Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1129: Chapter 1130: Luckier Than You

Chiang Xiao felt overwhelmed when Meng Xinian suddenly made such a comment.

However, with every reunion after parting, she was able to distinctly feel his yearning and surging emotions.

Thinking of Meng Chaojun and his mother, Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but say, ”Do you think, in a few years, no matter how long we’ve been apart, you won’t be happy to see me anymore?”

Love should be a fleeting thing, right?

Meng Xinian stretched out his hand and pinched her face, feeling that it seemed even softer than before.

”Silly girl, you want me to get tired of you? Stop thinking about it, it’s never going to happen in this lifetime.”

Chiang Xiao’s face heated up, and she swatted his hand away.

Really shouldn’t have discussed this with him.

Why does his gaze always feel so intense, making her feel like he wants to devour her completely whenever he looks at her?

”Why don’t you roast the lamb leg, I’ll take a walk by the lake!” She turned and ran off.

It’s better to give him some space to cool down!

Meng Xinian roasted the lamb leg while watching Chiang Xiao slowly walking along the lake.

His kitten, his little girl.

He brought her out not only to spend time alone with her but also because he thought she might be weary from dealing with those people lately.

The place wasn’t particularly scenic, but it was a spot he and Chen Yin often visited in the past.

During times when they were both heartbroken, the two would grab a bottle of sorghum wine each, cycle here from the courtyard, sit on the rocks they brought themselves, gaze at the tranquil lake, and drink silently. By the end, their minds would feel much calmer.

He just wanted her to have a moment of peaceful calm.

And him.

And the lamb leg he was roasting himself.

He watched as his little girl crouched down, picked something up, and then ran towards him.

The wind lifted her black hair, and the lake light illuminated her bright eyes. Meng Xinian felt that the scenery he was almost tired of, suddenly looked wonderfully beautiful.

”Tyrant Meng! Look what I found?”

Chiang Xiao ran up to him, holding up a bluish-white stone tinged with yellowish wax in front of him.

”Isn’t this stone beautiful? Doesn’t it look like a salted duck egg?”

Meng Xinian took a closer look, and indeed it was.

The stone was half-oval, grayish-blue like a duck eggshell, with a notch on one side revealing a small round wax-yellow stone that was smooth and shiny, indeed resembling a cracked open salted duck egg.

”It does, and it looks unusually delicious.”

Chiang Xiao burst into laughter, ”I’m pretty lucky, right?” She played with the stone, seemingly unable to part with it, and suddenly remembered.

She had once read in the newspaper about stone fairs where peculiar stones could fetch high prices.

Perhaps the stone in her hand wasn’t cheap either?

At this thought, her eyes brightened.

She recalled the fragrant-emitting stone in her possession found on Bao Shan’s Medicine Mountain. Could that stone also be one of the peculiar stones?

It seems she would need to inquire about this later.

”Very lucky.” Meng Xinian flipped the lamb leg, and seriously said, ”But your luck is still not as good as mine.”

Chiang Xiao’s interest piqued, she leaned in and eagerly asked, ”Really? Did you also find something good? What did you find?”

After brushing a layer of oil on the lamb leg, Meng Xinian looked at her and hooked his lips.
