Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space - Chapter 924

Chapter 924: Chapter 918: Nangong Beiying and Xiao Qi_1

After listening to Chu Molin, Qin Xue reluctantly nodded her head. She admitted that Xiao Qi was indeed a good man, so she wasn’t that worried about it. Besides, it wouldn’t be a bad thing if someone could thaw the icy demeanor of Yingying.

In her previous life, it wasn’t like nobody liked Yingying, but she rejected all of them. Her reason was that she was still young and didn’t want to date, a reason that Qin Xue found both funny and irritating.

If Xiao Qi could now open her heart, it would be a beautiful thing. So, she just let it be.

“Xiaoqiao, serve the guests some tea,” Qin Xue turned to Chu Xiaoqiao and said. She then let go of Chu Molin’s hand, turned around, and went to the storeroom to get some snacks. These were jerky, potato snacks, five-spice melon seeds and peanuts which she made when she had free time. She took out some of each to entertain the guests.

This was all she had at home, and these were specifically made to help Xiaoqiao practice her culinary skills and to kill time when they had nothing to do.

“Chu Molin, there are so many people here, do we have to eat at home today?” Qin Xue asked Chu Molin. She was still having a cold and cooking might be a little tiring. She didn’t want to stir-fry. How about having hot pot? It would be lively with so many people.

“Do you want to cook? Why don’t we go out and eat?” Chu Molin also knew his wife was ill.

“No, I just want to eat hot pot. I don’t want to stir-fry.” That was Qin Xue’s motive. The cold had numbed her taste buds, and hot pot would be stimulating enough for her.

“You’re sick and you still want to eat hot pot. Do you want your condition to worsen?” Chu Molin opposed to it. Having a cold already brings heat to the body, and eating hot pot will only make it worse.

“I can just eat the vegetarian dishes, you guys can eat the meat. As for the chili, you can just put it in your own bowls and not in the soup. Please, can you agree on this?” Qin Xue started to act cute to get her way.

“No, let Xiaoqiao cook. You’ve taught her this long, it’s time for her to practice. You cannot eat hot pot today, wait till you’ve recovered.” Chu Molin didn’t leave any room for negotiation for Qin Xue.

He could normally comply with her, but not when it is about her health. Don’t even think about it.

“Fine, I get it.” Qin Xue pouted, she had no choice but to eat lightly. She usually preferred spicy food, and now she wanted it even more. But this man who usually spoiled her unconditionally refused, for once.

“Chu Molin, we need to discuss something with you tonight.” Qin Xue remembered that she hadn’t yet talked to Chu Molin about letting Yingying help him train the soldiers.

“Alright.” Chu Molin agreed since she wasn’t insisting on the hot pot anymore. He was worried she would continue to insist, and he didn’t have the heart to refuse her.

Elsewhere, after taking Nangong Beiying out, Xiao Qi pulled her directly back to his house. As soon as they entered the door, he pulled Nangong Beiying into his arms and held her tightly.

“Xiao Qi, what madness is this? You’re suffocating me.” Nangong Beiying struggled, feeling like she was about to be murdered.

“Yes, I’m mad, driven mad by you.” Xiao Qi loosened his grip on her slightly after hearing her words, yet still held onto her. At this moment, he felt that his heart was filled, not missing a piece anymore.

“Um, what does your madness have to do with me?” Nangong Beiying rolled her eyes. She was sure she didn’t owe him anything.

“How can you say that? Why didn’t you tell me when you left? You just disappeared without a word.” Xiao Qi was reminded of his depressed mood during that time. This heartless woman even dared to say it had nothing to do with her.
