Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 298
Xinyan was taken aback, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "What’s this?"
He Jinxuan glanced at the iron box, "Part of my possessions."
Upon hearing this, Xinyan dared not accept it, "Then why are you giving it to me?"
He Jinxuan knew he was being a bit rash, but he just wanted to do it this way, "Xinyan, I’m serious about wanting to be in a relationship with you. I know I’m older than you and I’m raising two nephews, but I want you to know that even with them around, I can still provide for you and you won’t be worse off than anyone else."
Xinyan didn’t expect He Jinxuan to do this, but she herself was financially well off, and they were just starting their relationship, so she couldn’t possibly take his money.
But He Jinxuan didn’t leave room for her to refuse, "I know your acceptance letter might arrive soon, I don’t mean anything else by this. I just want to tell you to focus on your studies, I’ve got everything else covered. Since we’re dating, I’m aiming for marriage, so you can manage this however you’d like."
I have to say, his words really moved Xinyan.
She couldn’t help but reflect on her past life, where she couldn’t freely spend the money she earned. Someone who cares about you will think ahead for you, while someone who doesn’t will only disrespect you.
Seeing that she looked upset, He Jinxuan asked, "What’s wrong? Did I say something out of line?"
He then added, "I’m a straightforward person. If there’s anything I’ve said or done wrong, feel free to tell me directly."
Xinyan glanced at the iron box, "Brother He, I understand your intention, but I really can’t accept this since we’re not officially together yet."
However, He Jinxuan simply placed the iron box in her arms, "I want you to feel assured, and I also want to feel assured myself."
Xinyan understood the meaning behind his words, suddenly smiled, "Are you lacking confidence in yourself or in me?"
He Jinxuan rubbed his nose, "I just want to be good to you."
Xinyan looked at the iron box in her arms, "Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take your things and then disappear without returning?"
He Jinxuan looked up, "You’re not that kind of person."
Xinyan wanted to return the iron box to He Jinxuan, but he was determined to give it away, "Xinyan, keep it. I hope you won’t live worse than others. Buy whatever you need, don’t worry about saving for me. I can support you."
Seeing his hopeful eyes, Xinyan reassured him, "Alright, then I’ll keep it. I’ll spend it all and see if you’ll feel pained."
He Jinxuan was all smiles seeing her accept the money, "Spending money on you doesn’t hurt. I’ll work hard to earn more."
Xinyan chuckled, not taking his words too seriously, since his salary is fixed, and no matter how hard he works, the bonuses aren’t much.
She didn’t stay too long here. After exiting, she asked He Jinxuan to take the fruits out of the basket, "I separated some fruits, remember to let them eat. It’s so hot they won’t keep well."
He Jinxuan obediently took the fruits out.
Xinyan then picked up the basket, "Then I’ll head back first. You can collect the fruit basket later."
He Jinxuan saw her out to the gate, coincidentally calling the two nephews back home.
Ye Siyan watched Xinyan leaving, "Sis, aren’t you going to class anymore, can’t you stay?"
Xinyan laughed, "No, I can’t."
Ye Siyan couldn’t understand, looking towards his brother Ye Sili.
Ye Sili patted his brother’s head, "It’s too hot today, don’t make it hard for Sister."
Beside them, Sister Cheng teased, "If you want Sister Xinyan to stay at home, you’d have to be one family."
Ye Siyan raised his little head, "We are family."
Everyone laughed, and the returning Peng Family’s young wife from next door, Li Meijuan, casually said, "If Sister Xinyan becomes your aunt, then you’d be a family, and she wouldn’t have to leave."
Li Meijuan only meant to tease the children, but Ye Siyan took it seriously, "Uncle, let Sister Xinyan be aunt, okay?"
This made everyone suppress their laughter.
