Chapter 367: It’s Not That He Made No Sound

Fu Mingxue was surprised to hear that and looked over at him.

’Go? For a walk?’

’He certainly seems to be in a leisurely mood.’

"I have to work on my blueprints and prepare for my lessons. I don’t have time. Why don’t you go by yourself."

Watching her work so hard, Qin Wenhao sighed inwardly.

It wasn’t that he wanted to bother her.

It was just that—seeing how hard she was working, he wanted her to have some time to rest and relax.

But since his wife had put it that way, he obviously couldn’t force her to go out for a walk with him.

"Alright then, you get back to work. I’ll be right outside. Just call me if you need anything."

Fu Mingxue suggested earnestly, "Since you’re just sitting around the house, you can go hang out with your friends. You don’t need to mind me."

’Doesn’t he get bored sitting at home all by himself?’

Qin Wenhao shook his head.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

So he went to open it.

Qin Wenhao was a bit surprised by the two men who appeared.

Before he could say a word, one of them spoke up.

"Qin Wenhao, you rascal! You come to Beijing and don’t even look us up. It’s a good thing we knew you lived here and just came to find you ourselves. Is your wife home? We thought we’d stop by and see her—"

"Yeah, seriously! It’s like you don’t even consider us brothers anymore. You’ve been here for days and haven’t come to see us. What are you doing blocking the door? Let us in!"

Qin Wenhao didn’t move. "My wife is working. She’s busy and can’t be disturbed. You guys wait here a minute, I’ll go tell her."

He didn’t give the two of them a chance to react, just slammed the door shut with a BANG.

The two men at the door nearly had their noses smashed by the door.

’Good heavens! If you’re going to tell her, then just go tell her. Why shut the door?’

Meanwhile, Qin Wenhao went back inside. "Honey, two of my friends are here to see me. I’m going to head out for a bit. While you’re here alone, don’t just open the door for strangers, understand?"

Fu Mingxue was speechless.

’Does he think I’m a child?’

With a weary wave of her hand, she said, "I know. You’d better get going. No need to rush back."

"Then come and lock the door in a bit." He didn’t feel right about locking the main gate from the outside.

’What if she needs to go out?’

It had to be locked from the inside.

Fu Mingxue nodded at his words. "Alright."

Qin Wenhao walked out.

Opening the door, he said to the two of them, "Let’s go."

And the three of them left together.

Fu Mingxue had already forgotten all about locking the door. At that moment, she was busy drawing the blueprints.

Back when she was at the First Auto Factory, she had promised Director Liu she would develop a new, powerful engine for them.

She had given her word on the matter.

This was because Director Liu had said he wanted to participate in the Canton Fair in the second half of the year.

He had also promised that as long as the engine was developed, she would receive an additional bonus.

’Besides, every penny counts.’

That evening, Qin Wenhao didn’t get back until ten o’clock.

When he entered the house, he saw his wife was still burning the midnight oil, working on her drawings.

So he walked over to her. "Honey."

The sudden sound of his voice startled Fu Mingxue, making her jump.

She turned her head. "How did you come in without making a single sound?"

Qin Wenhao was at a loss for words. ’It wasn’t that I was silent, it’s that you were too focused.’

"My fault. I’ll be sure to make some noise next time. It’s very late, and you have class tomorrow. Aren’t you going to bed?"

’They hadn’t been together for several nights, so he was feeling a bit... eager tonight.’

’No, scratch that—very eager.’

Fu Mingxue caught the strong smell of alcohol on him.

She raised an eyebrow at him. "You’ve been drinking?"

Qin Wenhao nodded. "Had a little with my friends. Honey, how about we turn in early?"

His eyes had grown dark and deep.

Fu Mingxue’s gaze met his.

Her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

’So, this guy wants to... you know?’
