Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3194: Chapter 3130: So Romantic

"Okay, okay, no, I don’t need it, you go shower first, I’ll tidy up a bit here."

He could tell she was more or less a little nervous, so he was willing to give her this bit of buffer time.

Jiang Xiao practically fled in a panic under his smiling gaze.

She hurried all the way into the bathroom, locked the door, leaned against it, and felt her heart pounding wildly, completely unable to calm down.

She’d thought that since they’d already been so intimate before, she shouldn’t be this nervous anymore, but she hadn’t expected herself to still be so unbearably tense.

Just now, the moment her eyes met his, she felt her whole body heat up, going weak and limp.

"No, no, come on, Jiang Xiao, you can’t be such a wuss, you’ve lived this long already, you can’t be this cowardly about something like this."

Jiang Xiao patted her face lightly with cold water, forcing herself to calm down as much as possible.

While she was in the bathroom doing her psychological prep work, Meng Xinian calmly finished straightening up the room, put away all the alcohol they’d brought, left just one bottle, took two glasses, carried them into the bedroom, and set them on the bed.

He was finally going to be able to use this bridal room.

He’d been setting it up for so long, waiting for so long, and now at last he could finally use it.

No matter which room it was, he still felt this bridal room he’d arranged suited his taste the best, and it looked very festive.

There was a white porcelain vase sitting on the windowsill, with roses that Jiang Xiao had cut from the garden in her Space stuck in it, their faint fragrance filling the room, intoxicating.

He turned off the lights and lit the candles he’d prepared beforehand.

On the floor, on the table, by the head of the bed, and on the windowsill, he lit candles—red ones.

He’d gotten all these ready a long time ago, he’d just never told Jiang Xiao he’d made such preparations.

He hadn’t learned this from anywhere; he honestly didn’t have that many romantic cells in him. He just wanted, on this night, to really see clearly every inch of his wife’s skin, but if the lights were too bright he was sure Jiang Xiao would definitely get shy.

If she got shy and wouldn’t let him look, wouldn’t he be at a loss?

So in the end, thinking it over, he came up with this idea.

For a wedding, you’re supposed to have red candles anyway, right?

He cut the longer red candles down into small sections, one short piece after another, so there would be lots of candles to place in every direction. And since each piece was short, it wouldn’t burn for too long; just right for them to slowly go out after he’d finished with Jiang Xiao.

How perfect.

As far as Meng Xinian was concerned, there was no way he’d still have the time to go blow each candle out one by one.

He’d even put his talent for calculations to use in something like this.

Jiang Xiao had no idea; if she found out, she’d definitely be torn between laughing and crying.

At first it was just this simple idea, but once all the candles were lit, Meng Xinian suddenly felt that in the darkness the warm orange candlelight was really beautiful.

Even a tough, iron-blooded man like him inexplicably felt a trace of romance.

Maybe his wife would like it?

If she really liked it, that would be a pleasant surprise.

Jiang Xiao did indeed like it.

She’d actually already guessed that on this night Meng Xinian wouldn’t like turning off all the lights. On those previous nights, he’d already shown that he liked looking at her with some light around.

So she’d been a bit nervous the whole time.

But after she showered and came out, seeing the whole room full of candlelight, she couldn’t help feeling genuinely delighted.

A quiet night, a room full of warm, flickering candlelight.

Under the hazy glow, his striking, handsome features were overlaid with a layer of tenderness.

"Brother Xinian..."
