Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1555: Chapter 1557: Define the Relationship First

Chiang Xiao originally had a tense expression, but when she heard this, she couldn’t help laughing out loud.

”Sounds good.” She said.

”Then it’s settled? On the day you turn eighteen, we’ll get married right away?”

”Brother Xinian, are you really in such a hurry?”

”Extremely. Every day we’re not married, my heart feels like it’s floating.” Meng Xinian grabbed her hand and pressed it to his chest.

Chiang Xiao pursed her lips, ”How about this—when I turn eighteen, we’ll handle the paperwork first, and... later, we can pick a good day to hold the wedding ceremony. Is that okay? Just turning eighteen, I don’t want it so extravagant.”

Meng Xinian immediately nodded, ”Absolutely!”

First, they’d officially register their relationship; the ceremony could happen whenever she wanted.

”So it’s settled then? No backing out. I’ll submit the marriage application soon, and by the time it’s approved, the timing should align.”

Handling the paperwork first was fine. As long as she truly became his wife, that was all that mattered.

Chiang Xiao felt like a little lamb, unknowingly falling into the jaws of a big bad wolf. But seeing his eager expression, she instinctively nodded.

Meng Xinian’s lips curled into a smile, then he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

”Hey, be careful...”

”I’ll control myself...”

Their whispered voices were soon drowned out by the depth of the kiss.

The space was filled with a soft fragrance, tranquil and undisturbed, as they lost themselves in their passionate embrace.

The next day, Chiang Xiao pulled Wang Yi out of bed to go for a morning jog together. On the way, they sampled some of City M’s famous breakfast foods, then packed up a few to bring back for Meng Xinian and her grandparents.

Last night, she had already told Meng Xinian that whenever she was not home, he must stay home to guard against Chiang Qingzhu returning and saying things that might mislead her grandparents.

Nonetheless, Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were in a pretty good mood today.

Their mental resilience had truly improved greatly compared to before. While they still felt pain knowing their daughter had endured so much suffering, compared to the earlier belief that she had died somewhere far away, simply knowing she was alive felt like a blessing.

Moreover, Chiang Qingzhu was only in her thirties, with so many years ahead of her. Time was the best medicine for healing all wounds. Eventually, things would get better.

Besides, what gave Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao confidence was that over the past few years, with the supplements Chiang Xiao had provided, their health had improved significantly. They were more energetic than ever, not at all like people in their fifties—in fact, their physical condition felt even better than being in their forties.

They believed that even if Chiang Qingzhu’s health wasn’t great, with Chiang Xiao’s help in nurturing her, and their own ability to care for her for many years to come, everything would be manageable.

Chiang Xiao had already lined up plans for her future life. So what was there to worry about?

Now, Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were much more knowledgeable and open-minded than before, which made them feel full of hope and anticipation for Chiang Qingzhu’s return.

Seeing her grandparents’ good spirits, Chiang Xiao felt reassured.

She had been worried that hearing about Chiang Qingzhu’s hardships might be too much for them to bear.

It appeared that her grandparents were stronger and more optimistic than she had imagined.

”Grandpa, did Brother Chu ever mention when he’d be back?”

While they were having breakfast, Chiang Xiao asked. This time, upon returning, she had discovered that Chu Liang wasn’t home; she still wanted to ask him about some matters.

”Chu Liang, that boy, went to meet someone.” Chiang Songhai said with a cheerful smile.
