Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1634: Chapter 1628: Abnormal

Of course, Liang Shaohui and the others admired Qing Teng’s exceptional beauty, but their eyes held only appreciation, with not a trace of disrespect, as if she were a work of art, to be admired but not touched.

Gong Wuyou looked at Qing Teng’s face, his heart beating a bit faster than usual. Why did he find this woman so familiar? Especially her eyes, which looked so much like the little figure in his heart–bright and dazzling like stars.

“Hey, hey, time to snap back to reality. Among the beauties present, none of you stand a chance; they’re all taken, so you folks are out of luck. Better focus on eating because you’ll need the energy to find a wife, right?” Qin Xue’s words nearly shocked everyone present.

However, her words did reveal one piece of information: among these beauties, each already had someone, so they had no shot.

“Xue’er, could you be a bit more tactful with your words?” Although Chu Molin was pleased that Qin Xue wasn’t interested in any of them, her directness was a bit too much.

Chu Molin forgot that he was even more direct and sharp-tongued when he spoke, something even more unbearable for others.

“Speak too subtly, and they won’t understand, so this way it’s simpler and clearer.” Qin Xue had no other thoughts about it; it was purely a spur-of-the-moment interest.

At least among those present, Rain didn’t have someone yet, and Qing Teng was also moving on from An Xiaofeng, so the two of them were currently unattached. She just didn’t want these two to be pursued by others so quickly.

However, Qin Xue miscalculated on one person, and that person was Deng Kai.

Deng Kai looked at the girl engrossed in her food, seemingly unaffected by their conversation.

It was as if her heart only held the delicious food in front of her, nothing else. Watching her eat so contentedly, Deng Kai unconsciously started eating the food in front of him too. He didn’t know if it was psychological, but even though it was the same food, he felt like it tasted better than before.

Among those present, only Chu Molin noticed his change, then looked away as if he hadn’t seen anything unusual.

It was rare for this wooden guy to show something unusual, so they ought to let him develop a bit, not squashing it from the start.

If it were someone else, Chu Molin might have intervened, but since it was Deng Kai, he decided not to.

Deng Kai was an orphan, picked up and raised by his current parents, who treated him like their own child. However, Deng Kai was afraid that if anything happened to him, it would hurt others, so he never wanted to marry. His adoptive parents were very worried about this but couldn’t persuade him, so they let him be.

Every time they visited, they would come to Chu Molin, asking him to persuade Deng Kai to start a family soon and give them a grandchild. They said they couldn’t move around now and could help him raise the child, which would allow them to work with peace of mind.

But since their son was unwilling, as parents, there was nothing they could do. In the end, they went with their son’s wishes, though they still hoped in their hearts that he would marry, so he would have someone by his side, even in old age.

Initially, Chu Molin did speak with Deng Kai, but Deng Kai had his logical points. In the end, Chu Molin went along with him because what Deng Kai said was true. They were so busy every day and had no time for a family; if something happened to them, how pitiful would that be?

This reasoning touched Chu Molin, so he never brought up the topic with Deng Kai again. Therefore, when he saw Deng Kai showing more attention to Rain, he didn’t stop him. He also hoped for a good outcome for him.
