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

Chapter 427: Chapter 457: I’m Still by Your Side

The plane took off quickly. Once the brief period of discomfort passed, it had already climbed above the clouds. Looking at the cotton-like cloud formations, anyone flying for the first time would be extremely excited.

After that, there were only the twinkling dots of light on the ground below. From such a height, they looked particularly exquisite and unique.

Qin Jiao, however, remained perfectly calm, let out a yawn, and took out a law textbook. She began reading it intently, underlining and making notes with a pen as she went.

Shen Yi didn’t disturb her. He also took out one of his own textbooks and began to read it intently.

When Du Liya and Beidou turned around to see what the young couple was up to, they were surprised to find them both studying!

Du Liya turned back around and sighed. "Suddenly, I’m glad Xiao Yi isn’t like me."

If Xiao Yi weren’t so driven, wouldn’t he be left in the dust by Xiao Jiao in no time?

But to Beidou, beauty was in the eye of the beholder. He kissed Du Liya’s forehead and said, "Liya, you’re the most perfect person in the world to me!"

"By the way, about us getting married... what does your family really think? You said before that they were all supportive, but I find that hard to believe."

Although Du Liya was a bit naive, she knew her own situation wasn’t ideal. After all, she was divorced and older than Beidou.

Beidou quickly smiled and reassured her, "The people I care about have all given their blessing. As for the ones I don’t care about, why should we worry about what they think?"

Du Liya thought about it. ’That makes sense, doesn’t it?’

The flight lasted over ten hours. It was nearly noon when they landed. They had eaten something on the plane but were still hungry. One of Beidou’s cousins picked them up from the airport and took the group to their hotel first.

The wedding was a Western-style ceremony, scheduled for the day after tomorrow, which would give everyone a chance to rest.

However, when Qin Jiao learned that only one room had been booked for her and Shen Yi, she froze for a moment.

Du Liya whispered, "Sorry, Xiao Jiao. They don’t know about your situation. Look, if it’s a problem, I can get you another room."

As she said this, she was also testing the waters, still unsure if there had been any progress in the two kids’ relationship.

Qin Jiao saw that there were two single beds and felt relieved. Besides, if things got really awkward, she still had her space.

So she said, "There’s no need to change it. This is fine."

Hearing this, Du Liya was, as expected, overjoyed!

’Does this mean it won’t be long before I get an upgrade to grandma!’

Luckily, Qin Jiao didn’t know what Du Liya was thinking. She and Shen Yi took their luggage, went into the room first, and agreed to meet in the hotel restaurant for dinner in an hour.

Shen Yi carried both of their suitcases, leaving Qin Jiao with just her backpack.

He said, "There’s still enough time. Go take a shower and get some sleep."

"No, we have to eat soon. I’ll rest after dinner." In truth, thanks to the years of nourishment from the Spiritual Spring Water, Qin Jiao’s body was in excellent condition, so she wasn’t tired at all.

She walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the bustling streets below, saying softly, "Shen Yi, this feels like a dream."

Shen Yi came over and hugged her from behind. When she didn’t pull away, he pushed his luck and planted a small kiss on her ear.

"Why do you say it feels like a dream?"

"It’s just so completely different from my last life."

"One thing is the same."

"What?"

"I’m still by your side."

Qin Jiao turned her head. Seeing Shen Yi’s earnest expression, she thought for a moment, then wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

Shen Yi instantly froze on the spot!

’This... this... this... this is the first time Jiao Jiao has ever initiated a kiss!’
