Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s-Chapter 2575 - 2511: Heartbroken Like a Knife

"Are you crazy? Why don’t you agree? You little brat, what are you thinking?" Old Meng was furious, reaching out to smack him on the back.

With a loud slap, Old Meng really used some force this time.

But Meng Xinian endured it.

With a dark expression, he said, "I know what you’re thinking. Isn’t it just because I’m the only one left in the Meng Family? What, are you afraid I’ll die on the battlefield, or afraid I’ll be injured so badly that I can’t continue the family line?"

"Isn’t it just in case?" Old Meng was so angry his temples throbbed.

"Of course, it’s best if nothing happens to you. We all hope you’ll be safe, but you have to understand the ’what if’, right? Those people without partners have no choice, but you, things are great with Little, and you’ll get married and have kids eventually. What’s the problem?"

If he and Chiang Xiao weren’t sure, he wouldn’t dare to push this matter.

But they were clearly getting married on August 27th, so what’s the difference?

Why can’t it be done?

"I just don’t agree. Yes, you’re afraid of ’what if’, and so am I." Meng Xinian said, "If, in the end, ’what if’ actually happens and I die, do you want Little to remain alone for the rest of her life because of me? That’s not fair to her."

"What are you talking about?"

Old Meng was furious again.

"If something really does happen to you, can’t Little find someone else later?"

"If she’s already with me... how do you know others won’t despise her? Fine, I know, no one else is going to despise her."

Actually, it wasn’t easy for Meng Xinian to say such things. He didn’t want to, but he had no choice when talking to Old Meng.

"No one will despise her, but I don’t want it. I don’t want her, after being with me, to have to carry the memories I gave her and then be with someone else."

In fact, the thought of Chiang Xiaoxiao possibly being with another man, smiling at another man, being shy with another man, in another man’s arms...

Meng Xinian felt like he couldn’t take it.

Speaking these words felt like his heart was being cut to pieces.

So, he was determined to come back safely.

"Who said you’re going to get into trouble? No one thinks anything will happen to you." Old Meng said deeply.

None of them wanted anything to happen to him.

"Since nothing is likely to happen to me anyway, why can’t you just wait until I come back?"

"What if, what if you get injured, though?" Old Meng was anxious. They’d heard of many being seriously injured on the battlefield, affecting their ability to continue the family line.

"If I get injured, I’ll just get treated when I come back. Even if it can’t be cured, children aren’t important. If Little doesn’t mind, we can just live like that for a lifetime. If it can be treated, then we’ll have children after I’m cured, right?"

"You, you, you, are you trying to drive me to my grave?"

Old Meng was really at his wit’s end.

It had been so hard to get Chiang Xiao to agree, and now this brat won’t agree himself?

"Grandpa, I’ve already discussed it with Little. We’ll deal with everything once I’m back," Meng Xinian said, calming his tone. "You don’t need to worry too much. I’ll be fine."

"But you and Little clearly were going to..."

"Let’s not discuss this anymore. I won’t agree anyway." Meng Xinian stood up, "Have some tea, I’ll go help Little."

Watching him walk out, Old Meng let out a heavy sigh.

He was really about to be driven crazy.
