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

Chapter 757: Chapter 757: You Little Heartless Thing

The next day, Xinyan had to go back to school for classes. Since Granny Zhang was still in her recovery period, Xinyan had already agreed with her to temporarily stay there while Sister Chen took care of her, so everyone was relieved.

Originally, Han Jingchen planned to drive the young lady to school, but to their surprise, when they stepped out of the door, they saw He Jinxuan standing outside.

Xinyan exclaimed in surprise, "Jinxuan, you’re back!"

He Jinxuan looked at her and said, "Yes, I came back last night."

While speaking, he nodded toward Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing, "Uncle, Auntie, I’ll take Xinyan to school today, you two can get on with your own matters."

Han Jingchen indeed had been very busy these past few days, and Gu Wanqing was also occupied with company matters.

Since the engagement was set, it wasn’t right to trouble others: "Alright, you can take her then."

After saying goodbye to her parents, Xinyan directly got into He Jinxuan’s car.

But shortly after the car turned onto the street, He Jinxuan stopped: "Yanyan, it’s still early. There aren’t many cars on this road. Why don’t you drive for a while?"

Xinyan naturally wouldn’t refuse; she was quite addicted to driving.

In her past life, she had always envied seeing women driving themselves around. Since fate had given her another chance, she wanted to do everything she’d wished for, making it worthwhile to be reborn into this world.

With previous experience, aside from initial discomfort, she drove quite smoothly afterward.

Seeing her drive well, He Jinxuan felt relieved: "Yanyan, is the stove connected to the hearth wall in the small courtyard lit?"

Xinyan looked straight ahead and shook her head: "Not yet, I can light it when I return at noon. There’s plenty of time in the afternoon to warm up the house."

He Jinxuan continued to ask, "Are you going straight to school or stopping at the small courtyard first?"

Xinyan turned the car and then replied, "Directly to school."

Upon hearing this, He Jinxuan said, "Then give me the key to the small courtyard. I’ll light the kitchen stove for you; you can come back to the courtyard for lunch."

Xinyan was delighted: "Are you off today?"

He Jinxuan responded with a soft "Mm": "I have a two-day break. I’ll cook for you at the small courtyard these days, so you can just come back to a ready meal."

Xinyan was even happier: "That sounds great. I was planning to just eat at the cafeteria with my classmates."

He Jinxuan’s eyes were filled with indulgence: "I’ll be playing the chef at the small courtyard for the next few days."

Hearing this, Xinyan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He Jinxuan briefly mentioned to Xinyan the changes he had noticed during his recent trip: "Yanyan, I feel like major changes are going to happen soon."

Xinyan glanced sideways at He Jinxuan. She had to admit, he was pretty perceptive: "With economic system reforms and a new direction for economic development, changes are bound to happen. I’ve been thinking about opening a small shop."

He Jinxuan was surprised by Xinyan’s forward thinking: "Are you serious?"

Xinyan nodded, "Yes, I’m thinking of scouting for a street-side place suitable for a storefront. If it seems right, I’ll buy it. That way, as my little business starts booming, I won’t have to worry about someone pulling the rug out from under me by not renewing the lease, essentially making me toil for someone else’s gain."

Hearing Xinyan’s words, He Jinxuan felt an overwhelming sense of excitement. His little girl truly had foresight: "You’re right. I’ll keep an eye out and ask around for you."

As they chatted, they arrived at the school.

Xinyan parked the car a little farther from the school; she didn’t want to be gawked at: "I’ll get off here."

Seeing she was about to leave, He Jinxuan grabbed her: "You heartless little thing, leaving just like that?"
