, why didn’t he ask her?

This time she had exposed such a big flaw in front of him, yet he didn’t ask her.

Before, he would say to wait until the wedding night to have her confess everything, but now he didn’t even say that.

Does that mean he didn’t need her to explain anymore?

Chiang Xiao let out a sigh of relief and fell asleep.

After she was asleep, Meng Xinian opened his eyes and gently kissed her hair.

Chiang Xiao originally thought Meng Xinian would at least stay with her until Ah Liu’s surgery was over.

But unexpectedly, the Alliance’s call came even before she got up the next day.

It was only six in the morning when Meng Xinian received the call and rushed back to Anbu Town.

"I’m really sorry, Little, there’s an urgent task, I have to go."

Meng Xinian quickly got dressed, embraced Chiang Xiao, and kissed her forehead. He also felt very apologetic that he couldn’t even stay with her through Ah Liu’s surgery.

If he had known earlier, he would’ve traded his previous two days off for today.

But there’s no way; even if today was swapped for leave, he would still have to leave immediately for such an urgent task.

This is the Supervisor Guard.

Therefore, all the good treatment he gives to Chiang Xiaoxiao is deserved.

If she were a bit fragile, she would feel unable to accept this time. When she needed him the most, he couldn’t be by her side.

Chiang Xiao saw that he did not voluntarily say what it was and knew it was a confidential mission, one that even she couldn’t be told about.

To say there was no disappointment in her heart would be impossible.

After all, she is a woman, and at this moment, she really wanted to rely on him.

She was also very worried that Dad’s surgery might fail.

If he were by her side, she would feel a lot more at ease.

And she wanted to find an opportunity to tell him about the Bearded Man, but now it seems she can’t.
