Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1102: Not Playing Third Wheel

After everything was settled, Xinyan saw Ling Wenhao constantly glancing at Jiang Peiqin. She knew exactly what he was thinking.

Leaning over to Jiang Peiqin’s ear, she whispered, "Peiqin, look at the way your man’s eyes are darting around."

Jiang Peiqin was clearly still upset and rolled her eyes at Ling Wenhao: "Ignore him. Who told him to be so stupid? Now he’s playing the victim for whom?"

After saying that, she wanted to pull Xinyan away with her.

But how could Ling Wenhao just let her leave like that? He reached out and grabbed her: "Xiaoqinzi, I was wrong. I’ll pay attention in the future, and it won’t happen again."

Xinyan saw the awkward tension between the two and didn’t want to be a third wheel. She joked, "Peiqin, listen to his excuses, I’m outta here."

With that, she didn’t wait for Jiang Peiqin to stop her and slipped away, waving at the two of them behind her.

Jiang Peiqin stomped her foot and said, "Han Xinyan, you heartless thing."

Ling Wenhao watched Jiang Peiqin jump around, his face full of affectionate smile: "Xiaoqinzi, your friend is really great, she knows how to read the room."

Jiang Peiqin huffed and walked out.

Ling Wenhao followed closely behind her: "Xiaoqinzi, listen to my excuses, ugh, no, your friend got me all mixed up."

As soon as Jiang Peiqin heard Ling Wenhao speak ill of Xinyan, her face darkened immediately.

Before she could explode, Ling Wenhao realized his mistake: "No, no, that’s not what I meant."

Jiang Peiqin shot a glare: "Then what do you mean?"

In work, Ling Wenhao was usually successful, but in front of his fiancée, he couldn’t figure it out, so he simply pulled her into his arms and kissed the mouth that still wanted to nag.

When Jiang Peiqin realized it, she pushed him away in embarrassment and anger, gritting her teeth: "Ling Wenhao."

Ling Wenhao smiled and replied: "Yes, what can I do for you, my dear wife?"

Jiang Peiqin, hearing him call her ’wife’, remembered past events, and huffed: "Stop calling me that, who is your wife?"

Ling Wenhao pulled her back into his embrace: "You are my wife."

Jiang Peiqin stared at his face: "That might not be so. Without Xinyan’s intervention, I might have given up."

When Ling Wenhao heard this, a pang hit his heart, and he held her tighter: "Peiqin, don’t ever think that way again. No matter when, remember, you’re the only one in my heart."

At this, Jiang Peiqin got even angrier: "If it weren’t for Xinyan today, and Uncle Xiao, do you think you would have mattered? What good is it that only I am in your heart?

If we hadn’t found a flaw today, what would have been your outcome, you know better than anyone."

Ling Wenhao pulled her behind a large tree: "Xiaoqinzi, I was careless this time, rest assured, this matter won’t just end like this."

He had realized earlier that someone might be helping her from behind.

He just didn’t want to alarm the snake, so he didn’t mention it in front of everyone.

The two of them spent a long time in love there, and Ling Wenhao agreed to many unfair terms only to finally coax her.

Xinyan returned home and found her parents not in the living room, so she checked their bedroom, but no one was there either.

She saw Sister Chen upon coming out: "Aunt Chen, where are my parents?"

Sister Chen smiled and pointed to the study: "They’re in the study."

Xinyan saw the tea in her hand: "Is that to be taken to the study?"

Sister Chen nodded with a smile: "Yes."

Xinyan reached out her hand: "Let me do it."

She carried the tea to the study door and knocked gently: "Mom, Dad, I’m back."

Gu Wanqing opened the door: "Yanyan, come in quickly."

Seeing her parents’ serious expressions, she asked: "Mom, Dad, what happened?"

Han Jingchen motioned for her to sit down.

Then he exchanged a glance with Gu Wanqing before speaking: "We received word that all three families are saying the same thing."

Xinyan pretty much understood what he meant: "Could it be that the Gu Family really has a hidden treasure?"

Gu Wanqing said: "I’ve never heard your grandfather mention it."

Xinyan thought of the Jade Pendant: "Mom, now that those three families no longer pose a threat, it’s time for Grandpa and Grandma to return to the Capital. Even if we don’t know about the treasure, they might know something about the Jade Pendant."

Gu Wanqing nodded slightly: "You’re right, it’s time to go back. The Gu Family has lain dormant for so long, some matters should finally be resolved."
