Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2566 - 2502: I Don’t Agree

If things don't go as planned when the time arrives, taking a one-year leave from school should be possible, right? It definitely seems workable.

Her teacher would be there, and with honor involved, special allowances could be granted for unique situations.

After all, marrying Meng Xinian means, at minimum, her family receives some support, doesn't it?

Thus, schooling won't pose an issue.

Additionally, she's ready in her mind—even if her body is just eighteen, her thoughts are far older, so handling a child should be fine, right?

Chiang Xiao felt somewhat shy about it herself.

She couldn't bring herself to drop that 'right' just yet.

In the end, she lacked any real experience.

Furthermore, after years immersed in teenage days, her mental maturity had slipped back a bit; she wasn't quite as grown-up as she'd believed.

Perhaps she'd truly settled into the life of an eighteen-year-old girl.

'It's expected they'll hear the news soon; I'll head back tomorrow evening.'

Since she's departing anyway, informing them is necessary.

After a brief pause, Chiang Xiao actively wrapped her arms around his waist.

Meng Xinian got startled.

This hugging style was new for her.

'Brother Xinian, maybe tomorrow night we could first...'

Meng Xinian inquired, 'First what?'

'First...' How could she even phrase it?

Yet her pause let Meng Xinian figure it out.

'First consummate the marriage?'

Chiang Xiao nodded right into his chest.

Meng Xinian softly let out a laugh.

'Hey, Chiang Xiaoxiao, you okay?' He extended a hand to check her forehead.

This guy!

He infuriated her so much!

Previously, he'd been the one begging for it, but now with her stepping up, he thinks she's off?

Chiang Xiao bit down on his nearing hand.

'Meng Xinian! I'm serious here!'

Meng Xinian kept chuckling, 'Seeing you like this, I might not release you—we've got five more nights...'

Suddenly his voice changed, 'What exactly did Grandpa and the others say?'

Without that, Chiang Xiaoxiao wouldn't have brought it up amid all her burdens.

Chiang Xiao shared openly and nodded at once.

'They urged us to wed and consummate first.'

Does it stem from his assignment to Ke Ku Li?

Evidently, elders in many families share this mindset.

Meng Xinian let out a sigh, 'And you went along with it?'

'No, I said I'd consider it,' Chiang Xiao replied, 'But...'

'But deep down, you've already said yes?'

Chiang Xiao nodded.

She clarified, 'Truth is, marriage was coming soon regardless, so advancing it slightly isn't a big deal.'

He's endured years waiting for her—isn't that sufficient?

He must desire it too, right?

Surprisingly, Meng Xinian shook his head, saying, 'I refuse, Little. Let's hold off till I return for the proper wedding and our real wedding night.'

Chiang Xiao froze in shock.

Why go that route?

Hadn't he been keen earlier...

Meng Xinian explained, 'Without current troubles, without heading to Ke Ku Li, I'd cherish you suggesting it, treasure your willingness to share yourself with me. But now, no. Little, just hold on for me.'

He refused for their debut to feel forced, like a mission.

What meaning remained in his long wait then?

He yearned to cherish her fully, claim her completely, deliver the most stunning, memorable first experience of her life.
