Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 680 - 658: Graduation Time

As long as she doesn’t provoke her, Lin Wan won’t make things difficult for her. Of course, that depends on the situation. Ye Qing is now desperately hiding her son.

But Lin Wan won’t let her have her way. Now everyone back home knows about Ye Qing seducing a married man, getting pregnant before marriage, and having a child for him.

If the Mei Family were to find out about this, who knows if Ye Qing would still be able to handle it.

....

Qiu Hualan didn’t go home for the New Year this year, and Ye Weijun was also not in S City. She spent a relaxed New Year alone, buying whatever she wanted to eat. Normally, the money her daughter sent her couldn’t be spent by herself.

It’s just... there was one thing she couldn’t let go of.

It was the night of the first day of the New Year.

Originally, Qiu Hualan was very grateful to Du Guangjun for tricking Ye Weijun away. Seeing that he was alone, she initially thought of inviting him to have dinner at her place on New Year’s Eve.

Who knew he had a daughter, and his daughter immediately took him home for the New Year. The two families weren’t far apart. Du Guangjun returned the next day.

Only then did Qiu Hualan come out of her disappointment. In the evening, she prepared a table full of dishes to invite Du Guangjun over for dinner, as a way to thank him for his previous help.

During this period, Qiu Hualan and Du Guangjun learned some of the local customs there, which included drinking and eating meat heartily. Although not as exaggerated, she did develop a habit of having a small drink before meals occasionally.

That day, Hua Hua had been fussy all day and fell asleep early, leaving Qiu Hualan and Du Guangjun chatting happily, which inevitably led to a few too many drinks.

As a result, the two ended up in bed... Neither could remember who initiated it.

All they knew was that Du Guangjun in bed brought her more pleasure than Ye Weijun and Wu Guodong back in the day.

With Wu Guodong, it happened only once or twice before the New Year, and it wasn’t enjoyable. Then after marrying Ye Weijun, who knew nothing about romance, every time was either violent or self-satisfying.

The previous night, shamelessly speaking, was the most exciting and passionate one she had experienced over the years.

Du Guangjun, too, was strong for his age. They had spent quite a bit of time together that night...

After the incident, Du Guangjun came to her personally to apologize. He also indicated that if things really couldn’t work out with that person, just get a divorce.

What moved her the most was Du Guangjun’s offer to marry her!

When she was young, she had foolishly believed she could find someone suitable to spend her life with, to bear children for. She once fantasized about it with Wu Guodong, even planning their future lives.

Never could she have imagined the eventual outcome would be so different. Later, she met Ye Weijun and her heart gradually died.

So many years passed, and suddenly, a man was willing to marry her, without caring about her past.

How could it not make her heart flutter? How could it not?

For a moment, Qiu Hualan almost rushed back and divorced Ye Weijun without regard for anything.

Now, Du Guangjun treats her exceptionally well, helping her take care of the children, accompanying her to buy groceries, cooking. They’re like an old married couple.

Since then, they had been together two more times. Each time made Qiu Hualan addicted. At her age, Qiu Hualan was incredibly shy.

Not knowing what to do. She dared not even tell her daughter, for fear that if she found out, she would face her opposition.

This dragged on into the summer. The two became tacitly understanding, living like old husband and wife.

....

Lin Wan, Su Ling, and the other three are busy with evaluations these days. If they fail in any courses this time, they will have to study at home for a year and retake the exams next year until they pass.

Fortunately, Lin Wan was proficient in all the subjects. She passed all the evaluations smoothly and just waited to receive her graduation certificate.

Su Ling and Yin Peibai also barely passed, especially Peibai, who is now pregnant and can’t afford to miss classes every night and has to be busy with both studying and working at home.

Even though she’s pregnant, she hasn’t gained any weight, and narrowly missed failing a subject by just half a point.

But when she saw her results later, she was still excited and thrilled.

"All my hard work paid off. Just half a point, and I almost had to spend another year reviewing. A whole year! If I wasn’t attentive regularly, the retakes would be even harder."

"Exactly, look at our class president. His regular grades were pretty good, yet now he failed two subjects in a row. The next year will be tough for him," Su Ling teased their class president, looking quite smug.

Provoking a sigh from the class president, "Alright, alright, stop teasing me. I still have a long way to go with these retakes."

Rarely all classmates gathered together for exams, some elated, some worried, but they ultimately graduated.

Lin Wan had a camera. The class suggested taking a group photo together as a memento.

They agreed to meet at the entrance of the school building for a photo session tomorrow morning.

..."Mom, I graduated. The past six months, I couldn’t have done it without your help taking care of the children. I won’t have to attend classes at night anymore." That evening, Lin Wan returned home happily and spoke to her mother-in-law.

"It’s good that you graduated, how were the grades?"

"Not bad, all passed."

Shen Qing was also happy, and then she said, "So, Xiao Yi is going to be on vacation soon, right? This is good, you two won’t have to be apart every day anymore. Xiao Yi said before that you still have a child quota, why not get another child while Xiao Xingxing grows up a bit more. It’ll still be a few years until Xiao Dong, so Mom will have time to help take care of them."

"Mom, I know," but Lin Wan wasn’t planning to have a child so soon. She wanted to wait a couple of years, to establish her career first, and then she would have a child with peace of mind.

The graduation photo and the class reunion dinner were definitely set to be in their family’s store. Later, when receiving her graduation certificate, Lin Wan let loose for a day without worries. She left the kid with Shi Lan and went out all day with Su Ling and Yin Peibai. In no time, it was June; that day, Lin Wan specially cleaned the house. Early in the morning, she bought a lot of meat and vegetables.

She returned to chop the filling and made dumplings because yesterday Ai Yi called, saying he could be home today.

After graduating, and being a graduate of Kyoto Military Academy, he would be pursuing graduate studies next, I suppose.

"Mom, let me help you," Little Star came in with a stick out of nowhere, heading to the kitchen to help Lin Wan roll dumpling skins.

"Okay, first go and help Mommy move the chairs to the shade, we’ll make them in the yard, alright?" Little Star could now say simple things and understood what she said.

"Okay, make dumplings, wait for Daddy to come back," Little Star said while moving her little legs to help Lin Wan move the chairs from the living room.

After Lin Wan had the skins and filling ready, she put a little apron on Little Star. The mother and daughter were making dumplings in the yard.

Little Star was mostly making a mess throughout, with filling all over her hands, placing a deformed dumpling in front of Lin Wan and saying, "Mommy, for Daddy."

"Star is amazing, do it yourself, wait ’til Daddy comes back and we’ll cook them for him, alright?"

Little Star nodded at first, then shook her head, "For Mr. Ning."

"Why?"

"Star’s dumpling isn’t good. Eat." Little Star looked at the sticky thing in her hand, her little brows furrowed.

It made Lin Wan laugh, "Alright, later let your godmother take them all, alright? Go wash your hands."

"Okay, I want to see little brother." Little Star always believed the baby inside Shi Lan’s belly was a little brother, constantly calling out "Brother, brother" at Shi Lan’s belly.

Despite the excitement of the mother and daughter all morning, Han Yi was nowhere to be seen. The two sighed and each had a few dumplings for lunch.

Lin Wan had something to do and didn’t eat much, but Little Star, with her little bowl and spoon, ran to Lin Wan, mimicking how Lin Wan often fed her, "Ah... open your mouth; not eating isn’t being a good child, be careful I’ll tell Grandpa and Grandma to spank you."

It left Lin Wan speechless yet comforted; her Little Star was just too good, so considerate of others.

The mother and daughter tidied up after lunch and took a nap, but just as they fell asleep, there was a sound outside.

Lin Wan squinted her eyes, glanced at her daughter sleeping soundly beside her, then rose, went outside, and saw Han Yi entering the yard.

"I thought you’d arrive this morning," Lin Wan quickly went forward to take the things from Han Yi’s hands, hurrying to go inside.

"It was too hot, had to let the car rest, so we rested at a service area for a while." At Han Yi’s words, Lin Wan noticed there was actually someone else following behind.

"And who is this..." "My comrade, Lu Guoqi, Captain Lu. We went to school together, he lives in H City, so we came back together," Han Yi hurriedly explained to Lin Wan.

Lin Wan felt a bit awkward, thinking about how lucky she didn’t make any intimate gestures earlier, otherwise, it would have been embarrassing.
