Chapter 776: Shen Yi's Fortunate Wife

Shen Yi and Qin Jiao returned home. The children were wide awake, full of energy as they watched the Spring Festival Gala with Mr. Du, so Qin Jiao and Shen Yi joined in.

By the time it neared midnight, when the bells were about to ring, everyone was so sleepy they could barely keep their eyes open, but they were all holding on.

“Happy New Year!”

Xiao You and Little Gu Duo cheered, while Xiao Zijin stood beside them, beaming.

Mr. Du yawned and said, “I can’t stay up any longer, I really can’t. I have to go to sleep.”

“Happy New Year, Great-Grandpa!”

“Happy New Year, Grandpa!”

Beaming, Mr. Du handed out red envelopes to the children, and then he gave one to Qin Jiao as well.

Qin Jiao was shocked. “I get a red envelope, too?”

Mr. Du said, “Of course you do. You’re a child, too. For years, you’ve sacrificed so much for this family and have always been the one working the hardest.”

Qin Jiao said, “Grandpa, it’s what I should do. Besides, Shen Yi works very hard, too.”

Qin Jiao was different from how she was in her past life, and so was Shen Yi.

They were both more clear-headed, worked harder at living their lives, and cherished their family more deeply.

Mr. Du said, “Isn’t it only right that he does more? I have no idea what monumental good deed that boy must have done in his past life to accumulate enough good fortune to marry you.”

Mr. Du was feeling quite emotional today.

After all, several years ago when he first went to Ping’an Town, he had thought he wouldn’t live for many more years.

But now, he was getting healthier with each passing year!

The old man even felt that he could live to be ninety-nine!

Qin Jiao understood why her grandfather was so emotional, because in her past life, he had never been able to leave Ping’an Town.

‘As for whether Shen Yi had done some monumental good deed in his past life… heh, Qin Jiao had no comment.’

Qin Jiao then gave her three children their red envelopes and sent them to wash up and go to sleep. By the time she returned to the master bedroom, Shen Yi had already finished his shower.

Nearing thirty, he was in the prime of his youth and strength. His handsome features now held an added air of maturity.

Shen Yi ran a hand through his hair. “Jiao Jiao, isn’t your husband handsome?”

“You’re quite handsome.”

“Hehehe, a husband this handsome is all yours. Happy?”

“It’s alright, I guess.” Qin Jiao picked up a change of clothes and headed for the bathroom to wash up.

Shen Yi shamelessly followed her, muttering under his breath, “Jiao Jiao, is there something about your husband that you’re not happy with?”

‘That ‘It’s alright, I guess’ was so unenthusiastic.’

Qin Jiao said, “Grandpa told me something just now. He said he wonders what monumental good deed Xiao Yi must have done in a past life to have the good fortune to marry me.”

Shen Yi fell silent.

He reached out, wrapped his arms around Qin Jiao from behind, and rested his chin on her shoulder.

“I wasn’t fortunate in my last life, but I guess I must have been in the life before that. I thank Heaven for letting us be together—together in this life, together in the next, and together for all of eternity.”

“Then I’m the one getting a bad deal, being tied to you for lifetime after lifetime.”

“Mhm. You can have the short end of the stick on this one thing, but from now on, I’ll never let you lose out on anything else.”

Qin Jiao turned her head, and seeing the earnest look on Shen Yi’s face, she leaned in and gave him a quick kiss.

“You know, we really should thank Lin Nian. Seriously.”

In their past life, it had been Lin Nian’s meddling that brought Qin Jiao and Shen Yi together, and the same was true for this life.

However, in this life, Qin Jiao and Shen Yi hadn’t simply drifted along with the currents of fate. Instead, they had diligently worked to overcome every obstacle and truly live.

The two of them held each other in an embrace.

‘To show their gratitude to Lin Nian, they should gather the evidence as soon as the New Year is over and send her to prison for a reunion with Shen Feng.’
