Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2572: Chapter 2508: More Promising Than Anyone

When they returned to the Capital City, it was just dusk.

Chiang Xiao thought about Meng Xinian coming home that evening, so she went ahead and bought a fish and some ingredients; to create a decoy, she also bought some vegetables.

When she got home, she found Old Meng sitting pitifully on the doorstep waiting for her.

”Grandpa, why are you here?”

Old Meng saw Chiang Xiao carrying fish and vegetables down from the car and breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought he would be left waiting for nothing.

”Little, you went to the market, did you?”

”Oh, yes.” Chiang Xiao didn’t say much, quickly opened the door, and let him in, ”Didn’t you have the guards drive you over here?”

Previously, she told him that it’s best to have guards with him wherever he goes.

”Well, I asked them to drive me over, then I wanted to wait alone here, so I let them drive back first.”

Wasn’t he thinking about staying here for quite some time?

Didn’t they say Xinian would be back tonight? He figured he should at least stay for dinner.

Unexpectedly, he ended up waiting for over half an hour.

”Didn’t you call before coming?”

”I did, but no one answered. I thought you were at school, and at this point, you should be just about to finish.”

Chiang Xiao put the fish and vegetables in the kitchen and looked to Ding Haijing and Luo Yongsheng, ”Will you stay for dinner tonight?”

Ding Haijing glanced at Old Meng and shook his head, ”No.”

”Brother Xinian might be coming back soon.”

”We’ll wait for him to come back before we go,” said Ding Haijing.

”Alright, go have something good for dinner, it’s on me.”

Ding Haijing and Luo Yongsheng nodded and went to find a place to hang out.

Old Meng glanced at them and whispered, ”Little, are they going to school with you too?”

”Yes.”

Old Meng frowned, initially wanting to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided to swallow his words.

He wanted to mention that Ding Haijing is quite handsome and not much older, always following Little in and out like this—could it leave a bad impression?

While they wouldn’t misunderstand, could others see them as Chiang Xiao’s boyfriend?

If people really end up misunderstanding like that, it wouldn’t be good.

However, he felt that if he brought it up, Chiang Xiao might be a bit annoyed, so he chose not to. Since Meng Xinian probably wouldn’t mind, it wasn’t an issue.

Just as Chiang Xiao was finishing cooking rice, Meng Xinian arrived.

Normally, he returned in a regular manner.

In uniform, he exuded charm.

Standing at the kitchen door watching him come in, Chiang Xiao felt her heart skip a beat for him.

”Brother Xinian.”

”Little, I’m back... Grandpa?”

Just as Meng Xinian turned to look at Chiang Xiao, he saw Old Meng coming out of the living room.

Old Meng, upon seeing him, had eyes fill with tears.

”You little rascal!”

He didn’t know what to say for a moment, so he cursed.

This rascal, when he left home years ago, claiming he had joined the Alliance, initially wasn’t even old enough and had to hide everywhere, and never imagined he would grow into such a mighty Supervisor Guard now.

Also, entrusted with such an important mission.

Old Meng looked at him with pride mixed with sorrow.

This child, at least, hasn’t grown into trouble.

Since losing his mother as a child, with a father who couldn’t teach him, and having someone like Duan Qingqing causing trouble behind the scenes, everyone thought he would be one to fight and cause trouble in the courtyard, but now he seems more accomplished than anyone.
