Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 698

Xinyan saw her like this and teased as he approached, "You seem to be in a good mood. Did something wonderful happen?"

He Jinxuan’s lips curled up, "Something truly great."

If it weren’t for the people in the courtyard, he would have lifted someone up and cheered.

Just now, his future father-in-law mentioned that he should come over for the New Year, and on the sixth of January, they would have their engagement.

He was extremely excited now, soon he would have a title, Han Xinyan’s fiancé.

Engagement... isn’t that just a step away from marriage?

He felt so elated, he almost wanted to shout out loud.

Just as he was about to reach out and pull Xinyan, Han Jingchen walked out from inside, "Jinxuan, it’s getting late, you should head back early."

Agreed, but seeing his smugness annoyed him for some reason.

He Jinxuan didn’t want to leave so soon. After all, he drove, and being late wasn’t an issue. But with his future father-in-law speaking, he had no choice but to respond, "Alright."

After greeting everyone, he braced himself, took Xinyan’s hand, and walked to the gate.

Upon reaching the gate, he pinned Xinyan against the wall and quickly kissed her lips before she could react, "Yanyan, your dad said we’re getting engaged on the sixth of January."

Xinyan was naturally aware of this. Han Jingchen had discussed it with her days before, but the exact day of the engagement was unknown. Hearing He Jinxuan and seeing his delighted face, "Now you’re really getting what you want. Feeling light-headed?"

He Jinxuan grinned, "A little, pinch me."

Xinyan laughed out loud at his words, "You’re really full of yourself."

But she did try to pinch his side, yet her attempt was thwarted by his firm waist.

He Jinxuan laughed, "Maybe try a different spot."

Both of them laughed together.

Xinyan was about to speak when she heard Han Jingchen’s voice from inside, "You’re taking forever to send someone off. It’s so cold, aren’t you afraid of freezing?"

Then footsteps approached the gate.

He Jinxuan dared not linger, "I’ll come over for New Year’s Eve. You should hurry back, don’t really freeze."

Xinyan laughed, pushing him into the car, then stood at the gate waving, "Drive safe."

Seeing his future father-in-law approaching, He Jinxuan quickly got in the car, "I’ll come early on New Year’s Eve to help."

After saying that, he called out to Han Jingchen, who had reached the gate, "Uncle, I’m leaving."

Watching the car drive away, Han Jingchen turned to Xinyan, "Girls really do get carried away. If I hadn’t come out, how long would you have stayed?"

Xinyan looked at the inexplicably angry Han Jingchen, "Dad, are you regretting agreeing to him now?"

Han Jingchen wouldn’t admit it, though he did regret it a little, feeling he agreed too early. However, considering how much his daughter had suffered before, having someone else to care for her would be nice.

But thinking of this reminded him of his wife, Gu Wanqing, and his mood instantly soured.

According to messages from the other side, Wanqing should be returning to the country, but there’s still no news so far.

He looked up at the bright moon and thought: Wanqing, our daughter is getting engaged, if you don’t return, you might miss it.

Elsewhere, President Gu, your ticket has been booked.

Gu Wanqing put down the wine glass in her hand and signaled for the person to leave the ticket, "You may leave now."

Looking at the ticket, Gu Wanqing’s mind seemed like a movie, she’d been seeking information about domestic affairs, and only a few months ago did she receive some news.

Knowing she could return to the country, she felt so excited she wanted to fly back immediately. However, during that time, her father’s health became an issue, and unwilling to leave them worried, it delayed her until now.

Thinking of soon seeing the person she longed for, her emotions couldn’t settle.

He sent family members back, but some matters were too risky for her to venture.

If it weren’t for a traitor in the family back then, their family wouldn’t have been targeted; if it weren’t for her parents’ preparations, they might all have been long buried and forgotten.

Gu Wanqing returned now, and those who wronged her, she would greet them one by one.
