CHAPTER 2080: CHAPTER 2016: ONLY ONE THING ON MY MIND

"I know." Meng Xinian looked at her steadily. Of course, he knew she was willing to marry him, but not today, not now.

Right now, her heart was filled with worry and concern, and going to complete the formalities with him seemed like it was just to save him from waiting. What about her own feelings?

"Little, I hope that when we go to get married together, our moods will be in sync. Our minds will only be on this one thing—we’ll go register together, excited and relaxed, and after registration, we can happily experience the change in our identities."

Meng Xinian reached out to tuck a stray lock of her hair behind her ear, and couldn’t help but pat her head, "But right now, you’re more worried about Uncle Six. After we register, you’ll definitely want to rush back to the hospital."

"Brother Xinian, I..." Chiang Xiao wanted to explain a few words, but when she thought about it, he wasn’t wrong. They could go register now, but Ah Liu would inevitably occupy more of her thoughts, and even tonight’s banquet might not bring her peace of mind.

She swallowed the words she wanted to explain, "I’m sorry."

"Silly girl, there’s nothing to apologize for. If you didn’t want to marry me because of your own reasons, only then would you need to apologize."

Meng Xinian sighed.

When he woke up this morning, he had a faint and inexplicable feeling. Now it seemed he was right.

He had been anticipating for so long and waiting for so long, yet it still couldn’t be completed. To say he wasn’t disappointed would be impossible, but he really didn’t want to force Chiang Xiao, nor did he want her to feel the slightest regret.

At this moment, she surely wished she could stay by her father’s side every step of the way.

In the end, he was also a bit worried.

If... something were to happen to Ah Liu in the hospital while they were out, how would Little live with herself for the rest of her life?

He didn’t want any regrets in their marriage either.

"How about tomorrow we..."

Before Chiang Xiao could finish her sentence, she caught sight of Ah Liu being pushed out over there. She had been paying close attention to that side, and seeing the commotion, she forgot what she was about to say and hurriedly ran over.

"Dad!"

Hearing her voice, Ah Liu weakly opened his eyes and watched her run over to him.

Behind her was Meng Xinian.

He saw Meng Xinian’s gaze, steadfastly following Chiang Xiao’s back, carrying both affection and a touch of helplessness.

Just by seeing Meng Xinian’s eyes, he guessed they hadn’t gone to complete the marriage formalities as planned.

Ah Liu couldn’t help but sigh internally.

He ultimately delayed them.

"Little, you just got back?"

Chiang Xiao ran to the side of his stretcher, held his hand, and followed the stretcher to the ward. "Yeah, just got back."

"What time is it now? Did you and Xinian go handle the formalities?"

Chiang Xiao quickly turned around, seeing Meng Xinian, who had taken over pushing the bed from the nurse, and stuck her tongue out at him sheepishly.

Meng Xinian responded to Ah Liu, "Uncle Six, let’s choose another good day. It seems today’s date wasn’t right."

"Is it because of me?" Ah Liu said, "You can go do the formalities now. I’m feeling much better."

"Dad, let’s wait until after your surgery." Chiang Xiao decided, still opting to wait until after his surgery.

"But..." Ah Liu furrowed his brows. Does he need surgery?

"Doctor Nick will be here tomorrow, Dad. We’ll hear his opinion then." Chiang Xiao said adamantly.

Ah Liu felt somewhat helpless too.

He realized Little also had a very determined side.
