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

”Big Brother, then... what should I do?”

Shen Xiangnan was truly at a loss. He already knew the truth, but he didn’t want to upset their parents or Shen Nian.

”So what if you know? So what if you really go and demand the truth from Mom and Dad? Are you saying you don’t want to acknowledge Xiao Nian as your sister anymore?”

”How is that possible! How could I ever not want to acknowledge my sister!”

The depth of Shen Xiangnan’s affection for Shen Nian was obvious. Even when Qin Xueling had influenced Shen Nian and strained their relationship, Shen Xiangnan had never been angry with her. Instead, he had only ever wanted Shen Nian to stay away from that terrible woman.

How could he possibly cast aside a bond forged since childhood!

”Since that’s how you feel, does it really matter whether or not Xiao Nian is Mom and Dad’s biological daughter? No matter who gave birth to her, she’s still the same Shen Nian who grew up with us. She’s still the sister you adore, isn’t she?”

Shen Xiangdong paused, looking at Shen Xiangnan and waiting for him to digest what he had said.

”Yeah! No matter what, she’s my sister!”

”It’s good that you’ve figured it out. From now on, no matter what happens, try to use your head more. Don’t be so impulsive all the time.”

”Big Brother, I get it. From now on, I’ll keep this secret locked away in my heart and never tell anyone. My sister... she’s just my sister. My real sister! Whether Mom and Dad are her birth parents or not, she’s still my sister!”

”That’s more like it!”

”But, Big Brother... do you think her biological parents will show up one day?”

The thought of someone coming to take his sister away from him made Shen Xiangnan extremely agitated.

”Even if that day comes, we will always be Xiao Nian’s family!”

”Right. She’ll always be my sister!”

After Shen Xiangdong’s guidance, Shen Xiangnan had finally come to terms with the situation. In fact, this incident had arguably made his bond with Shen Nian even stronger than before.

”Get some rest. And remember, don’t let anything slip in front of Mom, Dad, or Xiao Nian. Just act the same as you always do. Don’t let this change your attitude in any way!”

Shen Xiangdong was speaking from experience. He had been just a child when he found out, yet he had managed to act as if he knew nothing at all in front of their parents.

”Big Brother, you’re amazing. I heard what Mom and Dad said today and completely lost my cool, but you’ve managed to keep this to yourself for so many years without ever showing the slightest sign.”

”Well, how else could I be your big brother?”

”...”

”Alright, I’m heading back to my room. Remember what I told you tonight!”

”Yeah, I will!”

After Shen Xiangdong left, Shen Xiangnan didn’t leave his room again. He had wanted to ask Shen Jian Country something earlier, but now he was in no mood to do so.

Although he had resolved to take this secret to his grave, Shen Xiangnan’s heart was still in turmoil and wouldn’t quiet down.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

But after tonight, everything would return to normal—at least on the surface, nothing would change at all.

That night, the Shen Family was agonizing over Shen Nian’s origins, but Shen Nian herself was completely oblivious to it all.

Right now, with her period having arrived, she was being kept in her room to rest by Lu Cheng.

After Lu Cheng left the room, Shen Nian lay on the bed and drifted off into a hazy sleep. In her dream, she felt a pleasant warmth spread through her body, and the faint discomfort in her lower abdomen completely vanished.

When Shen Nian awoke and opened her eyes, she saw Lu Cheng sitting beside her. His hands were under the covers, warming her lower abdomen.
