Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 987: You Said It Yourself, No Backsies

Xinyan cheerfully said goodbye to them and walked briskly towards the courtyard.

Along the way, she thought about Tang Congrong and reminded herself: Whether or not she’s connected to those people, she must remain vigilant, as those grasshoppers after autumn will still be jumping around for so ti. She mustn’t be careless.

When she reached the alley entrance, she happened to run into Zhan Ming.

There was a woman following behind him, and this ti Xinyan could see clearly. She wasn’t very pretty, but gave off a good impression.

Xinyan thought: This might be the widow Li Gaiyun ntioned, Zhan Ming’s current partner Ge Suhua, whom he’s dating with marriage intentions.

Zhan Ming greeted Xinyan with a smile, "Hey, little landlord, you’re back?"

Xinyan nodded while saying, "Uncle Song, we live in the sa alley, so we’re sort of familiar with each other. You can just call by my na. Also, regarding the shop issues, I don’t want everyone to know about them."

Zhan Ming paused for a mont before quickly responding, "I understand, I understand."

Then he pointed at the woman beside him and introduced, "This is Comrade Ge Suhua, my partner. We’re holding our wedding next Wednesday. If you have ti, co for a celebratory drink."

Xinyan smiled and offered her blessings, "Sure, unless sothing unexpected cos up, I’ll definitely be there. Congratulations."

Ge Suhua graciously said, "Thank you."

They still had things to do, so they hurried off after a brief greeting.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, the aroma of food wafted towards her.

From the kitchen, He Jinxuan called out, "Yanyan, you’re back?"

Xinyan smiled as she walked into the kitchen, seeing the man wearing an apron, scrubbing a wok. Her heart felt a surge of warmth. Although this man wasn’t very handso, he was robust.

He could earn money, cook, and was ticulous. His muscular physique was eye-catching, hehe.

Seeing her stand there motionless, He Jinxuan turned and saw Xinyan’s expression, "What, are you captivated?"

Xinyan smiled, walked closer, and hugged him from behind, resting her face against He Jinxuan’s back, "Mm, n who focus on their work are very charming."

He Jinxuan felt his whole body tense up and thought of sothing, "How about we get the marriage certificate early? That way, I can live here openly to take care of you, and not have to leave at night. Would you consider it?"

Upon hearing this, Xinyan stiffened as she hugged He Jinxuan’s arm.

He Jinxuan sensed her change, "I was just saying, don’t think too much about it."

Xinyan thought about He Jinxuan’s age and wondered if she was being a bit selfish, "Was it really just a casual comnt?"

He Jinxuan paused his actions, washed his hands, turned around, and looked earnestly at Xinyan, "Yanyan, I don’t want to deceive you. I wish I could marry you right now. But I promised you back then, and I don’t want to break my word."

He finished speaking and pulled her tightly into his arms, whispering in her ear, "I want, when I’m not on assignnt, to be with you always, to pamper you, to cherish you."

Xinyan’s heart wasn’t made of stone, "Then it depends on whether you can persuade Comrades Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing."

He Jinxuan got excited upon hearing this, "What did you just say?"

Xinyan buried her head into He Jinxuan’s arms, "Didn’t hear anything, just pretend I didn’t say it."

He Jinxuan wouldn’t agree to that, "No, no, no, I heard it."

Saying that, he lifted Xinyan up and spun her around, "Yanyan, you said it, no take-backs."
