Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1042 Teasing Chu Molin_1

After giving the guy a kiss, Qin Xue took off. She thought of the man who had frozen up earlier and found herself chuckling. Hehe, he was just too cute. It was quite amusing to tease him occasionally.

“Dr. Qin.” Dongfang He called out to Qin Xue who was walking away laughing.

“Ah, hello Dr. Dongfang. Is there something you need?” Qin Xue turned her head when she heard the call, seeing Dongfang He standing not far off. She wondered what was up.

“Nothing in particular. I saw your interaction with the commander and wanted to ask if you are really his wife?” Dongfang He asked, recalling a conversation with Chu Molin from the night before.

“Yes, I am. Is there a problem with that?” Qin Xue didn’t deny it. Was there an issue that they were husband and wife?

“No, not at all. It’s just surprising to see you two, who seem to have very different personalities, are actually a couple. That’s all.” Dongfang He explained further. Its was a question burning in his mind. Ouyang Ziyu was egging on him to pursue Qin Xue. But if she was already married, there would be no point chasing her, right?

Why Dongfang He thought this way was because he wasn’t interested in getting married. Not at least for now. But Ouyang Ziyu was quite pushy. If he didn’t clear things up now, he’d be in for some serious awkwardness down the line when she starts making announcements.

“That’s just destiny. There are lots of people in the world who look like husband and wife, but they are not.” Qin Xue looked at Dongfang He, who was making conversation out of nowhere. What was he trying to say by choosing such an odd topic?

“That’s true, alright, you should get back. Some more injured were just brought in. Ouyang is taking care of the lady in labor, and the others are overwhelmed. We could do with more hands.” Dongfang He, not knowing how to follow up on Qin Xue’s words, decided to change the subject.

“Alright, Dr. Dongfang, you get back to your work as well. I should get going.” Qin Xue gave Dongfang He a curious look, not quite understanding what he ultimately wanted to express. Not wanting to dwell on it, she decided to go do her work. The sooner she finished, the sooner she could return home. She missed her two little boys. She wondered if they had been crying.

Back in the Qins’ village, the two children hadn’t fussed much during the night. Yu Ze was alright, being older he understood the situation, but Yu Chen couldn’t. So, it was mostly Yu Chen making a fuss. He had cried a lot initially, then sobbed softly. The family found it both trying and humorous. Nevertheless, they had to comfort him.

“Dear, what do you think Qin Xue and my son-in-law are doing? I hope they are alright.” Nangong Shulan asked her husband while soothing the child.

“Don’t worry, they should be fine. They are just helping those in need, nothing else.” Qin Lei was actually worried too. He had heard that many had died in the earthquake. This was the winter and the time of the year when those who worked outside returned home. Many were at home when the earthquake struck and could not escape in time. The situation was quite dire. But he couldn’t tell his wife this or else she would worry to death.

“I hope they return home safe and soon. I wonder what has happened for such misfortune to befall. The New Year is near and people can’t even rest easy. Will they be able to finish their work and return home for the New Year?” Nangong Shulan voiced her worries, looking towards the entrance door.

“I believe they will return for the New Year. Let’s not speculate. Let’s focus on taking care of our grandson so that when our daughter and son-in-law return, they see him still chubby and healthy.” Qin Lei consoled his worried wife while holding Yu Ze.
