Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 689 - 667: Thoughts

"I used to think about having one earlier, but after Little Star, I found even one is hard to manage. Having another one would be even harder. I thought about waiting until Little Star is a bit older, so it would be easier."

"That’s where you’re wrong. Raising two kids together, it’s just a matter of two or three years. If you wait a few more years, just when this one gets easier, the other one starts, you’ll have trouble then."

Lin Wan was briefly surprised, realizing this logic made sense.

She came just to visit, but ended up being persuaded by the conversation to consider having another child.

She was so impulsive that night, Lin Wan returned home, waited for her daughter to sleep, and directly clung to Han Yi.

Han Yi was surprised to see his wife being so proactive, "Didn’t you say a couple of days ago that you needed a break for a few days? How come you’re so proactive today?"

"Ai Yi, let’s have another child. Now that Xingxing has grown up and become more sensible, you’re by my side, it’s a good time to have another child."

"Little Star alone is just fine." Han Yi didn’t want another one. After recently accompanying Ning Jiang through a childbirth event, he was still somewhat traumatized.

Childbirth isn’t a hundred percent risk-free for women.

"Two kids are great. In the future, Little Star won’t be lonely, and our home will be livelier. Whether it’s a boy or a girl, let’s just have another one."

Lin Wan held onto Han Yi tightly, making it hard for him to resist.

Counting the time, if Xiao Wan gets pregnant now, she could give birth before he gets deployed, and maybe he could be there for her during the postpartum period.

But once he’s transferred over there, he might not have time to help Xiao Wan with the baby.

Lin Wan didn’t know where Han Yi’s thoughts had drifted off to; regardless of his willingness, she had already started undressing him.

"Tonight, I’ll be on top. If you’re tired, just lie there without moving."

Hearing his wife’s words made Han Yi’s eyes light up with some excitement. It was rare for Xiao Wan to take the lead; Han Yi didn’t care about having or not having a child. He lay back on the bed, eyes squinting with a smile, anticipating Lin Wan’s next move...

...

For the opening of the new store, Lin Wan specially invited Uncle Hu and Liu Wei, as well as the brother-in-law in the police department of Wei Jian Country, and of course, they couldn’t leave out Han Yi, the soldier. Now people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the police department, and the military were all attending, so anyone thinking of causing trouble had to think twice.

Today is the opening day, and all dishes in the store are half price. Of course, Lin Wan especially invited Brother Jianye and Brother Congnan; almost all family and friends came.

There were two big tables prepared. Lin Wan specially gave each family a membership card. From now on, with the card, they get a 50% discount.

These 50% off cards weren’t made many, only twenty in total, mainly for these family and friends. Lin Wan’s way made her friends feel proud.

Other cards were 10% off, 20% off. Anyone with accumulated spending over 200 yuan could get a 10% discount.

Also attending today were her uncle and aunt. Her aunt changed her usual approach and insisted on getting an 80% off card from Lin Wan.

Since it was just an 80% off card, Lin Wan didn’t mind giving it.

The week leading up to the opening of the new store saw exceptionally booming business. The place was packed every day.

Although it was still hot, everyone rushed for hotpot, mainly attracted by the half-price promotion, wanting to snag a deal and eat as much as they could. The more they ate, the more they saved.

Little did they know, the more they ate, the more Lin Wan earned.

With the good business at the new store, Lin Wan stayed there for three days and then didn’t go back. The rules were the same as with Xiao Gu.

Each morning, they just needed to deposit the previous day’s earnings to her designated account, and she would come to settle the accounts at the end of the month.

Lin Wan wasn’t only busy with the restaurant these days, but also with restocking new clothing items. These past few days, she was constantly changing positions with Han Yi, busy trying to have a baby. Naturally, after exhausting nights, days left her a bit lacking in energy.

Returning to the city with Little Star, after finishing up things at the store and balancing accounts with Ye Zi, she came home, ignoring Little Star, and fell straight onto the bed. When Su Ling brought her Tiger over, she saw Little Star bouncing on the trampoline in the yard.

"Auntie..."

"Wow, Little Star is being good, playing by yourself in the yard. Where’s your mom?"

"Sleeping."

"Is your mom a little lazy pig? She’s not even watching over our Little Star now. Tiger, play with your little sister."

"Play with sister." Not waiting for Su Ling’s instruction, Tiger, rough and tumble as boys are, was already rolling on the trampoline.

When Su Ling came into the house, Lin Wan was sleeping soundly. She didn’t intend to disturb her, but accidentally kicked a stool when she was leaving, waking Lin Wan up on the bed.

Lin Wan groggily opened her eyes, saw it was Su Ling, closed them again, and said after a pause, "Not working today?"

"Oh, when there’s work at our factory it’s busy, otherwise it’s pretty relaxed. What happened to you? You sick?"

"No, just tired. Been busy making a baby with my man, worn out."

Lin Wan’s candidness piqued Su Ling’s curiosity, "That intense, huh? Your Han Yi is strong and robust, constantly wearing you out. With your little frame, it’s a wonder you can handle it."

"Stop teasing me."

"Seriously though, are you both sure about wanting another?"

"Yes, we are." Lin Wan sat up, rubbed her eyes, looked at the two kids in the yard through the window, and then got out of bed, reassured.

"I’m really envious of you, being able to have a second child. If I had known earlier that minorities could have a second child, I would’ve changed my ethnic identity sooner."

"Come on, there’s no such thing as early medicine. Haha... By the way, is Pei Bai due these days?"

Su Ling rolled her eyes after hearing that, "She was admitted to the hospital yesterday. They said she started having contractions last night, and there’s still no news now."

"From yesterday till now, she should’ve given birth by now, right?"

"If she had, her husband Zhang Hanfu would’ve shared the good news. It’s probably not yet." Su Ling said, then slapped her own head in frustration, "Look at me, coming to see you made me forget the main thing. My father-in-law said yesterday there are some matters at the construction site we need to check ourselves. Are you free? Let’s go take a look."

"What’s the problem?"

"Nothing serious, just some areas we need to confirm."

Lin Wan quickly got ready, took Su Ling and the two kids to the construction site.

The construction site was incredibly messy and unsafe, so Lin Wan had Su Ling stay with the two kids in an open area to play, while she went over to talk with Uncle Liu.

Not far away, wearing a helmet and riding a motorcycle, Li Liang was secretly watching from a hidden corner.

Unfortunately, Su Ling saw this scene. Although Li Liang had a helmet on, Su Ling could recognize him at a glance. After all, she once had a fantasy about this jerk back in the day. If not for Lin Wan and Yin Peibai, she could’ve nearly ruined herself.

Su Ling couldn’t figure out why Li Liang was here. But seeing his sneaky appearance, she knew it couldn’t be anything good.

Li Liang waited outside for over an hour while Lin Wan was inside, and Su Ling pretended not to notice him.

Once Lin Wan came out, they brought the kids to the car. Su Ling sighed in relief, "Xiao Wan, see that motorcycle behind us? It’s been waiting outside for over an hour."

Lin Wan froze, looked through the rearview mirror, and recognized instantly, "Li Liang?"

Su Ling gave her a confirming look.

"Is he following us?"

"I think so. Why would he follow us when we didn’t provoke him?"

Lin Wan frowned, thinking about her brother’s incident last year and when she sought out Wei Xue. She thought to herself he couldn’t have known it was her who did it.

She speculated that wasn’t the case; if it were, Wei Xue would’ve told her.

If it involved Li Liang, aside from forcing her to write a complaint, it must be about Ye Qing.

Could Ye Qing be stirring up some trouble again?

For a moment, Lin Wan and Su Ling couldn’t figure out why Li Liang was following them. They pretended not to notice him and drove Su Ling home with the kids.

Then Lin Wan called Han Yi from Su Ling’s home, before driving back alone with Little Star.

When Su Ling went out and saw Li Liang still following them, she was worried for her and considered leaving her behind to wait for Han Yi to come pick her up.

"It’s okay, I just want to see what he’s up to. Comparing his motorcycle to my car, he can’t be faster, and now that it’s broad daylight, I’m driving on major roads with so many people, what’s he gonna do?"

Su Ling saw that Lin Wan wouldn’t listen, so she said nothing further, just told her to call when she got home safely.

After Lin Wan came out with Little Star, she drove really fast. Li Liang, like a sticky candy, wouldn’t stop following her.

Fortunately, halfway there, Han Yi drove over to pick her up.

Li Liang seemed flustered, seeing Han Yi’s military vehicle, he immediately turned around and left.
