Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3050: Chapter 2986: Return the Way You Came

Jiang Xiao said, ”I’m heading back first. Tomorrow, I have an appointment with Wang Yi. She’s going to accompany me shopping for shoes, wedding shoes!”

Upon hearing ”wedding shoes,” Meng Xinian did not hold her back any longer.

As he watched her open the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram and leave, he pressed his lips together, his gaze deep and contemplative.

What he didn’t tell Jiang Xiao was that this mission would be very dangerous.

Jiang Xiao is already actively preparing for the wedding now, and he didn’t want her to worry about him during this time.

Of course, he would also do his best to return safe and unharmed, to come back and marry her.

The next day, he returned to have a meal with Jiang Xiao before heading back to the camp, and Dai Gang came running over, ”Boss, Commander Yang is looking for you.”

”Got it.”

Seeing Dai Gang about to run off, Meng Xinian stopped him, looked at him, and said, ”Gangzi, tell them tonight I’ll treat everyone, add an extra dish, pig’s feet.”

”Boss, you’re not worried that after we go out this time, we might not make it back, so you’re feeding us a hearty meal?” Dai Gang joked.

”Get lost, I don’t like hearing that.” Meng Xinian laughed and swore, ”Don’t worry, we’ll return the same way we came.”

Saying that, he walked towards Yang Zhiqi’s office.

Yang Zhiqi was waiting for him, looking at a document. When he saw Meng Xinian arrive, he looked up and waved him closer.

”Xinian, I really don’t want to send you to such a place at a time like this, but one of our teams is life or death unknown, and we must find them and bring them back! This mission is very difficult; you must be careful.”

”Understood.”

”Have you told Little about this?”

”Isn’t it a confidential mission?” Meng Xinian said expressionlessly, ”I told her I’m on a mission but didn’t mention the danger.”

”Better not to say anything. If you did, Little might be very worried.”

Yang Zhiqi felt guilty towards Jiang Xiao at this moment, but he had no choice.

”Go and prepare. I’ll give you the list of that small team later.”

”Yes.”

Meng Xinian walked out, put on his hat, adjusted it, and looked up at the sky.

By the time he came back, it would be almost time for the wedding. He needed to keep his face intact for this mission.

No scars on the face at the wedding. The anticipation for the wedding felt like a century-long wait.

As he left, Yang Zhiqi looked at his back and couldn’t help but sigh.

These two kids, why does it seem like there’s always so much trouble?

Just hoping Meng Xinian’s mission goes smoothly this time without any mistakes.

Although Jiang Xiao felt somewhat worried when Meng Xinian left, knowing that tasks he undertakes aren’t without danger, she also believed in his ability to turn peril into safety.

Moreover, she trusted his promise that he would certainly be back within ten days.

So she calmed down and focused on preparing for the wedding.

During this time, Ding Haijing also called to update her about the situation over in Huchuan, and at least everything there was progressing smoothly.

Additionally, Ji Qin scheduled a meeting with her, along with Liu Guoying, to collaborate once again with the Capital City Pictorial Society.

Ji Qin was naturally a bit disappointed not meeting Ding Haijing.

That day, she met with Jiang Xiao again at Youqingwei Teahouse, remembering last time she met with Ma Guoqun there and bumped into Jiang Xiao, her heart couldn’t help feeling a bit restless.

”For the next issue, let’s choose this ’Spring Day Frolicking in Water Painting,’ shall we?” She put away the notebook and spoke to Jiang Xiao, ”Can we talk about non-work related things?”

Jiang Xiao looked at her.
