Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2576 - 2512: Go to Bed Early

This rascal truly has no idea what's running through his mind, rejecting it so stubbornly!

Yet he understands full well that Meng Xinian's choices are ironclad—no one sways him once decided.

For any other issue, Chiang Xiao could likely talk him around, but anything touching on Chiang Xiao herself, and Meng Xinian refuses to yield an inch.

The boy guards Chiang Xiao like she's the dearest treasure deep in his heart.

Who can say if he owed her a debt from some previous life!

Without knowing it, he'd struck perilously close to the mark.

Meng Xinian stepped into the kitchen, finding Chiang Xiao nearly finished with her setup. He approached and wrapped his arms around her from behind.

"Wifey, anywhere you fancy going or anything you wish to do over the next few days? I'll join you wherever."

That tone from Chiang Xiao always rubbed her the wrong way.

It stirred an odd discomfort in her, as though their shared moments were numbered.

Shaking her head, she replied, "I don’t want to go anywhere, let’s stay home these days."

Meng Xinian let out a soft chuckle.

"What's wrong? Even without me heading out, a few days free means we'd find ways to enjoy ourselves, wouldn't we?"

Chiang Xiao shot him a look and suggested, "How about catching a movie?"

Movies from this era likely lacked thrill, yet being here now with few options for entertainment, why not dive in and savor the experience.

"Fine by me—if you want to see one, we'll head out." Meng Xinian agreed with a nod, his eyes catching the chain around her neck; he reached out instinctively to toy with it.

Memories of those earlier intimate moments surged through his thoughts, igniting a sudden warmth within him.

"Little one, how about we turn in early tonight?"

Chiang Xiao almost sputtered.

"Didn't you refuse earlier?"

Did Old Meng manage to convince him moments ago?

Meng Xinian playfully nudged her head, grinning, "What wild ideas are spinning in that head of yours? Hitting the hay early doesn't mean I'm aiming to devour you, right?"

Heat crept into Chiang Xiao’s cheeks, "So you're just worn out then?"

In the usual way of things, bedding down early?

Does that truly signal plain old rest?

Meng Xinian’s arm at her waist slid gradually upward, his tone turning husky, "Nope, but a bit of caressing and smooching should be fine, yeah?"

This infuriating guy.

Chiang Xiao promptly stomped on his foot.

Aren't those basically identical?

He'd just ribbed her over her mindset! Preaching so nobly while his thoughts run the same naughty course.

Utterly shameless.

"Planning to do away with your husband?"

"Not my husband yet," Chiang Xiao huffed.

"August's almost here."

Oh, waiting feels endlessly torturous!

Meng Xinian sighed inwardly. Why no sooner date than August 27?

No choice now though—they'd endure the wait.

"Quit fooling around. Burnt dishes would mortify me to death." Chiang Xiao nudged him aside gently.

Meng Xinian pulled away, leaving her to her task undisturbed.

Something occurred to Chiang Xiao, so she told him, "Oh yeah, I've got to head back to City M early next month—Grandma's delivery time is nearing."

Meng Xinian halted briefly, the detail nearly slipping his mind.

An event like that demanded Chiang Xiao's presence; skipping it would be unthinkable.

"Okay, bring Ding Haijing and the other three along."

A City M visit was inevitable. He continued, "Stick close in City M—no roaming solo; keep Ding Haijing and the rest by your side everywhere."
