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

Shen Nian stared at Lu Cheng, stunned. ’Wasn’t I the one interrogating him? How did this suddenly turn into him launching a sweet-talk offensive against me?!’

’The only woman I’ve ever provoked is you!’ Hearing those words... oh my, why did they sound so sweet?

Lu Cheng saw Shen Nian freeze after hearing his words and knew they’d had an effect. He decided to press his advantage, stepping forward, taking her hands in his, and repeating himself.

”I promise you, in the past, now, or in the future, you’re the only woman I will ever provoke!”

Oh my, those sweet words, one after another, made Shen Nian’s face turn red. The most crucial part was that after he finished speaking, he kept gazing at her with the most tender look, giving her no chance to even catch her breath.

It had to be said, Lu Cheng’s sweet-talking skills were getting better by the day!

”Alright, alright, I believe you! But... you really don’t know who Chu Lingxiu was sticking up for?”

Lu Cheng thought for a moment, then shook his head. Although Chu Lingxiu was a daughter of the Chu Family, he had very few interactions with her. As for who Chu Lingxiu was friends with, Lu Cheng naturally couldn’t care less.

”Alright then.”

After confirming that Lu Cheng genuinely had no idea, Shen Nian felt completely exasperated with Chu Lingxiu.

’To cause a scene in front of me, the legitimate wife, all for someone who has absolutely no presence in Lu Cheng’s eyes... what’s in it for her?’

’Just what kind of person could make Chu Lingxiu go to such lengths for them?’ Shen Nian was actually starting to get a little curious about this person.

But Shen Nian wasn’t in a hurry. If that person’s target was Lu Cheng, they were bound to show themselves eventually.

”Let’s go. We should head back first.”

The misunderstanding was cleared up, so naturally, Lu Cheng didn’t want Shen Nian to stay outside any longer. Besides, as for Chu Lingxiu, he wasn’t about to let her get away with pushing someone and then running off without consequences.

If he let her get away with it today without any punishment, there was no guarantee she wouldn’t do something even more outrageous next time.

”Mm.”

Lu Cheng had left in the middle of a chess game with Chu Zhengwei. At the time, several members of the Chu Family, especially Chu Yunze, had wanted to tease Lu Cheng for getting anxious after not seeing his wife for just a few moments.

So, when he saw Lu Cheng return holding Shen Nian’s hand, Chu Yunze wanted to finish the teasing he’d started. Unfortunately, the moment he approached, he saw Lu Cheng’s grave expression—he clearly looked very unhappy. This made him immediately swallow the words he was about to say.

”Lu Cheng, what’s wrong? What happened?”

Chu Yunze’s question drew the gazes of the other Chu Family members.

Thanks to Shen Nian’s earlier comfort, Lu Cheng’s mood had already improved significantly. The expression on his face now was one he was putting on deliberately. The purpose, of course, was to make the Chu Family fully aware of what Chu Lingxiu had done.

Out of respect for the Chu Family, Lu Cheng wouldn’t deal with Chu Lingxiu directly. But since she dared to bully his wife, he wouldn’t let Chu Lingxiu off easy either!

Lu Cheng understood the Chu Family. Letting them handle the mistake Chu Lingxiu made was the most appropriate course of action.

Lu Cheng kept his brows tightly furrowed and didn’t speak. It was Shen Nian who tugged on his arm from the side.

”It’s nothing. He’s just worried about me.”

”Worried about you? Did something happen? Didn’t you go out with Lingxiu? Where is she?”

Hearing Chu Yunze’s words, Chu Deming and Gao Ruolan both walked over to them. They were, of course, aware that Chu Lingxiu and Shen Nian had gone out together.

Moreover, they hadn’t forgotten Chu Lingxiu’s earlier behavior. Chu Lingxiu had taken Shen Nian out but only Shen Nian had returned, and on top of that, Lu Cheng’s expression was now grim.

All these signs pointed to one conclusion.

”Did... did Lingxiu do something bad again? Xiao Nian, are you alright?”

Gao Ruolan asked. It wasn’t that she didn’t care about her own daughter; Chu Lingxiu had grown up here and knew the compound like the back of her hand, so she definitely wouldn’t get into any trouble.

And they were also genuinely worried. If Chu Lingxiu had really done something to Shen Nian, they would be truly ashamed.
