Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 554: Chapter 549: Return to the Imperial Capital in a Month

After work, Chu Molin did not go home first, but went to the communication room instead.

“Mr. Chu.” The communications officer stood up as soon as he saw Chu Molin.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Chu Molin said in response.

“Mr. Chu, what brings you here?” The officer looked at the so-called ‘Cold King’ in front of him.

“I want to make a phone call.” Chu Molin pointed to a phone nearby.

“Mr. Chu, feel free to use the phone.” The officer stepped aside and said. He was curious, who could the Cold King possibly be calling? In all the time he’d been here, he had never seen the Cold King make a call. His curiosity was definitely piqued.

“Um, Mr. Chu, I’ll wait outside.” The officer said hurriedly, recoiling at the frosty glare from Chu Molin.

...
Even though he was burning with curiosity about the content of the Cold King’s conversation, he did not have the guts to stay and listen.

“Hello, Xiao Qi speaking.” Xiao Qi casually picked up the phone as it rang on his desk.

“Brother, it’s me.” The cold voice of Chu Molin echoed from the other side.

“Brother, why are you calling? Is something wrong?” Xiao Qi put down his pen, leaning back in his chair, and asked Chu Molin on the other end.

“Nothing’s wrong, just calling to say, my wife has had a baby. I’m a father now.” Chu Molin’s voice finally warmed up a little.

“Really? That’s great, congratulations, brother.” Xiao Qi was shocked, last time he saw Qin Xue she was not even close to due date, yet now he was receiving news of birth.

“Thank you, I’ll invite you and Zhaozi for drinks soon.” Chu Molin sat in his chair, one foot propped up on the table, his hand fiddling with the hook and eye.

“Sure, you decide when.” Xiao Qi’s voice came from the other end.

“What’s Zhaozi up to these days?” Chu Molin thought, realizing he hadn’t seen his childhood friends in a while.

“He should be around. Ever since he got married to An’an and moved back to the Imperial Capital, he has been running back and forth. I haven’t seen him in a while either.” Xiao Qi quickly returned home after their wedding, not having the energy to cope with the pressure from his family.

“Let’s call him out for a gather round soon. When my wife finishes her confinement period, I’ll be transferring to the Imperial Capital. I need to decide whether to move with them or leave them here.”

“Sure, brother. You sound like you have something else on your mind?” Xiao Qi straightened his posture as soon as he heard this and asked Chu Molin on the other end of the line.

“Brother, after Xue’er finishes her confinement period, I’m going back to the Imperial Capital.” Chu Molin’s indifferent words passed through the receiver into Xiao Qi’s ears.

“Okay, I’ll arrange things here and accompany you back.” Xiao Qi said after a short silence.

“No need, you don’t have to do that. I’m capable of handling it myself.” Chu Molin was no longer the dependent person he used to be.

“Brother, I’ll arrange things as quickly as possible and then join you. If necessary, I’ll move the company back to the Imperial Capital.” Xiao Qi was not one to abandon his friends.

“Okay, thanks brother.” Chu Molin did not refuse since Xiao Qi was so insistent.

“Brother, we’re more than friends, we’re brothers.” Xiao Qi truly grew up alongside Chu Molin, like they were two peas in a pod.

“Mmm, brothers. Let Zhaozi know, I’ll find both of you there.” Chu Molin’s voice was much softer than at the start.

“Okay, I’ll let him know.” Xiao Qi responded from his end.

“Hanging up.” After hearing Xiao Qi’s reply, Chu Molin left these two words and hung up the phone.

Xiao Qi listened to the dial tone, his expression darkened; they were finally going back to the Imperial Capital.
