Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 440

The day after tomorrow, it’s time to register at the university. Today, Xinyan started to organize her things. Although Han Jingchen arranged a house near the university for her, her cousin Sun Zhenling called and said she found out that unless there are special circumstances, freshmen are required to live on campus for the first semester.

Xinyan didn’t want to make exceptions either; besides, she also wanted to experience university collective life.

Today, Xinyan needed to prepare what to bring to the university the day after tomorrow.

She hadn’t left yet when He Jinxuan returned. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Xinyan about to go out: "Yanyan, are you heading out?"

Xinyan saw him come back, her face full of smiles: "Yes, I was just about to go buy some stuff. Did you get your things done?"

He Jinxuan glanced at her future father-in-law standing under the porch and nodded lightly: "Yes, it’s done. However, I won’t be officially starting work until after the National Day holiday."

Xinyan wasn’t disappointed hearing that, after all, whether it’s him leaving the Mechanical Factory or the job here in the Capital, both require paperwork: "As long as things are settled, it’s fine. You came back just in time, you can be the muscle."

He Jinxuan naturally wouldn’t refuse: "Just wait a minute, I’ll put my stuff inside first."

Originally, Aunt Chen planned to accompany them, but seeing He Jinxuan back now, she tactfully said: "Then I won’t join in the fun. I have to make some meat sauce and chili sauce, and you can take them to school."

Xinyan naturally knew what Aunt Chen meant, and she thanked her with a smile.

Han Jingchen thought that the young lady had a big shopping trip today, and it would be inconvenient to carry everything, so he said: "Jingsong, give them the car keys."

Upon hearing Han Jingchen’s words, Xinyan knew this was quite a gesture: "Thank you, Dad."

He Jinxuan took the car keys and nodded to Han Jingchen before taking Xinyan out.

After driving a short distance, Xinyan asked, "Jinxuan, where are you going to work?"

He Jinxuan smiled: "At the City Transport Team, they just brought back a batch of new cars and are setting up a new team. I’m coming in as the team leader."

He originally expected to start from the bottom at the new unit, but unexpectedly, the An Family helped him behind the scenes and directly gave him an opportunity to showcase his skills, whether driving or otherwise; otherwise, he would have returned sooner.

Xinyan was a bit puzzled: "You came over and they just made you a team leader, and for a newly established team too?"

He Jinxuan didn’t intend to hide from Xinyan: "Previously, when I was on a mission with the unit, I saved the grandson of the An Family. We were teammates, and in a critical moment, I took two bullets for An Jianming. The An Family has always remembered this favor."

It was immediately clear that the An Family wasn’t simple: "The An Family is quite powerful?"

He Jinxuan smiled at Xinyan: "Yes, the head of the An Family is a veteran revolutionary, living in the military district compound."

Xinyan suddenly said: "There’s a question I’ve always wanted to ask you."

He Jinxuan turned to glance at her: "What do you want to ask?"

Xinyan hesitated for a long time and finally asked: "Previously, you were already a company-level officer, and you had the An Family supporting you. Why did you choose to transfer to a civilian career?"

He Jinxuan showed a moment of discomfort and deliberated for a while before speaking: "There were indeed some compelling reasons, which I didn’t want to bring up, but since you want to know..."

Xinyan frowned when she heard this: "If it’s difficult, then don’t say it, just pretend I didn’t ask."

He Jinxuan looked at the road ahead, exhaled, and said: "It’s not that I can’t say it."

He Jinxuan then began to explain why he gave up his beloved career. The reason was quite cliché. The daughter of a superior, Jian Minru, and his good buddy Lu Changjun from the same regiment, were originally engaged.

But Jian Minru, for some reason, wanted to break off the engagement and marry him instead.

He Jinxuan didn’t know at first, he just felt that Jian Minru was off, always hanging around him. Once or twice, it was nothing, but after a while, others noticed something was amiss.

He avoided her as much as he could. He and that good buddy became very awkward around each other because of this matter.

In the end, he didn’t know who gave Jian Minru the idea, trying to use extreme methods to force his hand, but He Jinxuan simply wasn’t having it, and it created quite an awkward situation at the time.
