Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1242: Truly Can’t Handle Flirting

Vice Captain Lu certainly didn't anticipate that his wife's demeanor would shift so drastically upon their arrival, despite all prior agreements made at home.

Captain He, showing them no regard whatsoever, unceremoniously escorted them out.

His expression grew considerably awkward. Noticing Fu Guangying's intent to continue speaking, he swiftly pulled her out of the yard, exclaiming, "Enough, isn't this enough of an embarrassment?"

His original intention in bringing Lu Qiufu was to borrow a motorcycle, hoping for a chance to outshine others at his cousin's engagement party tomorrow and help her save face. He never expected Captain He and his wife to be so uncooperative.

A considerable number of people were already outside the yard, seeking respite from the heat. Witnessing the couple enter Captain He's residence, those onlookers were certain not to let such a prime opportunity for gossip slip by.

However, they had not foreseen that Vice Captain Lu's wife would exhibit such brazenness, directly requesting to borrow an expensive motorcycle and then instigating a quarrel when refused.

Just as Captain He had commented, not only was her own home perpetually in disarray, but she also sought to create disturbances within the neighborhood. It would be wise to avoid any future interactions with such individuals.

For a fleeting moment, all eyes on Vice Captain Lu were filled with a sense of pity.

After all, Vice Captain Lu appeared to be henpecked, fully aware of the impropriety yet unwilling to defy his wife's decisions, thus complicit in her foolishness.

Possessing a clear understanding of the motorcycle's significant value, yet demonstrating such audacious thick-skinnedness to request its loan, they truly possessed remarkable nerve.

This couple, however, remained unperturbed by such opinions, refusing to let external judgment affect their spirits.

He Jinxuan secured the gate and took Xinyan's hand, saying, "Come, let's eat."

Xinyan cast a glance towards the outside of the yard, her thoughts racing: Fu Guangying's mind must have been caught in a door, and perhaps Vice Captain Lu's intellect is also flawed. Truly, this couple is an apt match.

With the earlier commotion resolved, the prepared meal was now at its perfect temperature.

He Jinxuan eagerly looked at Xinyan, inquiring, "How is it? Any noticeable progress?"

Xinyan swallowed the food in her mouth before replying, "It's quite good, not inferior to the culinary skills of a chef in a state-run establishment. Should you ever find yourself without employment, you could certainly open a small eatery to support us."

A shared laugh erupted between them following her remark.

After diligently ensuring Xinyan was served and had finished her meal, He Jinxuan finally began to eat with gusto.

Subsequently, ensuring Xinyan wouldn't lift a finger, he cleared the dishes and took them inside. He then hurried back, whispering into Xinyan's ear, "Wife, go take your bath; I'll join you after I finish tidying the kitchen."

Xinyan, witnessing his evident eagerness, couldn't suppress a chuckle.

Yet, considering their brief separation shortly after marriage, his current behavior seemed quite understandable. In truth, she felt a pang of guilt towards him: "Alright, the kitchen is yours to manage, but don't try any funny business."

As Xinyan began to rise, He Jinxuan playfully responded, "As you command, my dear wife."

Having been together for a considerable time, she had never before observed him exhibiting such a lively disposition. Reflecting on this, a blush crept onto her cheeks, and she quickly turned away to conceal her expression: "I'm going to take my bath now."

Naturally, her statement was deliberately provocative, purely to gauge his reaction.

She then made haste into the house.

Upon hearing Xinyan's words, He Jinxuan felt an immediate surge of heat, intensely wishing for a few extra hands to expedite the kitchen cleanup so he could rush inside and embrace his wife.

One could only surmise that this recently awakened man found such teasing rather overwhelming.

Meanwhile, within the opulent confines of an office: "Still no pertinent information?"

"Sir, please do not be troubled. We have indeed acquired some intelligence, though the relevant authorities are still in the midst of verification. We anticipate receiving conclusive news within the next few days."

"Sir, your health cannot afford further delay; a comprehensive examination is scheduled for tomorrow."

"Furthermore, I have been diligently searching for the young lady who administered treatment to you on the train. Her acupuncture techniques clearly originate from a master and appear remarkably beneficial for your condition."

"I understand. Proceed with the necessary arrangements."

Before locating his grandson, he must prioritize his own well-being, a commitment he held with unwavering resolve.
