Chapter 1702 - 1638: Noodles Cooked by Father

Meng Xi Nian was amused and exasperated when he heard this. "Kitty Chiang, do you take me for a fool?"

Is he that dumb?

"Besides, who do you think can climb up to the roof like this?"

Only this clumsy little kitten.

"Cough cough." Ah Liu’s coughing reminded them there was a third person here.

Chiang Xiao’s face turned slightly red, and she poked Meng Xi Nian’s chest to signal him to put her down.

Meng Xi Nian felt a bit regretful. If Ah Liu weren’t here, he really wanted to carry this girl inside, press her onto the bed, and give her a good nibble.

To soothe his longing from the past few days.

Even after just a few days apart, seeing her again made his chest surge with emotions, so intense that there was a slight ache.

At this moment, he just wanted to hold her tightly in his arms.

But alas, there was a father-in-law here.

Now Meng Xi Nian truly felt the inconvenience of having a father-in-law around.

He put Chiang Xiao down but took the opportunity to give her a tight hug.

Chiang Xiao blushed, elbowing him gently.

Ah Liu seemed oblivious to their little interactions, observing Chiang Xiao to ensure she was safe, finally feeling at ease.

But recalling her earlier actions, his heart became a bit anxious.

"Little, why didn’t you use the front door and chose to climb the wall?"

It’s so high, what if you got hurt?

Chiang Xiao stuck out her tongue, "I came across someone I dislike outside and wanted to avoid her."

"Even if you want to avoid her, you shouldn’t joke around with your own safety," Ah Liu said. "At most, when she knocks on the door, we won’t answer."

At this point, he paused, "So, when I heard someone calling you, was it really calling you?"

"Yep. Anyway, I don’t like her. Uncle Six, in the future, if you hear her, just steer clear of her, and if she knocks, don’t open the door."

"Has she mistreated you before?"

"Yes." Chiang Xiao nodded. "Very badly."

Ah Liu’s expression suddenly turned stern. "Then I’ll hate her too, and I won’t let her step through this door ever."

Unbelievable, to have treated Little poorly.

This person is now on his blacklist!

Chiang Xiao and Meng Xi Nian shared a glance.

"Uncle Six, it’s cold outside, let’s go inside."

"You go freshen up first, I’ll make you some noodles, alright? You haven’t eaten yet, have you?" Ah Liu said warmly.

The joy of having noodles cooked by a father...

At this moment, Chiang Xiao didn’t feel like she was inconveniencing him. Her eyes warmed, and she nodded readily, her tone slightly playful, "Then I’ll have two poached eggs."

"Alright." Ah Liu smiled slightly and turned to head to the kitchen.

Jiang Qingzhu, still outside trembling and crying, never imagined that the man she had desperately tried to find back then was so close, lovingly making noodles with poached eggs for his daughter.

Just a yard away was a world she could never enter again, a home.

Chiang Xiao came out after taking a shower, and the hot, fragrant noodles were ready.

The aroma wafted up, making her eyes almost brim with tears.

Turns out she also had such a day when she could eat noodles prepared by her father.

She also had moments when she was treated with such tenderness.

To have lived a rebirth, it was truly worth it.

Moreover, sitting next to her was the man she loved most.

Once cold and stern, softened for her, only wanting to do everything for her — the Great Officer Meng.
