Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 793: Chapter 787: Heart-to-Heart Talk

He was indeed escaping some things, and he knew that his thoughts at that time were not mature. He didn’t know how to face them now, so he chose to back away. He knew that it wouldn’t solve any problems, but he thought that as long as he had a wife and children, other things didn’t matter anymore. He wasn’t insisting anymore, but his wife was right in saying that he couldn’t escape. How many decades in life were there for him to keep running away from?

“Alright, I understand. I’ll think it through, don’t worry,” Chu Molin finally said.

“Actually, even if you don’t want to do it, I won’t say anything. I just don’t want you to regret it later,” Qin Xue thought about how she used to hate her deadbeat father as well, but now when she thinks about it, she doesn’t feel that hatred anymore. She feels like she has really let go, and all that matters is living well in the present.

She couldn’t go back, so it was easy for her to let go, but Chu Molin has family here. If he couldn’t let go, it would hurt every time he saw them, and seeing this made her feel heartbroken. It was better to persuade him to think clearly and let go, so that in the future, whether they have contact or not, at least he wouldn’t be torturing his own heart like this.

“Chu Molin, tonight, when we go home, can I tell you my story?” Qin Xue thought she should be honest with Chu Molin. They’d let whatever happens in the future happen naturally.

“Alright.” Chu Molin looked at Qin Xue, and she finally wanted to share her secret with him.

“Let’s hurry up then. An Hao and Li Zhao have already walked that way,” Qin Xue said after explaining that, feeling relieved, finally not having that suffocating feeling anymore. It seemed that the two of them really shouldn’t have any secrets, as it felt too terrible and exhausting to live like that.

Chu Molin smiled, then took Qin Xue’s hand and went after Li Zhao and the others. This created a strange scene with Li Zhao and his wife walking in front, Chu Molin and Qin Xue in the middle, and Chu Xiaoqiao with Chu Yi behind. The distance between them was more than four meters, making it seem quite odd.

When they arrived at the Xiaos’, they actually didn’t say much. The main reason they went was because Xiao Qi invited them, and Grandma Xiao just kept looking at Qin Xue in deep thought without saying anything. So, they didn’t stay at the Xiaos’ house for long and left with Xiao Qi, which was also a sort of post-meal exercise.

“Why did you come back so early today? Isn’t work busy?” Chu Molin asked the Xiao Qi walking beside him.

“It’s busy, but I don’t know why, I felt a bit distracted, so I decided to come home. Who would have thought that as soon as I got home, I heard Granny and the others saying that you two had come to the big courtyard, so I thought about catching up with you guys.” Xiao Qi actually wanted to invite them out for a drink, but seeing Chu Molin wearing his military uniform, he didn’t bring it up. Otherwise, he would’ve wanted to get himself drunk, as he really didn’t know why his heart was in such turmoil, and he couldn’t calm down at all.

“How about we sit over there?” Chu Molin pointed to the pavilion.

“Alright, let’s go there. We can also talk about what happened after we arrived in the Imperial Capital.” Xiao Qi hadn’t seen them since that time they had dinner at their house. His mind was a mess now, and perhaps chatting with them might help him open up, so as soon as he heard Chu Molin’s suggestion, he agreed without hesitation.

The group of seven filled the entire pavilion, and everyone found a place to sit. Other than Chu Xiaoqiao and Chu Yi, the other five were very familiar with each other, so they didn’t feel uncomfortable. Chu Xiaoqiao was also acquainted with An Hao, and Chu Yi was from the research institute, so they all got along harmoniously.
