Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2255 - 2191: He Must Come Along

"Ahem, dad, nothing’s going on." A faint blush crept onto Chiang Xiao’s face.

Just by observing her expression, Ah Liu could immediately discern who she was thinking about.

"Did Xinian make you angry?"

Chiang Xiao shook her head rapidly in denial.

It wasn't actually Tyrant Meng’s fault.

Was it possible to blame him for being excessively handsome?

Because of his striking looks, he was naturally a magnet for attention, wasn't he?

Ah Liu gazed at her and announced, "I’m leaving tomorrow."

Chiang Xiao was stunned by the news.

So soon?

His words caused her to temporarily push aside her frustrations regarding Tyrant Meng.

"Dad, has everything been prepared over at Great Grandpa’s?"

"Yes, all the preparations are complete. Besides, your brother went over a few days ago to make some arrangements on his end. Your uncle has also set things in motion, so there's no need for you to worry."

Chiang Xiao hadn't anticipated that this day would arrive so quickly.

However, she understood that Ah Liu had to return eventually; otherwise, how could he uncover the identity of the person who had wronged him in the past?

Despite this, an intense worry gripped her.

Those enemies operated from the shadows, and while they had remained safe all these years, Ah Liu had spent his time wandering and wasting years away. Without significant progress in his personal resources or Cultivation-like influence, how could he possibly stand against them?

"Dad, at least let Sun Han accompany you for the first few days before he returns. That way, I can get the full details from him. Otherwise, you'll only report the good news while hiding the struggles. Sun Han will definitely tell me the whole truth."

Based on her observations from the previous day, Sun Han was meticulous, serious, and highly perceptive, possessing excellent skills. Most importantly, since Tyrant Meng had introduced him, Chiang Xiao trusted his loyalty.

Knowing he was there would grant her some peace of mind.

Ah Liu replied with a touch of helplessness, "Your great-grandpa and uncle have already arranged for plenty of bodyguards. I expect to have seven or eight of them trailing me wherever I go. Isn’t that enough protection? Xinian found Sun Han specifically to guard you; he ought to stay by your side..."

Chiang Xiao decided to simply act like a spoiled and stubborn child.

"I don’t care. If you don't take Sun Han with you to D State, I won’t allow you to leave."

Ah Liu felt both amused and frustrated by her persistence.

"But you won't have enough people here to protect you."

"How could I be short-handed? To be honest, I don’t even think I need bodyguards; Tyrant Meng is just being overly paranoid. If Sun Han goes, I’ll still have two people with me, and another is scheduled to arrive tomorrow."

Having three bodyguards around her was already quite excessive, wasn't it?

Having too many people could be a disadvantage. If a true crisis occurred, it would be much harder for her to slip away and hide within the Space.

If she hadn't sensed such a menacing aura from that Bearded Man, she never would have agreed to hire so many guards in the first place.

"Dad, regardless, I’ve made my position clear; if you don’t bring Sun Han, I won’t let you go."

Ah Liu shook his head with a helpless smile, "Alright, alright, I’ll take him along."

Only then did Chiang Xiao feel a sense of relief.

Just as she worried for Ah Liu, he was equally concerned for her safety.

"After I depart, you'll be in the house alone, so you should let the guards stay overnight. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease. How can it be safe for you to be home by yourself at night?"

Chiang Xiao wanted to explain that she actually preferred being alone at night, as it made it easier to disappear into her Space if danger struck.

But since she couldn't reveal that secret, she simply nodded in agreement.

That day, she took a leave of absence from her job. She spent a long time giving instructions to Sun Han at home before locking herself in her room to draw numerous Peace Talisman diagrams.
