Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Jingtao beamed at Chu Molin when he realized he had understood his meaning and started laughing.

“Little rascal, sit still and wait, I’ll pour you some water.” Chu Molin told Jingtao, and looked towards Jing Xin, signaling him to keep an eye on Jingtao and not let him fall off the bed. Jing Xin nodded in understanding.

“Chu Molin, give him the water from my bag.” The water in Qin Xue’s bag was from the spiritual spring, and it would be better for Jingtao’s current condition to drink some.

“Alright.” Chu Molin understood Qin Xue’s intention.

“Here, drink slowly, don’t choke.” Chu Molin’s voice was cold, but his words were tinged with concern.

Qin Xue couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“What’s so funny?” Fang Xiu, who had cried enough and was now just red-eyed, asked after hearing Qin Xue’s laughter.

“Don’t you think Chu Molin is hilarious?” Qin Xue asked with a smile.

“Funny? I don’t get it, what’s funny?” Fang Xiu asked, not quite understanding.

“He’s such a cold person, but see how much Jingtao relies on him? Look at how cold and emotionless he appears, with a cold face and cold voice. But then think about what he says to Jingtao. Did you figuring anything out?” Qin Xue asked Fang Xiu with a smile.

“Mr. Chu will be enslaved by children in the future.” Fang Xiu, after thinking about it, replied with a knowing expression.

“I don’t know if he’ll be a child’s slave, but I do know he’ll be a great dad in the future.” Qin Xue looked at Chu Molin, and her heart felt especially sweet.

“Yes, he really is.” Fang Xiu agreed.

“So he’s the kind of person who seems cold but actually has a warm heart, no wonder Jingtao likes him.” Qin Xue also now understood why Jingtao was so fond of him. After all, it’s said that children never lie, and they know who’s truly kind to them.

“Yeah, and thanks to both of you for helping us. Otherwise, my son and I wouldn’t know what kind of life we’d be in now.” Fang Xiu glanced at Qin Xue, then at Chu Molin, and finally her husband and son. Jing Xin might not be a true husband to her, but he was still her nominal husband.

“Leave the past behind, happiness is something you have to grasp for yourself, and some things can’t be blamed on him.” Qin Xue gave Fang Xiu a gentle push.

Fang Xiu looked at Qin Xue and nodded, then, with a smile, walked toward the father and son.

“Mr. Chu, sister-in-law, the food is here.” Li Dabao entered the hospital room carrying several meals.

“Okay, thank you.” Qin Xue took the food and thanked Li Dabao.

Qin Xue remembered that when Li Dabao had reported to Chu Molin that Jing Xin was awake, he had said that he was going to ask Fang Xiu what she wanted to eat, and he would buy it.

But then they found out Jing Xin had woken up, so he hadn’t bought the food, and Li Dabao had eaten at their house. But Fang Xiu and the others hadn’t eaten anything. So, when Li Dabao escorted Fang Xiu and her son to the hospital, Qin Xue asked him to buy some food for them.

“No need to thank me.” Li Dabao said shyly, thinking that Mr. Chu’s sister-in-law was too polite.

“Xiu, come and eat. Chu Molin, bring this porridge to Jing Xin.” Qin Xue took out the food and spoke to Fang Xiu and Chu Molin.

Fang Xiu didn’t put on any airs and refused to eat as she was indeed hungry.

Fang Xiu was going to feed Taotao first before she ate herself.

Qin Xue stopped her: “You eat yours, I’ll feed Taotao.”

“Qin Xue, thank you.” Fang Xiu was truly grateful for Qin Xue’s help. Ever since she had met Qin Xue, she had been constantly helping her and her son.

“Why the politeness? We’re friends, aren’t we? Or do you not want to acknowledge me as your friend?” Qin Xue stared at Fang Xiu and asked.

“Qin Xue, you know that’s not what I meant.” Fang Xiu said anxiously.

“Alright, alright, I was just joking. Go eat.” Qin Xue quickly reassured Fang Xiu after seeing that she had been scared by her words.
