Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1136: What Are Your Plans

By the time Xinyan and He Jinxuan emerged from the space, the private restaurant was already shut down.

Seizing the moment with the front yard deserted, they hurried out the main gate right after exiting the space.

Buses had ceased operation at this late time. Now that He Jinxuan knew about the space, they simply retrieved a bicycle from within it: "Let’s head back to the courtyard first, and talk about everything else once we’re home."

Otherwise, the restaurant’s gate would soon be secured if they lingered.

He Jinxuan stayed stunned; the day’s incidents were simply too bizarre.

Without Xinyan showing up just in time, spotting his strange condition, and rushing him into that enigmatic realm during the dire moment, the fallout would have been unthinkable.

The drug proved overwhelmingly potent; he’d only just felt something amiss in his body, with no chance to respond before it fully gripped him.

Reflecting on it, the whole thing was utterly chilling.

Silence enveloped the pair throughout the journey.

He Jinxuan thought that, being an ex-soldier, he ought to have spotted the threat sooner. He believed he’d disgraced his former unit and disappointed Xinyan.

Furthermore, getting plotted against filled him with fury, nearly reducing him to a dupe, as inner rage threatened to erupt.

Xinyan realized it wasn’t He Jinxuan’s doing, yet discomfort still plagued her.

With the space revealed and the unforeseen closeness added in, turmoil churned within her, leading her to fault the Huang Family entirely.

Back at the courtyard deep into the night, it wasn’t suitable to chat about the day’s drama outdoors.

In light of these events, hastening the wedding date was unavoidable.

Xinyan directed He Jinxuan to fasten the door securely before leading him indoors: "It’s late. We’ll make do here for tonight."

He Jinxuan stepped up, drawing Xinyan into an embrace: "Yanyan, if you’re mad, go ahead and chew me out, just don’t hold it in."

Concerning the spot Xinyan had whisked him to amid the crisis, he chose not to mention it since she hadn’t, promising to safeguard her secret moving forward.

Xinyan gazed up at him: "Don’t you want to ask about anything?"

He Jinxuan placed his chin on Xinyan’s shoulder: "I’ll listen if you feel like sharing. If not, I won’t press. But from now on, never let it show again. Keep in mind, a person may be innocent, but treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime."

Xinyan noted his furrowed brow: "I get it."

Not eager to delve into the space right then, she switched topics: "What’s your plan?"

He Jinxuan clutched her firmly: "Yanyan, I’m so sorry for today’s mess. I want to settle our wedding date right away. Do you agree?"

After voicing it, his heart raced to his throat, terrified Yanyan might turn him down.

Xinyan had pondered it earlier and thus agreed promptly: "We can’t possibly keep today’s events from my parents. Beijing isn’t huge, after all; they could hear whispers someday, making it even more embarrassing."

She understood her father’s nature like no one else.

He Jinxuan planted a soft kiss on Xinyan’s forehead: "I never meant to conceal it, and it’s impossible anyway. Like you said, Beijing is small. Far better they learn straight from us than through rumors."

He steeled himself for resistance, knowing full well this was his failing toward Xinyan, explanations aside.

After their first taste of intimacy in such fraught conditions and sorting through matters, Xinyan retreated inside to sleep.

The next morning, she awoke early to the enticing scent of cooking drifting in.

Stepping from the room, she beheld He Jinxuan in Granny Zhang’s apron, exiting the kitchen, which instantly curved her lips into a smile.
