Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2099: Chapter 2093: Sensitive Heart

”There’s nothing strange about it, no matter who your biological father is, you’re my wife. That’s all I need to know.” When Chu Molin first heard it, he paused for a moment, but as Qin Xue finished speaking, he knew she wasn’t someone fragile; she wouldn’t be that weak.

”Did you know from the start?” Qin Xue looked up at him, then leaned against his shoulder, asking.

”Yes.” Chu Molin didn’t hide it.

”Then why didn’t you ask?” Qin Xue knew that someone as smart as him would have figured out so many clues. If he pretended not to understand even this, she’d doubt whether he was playing dumb on purpose.

”What difference does asking make? Not asking either? You are you, and they are them. Your home is in the Qin family village and has no connection with the Qins here. Wouldn’t asking just make you sad? There’s no need for that.” Chu Molin didn’t rely on the Qins’ connections, so why bother mentioning it?

If his wife wanted to acknowledge them, he’d go along with her; if she didn’t want to, he’d follow her lead. Life wouldn’t be much different than it is now, would it? Overthinking would only make oneself feel bad.

”That’s easy to say, but when an average person discovers such things, wouldn’t they be curious? But I saw you didn’t show any signs. Why is that?” This was what Qin Xue couldn’t understand.

”Because Qin Lang has investigated everything about you guys, and I knew the results early on. What’s there to be surprised about? As long as you’re well and the people you care about are well, that’s all that matters. Others are merely external titles. Everything depends on whether you want to acknowledge them or not. Regardless of the outcome, I support you, so it makes no difference to me.” Chu Molin is capable, and his godfather is Ye Xiao. What dependence does he need on others? He neither feels disdain nor requires it, so what is there to care about, to butter up?

”How has someone as straightforward as you managed till now?” Qin Xue laughed after listening. So that’s how this man thinks; she worried for nothing all this time. She should have talked to him sooner, so she wouldn’t drag it out until now to ask.

”Just day by day.” How did Chu Molin get by? Certainly through various struggles and climbs, but he didn’t need to tell his wife that.

”Haha, if Xiao Yu gets into Imperial Capital, this matter might not stay hidden for long. Actually, that person has approached me and said a lot, but I don’t want to acknowledge him. So I didn’t tell you, nor did I mention it to mom and them.” Qin Xue finally told Chu Molin that Qin Huaihe had approached her.

”Ignore him. Their family is their family, our family is ours. We, as the younger generation, shouldn’t comment on affairs of the elder generation. But we can choose the life we want to live, right?” Chu Molin reached out and gently stroked her head, thinking she was a silly girl. Why didn’t she talk to him about it? Instead, she kept it buried in her heart, bearing it alone. Poor thing.

”You’re right; that’s exactly what I think.” If it weren’t for the thought that her brother Qin Yu might be coming to Imperial Capital, Qin Xue wouldn’t have mentioned it either. After all, she wanted a strategy so she could explain things better to her brother. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know what to say when it happened.

She looks like her mother, and that lady named Cao Rui wouldn’t know who she was without recognizing her mother. But Xiao Yu looks so much like his father, Qin Huaihe—practically like they were carved from the same mold. Such obvious resemblance makes it impossible for anyone to believe there’s no relation. When everything inevitably comes to light, if she speaks up then she’d be in a passive position.

After all, she’s met Qin Huaihe, and her brother looks so much like him. Claiming she doesn’t know or suspect anything wouldn’t be believable. So Qin Xue had to come up with a reason acceptable to all first.
