Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

"Dongfang Li, we're heading to An Hao's shop. The kids are playing here, and Xue Ling is watching over them. If you need to go out, just let Xue Ling know, and she will look after the kids, or you can tell Xiaoqiao."

"Sure, are you leaving now?" Dongfang Li had thought about going to Qing Zhu's room to chat with them, but the kids were young, and she didn't feel comfortable leaving them alone. So she stayed with them.

"Yes, go on with your embroidery. The kids can play by themselves, it's fine." Qin Xue was well aware of her children's behavior. They were very obedient and mature; she felt they were too precocious for one-year-olds.

"Alright." Dongfang Li glanced at the four kids. Indeed, they were playing together without any arguments, getting along well.

"Then we're off. Thanks for your help." Qin Xue waved before leaving Dongfang Li's room.

"Let's go." Qin Xue noticed Qing Zhu was ready and called her out.

"Is your husband here too?" Qing Zhu pondered since Ye Xuan had the day off from work. Qin Xue's husband worked at the same place, so he should be off too.

"Yes, why do you ask?" Qin Xue looked at Qing Zhu.

"Oh, nothing. Just that you two are so lovey-dovey everywhere you go, it makes the air feel sweet." What could Qing Zhu say? Couples who show off their affection are just lucky.

"Then why don't you go out with Ye Xuan? You could do the same." Qin Xue never thought anything was wrong with Ye Xuan, but Qing Zhu had to be willing too.

Qing Zhu wasn't like Nangong Beiying, naive about relationships. She could offer advice and had a rich experience, seeing things much more clearly. It was better not to interfere in Qing Zhu's matters.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If I could, I wouldn't need you to say it." Qing Zhu glared at Qin Xue.

"What do you mean?" Qin Xue looked at Qing Zhu, puzzled about why she couldn't go out.

"Not interested, so I don't want to go." Qing Zhu brushed it off and walked ahead of Qin Xue.

"Is it really lack of interest, or are you just uneasy about what he did before?" Qin Xue thought Ye Xuan was good-looking, and a decent person. Though he wasn't talkative or very smiley, he seemed much gentler than Chu Molin. Overall, he seemed like a quality guy, but Qing Zhu claimed she wasn't interested. Wouldn't other women clobber her for that?

"A bit of both, I guess. I just don't want to talk about it now. I want to take some time to think. You know when I came here, I had nothing. I just want to have some fun before making any decisions." Qing Zhu talked about her situation. Actually, she had a shop, but after disappearing for so long, she didn't know how it was doing. She'd have to find time to check on it, lest it change owners in her absence, which would be devastating.

"Still the same mindset. Didn't Yingying say you both came here because of a fate you drew at the temple? Your destined person is probably right in front of you, or else how did you end up with them?" Qin Xue recalled what Nangong Beiying had once told her.

"Xuexue, are you silly? Even married people can divorce. I'm not even married yet. Plus, how can you rely on some silly fate reading?" Qing Zhu truly didn't believe in those so-called fate readings.
