Chapter 1717: Chapter 1653: Single Dog in the Previous Life

Meng Xinian heard her words and couldn’t help but chuckle softly, saying, “You won’t become someone like Kuang Qingqing.”

“What if I do?”

Chiang Xiao always felt that in certain ways she wasn’t so different from Kuang Qingqing. To those who wronged her or hurt her, she would fiercely retaliate, and her methods weren’t necessarily gentle.

Meng Xinian said, “Silly, if you were Kuang Qingqing, you would only act against Kuang Kanzhi and Chen Zhu, and you wouldn’t play such dirty tricks on Chiang Xiao. There’s always a rightful target for grievances, and you have that baseline, I know that. Don’t compare yourself to someone like Kuang Qingqing.”

Chiang Xiao being able to say such things already showed she wasn’t the same kind of person as Kuang Qingqing.

“Brother Xinian, how can you be so good to me?” Chiang Xiao’s eyes warmed.

“Because you’re mine, my woman, my little kitten, my treasure, my wife.” Meng Xinian’s voice was deep, “Maybe I owe you a huge debt from my past life.”

Chiang Xiao was amused by his last words and let out a soft laugh.

How could that be possible? In their past lives, they shouldn’t have had any connection, right?

Even if he later caught those at the research institute, well, by then, she was already dead.

Even if he went to arrest them on the day she died, she fell from the building, and he rushed up the stairs, they might have crossed paths in such an eerie way, but that doesn’t count as a connection, right?

According to this logic, if there really was a debt of gratitude, it was him who owed her.

At least, he captured those people, which could be seen as indirectly avenging her.

The more Chiang Xiao thought about it, the more she felt this might be true, and it was their only connection from a past life.

The only thing she couldn’t figure out was, how could he still have managed to arrest people when he was already disabled and in a wheelchair?

“Silly girl, what are you thinking about?”

Meng Xinian heard her soft laughter and then her silence, feeling a tickle in his heart, wishing he could see her now, at least see her current expression.

Chiang Xiao snapped back to reality and said, “I was thinking maybe I owe you a debt from a past life, that’s why I have to save you a few times in this life.”

She was repaying him, perhaps.

But as she repaid, she rather ended up taking on more of his affection and care.

“Do you really believe in past and present lives?” Meng Xinian actually didn’t believe in them, and upon hearing these words, he also let out a low laugh, “If it’s true, then you must have been my wife in the past life too.”

Hearing this, Chiang Xiao didn’t know why, but she felt a lump in her throat.

She wanted to tell him, in a past life, you were a single old man, sitting alone in a wheelchair, quite lonely indeed.

And she was just a single woman of age too.

They weren’t a couple at all.

If it were a past life, even if they met, there might not be any feelings between them, right?

Back then, she was like a Cinderella.

“What, you don’t believe?”

“Hmm, I don’t believe it. I couldn’t possibly be your wife for two lifetimes.” Chiang Xiao said.

“So you acknowledge that you are my wife in this lifetime?” Meng Xinian said, “Wife, don’t forget the promise you made to me before.”

Thinking about his childish request, Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.

“I haven’t forgotten, but Great Officer Meng, changing ‘Officer’ to ‘Alliance Officer’ in such a short time isn’t easy, you know.”

“I’ll work hard for it.”

After hanging up the phone, Chiang Xiao felt like the sky cleared after rain.

She looked up and saw Ah Liu standing at the door, staring blankly at her with a confused look in his eyes.
