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

Chapter 268: Chapter 268: I’m Already Married

"Absolutely not!"

Mr. He had barely finished speaking when a dissenting voice cut in. To the surprise of the entire He Family, the first person to object was Shen Xiangdong.

But even if Shen Xiangdong hadn’t spoken up, there was no way Shen Nian would have agreed to Mr. He’s request.

"Xiang Dong, why not? You can rest assured, my eldest grandson is a fine young man, both in looks and character. He and Nian are a great match. Once Nian marries into our family, everyone will be sure to treat her well!"

He Yixiong looked at Shen Xiangdong and spoke patiently. However, no matter how he tried to persuade him, Shen Xiangdong simply shook his head and repeated, "Absolutely not."

Shen Nian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She truly hadn’t expected Mr. He would make such a request. Before Mr. He could say anything more outrageous, Shen Nian knew she had to step in and stop him.

"Grandpa He, my brother is right. It’s really not possible."

"Why not! Don’t tell me, Nian, that you don’t think my grandson is good enough for you?"

"Of course not. Grandpa He, I’m sure your grandson is an excellent man. It’s just... I’m already married!"

Shen Nian didn’t elaborate, simply stating the fact that she was married. ’Now that they know I’m married, they won’t keep insisting, right?’

It was a good thing Lu Cheng wasn’t here today. Otherwise, knowing his personality—a man who’d get jealous even of his own sister—who knows how furious he would have become!

Far away on a mission a thousand miles from home, Lu Cheng suddenly sneezed, startling the subordinate behind him.

"Group Leader, are you all right?"

’Our current conditions aren’t great. Any of us can get sick, but the Group Leader absolutely cannot!’

"I’m fine."

Lu Cheng said, sniffling.

"That’s good, that’s good! I never expected the environment at this mission site to be so awful. It’s a good thing you brought that medicine, Group Leader. Otherwise, the injured guys in our unit would’ve bled to death, the ones with diarrhea would’ve pooped themselves to death, and even the healthy ones would’ve been eaten alive by mosquitos. Bah, bah, bah, why am I going on about death and dying!"

The young man beside Lu Cheng chattered on, then slapped his own cheeks, warning himself to watch his mouth.

Lu Cheng listened without a word. He hadn’t expected that the medicine Shen Nian gave him before he left would all turn out to be so useful.

If they could complete this mission successfully, Shen Nian would deserve a large part of the credit.

’I just wonder how my little wife is doing right now. Is she missing me?’

’Because I’ve been missing her so much!’

’I miss her so, so much! I wish I could be by her side right this instant!’

"Stay sharp. Keep a close watch."

’I have to finish this mission quickly. That way, I can get back quickly and see my little wife!’

When they heard Shen Nian say she was already married, the members of the He Family, who had been looking at Shen Xiangdong, instantly snapped their gazes back to Shen Nian, completely dumbfounded.

"What?"

"Nian, you said you’re already married?"

"That’s right! I’m already married, so I can only thank you for the kind offer, Grandpa He."

"Nonsense! You’re only eighteen, you haven’t even started college yet! How could you be married? Your family is being completely irresponsible! Nian, tell me, are you in some kind of trouble? Were you forced into this?"

He Yixiong now pictured Shen Nian as a poor child, forced by her family to marry at such a tender age.

"Grandpa He, I’m not in any trouble. My family is wonderful to me, and my husband treats me very well, too!"

Shen Nian continued to explain, still not knowing whether to laugh or cry. ’I’m doing perfectly fine, so why is the He Family looking at me like I’m some poor, pitiful thing?’

"Your husband? Wait... was it that man who was with you on the train last time?"
