Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 1001: Who Comforts People Like You?

Sun Zhenling stepped forward and hugged Xinyan: "Cousin, you’re really the best. A few days ago, I saw a wool sweater at the department store, but it was too expensive, and I couldn’t bring myself to buy it.

This one you gave me is even trendier than that one. You really know me, cousin, it suits my taste perfectly, so I won’t stand on ceremony with you."

She started to try the sweater on, delighted: "Cousin, I just made a pair of black straight-cut pants, and they go perfectly with this sweater."

Seeing how much she liked it, Xinyan’s face was full of smiles too; "As long as you like it."

Watching her carefully fold up the sweater, she finally asked: "Why did you decide to get engaged so quickly?"

Sun Zhenling plopped down on the bed: "Did you hear about what happened recently from Uncle?"

Xinyan nodded: "Yes, I was at home that day."

Thinking about those events, Sun Zhenling wasn’t very happy: "Cousin, Yikai is really good to me, and I also really like him. I’ve thought it through carefully; if I were to give up on him because of his family, it would really hurt me.

To ensure I have a peaceful life in the future, Yikai said he’d be willing to marry into my family, so even if that Xiang Family remains shameless, they wouldn’t have any reason to visit."

Xinyan thought about Yuan Yikai, raised by Wang Xiaodan: "And what does his aunt think?"

Sun Zhenling looked out the window: "His aunt agreed, and she promptly moved out of the distillery’s housing and applied for a dormitory at her workplace."

Xinyan nodded lightly: "It seems his aunt genuinely cares for him. You should treat her well in the future."

Sun Zhenling replied: "I will, his aunt has really been good to me. Yikai once told me that someone was pursuing his aunt, but she turned them down."

Xinyan asked curiously: "What was her reason for refusing?"

Sun Zhenling got up to pour Xinyan a glass of water, handing it to her: "His aunt said that at her age, she didn’t want to cause any more trouble. Besides, she couldn’t have children herself and would only end up serving someone else, so why give up a comfortable life to take on unnecessary hardships?"

Xinyan nodded: "She seems to have a clear mind. Get along well in the future."

Just as they were chatting, they heard a commotion outside: "The in-laws are here, come, come, sit inside."

Xinyan stood up too, looking at Sun Zhenling: "They’re here."

Sun Zhenling glanced out the window: "Cousin, I’m a bit nervous."

Xinyan patted her shoulder and joked: "Weren’t you the fearless one, even daring to go against your family, so why are you nervous now?"

With Xinyan’s teasing, Sun Zhenling burst into a smile: "What kind of comfort is that?!"

Xinyan laughed: "I wasn’t trying to comfort you, couldn’t you tell?"

Sun Zhenling pouted: "And I still call you cousin, hmph!"

Xinyan amusedly watched her expression: "Alright, take a deep breath, you should head out."

By now, Sun Zhenling had adjusted her mood: "Okay."

Just as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door: "Sis, Mom’s calling you over."

Sun Zhenling and Xinyan exchanged a glance: "Got it, I’m coming."

As they went over, the living room was buzzing with lively conversation: "In-laws, since the children like each other and have mutual feelings, there’s nothing more we need to say."

Xinyan looked at the person speaking and thought: That must be Yuan Yikai’s aunt, she doesn’t look old at all.

Han Chunxue saw them coming in and waved them over: "Come, come and meet everyone."

Sun Zhenling was a step quicker than Xinyan, stepping forward to greet: "Auntie."

After greeting, she sneakily glanced at Yuan Yikai beside her.

Wang Xiaodan smiled and pulled Sun Zhenling over: "Oh my, our Zhenling is getting prettier and prettier."

Sun Zhenling’s face turned red at Wang Xiaodan’s praise: "No way, Auntie, stop flattering me."

At this moment, the wife of the head of the distillery’s sales department chimed in: "Your aunt isn’t just flattering you, your skin is actually really nice, girl."

Sun Zhenling was genuinely confident in her skin, ever since she started using the moisturizer her cousin gave her, her skin became two shades lighter and stayed supple, her colleagues often admired her.

Many people even asked what face cream she used, saying they wanted some too, but unfortunately, her cousin was too busy, so she didn’t quite have the nerve to ask her cousin about it.
