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

Chapter 885: Chapter 885: You Can’t Go Back on Your Word

Thinking about it, he’s already twenty-six this year. People his age already have several kids. Even though he promised Yanyan to wait until she graduates from college to get married, he’s always wanted to bring her into the nest as soon as possible.

When Xinyan heard this, she remembered what Jiang Peiqin said to her a few days ago, that the Ling Family is urging marriage, which is actually quite similar to their situation. From their perspective, it’s understandable to have such thoughts.

After all, it’s not like later generations. Getting married at seventeen or eighteen is very normal, and once you’re over twenty, people start to talk. There are very few like He Jinxuan, who’s twenty-six and still unmarried.

Looking at the hopeful expression on He Jinxuan’s face, Xinyan felt uneasy. Is she being too selfish, not considering his perspective?

The atmosphere was a bit delicate for a moment.

Just then, her little cousin, Sun Zhenhai, ran out: "Dinner’s ready."

His shout brought them back to reality, breaking their individual thoughts.

Xinyan replied to her little cousin, "Coming."

After she spoke, she looked at He Jinxuan.

She didn’t miss the look in He Jinxuan’s eyes, and recalling what his mom said during their engagement brought a hint of guilt to her heart.

By the time she came back to her senses, He Jinxuan had already pulled her off the swing, his face full of affection, whispering in her ear: "Even though I want to drag you home as soon as possible, I always remember my promise to you. It’s fine to follow your plan, but I’ll try my luck from time to time."

He didn’t expect Xinyan to surprisingly reply: "Depends on your performance."

After saying this, she smiled and got ready to leave.

Xinyan had figured it out. There was no need to wait until she graduates to get married. Everything she’s worried about will happen naturally.

But she mused, if Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing knew, they’d definitely be so angry they’d feel it in their liver.

When He Jinxuan finally processed this, his expression became quite colorful, pulling her back: "What did you just say?"

Seeing his reaction, Xinyan smirked: "Good words don’t repeat. If you didn’t hear it clearly, just pretend I didn’t say anything."

He Jinxuan had waited so long for Xinyan to relent, so he couldn’t agree to that: "I heard you, loud and clear. You can’t go back on your words."

Xinyan gave him a look that said ’depends on your performance,’ slipped out of his grasp, and strode into the house.

She thought she might need to prepare her parents in advance.

But there’s no rush on that, better to discuss it later.

He Jinxuan was in a particularly good mood now, recalling how earlier Zhenhai mentioned his pen nib was broken. He took out twenty yuan: "Take this and buy yourself a pen."

This act left Sun Zhenhai, still standing at the doorway, a bit puzzled. Before he could react, He Jinxuan stuffed the money into his hands: "Take it."

Saying this, He Jinxuan directly stepped into the house.

Sun Zhenhai looked at the two ten-yuan notes in his hand, then at He Jinxuan who had already gone inside: What’s going on?

He then followed inside, intending to ask, but his mom slapped him on the back: "What are you wandering around for? Find a seat already. You’re not a kid anymore."

Rubbing his slapped head, Sun Zhenhai thought: What did I do to deserve this? Is she really my mom?

Han Chunxue saw her younger son’s expression: "Stop fooling around and get moving."

Hearing this, Sun Zhenhai thought, Maybe I should just obediently find a seat, scared his mom might slap him again, which wouldn’t be worth it.

Han Jingchen said a few words, and only then did everyone start eating.

They chatted about family, work, and shared laughs, creating a really harmonious atmosphere.

After dinner, it wasn’t too late. Neither family lingered, helping with the cleanup and getting ready to leave.

These days both uncle and older brother’s workplaces have cars available for use, and occasionally using them isn’t an issue. After all, other colleagues also use the cars for personal matters. Being too much of an outlier might actually make others see you as aloof and unsociable.

In the past, they might have stayed over.

But now, everyone knows Gu Wanqing enjoys her peace, especially now that she’s pregnant. Plus, the two older sister-in-laws aren’t keen to stay overnight here, so there was a mutual understanding to leave together.
