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

Li Man couldn’t take it anymore. She sneered, ”What are you so smug about, Qin Jiao? Do you even know someone confessed to your boyfriend? If you’re so clever, you’d better be able to keep him wrapped around your finger for life!”

”Oh?” Qin Jiao’s eyebrow twitched slightly. Then she looked behind Li Man and asked, ”Is what she’s saying true? Did someone really confess to you?”

Li Man froze. She turned around and saw Shen Yi, his face dark.

Shen Yi’s dark eyes seemed to hold shards of ice.

He said, ”You should be glad you’re a girl.”

’Otherwise, this plate of food in my hand would have ended up on her head!’

How could Li Man dare to stay any longer? She had been caught red-handed badmouthing someone, and the person in question looked like he was about to hit her.

Her face paled instantly. She grabbed her tray and scurried away.

’Still,’ Li Man thought as she left, ’no matter what, I’ve at least planted a seed of doubt between Qin Jiao and her boyfriend. It wasn’t a total waste.’

Meanwhile, Qin Jiao watched with a smile as Shen Yi sat down, his face still grim and looking a little anxious.

Qin Jiao said, ”Don’t worry. We can talk while we eat. What’s this about a cake?”

How could Shen Yi possibly eat? Not long ago, he had solemnly sworn that he would be devoted to Qin Jiao for lifetimes to come, that he would never be a scumbag like his biological father.

So, while Qin Jiao happily ate her fragrant sweet and sour pork ribs, Shen Yi hurriedly recounted the entire incident with Xu Wei and the cake. He explained what she had said and how he had replied, not leaving out a single detail.

When Qin Jiao heard that Shen Yi had told the department belle, the upperclassman, that his family was in the clothing business and had no interest in the food industry for now, she almost burst out laughing.

She said, ”You didn’t make your department’s belle cry from anger, did you?”

Shen Yi: ”Why would I care if she cries or not? I was just worried about keeping you waiting too long here in the cafeteria.”

Shen Yi was truly devoted to Qin Jiao with all his heart. Otherwise, she never would have agreed to give dating him a try.

She smiled and said, ”Alright, alright, I believe you. I don’t have class later this afternoon, so I’m going to the house to check on the renovation progress. What about you?”

”I’m going to book the plane tickets. After I’m done, I’ll head to the new house to find you.”

”Okay.”

The people nearby had been straining their ears, hoping to hear the young couple argue. But not only were they not fighting at all, they were talking about a new house, renovations, and plane tickets?

Could it be that they were getting ready to get married?!

No, that couldn’t be right. They weren’t even of legal age to get a marriage license yet.

After lunch, the two of them went their separate ways, having already put the department belle, the cake, and Li Man to the back of their minds.

Qin Jiao went to check on the noodle shop first. The renovations were complete, and it was now just airing out. Her father, Qin Zhonghui, was there by himself, touching this up and fixing that.

The moment Qin Zhonghui saw his daughter, he broke into a wide grin and said, ”Xiao Jiao, have you eaten lunch?”

”I have. I ate with Shen Yi at the cafeteria. Dad, you don’t have to come here so often. Just leaving the windows open to air the place out is enough.”

Qin Zhonghui gave an honest smile. ”It’s fine, it’s fine. We didn’t use too much paint anyway. I’m just so excited to finally have my own restaurant. Your mother even said I was talking in my sleep about the restaurant last night.”

Qin Jiao couldn’t help but chuckle.

’Even though every day since her rebirth had been a flurry of activity, seeing the smile on her dad’s face made Qin Jiao feel that all the hard work was worth it.’

After spending a little while at the noodle shop, Qin Jiao headed to Rose District to check on the renovation progress.

But before she even entered the residential complex, she saw Shen Feng.
