Chapter 69 - 69: Dream Haze
Qin Xue’s tears flowed uncontrollably, non-stop.
She cried for her mother, for herself, because what she had seen at her grandparents’ house was due to her father’s wrongdoings against her mother and herself.
Was that why she was disliked by her grandparents and had been driven out of their house?
It turned out that she had been a fool all along.
Why was she so foolish? She was kept in the dark about things even Qin Jing knew.
Qin Xue cried in her dream, tears streaming down from the corners of her eyes.
Chu Molin heard the sobbing as soon as he reached the door.
Scared, he hurriedly opened the door and entered the room to see the dinner prepared on the table.
Qin Xue was lying on the bench, curled up and crying. Her cries were so sad, like that of a wounded animal.
Chu Molin quickly approached Qin Xue and saw her eyes tightly closed, tears streaming down non-stop.
Occasionally she sobbed, and Chu Molin gently patted her back, calling out,
“Xue’er, what’s wrong? Don’t cry, tell me what happened, okay?”
But no matter how Chu Molin called, Qin Xue didn’t respond; she just kept crying in a ball.
It was hard for her with such a large belly to curl up on the bench.
It was uncomfortable for Chu Molin to see this, but he couldn’t put down the keys. He could only hold Qin Xue in his arms.
Qin Xue in his arms did nothing but cry without moving. It was then that Chu Molin realized something was wrong with her.
He thought about her sleeping position earlier with her lips tightly pressed together.
He looked down and thought that her sleeping position was psychologically an indication of extreme insecurity.
Ever since she came back, Chu Molin noticed that she was different from before.
Was it because of the injury, or was there something else that happened?
This time, he was determined to investigate the matter thoroughly and make sure that those who had hurt Qin Xue would be taught a lesson.
Thus, under the unknown circumstance, the tragic end for Bai Jing and Su Yun was determined by the decision the man made.
If Qin Xue was awake at this moment, she would definitely tell Chu Molin that it was a misunderstanding.
Her crying was not because of others, but because she knew how foolish she was in her past life and could not help but cry.
If she told him this, Chu Molin would undoubtedly want to hit his head against a wall.
Chu Molin wondered, “Is Xue’er having a nightmare?”
What kind of dream was it that made her cry like this?
As a grown man, Chu Molin felt heartache seeing Qin Xue in this state, to the point of being unable to breathe and having red eyes.
He held her in one hand while gently patting her back with the other, saying non-stop:
“Xue’er, don’t be afraid, I’m here for you. You’re not alone, okay? Don’t be scared, I’m right by your side! Don’t you remember? We have a child too. So, Xue’er, you’re not alone. Our family will always be together.” He then planted a kiss on her forehead.
Chu Molin wasn’t sure why he felt that Qin Xue would be lonely.
She had her parents, a pair of twin brothers, and a younger sister.
But seeing Qin Xue in this state, the words just came out of his mouth. He repeated these words over and over again.
After an unknown amount of time, perhaps becoming accustomed to Chu Molin’s scent, Qin Xue gradually stopped crying.
She even burrowed deeper into his embrace until she found a comfortable position and finally relaxed her tense brow!
Seeing this, Chu Molin remained silent, relieved that she stopped crying. He touched her brow and eyes, saying, “Sleep well.”
He carried her back to the bed in her room, wanting her to get a good night’s sleep.
However, as soon as he turned around, he found his shirt corner being grabbed.
Looking down, he saw her little hand tightly clenching his shirt.
Chu Molin tried to pry her hand open, but as soon as he moved, she tightened her grip, furrowing her brow.
Feeling helpless, Chu Molin saw a chair by the table and thought of pulling it over to sit down.
But as soon as he moved, so did Qin Xue, which scared him into not daring to move.
He thought about it, took off the keys, and lay down on the bed beside her, accompanying Qin Xue.
Perhaps feeling secure from Chu Molin holding her earlier,
She leaned closer to him after he got onto the bed.
Finally, she let go of his shirt, and her brow relaxed.
There was even a faint smile playing on the corners of her mouth.
Before Chu Molin could even breathe a sigh of relief, he froze when Qin Xue placed her hand on his lower abdomen and encircled his waist.
She seemed unsatisfied and gave a little grunt.
Chu Molin looked down at her, realizing that she was doing all this unconsciously.
Hearing her grunt, he slowly slid down and laid flat..
