Chu Molin cleaned the dishes, while Qin Xue sat in the living room and chatted with her mother and younger brother.

“Sis, are you happy?” Qin Yu asked his sister directly since his brother-in-law was not around.

“l am very happy, very fortunate. Thank you for not objecting to my marriage to Chu Molin, he treats me very well.” Qin Xue answered with a smile of happiness.

“As long as you’re happy. I also approved of Molin’s character back then. Otherwise, even if you guys crossed the line, I wouldn’t have let you marry him.” Nangong Shulan knew very well the price a woman had to pay and the hardships she had to endure in an unhappy marriage.

“Mom, thank you, I missed you so much.” Qin Xue took her mother’s arm and leaned her head on her shoulder.

“You silly girl, you scared the life out of us earlier, we thought Molin was mistreating you.

How can you still be so jittery and impulsive even after becoming a mother?” Nangong Shulan poked her forehead.

“Mom, wasn’t I just too excited to see you? Or would you prefer me not reacting when I see you?” Qin Xue pouted and playfully teased her mother.

“You silly girl, is that what I meant?” Nangong Shulan ‘smacked’ Qin Xue’s head. It looked heavy, but in reality, she didn’t use much force. Nevertheless, Qin Xue rubbed her head and cried out in pain.

“Mom, be gentle. Don’t hurt my sister.” Qin Yu quickly urged his mother when he heard Qin Xue’s cry of pain.

“Oh, you child, it would be good if I did hurt her a bit, but do you really think she’s in pain?” Nangong Shulan gave her elder daughter a scornful look. She didn’t understand why her son would only get nervous when he was dealing with Qin Xue.

“Hehe, mom, 1 just cried out in ‘pain’ so you would feel sorry for me.” Qin Xue gave Qin Yu a ‘thanks for the help’ look.

“You’re welcome.” Qin Yu returned the gesture with a ‘no problem’ look.

Qin Yu only defended Qin Xue because she had hinted at him earlier. The siblings made quite the team.

In all seriousness though, Qin Xue, what are your plans for the future? Discuss it properly with Molin.

Whether you want your mother-in-law to take care of you or if you want Molin to do it.

If it’s really not possible, consider coming back to the village. 1 can take care of you during childbirth.” Nangong Shulan wasn’t too aware of Chu Molin!s family situation.

Previously, these matters were all handled by Qin Lei and Chu Molin. She never questioned Qin Lei about the details afterward.

So now she felt a bit lost and unsure about the current situation.

“Mom, I never thought about going to my in-laws for childbirth. Although Chu Molin has never explicitly spoken about his family’s affairs with me.

I do know there are some disagreements between him and his family.

Since that’s the case, there’s no need for me to add fuel to the fire. I just need someone to take care of me during the confinement period right here. This

way, you won’t be too worried.

As for going back home, won’t that be too hard on you?” Though Qin Xue wanted to be with her mother, she didn’t want to cause her any undue hardships.

“It won’t be hard, as long as Molin agrees.

Don’t worry about the other things, your dad is there at home.

Plus, your grandma can help take care of you as well. I feel more at ease that way.” Nangong Shulan thought that even if nothing else, at least she and her mother-in-law can accompany her eldest daughter.

She didn’t need her mother-in-law to do anything, just supervise Qin Xue to prevent any mishaps. Having experienced the hardships of carrying twins herself, she was understandably worried for her daughter.

“He will agree.” Although Qin Xue didn’t fully understand Chu Molin, she knew him well enough to guess that he wouldn’t object to anything that was in her best interest. What she was more concerned about were matters related to their business.

If she went back to H Province, which was far away, she wouldn’t worry about the designs. She could just mail the completed drafts. The real fear was encountering an emergency..
