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

The four of them met at the entrance to the restaurant and introduced themselves. Lu Jiuan politely greeted Qin Jiao and Jiang Xiaoyue, then turned and left.

After he left, Jiang Xiaoyue said in surprise, "Meng Lanlan, your husband is so handsome!"

Most importantly, the man seemed good-natured, and his expression didn’t even flicker when he saw a great beauty... Qin Jiao.

He simply greeted his wife’s classmates and left.

Meng Lanlan smiled shyly. They had just gotten married and were still in their honeymoon phase.

She said, "When it comes to handsome, you have to give it to Qin Jiao’s husband."

One moment, Qin Jiao was thinking that the name Lu Jiuan sounded a bit familiar. The next, seeing both of them looking at her, she smiled magnanimously and said, "Mm, on that point, I won’t argue with you."

Meng Lanlan sighed. "As much as it pains me to admit, I can’t argue with that."

Jiang Xiaoyue laughed from the side. "Alright, alright, I’m starving. Let’s go in and eat!"

The three of them entered the restaurant, laughing. They decided on roast duck, both because it was a local specialty and, more importantly, because Meng Lanlan had just arrived in town.

Qin Jiao asked, "Is everything settled with your job?"

Meng Lanlan nodded. "I majored in education in college, so I was transferred here to be a middle school teacher. My husband works for the local civil affairs department."

"That’s great."

A job like that would still be very stable even ten-odd years from now.

Jiang Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Being a teacher is great. Xiao Jiao, you can have Lanlan teach your kid."

Qin Jiao laughed. "Sure."

Meng Lanlan was shocked. "Qin Jiao, you’re pregnant already? That’s wonderful!"

"What’s so wonderful about it? I’m being treated like a protected species. I’m not allowed to do this, not allowed to do that."

Qin Jiao told Meng Lanlan about how she was being fussed over, and the three of them started reminiscing about their high school days, even bringing up their retired homeroom teacher, Sun Guotao.

Just as the three of them were chatting happily, they suddenly heard someone laugh and say, "Well, if it isn’t my old classmates. What a coincidence."

Lin Nian walked over with a large baby bump, a gentle smile on her face. Beside her stood Shen Feng.

As it turned out, Lin Nian had gone to the hospital for a prenatal checkup that day. On her way back, she had a sudden craving for roast duck. Shen Feng rarely refused her such small requests, so he had brought her here to eat.

They never expected to run right into them.

Jiang Xiaoyue frantically shot glances at Qin Jiao, signaling that she hadn’t asked Meng Lanlan to invite Lin Nian. Meanwhile, Meng Lanlan was also a bit stunned to see the heavily pregnant Lin Nian.

The two of them had been deskmates in high school. But after Lin Nian started dating Shen Feng, and because they often disagreed on things, the two drifted apart.

But they had been close once, after all. Meng Lanlan walked over to Lin Nian and said excitedly, "Lin Nian, you’re— wow, congratulations to you both."

Lin Nian took her hand. "When did you get to North City? How come you didn’t look me up?"

As she said this, her gaze swept over Qin Jiao and Jiang Xiaoyue.

Beside her, Shen Feng’s gaze also swept past Qin Jiao before landing back on Meng Lanlan. He said, "Long time no see."

Meng Lanlan explained her situation again. When Lin Nian heard she was a teacher, she stroked her rounded belly and smiled. "Being a teacher is great. Lanlan, I’ll have to get you to teach my child in the future, too."

Meng Lanlan could only nod and agree.

Jiang Xiaoyue, sitting to the side, took a sip of water and turned to look at Qin Jiao.

’Heh. If their two kids end up as classmates in the future, won’t that be a lively scene?’
