Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1130: Chapter 1124 Found the Result_1 Chapter 1130: Chapter 1124 Found the Result_1 Jing Xin glanced at Nangong Shulan. Sometimes, he truly wanted to ask her if she recognized him, but her attitude toward him was no different from her attitude toward the likes of Qin Yu. Hence, he found it impossible to bring himself to pop the question.

Given that her attitude toward Ouyang Ziyu seemed strikingly similar too, Jing Xin now found it even harder to bring up the whole issue.

He had originally intended to put the matter out of his mind, but last night, his wife told him that she was planning to go to the Imperial Capital with Qin Xue. He had never expected his wife to make such a decision. Upon seeing her determination, he found it difficult to question her further.

Especially when his wife mentioned her trip to the Imperial Capital was to ensure a safe pregnancy away from Jing Yuan’s persistent malice, he knew he had no place to object. His current goal was to confirm if he shared any connections with the Nangong family so that his wife wouldn’t have to worry too much during her time there.

Yet, how was he supposed to communicate this? He could tell that Nangong Shulan had never spoken a word about the Nangong family.

“What are you thinking? Eat your food.” Chu Molin looked at the absent-minded Jing Xin and gently nudged him.

“Alright.” Jing Xin nodded. He wasn’t supposed to get lost in his thoughts at this moment. Upon Chu Molin’s reminder, he acquiesced. Any further show of distraction would be disrespectful to the master of the house.

Chu Molin noticed that Jing Xin had been looking at his mother-in-law while in deep thought. After some contemplation, he understood what was troubling Jing Xin. However, he couldn’t offer any help as he didn’t wish to disrupt his wife’s peaceful life. Meanwhile, Qin Lang had been investigating his wife’s past as well, and half a year had passed. Chu Molin wondered how far Lang had gotten with his investigation.

As a matter of fact, Qin Lang did unravel the mystery, but when he thought about the reason for Qin Xue’s mother’s departure, he found it impossible to reveal it to his family.

Every time he saw his uncle’s family living happily, he felt even more uncertain about how to break the news. Consequently, he bottled everything inside, telling no one about it.

Qin Lang gazed at his uncle on the opposite side of the table. He didn’t understand why his uncle didn’t marry Qin Xue’s mother back then. Though he wasn’t too familiar with his aunt-in-law, he reckoned that only the parties involved would know if the decision had been a good one or not.

Qin Lang shook his head. Nevermind, he decided to let it all go. He wouldn’t obsess over it anymore. As long as he knew that Qin Xue and her siblings were his own siblings, he would be content. With these thoughts settled, he began to eat.

“Brother Lang, what are you thinking about? Why are you only eating rice and not the dishes?” Ying asked, noticing Qin Lang at her side, who had been silently looking at her father and eating nothing but rice. Could one get full just by gazing at her father?

“Nothing. I was just thinking about some issues at work, but I’m not troubled by them anymore. How are things going between you and Gu Beihan lately?” Qin Lang inquired softly. Just because others didn’t know about something, didn’t mean he was in the dark too.

“Just the usual. I have no idea why he doesn’t reciprocate my feelings.” Ying responded with a low mood, not being able to precisely state if Gu Beihan didn’t like her or if his liking was only platonic. She was distressed, yet she didn’t know what to do about it.

“Why don’t you just be upfront with him? You could simply tell him that you’re from the Qin family.” Qin Lang wondered why Ying had not revealed her identity yet despite having done so much for Gu Beihan. As for himself, he wouldn’t accept a woman of unknown identity, let alone a conscientious man like Gu Beihan.

Qin Lang couldn’t make a decisive judgement on whether Gu Beihan was a good or bad person. His gut instinct told him that his cousin shouldn’t be overly fixated on a man like Gu Beihan, but the fact that she was head over heels in love with him and even kept secrets from her family to get involved in his affairs, left him with no say in the matter.

If it weren’t for the fact that he knew Gu Beihan wouldn’t harm her, he wouldn’t let her act so recklessly, regardless of any circumstance.
