Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2246 - 2182: He Will Choose Me Soon

Back at home, don't they already share a single bedroom...

Meng Xinian let out a cough before saying, "I truly want to be by your side, even if it is only for one night."

Chiang Xiao gave a snort, thinking about how incredibly cheesy his words were. She wondered how many more years he would keep up this sentimental act.

After a moment of thought, she shifted the conversation to avoid a topic he might raise that would be difficult for her to answer.

"Is there anything specific you'd like me to bring over? Just tell me."

"No, your presence alone is more than enough."

It was already wonderful that she was coming; why would she need to bring food for everyone else?

The two of them lingered on the phone for a long time. Even though they were discussing nothing but trivial matters, neither could bear to end the call.

"Hey, is Great Officer Meng there?"

A piercing female voice suddenly resonated from the other end of the line, loud enough for Chiang Xiao to catch it clearly.

The moment Meng Xinian heard that voice, he recognized it as one of the sisters-in-law he had been worrying about, and a sense of dread immediately washed over him. He spoke quickly to Chiang Xiao, "Little, first this—"

"Hey, Great Officer Meng! That girl I mentioned last time has arrived. Hurry out and meet her..."

The sister-in-law spoke with such volume and speed that her voice completely drowned out Meng Xinian’s words.

Meng Xinian tried to cover the receiver as fast as he could, but it was already too late. Chiang Xiao had overheard most of it, particularly the crucial parts regarding the introduction of that girl.

She arched her eyebrows in response but remained silent.

At this moment, Meng Xinian didn't even dare to suggest hanging up the phone.

He uncovered the microphone, his voice straining through clenched teeth.

"Sister-in-law Chen, haven't I told you repeatedly? I already have a fiancée!"

Sister-in-law Chen dismissed his words with a wave of her hand. "I know, I know, but didn't Xiao Dai mention your fiancée is much younger than you? That's hardly a good match, is it? Just take a look at the girl I've brought. She's twenty-two, a graduate of the Normal University, talented, beautiful, and holds a steady job. Isn't that a perfect fit? Just go meet her..."

Meng Xinian was genuinely stunned that someone could be so persistent and, frankly, so warped in their logic!

To actually pressure him into meeting other women when he was already engaged!

The other end of the line was dead silent; it was obvious that Chiang Xiao was listening to every word. Meng Xinian balled his hand into a fist, feeling a surge of frustration that made him want to hit something.

"There is no need. My wife is superior to any other woman in this world. In this lifetime, she is the only one I want. Is my meaning clear enough for you? Please leave."

Sister-in-law Chen was momentarily paralyzed by Meng Xinian’s icy bluntness. Her expression shifted uncomfortably as she turned around to depart.

As she descended the stairs, Sister-in-law Chen spotted the girl waiting nearby. After a brief hesitation, she walked over and said, "Little Cai, perhaps we should just drop this. It truly seems that Great Officer Meng has a fiancée. I suspected he was lying before, but it appears to be the truth."

"I am aware of his fiancée."

The girl called Little Cai turned around, a faint smile playing on her lips.

While she wasn't conventionally beautiful, her sharp, heroic eyebrows, elongated phoenix eyes, high bridge of her nose, and thin lips combined to create a striking, unique beauty.

Sister-in-law Chen was startled and stammered, "You... you already knew?"

"Yes, I heard the news last night. However, I don't see it as an issue. I believe that Great Officer Meng will eventually choose me. He will soon realize that a young girl is not a suitable partner for him."

Sister-in-law Chen felt quite bewildered. "I was already confused when Alliance Officer Gao asked me for this favor. Little Cai, with a background as good as yours, why are you so insistent on chasing Great Officer Meng?"
