Back to the 1980s: Becoming the Villain's Lucky Wife

Somehow, in the midst of their kissing, they ended up on the bed. A certain someone had long since seized the initiative.

Qin Jiao reached out to pin down his hand while using her other to cover his mouth. ”That’s about enough,” she said. ”If you keep this up, I’m going straight to Aunt Du and asking for another room.”

Shen Yi wouldn’t have any of that. He immediately straightened up and behaved, even thoughtfully helping Qin Jiao tidy her disheveled clothes. But he still sounded a little aggrieved. ”Jiao Jiao, how can ’about enough’ be enough for something like this?”

Seeing Qin Jiao’s faint smile, Shen Yi quickly changed the subject. ”Oh, right. When we’re in front of Beidou’s relatives, don’t call her Aunt Du anymore. Call her Mom directly.”

”I know.”

’It’s not like I didn’t call her that in my past life. In fact, I’ve already called her Mom in public a few times in this life, too.’

Although being stopped midway had made Shen Yi unhappy, he had gotten a taste of what was to come. While Qin Jiao was in the bathroom, he made a point to check a drawer.

’Nope. None of those things.’

So, when they went to the restaurant for dinner, Shen Yi pulled Beidou aside and started whispering to him.

Du Liya tried to go over and listen, but the two of them just walked off with their arms slung over each other’s shoulders. Her eyes widened. ”What’s the meaning of this? My man and my son are both ignoring me?”

Qin Jiao smiled beside her. ”This dynamic they have is pretty great,” she said. ”In any case, from what I can see, Shen Yi is much closer to Beidou than he ever was to Shen Zhengfeng.”

Du Liya was a free-spirited woman. Ever since divorcing Shen Zhengfeng, she held no lingering attachments to him and didn’t mind mentioning him in conversation.

She scanned the menu as she spoke. ”This is the difference between someone who loves me and someone I love. Xiao Jiao, a woman really should marry a man who loves her more. A situation like mine before... it’s just too exhausting.”

No matter how hard you try, you can never get that same love in return.

Especially when you run into someone with ulterior motives like Shen Zhengfeng. He never broke things off with his ex—who was secretly raising his son for him—while at the same time marrying Du Liya and using her family’s money and network to build his business.

It’s nauseating just to think about.

Qin Jiao said, ”Mom, it’s a good thing you pulled back from the brink in time.”

Du Liya was delighted to be called ”Mom.” She had suspected for a while that the two kids’ relationship had progressed, and she was overjoyed.

She immediately took the gold bracelet from her wrist and went to put it on Qin Jiao.

Qin Jiao immediately shook her head. ”No, no, no, I can’t accept this. You’ve already given me a gift.”

”This is different! This is a gift for calling me Mom!”

Qin Jiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’At this rate, maybe I shouldn’t have said it at all.’

But seeing the insistence in Du Liya’s eyes, she had no choice but to accept it. Du Liya had already finished ordering and told the waiter to bring out the food.

She said, ”After the wedding, I’ll take you out for some shopping. This area isn’t far from where I used to go to school, so we can go see it then.”

”Okay.”

Most women can’t resist shopping, and Qin Jiao was no exception.

A short while later, the two men returned, looking quite pleased with themselves. The food arrived just in time, and the four of them sat down to eat.

Beidou had to leave soon to help set up the wedding venue, while the others could go rest.

Du Liya had been here before and knew which dishes were good, so they all quickly ate their fill. A fine drizzle had started outside, so Qin Jiao decided she didn’t feel like going out and instead curled up in their room with a book.

Shen Yi, of course, never left her side.

Back in their room, Qin Jiao told him about Du Liya giving her the bracelet.
