Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1239: You Finally Showed Up

After a long day of meetings, with all arrangements finalized, she finally steered her motorcycle back to the transportation company's family compound.

She hadn't returned since her last visit.

The moment her motorcycle entered the compound, it drew immediate attention: "Wow, who just zipped by?"

"I could've sworn I saw a woman riding a motorcycle."

"I heard that bike isn't cheap. Let's see whose place it's heading to."

"Hey, why did it stop right at Captain He's doorstep?"

"I seem to recall Captain He used to ride a motorcycle, didn't he?"

At this point, Xinyan had dismounted, retrieved her key, unlocked the gate, and was preparing to wheel the motorcycle into the yard.

Sister Shen, residing directly across the street, called out, "Hey, Sister Xinyan, you've finally shown up."

Xinyan offered a smile and a greeting, "Sister Shen."

Without setting down the broom she held, Sister Shen approached. "Sister Xinyan, why haven't you been back these past few days?"

While maneuvering the motorcycle into the yard, Xinyan responded, "Sister, I went on a trip with my grandpa a while back, and once I returned, school commenced."

Only then did Sister Shen recall Xinyan's status as a university student. "Oh my goodness, look at me, I completely forgot you're still attending school."

Xinyan understood that being married while still a student made her something of an anomaly within the compound, so being somewhat overlooked was natural.

Sister Shen followed her inside, circling the motorcycle. "Sister Xinyan, this motorcycle isn't exactly inexpensive, is it?"

Previously, Xinyan and He Jinxuan had agreed that if questioned, they would claim her mother had purchased it, aiming to sidestep potential complications.

Xinyan chose not to conceal the truth and plainly stated the motorcycle's price.

Sister Shen exclaimed, "Heavens! That's quite a sum. You two are truly generous."

Xinyan chuckled, "My mom bought it for me, she was worried I might miss the bus when I'm in a rush."

Sister Shen listened, her eyes filled with admiration. "Sister Xinyan, your mother truly dotes on you."

Xinyan responded with a gentle smile, electing not to elaborate, and shifted the conversation. "Sister, I'll be returning to the compound every weekend from now on. I'm new here and not very familiar with the compound's residents. Could you perhaps introduce me?"

Sister Shen's face lit up. "You've absolutely come to the right person."

What followed was Sister Shen, letting loose, providing a comprehensive overview of the compound's inhabitants. She was, after all, the resident gossip authority, practically an all-around information source.

Her animated descriptions, particularly concerning the Deputy Captain's household, were more captivating than any seasoned storyteller's performance.

Just as their conversation was drawing to a close, He Jinxuan happened to enter the yard, carrying some items.

Sister Shen, while fond of gossip, also possessed good social awareness. Noticing He Jinxuan's return, she said, "Captain He is back. Oh, goodness me, I just remembered I have chores waiting in my yard. I'll be heading back now."

As she prepared to depart, Xinyan scooped a handful of preserved fruits from her bag. "Sister, please take this home for the children to enjoy."

Sister Shen paused for a moment, but thinking of her children, she accepted. "Thank you, sis. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask."

After seeing her off, Xinyan turned and noticed the intense eagerness reflected in He Jinxuan's eyes.

Without a word, He Jinxuan drew her into the house.

The moment they were inside, he turned, embracing her tightly. "Wife, I've missed you terribly."

Xinyan returned his embrace. "I missed you too.

There was much to manage after school began, and you were on a mission recently, which is why I didn't come back.

Knowing you would be returning today, I finished my tasks and hurried back. Are you happy?"
