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

”Your husband? Wait, was it that man who was with you on the train last time?”

Hearing Shen Nian mention her husband, a thought suddenly struck He Hongming.

”Yes, he’s my husband.”

Shen Nian looked at He Hongming and nodded. ’With He Hongming as a witness, Grandpa He can’t possibly still disbelieve me, right?’

”Hongming, you’ve met Nian’s husband?”

Sure enough, upon hearing what He Hongming said, He Yixiong’s attention shifted to him.

”Yes. When Xiao Nian saved you on the train, her husband helped out a lot, too.”

He Yixiong nodded. ’If that’s the case, doesn’t that make Shen Nian’s husband something of a benefactor to me as well?’

However, He Yixiong had no intention of letting the topic end there.

”Well then, since you’ve met Xiao Nian’s husband, tell me, what kind of person is he?”

He Yixiong needed to be certain that Shen Nian’s husband was a genuinely good man, someone truly worthy of her. Only then could he rest easy and abandon his hope of making Shen Nian his family’s granddaughter-in-law.

He wouldn’t be so quick to believe it if Shen Nian herself boasted about how wonderful her husband was, but if the words came from his own son, he would have no choice but to believe them.

However, when He Hongming heard his father’s question, he was a bit stunned.

He had met Shen Nian’s husband, that much was true. But at the time, his attention had been entirely focused on his ailing father! He could remember Lu Cheng’s existence, but now, being asked to clearly describe what kind of person Lu Cheng was... he truly didn’t know what to say.

”What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?”

”Dad, I was almost completely preoccupied with your health back then. I only remember that Xiao Nian’s husband had a decent appearance and demeanor, and that he seemed like a good match for her. Other than that, I can’t say anything more.”

”How could you be so...”

He Yixiong had wanted to call him useless, but then he remembered his younger son had only been acting that way out of concern for him. For the sake of his son’s filial piety, he decided to let it go. ’Forget it. I won’t scold him.’

”Grandpa He, I know you mean well, but my life is very good right now. My husband and I have a great relationship, so you don’t need to worry!”

”Alright, alright. Your Grandpa He is just disappointed that you can’t be our family’s granddaughter-in-law!”

The elderly Mr. He Yixiong looked so aggrieved as he spoke to Shen Nian, he seemed no different from a pouting child.

”Dad, I have an idea. Since you like Xiao Nian so much, why don’t you just adopt her as your god-granddaughter?”

Hearing his older son’s words, He Yixiong’s eyes instantly lit up. ’That’s right, why didn’t I think of that! If she can’t be my granddaughter-in-law, being my granddaughter is good too!’

”Yes, yes, yes, that’s a great idea, Eldest! Nian, are you willing to call me ’Grandpa’?”

The He Family’s enthusiasm truly caught Shen Nian by surprise, but she could sense that they were all very good people.

Besides, looking at the eager expression in He Yixiong’s eyes, Shen Nian found she really couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

”Grandpa.”

’It seems having another grandpa to dote on me isn’t a bad thing after all!’

”Ah, good, that’s wonderful! Our family is full of unruly boys. I never thought that I, He Yixiong, would gain a granddaughter today! Nian, call me ’Grandpa’ again so I can hear it.”

”Grandpa.”

Calling him once was the same as calling him twice. If it would make He Yixiong happy, Shen Nian certainly wasn’t going to be stingy about it.
