Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1043: Chapter 1044: Headache

Now, their quarreling made his head buzz with even more pain.

Honestly, he hadn’t expected Duan Qingqing to interrogate the caller about their background — such behavior was also somewhat offensive to him.

Could this be why Xiao Chiang was so rude to her?

He gritted his teeth against the headache and said to Duan Qingqing, ”Qingie, you were wrong in this. Just apologize to dad properly and that will be enough...”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Duan Qingqing’s eyes had already reddened, and tears were brimming, sparkling at the edge of her eyes — his remaining words were choked back.

Chiang Xiao truly was gaining insight.

Lady, how old are you?

You were in the wrong, and now you burst into tears just because you have to apologize?

Oh my, is this an adult princess?

That’s not right, even a Little Princess isn’t this fragile!

Could it be that Duan Qingqing had held on to Meng Chaojun’s heart all these years by employing such tactics?

”Alright, enough!” Old Meng was already irritated and waved his hand, ”This daughter-in-law of mine, acting as if I’ve bullied her! In the future, try to answer my calls less! If I’m not there when you pick up, just say I’m not available!”

”Dad, I understand,” Duan Qingqing sniffled, apparently struggling to suppress the urge to cry. She still looked like a pitiable, fragile ”little cabbage.”

Chiang Xiao frowned and looked at Meng Chaojun.

Indeed, she had felt since she entered that something was off with him, and now his complexion was getting worse.

”Uncle, are you feeling unwell?”

Meng Donghai and Meng Chaojun, father and son, both paused, completely taken aback by her sudden question.

Suddenly Duan Qingqing supported Meng Chaojun, ”Chaojun, look at me, I was supposed to go upstairs, change my clothes, and then come down to massage your head. I forgot all about it when I saw dad had come back. You mentioned a headache earlier, didn’t you? Hurry and sit on the couch, let me rub it for you. Also, would you like some ginseng tea? I’ll go make you a cup!”

This kind and caring demeanor could make many people envious.

With such a wife, what more could a husband want?

Meng Chaojun had always thought so too.

But just as he was about to agree, he heard Chiang Xiao’s cool and steady voice, ”Don’t sit down, let’s go to the hospital right away to get you checked out. Your complexion looks very off.”

”Chaojun really hates going to the hospital,” Duan Qingqing glanced at her, irritation and smugness in her eyes, ”Every time he has a headache, I massage him.”

Chiang Xiao unrelentingly asked Meng Chaojun, ”And after each massage, does Uncle’s headache ease up at all?”

”Of course!” Duan Qingqing slightly lifted her chin.

Recently, Meng Chaojun had been suffering frequent headaches, which were her moments to demonstrate her tenderness and care. Thus, she was the one massaging him every time.

”I’m asking Uncle,” Chiang Xiao looked at Meng Chaojun.

Meng Chaojun hesitated for a moment, glanced at Duan Qingqing, who was confidently looking at him, about to speak when Chiang Xiao immediately added, ”Tell the truth.”

”Xiao Chiang, what is this all about? Do you need him to say his headache hasn’t been easing just to be correct?” Duan Qingqing became annoyed.

”I’m saying he looks really unwell right now!”

”That’s because I haven’t massaged him yet!”

”Have you studied professional massage?” Chiang Xiao looked at her.

Duan Qingqing pursed her lips, ”Why do I need to study that professionally? I’m not a nurse! But my technique is gentle, and I know where he hurts... ”

”Grandpa Meng, don’t we have a family doctor? Let’s call the doctor over,” Chiang Xiao didn’t even let her finish.
