Chapter 11: Starting Point

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Fan did not feel the slightest embarrassment at not being discovered. She openly admitted, “Yes, I took a quick look, and it’s definitely enough to make up for what Li Wei once swindled from me.”

Although it was the first time she had seen that girl, Feng Li, judging by Li Wei’s behavior, he seemed to treat her well.

So there was only one possibility: Li Wei used his theater salary to freely date Feng Li and then turned around to deceive the Original Owner of the money to support himself.

Indeed, he was a cunning man.

Fortunately, she was not easy to bully, and now that Li Wei had no money and no marriage prospects, he also had a criminal record.

Just thinking about it made Lin Fan happy.

Yan Shun also smiled, and seeing Lin Fan’s transformation, he was strangely excited.

“I’ve recovered everything I lost, and it’ll be easy to explain to your boss. As for the remaining money, we’ll save some and use some for daily expenses. Tomorrow, I’ll make an appointment with Sister Ning Yan to go to the mall and buy us both two sets of clothes. We’ll also cook some dishes. Let’s consider it the starting point of our new life. What do you think?”

Lin Fan walked to the table and sat face to face with Yan Shun, her eyes gleaming, causing Yan Shun to be momentarily dazed.

“Okay.”

After a long while, Yan Shun finally uttered a word, his excited tone trembling as if he was shivering, “We’ll do it your way, after all, all my money is in your hands.”

“Great!” Lin Fan laughed with her eyes narrowed to slits. People from this era were indeed quite simple, especially someone like Yan Shun, willing to voluntarily hand over his salary to his wife, a rarity even in the modern world.

Yan Shun withdrew the portion that originally belonged to the military district, leaving behind 240 yuan and 8 pieces of various purchase vouchers, all of which Li Wei had obtained from the Original Owner in various ways.

Now that everything was returned to its rightful owner, it could be considered a cause for celebration.

In front of Yan Shun, Lin Fan counted out 120 yuan as the first deposit and placed it in a hidden place at home. She also explained the intended use for the remaining money to Yan Shun.

She thought, since they were living together, being transparent about expenses might help avoid more conflicts.

“Actually, you don’t have to tell me all the details like this. Just giving the money to your wife for safekeeping shows trust, as long as… nothing like what happened before occurs,” she said.

Yan Shun looked at Lin Fan as she explained the purpose of the money bit by bit, feeling touched. Almost every expenditure was geared towards their life together.

Lin Fan understood what he meant, carefully put the money away, and said, “Don’t worry. I might have been blind before, but I won’t be in the future. Besides, don’t we have a capable Captain Yan in our family?”

She had a sudden whimsical idea and teased Yan Shun. She leaned in, but to her surprise, Yan Shun’s ears turned bright red in just that moment.

Lin Fan found it extremely amusing.

In her previous life, she often heard people envy the love of this era. While she was envious as well, she could not go back in time to experience it. But now, she found herself in the midst of such a thing.

The next day, Lin Fan woke up early, jogged in the yard for two laps, took a shower, and changed into fresh clothes before knocking on Ning Yan’s door.

“Ning Yan, I’m planning to go to the mall to buy some groceries and clothes. Do you want to come with me? We can go together!” Lin Fan got straight to the point as soon as the door opened.

Ning Yan was initially taken aback. Lin Fan, who rarely woke up early, was knocking on her door early in the morning, and she was inviting her to go together.

“Sure, I’ll go.”

After what happened yesterday, Ning Yan realized that the current Lin Fan was not the same as before. She seemed more pleasant to be around and easier to talk to.

Just like now, Lin Fan asked for her opinion with a smile, without any impatience or discomfort.

“Wait for me a moment. Can I change my clothes?” Ning Yan asked, blushing slightly as she smiled.

“No problem.”

20 minutes later, the two of them boarded a bus heading to the city center.

Since the military training usually took place in the suburbs, and the military compound where everyone lived was naturally far from the city center, it took at least twenty minutes by bus. Today, they were running behind schedule, and it took half an hour to reach the city center.

So, it was an hour later when the two of them entered the shopping mall.

Inside the mall, various shops were filled with a wide variety of goods, but Lin Fan could not seem to muster any interest in them.
