It’s Monday, didn’t we interrupt your studies?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a medical student under Professor Wen Yan, Xiao Han was indeed busy—far more so than ordinary students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Han had always known what mattered most; between love and career, she chose love without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Han smiled sweetly: “No, it’s just the start of the semester, not too busy yet. Uncle, Auntie, have you had breakfast?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng interjected: “Not yet. My mom said she wanted to have breakfast with her daughter-in-law, so she didn’t even stop at that clueless noodle shop.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were Tian Run’e’s exact words—he’d only polished them slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing him openly call her “daughter-in-law” in front of his parents, Xiao Han’s heart swelled with sweetness; she immediately arranged leave from school and efficiently led the old couple to an off-campus breakfast spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ate scallion oil noodles, a local Shanghai specialty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jianguo tried it for the first time, devouring half the bowl in three bites, then praised: “Tastes surprisingly good—better than I expected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e agreed: “It’s decent. I thought without chili it’d be bland, but I can handle this flavor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Han’s eyes crinkled with delight—the old couple’s approval meant a lot to her. “My mom used to come here too. She loved it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e asked: “Shiman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Han smiled softly: “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking about Wei Shiman, the two women instantly opened up—chattering nonstop from when she first came to the Xiao household with rice, to how things stood now, still chatting warmly as they paid and left the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his wife and Xiao Han ahead, Li Jianguo rarely asked his son: “Hanhann is great—we both like her. Why not marry her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jianguo had originally hoped his son would marry Chen Zijin, but knew it was unrealistic, so he cautiously tested the waters with Xiao Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Han was his past-life wife; Li Heng’s gaze settled on her back, and he said seriously: “I can marry her—of course it would be wonderful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jianguo heard the conflict in his son’s voice, sighed inwardly, then asked about Mai Sui: “Does Mai Sui’s family know you’re living together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jianguo fell silent, then said after a long while: “When you graduate, I’ll go with you to Shaodong. Since Mai Sui chose you, you must take responsibility. Whatever her family does—beat you, yell at you—you’ll have to endure it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng nodded: “Alright, I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jianguo didn’t ask about Song Yu or Teacher Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because whether it was Song Yu or Teacher Yu, Li Jianguo found them both exhausting—he simply didn’t know how to handle them yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the breakfast shop, Xiao Han first took the Li family on a walk around campus, loudly asserting their presence in public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng only realized later—his cunning wife was using this to retaliate against the gossip in the newspapers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the rumors spreading wildly, some at Shanghai Medical University were secretly gloating, wondering how long Xiao Han could hold out against the formidable rivals of Yu Shuheng and Zhou Shihe, the city’s number one beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Haiyan had even secretly asked her friend: “Hanhann, are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internally, Xiao Han kept whispering to herself about her honey, but outwardly she remained calm, cleared her throat, pointed at the newspaper, and cheerfully said: “I’m fine, fine. Look at my man—he’s so charming, beautiful women keep flocking to him. It’s actually making me look good.”\u003C\u002Fp>",832,"2026-06-19T15:27:37.732Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5da451dd8222f8242831713f36450a725c4fcf9d27d86df415ebefb9fcd06d33","1987-my-era-chapter-626","1987-my-era-chapter-624",713,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002F1987-my-era-cover.jpg"]
