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

Chapter 805: Chapter 805: I’m Not Bragging

When it was time for the meal, everyone gathered together. He Jinxuan looked at everyone present and said, "After dinner, everyone should rest early. No more going out to mess around. If anyone delays the return trip, don’t blame me for kicking you out."

He always emphasized this because a few in the team never knew how to control themselves. Without a reminder, they would likely mess around until late at night again, affecting the team’s schedule and compromising safety.

In Beijing, Xinyan left school at noon and took a leave of absence.

Jiang Peiqin, knowing she took leave, came after her, "Xinyan, did something happen that you need to take the afternoon off?"

Xinyan saw Jiang Peiqin’s nervousness and whispered, "Don’t worry. It’s nothing major. I just need to have lunch at my mentor’s place. My fourth senior brother returned to the Capital, so I took the afternoon off."

Except for Jiang Peiqin, no one at school knew Xinyan was studying medicine because when she previously minored in French, she received a lot of sarcastic remarks, so she didn’t want to draw more attention again.

Jiang Peiqin felt relieved after hearing her explanation.

It wasn’t unwarranted for her to worry. The main reason was that a few days ago, when the two of them were alone by the lake, they discovered someone was stalking them.

But by the time they attempted to catch up, the person had disappeared. However, they were certain they weren’t mistaken. They just didn’t know if the stalker was targeting Jiang Peiqin or Xinyan, making her more sensitive.

Xinyan patted Jiang Peiqin’s hand, "You know my skills. Even if those people are after me, I’ll make sure they don’t return."

Jiang Peiqin thought of a previous incident where a girl was followed in the compound and was caught off guard, "Be sure not to let your guard down."

Xinyan gave her a sincere smile, "Alright, you too."

After parting with Jiang Peiqin, Xinyan hurried to her mentor’s house.

As soon as she reached the gate, she heard Mr. Du’s voice, "Set the table. Xinyan should be arriving soon."

Upon entering the courtyard, she heard Mr. Du say, "Your younger sister should arrive shortly."

Just as he finished speaking, a bright voice chimed in, "This seminar will last a week, and since our younger sister is so talented in medicine, why not bring her along to broaden her horizons?"

Mr. Du proudly replied, "I’m not boasting, but no one can match your younger sister’s talent in medicine."

At this point, senior brother Ma Chengxi chimed in, "Mentor, that’s true. You don’t need to keep demoralizing us. After all, it is to our credit that we have such a talented medical genius among us as our sister."

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Listening to their conversation, Xinyan felt quite pleased and shouted towards the house, "Mentor, Mistress, I’m back."

Mr. Du, upon hearing Xinyan’s voice, said loudly, "See, what did I tell you?"

Just then, Xinyan also pushed the door open, "Fourth senior brother, long time no see."

Qian Wanning looked at Xinyan, "It’s not been that long, but our younger sister has become even prettier."

Xinyan entered the room with a smile, "No way, fourth senior brother, you flatter me too much."

Shen Guqing gave Xinyan a once-over and said, "No joke, the junior brother wasn’t lying. Xinyan has indeed changed."

Du Lingyun leaned over at this moment, "Xinyan, how do you usually take care of your skin? It’s like a peeled egg, almost poreless and truly enviable."

Xinyan laughed, "I like to concoct some creams myself. If you don’t mind, I’ll bring some over for you to try."
