Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1137: Out With It Already

Excitement from last night kept He Jinxuan awake all through the hours. As dawn arrived, he rose early and started preparing breakfast.

Spotting Xinyan step out, a warm smile lit up his face as he hurried over: "Breakfast is ready. Go wash up first, I’ll help you cool the porridge."

Xinyan giggled at his eager look: "What time did you get up?"

He Jinxuan answered bashfully: "I got up before dawn. I made your favorite bean porridge."

Xinyan teased him playfully: "Why, so eager to meet your father-in-law?"

Seriousness replaced the smile on He Jinxuan's face as he replied sincerely: "Yes."

With those words, he drew her close into his embrace, whispering softly by her ear: "I’ve been wanting to marry you for a long time."

His eyes filled with tender affection as he gazed at the girl nestled in his arms.

Under that loving stare, Xinyan felt her cheeks heat up shyly; she patted his arm: "Let go, I need to go wash up."

He Jinxuan let out a joyful laugh: "I’ve already squeezed your toothpaste, freshen up quickly and come for breakfast."

Their tender closeness turned that breakfast into a moment brimming with sweetness and warmth.

After dropping Xinyan off at school, He Jinxuan found a quiet spot to call his boss for leave, then rushed straight to her father's workplace.

Setting the wedding date mattered more than anything else right now.

He had always kept his true identity hidden there before. But today, his eagerness led him to openly mention his link to Han Jingchen.

Permission came swiftly: "Mr. He, you may go up."

Noting how fast He Jinxuan reached the office, Han Jingchen figured he must have hurried: "What’s going on?"

He Jinxuan snapped to attention and delivered a crisp military salute.

Though puzzled, Han Jingchen sensed the gravity: "If there’s something, say it."

Straight to the point, He Jinxuan asked: "Does what you said before still count?"

Han Jingchen looked confused: "What did I say?"

Stepping forward, He Jinxuan clarified: "About the marriage between Yanyan and me, you said as long as Yanyan agrees, it’s fine."

Stunned for a moment, Han Jingchen caught on: "You’re saying Yanyan agreed?"

As he spoke, he rose from his chair.

He Jinxuan held nothing back about yesterday's events. Rumors would circulate soon enough anyway, given the prominent guests at that exclusive restaurant.

Confessing directly to his future father-in-law beat waiting for hearsay to spread.

Over an hour passed in the office before He Jinxuan finally departed.

A bright smile adorned his face as he left, his steps light and bouncy—proof that all had gone splendidly.

Not long after, Xinyan got a call from Gu Wanqing: "Yanyan, tomorrow is the weekend, come home early to your grandfather’s place."

Xinyan fully grasped her family's intentions: "Got it, mom."

On her way back to the dorm, she ran into Jiang Peiqin: "Yanyan, wait for me, let’s walk together."

Quick on her feet, Jiang Peiqin finished paying for the call and caught up right away: "Let’s go."

Xinyan turned with a grin: "You seem to have figured things out, reconciled?"

Jiang Peiqin rolled her eyes: "Can’t you wish for me to be more assertive, and say it’s him who finally appeased me?"

Xinyan laughed heartily: "Alright, my mistake."

She never imagined that Jiang Peiqin, so distant and cool to others, could become such a playful girl around her fiancé.

This must be the true essence of love.

Feeling a bit shy, Jiang Peiqin quickly shifted the topic: "You’re talking about me, but you’ve been taking calls frequently these days. What, are you rolling in money with nowhere to spend it, being so overly sweet?"

With the wedding date sure to be set this weekend, her best friend Jiang Peiqin deserved better than last-minute news: "Naturally, we have important matters to discuss."

Intrigued, Jiang Peiqin pressed playfully: "What kind of matters require multiple calls a day? Spill the beans."
