Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2523 - 2459: Just Wants to Be a Henpecked Husband

Frustrated, Chiang Xiao slammed down her chopsticks and bowl. How could anybody claim that she had a short fuse?

To her mind, her patience actually outshone his!

Right as she moved to get up and walk away, a pair of Public Security Officers stepped inside.

The illumination in the room was vivid, making Chiang Xiao appear like a stunning beauty with flawless jade-like skin, her captivating eyes gleaming brightly. There wasn't even a hint of the tough, aggressive woman they'd pictured.

His description had painted the image of a rough tomboy.

Next, their eyes shifted to Meng Xinian, who possessed striking good looks.

Suddenly, one officer identified both Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian.

His family resided in the same complex, and he'd dropped by now and then. Naturally, he knew Meng Xinian, the prominent figure there.

Regarding Chiang Xiao, he'd spotted her previously when Old Meng took her to update her name, right as he was talking with coworkers.

Back then, he'd silently noted how surprisingly attractive Meng Xinian's fiancée turned out to be.

And now, were they really raiding her place?

So, this pair wasn't staying at the Meng Family residence but right here?

Impressive, this home surpasses even the Meng Family's old estate, though it's outside the compound.

"Ah, Young Master Meng."

"What Young Master Meng? Address me as Officer Meng," Meng Xinian replied curtly, spotting the recognition.

"Officer Meng, I'm Xiao Wu. We're truly sorry; we had no idea this was your residence."

"No problem, you're only carrying out your duties, I get it," Meng Xinian responded steadily. "But as you can see, my wife and I were in the middle of dinner. If you could wrap up the search quickly? Or else, the food might cool, and I'd have to remake it for my wife..."

"Meng Xinian!" Chiang Xiao clenched her teeth.

Why did he keep dragging her into his statements?

Was he aiming to portray himself as henpecked?

Did he find this kind of banter amusing?

Meng Xinian felt a sharp pinch on his arm from her and swiftly clasped her hand.

Xiao Wu and his colleagues felt somewhat awkward.

With such a gorgeous wife, even if she did have a fiery side, they wouldn't complain!

Yet, they kept those ideas well hidden, of course.

Since it was their responsibility, they merely scanned spots where someone might conceal themselves, careful not to disturb anything further.

As expected, not a soul turned up.

The officers inwardly fumed, irked by the tipster.

This was obviously a ploy to harass them.

Upon realizing it involved Meng Xinian, they figured nothing suspicious was afoot. The gossip swirling through Capital City about Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao was widespread. Why on earth would he kidnap another man's fiancée?

Nobody in their right mind would swallow that!

"Officer Meng, our apologies. It appears the reporter might have erred."

"So anyone can file a false report and send all of you charging over?" Meng Xinian wasn't convinced.

Moreover, this neighborhood was too upscale for average folks to reside in. You'd think they'd check identities first before showing up, wouldn't you?

How could they barge in without that step?

Meng Xinian's eyes scanned their expressions.

A young officer with a buzz cut dodged his look reflexively.

Meng Xinian got the picture.

"Yes, it was our oversight; please accept our apologies, Officer Meng."

"Fine, fine, it's not on you. Can we get back to eating now?"

"Absolutely, absolutely, we'll head out right away."

Meng Xinian dismissed them with a gesture.
