Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2774: Chapter 2772: It’s Always Like This

That day, he underestimated Qin Xue, okay? Who would have thought that because of his carelessness, she ended up taking his belongings away?

This really made him especially depressed, so angry he could almost spit blood. Qin Xue, on the other hand, acted as though he’s a useless man.

Although saying this feels uncomfortable, Qin Xue wasn’t exactly wrong, because he hadn’t demonstrated his abilities in front of her.

That’s why he didn’t argue back when Qin Xue spoke; he thought it best to observe the situation first.

Keeping some skills to protect himself is the best outcome because he didn’t want anyone to see through him at a glance, no matter how much he achieved.

No matter how much one wants to showcase himself, he won’t display all his abilities to others.

As Lin Ziqi was lost in thought, he didn’t even notice when Qin Xue had left. By the time he came back to his senses, she was long gone.

Somehow, around Qin Xue, he easily lets down his guard, letting her influence his judgment effortlessly every time.

Qin Xue, however, was unaware of Lin Ziqi’s thoughts; she was in a rush to return home, or else Chu Molin would surely send out a search party.

When Qin Xue got back home, she saw Chu Molin standing at the door looking around. She believed that if she were even a little bit later, Chu Molin would definitely have gone out to find her.

She doesn’t doubt this at all, because Chu Molin’s expression told her he was genuinely very worried about her.

Qin Xue, thinking and acting quickly to return home, so he wouldn’t need to come looking for her, ended up worrying him anyway.

Qin Xue quickly walked over to Chu Molin. It was her fault this time, and if she hadn’t been delayed, she wouldn’t have returned so late.

But she couldn’t let him or her parents know, or they wouldn’t allow her to go out next time.

She had been injured once before here, so that’s why she had come. If they found out about today’s incident, she might as well forget about going out in the future.

This was an outcome Qin Xue didn’t want.

But it wasn’t like she didn’t have the ability to handle it, so she decided to conceal it for now and tell them when they find out.

”Chu Molin, I’m back. Are you tired today?” Qin Xue smiled at Chu Molin. He had done everything by himself today, and she didn’t know how he managed.

”I’m okay. Why did you come back so late?” Chu Molin’s eyes inconspicuously scanned her from head to toe, and after seeing nothing unusual, he turned to the woman, smiling.

”I walked back slowly, of course, it took time. I originally planned to buy something, but when I got there, nothing caught my eye, so I didn’t buy anything and just came back. That’s why I took longer. Were you worried about me?” Qin Xue asked knowingly.

”What do you think?” Chu Molin simply retorted, not saying much more.

”It won’t happen next time. Have you eaten yet? I’m hungry.” Qin Xue hoped this would prevent him from dwelling on the issue any longer.

”You’re always like this. Can’t you eat something before coming back?” At this, Chu Molin didn’t have the heart to scold her any further; instead, he led her to eat. They hadn’t eaten yet, as they were waiting for her, but with the long wait and worried she might have met with an accident, seeing her well now allowed him to relax.

”I just want to eat together as a family.” Qin Xue acted coyly.

She knew saying this made Chu Molin happiest because he used to be alone, and now that he has family, he cherishes their time together. Hence, when she said this, Chu Molin eventually didn’t nag her anymore.

And because of this, Chu Molin took Qin Xue to eat.
