Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 880: Chapter 874: Heart-to-Heart Talk_1

Chu Molin looked at his wife beside him. She was always able to take care of those around her and consider their feelings. He didn’t know how she managed to do that. People like her always think more and put in more effort than others. He wasn’t sure if she was truly happy living like this.

“Xue’er, are you happy?” Chu Molin asked out of the blue.

“Yes, I am happy because I don’t have to consider too much here. There are many things here that don’t exist, but I am aware of them, so doing things I want to do is easier. The thinking of people here is not as open-minded as those from where we come from, but I’m not living the daily life with them. As long as you treat me well, that’s enough for me, right?” Qin Xue said, glancing at Chu Molin.

“Hmm,” Chu Molin thought, as long as she was happy, he would be at peace. He feared that she might be unhappy here and he didn’t have much time to accompany her. He just wished her happiness.

“Why did you suddenly ask this question?” Qin Xue was curious about what prompted him to ask.

“Just wanted to know if you’re happy here. Your life here is so different from what it used to be. I fear that you might keep your worries to yourself and I can’t accompany you as much as I want to.” Chu Molin thought she may lack many things in this world, but she doesn’t have to worry about food and clothing. Plus, she has her loving grandparents. But here, she’s alone with three children and her parents and siblings are far away. Hence, this question arose from his concern, nothing more.

...
“What are you saying? You protect everyone, and I protect our little home. We grow and progress together, working hard for our family, right?” Qin Xue replied with a smile.

“Yes, Xue’er, meeting you in this lifetime, even death will leave me with no regrets.” Chu Molin felt relieved upon hearing her words, knowing that he was right about her all along. If a woman gives her heart to you, she will be devoted whole-heartedly. Luckily, this woman was his, Chu Molin.

“Pah-pah, watch your mouth. Don’t speak such nonsense,” Qin Xue was annoyed at his words. Why would he say something like that?

“Okay, I’ll stop talking.” Chu Molin laughed at her reaction. If words really could come true, he would have died many times over by now.

“Smack, And don’t ever say that again, okay?” Qin Xue glared at his laughing face and gave him a light slap in annoyance.

“Okay, I promise not to use the ‘d’ word again, is that alright?” Chu Molin teased as he brushed a loose strand of hair from her face.

“I know your job is demanding, and I know you enjoy it. So, I won’t force you to do anything you don’t like. But just because I’m not pushing you doesn’t mean I don’t care about you. You need to live well for our little family. I only wish for your safety.

I don’t ask for any other achievements, just for you to be alive and safe. This is the only support we can rely on. Only if you are safe and sound can you protect more people.” Qin Xue genuinely didn’t want him to jeopardize his safety for work. It was something that gave her restless nights.

But she also understood that everyone wants to climb up the ladder. As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn’t want to become a general is not a good soldier. So everyone has dreams of getting promoted, but not everyone gets such chances after they start working. This can easily lead to frustration. Thus, Qin Xue just wanted him to always be safe. She didn’t care if he became a leader or not.

“I understand, I’ll be alright. From now on, during research missions, I’ll let others lead, while I’ll be at the back with others protecting me. Is that okay?” Chu Molin said, looking at his distressed wife. He knew he owed her a lot in this lifetime. His only way to repay her was to love her even more.
