Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 1261: Chapter 1261: It’s Done

Xinyan smiled with her eyes and hooked her arm through her senior’s. "Of course I missed you, so I came over."

Shen Guqing tapped her on the forehead. "I’d have to be a ghost to believe that."

Xinyan chuckled. "Knew I couldn’t fool you, Senior."

Shen Guqing looked at He Jinxuan. "Jinxuan, are you off today?"

He Jinxuan nodded to her. "Yes, I’m off today and tomorrow."

Xinyan spoke up then. "Senior, when will you finally be done with work?"

Shen Guqing glanced at the watch on her wrist. "I’ve only got half an hour now, then I’ve got two more surgeries."

Back then Xinyan didn’t choose to study medicine precisely because being a doctor was really too exhausting—not to mention standing for hours for one surgery, sometimes they also had to face the families’ lack of understanding.

On top of that, doctors had to work overtime all the time. She just wanted to live more freely in this life, more comfortably.

But in the end she still hadn’t escaped it. Fortunately, she still didn’t see this as her ultimate goal. Those professors had tried to brainwash her plenty of times, and every time she would leave them so exasperated that they hated that iron couldn’t turn into steel.

They ended up too lazy to nag her anymore, but the number of times they dragged her into the operating room kept going up week by week.

She figured it had to be the result of some collective discussion—they’d switched to a new tactic, trying to make her get used to it and assimilate her as a group.

So as not to waste her senior’s time, Xinyan said to He Jinxuan, "Jinxuan, take the food that Granny Zhang sent for Senior to her office. I’ll just say a few words to her."

He Jinxuan didn’t object. Carrying the big and small bags, he headed toward Shen Guqing’s office. He knew his wife was here on a mission today.

Uncle Shanzi liked Shen Guqing and had always been too embarrassed to say it. Now that he’d finally mustered up the courage for once, of course He Jinxuan was all for it.

Seeing He Jinxuan leave, Xinyan pulled Shen Guqing to a slightly secluded corner. "Senior, how long are you and my Uncle Shanzi planning to drag this out?"

Hearing that, Shen Guqing’s face instantly turned bright red, but she didn’t dodge the topic. "I wanted to hear your opinion."

Xinyan leaned her head on Shen Guqing’s shoulder. "Senior, don’t worry about what other people think. Just listen to your own heart."

She knew her senior still had a mental block when it came to marriage. "Senior, my Uncle Shanzi is a good man, and Granny Zhang is easy to get along with too. The most important thing is that both of them treat you well. I think you’ll definitely be happy if you marry into their family.

But that’s just how I see it. You and Uncle Shanzi have been together for a while now—how do you feel?"

Shen Guqing was still a bit embarrassed, but facing her own junior she didn’t put on any airs. "He’s very responsible, and he’s attentive and considerate. Being with him gives you a real sense of security.

I honestly admit I like him a lot, but I’m also a little scared.

He’s the only son of the Zhang Family, so of course they’ll want him to marry and have children as soon as possible. But I had a miscarriage before, my body was hurt, and with my age now, I’m afraid if I can’t..."

She didn’t finish, but Xinyan understood what she meant. "Senior, I get where you’re coming from, but don’t you think you’re overthinking it?

Leaving aside how Master already helped nurse your health back, you’re really not that old."

In later years there were more and more women marrying late; her senior was only in her thirties, having a child was completely doable.

To put it bluntly, her senior just hadn’t walked out of the shadow of her last marriage; mentally she more or less had some issues. "Senior, if the feelings are mutual, why tangle yourself up in things that haven’t even happened yet?

Besides, Master and I are your backup. What is there to be afraid of? You said yourself you’re not that young anymore—are you really going to keep dragging it out and wasting time?"

All of a sudden, Shen Guqing felt as if her mind had cleared. She realized she really had been overthinking it. Yes, she and Zhang Yueshan were both no spring chickens anymore. Since he didn’t mind her, what was she still being so pretentious about?

She suddenly laughed. "Yanyan, thank you. I really let my own thoughts blind me."

Watching Xinyan and He Jinxuan leave, Shen Guqing jogged all the way back to her office, directly dialed a number, and said, "Hello, could you please transfer me to extension 3286?"

Someone picked up on the other end. "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Hearing the voice on the other end, Shen Guqing took a deep breath. "Zhang Yueshan, I agree."

After hearing the clatter and crash from the other side of the line, she hung up the phone.
