Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2825: Chapter 2823: Remember to Come See Me

”Boss, are you for real? Why do you know about this while I have no idea?” Xiao Qi was initially very happy, but after the joy, he deflated.

Even Chu Molin knew, yet he, the person involved, was kept in the dark. No wonder Nangong Beiying always looked like she had something to say but never did when she saw him.

He’s the child’s father, but he’s the last to know. What father would want to see this kind of result?

”Because you’re stupid,” Chu Molin bluntly retorted.

”Alright, I get it. Even if it kills me, I’ll make her agree to marry me. As long as I’m not dead, I’ll carry her to the wedding if I have to.” Xiao Qi understood how tough being a single mom was and how people would look down on her.

People might not be saying anything to her face now because the Nangongs are wealthy, and others are wary of that. But that doesn’t mean they’re not talking behind her back.

Because he knew what was going on, he was even more determined to have her agree to his proposal.

He had heard those rumors and gossip, and they were truly unpleasant.

”Have courage. Go for it. Don’t worry, if you die, we’ll come to collect your body,” Chu Molin rarely spoke to his friends like this.

Because of their jobs, when they went out, there was a chance they might not come back, so they were all very averse to the word ”death.”

But being averse didn’t mean they were afraid. On the contrary, they were more determined. This was the first time he spoke to someone close to him like this.

It was because he really wanted the best for her; otherwise, he wouldn’t have spoken that way.

”Alright, I’m off. Remember, if I really end up dead, you better come see me, or you won’t get to see me at all,” Xiao Qi had never been so pitiful before.

After saying that, he puffed out his chest, stood up straight, and walked away without waiting for Chu Molin and the others to respond.

”Pfft, someone who didn’t know might think he’s heading to the guillotine. This is too funny,” Qin Xue was genuinely amused.

”If you don’t push him, he’s not going to rush. Others only see his family’s wealth, but he’s been quite lonely since childhood. His family was always busy with work, and as the eldest, he had too many expectations and too much pressure, so he often sneaked out. That’s when we met,” Chu Molin never saw Xiao Qi as a playboy. On the contrary, because he endured so much, he directly defied his family’s plans and left.

That outcome was something they hadn’t anticipated. He had nothing at the time, but he chose to study abroad and then started his own business.

He infuriated his grandfather, to say the least, and relied on himself all these years.

But his upbringing made him very disciplined and well-behaved, without any of the bad habits of a rich kid.

This is why he’s so at a loss when facing Nangong Beiying—because no one ever taught him how to interact with girls.

And Chu Molin only ended up in a marriage because he was set up, maybe because he’s a bit overbearing, Qin Xue got drawn in unknowingly, like a frog being boiled in warm water.

But Nangong Beiying is different. Her previous job made her especially rational, clearly knowing what she wants in everything she does.

Imagine two such people trying to be together. Unless Xiao Qi uses his skills from the business world, how could he make Nangong Beiying submit?

But she’s also a big name in business. Trying to outdo her is easier said than done. Therefore, Xiao Qi has to be a little more assertive himself. Otherwise, he shouldn’t even think about gaining Nangong Beiying’s approval.
