While waiting for the bus at the institute, other people were also heading to the county town. However, Qin Xue did not know any of them, so she did not greet them.

Some women’s men worked under Chu Moline Seeing him, they would greet him too, and even if they didn’t know him, they would follow suit.

However, Chu Molin, with his stern face, would just slightly nod back, embodying the concept of ‘silence is golden’. Those who didn’t know Qin Xue turned to look at her more because of Chu Molin, yet even out of curiosity, they dared not say anything in front of him, allowing Qin Xue and the others to wait for the bus in peace.

When the bus arrived, Chu Molin and Qin Xue did not rush on. Instead, they waited for everyone else to board before getting on the bus from behind. Chu Molin, with one hand carrying alcohol and the other supporting Qin Xue, got on the bus. The seats at the front were all taken, so the two headed towards the back to find seats.

Fortunately, there were seats available; otherwise, they would have had to stand during the long journey, which would be really inconvenient for Qin Xue who was pregnant.

Chu Molin had Qin Xue sit on the inside seat while he sat on the outside to shield her from any possible encounters with others in the aisle.

Some women who had boarded the bus earlier were also sitting in the back. Looking at Chu Molin’s actions, they felt envious. It was so considerate! They just gazed and kept their thoughts to themselves, careful not to utter a word.

The jolting ride made Qin Xue rather sleepy. Her head leaned against the window, occasionally knocking against it. Noticing this, Chu Molin shifted closer to her, gently guided her head to rest on his shoulder, and wrapped his arm around her to secure her head, preventing it from uncomfortably moving about in her sleep.

Qin Xue cracked her eyes open slightly and, upon realizing it was Chu Molin, relaxed and resumed her sleep on his shoulder.

She didn’t know how long she had slept before being woken up by Molin saying: “Xue’er, wake up, we’ve arrived, we need to get off.”

Qin Xue opened her almond-shaped eyes. The sight of her groggy charms made Chu Molin’s heart flutter. If they weren’t on the bus, he would have definitely planted a kiss on her. She was simply too adorable.

Qin Xue glanced around, noticed the bus was pulling into the station, and yawned while stretching her back. The sleep was satisfying but left her a bit stiff.

Normally, when Qin Xue was riding the bus alone, she would never dare to sleep for fear of thieves. But now with Chu Molin by her side, she finally felt safe enough to do so.

Qin Xue was among the last to exit the bus, waiting until everyone else had disembarked before slowly getting off. Chu Molin, one hand carrying the alcohol and the other holding Qin Xue’s hand, led the way towards the black market. The more they walked, the more familiar the route seemed to Qin

Xue.

It wasn’t until they stood before a large iron gate that Qin Xue couldn’t resist turning to Chu Molin in surprise, her mouth agape.

Noticing Qin Xue’s startled expression, Chu Molin raised her chin to close her open mouth, asking, “Xue’er, what’s wrong?”

“Uh, nothing.” In her mind, a thousand horses were running wild. What could she say? What an incredible coincidence!

After ringing the bell, they silently waited for someone to open the door. Qin Xue quietly stepped back behind Chu Molin. He noticed her movement but assumed that she was merely nervous, and did not comment, letting her be.

As soon as An Hao emerged, she was shocked to see Chu Molin standing at the entrance with items in hand. She let out such a loud exclamation that it could practically burst eardrums.

The moment the door opened, An Hao threw herself at Chu Molin, but he easily sidestepped her. Remembering that his wife was still behind him, Chu Molin grabbed Qin Xue’s arm and pulled her into his arms, both of them neatly evading An Hao’s body in the process.

After missing the intended target of her hug, An Hao managed to stabilize herself. With teary eyes, she looked at Chu Molin accusingly, “Molin, why haven’t you changed at all? Letting me hug you won’t kill you.”

Then her gaze landed on Qin Xue in Chu Molin’s arms, leaving her stunned and speechless as she pointed at them..
