Chapter 1253: Who Needs Pride in Front of Their Wife?

Sister Shen threw the orange peel in her hand: "Vice Captain Lu’s wife, Fu Guangying, is pregnant."

Xinyan thought: This couple really doesn’t miss a beat.

Sister Shen glanced at Xinyan’s belly: "Xinyan, has there been any movement in your belly?"

Xinyan laughed: "When Jinxuan and I got married, we agreed to postpone having children. After all, I’m still in school."

Sister Shen nodded: "That’s true. If you did get pregnant, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to continue your studies."

Thinking about what happened before: "Sister Shen, how did they handle Vice Captain Lu’s motorcycle accident?"

Sister Shen clapped her hands: "Oh, don’t mention it, Vice Captain Lu has had some luck. He actually ended up benefiting from the Zhai Family’s son-in-law.

The person hit in the accident had a fractured leg and other superficial injuries, but it looked quite scary. That person had a cousin working in the hospital, and they exaggerated the seriousness to get more compensation."

Vice Captain Lu had just married and couldn’t afford the compensation, so the family seized the motorcycle. The Zhai Family wasn’t having it. The motorcycle wasn’t theirs, and it was hard enough to explain the accident without losing the bike too. How could they face the owner again?

But Fu Guangying is quite a tough one, directly starting to play tricks, telling the family that the motorcycle wasn’t theirs. Perhaps she wanted to use Zhai Songyuan’s brother-in-law’s status to suppress them, but it backfired. The family then approached Zhai Songyuan’s brother-in-law.

The Zhai Family’s son-in-law works in a government department, and they couldn’t afford to lose face. That’s how the partial compensation agreement came about.

But the family of the person who was hit was very greedy, constantly changing their demands, which angered the Zhai Family’s son-in-law, who found fault with them, almost getting him fired from his job."

This was the turning point, and the family stopped making excessive demands. Besides medical bills, they took a one-thousand-yuan compensation, and the matter was resolved.

But Fu Guangying really is hard to deal with. Because of the compensation issue, she kept bickering with the Zhai Family, who, to quickly resolve the matter and not affect the son-in-law’s job, indeed took on part of the burden."

Xinyan didn’t quite get it: "Isn’t Fu Guangying afraid of offending the Zhai Family, of the Zhai Family’s son-in-law giving Vice Captain Lu trouble?"

Sister Shen shook her head: "People talked about this a lot in private, saying all sorts of things, but the real story, no one knows."

Sister Shen stayed a while longer but had things to do at home, so she left.

Not long after she left, He Jinxuan came back. As soon as he entered, he embraced Xinyan, who was busy in the kitchen: "Did you finally remember me?"

Xinyan felt a bit guilty. She had indeed been too busy lately and neglected family: "I’m sorry, I realized my mistake, and came home as soon as I was done."

He Jinxuan held her tightly, whispering in her ear: "Have you thought about how to make it up to me?"

Xinyan turned and kissed him on the cheek: "I’ll let you decide."

Hearing Xinyan’s words, He Jinxuan felt a surge of excitement: "You said it, no take-backs."

Before Xinyan could respond, he couldn’t help but give her a hard kiss on the neck, in case she said he was acting like a dog: "Just a little interest for now."

The couple bantered in the kitchen for a while longer before He Jinxuan took the knife from Xinyan’s hand: "You sit down, I’ll handle dinner."

He didn’t forget to whisper in Xinyan’s ear: "Save your energy, make sure to properly compensate your man tonight."

Xinyan punched him lightly: "You say anything, don’t you? Where’s your shame?"

He Jinxuan was clearly excited: "Why do I need to be shy in front of my wife?"

This made Xinyan roll her eyes dramatically: "Focus on cooking."

He Jinxuan gave Xinyan a confident look: "Yes, ma’am."

Thinking about Sister Shen’s earlier conversation, she casually brought it up with He Jinxuan: "Why do you think the Zhai Family agreed to share the compensation?"

He Jinxuan placed the chopped vegetables in a bowl, replying calmly: "If I’m not mistaken, Vice Captain Lu probably has dirt on Zhai Songyuan’s father."

Xinyan’s face lit up with understanding, making He Jinxuan laugh: "Alright, stop worrying about other people’s business, focus on me more."

Seeing his pitiful expression made Xinyan laugh out loud. She hugged his neck: "Okay, I won’t talk about them, just focus on you."

He Jinxuan fed a piece of spiced beef to Xinyan: "That’s more like it. I’ve missed you to death.

With the end of the year approaching, the team’s been so busy, I haven’t had time to visit the courtyard and be with you. Now that I finally see you, no distractions."

So Xinyan decided not to sit anymore, hugging He Jinxuan from behind, resting her head on his back, talking about her achievements over time, occasionally acting spoiled asking for praise. The sweet atmosphere in the kitchen was almost overwhelming.
