Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 1046: Don’t Make Fun of Me

Huo Zhongming sniffed the fragrance of the tea and teased the two, "When will I be drinking at your wedding?"

He Jinxuan glanced at Xinyan and smiled faintly, "Don’t worry, once the date is set, you’ll definitely be informed."

Of course, he wanted it to be as soon as possible. He had already gotten approval from the father-in-law, but ultimately, it depended on Xinyan. Yet, he didn’t want to talk about this with others.

Huo Zhongming poured a cup of brewed Pu’er tea for each of them, took a sip from his own cup, and excitedly said, "This tea is even and bright, with a mellow taste and sweet aftertaste, really nice."

Afterwards, the three of them enjoyed the tea and chatted happily.

Seeing the time was about right, He Jinxuan gave Xinyan a look, and Xinyan feigned a casual tone, "Brother Huo, may I take a tour around here?"

Huo Zhongming hesitated slightly upon hearing Xinyan’s request, recalling that the office doors here would be locked during off-hours, but there was nothing off-limits elsewhere. "Of course you can."

Xinyan stood up with a smile, "You guys chat, I’ll just wander around."

He Jinxuan waved his hand at her, "I knew you wouldn’t be able to sit still."

After Xinyan left, He Jinxuan said, "Let me borrow your office phone to give my father-in-law a peace of mind."

Actually, he just wanted to buy some time for Xinyan. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Huo Zhongming pointed at the phone on the desk with a smile, "Earlier, I didn’t mention, since your fiancée was here, but since you’re engaged, it’s better to pick a date to get married early, lest dreams be too long."

He Jinxuan laughed as he dialed the number, "I would have liked to take care of it sooner, but back when we got engaged, my father-in-law was worried about affecting Xinyan’s studies, so he suggested waiting until she graduated to get married. I completely understand, so I agreed."

He didn’t mention it was Xinyan who made the request; he let her father, Han Jingchen, take the blame.

Just as he finished speaking, the call connected, "Please transfer me to xxxxxxx."

Han Jingchen had just finished a meeting and returned to his office when the phone rang.

He quickly walked over and answered, "Hello, who is this?"

He Jinxuan heard the question, "Uncle, it’s me, Jinxuan."

Upon hearing it was Jinxuan, Han Jingchen asked, "Is everything going smoothly for you on your way back?"

He Jinxuan understood what his father-in-law meant by that, "Yes, everything is smooth, we’ll definitely be back in the capital before cousin gets married."

Han Jingchen heard someone heading toward his office, "Alright, take care and look after Yanyan."

Being a smart man, he didn’t rashly suggest letting his daughter answer the phone, because he knew Jinxuan well enough to know that if Xinyan was next to him, she’d be the one talking to him first.

Since he didn’t hear his daughter’s voice, she must not be there.

Before they left, they had said they wanted to check out the little white building, so based on his deductions, the two should be back at the Mechanical Factory today, and he just followed Jinxuan’s lead in the conversation.

They chatted for a few more minutes before He Jinxuan said, "If there’s nothing urgent at home, we’re thinking of visiting Granny Zhang tomorrow."

Han Jingchen gave a few more reminders before preparing to hang up.

He Jinxuan understood his concerns but also wanted to convey reassurance promptly, saying before hanging up: "That girl Xinyan isn’t by my side right now. Rest assured, I’ll take good care of her."

Huo Zhongming watched him hang up and jested, "What, do you have to report back to the father-in-law?"

He Jinxuan returned to his original seat, "I saw the phone on your desk and thought I’d make a call to give them peace of mind. Don’t tease me."

On the other side, Xinyan, naturally wouldn’t enter the locked rooms; she came today just to check out the storage room on the rooftop.

Before arriving, they learned that since the place was renovated, all old and unused items from the building were stored in the room on the rooftop.

Xinyan had a clear goal, so she just took a casual look on the second floor and headed upstairs.

When she got up there, she saw the door leading outside was tied with a cable wire, and without a second thought, she directly untied it and went up to the rooftop.

She headed straight for the room.

Perhaps they thought there was nothing valuable here, or for the convenience of storing things, so the lock hanging on the door wasn’t locked but just placed there.
