Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1605: Chapter 1607: The World Has Become Mystical

”I’ll take it.” Meng Xinian coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said to Chiang Songhai, ”Grandpa, Little should know about this sooner or later. We can’t hide it from her, right? Besides, Grandma’s health now... Little has a good relationship with Doctor Chen Baoshen, the most famous doctor in the Capital City. If he could check on Grandma and prescribe a health regimen, wouldn’t that be perfect?”

”But, but this...” Chiang Songhai’s hands were at a loss, not knowing where to place them.

But just as Meng Xinian said, this matter would have to be revealed to Chiang Xiao sooner or later.

Having Meng Xinian know about it had one advantage: he could inform Little, sparing them from having to do it themselves.

Otherwise, Chiang Songhai really wouldn’t know how to bring it up!

Meng Xinian answered the phone. As soon as Chiang Xiao heard his voice, she sighed in relief, ”Thank heavens, you’re back! How’s Grandma? What did the doctor say?”

”Uh, Little...”

Meng Xinian took the initiative to answer the call, but now he realized that saying it outright wasn’t so simple.

Hearing his hesitant tone, Chiang Xiao’s heart suddenly sank.

Meng Xinian was always direct and straightforward, saying things as they were, never beating around the bush or hesitating like this. Unless... Grandma’s condition was really bad.

But, how could that be?

Over the years, she had always been helping to keep Grandpa and Grandma’s health in check. Their health had gotten increasingly better in the past two years—they hadn’t even caught a minor cold, looking almost younger with each passing day. How could there suddenly be a serious illness?

”Brother Xinian, what did the doctor say?” Chiang Xiao took a deep breath, her voice sinking, ”Tell me. I’ve mentally prepared myself. Don’t worry—no matter what kind of illness it is, I’ll do my best to cure Grandma...”

Hearing this, Meng Xinian realized she had misunderstood.

He quickly said, ”It’s not what you think. Grandma isn’t ill.”

Chiang Xiao was startled, ”Not ill?”

Then why are you speaking so solemnly and hesitating?

She almost choked on her breath.

”She’s not ill, but... there’s something going on.”

”Meng Xinian!” Chiang Xiao couldn’t take it anymore. ”Could you just say it straight? What is it? Are you still Meng Xinian? Or are you an impostor?”

Meng Xinian’s face turned dark.

This moment of hesitation, and now he’s being accused of being fake?

Fine, he’d just spill it out—what was there to be afraid of?

Chiang Xiao was so vexed that she picked up her teacup and took a big gulp, trying to calm herself. But as soon as the tea reached her lips, she heard his words.

”The doctor said... Grandma is pregnant.”

”Pfft!”

Chiang Xiao sprayed out the tea she was drinking, coughing violently as she choked. After the spray, she began coughing uncontrollably again.

”Cough cough cough!”

Hearing the commotion on her end, Meng Xinian grew concerned. ”Little, what’s wrong? Did you choke?”

In the living room, Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were listening to the noise on his side. When they heard that statement, the two exchanged glances, seeing mutual awkwardness and embarrassment in each other’s eyes.

Was Little reacting extremely strongly?

Was she angry?

Was she feeling ashamed because of them?

Standing nearby, Chu Liang also overheard Meng Xinian’s statement. His eyes widened in shock.

In the Capital City, Chiang Xiao was coughing so hard that tears streamed from her eyes.

She was certain she hadn’t misheard.

Grandma is pregnant.

Meng Xinian had said it, and he wouldn’t joke about something like this.

So, Grandma really was... pregnant?

Chiang Xiao felt like the whole world suddenly turned surreal.

There had been some moments in the past when she noticed things differed from her previous life, times when she distinctly felt she’d returned anew. But none of those moments were as shocking as now—this was like she’d completely drifted off the trajectory of her past life.
