Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2281 - 2217: Then I’ll Take You With Me
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Chiang Xiao realized that when jealousy took hold, she was no different from any other woman.
She found herself unable to resist the urge to cause a scene.
The impulse was simply beyond her control.
As he listened, Meng Xinian’s expression darkened steadily until he reached his breaking point. He seized her fingers, bringing them to his lips for a gentle bite, before leaning in to silence the words that were piercing his heart.
After such a long separation, shouldn't their reunion be focused on soothing his soul and body? What was going through this foolish girl's mind?
Officer Meng’s ensuing advance was so intense that it left her breathless, struggling to catch her air.
His domineering aura felt as though it might drown her completely.
Lifting her body entirely, Meng Xinian cradled her in his arms, only loosening his hold slightly to permit her a breath before claiming her lips again the moment she recovered.
He would grant her a brief reprieve, only to kiss her once more shortly after.
"Are you still angry?"
"I am..."
Meng Xinian kissed her yet again.
"Are you still angry?"
"You're annoying, you aren't being sincere..."
With a soft sigh, Meng Xinian continued his assault. After all, he wasn't finished.
"Are you still angry? Hmm, don't answer yet, I'll keep trying..." He found himself quite fond of this particular tactic.
After several rounds, Chiang Xiao was practically melting against him; her previous resentment and sorrow had vanished.
Tyrant Meng, you're a trickster...
How could he bully someone in such a way?
With her mind turning to mush, she didn't even think of resisting when he kissed her again, her defenses completely lowered and her will to fight gone.
"Good girl."
Finally feeling somewhat satisfied, Meng Xinian spoke in a hoarse voice, fearing that if he persisted, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from dealing with her right there in the daylight.
He straightened her clothes and pulled her back into his embrace, saying, "We have never been assigned such a mission; I truly do not know that woman."
By this point, Chiang Xiao couldn't even recall who the woman was.
As long as nothing genuine existed between them, that was sufficient for her.
Now, her concerns shifted toward the nature of his duties.
While she knew Meng Xinian would never betray her by fooling around with someone else, he was in no position to turn down an assignment.
She whispered softly, "But what if a mission like the one I described actually happens in the future?"
Meng Xinian reached out to stroke her silky hair, letting out a light chuckle. "Well, what can I do? What if I really am forced to pretend to be a couple with another woman?"
A bitter pang hit Chiang Xiao’s heart just hearing the hypothetical scenario.
"Yes, what would happen if you absolutely couldn't refuse? What if you had to call another woman your wife, hold her hand, share a room, and sleep in the same bed under the same blanket for a mission? Could you choose not to go?"
The more Chiang Xiao spoke, the more distressed she became.
Meng Xinian sighed, "I can't."
Chiang Xiao exploded instantly.
She fought her way out of his arms, her eyes reddening as she bit her lip, prepared to storm out.
This was simply too much!
This was outrageous!
She no longer cared about being reasonable; she was consumed by pure anger!
She wanted to leave and head straight back to the Capital City.
Realizing she was truly furious and seeing tears welling in her eyes, Meng Xinian quickly grabbed her hand, leapt off the bed, and blocked her exit.
"Little girl, what I meant was, I would take you with me. I'd bring you along."
He cupped her face, gazing into her large eyes that shimmered with crystal tears. She looked so adorable and delicate that his heart ached for her. He couldn't help but sigh as his thumb brushed her cheek. "Silly girl, you really are upset."
Chiang Xiao pouted, glaring up at him.
"What do you mean by that?"
