Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1220: Chapter 1221: Feeling So Guilty

Altering the painting wasn’t difficult; the main issue was that she had to remain vigilant for anyone coming in, which made her so nervous that a fine sweat broke out on her forehead.

It wasn’t long before she heard footsteps.

These were Tyrant Meng’s footsteps.

Chiang Xiao gave a hiss of fright and abruptly tucked away the Magic Brush.

When Meng Xinian entered, he saw her turning away from the mural, about to walk out of the tomb chamber.

”Chiang Xiaoxiao, why have you stayed here so late?” Meng Xinian grabbed hold of her arm.

”Are you done with your work?” Chiang Xiao blinked at him and said, ”There’s just so much content in this painting, lots of very interesting details, so I lost track of time watching it. Let’s go out now.”

Meng Xinian reached out and wiped her forehead.

A hand full of sweat.

”You’re this hot?”

The tomb was quite cool.

Standing for a long time wouldn’t normally cause one to sweat so much, and Chiang Xiao wasn’t a person prone to sweating heavily.

”Yeah, it’s a bit stuffy.” Chiang Xiao wiped her brow with her sleeve. ”Let’s go, we’ve moved our stay to the campsite. Zhao Xin has arranged tents for us, and he also said it wouldn’t be against regulations, right?”

Meng Xinian glanced at the mural and his eyes suddenly flashed.

He followed her out of the tomb chamber.

The team member standing guard outside saw them come out and then drew closed the temporary door.

Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao walked towards the campsite.

The setting sun had already sunk behind the mountains, and the surroundings were silent; from a distance, chatting from the camp could be faintly heard, but there was no one around them.

”Why don’t you ask why I moved to the campsite?” Chiang Xiao looked up at him.

Meng Xinian was also looking at her, suddenly a smirk playing on his lips. He stopped, and Chiang Xiao subconsciously stopped with him.

”Chiang Xiaoxiao.”

”Huh?”

”Rare to see you nervous and breaking out in cold sweat, isn’t it?”

”I... when did I break out in cold sweat?” Chiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

”Normally, you should say, ’where have I been nervous?’” Meng Xinian laughed softly, ”You’re asking where did I break out in cold sweat, you directly skipped over the whole being nervous part, precisely showing that you indeed are nervous.”

This young lady was usually so composed when facing others, always maintaining her cool, but he had discovered that when she faced him, she just couldn’t hold it together.

This, Meng Xinian absolutely adored.

It showed her special place in his heart, that she actually didn’t want to lie to him or act, that she couldn’t fight against her own heart, hence all the slip-ups.

This young lady wasn’t even aware of this point about herself, so she always left him something to catch her on.

Meng Xinian was now starting to enjoy this a bit wickedly, reveling in the process of occasionally catching her in suspicions.

And how could his girl have so many secrets?

It seemed like an endless dig.

He was now truly curious about how she would explain this to him on the day of their marriage.

This anticipation for marriage was just too great.

A hint of annoyance suddenly flashed in Chiang Xiao’s eyes.

”I’m not at all nervous.” She stressed very clearly.

”Oh, really? So, I was mistaken?” Meng Xinian looked at her.

His girl immediately nodded, ”That’s just your wild imagination, what reason do I have to be nervous? I don’t have anything like a Xiao Cai.”

Meng Xinian tapped her head with his hand.

”Let’s close this Chapter; bring it up again and I’ll spank you.”

Still saying you’re not nervous?

If you weren’t nervous, would you hastily bring up such a thing to cover it up, shifting the topic?
