Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 469: Chapter 464: Profanity Comes Out Fang Xiu had gone grocery shopping and arrived back at the research institute early, so she decided to cook a meal for Mr. Xie today.

Please continue reading on ΒOXΝʘVEL.ϹΟM . When Fang Hong returned home, she found it was about the same as when she left and thankfully, there wasn’t a mess everywhere.

She put the groceries in the kitchen and then cleaned the house before starting to cook.

Meanwhile, Qin Xue had made lots of snacks today but wasn’t planning to cook. Instead, she kneaded dough and let it rest until Chu Molin came back from work.

Chu Molin couldn’t believe how unproductive everyone seemed to be, given their apparent enthusiasm for work.

He furrowed his eyebrows and called over the team leader, instructing him to keep an eye on everyone.

“Let’s hear your thoughts,” Chu Molin said coldly.

“Deputy Chief, umm…” The team leaders were at a loss for words.

“Can’t say anything?” Chu Molin looked expressionless as he waited for anyone to come up with a reason.

“Deputy Chief, I will start working right away,” Wei Shaohui declared first.

“Deputy Chief, we will go too,” chimed in the leaders of the first and second teams. They were eager to follow suit and not be left to face Chu Molin’s wrath.

Chu Molin just stared at them, watching them scurry away one by one. Did they think they could really escape?

Had they forgotten the saying that you can’t run away from a temple? Hmph, he had plenty of ways to deal with them.

Chu Molin stood there watching them until it was time to go home for dinner.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Xue asked as her husband walked through the door.

“Nothing. What delicious things did you make today? It smells great,” Chu Molin replied, not wanting to bring his bad mood home. He tried to change the topic by talking about food.

“Mochi, bowl rice pudding, noodles with fried bean sauce. Do you want to eat now?” Qin Xue asked Chu Molin.

“I’ll shower first. I’m all sweaty and stinky,” Chu Molin said, looking at his dirty clothes.

“Alright, then I’ll start getting the food ready,” Qin Xue agreed without hesitation. After all, it was hot outside and sweat could smell unbearable.

“Mm,” Chu Molin replied as he took off his belt and hat. He put them away before going to the bedroom to grab some clothes for his shower.

Chu Molin was always quick with his showers, and today was no exception. In just a few minutes, he was done.

“Wow, look at that body!” Qin Xue whistled appreciatively when Molin stepped out of the shower.

Her cheeky expression made her look like a rogue.

It turned out that Chu Molin had only taken a pair of boxers with him to shower, so he was only wearing boxers when he came out.

Chu Molin’s bare upper body showcased his impressive muscles and sleek lines. If he were in a different era, he would’ve been a heartthrob for sure.

“Try to maintain some semblance of dignity,” Chu Molin told Qin Xue, his eyebrows furrowed as he spoke coldly.

“Ah, even angry, you’re so handsome!” Qin Xue stared at Chu Molin with starry eyes. Please forgive her for being smitten.

At this moment, Chu Molin was simply too charming. She realized that he loved to use his good looks to his advantage. Unfortunately, she was just the type to fall for such tricks. After all, everyone loves beautiful things, right?

“How handsome am I?” Suddenly, Chu Molin felt like teasing Qin Xue.

“Mmm, very handsome. You’re as good-looking as Pan An,” Qin Xue gushed with stars in her eyes.

“Really? So why haven’t I managed to sweep you off your feet?” Chu Molin asked, smiling but not really.

“Well, I’m just afraid of tarnishing your image,” Qin Xue drawled. Almost choking Chu Molin on her response, he wondered whether she actually understood what “tarnish” meant.

“What nonsense,” Chu Molin sighed, exasperated as he looked at his wife whose eyes betrayed her desires. Yet, she still pretended to be reserved.
