Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2592: 2528: So Proactive

Yet at this moment, he no longer felt any jealousy toward Xu Lin or Yao Cong.

He understood well that it was merely a casual address among fellow villagers, carrying no deeper intent.

Should Xu Lin even travel to the Capital City to handle their carpentry needs, it wouldn't bother him in the slightest.

Meng Xinian was fully aware of how pleased Chiang Xiao was with Xu Lin's craftsmanship.

As long as her desires posed no risk, he had no choice but to back her fully.

“Fine, but during the home renovation, stay vigilant too. Ensure somebody's always home watching over everything, lest opportunists exploit the chaos to slip in and cause trouble.”

This caution came from Meng Xinian.

Chiang Xiao immediately grasped whom he alluded to with “someone”—undoubtedly Ding Haijing and his ilk.

“Got it.”

“Head inside, I'll shower quickly, then you wait for me in bed.” Meng Xinian gave her waist a gentle pat.

Chiang Xiao swiftly dodged to the side.

This man, despite turning down the Meng Family father and son's scheme, was now whispering such suggestive words to her!

Waiting for him in bed—what could that possibly imply?

Still, upon hearing it, her heart fluttered subtly, leaving her agitated; she wandered the bedroom restlessly, only snapping back to find herself already in bed, awaiting him.

Meng Xinian entered clad only in shorts.

His firm, lengthy legs, wide shoulders, powerful back, trim waist, and chiseled abs, paired with his lightly tousled wet hair, rendered him utterly alluring.

Merely seeing him stride in that way, Chiang Xiao felt drugged, her body melting, throat parched, an irresistible urge surging to draw near, to press against him.

She figured she must have fallen under some spell, led down the wrong path.

Meng Xinian gazed at her, desire shadowing his eyes, as he drew close, flung back the covers, and slid in atop her intimately.

Bracing his arms beside her form, he peered down, murmuring huskily, “So obedient?”

He'd told her to wait in bed, and there she lay, precisely as instructed.

“I… It's time for bed now!” Chiang Xiao protested stubbornly.

Yet truthfully, blanketed by his presence, she sensed herself immersed in a haze of pheromones; every spot where their skin met tingled deliciously, urging her to squirm and nuzzle closer.

“Indeed, bedtime it is.” Meng Xinian noted her eyes misting with haze, certain she felt the pull as well.

“But the real question: how shall we sleep? You atop me, or me atop you?”

Those words set Chiang Xiao's cheeks aflame, burning scarlet.

This scoundrel!

Nevertheless, she held firm, refusing to yield.

Hadn't he turned her down earlier?

What if she took the initiative this time? Could he truly withstand it, restrain himself?

Perhaps, right before his departure, uniting with him might ease his tensions? Imagine if she conceived for real?

Thoughts like these steeled Chiang Xiao's resolve; uncharacteristically, she didn't retreat, instead looping her arms round his neck, drawing him downward, advancing boldly.

“You sleep on me.”

Her whisper was mosquito-soft, yet Meng Xinian caught every syllable crystal-clear; his frame ignited instantly, quaking with barely contained thrill.

This woman displayed such daring tonight!

Just those three words nearly shattered his restraint.

And her eager embrace made it nearly impossible for him to hold back any longer.
