Chapter 2680: Chapter 2676: Discovery
"No, you just got back and you must be exhausted. Go over there and rest, we’ve got this. There’s not much to do, the food will be ready soon." Nangong Shulan looked at her daughter and son-in-law, noticing how big her belly had grown, several months along, isn’t it?
Nangong Shulan didn’t know that Qin Xue was pregnant with twins again this time. She just thought that her belly seemed like it was several months along.
If Qin Xue wasn’t carrying the baby towards her back, her belly would be even bigger. As a doctor, she’s slow to react in this area. Thankfully, it didn’t cause any irreversible consequences, or she’d regret it immensely.
Everything is moving along according to their wishes, and that in itself is the greatest happiness.
"Mom, why don’t you and Dad rest? Chu Molin and I can handle this." Qin Xue thought about letting the elders rest while the younger ones do the work.
"You and Molin should rest. I’ll take care of this. If you don’t want to rest, then why don’t you go to the store and keep an eye on it? Although there’s not much foot traffic now, it’s still not good to leave it unattended." Nangong Shulan planned to cook, and once Qin Lei returned with groceries, she could start preparing the meal.
But they are managing it with one person cooking and the other watching the store, so usually, there is always someone there.
Now that Qin Xue and the others are back, it’s perfect timing. They can watch the store while Qin Xue and the others can check which inventory needs replenishing, making this a win-win situation, truly great.
"Alright then, we’ll go to the store. You two take care." Chu Molin realized they didn’t need his help and went along with it. The situation wasn’t as simple as he thought.
Not simple, yet not complex either. Since they are a couple, they certainly wouldn’t want to be disturbed. This understanding comes naturally to Chu Molin.
He doesn’t say much else. Just thinking about what exactly needs to be done makes it clear to him.
"Mom, you and Dad take it easy. We’ll go see what inventory is running low." Qin Xue didn’t want to be the third wheel here, so she decided to go with the flow.
"Okay, be careful, don’t fall or get hurt." Nangong Shulan reminded Qin Xue.
"Got it, I know." Qin Xue obliged, following instructions.
She wouldn’t force herself to do what she didn’t want to. She’ll see how it plays out and decide from there.
"Chu Molin, could you help me take note of what types of wine are left on the shelves, and then we’ll check them against the warehouse inventory?" Qin Xue handed Chu Molin a notebook and pen to record the inventory so they could know what needs replenishment.
There’s truth in the saying that a sharp mind is no match for a worn-out pen. It shows how heavy the task of documenting can be. Given this, we should certainly choose carefully, right?
"Sure, let’s do it together." Chu Molin took the notebook, calmly accepting. It’s straightforward and doesn’t challenge him.
"Chu Molin, have you noticed something odd?" After going through all the wine on the shelves, Qin Xue and Chu Molin moved to the warehouse.
"Yes, I have." Chu Molin’s expression was unreadable, but inside, he was quite startled.
So many men coming to buy this kind of wine makes him wonder if they all have some unspeakable issues.
That’s why they tend to buy such wines to boost their enthusiasm. But now, as he stood here with his wife, he felt his face heat up.
He purely thought about something else that made him realize staying here with his wife might be risky.
After all, the time and place weren’t right. If their parents-in-law saw, who knows what they’d think of him?
