Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 929: Chapter 923 Announcement came down _1

Qin Xue thought about how few people were specially recruited, only those with the ability had this privilege, so she was indeed a special case.

“Hmm, if it weren’t for the mess I’m mired in, I would’ve gladly accompanied you. It’s quite depressing that I can’t embrace what I love in this lifetime.” Nangong Beiying thought about her family, which consisted only of her. She had so many responsibilities at home, it was already a wonder she hadn’t buckled under the pressure.

“Why not recruit someone to help you, at best, a man who’s eventually going to marry you. You could then be free to do whatever you want, as there’d be someone to share your responsibilities at home. That would be nice, right?” Qin Xue thought that with a partner like that they would truly have a companion. Plus, Yingying’s medical skills were so good. Considering she was even a military doctor in the Special Forces in her previous life, it would be really regretful if she wasn’t able to do what she wanted this time around.

“You make it sound so easy to find a son-in-law. Do you know where you stand with such a person? The Nangong household is full of issues you can’t even start to comprehend. It has taken me months to pacify matters to the position it is today, let alone dissatisfied people lurking in the corners – imagine the chaos if I let a backstabber in. Would that make things easier or just add to the troubles?” Nangong Beiying looked at this person who spoke so carelessly. If the legacy of a family was as easy as Qin Xue made it sound, then there wouldn’t be such underhanded scheming in the world.

“Aren’t you dating Xiao Qi? Let him help you out, even better, invite him to marry into your family. That way, you wouldn’t have to worry about dodgy people sneaking into the Nangong clan,” Qin Xue reasoned, seeing that the perfect set-up was already there, there was no need to scout for one.

“Who said I’m dating him? Even I wasn’t aware,” Nangong Beiying responded irritably. She didn’t even know she was in love yet, so how did Xuexue figure it out?

...
“Tsk, tsk. Who are you trying to fool and why would you kiss someone if you were not in love with them?” Qin Xue countered, looking at Beiying’s slightly swollen lips, making a statement that nearly made Beiying choke.

“I didn’t know he was going to kiss me! He said it was a goodbye to Chu Beiying, and I am now Nangong Beiying. He was only supposed to kiss my forehead, how was I to know he would actually kiss me?” Nangong Beiying muttered, her face flushed.

“Yingying, you’re too naive. Make sure that you don’t end up being cheated and still count money for the fraudsters,” Qin Xue chided, looking at the otherwise sharp and intelligent Nangong Beiying who seemed clueless about love. It must be her past life as a soldier, being around burly men, unknowing of the differences between love and friendship. She probably thinks of Xiao Qi like her solder pals.

“How is that possible? I’m not stupid.” Nangong Beiying looked at Qin Xue as if she were an idiot.

“Be honest, do you like Xiao Qi?” Qin Xue squared Nangong Beiying’s shoulders, facing her directly.

“Does not disliking him count?” Nangong Beiying paused before replying by asking a question.

“Well, not disliking is the first step towards liking. You’re okay with him touching you, right? Is the feeling any different when he touches you compared to when your soldier pals do?” Qin Xue asked, looking at Beiying’s expression and started coaching solemnly. She had now played the role of a love guru.

“Huh, it is a bit different, but he isn’t the type of man I would marry; he’s too wimpy,” Nangong Beiying reflected and then declared.
