Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2153: Chapter 2089: Borrow Two Bodyguards

”You still haven’t told me what happened just now. What exactly is going on?”

Chiang Xiao took a few sips of the sugary water, caught her breath, and said, ”Let me clarify first, I didn’t intentionally keep it from you from the start. That day, I was rushing because of the wedding and didn’t want you to worry, then with my dad’s surgery, I thought I’d wait until his surgery was confirmed to tell you. I just didn’t expect you to suddenly have a task and leave.”

”So what exactly happened?”

”Do you remember Second Master? The man from Country Y who injured you.”

As soon as Chiang Xiao said this, Meng Xinian’s heart immediately tensed up.

”What do you mean? Did you come across him again when you were in Country Y?”

How could he forget that man?

The one with the bizarre shooting skills who almost took his life, arguably the toughest opponent he had encountered in his twenties.

The thought of Chiang Xiao encountering him made his mood instantly sour.

Chiang Xiao shook her head, ”No, I didn’t meet him again in Country Y, but rather on the plane back. Moreover, I suspect that man’s sense of smell is not only extremely accurate with his shooting but is also eerily sensitive. Although I haven’t been able to prove this yet, I have a strong feeling it’s possible.”

She recounted every detail and event from meeting that man on the plane to now to Meng Xinian without missing a detail.

Meng Xinian’s expression grew more serious with each word he heard.

So, that man might truly have caught a whiff of Chiang Xiao’s unique scent at the bar’s counter, remembered it, and then subtly picked it up again while sitting behind her on the plane but wasn’t sure, prompting him to switch seats to get a closer sniff.

That’s probably the reason.

The insistence on driving her home from the airport that night was likely a bid to better discern that scent in the confined space of the car.

Luckily, Chiang Xiao was a very cautious and clever girl, taking measures immediately.

Yet even so, that person didn’t give up his interest in her.

Why?

Of course, because the person who saved him at the bar was truly extraordinary, something hard to achieve by normal standards.

Therefore, for that reason alone, they’d spare no expense or effort to investigate thoroughly.

That person wouldn’t have come back just to do this one thing, right?

Encountering Chiang Xiao at the airport meant it was part of their original itinerary; they were coming back to the country all along.

What are their intentions?

After explaining, Chiang Xiao grasped Meng Xinian’s hand, worriedly saying, ”Brother Xinian, no matter how much I think about it, I feel that man’s return to the country this time harbors ill intentions and very likely targets you.”

Didn’t they say that on the other side in Country Y, they wanted to kill him?

Meng Xinian grasped her hand in return.

He mentioned how he noticed a floral scent on her today, quite different from her usual smell, and now he understood why.

”I’ll go investigate. He knows me, and I’ve already seen what he looks like. I’ll find out more about him, don’t worry, I won’t put myself in a too passive position.”

Meng Xinian was more worried for her, ”You should be more cautious coming and going from now on. For the next few days, I’ll drive you to and from school. When I have to return to Anbu Town, borrow a couple of bodyguards from Dad.”
