Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2284 - 2220: My Whole Body Belongs to You

There had to be an underlying reason for all of this.

Since she had already come to this conclusion, there was no way Meng Xinian hadn't realized it as well.

"I’ll investigate and see what’s really happening."

Chiang Xiao let out a soft sigh and asked, "Is it because you’re just too handsome? I wonder how many more girls are going to show up to fight me for my man?"

Unable to resist, Meng Xinian pinched her soft, smooth cheeks and spoke helplessly, "I belong entirely to you. Every single inch of me is yours, and I give you my word that no one else can ever take me away."

The intensity of her jealousy today had truly given him a fright.

What else could be weighing on her mind?

The situation had even forced him to promise that he would bring her along if any similar missions arose in the future.

He could only pray that such assignments wouldn't happen again.

If they did, he would be stuck in a difficult position.

He longed to have her by his side, yet he couldn't help but fret over her safety.

Sigh, it was an absolute torment.

"Oh, by the way," Chiang Xiao said, her eyes shimmering as she looked at him, "Deputy Director Chen made a point to remind you that your dormitory arrangements have already been finalized."

She let out a giggle and teased, "Does this mean that if you stay here tonight, someone will come knocking to haul you away?"

A shadow crossed Meng Xinian’s face.

"It’s true that we aren't married yet, so it wouldn't look right. But Little, is it necessary for you to look quite so happy about it?"

"You're wrong, I'm not happy," Chiang Xiao replied with a mischievous grin, "I'm just thoroughly enjoying your misfortune."

Hmm, she wanted to see how he intended to sleep beside her now.

This predicament—where he could see her right in front of him but was forbidden from sleeping next to her—was surely a unique brand of torture for Tyrant Meng.

Recognizing this, Chiang Xiao felt a surge of delight.

She considered it his just desserts.

After all, he was the one who had made her feel so miserable, hurt, and jealous just moments ago.

Meng Xinian ground his teeth in frustration.

However, seeing her spirit return, he didn't have the heart to hold a grudge against her.

"Come on, let me show you the rooftop!" he said, taking her hand. "Even though the house isn't large, it has its own rooftop space."

His original reason for choosing the second floor was the exclusive access to the roof. While the first-floor garden was barely ten square meters, the rooftop on the second floor offered thirty square meters of space.

He guided her out of the apartment and up the stairs in the hallway.

Upon opening the iron door at the top, they stepped out onto a rooftop that featured several plots of soil; it was quite roomy.

The neighbor's rooftop was already overflowing with plants like beans and gourds, making it look vibrant and green.

On their side, however, there were only empty patches of dirt with nothing growing yet.

Meng Xinian clarified, "I haven't done much with it since I'm rarely here. I got the soil ready beforehand, just waiting for you to arrive and give me instructions."

Noticing Chiang Xiao observing the neighbor’s greenery, he added, "Don't be impressed by how full their garden looks. I once swiped a small tomato from them, and it was incredibly sour! Besides, their vegetables are crawling with bugs. With you here, whatever we grow will definitely be the best."

Chiang Xiao suddenly burst into laughter.

So, he had been waiting all this time for her to come and plant vegetables?

"What if I'd rather grow flowers instead?" she asked, casting a side-glance at Meng Xinian.

Meng Xinian didn't hesitate to reply, "Flowers are wonderful and beautiful. We'll create a garden that will make all the neighbors jealous."

"And what if I don't feel like planting anything at all?"

"Then we won't plant a thing. Our rooftop will just be more open and airy, which is also quite nice."

Chiang Xiao laughed so hard that she had to bend over.

Watching her laugh, Meng Xinian couldn't help but smile along with her.

He reached out, pulling her into a warm embrace and pressing a kiss to her forehead.

"Little, I am truly so happy that you're here."

Otherwise, he really might have lost his mind.
