Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2948 - 2884: Mind Your Image
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Jiang Xiao glared at Meng Xinian.
Meng Xinian still sat upright, completely unperturbed by the idea that something he said might be wrong.
Being glued to his wife 24/7 was indeed a good idea.
His gaze flickered with flames, and Jiang Xiao immediately knew what he was thinking.
This guy!
"When the Alliance Officials start talking, it might not be a short conversation. Xiao Chiang, do you want to take Little Meng for a stroll around the sanatorium?" Madam Cui suggested, "The scenery here is quite nice and it’s very peaceful. Go for a walk, while Xiao Mu and I prepare dinner. Let’s just have something simple here tonight."
"Grandma Cui, I should stay and help out." Jiang Xiao quickly said.
"No, no, Xiao Mu is quite capable. Day after day I hardly have anything to do, so helping out is my fun. Don’t take that joy away from me."
Madam Cui looked at her and smiled, "Go on, ten days off seems a lot, but it’s not. Spend some good time with Little Meng."
She had been young before too and knew well that when in love, two people just wished they could become conjoined, always thinking of their private world together.
Furthermore, Meng Xinian just returned yesterday, and surely no amount of closeness to Jiang Xiao would ever feel sufficient.
She understood that.
Seeing them so blissfully in love, she felt happy too, and was glad for Jiang Xiao.
She couldn’t stand seeing those men always claiming to be busy, annoyed when their partner became clingy.
If you’re not affectionate while young, when do you expect to be?
So she waved them away, sort of shooing them out.
Jiang Xiao, feeling helpless, led Meng Xinian out from this row of houses, walking towards a shaded path out back. Madam Cui had brought her here for walks before.
At this hour of dusk, this path was virtually deserted.
This sanatorium is exclusive, so not many people live here, and mostly only come out to walk in the mornings. Knowing Madam Cui dislikes noise, they generally avoid running into her here.
So right now it’s very quiet, except for the occasional light chirp of birds, it was just the sound of their footsteps.
Jiang Xiao still felt like they were outside, and especially in this setting. So she only walked beside him, keeping half a person’s distance.
But after a while of walking, Meng Xinian reached out, pulled her close, and held her so there was no gap between them.
Jiang Xiao nudged him with her elbow, "Mind the impression you’re making!"
"Why should anyone care? I’m holding my wife!"
"Not your wife yet."
Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but give him another glare.
Seeing the way her eyes sparkled, Meng Xinian found it difficult to hold back. He stopped walking, lifted her chin with his hand...
Kissed her briefly, and when he pulled back slightly, his voice was a bit hoarse, "I’ve regretted."
Jiang Xiao was bewildered, "Regret what?"
"Regret setting the wedding date for the end of August. Shouldn’t we move it up to early next month?"
Jiang Xiao was both amused and exasperated.
"You aren’t thinking of beating Chen Yin and them to it, are you?"
"That’s not the only reason. The biggest reason is, I want the wedding night."
Wham.
Jiang Xiao’s ears instantly turned red.
This guy, at this moment, in this place, actually said such shameless words!
