Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1378: Chapter 1380: Surviving Another Calamity

Knowing such a significant secret of Chiang Xiao’s, Meng Xinian took a long time to calm his emotions.

Then, he held Chiang Xiao on his lap and gave her an hour-long lecture about safety awareness.

The main point was, no matter what, she must keep this secret safe, and she should not tell anyone else, ever again.

”If it weren’t for me catching you, you shouldn’t have even told me,” he said.

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but glare at him.

”Tyrant Meng! Aren’t you being shameless saying that?” Is he praising his own keen eye, or despising her for revealing so many clues from time to time?

She’s already spilled the beans, and now he says that it would be best if she hadn’t even told him?

Meng Xinian wrapped his arms around her and kissed the corner of her lip lightly, saying, ”Hmm, my bad.”

He always felt like he could never kiss her enough, and moreover, he was always filled with a longing to touch her, unable to help himself from wanting to kiss her, to hold her.

If there were any benefits for him knowing her secret, the first would be gaining a bit more confidence in her ability to protect herself, which eased some of his worries. The second, she can only be his now.

She trusted him so much; could she escape him at eighteen?

The little girl of his, she belonged to him now.

This realization brought Meng Xinian a profound sense of tranquility and satisfaction.

As for her Space, those medicines, he didn’t have much thoughts about them.

Life still had to go on, as it always did.

Chiang Xiao gently placed her palm on his cheek, looking at him.

”Meng Xinian, you are very good,” she said softly.

Unfortunately, she didn’t meet him in her past life.

If she could have met him in her past life, maybe with him by her side, she wouldn’t have been so foolish, so naive?

”My Kitten is even better,” Meng Xinian replied, rubbing his face against the palm of her hand.

The loneliness and chilliness of the dreams from the past, fortunately, they were only dreams. He really couldn’t imagine a life without her, living in such solitary coldness.

Chiang Xiao looked at him and said, ”Actually, my secret isn’t fully revealed yet.”

Meng Xinian: ”...”

Chiang Xiao released her hand from his face, and with a thought, the Magic Brush appeared in her hand.

Almost the moment he saw the Brush, Meng Xinian’s heart skipped a beat, his mind quickly piecing things together as he looked intently at her and said in a deep voice, ”This is the one from the Bai Gu Mountain Ancient Tomb murals, the one you altered...”

At the same time, all the previous discoveries and doubts suddenly connected in his mind.

He suddenly realized.

The man wearing the veil on the mural was holding this Brush.

In order to cover it up, Chiang Xiao altered the mural, changing the Brush into a Purple Sandalwood Hairpin.

A brush and a hairpin are completely unrelated items.

And the cup she drew had such miraculous properties...

There was another incident he had been afraid to tell her, lest she worried—he had never mentioned it before.

In fact, during a mission before, he almost encountered danger.

Among that group of private soldiers was a Sharpshooter, and in the final pursuit, a bullet was shot towards his chest.

At that moment, he thought he was definitely going to be shot.

But, a miraculous scene occurred.

That bullet was aimed right at the pendant hanging around his neck.

That was given to him by Chiang Xiao, which he had opened and looked inside—there was a drawing done by her hand, indiscernible, looking like a beautiful totem.

It seemed she had told him before, it was a peace charm and not to take it off.

The bullet struck the peace charm and was deflected, falling to the ground.
