Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 548

Xinyan looked at the reasonably appetizing lotus root stewed ribs: "Your cooking skills are improving."

He Jinxuan reached out and lightly tapped her nose: "Isn’t this what you asked for? I put in a lot of effort. Quickly, taste it and tell me how it is?"

Xinyan took the chopsticks from his hand, picked up a piece of lotus root, and took a small bite: "Mm, the lotus root is tender, and the flavor is good."

She couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up.

Xinyan wasn’t just trying to flatter him; He Jinxuan’s dish was indeed well-cooked: "It seems I’m in for a treat in the future. Don’t get complacent, keep up the good work."

Hearing Xinyan’s approval, He Jinxuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Before leaving the Mechanical Factory, he frequently visited the canteen, and the chefs were worn out by him; they did teach him quite a few cooking tips. Anyway, even if they taught him everything, they knew he wouldn’t take their jobs.

After the two sat down, it was a sweet exchange — you pass me a rib, and I’ll pass you a piece of lotus root. He Jinxuan even took a few pieces of seasoned meat from Xinyan’s bowl. After such a cozy meal, it was time for Xinyan to head back to school, as she had classes in the afternoon.

When they left the residential area, they happened to pass by Captain Lu’s house.

Captain Lu’s wife, Geng Lihua, watched the two walk away and muttered under her breath: "Even if they’re not married, people can still get divorced after marriage."

Captain He, young as he is, has already become the captain of the new fleet, and it’s said that he’s not only a good driver but also adept at car repairs, with a particularly outstanding ability to get contracts.

According to her husband Lu, the higher-ups are very satisfied with him.

If her niece could marry such a man, what would they have to worry about food and drink? Moreover, if it worked out, they’d have an ally in the transport team thanks to her husband Lu.

If Xinyan heard her thoughts, she’d simply retort: "Wow, you wish. Shameless."

He Jinxuan led Xinyan out of the transport team’s residential area, possibly satisfied with achieving his goal of the day, he wore a smile the entire journey.

Seeing him in such good spirits bewildered those who came across him, making them feel as if Captain He had been possessed, which was quite unsettling.

But seeing the pretty girl by his side, they felt at ease.

It’s likely that being in the presence of happy events refreshes one’s spirits, explaining his good mood and constant smiling.

After they left the residential area, Xinyan glanced at him sideways: "From now on, don’t smile at people outside. Are you trying to attract attention?"

Hearing Xinyan’s words, He Jinxuan toned down his expression, but his mood remained elated: "Today was significant, you can’t expect me not to smile."

He joked with Xinyan while starting the car, skillfully driving onto the road: "Yanyan, I’ll arrange a time and let you know in advance when I’ll take you for a driving lesson."

Xinyan turned to look at him: "Aren’t you afraid I’ll cause trouble?"

He Jinxuan replied confidently: "With me around, what is there to fear?"

Xinyan gave him a smile before turning her head away: "Alright, if you’re not afraid, then set it up."

The two chatted and laughed, occasionally holding hands, arriving at the school quickly.

The car didn’t stop right at the school gate; it stopped a few hundred meters away. After spending some more intimate time in the car, Xinyan got out and headed towards the school.

He Jinxuan waited for Xinyan to enter the school before preparing to drive off.

Unexpectedly, as he was about to turn into the lane, he saw Ji Xiaowen attempting to stop his car.

There was no way He Jinxuan would let her succeed. Swiftly, he reversed the car, shifted gears, and accelerated away, leaving Ji Xiaowen choking on exhaust fumes.

Ji Xiaowen was left frustrated and trembling with anger, feeling that the world was exceedingly unfair to her—it was infuriating.

He Jinxuan thought to himself that it seemed necessary to remind Xinyan to be more vigilant.

Besides, he needed to mention this to his father-in-law to prevent Ji Xiaowen from causing any more trouble and impacting the Han Family’s reputation.

Ji Xiaowen had no idea that her actions today would erase the last bit of sympathy Han Jingchen had for her.
