Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 472

Although Jiang Peiqin was mad at him, she softened when she heard him talk like this, "Are you crazy? Driving back takes over six hours, and it’s already night. Can you be a little more considerate?"

Ling Wenhao saw there weren’t many people around, and the sky had darkened. He dragged her behind the nearby big tree and forcefully pulled her into his arms, "Do you know how I’ve been tormenting myself these past few days, you heartless person?"

Jiang Peiqin wanted to break free, but Ling Wenhao wouldn’t let go, "Let me hold you for a while. As soon as the meeting ended at noon, I started driving back, but then my car had a minor breakdown halfway.

I can’t miss tomorrow’s meeting; they’re still waiting for me to host it. So please spare some sympathy for me, and don’t be mad at me anymore. I still have to drive through the night."

Jiang Peiqin knew he was up to tricks, but to keep him focused, she softly said ’um’, "Don’t let it happen again; there won’t be a future for us if it happens again. I can’t tolerate sand in my eyes; if your heart isn’t here, I won’t force you to stay."

These words made Ling Wenhao so mad he felt like hitting someone, but he couldn’t bear to, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you trying to make me die from anger?"

They grew up together, and naturally, she knew what kind of person he was. However, when Luo Zidan said those things in front of her family, anyone would be angry. Not to mention, the next day she held Ling Wenhao’s watch, claiming it was the token of love he gave her. A watch is a personal item, regardless of the real reason; it shouldn’t have ended up in Luo Zidan’s hands. That’s why she got mad and made that accusatory phone call.

The two of them were duly affectionate behind the tree for a long time before Ling Wenhao got Jiang Peiqin’s assurance and prepared to drive back to the county overnight.

After sending her to the dorm building entrance, he gazed into Jiang Peiqin’s eyes, "I already gave that watch to my Second Brother. His watch broke a few days ago, and as for things that any other woman has touched, I would never keep them."

Actually, he feared Xiaoqinzi seeing that watch and feeling uncomfortable, impacting their relationship, which wasn’t worth it. Coincidentally, his Second Brother’s watch was accidentally broken by his nephew, so he gave it away then.

Jiang Peiqin felt much better hearing this, "Alright, you’re sensible. We can consider this matter closed."

Excited, Ling Wenhao tried to hug her, but Jiang Peiqin pushed him away, "Alright, don’t you see where we are?

Even if I wanted to invite you to eat, the cafeteria probably has no food left. You should hurry and find a place to eat, then head back early and be safe."

If it weren’t for him mentioning he had to host the county meeting tomorrow, she certainly wouldn’t let him drive through the dangerous night.

The only thing she could do now was to clearly tell him that she’s no longer angry and encourage him to return as soon as possible, with plenty of time, without having to rush.

Ling Wenhao was overjoyed, knowing Xiaoqinzi was just stubborn but soft-hearted, "I’ll follow Xiaoqinzi’s advice. Actually, I brought a driver back specifically for us to take turns driving. Don’t worry, everything will be fine."

Jiang Peiqin wondered what to do since she got caught in a trap.

But under the light, seeing the red in his eyes, she didn’t want to be upset with him anymore, "Alright, quickly go find a place to eat. It’s getting late, and the state-run restaurants might close soon."

Only then did Ling Wenhao reluctantly leave.

When Jiang Peiqin got back to the dorm, she didn’t see Xinyan. She turned to Cui Haili, "Xinyan hasn’t come back?"

Cui Haili was organizing her notes from today, "No, weren’t you two together?"

Meanwhile, Han Xinyan was taking a call in the reception room, and He Jinxuan was instructing her on the other end, "I’ll come over in a few days, and I’ve already arranged the matter you asked for before. I’ll bring it over on my visit, so take care of yourself."

Before Xinyan could ask, He Jinxuan continued, "I’ve met the old man behind the guesthouse and also talked to Haibo. Rest assured, when I leave, I’ll leave some money with Haibo to have him go check in now and then."

Xinyan felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing this, as she wanted to help the elderly herself, but it became someone else’s task. Still, since it was already said, she couldn’t tell him not to, "Remember to send Brother Lu some money every year; we can’t let people put in the effort without any compensation."
