After making several circles around the things on the ground, Qin Xue attempted to pick up and carry the items.

But there was just too much to carry and she felt like she was going to burst into tears. ‘Oh God, please send someone to help me,’ she thought.

Just as she was about to try again, one hand picking up the rice flour, the other the wine bottles;

Suddenly, a strong hand had taken over the task, leaving only a bag of miscellaneous light items on the ground.

Qin Xue was surprised, she looked up, ‘Wow, what a handsome man,’ she thought.

His eyebrows were sharp, his eyelashes long, and his eyes were deep and incredibly striking, like black diamonds. One look was enough to captivate her, even though his gaze was cold and intense. His high nose and thin lips made Qin Xue unconsciously swallow her saliva.

Such beautiful lips, she couldn’t help but wonder what they tasted like.

Chu Molin couldn’t quite decipher the emotions stirring within him as he looked at the woman in front of him.

From a distance, he had seen this woman circling the items on the ground, gesturing with her hands.

As he got closer, he realized this pregnant woman was trying to pick up so many things. He didn’t know why, but his heart squeezed a bit.

Seeing her let go, he sighed in relief, but then he saw her preparing to pick up the items again.

As his car approached, he realized how similar she looked to his wife.

Although she had changed a lot, he recognized her. This was his wife.

Looking at her belly, he didn’t react immediately. He thought, ‘How could she have changed so much in just a few months?’

He had slept with her once by design, and now she was pregnant, and he was just realizing it. What could anyone possibly know about what he was going through?

Just as she was about to pick up the things again, he hurriedly asked his driver, Li Dabao, to stop the car. Chu Molin got out immediately.

By the time he came to his senses, he was already holding the things. He looked at the woman with adoring eyes. He had once been irritated by such affection, but now it didn’t seem inappropriate.

Being stared at by Qin Xue for a while made Chu Molin a bit uncomfortable, so he coughed lightly.

Startled by his cough, Qin Xue blushed, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to stare at you. I’ve been here so long, but I haven’t seen anyone as handsome as you. I got distracted. Please forgive me.”

Chu Molin looked at Qin Xue’s flustered gaze and her rosy face. Something stirred within him. He cracked a smile, not noticing his previously harsh gaze softening significantly.

Qin Xue noticed he was wearing camouflage clothing, with some mud on it. Seemingly just back from outside, she asked, “Comrade, are you heading back to the research institute too?”

Chu Molin was taken aback. ‘Comrade? What the hell?’ Why doesn’t this woman seem to remember him?

“Yeah, back to the institute. Let’s go.” He then walked ahead carrying the items.

Upon seeing this, Qin Xue swiftly picked up the bag on the ground and tried to catch up.

However, with his tall stature and much longer stride, she struggled to keep up, with one hand holding the items and the other supporting her belly, she ran to make up the distance.

Only then did Chu Molin slow down, waiting patiently for Qin Xue to catch up.

Qin Xue, out of breath from the rush, thought, ‘This guy really knows how to

help. Shouldn’t he have waited for me?’

‘Running so fast. Even if he knew the way, it’s no use if he doesn’t know where my house is.’

Chu Molin looked sideways at the woman running towards him, one hand carrying things and the other supporting her belly.

He furrowed his brows unconsciously. ‘Why doesn’t she take care of herself? What if she falls over?’ he wondered.

He hadn’t considered that it was his fast pace which had forced Qin Xue to hurry.

Once he slowed down, Qin Xue finally caught up with him and walked alongside him. The brisk walk left her slightly out of breath and her belly uncomfortable. She rubbed her stomach gently.

Suddenly, she felt a movement in her belly, which brought a spark of joy to her eyes, causing her to smile.

Chu Molin, who had been watching Qin Xue from the corner of his eye, was taken aback by her smiling face..
