Upon hearing this, Chu Molin fell silent. So she didn’t purposely fail to recognize him today.
It wasn’t a game of playing hard to get but because she had suffered a head injury and lost her memory. She forgot everything, even his identity, which made her drive him out of the house.
No matter why he had married her in the first place, she was his wife now. If anyone bullied her, it was as if they were bullying him. No matter who it was, he would find out and teach them a lesson.
It was incredibly dangerous to have suffered a head injury. Moreover, she was pregnant. Waking up after being unconscious for several days, despite experiencing memory loss, was a significant relief. Chu Molin thought for a while and said,
“Chief Xie, Sister-in-law, I’ll head back first. Since Xue’er invited you to dinner, why don’t you come over later? I’m going home to check on her.”
“Go ahead, go ahead. Be thoughtful. Qin Xue has changed a lot. Put away your gloomy expression so as not to scare her.” Xie Jun advised.
“Absolutely, my sweet Sister Qin Xue is doing quite well now. You better not frighten her,” Fang Hong chimed in.
“Mm, I understand. Chief Xie, Sister-in-law, I’ll be leaving now.” Chu Molin turned around to go home. He took out his keys and attempted to open the door but it was locked. “Xue’er, open the door.”
The deep and pleasant voice from outside the door startled Qin Xue, who was leaning against it. With a reflexive jump, she opened the door.
Outside and inside the door, the two of them stood in silence, their gazes meeting wordlessly. After a while, it was Chu Molin who broke the silence: “I’m going to take a bath first. I smell bad.”
He strided past Qin Xue into his room. Not a trace of dust was to be seen, indicating that in his absence, Qin Xue had helped clean up.
Qin Xue stepped aside after Chu Molin finished speaking, watching him enter his room, then followed him slowly, hesitantly saying,
“Uhm, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to kick you out today.”
“I had a head injury a while ago and lost my memory. I didn’t remember you, so I didn’t know you were Chu Molin. And you didn’t say you were Chu Molin today, so I thought you were just a worker here.”
“Since I didn’t recognize you, I…hehe.” Qin Xue noticed that Chu Molin just looked at her without speaking. She couldn’t finish her sentence and awkwardly laughed a couple of times.
“Hmm, we’ll talk about our issues later. I’m going to take a bath first. Didn’t you invite Chief Xie and others to dinner? ‘
“I see that you’ve set the table. Don’t let the food get cold. It would be impolite to our guests if I still smell this bad, right?” Chu Molin was a man of few words.
Only Heaven knew why, upon seeing Qin Xue’s effort to explain and her subsequent awkward embarrassment, these words slipped out of his mouth.
“Ah, oh, okay, then go ahead. I’ll get the water ready for you.”
After saying this, she hurriedly shut the room door and went into the bathroom, drawing two buckets of spiritual spring water.
Even though it was hot, washing with cold water wasn’t good for your health, and Qin Xue didn’t know Chu Molin would be back, so had not prepared hot water.
As the spiritual spring water was warm and not cold to touch, without thinking about whether or not her secret storage space would be exposed, she scooped up the water. Noticing the water, Qin Xue berated herself for being so foolish. Why did she bring up spiritual spring water?
What would she do if that was found out? As she thought about bending down to pour the water and to refill the buckets with tap water, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Chu Molin was already standing at the door. Standing up, she gave an awkward laugh, “The water is ready. Go take your bath.”
Seeing Qin Xue, Chu Molin’s lips unconsciously curled up a bit. His mood suddenly improved, and the tension he was feeling lifted.
After putting away his clothes and taking off the dirty ones he was wearing, he saw that the wounds on his body were still covered in gauze, which easily unwrapped with a pull.
Chu Molin took a towel and began to bathe, his nostrils filled with a pleasant scent. He couldn’t resist taking a deep breath, and his body and mind relaxed.
When his hand touched the water, Chu Molin paused. He turned the tap on, scooped some water, and felt that it was different.
The water was warm. There was no way Qin Xue could have prepared hot water at this time, and since she didn’t recognize him and didn’t know he was going to take a bath, she couldn’t have prepared the water in advance.
So where did this hot water come from? It seemed his little wife had a secret.
He had felt a difference from the first time he saw her today. Even if a person lost their memory, their personality wouldn’t change that much.. Was she hiding herself before, or did something else happen besides the injury?
