By the time Qin Xue was ready, it was almost eleven o’clock. Fortunately, they had a designated car, and the research institute’s vehicle took them to the city, before they headed on their way with Xiao Qi.
“Chu Molin, I’m going to call Fang Hong to see if there’s anything inside that she can use.” Qin Xue’s legs were trembling as she walked and only improved after a few steps.
“Go ahead, I’ll watch the kids.” Chu Molin agreed with a nod.
Qin Xue went out to call Fang Hong, while Chu Molin looked at the two children lying on the bed, their big eyes wide open, staring around curiously.
Chu Molin chuckled and moved the two children further in.
The baby crib could be folded, and Qin Xue put it in the space. Chu Molin knew she had a secret, and he had never mentioned it, so Qin Xue started using it semi-privately.
As for those luggage items that weren’t put in, they were for show.
“Knock, knock, knock.” Qin Xue knocked on Fang Hong’s door.
“Qin Xue, aren’t you guys going to the Imperial Capital today? Why haven’t you left yet?” Fang Hong thought they would have left early.
“Hehe, we’re leaving soon. We have some stuff that we can’t move. If you don’t mind, you can take a look and see if there’s anything you need.” Qin Xue said with a somewhat embarrassed smile. Could it be that she had to tell Fang Hong that they hadn’t left yet because of their indulgence?
She didn’t want to, it would be too embarrassing. What would Fang Hong think of her then?
“Oh, why not? There’s nothing to mind about.” Fang Hong figured much of their stuff came from various people. If she were to be picky, where would she get the money to buy everything?
“Alright, then you go over. We’ll be leaving soon.” Qin Xue had wanted to call Fang Hong yesterday, but she was working, so she decided to try her luck this morning.
Unexpectedly, she really found Fang Hong at home.
“Alright, I’ll come with you now.” Fang Hong turned around to get her keys. Although the two families were on the same floor and very close.
However, they were afraid that sometimes they might accidentally close the door and be unable to open it, so they had to take the keys when they went out.
In the end, Fang Hong picked out what she needed, leaving behind some of the things she already had. Qin Xue put the remaining items together, so if a new resident moved in and needed them, they could use them. If they didn’t want to, the most that would happen is that someone would have to throw them away.
Qin Xue and Chu Molin each carried a child and went downstairs.
Originally, Chu Molin wanted to carry both children in one arm, but Qin Xue didn’t let him, so they carried one child each.
“Deputy Chief Chu, Sister-in-law.” Li Da Bao was waiting in the car. When he saw them coming down, he hurriedly got out of the car to greet them.
That was the rule around here, with higher-ups being able to enjoy such treatment from their subordinates at any time and place.
“Da Bao, thank you for all your hard work.” Qin Xue smiled and greeted Li Da Bao.
“Sister-in-law, you’re too kind. This is my duty.” Li Da Bao showed his silly smile again.
“Hehe.” Qin Xue thought Li Da Bao was just too cute.
“Let’s go.” Chu Molin opened the car door for Qin Xue and the children.
“Alright.” Qin Xue smiled back at her husband.
On the way to the city, Li Da Bao kept glancing at the rearview mirror, hesitating whether to speak up.
“If you have something to say, just say it.” Chu Molin’s cold voice sounded.
“Deputy Chief Chu, I’m really reluctant to see you go.” Li Da Bao gritted his teeth and said what he wanted to say.
“If you’re reluctant, then work hard and climb up the ladder. Strive to request a transfer as soon as possible.” Chu Molin looked at Li Da Bao, who had been following him since he joined the research institute, and coldly spat out a sentence.
“Yes, Deputy Chief Chu, I will work hard and never disappoint you.” Li Da Bao did not get angry at Chu Molin’s words. Instead, he happily agreed. Those familiar with Chu Molin knew that he was trying his best to hide his emotions.
How could Li Da Bao not be happy when he saw his Deputy Chief Chu showing reluctance to leave him?
