Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1573: Chapter 1567: Suspicion_1 Chapter 1573: Chapter 1567: Suspicion_1 At this point, Chu Molin felt that obeying his wife could save his life. Henceforth, he was inclined to believe whatever Qin Xue said. It’s not that he didn’t harbor any doubts; instead, he found her words reasonable, so he listened to her.

“Xue’er, what’s going on with Nangong Beiying?” Chu Molin thought back to Nangong Beiying’s strange behavior which puzzled him. But he didn’t quite know how to describe it.

“Nothing much. She didn’t rest well last night and only went to sleep this morning, so she’s a bit fatigued. You have no idea how busy we have been over the past month. Many things are not as simple as they seem,” Qin Xue did not talk to Chu Molin about Nangong Beiying’s situation.

At this point, she had not yet determined how to proceed with Nangong Beiying. Therefore, she didn’t want to divulge anything prematurely. Revealing any information would be unfair to Nangong Beiying as this was her private matter.

“I thought she was pregnant. Before coming here, Xiao Qi told me something. When I saw her just now, it reminded me of how Yu Xiu’s sister looked when she was pregnant. I have never seen you during your pregnancy, which is a real regret.” Chu Molin looked at Qin Xue. At the time, he didn’t know she was pregnant, and when he finally found out, several months had passed.

“What exactly did Xiao Qi tell you that you managed to remember?” Qin Xue was curious about what Xiao Qi had said about that night.

“He said he was drunk that night, and then…” Chu Molin recounted his conversation with Xiao Qi to Qin Xue. If Nangong Beiying was indeed the girl from that night, then her earlier behavior was highly suggestive of pregnancy. However, he, as a man, didn’t feel right asking his wife about another woman’s personal affair, as it could lead to misunderstandings.

“So, Xiao Qi isn’t sure about the identity of the woman he slept with? Have you ever seen such a foolish man? To not even know whether or not he slept with a woman.” Qin Xue couldn’t hold back her scolding, she wasn’t sure whether to criticize Xiao Qi for being slow or praise Nangong Beiying for handling the situation so well.

Now she was even more unsure of what to say. How could such a thing happen to her best friend of all people?

“Xiao Qi may appear smart, but he’s incredibly naive when it comes to love. It’s our good fortune that the three of us found life partners that we want to spend our lives with. Xue’er, having you makes my life beautiful.” Chu Molin touched her face, his expression full of tenderness that could make anyone melt.

“Having you by my side is wonderful too. Let’s go out first.” Qin Xue spoke, her words somewhat of a downer. Couldn’t she let the mood continue a bit longer? Even Xue Ling thought Qin Xue was too good at deflating the atmosphere.

“Alright.” Chu Molin had no objections. They might as well head out to stop their colleagues from worrying.

“By the way, how did you guys end up in such a mess? Even you fell into trouble.” Qin Xue helped him into clean clothes. She had some of his clothes in her space, and she didn’t worry about what others might say because she was only helping Chu Molin change his inner clothes.

“We were caught off guard during our retreat from Gong Wuyou, which led to us being affected by the explosion.” In fact, Chu Molin could have avoided it entirely, but had he dodged it, Gong Wuyou and Tong Xia would have been killed. Hence, he charged and took them both down with him, but inevitably suffered injuries from the blast. As they fell, they shielded him, sparing him from being seriously injured. However, both ended up unconscious.

However, he couldn’t tell his wife this; otherwise, he might have to sleep in the study — a circumstance he was keen to avoid. Thus, Chu Molin changed the subject. This couldn’t really count as lying to his wife, could it?
