Back to the 1980s: Becoming the Villain's Lucky Wife

Chapter 426: Chapter 456: Not Going to That Treacherous Banquet

Half an hour later, Qin Jiao was sitting in the passenger seat. Shen Yi drove steadily, but he looked furious.

Qin Jiao couldn’t help but remind him, "Focus on the road. If you can’t, I’ll drive."

"Jiao Jiao, you can’t say a man ’can’t.’ How about one of these days you let me give you a demonstration?"

"Ha ha."

"Never mind. I was just wondering, what the hell is that bastard Shen Feng up to? Claiming you ’helped’ him... why doesn’t he just say you helped him cross the street?"

Qin Jiao had to laugh. "All right, all right. It’s not like I actually went to his little trap, did I?"

"And that Sun Lili is an idiot. Can’t she see her boyfriend is a beast in human form?"

Whether before his rebirth or after, Shen Yi and Shen Feng were always at each other’s throats—irreconcilable, mortal enemies.

Qin Jiao said, "Sun Lili is no pushover, either. Things will get interesting next year when Lin Nian shows up."

’Shen Feng will be so busy putting out fires then that he won’t have time to cause trouble for us.’

Shen Yi thought that made sense. He said, "Let’s not talk about them. They’re not important. Jiao Jiao, we’re going to Country S soon. Remember to take those days off."

"How long will we be gone?"

"About a week in total. It’s a rare opportunity, and Beidou invited us to do some sightseeing while we’re there."

Qin Jiao really did want to go. She was already thinking about bringing her family on a trip like this in the future, once she had the chance.

This would be a perfect chance to scout out some travel routes. Then next time, she could bring her parents and sister with her.

Christmas Day arrived quickly. Du Liya and Beidou had been worried that Qin Jiao might be uncomfortable on her first trip abroad. To their surprise, she filled out the forms more smoothly than they did, and when a flight attendant spoke to her in English, she answered fluently.

She didn’t seem like a first-time traveler at all.

Du Liya sighed in admiration. "That girl is so clever. Some things just come naturally to her."

Beidou wholeheartedly agreed.

Qin Jiao and Shen Yi were seated behind Du Liya and Beidou. She took the window seat. Since it was an evening flight, it was already dark outside.

Shen Yi leaned over. "Your ears might pop during takeoff. It can be a little uncomfortable. I have some candy, want one?"

"Okay." Qin Jiao reached for a piece, and her fingertips brushed against his palm. Hers were cool, while his was scorching hot.

Shen Yi watched her quietly.

Qin Jiao pressed her lips together, unwrapped the candy, and popped it into her mouth. "What are you looking at?" she asked.

"My girlfriend."

"Don’t you recognize me?"

"That’s not it. It’s just... I can never get enough of looking at you."

"..."

Qin Jiao shot him a speechless glare and pinched his thigh. ’Stop talking nonsense! Du Liya and Beidou are sitting right in front of us!’

But Shen Yi just grinned. The pinch didn’t hurt at all. Instead, he reached out and took her hand in his.

’This is great.’ Ever since Qin Jiao agreed to try dating him, she never refused whenever he wanted to hold her hand, no matter where they were.

He could even steal a kiss every now and then.

’Of course, he wasn’t satisfied with just this. There were other things he’d been thinking about for a long time, but he knew Jiao Jiao preferred to let things happen naturally.’

Shen Yi was like a patient hunter, stalking his own love.

Qin Jiao knew Shen Yi was just pretending to be on his best behavior around her. In reality, he was as cunning as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but she wouldn’t call him out on it.

’The reason she was still hesitant was that she wanted to see just how long he would keep this up.’

’After all, when it came to love and marriage, she really couldn’t afford to lose.’
