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

Guo Ailan’s face paled. ”You might as well be a highway robber!”

Qin Jiao smiled faintly. ”I am.”

Guo Ailan was speechless for a long moment. After the couple had walked away, she sullenly downed the champagne in her hand. She drank it too quickly and ended up choking.

When the young couple found a quiet booth to rest in, Shen Yi immediately burst out, ”This is all Beidou’s fault! What was he thinking, spouting all that nonsense! And I don’t even know what corner that woman crawled out of! No, I have to go find Beidou and give him a piece of my mind!”

Qin Jiao rolled her eyes. ”Alright, stop acting. Today is your mom’s big day. Are you planning on making her spend her wedding night alone, without a groom? I know you can’t stand her, and besides, I don’t mind what she said.”

”But I mind. Jiao Jiao, don’t worry. I’ll take care of this.”

Qin Jiao looked at him and hummed in agreement. Only then did Shen Yi breathe a sigh of relief.

After the wedding, many guests left to rest for the day. Tomorrow, they were to visit their grandaunt, Du Anni. Qin Jiao had heard that this legendary grandaunt now lived in an old castle, a gift from one of her ex-husbands.

Qin Jiao asked Shen Yi curiously, ”How did Grandaunt manage that? To part with every ex-husband on good terms and have them all still treat her so well afterward?”

Shen Yi said, ”You don’t need to learn how.”

”Why?”

”Because you won’t have any ex-husbands.”

”...”

Shen Yi leaned in and gave Qin Jiao a placating kiss on the lips. ”Jiao Jiao, you’re exhausted today. Just get some rest. I’m heading out for a bit.”

”Go on.”

Qin Jiao guessed where Shen Yi was going. Barring any surprises, he was likely off to find Beidou.

Beidou and Du Liya were feeding each other fruit. The two of them were constantly being lovey-dovey; they were feeding each other one moment and about to kiss the next when someone knocked on the door.

Beidou said angrily, ”I’m not opening the door for anyone who knocks at a time like this.”

”Beidou, open up!” Shen Yi’s voice came from outside the door.

Beidou: ”...”

Anyone else could be ignored, but Du Liya’s son and father were people Beidou had to prioritize, even if the sky were falling.

Du Liya gave him a little push. ”Go open the door. Xiao Yi probably has something important to discuss.”

Beidou immediately got up and opened the door. Sure enough, he saw Shen Yi standing there with a grim expression.

”Xiao Yi, what’s wrong?”

”Guo Ailan embarrassed Jiao Jiao today. She said Jiao Jiao’s family was poor and even told her to call her ’Auntie.’ Beidou, if you can solve this, then solve it. If you can’t, I’ll find a way to solve it myself.”

Shen Yi had used his name directly, which showed just how serious he was.

Beidou frowned as well. ”That actually happened? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

”Mm. I hope you don’t disappoint me.” After saying this, Shen Yi turned and left. Jiao Jiao had drunk a lot of champagne tonight, and he needed to go back and take care of her.

Meanwhile, Beidou returned to Du Liya’s side, held her, and sighed. ”Being a stepfather isn’t easy.”

”What’s wrong?”

Beidou repeated what had happened, then said, ”But this is Guo Ailan’s fault. I’ll handle it. It’s a good thing Xiao Yi didn’t do anything directly.”

After all, today was his and Du Liya’s wedding day. If a scene had been made, they would have been the ones to lose the most face.

Du Liya also remarked with a sigh, ”With Xiao Yi’s old temper, he might have just blown up right at the banquet. But he was right to handle it this way. For one, a man should naturally protect his own wife. For another, he was being more considerate, worried that you’d be put in an awkward position.”

Beidou quickly promised, ”I’ll definitely handle it properly!”

Over on his end, Shen Yi also trusted that Beidou could handle it. ’If he can’t even manage a small thing like this, then maybe Mom should just divorce him.’

They were all currently staying in Beidou’s large villa, so naturally, Qin Jiao and Shen Yi were assigned a room together again.

This time, however, it wasn’t a standard room with two twin beds.

But a big... king-sized bed!
