I’ll look into those later and see how many secrets this little wife is hiding from me.
Chu Molin shook his head and started to wash his hair and take a bath. After the bath, he felt like all the pores in his body were opened.
Feeling relaxed and comfortable, even the fatigue from not having enough rest in recent days was gone.
It seems that his little wife’s secrets were not small. Chu Molin had a quick battle bath, which took only a few minutes.
He grabbed a dry towel, wiped his hair dry, put on a dark green short-sleeved shirt that tightly wrapped around his upper body muscles, and wore a pair of camouflage pants.
When Qin Xue saw Chu Molin in such attire, the corners of her mouth twitched, as if seeing action hormones.
“Are you going to work later?” Qin Xue looked up and down at Chu Molin.
“No, why?” Chu Molin looked at his little wife’s gaze and looked down at his clothes. There shouldn’t be any problems.
“Oh, nothing, just that you’re dressed so neatly, I thought I’d ask.”
After saying this, Qin Xue muttered quietly: Why does he wear so many clothes in the evening without going to work or training? Isn’t it hot?
After that, she shook her head, expressing that she couldn’t understand. Qin Xue thought she had muttered quietly enough, but the man with excellent hearing heard everything.
Chu Molin moved his lips to say something, but decided not to say anything.
“Huh, why aren’t they here yet? The dishes will get cold soon, let me go and see.” Qin Xue said while walking to the door, and was just about to open it when the doorbell rang.
Upon opening the door, she saw the two families had arrived together: “Come on in, you guys are so slow that the dishes have gone cold.
I was just about to go out and call you when you arrived. Please have a seat.
Ah, I just realized that we might not have enough chairs.” Qin Xue was genuinely embarrassed, inviting people for dinner and not having enough chairs, were they supposed to stand and eat?
Chu Molin was helpless as well, and had to bring out two long benches to barely accommodate everyone.
Everyone sat together, leaving the spot next to Chu Molin for Qin Xue.
Qin Xue brought out the fish soup and then sat down in the last empty seat.
Everyone looked at the dishes on the table, and their mouths were watering just from the aroma. They knew the food would be delicious without even having to taste it.
“Mom, Auntie’s dishes smell so good, especially those buns. They’re the best!” Jiajia saw the buns she’d eaten before and couldn’t forget them since she had them last time.
“Jiajia, do you like buns? Then let Auntie serve you one.” Qin Xue gave Jiajia a bun, and then saw that everyone else hadn’t started eating yet.
She tapped Chu Molin’s hand: “Welcome Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu to eat. What are you looking at?”
Chu Molin’s body stiffened for a moment, but he quickly reacted: “Mr. Xie, Mr. Xu, please enjoy your meal.”
“Sister-in-law, you guys eat too, don’t be polite. Try the braised fish, it smells great.” Qin Xue invited everyone to eat the dishes.
She took a bowl and helped herself to some fish head and tofu soup.
“Qin Xue, your cooking skills are quite good, and the dishes are very flavorful.
Especially this braised fish. If only we had some wine to go with these delicious dishes, it would be a shame otherwise.” Xie Jun had a bite of the braised fish.
“Xiu, don’t we have half a bottle of white wine at home? Go get it, let’s have a few drinks.
I didn’t expect my sister to be such a good cook, we have to toast properly.” Xu Fangzhou recalled the half-empty bottle of white wine at home.
“Okay, I’ll go get it.” Yu Xiu stood up, pushed her stool away and was about to leave when she heard Qin Xue say:
“Um, do you guys want to drink? What kind of wine do you want?” She said and tugged on Chu Molin’s clothes, signaling him to lean closer.
Chu Molin lowered his head slightly, and a warm breath came to his ear:
“What kind of wine do you guys usually drink, something strong or something mild?” A faint peach blossom scent with a hint of warmth entered his nostrils.
Chu Molin felt a bit uneasy, and his ears turned slightly red.
Chu Molin looked at Qin Xue: “Do we have any wine at home? We usually drink something stronger.”
“Oh, you want strong wine. Wait a moment then, I don’t know if you’ll like the wine I have at home.”
After saying this, she got up from the table and went to the corner where she had prepared some wine for Li Zhao. She took out two jars, one containing the strong peach blossom wine made from white wine, and the other a mild wine fermented with Spirit Spring water.
Chu Molin saw her and went to help bring the wine. Qin Xue didn’t argue with him.
When they returned to the table, she handed him the mild wine, saying, “You men drink the strong wine, and we’ll drink this milder one.”
The couple each held a bottle. Chu Molin opened the wine jar first, and a strong aroma of peach blossoms mixed with the scent of alcohol filled the air.
Chu Molin’s eyes darkened, this mellow fragrance was a hundred years old, and it was actually the hundred-year-old peach blossom wine..
