Chapter 328

Chu Molin knew that once some truths were uncovered, their peaceful lives would cease to exist.

So, he would rather deceive himself and pretend not to know, rather than reveal the truth by himself.

Sometimes he found himself ridiculous, not expecting that he, Chu Molin, would have his head-in-the-sand moments too.

“Molin, I understand. I will handle this matter rationally.” Qin Lang only remembered then that this was related to Chu Molin’s family affairs.

“Mm.” Chu Molin responded lightly.

“What are you guys talking about? Did something happen?” Qin Xue could sense something off between them as soon as she entered the door.

“No, Qin Xue is back.” Qin Lang straightened his face and said with a smile.

“Xue’er, mom, you’re back.” Chu Molin managed to adjust his mood before speaking.

“Yeah, guess what I bought?” Qin Xue asked Chu Molin with a mysterious tone.

“What did you buy?” Chu Molin played along with Qin Xue.

“Ta-da.” Qin Xue handed the jar of wine to Chu Molin.

Chu Molin held the wine jar and smelled the rich peach blossom fragrance, raising his eyebrows at Qin Xue with a teasing smile.

Qin Xue looked a bit unnatural as she looked at Chu Molin.

She knew she couldn’t deceive this shrewd man.

Actually, she didn’t buy this wine; instead, she secretly took it from her space.

Noticing that Chu Molin’s wound had almost healed, she wanted to use the wine from her space to help him recuperate.

The wine, nourished by the spiritual energy in her space, had become exquisite.

Xiao Yu had been training so hard these days that Qin Xue wanted to help improve his physical condition as well.

However, since her mother and Xiao Yu were around, she couldn’t just take it out. So, she pretended to buy it when they went to the county town.

Her mother had never tasted the wine and wouldn’t know what was going on, but Chu Molin had tasted it before. How could she deceive him?

Chu Molin looked at Qin Xue’s guilty expression and couldn’t bring himself to scold her. But, someone would eventually recognize the wine if she kept casually taking it out like this.

Anyone could find out with a simple inquiry, so it was impossible to keep it a secret.

What should he do with such an innocent and crisis-unaware wife?

Chu Molin pinched the bridge of his nose, his brow furrowed.

Seeing him like this, Qin Xue inwardly cried out, fearing that he was angry.

“Chu Molin, didn’t I see that your wound is nearly healed?

I was just happy that Mom and Xiao Yu were here, so I wanted to buy some wine to celebrate. I promise I won’t do it again, okay?” Qin Xue tried to appease Chu Molin like a sycophant.

Looking at her ingratiating expression, Chu Molin couldn’t be angry anymore.

With such a worrisome wife, what could he do other than be ready to handle the aftermath at any time?

“This is the last time. Remember what you promised me. Did you hear me?” Chu Molin’s calm voice didn’t show any signs of anger.

However, the calmer he was, the angrier Qin Xue knew he must be.

“Mhm, I promise I won’t do it again.” Qin Xue raised three fingers and said to Chu Molin.

“What are you guys talking about? I don’t understand.” Qin Lang curiously looked at them, puzzled by their conversation.

“None of your business.” The couple responded in unison.

“Alright, husband and wife united. I can’t afford to mess with you.” Qin Lang awkwardly scratched his nose and said.

“Hehe, Molin, here’s another jar. Xue really doesn’t know any better.” Nangong Shulan thought Chu Molin was mad at Qin Xue for spending money on wine.

“Mom, it’s okay. I’ll carry it.” Chu Molin knew that his mother-in-law was mistaken, but he didn’t clarify.

There was no way to explain this. Chu Molin took the other jar of wine and put it away in their room.

“Auntie, hello.” Qin Lang smiled and greeted Nangong Shulan, who looked similar to Qin Xue.

“Young man, hello.” Nangong Shulan smiled back.

“What are you doing at my house?” For some unknown reason, ever since Chu Molin had been injured, Qin Xue became inexplicably annoyed whenever she saw Qin Lang.
