Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2346 - 2282: I’m Telling You, Chiang Xiaoxiao

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Jiang Xiao worries about Meng Xinian’s potential upcoming deployment, even considering following him to ensure his safety. Meanwhile, Meng Xinian recounts how he disciplined his subordinates by making them perform grueling, unpleasant manual labor under the guise of community service. The arrival of Ding Haijing prompts Jiang Xiao to ask about the legendary rivalry between "Sea Wei and Land Meng." Though Meng Xinian confirms Ding Haijing is trustworthy, he becomes visibly defensive and dark-faced when questioned about his formidable peer, Wei Yixi.

Meng Xinian was visibly irritated by this.

Is there anything more galling than being underestimated by your own wife?

He rubbed his face vigorously and let out a snort. "Like you said, they call it 'Sea Wei and Land Meng.' Do you know why it's split between Sea and Land? It isn't just because he's in the Sea Region Alliance while I belong to the Land Region Alliance. There is a deeper reason: while he excels in the water, he can't beat me in a solo duel on solid ground."

Despite his annoyance, Meng Xinian provided an objective assessment.

"Are you implying his skills in the water are exceptional?"

"His ability to hold his breath is ranked number one in the Sea Region Alliance. They say that once he enters the ocean, he becomes as ferocious as a giant shark."

However, despite his prowess as a swimmer, Meng Xinian lacked frequent experience in aquatic environments since he wasn't often stationed by the coast.

Wei Yixi possessed a unique talent for calculating water flow velocity and synchronizing his movements with it, a feat no one else could replicate.

Deep down, Meng Xinian truly respected Wei Yixi.

Nevertheless, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy at the thought of his Little One idolizing the man.

Should he incorporate water training into his future regimen?

The thought crossed his mind involuntarily.

Unaware of his internal monologue, Chiang Xiao felt impressed. It was rare for Meng Xinian to acknowledge someone else's abilities so readily. "It sounds like Wei Yixi is truly remarkable then," she praised.

"Why is his name still coming out of your mouth? Did Ding Haijing spend the whole time praising Wei Yixi to you? Is Wei Lengmian still trying to set you up with that kid? Chiang Xiaoxiao, you need to remember that you already have a man. You are taken, understand? You agreed to the date on August 27th, didn't you? Let me tell you, Chiang Xiaoxiao..."

Chiang Xiao quickly pulled the phone receiver away from her ear.

What was wrong with this man?

Why was he suddenly bringing this up?

Her comment was completely innocent, and she had even brought up Director Wei.

Director Wei didn't seem like the type to act inappropriately; he was well aware that she was Meng Xinian’s fiancée. Why would he try to introduce her to his nephew?

Besides, Meng Xinian made her sound so irresistible, as if every man was after her.

If Wei Yixi was as incredible as he claimed, surely plenty of women were lining up to marry him. He wouldn't need Director Wei to act as a matchmaker, would he?

She was overthinking things.

"Chiang Xiaoxiao, are you listening to me?"

"I'm listening!"

"Stop thinking about Wei Yixi. Think about me instead. I am your man, do you understand?"

Chiang Xiao had the sudden urge to roll her eyes.

"Meng Xinian, I think you've definitely consumed a lot of vinegar tonight."

"It's good that you've noticed. I've had so much that I won't even need any for my dumplings," Meng Xinian huffed.

Who told her to be so inquisitive about Wei Yixi?

"That's enough," Chiang Xiao snorted in return. "I saw my uncle today. He mentioned the list isn't final yet and that someone leaked the news on purpose. The Long Family is definitely aware, and if they know, the Gao and Lu Families probably know as well, right?"

Meng Xinian's tone turned serious at the mention of this.

"Mm, that's fairly obvious."

"I told Uncle that if you are chosen, I won't stand in your way. I'll let you go."

"Little One."

Meng Xinian spoke her name softly, wishing he could pull her into his arms at that very moment.

Where else could he find a wife who would offer such unwavering support and lack of hesitation when facing such a significant matter?

"However, if you aren't selected, can you promise me you won't go out of your way to fight for a spot?" Chiang Xiao added in a gentle voice.

Regardless of her support, it would be unnatural if she weren't at least a little worried about his safety.
