Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3220: Chapter 3156: She Went Hungry

As soon as Meng Xinian walked in, he asked Aunt Meng, ”Are there any dishes left, Aunt?”

Jiang Xiao wanted to facepalm.

She originally thought they could eat out and have a better meal, but from their home to the main area there’s no restaurants. If they wanted to eat out, they’d have to travel some distance, which would be time-consuming, and Chiang Songhai and the others might have to wait until nine at night.

Cooking at home wasn’t feasible either.

So she braced herself and followed Meng Xinian over.

But all the mental preparation she did seemed inadequate when she actually heard Meng Xinian ask that question.

Because Old Meng and Chiang Songhai were as shocked as Jiang Xiao expected, questioning why they hadn’t eaten by seven thirty.

”It’s so late and you haven’t eaten? Didn’t you say Sixth Young Master and the others left after four?”

From four to seven thirty, which is three and a half hours, they hadn’t eaten yet?

Jiang Xiao glared at Meng Xinian.

Embarrassing, it was so embarrassing!

”Did something happen?”

Old Meng looked at Jiang Xiao with worry and concern.

After all, they often had things to deal with before.

Feeling guilty under their scrutiny, Jiang Xiao awkwardly adjusted her collar.

She even thought about whether she should’ve checked in the mirror after showering to see if Meng Xinian had left any marks during his moments of losing control.

Like on her neck.

Did he leave any marks in places uncovered by clothing?

If he really did, she might as well dig a hole to crawl into.

But Meng Xinian was far thicker-skinned.

He replied calmly, ”Nothing happened; I took Little to a movie, and the food at the nearby restaurants was bad.”

Jiang Xiao looked at him.

She truly admired how he could lie with a straight face.

His face was really thick.

But her face was burning.

It seemed she’d never beat Meng Xinian in the thick-skin department.

”Look at you, how could you be so thoughtless? Watching a movie for this long?” Old Meng immediately reprimanded Meng Xinian, ”A movie can’t last three hours! Didn’t you consider Little might be hungry? You should’ve taken her to eat first.”

Yeah, yeah, why didn’t he consider she’d be hungry?

He should’ve let her eat something midway.

Jiang Xiao followed with an accusatory glance at Meng Xinian.

Meng Xinian looked at her with laughter in his eyes.

Truly sorry, he considered her as food; he kept ”eating” endlessly.

Just starting out, he found it hard to control; hopefully, in half a year to a year, things will get better?

But Meng Xinian felt he’d probably never grow tired of her.

Nor of her body.

”Yes, it was my oversight.” But facing so many elders, Meng Xinian wisely admitted his fault immediately.

”We still have leftover rice at home. The dishes are gone, but I can quickly stir-fry a few. Please wait a moment.” Aunt Meng quickly got up and went to the kitchen, deftly getting busy.

Fortunately, there were many people at home these days, so she bought extra groceries daily. The cooked dishes were gone, but there were still some ingredients left in the kitchen.

Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but glare at Meng Xinian again.

In fact, she wasn’t that hungry because they’d had some snacks after getting out. So skipping dinner wasn’t unbearable.

But Meng Xinian insisted that their long-duration, high-intensity activity needed sufficient replenishment. Knowing how good her snacks were, he insisted that only hot dishes and rice could truly replenish energy.
