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

Lu Cheng wasn’t lying. It was just that Guo Chunxiang had never had the chance to taste Shen Nian’s delicious cooking!

Whether the Lu Family truly had peculiar tastes or Lu Cheng was just saying that to defend Shen Nian, Guo Chunxiang was deeply displeased.

’Why should Shen Nian get treated so well by Lu Cheng? Is it just because she’s a bit prettier? My daughter’s not bad-looking, and she’s even a few months older than Shen Nian! But she still doesn’t even have a prospective marriage lined up!’

’Normally, it’s no big deal for a girl of eighteen or nineteen to be unmarried. But Shen Nian from Shen Jian’s family had to go and marry into the Lu Family, and on top of that, Lu Cheng treats her so well!’

’If her daughter ends up marrying someone inferior to Lu Cheng, with in-laws not as prominent as the Lu Family, wouldn’t her family be completely overshadowed by Shen Jian’s family?’

’How could she possibly stand for that!’

Besides, she hadn’t paid close attention last time. Now, seeing him up close, Guo Chunxiang realized that Lu Cheng was actually quite handsome.

’The Lu Family’s circumstances were excellent, and Lu Cheng’s job paid well. How did such a wonderful match not fall into her daughter’s lap? Instead, Shen Nian had lucked into this amazing opportunity!’

’If she had known, she should have swooped in before Shen Jian’s family and secured this great match with the Lu Family for her own daughter! A pity, but it was too late for regrets now!’

Guo Chunxiang’s mind raced as she stared at Lu Cheng. What she didn’t know, however, was that even if she had rushed to the Lu Family to propose a match before Shen Jian’s family ever did, Lu Cheng wouldn’t have given her a second glance.

Seeing Guo Chunxiang staring intently at Lu Cheng, Shen Nian, who knew her aunt was always up to no good, felt a surge of displeasure. ’Who knows what sordid ideas she’s getting, staring at Lu Cheng like that!’

With that thought, Shen Nian shuffled to the side, perfectly blocking Guo Chunxiang’s view of Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng didn’t appreciate Guo Chunxiang’s malicious stare either, but as a grown man being looked over by an elder, it wouldn’t be right for him to lose his temper.

He didn’t expect Shen Nian to suddenly step in front of him, preventing Guo Chunxiang from looking at him any longer.

’Could it be... My little wife is jealous because I’m being stared at?’ The moment that thought crossed his mind, a honey-sweet feeling spread through Lu Cheng’s heart.

He shifted his feet, following Shen Nian’s lead, and completely hid himself from Guo Chunxiang’s view.

’If my wife doesn’t want me to be seen, then I won’t be seen!’

”Sister-in-law, why exactly are you here today? Surely you didn’t run all this way just to complain that our food tastes bad?”

Their perfectly nice family gathering had been ruined by Guo Chunxiang’s arrival, so Miao Cuifen was already displeased. Adding the things Guo Chunxiang had just said about Shen Nian, her tone toward her sister-in-law became exceptionally sharp.

Miao Cuifen’s words snapped Guo Chunxiang back to reality. She had been causing a scene for so long that she’d almost forgotten the actual reason for her visit!

”Oh, listen to me, my memory’s going! I almost forgot my real reason for being here! I’ve actually come with wonderful news today!”

”Well, what is it? Spit it out, Sister-in-law!”

’She should just get on with it and leave,’ Miao Cuifen thought. ’They didn’t believe for a second that Guo Chunxiang would bring any actual good news, let alone that she’d think to share it with their family!’

”Well, I’m here today to play matchmaker for Xiang Dong! A cousin on my mother’s side has a daughter who is twenty this year, two years younger than Xiang Dong. The age is perfect! What’s more, the girl is gorgeous and has a wonderful temperament. The moment I heard, I immediately thought of your Xiang Dong! Your boy is already twenty-two, it’s high time he started thinking about settling down!”

It was true that at twenty-two, Shen Xiangdong was old enough to be thinking about marriage. However, the Shen Family highly doubted that anyone introduced by Guo Chunxiang could really be as wonderful as she claimed.

’This sister-in-law of theirs was the type who was terrified they might catch a lucky break; she’d hoard every good opportunity for her own family if she could.’

However, before Shen Jian Country and Miao Cuifen could voice their refusal, Shen Nian cried out sharply from the side.

”Absolutely not! I refuse!”
