Chapter 62 - 62: Confused Qin Xue
Everyone happily enjoyed their meal and drinks.
Qin Xue poured half a bowl of wine for Fang Hong and Yu Xiu and a little for herself, but Chu Molin took it away as soon as she picked it up.
Qin Xue blinked and asked why he took her wine.
Chu Molin looked at her big belly and replied silently with his eyes, you can’t drink when you’re pregnant.
He tilted his head back and drank the wine in Qin Xue’s bowl in one gulp.
Qin Xue’s face turned bright red. That was the bowl she had just used for her soup, and now Chu Molin had drunk her wine, it was really embarrassing.
The others couldn’t help but lower their heads, their shoulders shaking with laughter.
Qin Xue’s face turned even redder, and she couldn’t help but glare at Chu Molin before taking her bowl, filling it with half a bowl of rice, and eating quietly.
Chu Molin wanted to laugh at Qin Xue’s reddened face, which looked like a red apple.
Chu Molin picked up his own bowl of wine: “Two chiefs, Da Bao, let’s drink.”
Qin Xue finished her bowl of rice and wanted to eat some buns, but she was almost full and couldn’t finish one. However, she also craved them.
She glanced around and eventually decided not to eat one. As she put down her chopsticks and was about to leave the table, a half-eaten bun with meat filling appeared in front of her.
Qin Xue followed the hand holding the bun to see Chu Molin holding half a bun in one hand and eating the other half with his other hand.
Since Qin Xue didn’t take it, Chu Molin shook the bun in his hand. Red-faced, she accepted it: this man was full of surprises today, making her think the sun was going to rise from the west.
Seeing Qin Xue take the bun, Chu Molin was happy, with a hint of a smile on his lips.
Li Dabao lowered his head and ate his vegetables quickly upon seeing this, while Xie Jun and Xu Fangzhou exchanged knowing glances.
Fang Hong and Yu Xiu were busy taking care of the kids and didn’t notice.
After finishing the bun, Qin Xue left the table, and Fang Hong and Yu Xiu also finished eating and waited for the kids to finish.
Once the kids finished eating, they took them back for their nighttime routine, leaving the men to continue drinking slowly.
Qin Xue told Chu Molin she was going back to her room and closed the door.
Qin Xue knew they wouldn’t be done for a while, so she went into the space, took a shower, put on a black lace nightgown, and leaned on the bed to read. Listening to the sound of them drinking and talking outside, Qin Xue’s eyes narrowed, and she soon fell asleep.
She didn’t know how long she had slept when she woke up with a stiff neck. Glancing at the time, it was past midnight. She rubbed her eyes and half-closed them as she went to the bathroom.
She completely forgot there was an extra person in the house and wore her nightgown without even putting on a coat. Besides, Qin Xue hadn’t seen anyone wear such clothes in her past life.
People wore bikinis all the time there, and she didn’t remember the current era where people couldn’t wear revealing clothes. She was used to being alone.
Qin Xue was fine, but Chu Molin suffered. The men drank until 10:30, and after taking care of the tipsy guests and doing the dishes, he cleaned up everything by 11:00.
He took a shower to wake himself up and planned to write a training plan, but he had a headache. As he was dozing off, he heard a noise in the next room and sat up to check it out.
Peeping through the crack of the door, he saw Qin Xue squinting as she walked. Worried, he opened the door to see what was going on. Well, he shouldn’t have come out. What did he see?
Qin Xue was wearing a black lace nightgown that reached just below her knees, and she was walking towards the bathroom with her eyes still closed.
Chu Molin felt a rush of heat in his nose and quickly raised his head, pinching his nose as he retreated into his room, slamming the door shut.
The sound of the door closing startled the sleepwalking Qin Xue, who opened her eyes and glanced back before swearing at the closed door, calling him a pervert or a rogue.
She rushed into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror, whining about her predicament.
Why did she have to appear in front of Chu Molin like this? Habits can kill people. Being alone at home, she wore whatever she wanted and didn’t even remember this was the 1980s.
She was used to wearing such clothes and wanted to change into something else after coming out of the space tonight. However, she fell asleep while reading, exhausted from the day.
Now, how would Chu Molin see her? When would she learn to be more alert?
