Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 399

Han Jingchen first gave Xinyan a big chicken leg: "Try it, this is your Aunt Chen from next door’s handiwork. If you find any dish you like, tell her later."

Xinyan nodded: "Okay."

He Jinxuan didn’t interrupt, quietly peeling shrimp. When he had peeled about half a small bowl, he handed it to Xinyan: "Eat some shrimp, you don’t have to get your hands dirty."

Han Jingchen was so busy talking to his daughter that he didn’t really pay attention to He Jinxuan’s actions. Now seeing the shrimp handed to Xinyan, he glared at He Jinxuan, but seeing how considerate he was, he didn’t say much.

He surely didn’t want his daughter talking about relationships this early, but since he was late by a step, and had only just found his daughter again, he didn’t want to upset her.

Of course, it was also because He Jinxuan, whether in character or ability, was still quite good, plus he treated his daughter well, that he reluctantly didn’t strongly oppose.

If it were someone with average character and ability, he would definitely find a way to ruin it.

He Jinxuan naturally felt the scrutiny from his future father-in-law, but he pretended not to notice, carefully picking out fish bones, then placing the fish meat in the bowl that he had put the shrimp in earlier.

Only then did he start eating his meal, and later when serving food to Xinyan, he used a public pair of chopsticks.

After several times, Han Jingchen couldn’t bear it anymore: "Alright, eat your own food, Yanyan can serve herself, stop showing off."

After saying that, he used the public chopsticks to place a piece of crispy meat into Xinyan’s bowl: "Try it, this is one of your Aunt Chen’s specialties."

He Jinxuan looked up and thought: It really is a double standard.

Han Jingchen turned his head directly and looked over: "Something wrong?"

He Jinxuan shook his head and began eating the rice in his bowl.

Han Jingchen pursed his lips, thinking: Of course, you wouldn’t dare.

Xinyan watched the interaction between the two, almost bursting into laughter at how childish they were.

Sitting and eating at the side, Su Jingsong quickly finished the rice in his bowl and found an excuse to slip away first. He didn’t want to be dragged out as a scapegoat later.

He Jinxuan didn’t want to irritate his future father-in-law, so he got up halfway through and served a bowl of soup to each of the father and daughter, not acting up anymore afterward.

Which made Han Jingchen quite satisfied.

After dinner, Han Jingchen took Xinyan for a walk around the yard, pointing to the flowers there: "These flowers here were planted by your mom herself back in the day, and those over there, I sought out the seeds and planted for her.

She loved flowers, so no matter where I went, as long as I encountered beautiful flowers, I would try to bring one back, just in the hope that one day your mom would come back, and I could give her a surprise."

Xinyan turned to look at Han Jingchen: "Dad, can you be sure mom will come back?"

Han Jingchen looked at the night ahead, exhaling lightly: "Yes, I believe as long as your mom is alive and has the chance, she will definitely come back. The two of us once agreed that no matter who goes missing, the other has to wait in place for her to return."

Actually, upon hearing this, Xinyan had some doubts. After all, it’s not just a few hours, days, or years, it could be decades or even a lifetime: "Dad, if, I mean if, my mom was forced to marry someone else, what would you do?"

Actually, after saying this, Xinyan regretted it. It’s such a cruel question.

Han Jingchen was silent for a long time: "If it really is like that, I would bless her. Her safety and wellbeing are more important than anything else."

Xinyan felt a pang in her nose: "Dad, I believe mom will come back to find us soon, and we will be reunited as a family."

Afraid her words would hurt her dad, she added: "Dad, sorry, I shouldn’t have said that."

Seeing Xinyan’s face full of guilt, Han Jingchen raised his hand to stroke his daughter’s hair: "It’s okay. Being able to be with your mom already makes me very content. Even though we haven’t been together these years, neither my love nor longing for her has diminished in the slightest. No matter what the future holds, I’m thankful I found you, and I thank your mom for that."

Xinyan didn’t know whether in her previous life, her mom had come back or looked for them, but she hoped her dad could be happy in this lifetime. The original course had already changed. She hoped for a miracle, looking up at her dad: "I will stay with you and wait for mom to come back."
