Five minutes later, Ning Yan emerged from the room wearing a qipao, her movements somewhat awkward.

On the other hand, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up; she knew she hadn’t misjudged Ning Yan.

Ning Yan had a good foundation to begin with; she just hadn’t taken the time to groom herself properly. Seeing Ning Yan in this state, Lin Fan could not help but calculate.

“You look beautiful!” Lin Fan praised generously. “A woman, first and foremost, must take care of herself, and then her family. Sister-in-law Ning Yan, I think you should dress up more often from now on!”

Lin Fan circled around Ning Yan, even happier after confirming that everything was in place. “Sister-in-law Ning Yan, this qipao suits you perfectly. Tomorrow, I’ll sew on the buttons and bring it over. By then, you will surely be the most beautiful sister-in-law in the military district compound!”

Ning Yan blushed at her words, shyly lowering her head. After a moment, she looked up and said, “Thank you, Lin Fan.”

“We’re all neighbors, no need to be polite!” Lin Fan replied.

Ning Yan was the first friend Lin Fan made after she crossed over into this world, and since Ning Yan had no ill intentions, Lin Fan naturally treated her well.

After a few moments of chatting, Lin Fan packed her things and headed home.

She was just about to reach for the doorknob when the door opened from the inside.

Yan Shun stood there, his entire being in front of Lin Fan. As she lifted her head, she met his concerned gaze.

Both of them were momentarily stunned.

Yan Shun quickly realized the situation, and his previous worry dissipated considerably. He smiled, “I didn’t see you when I came back; I was just about to look for you.”

However, only he knew that when he returned and didn’t see Lin Fan, for a moment, he was genuinely afraid that everything would revert back to square one. Seeing Lin Fan now, he felt an unexpected sense of relief.

Lin Fan was puzzled.

Yan Shun’s previous reaction did not match his words. Was he worried that she had gone to see Li Wei secretly? After all, even though Li Wei was in prison now, considering the Original Owner’s feelings for him, nothing was certain.

However, Lin Fan did not expose him. She knew that Yan Shun also needed a sense of security, so she took the initiative to explain, “I just asked Sister-in-law Ning Yan for a little help, don’t worry.”

“That’s good.” Yan Shun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing him like this, Lin Fan rolled her eyes and decided to tease him. She smiled and leaned her face closer to him, asking, “What’s the matter? Are you wondering what I’m up to?”

Yan Shun became nervous all of a sudden. His eyes flickered, and he stammered, “I, I…”

Lin Fan clearly saw Yan Shun’s ears turning red quietly, and soon a large area of his face blushed. Love in this era was indeed so pure. She smiled mischievously, “It’s okay, I understand.”

Lin Fan decided to be more proactive. She put down the things in her hands and hugged Yan Shun around his waist. She could feel his body stiffen in that moment.

She was not in a hurry. Time was on their side, and this was just the beginning.

After a moment, she let go of Yan Shun and went into the house. She took out two shirts from under a few qipaos, both of them unbuttoned.

She handed the shirts to Yan Shun, “Your clothes are roughly done. Why don’t you try them on?”

Lin Fan was eager to know how Yan Shun would look in the clothes she designed.

Yan Shun, still recovering from the hug, could not believe that Lin Fan had hugged him first!

While the warmth of her embrace lingered, he was now inside the house. Yan Shun’s lips unconsciously curved upward, his heart beating faster.

Seeing Yan Shun’s lack of response, Lin Fan raised her eyes and looked. He was still standing there, dazed. She sighed helplessly and called out twice more, “Don’t just stand there, come and try them on!”

Only then did Yan Shun snap out of his reverie. He saw the two shirts in her hands and expressed his surprise. He hadn’t expected that in just two days, Lin Fan had actually made the clothes.

“…Okay.”

Surprised or not, the warmth of wearing clothes handmade by his wife overcame everything else in his heart.

Because there were only the shirts, and they still did not have buttons, when Yan Shun came out again, he was still wearing his army green pants. He tightly held the shirt’s front together with both hands, afraid of revealing too much.

Seeing him, a grown man acting so bashfully, even his face blushing like an apple, Lin Fan could not help but laugh. “What are you afraid of? We’re husband and wife. Do we still need to be so restrained?”

Upon hearing this, Yan Shun’s face turned as red as an apple. “Why doesn’t this shirt have buttons?”

“Haven’t had the time to sew them on,” Lin Fan replied truthfully.

Helpless, Yan Shun, seeing Lin Fan’s calm expression, slowly released his grip, looking somewhat embarrassed.
