Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2276 - 2212: Gouge Out Your Zhuzhu

Once she has married him, Meng Xinian will be strictly forbidden from ever seeing Chiang Xiao again.

Even if she cannot possess this man’s heart, she is determined to own him completely, ensuring no other woman can lay a finger on him.

A fierce fighting spirit ignited within Long Xiaocai's heart as she marched toward the pair.

"Meng..."

Her mouth had barely opened when Meng Xinian brushed past her. Holding Chiang Xiao’s hand firmly, he didn't even spare her a passing glance.

Chiang Xiao, however, looked back and offered a faint smile.

That subtle smile pushed Long Xiaocai to the brink of rage.

Spinning around abruptly, she called out, "Chiang Xiao, can we talk?"

Since Meng Xinian was currently ignoring her, she decided it was fine; she would simply deal with Chiang Xiao first.

Chiang Xiao arched an eyebrow, gave Meng Xinian a light tug, and turned to face her.

"You know who I am? It appears I’m more famous than I thought."

"Don't misunderstand, I only know of you because of the man standing by your side." Long Xiaocai stood tall, scrutinizing her twice before adding, "You look even younger than I pictured. You must be eighteen, right?"

"Why are you wasting your time with her?" Meng Xinian’s brow furrowed in annoyance. He wrapped his arm around Chiang Xiao’s shoulder, attempting to guide her away.

Chiang Xiao smiled at Long Xiaocai and declared, "The man by my side is my man. Keep your eyes to yourself, because if you provoke me, I’ll gouge them out!"

As she spoke, she reached out, hooking her fingers into a claw-like shape and making a sharp gouging motion toward Long Xiaocai's face.

She then raised her brows, turned on her heel, and walked off with Meng Xinian.

Long Xiaocai nearly collapsed from the sheer shock of it.

Chiang Xiao...

What did she just say?

How did she dare to threaten her so brazenly? To make such a fierce demonstration?

Gouge her eyes out?

Was this really Chiang Xiao?

Wasn't she supposed to be a beautiful, genius young painter? Wasn't she just a pretty young girl?

A girl of eighteen is expected to be sweet, acting cute and coy to win a man’s affection, isn’t she?

How could she be so savage?

Who says such terrifying things while maintaining a smile?

Long Xiaocai truly never anticipated that Chiang Xiao would possess such a temperament.

She stared with wide eyes at the retreating backs of the couple, only to see Meng Xinian looking back at Chiang Xiao with a smile.

It was a smile that seemed to be begging for praise.

Could this really be the notoriously cold Meng Xinian?

"Little, you just now..."

The moment Meng Xinian tried to speak, Chiang Xiao cut him off.

"What about just now? Was I too fierce? Too unreasonable?" Chiang Xiao shot him a sideways glare and snorted. "I thought this was just some prospective wife your sister introduced. Now it's clear that's not the case at all. That woman is clearly familiar with you, she knows who I am, and she looks determined to have you. I say, Tyrant Meng!"

Her voice suddenly rose as she looked at him with anger. "You didn't actually provoke her, did you? Was there some mission where you pretended to be her husband? Did you play house for real, sharing a bed or hugging and cuddling?"

Could it have happened for the sake of a mission?

If that were truly the case, she would absolutely explode with rage.

She was well aware of Meng Xinian’s looks and magnetism; if he had truly been that intimate with another woman, it was highly likely she would fall for him.

But if it really was for a mission, she felt as though she had no right to protest or be angry. After all, he cannot turn down missions.

And he was the type of person who would do whatever it took to complete a task once he accepted it.

The thought of this made Chiang Xiao feel a wave of genuine distress.

Initially, she knew the matchmaking attempts and being told to get lost were non-issues because she trusted Meng Xinian.

But what if it was all for a mission?
