Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 1045: No One Around—Convenient for the Two of Us

Just as the two were about to say something else, they heard, "Oh, I was just wondering if you’d come in such heavy snow."

The two simultaneously looked towards the source of the voice.

He Jinxuan smiled at the person and said, "I told you I’d come to see you, how could I not?"

The person looked at Xinyan: "Is this the sister-in-law?"

He Jinxuan pulled Xinyan forward: "Yes."

He didn’t want to bring up anything about a fiancée; in his heart, Xinyan was already his wife: "Yanyan, this is Huo Zhongming. When I first came to the Mechanical Factory, I shared a dormitory with him for a few days.

When you came to our Mechanical Factory, he was just sent abroad by the factory to study. Shortly after you went off to college, he came back."

Huo Zhongming smiled and greeted Xinyan: "Hi, great to finally meet you in person."

Xinyan joked: "Have you heard many legends about me?"

Huo Zhongming didn’t expect Xinyan to say that: "Yes, I’ve always heard legends about you two.

Come on, let’s go to my office and sit for a bit. You can warm up; today’s snow probably won’t stop anytime soon. But you two are really lucky; the cafeteria is serving braised beef today, and I’ve given Master Zhao a heads up early."

With that, the three went upstairs.

Huo Zhongming’s office was on the second floor; he had boiled water before going down: "Been waiting for you."

Saying that, he picked up the kettle from the stove and started making tea: "This tea is my treasure, I wouldn’t treat anyone else to it."

He Jinxuan settled Xinyan down: "Then I’d better savor it carefully."

Xinyan immediately understood that he loved tea. She took out a packet from her bag, which she actually got from the space, and handed it directly to He Jinxuan.

At first, He Jinxuan didn’t quite get what Xinyan meant, but he quickly understood when he received it: "Okay, don’t feel sorry for your treasure, look, what is this?"

He directly handed it to him.

But when Huo Zhongming raised his hand to take it, he dodged.

Influenced by family elders, Huo Zhongming was a tea enthusiast; he could go without food or clothes, but not without tea leaves, that’s just who he was.

Seeing the tea leaves in He Jinxuan’s hand, his eyes sparkled with excitement: "Quick, let me see what tea this is."

The bag wasn’t even open, but he already caught the scent.

The two were like kids playing; after a round, Huo Zhongming managed to grab the tea: "You’re the one who understands me best, bringing me tea."

It’s truly a beautiful misunderstanding.

After hearing what he said, Xinyan and He Jinxuan exchanged a glance and shared a knowing smile.

Opening it, Huo Zhongming exclaimed: "Went to Yunnan?"

He Jinxuan didn’t reply, busy pouring Xinyan a cup of the tea Huo Zhongming had just brewed: "Have a cup to warm up."

Huo Zhongming savored the tea, smelling and inspecting, not caring whether He Jinxuan answered or not: "Ripe Pu-erh tea, great for warming the stomach and warding off cold in winter, thank you, brother."

Speaking, he turned and brought over a large tea set: "Today I’ll indulge, brewing an extra pot."

His smile couldn’t be more radiant.

Watching Xinyan drink two cups of tea, He Jinxuan finally turned to Huo Zhongming: "Zhongming, is there only one person on duty in this building today?"

Huo Zhongming laughed: "Originally, there were supposed to be two people on duty today. One was called away by family; his wife is giving birth. The other requested leave from the leader yesterday."

He Jinxuan was happy at this news; no one around would make it easier for the two to act.
