Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Oh Younger Sister, Your Sister

This time he was transferred to Xinying District, and everyone there had a look of reluctance, bidding him a lingering farewell. At first, Meng Xinian was somewhat moved, but then those people delivered a line: ”With Captain Meng gone, we won’t be able to enjoy the stuff Sister-in-law sends anymore!”

Then they all wore mournful expressions, looking as if they had lost the will to live.

Angered, Meng Xinian gave them all a beating before he left.

However, he did bring a few of his own men with him, as he had a special mission over there, to rebuild a secret squad. They were going to face even greater challenges soon.

Now, hearing Chiang Xiao call him stingy, Meng Xinian actually felt a bit aggrieved inside.

”Those two guys, don’t think they are just as dull as Zhao Xin. In reality, that’s just an act; they’re quite shrewd, especially that Dai Gang, full of evil tricks. One of their purposes in coming here was to scope you out, and another was to see what there was to eat. See, you ended up giving them something, didn’t you?”

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh. ”Well, I did bring it for them.”

”So they’ve also started calling you Sister-in-law?” Meng Xinian suddenly turned around and asked her.

Zhao Xin and Hu Xibing had always referred to her as Sister-in-law in front of him, but he had never personally witnessed how she reacted or what expression she had when his men called her that.

Meng Xinian suddenly grew curious.

Would she feel shy?

Angry?

Or find it too overwhelming, considering she was so young?

He was quite eager to see her reaction.

But to his surprise, Chiang Xiao looked unfazed and even winked at him, ”No, they call me ’little sis’.”

”Little sis?!”

Meng Xinian almost exploded.

Little what sis!

”You mean, they don’t know your identity?” No, rather, they didn’t figure out her identity?

”Mm-hmm.”

”Did you make it clear?”

”I hinted at it. I told them my name.”

Meng Xinian’s face darkened again. Were hints useful for those people? Besides, they also didn’t know his fiancée’s name!

Chances were, those two would soon be calling her by her name outright.

”I’m hungry. Are you sure you want to keep talking like this? Have you taken time off? If you can’t get leave, I’ll just go back to the city myself.”

Chiang Xiao was indeed hungry; she was thinking of trying out fresh dishes in the city’s restaurants to see what delicacies they offered, plus she needed to find a place to stay.

She wasn’t sure what guest houses were like in this era; if they were too expensive and in poor condition, she might as well find a place and then quietly slip into Space to stay.

Thinking this, she felt it might be more convenient without Tyrant Meng tagging along.

Inwardly, she felt a bit regretful, wishing she’d told him she’d already found a place to stay.

Unaware that in just a short time he had been disdained by Chiang Xiao again, Meng Xinian said, ”I’ve already taken the day off. I’ll pack up and we can head to the city right away. There happens to be a vehicle from the camp going into the city; we can take that.”

He quickly packed a set of clothes and led her out the door.

Chiang Xiao touched her nose, resigned.

Alright, she had no choice but to go with him.

Upon exiting the building, they saw Zhao Xin running over from a distance.

Meng Xinian immediately grabbed Chiang Xiao’s hand and hurried her towards the camp’s main gate.

”Ignore Zhao Erleng.”

Chiang Xiao almost couldn’t keep up with his pace.

It’s too annoying when people have long legs.

”Why shouldn’t I greet him?” she asked perplexedly after he stuffed her into the vehicle.
