Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 725: Chapter 719: What’s the Point in Keeping Someone Whose Heart Isn’t In It?

Chu Molin came to his wife’s side, extending a hand to pull her along, Xue Ling followed nearby with their child, turning back towards their home.

“Chu Molin, what did you say to your fiancée? Why is she crying so tragically?” Qin Xue turned to glance at Luu Xiao’ai and asked Chu Molin.

“Qin Xue, do you even have a heart?” Chu Molin was frustrated on hearing her words. Does a wife behave like this? Always linking him with other women.

“Of course I do. How can one live without a heart?” Qin Xue’s thoughts drifted to the Investiture of the Gods she had watched in her past life. After Bi Gan had his heart coaxed out by Daji for the King Zhou, he asked a woman selling vegetables without heart: Could the vegetables live without a heart, could people live without a heart?

The answer Bi Gan got was that humans cannot live without a heart. Then, Bi Gan collapsed and died. Now, Chu Molin asking the same made Qin Xue find it amusing, she even genuinely laughed.

“You’re still laughing, other women are trying to steal you away, yet you claim you have heart. Is this how someone with a heart would behave?” Chu Molin had never seen such a woman, she disregarded him to such an extent, it hurt him.

...
“What’s mine won’t be snatched away, what isn’t mine won’t stick around even if I insist. If your heart is not with me, can I keep you? What’s the point in keeping you?” Qin Xue responded to his words.

To Qin Xue, she didn’t want a relationship that was forced. It would only cause pain for both parties. Since there was no hope, why not let oneself go and release the other party as well? Maybe life would be better, happier that way.

And so, the problem Chu Molin brought up wasn’t really a problem for Qin Xue. Why bother about something posing no problem? Wouldn’t it be punishing oneself? Life is only fleeting decades, it was enough to live it happily in the present. Putting too much worry into things would tire a person out.

Listening to his wife’s words, Chu Molin pondered. Emotions were indeed as his wife described them, after all, forced melons aren’t sweet. Shouldn’t he be thankful that he received the feelings of his wife now, otherwise he would be unaware of how she viewed emotions.

Qin Xue didn’t say any more, merely casting a glance at Chu Molin. This man, although handsome and attractive, was emotionially obtuse. The women who liked him really got a raw deal.

Loving a man like this, who didn’t understand emotions, but is this truly the case? Only Chen Molin knew the answer.

“Big brother, sister-in-law.” Chu Xiaoqiao called out, wanting to follow her brother and sister-in-law, but her hand was stopped by someone.

“Xiaoqiao, can you keep me company?” Luu Xiao’ai wanted to ask about Chu Molin’s situation, she could only start by approaching Chu Xiaoqiao. Hence she could not let Chu Xiaoqiao follow them.

“Xiao’ai.” Chu Xiaoqiao looked at Luu Xiao’ai, almost forgetting that she came out with Luu Xiao’ai.

“Xiaoqiao, can you tell me about brother Chu, and his wife?” Luu Xiao’ai, with a bit of a downcast mood, asked Chu Xiaoqiao.

“Xiao’ai, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, rather, I don’t know much either. You know, in these many years my brother didn’t stay at home, let alone maintain contact with family. I only knew they were in the Imperial Capital by fluke. You saw it too, aside from his wife who spoke a few words to me, my brother didn’t even give me a glance. With things like this, how can I know about them?” Chu Xiaoqiao only got to know of the situation from An Hao.

But she wasn’t foolish. Can’t she clearly see that Xiao Ai likes her elder brother? If she says anything to Xiao Ai, isn’t that causing a crack in her brother’s marriage? She won’t do that. She quite liked sister-in-law Qin Xue. So she doesn’t want to become someone her brother and sister-in-law hate.

If Luu Xiao’ai knew about Chu Xiaoqiao’s thoughts, she would definitely be infuriated. After being together so many years, did it not compare to someone who was just met a few days ago? But the fact was that they didn’t compare.
