Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1257: Chapter 1251 Accompaniment_1 Chapter 1257: Chapter 1251 Accompaniment_1 So, they weren’t concerned about how long Nangong Beiying and Qin Xue were going to embrace for. Instead, they went in and each found something to do.

“Yingying, cook with me. We haven’t cooked together in the kitchen for a long time.” Qin Xue let go of Nangong Beiying and dragged her towards the kitchen.

They had been here for more than a year, throughout which they were each busy with their affairs. They had little time to gather, let alone cook together.

“Sure.” Nangong Beiying noticed that Qin Xue seemed preoccupied, so she decided to accompany her to prevent her from feeling lonely.

“Hmm.”

“Boss, what’s wrong with sister-in-law? She seems off.” Xiao Qi asked Chu Molin, who was standing at the front door watching them.

Chu Molin just glanced at him, then turned to hold the child. The child was learning to crawl now, and if they weren’t careful, they might fall.

Xiao Qi watched Chu Molin in confusion. Did he ask the wrong question? But the sister-in-law definitely seemed different from usual, didn’t she?

Xiao Qi followed Chu Molin in, took a child out to the living room, and put the child on a blanket to play with toys.

“Taotao, what are you doing?” Xiao Qi watched Jingtao puzzle together pieces, but he couldn’t understand how Jingtao was connecting them, yet Jingtao seemed to know just where each piece belonged.

“A person.” Jingtao was piecing together a portrait, but he was working from the bottom up. Without an explanation, there was no way Xiao Qi could have figured it out.

“Is this a person? It doesn’t look like one.” Xiao Li picked up a piece and studied it.

“That’s his self-portrait.” Chu Molin glanced over and explained.

It was something Qin Xue had ordered before the New Year. After the holiday, she had picked them up – one for each child.

“This is a clever idea. Who thought of it? It’s genius. If these were made and sold, they’d be a big hit.” Xiao Qi saw a new opportunity. It was a pity he worked in construction. Otherwise, these ideas could earn him quite a bit of money.

“That was Xue’er’s idea. She has many. She just doesn’t put them into action.” Chu Molin felt that Qin Xue’s mind was a treasure trove, full of brilliant ideas. However, she was a bit lazy to realize them, and he didn’t want her to tire herself out.

“If sister-in-law has any good ideas, I can collaborate with her. She can supply the ideas, and I can supply the manpower.” Xiao Qi thought it was a waste not to implement such great ideas. His existing business was going well, so he could consider taking on another project. He had several talented personnel at his disposal.

“That’s something you need to ask her about. There are certain things that only she knows how to arrange.” Chu Molin knew a lot about Qin Xue’s plans, but he never interfered. So, if Xiao Qi wanted to partner with her, he would have to discuss it with her personally.

“Alright, I’ll ask sister-in-law later. But, you still haven’t told me what happened today.” Xiao Qi had initially thought something was off, but after seeing the serious expressions on everyone’s faces, he was sure something had happened.

“Nothing much, how was your day?” Chu Molin was rarely interested in gossip.

“As usual.” Xiao Qi had gone to invite people to eat at the boss’s house today, so he didn’t do much else.

“So stupid.” Chu Molin didn’t even want to talk to him. He should either adopt a slow and steady approach, like boiling a frog in warm water, or launch a powerful offensive. If the latter method succeeded, great; if not, he should try another approach. A living, breathing human was unlikely to be killed by urinary retention, right?

Xiao Qi was quite peeved by Chu Molin’s two words. He had never had a crush on a girl before, so he had no idea how to court one.
