Chapter 137 - 137: Reading a Book
Qin Xue heard the door open and looked up, thinking that the man had already returned to his room to rest.
“Xue’er, why aren’t you resting yet?” Chu Molin noticed that it was already past nine o’clock.
“Oh, it’s too early. I can’t sleep, so I’m reading a book before bed.” Qin Xue rarely went to bed this early.
“So you can’t sleep. I thought you were waiting for me.” Chu Molin picked up a military book from the table and continued reading from where he left off yesterday.
Qin Xue didn’t respond, thinking it was better to read more than to chit-chat with him.
Qin Xue read until half-past ten before she put the book down on the table, washed up in the restroom, and returned to her room to see him still sitting and reading.
“I’m going to rest now. Don’t stay up too late either.” Qin Xue thought about it and decided to remind him.
“Alright, I’ll sleep too. My wife has spoken. I’ll join her in bed.” Chu Molin closed the book and undressed to get into bed.
He had already brushed his teeth while showering earlier, so he didn’t need to wash up again before going to bed.
“You’re really hopeless.” Qin Xue looked at his shameless demeanor and scooted over for him.
“Mmm, I’ve already been poisoned by my wife. Only my wife can save me.” Chu Molin stretched out his arm and pulled his little wife into his embrace.
Without being polite, Qin Xue found a comfortable position and went to sleep.
After a while, Chu Molin noticed that Qin Xue was still tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
“Xue’er, what’s wrong? Can’t sleep?”
“It’s not that I can’t sleep, but my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable.” Qin Xue felt restless no matter how she positioned herself.
“What’s wrong with your stomach? Are the babies too restless?” Chu Molin gently caressed Qin Xue’s pregnant belly with his hand.
“Yeah, they’re moving too much.” The larger the babies grew, the more they moved. She had two, so it was quite a commotion.
Chu Molin felt very distressed. At only five or six months, the babies were already causing his little wife to lose sleep. What would they do when they grow even bigger?
“Babies, please be good and don’t disturb your mom when she’s sleeping, alright?” His cold voice, softened by tenderness, didn’t feel out of place at all. “Chu Molin, can you sing a song for me?” Qin Xue suddenly wanted to hear what he sounded like singing.
Uh, he could only sing military songs.
“Xue’er, I can’t sing.” Chu Molin thought about it and then spoke.
“Is it that you can’t sing, or that you don’t know what song to sing?” Qin Xue looked up at him.
“I can sing military songs, but do you really want to hear them?” Chu Molin tried to find a way out, but had never sung a song except when necessary.
“I want to listen. What an honor to hear our Mr. Chu singing.” Qin Xue smiled.
“Xue’er, you’re being mischievous again.” Chu Molin looked at Qin Xue.
A mellow and deep voice poured out from his thin lips, singing “I’m a Soldier” above Qin Xue’s head.
His voice was really good. It was so enticing that it could make one’s ears pregnant.
Qin Xue slowly drifted to sleep amidst the singing.
Mr. Chu finished singing the song, looked down to see no reaction from the person in his arms, and chuckled. She had fallen asleep. He shook his head and placed a kiss on her forehead.
He adjusted his position, held his little wife, and went to sleep as well.
Qin Xue woke up twice that night, each time Chu Molin turned on the light for her.
Seeing that Qin Xue didn’t sleep much that night, he thought it would be best for her just to give birth to this set of babies and not have any more in the future.
Our handsome Chu Molin didn’t even know that family planning was starting. They could only have one child, and even if he wanted another, they couldn’t have more.
Unless they had one this year and another next year. But even if Qin Xue were willing to give birth, she wouldn’t have them so close together. So, it was fortunate that they would have two in one pregnancy..
