Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

As if struck by lightning, Lu Yuan stiffened and stood there, somewhat dazed.

Although he considered himself a typical straight man with perhaps low emotional intelligence, he knew that when a girl said something like that, he was usually done for.

Lu Yuan smiled with relief, looked at the person in front of him, and continued to speak.

"Then thank you."

"Let's go."

Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly felt something soft behind him, and Li Huan pressed himself against him.

In the narrow stairwell, Lu Yuan could only hear the pounding of his own heart; he couldn't hear anything else.

Li Huan's warm words reached my ears.

"Lu Yuan, you are a good person. This is the only thing I can understand after observing you for a long time. You are like a lake, which I can never understand."

"I never understood why you were so special to me until now. I realize that I've liked you for a long time."

Li Huan is not a secretive person; her love and hate are quite clear, and she will say what she likes.

She felt that since she liked Lu Yuan first, she should be the one to say some things first.

If you like him, why not say it out loud? What kind of tacit understanding do you maintain with him?

Must they wait for some twists and turns, for something they've been through, before they can finally express their true feelings?

There is no such logic, nor would there ever be.

If you like something, you like it, and you should say it out loud.

After speaking her mind, Li Huan's eyes were filled with joy and shyness, but she no longer looked at Lu Yuan.

Because she already knew the answer.

The next moment, Li Huan felt as if he were flying.

wrong.

She really flew.

With an undisguised, radiant smile on his face, Lu Yuan turned around and picked her up, making no attempt to hide his tenderness.

Li Huan felt as if her heart had been struck. Although it wasn't the first time she had seen Lu Yuan's smile, this time it left a particularly deep impression on her.

It was as if an invisible carving knife had etched this scene deep into my heart.

"Lu Yuan... put me down."

Li Huan's face flushed red as she couldn't help but call out Lu Yuan's name. The corridor wasn't very large, and there were neighbors on both sides.

If someone saw me being held like this by him, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold my head up in front of my mother anymore.

Huanhuan.

This was the first time Lu Yuan had called out like that.

"what."

Li Huan paused for a moment, realizing what the title meant, and all his words turned into a heartfelt smile.

Her delicate eyebrows curved into a beautiful arc, like the crescent moon in the sky, or the horizon in the mist. A look of happiness flowed from her eyes, and even the lights in the corridor seemed a little softer.

Let's keep going.

Li Huan smiled and said, then pulled away from Lu Yuan's embrace and walked down the stairs in a few steps.

"it is good."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and nodded.

As Li Huan walked out of the residential compound, her smile remained, though her words carried a hint of regret.

"I was thinking of going out with you. Look at your collar, it's all white. You should buy some new clothes."

"No need, these clothes are quite comfortable to wear, and besides, I have several other ones."

Lu Yuan subconsciously touched his collar; it seemed he had bought this shirt two years ago.

He doesn't have any particular requirements when it comes to food or clothing; usually, his mother will buy him a couple of outfits whenever she remembers.

As for myself, I basically don't buy anything on my own initiative.

"Are you a blockhead?"

Li Huan was both amused and exasperated. Seeing Lu Yuan's serious concern about her spending money, she couldn't help but reveal the truth: "That's not what I'm worried about."

"I want to go out with you more often."

"No rush. If we don't have time this time, there's always next time. When you have time off next week, I'll take you shopping."

If it were a business transaction, Lu Yuan might react quickly and perhaps even offer an unexpected answer.

But he seems a little slow on this point.

This slowness of perception made Li Huan nod with great delight.

There's a kind of happiness that belongs only to the two of them.

"It's not just next weekend, it's next month, next year, and from now on you'll have to go shopping with me every day. We've agreed."

"Um."

Lu Yuan nodded with a smile. Li Huan wasn't one to hide her feelings; her unique enthusiasm always drew his attention.

The neon lights of Shanghai seemed like flowing light from another world. People came and went on the street, but her figure stood out to Lu Yuan among them.

The two walked side by side down the street. When they saw an aunt carrying a cup of milk tea coming towards them, Li Huan was slightly taken aback.

He suddenly spoke.

"Your milk tea is really popular. I didn't expect to see people drinking it here."

"That's because the stuff is good, it has nothing to do with anything else."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, not refuting the other party's words, his face showing an undisguised smug smile as he nodded repeatedly.

As his voice faded, Li Huan thought of Lu Yuan's plans for today and suddenly asked.

"What do you think about me staying in the Ministry of Commerce?"

"fine."

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and then said.

Li Huan pouted, looking like a slightly angry pufferfish, and couldn't help but speak up after hearing his words.

"That's such a pointless thing to say. Aren't you just trying to brush me off?"

Lu Yuan didn't just brush him off. You see, Li Huan works within the system, and the mere fact that he has a permanent position is something that countless people would fight tooth and nail for in later generations.

It's important to understand that once someone is officially employed, it means that their family has entered the middle class, and unless there are any major problems, they will generally not encounter any risks.

Of course, this kind of life is also destined to be very boring.

At least that's how Lu Yuan sees it, but he thinks this kind of work is also a good thing for Li Huan.

Thinking about it carefully, this might be Aunt Tian's way of protecting Li Huan, and Uncle Han also takes good care of her.

"I'm not just giving you the runaround. Don't think you're inferior to me. Your current status is something many people would envy."

Do you think I could go even further if I keep moving up the ranks?

Only then did Li Huan reveal his true thoughts.

Lu Yuan was taken aback when the person in front of him suddenly said such a thing. He was stunned for a moment before looking at Li Huan and realizing that he had been ignoring Li Huan's thoughts all along.

Li Huan glanced at him before beginning to express her thoughts.

"Don't overthink it. I've been in the Ministry of Commerce for almost four years now and have achieved some results. There is an opportunity for me to take it a step further."
