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

With Sun Lili at the helm and the staff Qin Jiao had handpicked, the restaurant ran very smoothly.

Shen Yi was in North City these days, so Qin Jiao spent most of her time at their home in Rose District. It had been a long time since she’d seen Lin Nian and his family, which was a welcome relief.

Qin Jiao had dozed off. In her light sleep, she felt someone touch her. Instantly alert, she opened her eyes and saw Shen Yi, gently holding a blanket, about to cover her.

The big man, well over six feet tall, suddenly looked a bit awkward holding the blanket with both hands. ”Jiao Jiao, did I wake you?”

When Qin Jiao saw it was him, she let out a sigh of relief.

She rubbed her eyes. ”It’s fine. I slept for a long time anyway. What took you so long?”

Because of the pregnancy and having just woken up, the last word she spoke had a soft, sweet lilt to it.

Ever since her rebirth, Qin Jiao had never been the delicate type. It was likely only around Shen Yi that she could relax so completely.

Shen Yi couldn’t help himself. He leaned down and kissed the corner of her mouth. ”I had a meeting today, and we went for dinner afterward.”

”Have you been drinking?”

”Nope. I told them my wife hates the smell of alcohol. They laughed at me at first, but after they found out who my wife was, they weren’t laughing anymore.” Shen Yi’s tone was full of pride. ”They said if their wives were as wonderful as you, they’d gladly give up drinking for a lifetime.”

Exasperated, Qin Jiao gave him a light swat. ”You’ve had your dinner, but I’m still hungry. Your baby is hungry, too.”

”I’ll go take a shower and change, then I’ll make you dinner. What do you feel like eating?”

”Tomato and egg noodles.”

Qin Jiao’s morning sickness hadn’t been severe during her pregnancy. In fact, she had a great appetite, most likely because the Spiritual Spring Water had strengthened her body so well.

The space was still as large as ever and hadn’t changed much. It was just that the couple had both gotten busier and rarely had time to go inside.

Shen Yi kissed her forehead again. ”Alright, you rest a little longer. I’ll go get started.”

In reality, Shen Yi had also had a very busy day. But no matter how busy he was, the moment he came home to Qin Jiao’s side, he felt happy doing anything at all.

Ever since Qin Jiao had gotten pregnant, he hadn’t let her do a single chore around the house. Whenever he came home, he would busy himself taking care of her every need.

In Shen Yi’s own words, every single moment he got to dote on Jiao Jiao was a blessing he had earned in his past life.

Qin Jiao shot him a speechless glare. ’He has the nerve to bring up his past life?’

Shen Yi immediately surrendered.

For any other couple, such a conversation might be purely hypothetical, but for these two, it was a matter of fact.

Shen Yi took a quick shower to wash off the scent of smoke and alcohol, then changed into a set of beige loungewear. With his sleeves rolled up, he entered the kitchen.

The central heating made the house toasty warm, creating a sharp contrast with the temperature outside. As a result, frost ferns had bloomed across the windowpanes.

Qin Jiao took a sip from her mug of hot water and leaned against the wall, watching Shen Yi cook.

Tomato and egg noodles were a simple dish, but watching a handsome man cook for you was a sight that was pleasing in every way.

Shen Yi glanced back and saw Qin Jiao watching him with a wide smile. He smiled back. ”What is it?”

”They say a man who’s serious about cooking is the most handsome, and they’re not wrong. My mom said the reason she fell for my dad was because of what happened on their blind date. It started pouring rain, so they both got stuck at the matchmaker’s house. When it got to be dinnertime, the matchmaker, who knew both of them well, invited them to stay and eat. And that’s when my dad went into the kitchen and showed off his skills a little.”
