Chapter 678: 672
“Ah!” Qin Xue was startled, about to ask what was wrong but got blocked by him.
“Chu Molin, stop fooling around!” When Qin Xue realized something was amiss, she urged him to stop.
“Why?” Chu Molin asked, puzzled.
“You need to go to school now.” Qin Xue panted as she spoke. Damn it.
“Damn it.” Chu Molin really didn’t want to hear about school now. That meant the tasty treat was slipping away.
“Hehe.” Qin Xue leaned closer to his ear and whispered a secret into it.
“You said it; don’t go back on your word later.” Chu Molin adjusted his mood.
“I won’t.” Qin Xue let go of him and prepared to leave, but Chu Molin stopped her.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Xue asked, puzzled.
Chu Molin gave a charming smile, lowered his head, and pecked his wife’s forehead, “Stay at home and take care of the children. Take care of yourself too. I’m off to school now.”
After saying that, Chu Molin let go of her, took a few deep breaths, grabbed the food Qin Xue had prepared for him from the kitchen, and locked the door. He then took a few steps back, ran up to the wall, jumped over it, and headed towards the school. He was really running late.
Qin Xue still stood there, motionless. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to move, but she felt weak and feared she would fall if she did.
After a while, she took a deep breath. It would be another week before they could see each other again. Shaking her head, there was nothing she could do about it.
Returning to the bedside, she found both children asleep. They were so well-behaved.
If Yu Ze knew what his mother was thinking, he would surely say: How could they not be well-behaved? Their parents were always showing off their love in front of them; didn’t they consider his feelings?
Unfortunately, no one knew his thoughts, so in the future, he would often have to use this way of sleeping to escape his parents’ displays of affection.
Months later, when he finally started talking, his first words were asking to have separate rooms with his little brother and his parents. Chu Molin was delighted, but Qin Xue lamented that her son didn’t want her as his mother anymore.
Yu Ze rolled his eyes at Qin Xue, took his brother, and just walked away. Qin Xue was left in confusion, not understanding what had happened.
Qin Xue thought since she had slept a lot, she didn’t want to sleep again now. So she let Xue Ling out to watch the children while she went into her space to work on her medicinal herbs.
“Master, you’re full of springtime thoughts.” Xue Ling said upon seeing Qin Xue.
“What springtime thoughts? You’re just a kid; what do you know? Go and watch the children.” Qin Xue patted her head.
“Fine, I can’t afford to offend you. I’ll just go and watch them then.” Xue Ling said as she made her way towards the children, leaving Qin Xue alone, feeling as if she was in disarray.
What was this kid talking about? Alright, she admitted that Chu Molin had affected her, but it didn’t have to make her angry all the time, right? Qin Xue lamented as she blamed that bad man for her plight.
Casting aside her thoughts, Qin Xue entered her space and focused on her medicinal herbs, immersing herself in her work. Everything else was like passing clouds; enjoy them when they are here, let go when they are gone.
If Chu Molin knew Qin Xue was thinking like this, would he spit blood? Eventually, he arrived at school just in time, not a moment late.
