Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space - Chapter 1488

Chapter 1488: Chapter 1482: On the Train Home_1 Chapter 1488: Chapter 1482: On the Train Home_1 “Is the young miss okay?” Qing Teng asked Qin Xue.

“She’s fine; just found the car ride boring, so she slept to pass the time. Don’t worry about it.” Qin Xue did not bring up Nangong Beiying’s one-night stand, as it was after all Nangong Beiying’s private matter. If it was to be spoken about, Nangong Beiying herself should be the one to say it, not Qin Xue.

“As long as she’s okay, would you like to rest a bit?” Qing Teng noticed Qin Xue’s dark circles, realizing she must have not rested well last night.

Although she had never been married, she knew what happens when a couple spends the night together. Seeing Qin Xue’s weary face, she chose not to comment.

“Sure, please take good care of the children.” Qin Xue felt truly tired. Despite the healing properties of the medicinal pills Xue Ling gave her, she felt exhausted; Chu Molin had been too demanding, and her body could barely cope.

“Alright,” Qing Teng responded.

“Xue Ling, you need to watch the children closely and ensure their safety.” Qin Xue climbed onto Qing Teng’s bunk to sleep and instructed Xue Ling in her thoughts.

“Understood, master, rest well.” Xue Ling knew their circumstances at all times, thanks to the runes it had placed on them, which had not yet expired. Thus, it wasn’t worried about them.

When it was time for them to leave and separate from the little masters, it would apply another protective rune, albeit of shorter duration. Hence, that was the moment Xue Ling would start worrying.

The little masters and the master were connected by blood, so Xue Ling could be aware of their situation, but unfortunately, not of Jingtao and Cohen’s.

Amid their continuous chatting and sleeping, the vehicle arrived in H Province, where Nangong Shulan and Qin Lei were waiting to receive them.

When Qin Lei received the telegram, he was somewhat taken aback. He had no idea what had happened in the Imperial Capital that made them bring the children back. After a phone call with Chu Molin to understand the whole situation, his mind eased, and he could let his wife know about the children.

Surprisingly, his wife did not question him but quickly agreed to accompany him to the railway station to receive them. He had been worried she might overthink the situation and had made up all sorts of excuses, but given her lack of questions, he was slightly uneasy.

“Why are you staring at me?” Nangong Shulan wondered why her husband was sneakily looking at her multiple times.

“It’s nothing,” Qin Lei said and shook his head after thinking for a moment.

“Actually, there’s something. Our son-in-law mentioned Xue’er will bring back four children this time. Our responsibility is heavy, so I thought I should discuss with you. How about letting them run the shop for now? I can help take care of the kids at home since it will be too much for you alone.” Qin Lei almost forgot to mention this most important matter.

“Sounds good. I’d like to see how well they can manage. If they do well, we can consider opening another branch.” Nangong Shulan had become rather addicted to trading, especially since the nation eased its policies, she had tasted the sweetness of profit.

In order to establish more branches, they needed to train them. Now was the perfect time.

“Alright,” Qin Lei had no objection. Although handling a new branch would bring more responsibilities, they could hire people to manage it, making things easier for his wife.

“How long will Xue’er stay this time? Did they tell you?” Nangong Shulan didn’t see the telegram and didn’t know Qin Xue’s itinerary.

“Probably a day. They are still on assignments. If it weren’t for the fact that her husband has to go to school and Xue’er has to complete a mission, they wouldn’t have thought of sending the kids back. Our son-in-law mentioned that one is your nephew from your maternal family, and another one is a kidnapped child, who, failing to find his parents, now calls them mom and dad. When talking, be careful not to hurt the children’s feelings.” Qin Lei wasn’t saying his wife was doing a poor job. On the contrary, he was afraid she might be too nice to them, which could result in the other children feeling neglected and becoming emotional.
