Chapter 3200: Chapter 3136: Do You Want to Take a Bath

"Let them be. If they can get used to staying at the old mansion, that’s good."

Meng Xinian felt that if there was anything putting pressure on Chiang Songhai and the others, it was probably that their perceived "son-in-law" didn’t regard them as parents-in-law, but treated them like unrelated strangers, making it difficult for them to get close.

So that’s what made them feel pressured.

Meng Xinian and Jiang Xiao knew the truth, understood that there was indeed no actual relationship between them, and if it weren’t for Sixth Young Master Jiang’s kind-heartedness, he might have even directed his resentment towards Chen Zhu to them.

Though Chiang Songhai and the others raised Jiang Xiao, understanding what Jiang Xiao went through in her childhood still left him somewhat angry and resentful.

Sixth Young Master Jiang, despite appearing gentle and refined, was frequently haunted by dreams of Jiang Xiao’s tragic death, worrying she might have suffered unimaginable hardships. His heart ached for Jiang Xiao, like a knife twisting in him, and he felt they hadn’t taught or protected her properly.

A father, in this regard, may be a bit irrational.

But Sixth Young Master was self-disciplined, merely lacking enthusiasm towards them, otherwise everything seemed fine.

But this was already enough to make Chiang Songhai and others feel some pressure.

It was precisely because of Sixth Young Master’s attitude that Ge Liutao dared not mention anything about the hope that "if Chen Zhu could return and the family be reunited" in front of him.

Old Master Jiang’s attitude followed that of Sixth Young Master. Since he was distant towards them, naturally, he sided with his grandson.

Jiang Xiao didn’t say much either.

If they could continue staying at the Meng Family Old Mansion, Old Meng might be pleased. He always felt the house was too empty, but now with children around, he surely wouldn’t feel too lonely anymore.

"So what do we do tonight?" Jiang Xiao temporarily put them aside and looked at Meng Xinian.

Even if Chiang Songhai and the others didn’t return, there would still be quite a few people for dinner tonight.

Old Master Jiang, Sixth Young Master, Cheng Cheng, Sun Han, and maybe Jiang Yingqiong would join, so there would be a whole table.

"How about we go buy groceries and cook ourselves?"

Meng Xinian disagreed.

"It’s our first wedding day."

If it were just two or three dishes, it would be fine, but preparing a whole table, even with his help, she’d still be exhausted.

"Then what? Should we go out too?"

"I’ve already asked Ding Haijing to bring the chef over. They’ll wash and chop the vegetables there, then cook them fresh at our place."

Seeing Jiang Xiao getting a bit anxious, Meng Xinian finally revealed the plan.

Jiang Xiao playfully punched him, "Why didn’t you say so earlier!"

Did he want to see her worry?

Meng Xinian hugged her, pecked her lips with a smile, and said, "Do you want to take a shower now?"

This was also his suggestion for her.

After a night of exercise, her body was sweaty and had dried, and she also had other things on her.

The usually attentive Jiang Xiao somehow didn’t think of it today.

"Do I smell bad?" Jiang Xiao immediately sniffed herself.

Then she detected a rather ambiguous scent, and her face flushed red.

It certainly wasn’t just sweat!
