Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2062: Chapter 2056: Did I Say Something Wrong?

”Alright, stop talking. Let’s just do what needs to be done. Yingying will come back when she’s ready. There’s no point in worrying. Maybe we should focus on getting the store renovations sorted first.” Qin Xue thought that since none of them were Nangong Beiying, they wouldn’t know when she’d figure things out, so there was no point in continuing the discussion.

”Exactly, Qiqi, Yingying is such a smart girl. I believe she knows you’re a good man.” An Hao chimed in.

”Right.” Li Zhao looked at Xiao Qi with some dissatisfaction. His wife had never praised him as a good man, but she always seemed to compliment Xiao Qi.

Even with some issues still between him and his wife, he couldn’t voice his displeasure.

He could only give Xiao Qi a look, hoping he’d get the hint. But Xiao Qi was too caught up in his own worries to care about what Li Zhao was thinking.

In the end, Li Zhao could only sulk silently while the others began discussing the shop’s renovation.

Chu Molin casually threw a comment at Li Zhao, ”Why are you jealous when things aren’t even settled yet.”

”Boss, why are you saying that too?” Li Zhao had just been stewing in silence, but Chu Molin’s words really hit him hard. Doesn’t he realize how much his heart aches? Why treat him like this, boss? It was truly a deep wound.

”Did I say something wrong?” Chu Molin stood up and stopped paying attention to Li Zhao. That’s what you get for not handling things properly, for dragging your feet.

Li Zhao really wanted to cry. If he’d known it would turn out this way, he wouldn’t have done it even if beaten to death.

But there’s no regret remedy in the world. Even if he knew, what could he do? He’s resigned to his fate, and slowly pacifying his wife was his only option.

Li Zhao comforted himself mentally, while Qin Xue took out the blueprints and discussed the renovation plans with Xiao Qi and the others, then left it at that.

”Qin Xue, are you guys heading back?” An Hao looked over at Qin Xue, her husband, and Qing Zhu.

”Yes, the kids are still back at the store. Who knows if they’ve run off. Dongfang Li, being heavily pregnant, is watching them, so I need to go check. I’ll be at home all the time, so you can come find me when you’re free.” Nowadays, Qin Xue had plenty of free time. Her doctor’s job was just a formality, without any major surgeries, she didn’t need to work much.

”Alright then. I wanted you guys to stay for dinner, but I guess next time. I’ll definitely treat you to a meal.” An Hao wanted to keep them for a meal, but hearing Qin Xue, she didn’t push it. Besides, her mood hadn’t been great lately, so she thought it’d be better to reschedule.

”There’s always time to eat. Just let me know in advance when you’re free, and come to my place. It’s spacious.” Qin Xue thought it was just a minor issue, so anytime would work.

”Okay.” An Hao nodded in agreement.

Her mood improved, so she took Qin Xue’s words to heart.

”Let’s go.” Chu Molin finally spoke up after they finished talking.

”Alright.” Qin Xue turned and smiled at Chu Molin, and the three walked side by side.

Qing Zhu felt like a third wheel between the two of them. They weren’t talking, but the atmosphere was filled with pink bubbles, making one sweetly envious.

”I just remembered I have something to do. I’ll go ahead. You guys head back first.” Qing Zhu couldn’t help but slip away in the end.
