Chapter 114 - 114 Fear
Many men dont enjoy shopping, let alone going to the market to buy groceries.
Dear wife, isnt it expected that I accompany you? Normally, I dont have time because of my work commitments. Isnt it good to spend more time with you when Im off-duty? Chu Molin thought, how else could they strengthen their bond?
Okay, why shouldnt I take advantage of having free labor, Qin Xue chuckled, looking at Chu Molin.
Hmm, thats right. Now that you have me, your humble laborer, here, why dont you buy whatever else you need so 1 can carry it for you. Otherwise, when Im not available to accompany you later, you might find it hard to carry your purchases. Chu Molin looked at his wifes slender arms and legs.
Nah, no need to buy anything now. Theres nothing much I need to buy for the time being. We can come back when necessary, Qin Xue said after some thought.
Alright then, lets wait for our ride home without worry. Chu Molin glanced at his wristwatch. It was already four oclock.
They could start cooking dinner as soon as they got home. Looking at his
wifes bare, slender wrist, he made a mental note to buy her a watch.
When their bus arrived, the couple found seats at the back. Chu Molin scanned the bus and its passengers as though he had X-ray vision.
Looking over at his wife sitting calmly beside him, one could scarcely imagine their harmonious interactions in these moments.
l wonder how An Haos doing? Qin Xue muttered, her gaze following the scenery fluttering past outside the window.
Dont worry about it. Zhaozi may seem unreliable on the surface, but hes a good guy. Otherwise, do you think Xiao Qi, who dotes on An Hao so much, would let his sister marry him? Chu Molin reassured her, pondering their seemingly rogue-ish group of friends.
While they might look tough, but underneath they were all, softies. After all, no one raised in a big family was straightforward.
Hmm, thats true. Its clear they all dote on An Hao. How nice it is to be cherished like that, Qin Xue murmured wistfully, her thoughts drifting off somewhere as she stared blankly out the window.
Chu Molin panicked slightly. There it was again, that distant air about his wife.
His hand immediately clasped her smaller one, only letting out a sigh of relief after feeling the warmth in his palm. She was still present, thank goodness.
The sudden handholding startled Qin Xue, and she turned to find a panicky Chu Molin. Her expression was one of confusion.
What happened? His reaction puzzled her. Chu Molin, whats the matter? Xueer, please dont leave me, Chu Molin pleaded, gazing at his wife,
Chu Molin, have you gone mad? When did I ever say I was going to leave you? Qin Xue chuckled, finding the man amusing.
l dont care! No matter when, no matter what happens, you cant leave me! The fear in the mans eyes left Qin Xue frazzled.
Okay, I promise you. I will never leave you, Qin Xue agreed as she thought about the accolades others showered on this man.bender
He was said to be highly talented, an outstanding researcher every year, a decisive problem-solver who untangled numerous difficult matters.
It was said that there hadnt been a single failure among the tasks hed undertaken so far, which spoke volumes about his capabilities.
However, hearing this only evoked sympathy in Qin Xue. Behind his strength and achievements were untold efforts and hardships.
And now, this strong man was gripping her hand, asking her not to leave him.
The fear was so evident in his eyes, and in that moment, Qin Xue realized that this man wasnt as tough as he appeared to be.
At the very least, he was afraid of her leaving him. Perhaps everyone has something they fear losing. Just like how she didnt want her mother to leave her.
Qin Xue felt lucky that such an outstanding man had fallen in love with her in such a short time.
Qin Xue felt blessed. She was loved by her mother and grandparents in the past, cherished by Chu Molin now, and they would have their children to love in the future. She was content..
