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

Shen Nian looked at Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying, her brow furrowed. ’Infuriating. Of course it’s infuriating!’

’It’d be one thing if they were just saying other things about me, but to actually claim there are problems with my relationship with Lu Cheng! We have such a good relationship, what problems could there possibly be?!’

”Who did they say I’m having an inappropriate relationship with? And what did they say is wrong with my relationship with Lu Cheng?”

Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying could clearly hear the anger in Shen Nian’s voice. And just like that, the two of them, who had been furious moments before, began to calm down.

If the things they’d heard had made even them this angry, it was no wonder the subject of the rumors, Shen Nian herself, was enraged.

’As her friends, we’re supposed to be comforting her, not fanning the flames of her anger!’

Still, they had no intention of hiding what they’d heard from her. No matter how angry it made her, Shen Nian deserved to know.

But when it came to that person, Lin Jingyun couldn’t help but feel a fresh wave of indignation. ’Of all the people to pick, they had to pick *him*. They really have terrible judgment!’

”That just makes me madder! Of all people, they’re saying there’s something going on between you and Meng Chengyu! I even suspect Meng Chengyu started the rumor himself! One look at that guy and I could tell he was shady!”

”Exactly!”

Zhang Ying nodded in agreement as Lin Jingyun spoke. The rumor had zero credibility. Besides, plenty of people had seen how Shen Nian acted when the siblings, Meng Sijia and Meng Chengyu, came looking for her the other day. Anyone who still claimed there was something going on between Shen Nian and Meng Chengyu had to be blind.

That was why when Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying heard the gossip, they’d immediately shut it down. The gossipers, knowing full well they were in the wrong, couldn’t even muster a single word in response.

Shen Nian frowned. She had noticed today that Meng Chengyu had ill intentions toward her, but she didn’t really believe he was the one who had started these rumors.

’It wasn’t that I trust his character, but this just doesn’t align with his actions today. From the looks of it, his plan was to get close to me gradually and win me over. Why would he do something so blatant?’

’Still, this shouldn’t be too difficult to clear up. After all, plenty of people saw my attitude toward the Meng siblings yesterday. Surely not everyone is foolish enough to believe a rumor so riddled with holes.’

”So, what was the other part?”

”The other part?”

Lin Jingyun asked in surprise, but she immediately realized what Shen Nian meant. ”The other part” was clearly the rumor about her and Lu Cheng’s relationship being on the rocks.

”Xiao Nian, whatever I say, you can’t get angry! Or, even if you do, be angry at them. Don’t work yourself up over it!”

”Sister Jingyun, just say it. I’m not that fragile.”

Shen Nian had been fuming, but Lin Jingyun’s words actually helped dissipate a good deal of her anger.

”Okay, I’ll tell you! They’re just awful. They’re saying that even though you’re married, Xiao Nian, you’re still a virgin. And they’re saying it’s either because Mr. Lu doesn’t like you, or... that your Mr. Lu can’t perform!”

”...”

Shen Nian was incredibly grateful she wasn’t drinking anything when Lin Jingyun said that. Otherwise, she would have sprayed it everywhere.

’I’d been imagining all sorts of things, but I never would have guessed the rumor would be something like *this*!’

’It takes a special kind of talent to come up with a rumor like that!’
