Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 299

Li Meijuan, who had just made a joke to tease the kids, blushed instantly, fearing that He Jinxuan and Xinyan might be upset. She was about to say something to lighten the mood, when He Jinxuan laughed and said, "Then Uncle should work hard."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up. Sister Cheng clapped her thigh and said, "Director He, you two have a situation going on! I always thought you two seemed well-matched. I didn’t expect you were actually together."

He Jinxuan glanced at Xinyan. He was quite nervous inside, fearing that Xinyan might be unhappy. But since they were in a relationship, he wanted everyone to know.

While Xinyan felt a bit shy, she didn’t think He Jinxuan did anything wrong. After all, she agreed to be in a relationship, and eventually people should know. Now that it’s out in the open, they have a reason to interact in the future.

Seeing that Xinyan wasn’t angry, He Jinxuan continued, "Yes, we just confirmed our relationship, so I have to work hard."

Li Meijuan was no longer embarrassed and smiled, saying, "Did I do a good thing then?"

He Jinxuan had never interacted much with this Li Meijuan before, but he was familiar with her husband, Peng Ruiqiang. Like Lu Haibo, he worked in the factory’s transport team, and they had shared drinks a few times before. "Thank you."

Li Meijuan is a nurse, originally from the city, and often appeared aloof. She married into the Mechanical Factory a year ago and rarely interacted with her neighbors. Today, for some unknown reason, she randomly commented as she passed by.

Unexpectedly, Ye Siyan, the little guy, asked directly right in front of everyone. She was initially worried that the two concerned individuals might be annoyed, but never expected the usually stern Director He to admit it directly.

Before she could say anything else, He Jinxuan spoke to Xinyan, "It’s too hot today, let’s go. I’ll help carry your basket."

He turned to Ye Silai, who was still in a daze, and said, "Take your little brother home; it’s time for a nap. Uncle will be back soon."

He originally wanted to say he would return after sending Sister Xinyan home, but realizing that they’re in a relationship now, it felt inappropriate. This matter would need to be discussed privately with them.

After the two left, Ye Siyan tilted his head and looked at his brother, "I don’t understand."

Before Ye Silai could speak, Li Meijuan watched He Jinxuan and Xinyan’s departing backs and said, "You two might really become family in the future."

Ye Siyan widened his eyes, "Really?"

Sister Cheng, fearing Li Meijuan might say something inappropriate, quickly stood up and said, "Really. Your uncle is working hard. You two are lucky. It’s getting late; it’s time for your nap."

Their words weren’t just heard by Granny Xie in the Xie Family’s courtyard, but also by Bai Cuilin in the Qiao Family’s courtyard. She spat towards the outside and said, "A real seductress."

Previously, when she helped at Director He’s house, she offered to introduce a prospective match, but Director He coldly refused. Not long after, he got into a relationship with that seductress Xinyan.

Meanwhile, Granny Xie was overjoyed to hear Xinyan and Director He were in a relationship. She had always been close to Xinyan, and if Xinyan truly married in, neighborly relations would surely be harmonious.

He Jinxuan escorted her all the way to the entrance before speaking, "Xinyan, you’re not angry, are you?"

Xinyan smiled at him and said, "Why would I be angry? There’s nothing secretive about us being in a relationship."

He Jinxuan felt relieved hearing this, and without hesitation, pulled her into a hug, "Thank you. I’ll work hard to give you a good life."

But he quickly loosened his grip, fearing his suddenness might scare Xinyan.

Even though she was given a second chance, Xinyan still felt shy, "We’re not married yet, you’re speaking too soon."

He Jinxuan, however, was serious, "No, it’s not too soon. You rest; I’ll head out."

Having said that, he turned and briskly walked away, fearing his heart would leap out. If he didn’t leave, he might do something rash, scaring Xinyan.

Xinyan, her face warm, entered her space and opened the iron box, only to be utterly shocked.
