Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Itâs like a decisive separation Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Itâs like a decisive separation Chiang Xiao took the money and called out to Zhao Xin, âXinzi, letâs go.â
âSister-in-law, we bought some flour, letâs make noodles to eat tomorrow!â Zhao Xin said excitedly.
The third target extended her hand to stop the two of them.
âYou canât go out.â Her voice carried a hint of coldness.
Zhao Xin glared at her, âWhy is big sister being so nosy? Do we have to report to you when we want to go out?â
âIâm sorry I didnât tell you before, but I am actually Chu Liangâs significant other.â The third target flipped her loose hair and lifted the corners of her lips, âWeâve even talked about getting married. Iâll be the lady of the house here in the future. Do you think I have the right to intervene?â
The three immediately showed a surprised expression.
âBrother, Sister-in-law, have you heard Cousin Brother talk about this?â Zhao Xin looked at Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao.
Previously, he awkwardly addressed her as Sister-in-law and did not mention it in front of Meng Xinian; Chiang Xiao already felt uncomfortable, let alone now directly addressing her and him together in front of Meng Xinian, that feelingâŠ
âItâs normal that you havenât heard about it. I asked Chu Liang not to tell you,â the third target said.
âEven if youâre my cousin sister-in-law, you canât control where we want to go!â
âIâm only thinking of your best interests. You came from Hujiakou to this place, unfamiliar with the area, right? If something happens while youâre out, that would be terrible. Donât I need to look after you?â
Zhao Xin scratched the back of his head, seeming to think there was some sense in her words, âHow could it be so easy for something to happen? Weâre just going to buy some things in town, not doing anything else.â
âItâs getting late today, and thereâs still dinner to be had. Letâs go tomorrow instead.â
As long as he could keep them contained today, they might be gone by tomorrow.
Meng Xinian glanced at her, knowing that tomorrow would indeed be dangerous, especially since the Supervisorâs Wife and Chu Liang were both in a very bad state; they couldnât afford to delay any longer.
âXinzi may not go, but Little needs to go out for a bit. Liangzi needs a change of bandages tonight; his wound has started to bleed through. We came here to take care of Liangzi; how can we ignore his injury?â He insisted firmly, âIf the big younger sister doesnât feel assured about letting my wife go, then I would hate to bother you to make a run for it and buy a roll of bandage.â
If they were not allowed to leave, then she would go out herself.
That way, she couldnât say she wasnât confident in them, could she?
But how could the third target dare to show herself leaving the house?
She hesitated, looking at Chiang Xiao with a bit of helplessness, âThen sister-in-law, you go. I donât feel at ease leaving the house.â
Chiang Xiaoâs heartbeat quickened.
Tyrant Meng said he would let her go, and truly, he was letting her go.
âBut you must come back early,â the third targetâs gaze shifted between her and Meng Xinian, smiling with a wicked air, âOtherwise, your man might get restless.â
âLittle, you go,â Meng Xinian said to Chiang Xiao.
So thatâs how Chiang Xiao left the house. The moment her foot crossed the threshold, she couldnât help but look back, seeing Meng Xinian and Zhao Xin standing in the courtyard, watching her leave.
At that moment, Meng Xinian was still disguised as a simple, unsophisticated man in his thirties, with a slouched back and a face of woe. Yet, in Chiang Xiaoâs mind, an image surfaced of him in the alley she had seen before.
The young Captain of the Supervisor Guard stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with eyes sharp as a sword.
The door shut behind her again.
The sound resonated against her heart.
Why did she feel a sense of finality?
If she didnât return, what would happen to him and Zhao Xin? Those people would surely get suspicious.
But at this moment, Chiang Xiao dared not waste any time, and after walking a normal distance, she immediately started running towards the teahouse.
Hu Xibing had been sitting by the door of the teahouse all along. Seeing the young girl running wildly towards him, he could no longer contain himself and suddenly stood up.
