Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1132: Set Up

The instant they stepped out of the private room, He Jinxuan's breaths turned ragged.

Xinyan stayed so near that she could sense his condition without needing to inspect it.

With a touch of anger, she remarked, "Why can’t you be more considerate? If I hadn’t come today, you would have been forced into marriage by tomorrow."

Even if He Jinxuan reacted slowly, he grasped the implication in Xinyan’s words.

He truly never imagined that dining with comrades would stir up such chaos.

Yet at this point, words meant nothing; his endurance had hit its peak, and his hands began trembling uncontrollably.

Regrettably, their chosen dining spot was a fresh private eatery, rather isolated, making it tough to leave without a ride.

Since Xinyan warned him ’don’t drink and drive, don’t drive and drink,’ he’d always been cautious about it.

This day, he got a lift there, intending to use the vehicle fetching his comrades afterward.

Xinyan had bused to the closest stop before cycling over on the bike kept in her space.

Once there, she hid the bicycle securely, of course.

Right as they exited the private restaurant’s courtyard, voices trailed them from behind: "Huang Nianshuang, what on earth did you do?"

"Can you stop following me?"

"With the way you are now, can I not follow you?"

"Aren’t you annoying? I told you I’m just in a bad mood and wanted to go for a walk. Just do what you need to do. Why are you always watching me?"

"Huang Nianshuang, you’re acting very strange today."

After those words, he fixed his gaze on her sharply, knowing his cousin’s temperament well, "Since you learned I was eating with comrades, you’ve demanded to join, even offering to serve their drinks. I’m beginning to question if you’re truly Huang Nianshuang.

Where did you slip off to moments ago, and why the heavy makeup on your face?

What schemes are you hatching?"

Huang Nianshuang fretted over losing the perfect moment, irritation boiling up, "Second Brother, is this how you speak to your sister?"

Huang Guangfeng sensed something amiss with his cousin but couldn’t nail it down, eyes full of doubt.

Suddenly, a voice called from afar, "Guangfeng, I wondered why you took so long to bring back the wine and saw you’re still here!"

Huang Guangfeng recalled his task abruptly, "I’m on it."

As he departed, he warned severely, "Behave yourself. If anything happens, I won’t speak for you."

With Huang Guangfeng gone, Huang Nianshuang began scouring the area for her target.

She’d spiked the wine while serving it earlier, and for flawless execution, she’d reapplied her makeup. Yet back in the room, everyone had vanished.

She rushed out once more, hunting frantically.

By sheer bad luck, as her second cousin went for wine from the car, he ran into her and pressed for answers, nearly pushing her over the edge.

She resorted to deception to send him off.

Watching He Jinxuan sweat profusely with sweat dripping from his brow and muscles spasming, on the verge of losing control, they ended up cornered in the tiny utility room by Huang Nianshuang.

Though they longed to give him Space Stream Water, lacking utensils made it impossible, utterly maddening.

He Jinxuan, beyond restraint, silently drew a small knife from his pocket and moved to slash his arm.

Xinyan swiftly blocked him, "What are you doing? Hold on a little longer. I’ll get you out of here soon."

However, with He Jinxuan in this state, venturing out risked being seen, and who knew what gossip would fly, given how many locals knew one another.

In her distress, footsteps neared with a voice, "Nianshuang, why are you standing here? Did it work?"

Huang Nianshuang scowled, "Why did you come out? If my second cousin sees us, we’re done for."

"I’m just worried about you."

"Hurry back. I haven’t found him yet. Please don’t let my second cousin find you, or today’s plan will definitely be ruined."

Xinyan furrowed her brow at the exchange outside, puzzled by their cryptic talk.

It felt like she half-grasped it, yet remained clueless.

Then the man added, "You go back first, I’ll have someone look for him, stay sharp."

Huang Nianshuang reluctantly returned to the back room, dreading her second cousin’s interference once more.

Her pulse pounded, terrified the second cousin’s comrade had departed, dooming her scheme.

Should that occur, she’d face family pressure to wed into the Fu Family.

That fate, she dreaded, would trap her hopelessly.

Though Xinyan had no idea what tricks they were plotting, failing to treat He Jinxuan's condition promptly might spark major chaos.

She had no bandwidth for other matters right now. Lowering him to the floor, she kept motivating him, "You're doing great, just endure a bit more. Acupuncture is coming soon."

She whirled back, pulling a kit of silver needles from space, then loosened He Jinxuan’s shirt.

With her medical background, having silver needles on her was perfectly normal.

The silver needles went in one after another, bringing He Jinxuan much relief, yet the fire raging in his body refused to fade.

Twenty minutes passed before racket echoed from the yard. After tuning in for moments, Xinyan grasped that the wife had gathered folks to nab the philanderer.

As footsteps neared the utility room, Xinyan bit down hard, dragging the thrashing He Jinxuan into space.

They had barely slipped into space when the door burst open with a kick.

Inside space, Xinyan watched a burly, powerful woman herd a bunch into the room, only to freeze in shock at finding it empty.

After what felt like ages, one finally piped up, "What’s happening here? Why is there no one here? Sister Hao, have we been duped?"

At that moment, a keen follower blurted, "That’s impossible, I really overheard Huang Nianshuang and Sister Hao’s man talking, they said the place was here, and mentioned the utility room in the front yard.

I inquired earlier, in the front and back yards, only this small room became the utility room due to its size."

The woman who had spoken before said, "Where are they, then?"

"I definitely saw Sister Hao’s man and that woman entering this yard, but not together."

The big and strong woman waved her hand, "Let’s go, we’ll check the backyard."
