Meng Xinian learns from Sixth Young Master Jiang that a future disaster involving Jiang Xiao can be changed. Jiang Xiao is to be married, and Meng Xinian goes to pick her up, but is stopped at the door by Wang Yi, who insists on three rules before Meng Xinian can enter.

Why does he feel like this is Wang Yi’s idea?

Could it be revenge for the time he commanded during her wedding and had her taken away?

“So, are you planning to just open the door and let me pick up the bride?” he asked.

“Of course we’ll let you pick up the bride, but there have to be conditions. Did you think our beautiful Xiao Chiang would just go with you that easily?”

Great, it seems like they’re going to make it difficult for him.

Meng Xinian glanced at his watch and said, “The time is already up, so you should open the door, and let’s save the hassle for the drinking later.”

Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili, among others, were also in the room and felt a bit flustered upon hearing this.

They didn’t realize that the time for the wedding is crucial and can’t be delayed, right?

“Sister Wang Yi, should we open the door now?” Qin Xiaojun hesitantly asked.

Wang Yi’s face darkened.

Meng Xinian, that sly fox, thinks he can break through their defenses with just a few words.

She immediately said, “Open what door? There’s still three minutes left. Besides, when the time comes, it’s just a rough window for him to take Xiao Chiang, not the exact moment.”

She finally got a chance to make it difficult for Meng Xinian; how could she let it go?

Definitely can’t let him take her so easily.

Upon hearing their words, Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but feel amused.

She now had a bit of a spectator’s mood, wanting to see if Meng Xinian could actually accomplish what Wang Yi and the others had laid out.

“Junior Alliance Officer Meng, don’t be in a rush. We won’t make it overly hard for you. There are just a few things we want you to do. Finish them and we’ll open the door!”

“Alright, go ahead.”

Meng Xinian saw they weren’t going to open the door, so he simply agreed.

Wang Yi immediately giggled and loudly said, “See the basin of water outside?”

Meng Xinian glanced over and indeed saw a basin of clear water by the door.

“I see it.”

Just then, a small bundle was thrown out through the window.

Wang Yi said, “These are the socks Xiao Chiang wore. You need to wash them clean now!”

Haha.

He thought it was something significant, but it was just this small task?

Do they think a dignified man like him can’t do such things?

It’s just washing Little’s socks, right?

Meng Xinian immediately grabbed the socks from the ground and without a word, crouched by the basin to wash them.

As he washed, he jokingly said to the room, “Honey, washing socks is no big deal. As long as I’m home, I’ll take care of all the dirty laundry. You remember, right? I’ve even washed the bedsheets a few times, and they were squeaky clean.”

In the room, Jiang Xiao almost burst out laughing at his words.

Tyrant Meng, the rascal.

Saying stuff about washing bedsheets in front of all these people!

Why was he washing bedsheets?

It’s not like she asked him to!

No, that’s wrong, it was his responsibility to wash them!

Wang Yi and the others didn’t know the deeper meaning behind this, but upon hearing Meng Xinian’s words, they all looked at him with starry eyes.

“Wow, Junior Alliance Officer Meng, are you serious? You’re saying all your household’s clothes will really be handled by him? He even washes bedsheets?”

Qin Xiaojun said this while looking at Jiang Xiao, and noticed her cheeks were flushed.

She was surprised, “Jiang Xiao, why is your face red?”

What about this is worth getting embarrassed?

Jiang Xiao couldn’t answer but just snorted.

“I’m not blushing! I just feel a little stuffy sitting in the room.”

“You wouldn’t be thinking of switching sides, would you?” Wang Yi immediately said, “We agreed to give him a proper challenge. You can’t be thinking of going out now, can you?”
