Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2308 - 2244: Sneaking Back

Once Meng Xinian and Dai Gang had departed, Chiang Xiao locked the door with a smile. She retreated into the bedroom, gathering Meng Xinian’s quilt and pillow to bring them into her space.

A primary task awaited her there: she needed to inscribe the Calm Spirit Talisman Diagram onto his pillowcase and quilt to ensure he received the highest quality of rest.

Achieving deep sleep every night would surely enhance both his physical health and mental state.

After finishing the inscriptions, she moved on to harvest all the tea leaves and flowers currently blooming within the space.

Even when she had no specific plans, she usually picked them, as they would regenerate rapidly afterward. By the time she finished processing her various creations, it was already ten o'clock at night.

She had just exited the space and was preparing for bed when a faint knocking sounded at the outer door.

The sound was incredibly soft; had the night not been so profoundly silent, it would have escaped her notice.

Throwing on a coat, she approached the entrance. Pressing her ear against the wood, she caught Meng Xinian’s hushed voice coming from the hallway.

"Little, it’s me."

Chiang Xiao was left speechless. The moment she pulled the door open, Meng Xinian slipped inside and swiftly shut it behind him.

He gazed at her with intense focus.

"Brother Xinian, why have you returned?"

Meng Xinian replied as if his logic was undeniable, "Since my wife is staying here, isn't it a bit much to expect us to sleep apart?"

It was clear he had already resolved to sneak back every single night.

"Couples usually sleep in separate beds before they are actually married," Chiang Xiao remarked, caught between amusement and exasperation.

"Other people are not us. Come now, Little, let’s get some rest."

With gentle coaxing, Meng Xinian pulled Chiang Xiao toward the bed.

Naturally, Meng Xinian nearly overwhelmed Chiang Xiao again that night.

Eventually, Chiang Xiao had to threaten to shove him off the bed before he finally settled down.

The following morning, Chiang Xiao rose early to prepare breakfast. Following his usual routine, Meng Xinian went for a morning run and returned carrying some fresh pork for her.

Chiang Xiao headed to the rooftop to gather green onions. After chopping them, she combined them with eggs and minced meat to fry a fragrant omelet. She also prepared smashed cucumbers, enhancing both dishes with spirit spring water. After soaking the cucumbers in the spirit spring water, she stir-fried salty shredded pork and boiled a pot of porridge.

Once the meal was ready, she sent Meng Xinian to invite the Elder Couple Yang for breakfast.

Porridge was the ideal choice, as it allowed her to incorporate a significant amount of spirit spring water.

Meng Xinian had to knock for quite a while before Old Yang finally opened the door.

"Old Yang, is something wrong? You usually don't sleep this late. I had to call you forever today before you got up," Meng Xinian remarked, finding the delay unusual.

Old Yang, however, appeared to be in excellent spirits and full of energy.

"That’s right, I had an exceptionally good sleep last night—very deep. I only just woke up when you started knocking," Old Yang felt as though he had been revitalized overnight.

It was a wonderful feeling; not only was his appetite returning to normal, but he could finally sleep with a peaceful mind.

His wife shared the same sentiment.

The things Chiang Xiao provided were simply miraculous.

It wasn't just her cooking that felt magical; even the tea she brewed was extraordinary.

He truly felt as though Chiang Xiao was a person sent by destiny to save him.

"You arrived so early today?"

Old Yang inquired.

Because Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao were clearly inseparable yet hadn't officially wed, the traditional views of the elderly suggested the two shouldn't be staying together yet.

Meng Xinian, however, gave a nod without showing a hint of embarrassment.

"Yes, I came early so I wouldn’t miss out on the breakfast Little made with love."

"That is true. Being able to eat a meal prepared by Xiao Chiang is a genuine blessing," Old Yang said, feeling a surge of hunger. He called back into the house, "Old lady, are you ready yet? Hurry up, I'm starving."
