Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1992: Chapter 1986: Neither Competing nor Fighting

”When you say it like that, it really seems to be the case.” Chu Molin moved his gaze from the book to his wife. With her explanation, he also felt that Xiao Qi was in trouble now.

”It’s not ’seems like’ — it is the fact, just like that. I know Yingying well. She never fights for anything because she has said that what’s hers will be hers and she doesn’t need to fight for it. If it’s not hers, she can’t force it. So her mindset is like this, and she won’t say anything more, everything just follows along.” Qin Xue was eager to make Chu Molin believe her words.

Because in the previous life, Dongfang Shuo was also like this. At that time, Nangong Beiying only left after seeing him with other women, and now she left without even saying goodbye. It’s imaginable what really happened.

”According to what you said, I also feel that the situation here isn’t simple.” Chu Molin agreed with Qin Xue’s perspective. Since he knew Nangong Beiying, her temperament was really too cold, and her coldness was different from his own. He could show very clearly and cherish the ones he cared about, but Nangong Beiying seemed to have no one who could touch her heart. No, that’s not right — he had seen Nangong Beiying being different towards Qin Xue and Qing Zhu, so she did have emotions, just too indifferent.

And now, she doesn’t have feelings for Xiao Qi to begin with, so if anything else happens, the outcome is really unimaginable.

If that’s the case, he wondered whom to blame.

”Actually, it’s not complicated. Yingying just doesn’t want to be a third party. That’s all.” Qin Xue wondered what Chu Molin was thinking because, from her perspective, what was complicated about this? With Yingying’s personality, she’d rather stay single than fight another woman for a man. Wanting her to be jealous is rather hard.

”Quite a rational person.” Chu Molin nodded, indeed, that’s very true.

Still, no matter what, leaving without saying anything seemed a bit cowardly. Besides, she is pregnant with their third child, and all in all, he felt Nangong Beiying might be feeling some inferiority.

Why say so? Chu Molin thought, because if she wasn’t afraid of losing face by failing against others, she could have asked loudly, directly asking Xiao Qi whom he wanted to be with, and why he tangled with other women after provoking her.

If she asked, Chu Molin believed Xiao Qi would know what to do, and Nangong Beiying wouldn’t have had to leave, right? In short, it was all pride at work, causing things to end without even trying.

And the matter of feelings is most afraid of this kind of unclear ambiguity, because this cannot withstand the test at all.

”Yes, rational to a frightening degree.” Qin Xue nodded. She agreed with what Chu Molin said because she often felt Nangong Beiying was exactly such a person, otherwise she wouldn’t do everything so well.

”Don’t think too much about it. You’re not her, thinking more is useless.” Chu Molin said, looking at his wife who liked to worry, wishing she would focus more on him, which would make him happy.

”I know, I just couldn’t help but worry for her. Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. How’s work at the new place, are you used to it?” Qin Xue finally shifted her attention from others back to Chu Molin.
