Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

”Xiao Nian, Lu Cheng, what are you two talking about? Come on, it’s time to eat!”

Miao Cuifen finished cooking and came over to call for Shen Nian and Lu Cheng. Before she even got close, she saw the two of them with their heads together, whispering.

And Shen Nian’s cheeks were bright red.

As a woman with experience, when Miao Cuifen saw Shen Nian and Lu Cheng like this, she knew the young couple had a good relationship. Of course, she was delighted!

’Looks like what my daughter said before was true,’ she thought. ’She’s really come to her senses!’

”Ah, coming!”

When Shen Nian heard Miao Cuifen calling her, she felt like she’d just been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. She didn’t say anything more to Lu Cheng and quickly pulled him toward the dining room to eat.

Little did she know, this interaction only further convinced Miao Cuifen of how good the relationship was between her daughter and son-in-law.

At the dinner table, Shen Jian Country, Shen Xiangdong, and Lu Cheng were drinking liquor, while Miao Cuifen, Shen Nian, and Shen Xiangnan had soft drinks.

Shen Xiangnan looked at the liquor in front of his big brother and brother-in-law with envy. But all he could do was watch. When it came to him, he could only obediently drink his soft drink.

Who could he blame? He wasn’t an adult yet! Gulping down his drink, Shen Xiangnan thought resentfully, ’Hmph! In just two more years, once I’m an adult, I’ll be able to drink too!’

”Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Xiang Nan, I’d like to propose a toast. Thank you all for allowing me to marry Xiao Nian!”

Lu Cheng raised his cup, stood up, and spoke to Shen Nian’s family. He had wanted to express his gratitude to them for a long time but hadn’t found the right opportunity until now.

”Lu Cheng, you’re family now, no need to be so formal. Just sit down and have a drink with us. We trust your character. From now on, we’re entrusting our Xiao Nian to your care!”

”Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll take good care of Xiao Nian. I’ll never let her suffer any grievance!”

”Good, good, good! For those words alone, let’s drain our cups!”

”Bottoms up!”

Shen Nian watched Lu Cheng down his cup in one go. This was the first time she had ever seen him drink. On their wedding day, he had been called away before he even had a chance to make a toast, and she hadn’t had the opportunity to see him drink since.

Now, watching Lu Cheng with her family, boldly downing his cup and sealing his promise with that one gesture, Shen Nian’s heart felt incredibly warm.

”Xiao Nian, Mom was right, wasn’t I? Lu Cheng is a good man. You definitely won’t be losing out by marrying him!”

Seeing that Shen Nian couldn’t take her eyes off Lu Cheng, Miao Cuifen smiled and leaned in to whisper in her ear.

”Mom...”

Shen Nian whined playfully at Miao Cuifen, then shot a careful glance at Lu Cheng. They were all at the same table! Wasn’t her mom afraid Lu Cheng would hear her saying things like that right next to her?

”Alright, alright, Mom won’t say any more. As long as you understand it in your heart!”

”Mom, don’t worry, I understand! I won’t be foolish like I was before!”

”That’s good, that’s good!”

Although Shen Nian and Miao Cuifen were speaking quietly, they were all at the same table. How could the others not hear them?

Shen Jian Country watched Lu Cheng, who, even while drinking with them, didn’t forget to sneak glances at Shen Nian. He felt both amused and proud.

”Come, come! Let them talk. We’ll drink!”

”Dad, you guys should drink a little slower!”

”Alright, alright, we’ll listen to Xiao Nian and drink slower! Our Xiao Nian is different now that she’s married. She knows how to dote on people now!”

”Dad...”

”Drink up, drink up!”

Even though her family teased her from time to time at the table, the meal was a very happy one for everyone.

This first trip back to her family’s home with Shen Nian could be considered a success, as Lu Cheng had earned the approval of the entire Shen family.

However, just as this warm and harmonious meal was drawing to a close, a sudden knock came from the door.

”Who could that be at this hour?”

Miao Cuifen wondered aloud as she got up to open the door. It wasn’t a big deal, but having a nice family meal interrupted still left her feeling a bit displeased.
