Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1940: Chapter 1934: Departure

”Okay, thank you, sister-in-law.” Xiao Qi also knew that it wasn’t very safe to let a woman be outside when it was dark, so after hearing Qin Xue’s words, he didn’t insist on her helping him find someone at that moment.

Tomorrow will do, as long as he can see Nangong Beiying. He hadn’t seen her for so long, yet when he went to find her after her return, she wasn’t there. This made him feel quite uneasy.

”It’s nothing, Yingying lacks a sense of security. If you want to be with her, you’ll have to be more patient to make her feel you’re reliable.” Qin Xue had mentioned this issue to Xiao Qi more than once. Seeing him like this now, she brought it up again, knowing that even if he met Nangong Beiying, there wouldn’t be much progress otherwise.

”I understand. I will work hard to become the person she envisions.” Xiao Qi nodded.

”Xiao Qi, treat Yingying well, otherwise you’ll really regret it later.” Qin Xue really wanted to tell him that Nangong Beiying was expecting a child and not to let her be sad, but remembering Beiying’s previous instruction, Qin Xue swallowed her words.

Yingying wanted to reveal it herself, so Qin Xue couldn’t just take away her prerogative, right? Therefore, seeing Xiao Qi like this, although Qin Xue wanted to say something, she held back.

”Sister-in-law, I will. I’m heading back now. Call me if you find her.” Xiao Qi heard these words from Qin Xue for the second time in two days, and he didn’t quite know how to respond.

He didn’t know what was going on with this, why Qin Xue said this again. Was it because Qin Xue was her close friend or for some other reason? Xiao Qi didn’t know, but deep in his heart, he wanted Nangong Beiying to be happy, so he agreed upon hearing Qin Xue’s words.

”Okay, don’t worry, I’ll let you know once I’ve found her.” At this moment, Qin Xue wasn’t aware that some things had already surpassed her imagination, and no matter how sincerely she promised, it was of no use because by then, it was already too late.

”Alright, I’m leaving.” After obtaining Qin Xue’s promise, Xiao Qi headed out to go home.

He didn’t live far, but thinking about that person who refused to see him was truly getting on his nerves. He really didn’t understand what had happened; everything was fine before, so why did she refuse to see him after returning?

Xiao Qi took out his key to open the door. Looking at the key in his hand, he thought of that night again, and the things he had been dealing with recently were related to that night. It was weighing heavily on him, which is why he wanted to find Nangong Beiying. He desperately wanted to see her, to ask if she was the person from that night, but he couldn’t see her, and this was driving him crazy.

Frustrated, Xiao Qi opened the door, went inside, closed the door, and walked to the living room, where he sat on the sofa and picked up a cigarette from the table, lighting it up. He didn’t smoke, but recently there had been too many worries on his mind, and he couldn’t calm down, so he could only use cigarettes to numb himself.

He had gone from initially not knowing how to smoke to lighting a cigarette whenever he had a moment free; even he thought he had become addicted to it.

He wanted that woman to tell him she was the one from that night, and then all his worries would disappear.

But Yingying, where are you? Why don’t you want to see me? Can we face whatever the issue is and talk it through, please?

No matter how much Xiao Qi thought or questioned himself there, Nangong Beiying couldn’t hear it because she had already left there, left the Imperial Capital.
