Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Wife’s Sleeping Posture
Translator: 549690339
Looking at the sleeping woman, Chu Molin softly kissed her forehead and whispered, “Goodnight, wife.” He wrapped his arm tightly around her and soon fell asleep as well.
In a drowsy state, he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his stomach and his neck being tightly squeezed, which startled him awake.
Chu Molin looked down to see the woman lying on her side, her bent leg pressing against his stomach and her arm around his neck, half-sprawling on him like an octopus.
Frightened, Chu Molin quickly rolled her back and pulled her away from his belly to avoid harming her stomach, then looked at her sleeping peacefully before closing his eyes and going back to sleep.
But he didn’t sleep for long before waking up again, this time from being kicked in the leg. Thinking he was being attacked, he realized his wife was a very restless sleeper.
Chu Molin sighed, adjusted his wife’s position, and held her closely, trapping her legs between his own to prevent her from moving. Now, he thought, they should both be able to sleep.
But Chu Molin had underestimated Qin Xue’s restlessness, unaware if it was due to her pregnancy or just her natural sleeping habits.
Qin Xue tossed and turned all night and later began to gently touch her belly with her hands.
Chu Molin sympathetically replaced her hand with his own and gently massaged her belly. Only then did Qin Xue finally fall into a quiet sleep.
Chu Molin watched Qin Xue fall asleep, wrapped her in his arms, and went back to sleep. Though he didn’t sleep for long that night, he woke up as soon as the whistle blew in the morning.
Seeing his wife’s furrowed brow, he covered her ears with his hand, and as her brow relaxed, he quickly got up, got dressed, and went out to exercise. Despite being on leave, he didn’t plan to skip his workout.
When Qin Xue woke up, it was already seven o’clock and the man who had slept beside her was long gone.
She wore an off-shoulder maternity dress with lace and braided a small strand of hair in front of her forehead, while the rest of her hair was braided in a bun atop her head. It looked refreshing and attractive.
After washing up, Qin Xue caught a fish from her space and made fish slice porridge, sprinkling some green onion on top. The white porridge adorned with vibrant green onions was a beautiful sight.
Thinking about Chu Molin’s appetite, she decided to also prepare some scallion pancakes for him.
As soon as the pancakes were on the table, Chu Molin returned, hanging his clothes on a nearby rack.
Upon seeing his wife’s outfit, Chu Molin’s eyes lit up. He had never seen anyone dress up like this, and it was truly eye-catching.
It had to be said that Mr. Chu was very open-minded, at least in Qin Xue’s opinion.
All she was doing was exposing her shoulders, which were still mostly covered by a wide strap. Was that really so shocking?
“You’re back. Do you want to shower before having breakfast?” Qin Xue noticed that his clothes were soaked with sweat.
“Mmm, I’ll take a shower. You go ahead and eat.” Fearing his sweaty state would repulse his wife, Chu Molin changed into casual clothes and headed for the bathroom.
Qin Xue proceeded to stir-fry some greens and served two bowls of fish slice porridge just as Chu Molin finished his shower at an incredible speed, making her wonder if he always rushed like this.
“Why are you wearing casual clothes? Don’t you have to go to work?” It seemed like people here never wore casual clothes. Every time she saw them, they were in uniforms.
Qin Xue considered that she hadn’t seen Chu Molin’s wardrobe yet, so she didn’t even know if he had regular clothes. But now, seeing him wear casual clothes, she knew he did.
She thought about designing a couple of suits and jackets for him and asking Fang Hong to make them so he could have a change of clothes.
“Wife, don’t you remember? I told you yesterday that I’m taking you out today to meet my friends.” Chu Molin looked at Qin Xue for her response.
“Ah, I didn’t know you were serious. Are you on leave today?” Qin Xue had thought he was joking, but apparently, he wasn’t.
“Of course I’m serious. Did you think I was playing a joke on you?” Chu Molin raised his eyebrows at Qin Xue, who could only respond with an awkward smile..
