Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 872: Chapter 866: Visit Chu Molin at School_1

“Comrades, this food was prepared by my wife for you to try. We hope you’ll like it.” Chu Molin handed it over to the guards.

“Sir, I’m afraid we can’t accept this. It’s against our regulations.” The guard appreciated Chu Molin’s gesture, but rules were rules.

“Please take it. I’m well aware of your regulations. Don’t worry about it.” Was Chu Molin not familiar with such matters? Of course, he was.

“But…” The two guards looked at Chu Molin, at a loss of what to do.

“Just take it.” Chu Molin looked at the hesitant men, his face suddenly becoming stern. His authoritative aura, symptomatic of a figure of power, visibly startled them. They couldn’t figure out what Chu Molin did for a living to possess such a dominating presence.

They weren’t men to shy away from troubles, but Chu Molin had an imposing effect over them. This surely startled them. They’d been guarding this place for quite some time and had never come across someone like Chu Molin.

...
“Then, please express our gratitude to our sister-in-law.” The two guards accepted Chu Molin’s goodwill. There wasn’t a strict rule against accepting gifts from civilians; they had merely been following old traditions.

“You’re welcome.” Chu Molin nodded before heading back to his wife.

“How did it go?” Qin Xue asked as Chu Molin approached.

“They accepted.” Chu Molin looked at his wife, realizing just how much he had missed her. How wonderful it was that she remembered to come visit him.

“Xue’er, let’s go inside and have lunch. Even if you’re not hungry, you can keep me company.” Chu Molin didn’t want his wife to leave so soon and was trying to find ways for her to stay a little longer.

“Alright, but wouldn’t that interfere with your work?” Qin Xue looked at the yearning hidden in his eyes and agreed. She wondered, though, if it could pose a problem for him.

“It won’t. We’re on break and will have two hours of rest time after lunch. Plus, you’re my wife, not a stranger. The school won’t mind.” Chu Molin thought about how there were plenty of men without wives. Having a woman visit would indeed be a rare occurrence.

But Qin Xue didn’t know this. In her former society, men with jobs like Chu Molin’s were highly sought-after bachelors. Many women wished to marry men like them, so she had no clue.

“Fine then, I’ll wait for you inside. This needs to be cut with a knife before eating.” Qin Xue had only brought a small knife. Now that she could go inside, she could borrow a knife, chop up the food, and serve it to him on a plate.

“Let’s go then.” Chu Molin took her parcel, showed it to the guard, and waited for Qin Xue to enter with him. This time, he didn’t hold her hand. He had to maintain a certain image here.

As Qin Xue walked beside him, she turned to look at his profile. He was always so charming in his work uniform. She wondered if there were women in this school who liked him. She really didn’t want to deal with any trouble.

“Chu Molin, has anyone here shown interest in you?” Qin Xue asked, preparing herself mentally.

“What are you thinking about? I’m not money.” Chu Molin looked at his wife exasperatedly. In his eyes, besides his wife, other women were just females, no different from men. He wondered if other women would be heartbroken if they knew this. There truly were women at this school who liked him, but they kept their feelings hidden.

“I never know with you. You and I both know that many people are attracted to your good looks. Speaking of looks, our two sons will definitely be more popular than you.” Qin Xue’s face flooded with a proud smile when she mentioned her sons, which caused Chu Molin to break into laughter. Had he been upstaged by his own sons?

“Hmm.” Chu Molin nodded in agreement, those two rascals definitely had what it takes. After all, they were his seeds.
