Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 886: Chapter 880: Encounter with An Xiaofeng_1

After leaving Chu Molin, Qin Xue wanted to stop by the shop to see if there were any areas that still needed improvement.

“Qin Xue?” She was called out before she even reached the shop.

“Oh, An Xiaofeng, what are you doing here?” Qin Xue turned upon hearing someone call her and was surprised to see that giant oaf. When she called him an oaf, she didn’t mean that he was really foolish, but rather that Qing Teng clearly liked him. Yet, despite spending every day with Qing Teng, he remained oblivious, causing much distress to Qing Teng. As an outsider, she could not interfere in their affairs. According to Qing Teng, this oaf was in love with their gang leader, so she had even less reason to interfere, lest the situation becomes extremely awkward among the three of them.

“You forgot I was transferred here.” An Xiaofeng was at a loss for words. Hadn’t they just seen each other a while ago? Had he not already told her that he had been transferred?

“Oh, I forgot. But it’s just as well that you were transferred. Saves Qing Teng some heartache.” Qin Xue nodded in acknowledgment after hearing this.

“What did you say?” An Xiaofeng didn’t quite catch Qin Xue mentioning anything about heartache.

...
“I didn’t say anything. Why are you here?” Qin Xue asked the hulking figure standing before her.

“I’m out to buy something for our boss. Would you like to meet our gang leader?” An Xiaofeng was out on errand to buy something for Feng, their boss.

“Isn’t it inappropriate for me to meet your gang leader?” Qin Xue wondered what she would do meeting their gang leader, a person she didn’t even know.

“That’s not an issue. Our gang leader is really nice. Lately, I feel that she’s been troubled. I want to help her but I don’t know how to. Since I ran into you, maybe you can meet our leader and possibly help out.” An Xiaofeng suggested, although he was unsure of what was plaguing their leader. When he stopped by earlier, it didn’t seem like she was doing anything significant.

“An Xiaofeng, you’re not actually a complete doofus, are you?” Qin Xue asked, looking at An Xiaofeng.

“What do you mean?” An Xiaofeng didn’t understand what Qin Xue meant. How did he become the doofus?

“I don’t even know your gang leader, how am I supposed to help her solve her problems? And you claim that you’re not a doofus.” Qin Xue rolled her eyes in disbelief and prepared to leave.

“Ah, Qin Xue, don’t go. Seriously, I think you can help our gang leader. Please? I’m begging you.” An Xiaofeng couldn’t explain why he was so certain that Qin Xue could assist their boss, but he had a hunch. Regardless, now that he’d run into Qin Xue, he was determined to introduce her to their boss, just like he had to Feng’s assistant. Initial refusals notwithstanding, he ended up meeting Qin Xue.

When the underlings reported to him that Qin Xue had spent a long time in Feng’s assistant’s room after their meeting, he couldn’t help but be surprised, as they mentioned that Qin Xue had only spoken a few words before she was admitted into the room.

“As a man, how can you be so stubborn? Fine, I’ll go. Can you let go of my arm now?” Qin Xue looked at the big hand gripping her arm and spoke slowly. She had no choice but to agree, since he wouldn’t let her leave otherwise.

Since she had agreed, there was no way for her to go to the shop now. She would have to find another time to visit. She wondered why An Xiaofeng was so stubborn.

“Qin Xue, thank you.” An Xiaofeng was overjoyed when he heard her agree. This was marvelous; surely their boss would be able to solve her troublesome issues now.

If Qin Xue knew what An Xiaofeng was thinking, she might have turned around and left, refusing to meet any gang leader. It was as if she was now unable to distinguish between her own business and the gang’s affairs.
