Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2450: Chapter 2386: Still a Bully or Not

Right, if he wants to keep climbing up, he’ll inevitably get involved with politics.

With Meng Xinian’s intelligence, Chiang Xiao isn’t worried, she just fears he’ll be mentally and emotionally exhausted, unhappy, and tired. So whatever Meng Xinian is talking about now, for the time being, she’s fine with it.

"Little, if I really need to go to Ke Ku Li, why don’t you take some time off and stay with the Chief Alliance Officer?" Meng Xinian suddenly suggested.

Chiang Xiao was taken aback.

Why would she need to take time off and stay at Li Hanzhong’s place for no reason?

Living there would be so restrictive, wouldn’t it?

She wouldn’t get used to it with people always around.

Meng Xinian clearly knows, yet he still suggested it. Is he genuinely worried about Hu Xiangyong?

"I don’t need to go; I’ll just stay here," Chiang Xiao said. "Brother Xinian, do you believe it? I have this intuition that once I fully research the Talisman Diagram in the Ancient Tome, there’s definitely something that can either protect me or counter Hu Xiangyong, so you don’t need to worry."

"The Talisman Diagram, doesn’t it still require the Magic Brush?"

"Do I need to stop using everything just to guard against him?" Chiang Xiao sat up, "Don’t you think we’re being too passive? We’re always lagging behind and afraid of getting beaten—why? If he’s got creepy abilities, I’ve got magical ones, so why should we fear him?"

"I’m afraid that if I truly end up far away in another country, if anything happens, I won’t know about it and won’t make it back in time..." Meng Xinian said, "and I would worry a lot."

Chiang Xiao leaned on his shoulder, patting him, "No need to worry, I think they’re not necessarily as strong as they seem! Take Hu Xiangyong, for instance. His gun might be modified, you know? Maybe his eyes have some sort of spooky chip in them? Even if he’s powerful, if I don’t enter the Space in front of him, he won’t necessarily guess where I’ve gone."

It’s likely because they’re used to having strong backing themselves, and they’re surrounded by much weaker ordinary folks. When a few exceed ordinary capabilities, it unsettles them.

Actually, it’s not that scary.

Who knows why, but once Chiang Xiao figured that out, her deep-seated fear of Hu Xiangyong vanished.

Her confidence came rushing back.

Meng Xinian was overly worried about her, and since his current duties inherently involve these unusual organizations, he relates them to Chiang Xiao’s Space and Magic Brush, which caused him concern.

But now, seeing Chiang Xiao’s lively expression, he felt reassured.

Indeed.

In Country Y that night, he wasn’t cautious because he didn’t anticipate anyone with such strange gun skills, so he took that shot.

However, now that he knows there are possibilities beyond his understanding, as long as he remains vigilant and careful, he might be able to stand against Hu Xiangyong.

He chuckled softly and pinched Chiang Xiao’s cheek.

"Alright, let’s both be confident."

"Exactly, strong people shouldn’t be worrying about this or that, being overly cautious. Aren’t you still the Tyrant Meng I know?"

"When did I ever admit to being a tyrant?"

"You don’t need to admit it; I think you are, so you are."

"Then let’s see how I act as a tyrant..." Meng Xinian said as he flipped over and pinned her under.

After a while, Chiang Xiao breathlessly escaped his grasp, and a thought suddenly came to her.
