Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1089: Chapter 1089: Won’t Tell Anyone

"Uncle."

Chenchen’s soft, sweet voice rang out as she wandered around looking for Lian Qingyang, clutching her doll.

After much difficulty, she finally found him, only to see Lian Qingyang kissing Jin Yan. She walked over with her little short legs, looking puzzled.

Wearing cloth shoes, her steps were light, and when she got close, Chenchen stared curiously at Lian Qingyang, asking, "Uncle, why are you biting Auntie’s lips? Does Auntie have something tasty in her mouth? Is it good?"

"Chenchen."

Jin Yan, her face flushing, looked at Chenchen. She had been completely led astray by Lian Qingyang just now, lost in a daze, and didn’t notice that Chenchen was there too. She buried her head in Lian Qingyang’s chest, screaming internally: Embarrassing, so embarrassing.

"Chenchen."

Instinctively pulling Jin Yan into his arms, Lian Qingyang also felt awkward, but faced with Chenchen’s bright, sparkling eyes, he cleared his throat and said, "Chenchen, you saw it wrong. Your aunt had something in her eye, and I was blowing it for her."

"Uncle, you’re lying." Chenchen puffed her cheeks and said, "I clearly saw you biting Auntie’s lips."

’Tsk’

Lian Qingyang’s waist was pinched hard. Keeping a straight face, he reached out and took Chenchen’s hand, saying, "Chenchen, Uncle didn’t bite."

"You did," Chenchen firmly insisted.

Lian Qingyang’s dark eyes rolled, and he said, "It’s Uncle and Auntie cultivating their feelings. But Chenchen, don’t tell anyone, and Uncle will buy you a Barbie doll set, the one you love the most."

"Really?" Chenchen skeptically asked, "Didn’t Uncle say that set is abroad and can’t be bought?"

Chenchen’s doubtful expression seemed to ask: Uncle, do you think you can just fool me like that?

Lian Qingyang thought to himself: Normally, this child is easygoing, so why is she so hard to coax now?

"Chenchen, besides that Barbie doll set, Uncle will get you a house as well, saving it for your dowry."

"Uncle." Chenchen looked at Lian Qingyang with distaste and said, "Mom said that nobility is not to be used for corruption, and one shouldn’t lie and be a bad child. But..."

Stretching her tone, Chenchen’s large eyes darted around, and she said, "But if you want me not to tell about you biting Auntie’s lips, then when Mother punishes me, you have to help me."

"Okay."

Lian Qingyang agreed immediately.

Chenchen reminded him, "Uncle, the things you promised me can’t be less."

"Alright, I guarantee there won’t be any less."

After successfully placating Chenchen and getting her to go play, Jin Yan, who was still buried in his embrace, emerged and pushed Lian Qingyang away. She said, "Lian Xiaoyang, you’ve completely embarrassed me."

Jin Yan was both shy and annoyed, her resolve really wasn’t enough. Had she not half-heartedly indulged and failed to firmly refuse, Chenchen wouldn’t have caught them like this.

Ah...

If Chenchen did spill the beans, she’d be utterly mortified.

The more Jin Yan thought about it, the angrier she became.

Lian Qingyang softly coaxed her, saying, "Gold, don’t worry. Chenchen isn’t a blabbermouth; she won’t tell anyone."

"Really?" Jin Yan was skeptical. Though Chenchen usually wasn’t a blabbermouth, was a child really capable of keeping secrets?

"Of course it’s true. Chenchen never speaks about things she promised not to tell."

Lian Qingyang stated confidently.

Jin Yan seemed to believe him, but she would no longer want to be alone with Lian Qingyang, let alone let him have his way.

She deliberately waited until her face wasn’t so red before going to find Tang Yue, otherwise, without saying anything, it would tell everyone what she had just been up to.

Due to the upcoming engagement, as soon as Jin Yan arrived at the studio, she was teased by the people there, and the blush that had just faded instantly turned back to a rosy sunset-like glow.

The closer the engagement day approached, the busier Tang Yue became, preparing for the last checks and modifications ahead of the fashion show in F Country, while also helping Zhang Hualian prepare the engagement banquet.

Her mother-in-law, Mo Xiaolin, having no classes, knew about Lian Qingyang’s upcoming marriage and volunteered to help.

Old Sir Lian, full of joy every day, took Zaozao and Chenchen, along with Gai Yu and Gushu. Looking at these young children, Old Sir Lian could only feel happiness and contentment.

"Zaozao, shall we compete a bit?" Gai Yu, who usually lost, saw Zaozao and clenched his fists.

"You’re no match for me." Zaozao’s gaze was calm, fully inheriting Meng Siyu’s composed nature.

Unconvinced, Gai Yu puffed his little face and said, "I will definitely surpass you."

Gai Yu made a move right away, and Zaozao responded with ease. Though both were young, the way they sparred was serious and focused, looking very much like the real thing.

Old Sir Lian happily acted as the referee, and for the losing Gai Yu, he comforted him by saying, "Little Yu, you’re younger than Zaozao. You need to eat more food to gain more strength."

"Grandpa." Gai Yu pouted, hearing the same advice every time from Grandpa.

Lian He was kept busy, arranging everything from booking the hotel to planning the day’s menu and discussing the dowry, much like a spinning top.

Lian He’s two cousins hadn’t arrived yet, but their children were already there.

Lian Qingxuan, Lian Qingzhi, Lian Qingling, Lian Qingpei, and Lian Qinghang all came. With so many people, there wasn’t enough room, so they stayed at Jinyang’s villa, making the Tang Family lively again.

After going through a divorce, Lian Qingxuan had thrown herself completely into Qingmeiren. Nowadays, Qingmeiren is a well-known skincare product in Huaxia, with a good reputation and steady sales.

"Sister Xuan, you look even more beautiful." Tang Yue exclaimed exaggeratedly. After the divorce, Lian Qingxuan didn’t languish; instead, she became even more confident and attractive.

"Xiao Yue, don’t tease me. You’re the pretty one."

Lian Qingxuan chuckled and said, "And we also have these two beautiful sisters of ours."

Lian Qingxuan pulled over Lian Qingzhi and Lian Qingling, who were in their early twenties, blossoming like beautiful flowers.

"Yes, these two beautiful sisters, I wonder which lucky person will get them in the future." Tang Yue jested, enjoying her time with the Lian sisters.

"Sister Xiao Yue, you love to tease us."

Lian Qingzhi and Lian Qingling, feeling a little shy, had just graduated, and discussing such matters seemed a bit early.

At Tang Yue’s house, it was bustling with everyone gathering for Lian Qingyang’s engagement banquet.

In contrast, things weren’t going well on Shen Qingqing’s side. After Meng Siyu resolved Hei Biao’s matter, his investigation led him to Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing consistently denied involvement, pushing the blame onto Sun Rou, who was clueless about the situation, only tenuously aware it was related to Jinyu Lane.

She had gone to Jinyu Lane only for shoe supplies, not doing anything else.
