Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2782: Chapter 2780: What Is the Most Terrifying Thing

Feeling that neither Qin Xue nor her husband wanted to be with her, Su Han had no choice but to go buy alcohol by herself. The days ahead were long; she would have her chance.

Su Han thought there was no hurry, but what she didn’t know was that this Qin Xue was not the same person as before, and wouldn’t follow her intentions.

”Xue’er, are you tired? Do you want to find a place to sit and rest?” Chu Molin looked at Qin Xue; the bothersome woman finally left, having made his wife stand for so long, which was truly infuriating.

Chu Molin couldn’t understand why he felt this way, but seeing Su Han always stirred a sense of anger within him.

If Qin Xue hadn’t been constantly talking to her and subtly signaling him, he would have erupted in fury.

This emotion wasn’t just within him; he noticed his wife felt it too, so he was trying hard to regulate his mood shifts, not wanting to reveal his emotions.

It must be said, they were both quite astute. If they didn’t want it revealed, no one could detect anything different about them.

They were no longer the kind of people who didn’t know how to protect themselves. If they didn’t want something known, no one could discover even a hint.

”No need, I’m fine. Let’s continue our walk and not let irrelevant people affect us.” Qin Xue was well acquainted with Chu Molin, and of course she knew he was angry, but it really wasn’t necessary.

The reason Su Han acted this way was to provoke her thoughts, but only Su Han knew what those thoughts were.

As Qin Xue responded to Chu Molin, she discreetly glanced in the direction of the shop.

Su Han, who exactly are you? Do you know the previous Qin Xue?

If that were the case, her warmth and affection would be understandable. But why didn’t she just admit it directly and instead gave off an impression of wanting to refuse yet accept?

Although the use of this phrase feels a bit inappropriate, the fact remains that this is exactly how Su Han made her feel, which is why Qin Xue found it odd.

She hadn’t expected Chu Molin to be so direct, and remembering Su Han’s stunned expression, Qin Xue couldn’t help but feel like laughing.

But that woman’s psychological resilience was truly formidable. Faced with this awkward scene, she remained so composed—a frightening adversary.

Indeed, Qin Xue viewed her as a rival. She couldn’t believe that someone she had only met a few times could behave this way; there must be something she didn’t know, and now, she wanted to uncover that hidden matter.

”Okay.” Chu Molin walked slowly with Qin Xue’s hand, observing the quiet under the night sky, unsure whether this was a peaceful tranquility or the calm before the storm.

Confronted with this phenomenon, Chu Molin didn’t say much, lest it cause Qin Xue to worry or overthink.

But he didn’t think this result was necessarily good or bad.

Instead, he considered how, should anything really happen, he would surely shield his wife.

This was the responsibility he should have as a man, as a husband.

”Chu Molin, what do you think is the most terrifying thing in this world?” Qin Xue gazed into the distance and then turned to ask Chu Molin.

”The human heart.” Chu Molin replied to Qin Xue’s question without a second thought.

”Indeed, the human heart is insatiable like a serpent swallowing an elephant. People’s desires are boundless, but I think that’s not the most terrifying thing. The scariest thing is one’s inner demons. Once greed takes hold, you become the devil itself. So I believe that as long as you’re content, nothing can affect you. What do you think?” Qin Xue believed that only by conquering one’s own heart can one be the strongest.
