Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1772: Chapter 1766: A Cross-Dresser?

Chu Molin did not miss the look in his wife’s eyes. How could this woman be so different from others? She actually liked the way he looked just now—neither human nor ghost.

Indeed, Chu Molin disliked that version of himself. He thought it was far from masculine. That appearance was something he had adopted as part of a mission from his past when he needed to go undercover. It was a disguise he had no choice but to take on.

Thinking back, that disguise was probably the most embarrassing stain in his life, because it truly went against the heroic image he had cultivated.

For that assignment, he had to pose as a trusted lieutenant to a powerful drug lord. The very idea drove him to the brink of going insane, as the man was incredibly shrewd—most people wouldn’t stand a chance of deceiving him.

Ultimately, his superiors decided he was the best candidate for the role. With a mindset of “If not me, then who?”, Chu Molin accepted the mission. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t fully master the flamboyant mannerisms required for that guise. The result of his efforts was precisely what Qin Xue had witnessed just now.

Ironically, this distorted version of what he was supposed to learn had proved to be far more convincing. Later, when that drug lord attempted to orchestrate a major operation, Chu Molin gathered evidence and brought him down.

The drug lord was shot through the heart while fleeing and died. Before his death, he said he hadn’t expected to lose to someone he had trusted so much. Then, with a bitter laugh, he added that losing to someone as formidable as Chu Molin wasn’t such a disgrace after all.

But it was his last words that made Chu Molin even colder. The drug lord said that he had simply trusted the wrong person—otherwise, did Chu Molin really think it would have been so easy to annihilate his entire organization?

At that moment, Chu Molin felt nothing but cold indifference. He thought, what a twisted man. Someone so intelligent could have achieved great success on the right path. But unfortunately, he had chosen the wrong road.

Chu Molin had always believed himself to be a heartless man. But after meeting Qin Xue, he realized that these were just ordinary episodes in his life.

What’s gone is gone, and because of that, his heart was at peace.

Yet just now, looking at Qin Xue, he had inexplicably allowed that side of himself to emerge. Perhaps deep down, it was still a thorn in his heart.

He wanted to see whether Qin Xue would reject that version of him. But the outcome turned out to be completely unexpected—his wife had a completely different reaction toward him. He wasn’t sure if he should laugh or cry about it.

“Chu Molin, what’s gotten into you again?” Qin Xue glanced sarcastically at the man towering over her.

“I’m carrying you inside.” As soon as Chu Molin finished speaking, Qin Xue found herself standing in the bathroom.

“Alright, Chu Molin, you can leave now. Thank you,” Qin Xue said, looking at the meticulous man.

“Okay,” Chu Molin answered and exited.

“Sis, are you up yet?” Early the next morning, just as Qin Xue had woken and sat up, her sister’s voice called from outside the door.

“I’m up. Wait a moment, I’m changing clothes,” Qin Xue replied. After speaking, she entered her space to freshen up, quickly did her skincare and applied sunscreen. Looking in the mirror, she saw her complexion had brightened significantly once again. Otherwise, she would’ve started doubting whether the Spirit Spring really worked.

Qin Xue carefully folded her pajamas and placed them by her pillow. Then she tidied up the blanket on her bed before opening the door to head out.
