Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2306 - 2242: Who Attracts Bees and Butterflies

Chiang Xiao felt a sense of bewilderment. Why had he rushed out so abruptly to borrow something at a time like this?

Was there truly anything he needed that she didn't already have stored within her Space?

Nevertheless, she followed his instructions after he explained and departed. She secured the door and headed in to take a shower.

By the time she finished and stepped out to unlock the door, Meng Xinian was already standing there holding an object, as if he had timed her bathing routine to the exact second.

Entering the room, he left the door slightly ajar before leaning toward her neck. He took a deep breath and murmured, "My Little really smells wonderful."

In truth, Chiang Xiao had been carrying a custom-made sachet of dried flowers for quite a while to mask her natural scent, giving off a floral aroma. Her female classmates had even inquired if she had imported some special soap from abroad.

However, since arriving here, she felt relaxed enough to stop using the dried flowers to hide her fragrance.

This particular scent was the one Meng Xinian loved most.

"What was it that you went to borrow?" Chiang Xiao questioned.

Leading her over to the sofa to sit, Meng Xinian replied, "An almanac."

He presented the book to her as if it were a priceless treasure.

Chiang Xiao: "..."

What on earth was he plotting?

"It is time for us to select a wedding date," Meng Xinian declared through clenched teeth. "Chiang Xiaoxiao, mark my words—this time, I am picking the most auspicious day possible, and I won’t tolerate any further interruptions."

In his mind, Chiang Xiaoxiao should have become his wife a long time ago. He had waited impatiently for her to reach eighteen so they could wed, yet here they were, still merely engaged!

Engaged!

He was dying to finally be married.

"Had we married sooner, none of the mess we faced today would have happened. We are choosing the date ourselves," he muttered, flipping open the almanac. "From what point should we start looking? We'll need time to organize the ceremony; is one month sufficient?"

Chiang Xiao found herself somewhat at a loss for words.

She pointed out bluntly, "You've got one thing wrong."

"Oh?"

"Even if we were already married, these types of situations would still occur," Chiang Xiao huffed. "For a person who naturally draws eyes, being married or single makes no difference; they are going to attract attention regardless."

Meng Xinian shifted his focus from the pages of the almanac to her face. He leaned in closer, fixing her with an intense stare.

"What? Did I say something incorrect?"

"No, you’re not wrong, but I’m just observing Jiang Xiaoxiao’s face," Meng Xinian said, playfully pinching her soft cheek. "This face also seems like the type that attracts a lot of attention."

"And who exactly have I attracted?" Chiang Xiao shot him a glare. "I haven't attracted anyone..."

Meng Xinian sat bolt upright immediately, raising five fingers as if ready to list them one by one.

"No one? Why don't we count them? Let's see," he hummed thoughtfully. "First, back in Siyang Village in Peace Town, there was that Ji Desheng. Didn't they say a brat in your village shoved you into Nameless Creek because she was jealous over that Ji Desheng?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Chiang Xiao nearly choked on her own breath.

Tyrant Meng was truly incredible! How could he bring that up out of nowhere? That happened so many years ago!

Furthermore, they hadn't even met each other back then!

"That Ji Desheng had feelings for you, didn't he?" Meng Xinian shot her a look before continuing, "Then there's another one. When you were in high school, a boy transferred in from Province N. What was his name again?"

"Xi Minghui?"

Chiang Xiao blurted out the name instinctively, but the moment the words left her mouth, she realized her mistake. She quickly clamped her hand over her lips, blinking at Meng Xinian with a look of feigned innocence.
