Hearing Qin Xue’s muffled voice from his chest, Chu Molin couldn’t help but laugh.

Qin Xue listened to the vibrations in the man’s chest as he laughed. It was so unusual, wasn’t it?

Even though she was not familiar with him, she knew from their interactions so far that he wasn’t someone who would laugh wholeheartedly.

Qin Xue pushed the man away with her hand, looked up at his still-unfaded smile, and touched his mouth with her hand, saying:

“You look so nice when you laugh.” This time it was Chu Molin who was stunned, the warmth from the touch on the corner of his mouth brought him back to his senses.

He didn’t like physical contact with people, especially women.

But now, he didn’t dislike Qin Xue’s touch, even to the point where he liked it.

From the moment he knew of his feelings, he wanted more, but he knew he couldn’t.

Although they were husband and wife, their relationship was only slightly more familiar than that of strangers.

He could not scare her, despite her seemingly gentle demeanor these past two days.

However, the distance in the depths of her eyes could not escape Chu Molin’s sight.

So, he had to proceed step by step, slowly opening her heart and walking in. Chu Molin grabbed the small hand at the corner of his mouth and held it in his own.

He realized her hand was really small, only half the size of his, and he could completely wrap his hand around hers.

Qin Xue freed her hand from Chu Molin’s grasp, blushing and pouting:

“What are you doing? Hurry up and go to work.” Then she handed him a cup filled with spiritual spring water.

“This is for you!”

“What’s inside?” Chu Molin asked while holding the cup.

It wasn’t a transparent cup, so he couldn’t see what was inside, but holding it in his hand, he could feel it was a liquid.

“Oh, it’s just water. You can take it and drink.”

“No need, there’s water in the office! I won’t go thirsty.” Chu Molin twitched the corner of his mouth!

“This is different, just take it. What’s with all the needless talk?” Qin Xue pushed it into his arms.

She muttered, “If it wasn’t for you being the child’s father, I wouldn’t care about you. What does it have to do with me whether you get hurt or not?”

Ah, so she knew he was injured and that was the reason for giving it to him.

How did she know he was injured? Was it because of the bandage last night when he took a shower?

But didn’t he secretly throw it away? When did she see it?

“Alright, I’ll take it. You go and rest now.” Chu Molin called for his wife to rest before going to work with the water.

“I know, I’m not tired now, I just finished breakfast. I’ll go later.” Qin Xue was not a pig; she didn’t sleep right after eating.

Qin Xue cleaned up the dishes and then took out a pen and paper to start drawing a design.

Thinking about how Chu Molin softened when talking about the child today, could she design a set of parent-child outfits based on this?

Yes, this inspiration was good. Parent-child outfits hadn’t appeared in this era, but they were common in the future, so she decided to draw parent-child outfits today.

Qin Xue looked at the three design drawings on the table.

One was for a father, mother, and child, another was for a father and child, and another was for a mother and child. In each, there were both boys and girls.

In the end, Qin Xue decided to add a couple’s version, so she drew four in for today.

Looking at the time, it was about time to start cooking, so she put down her pen.

She left the room, started washing the rice, and began cooking. As she recalled the man enjoyed eating sweets yesterday,

Qin Xue decided to make sweet and sour ribs, sweet and sour fish, tomato and egg soup, and stir-fried vegetables. This was enough for two to eat, so she got to work.

After Qin Xue was done cooking, there was still some time before they finished work.

So, she covered the dishes with a plate, lay down on a reclining chair to rest and relax her mind.

Once she let her mind wander, she immediately entered dreamland.

In her dream, she went back to the present day, seeing her grandparents’ white hair, sending off her black-haired self, filled with sorrow.

She saw her father apologizing to her, promising her mother that he would take good care of her and protect her.

But after marrying her stepmother, he sent her to her grandparents’ side and didn’t fulfill his fatherly duties.

When her father wanted to say something, her grandmother chased him out, blaming him for not taking good care of Qin Xue, which led to her accident.

She saw her stepmother fake sympathy and comfort her grandmother, saying: “This is something no one wanted, we can’t just blame Qin Yue, it was an accident.”

But Qin Xue caught a glimpse of her stepmother’s malicious happiness in her eyes, which was so obvious.

Yeah, without her there to annoy her and compete with her child for the inheritance, wasn’t it a blessing in disguise for her?
