"Huh, you mean..." Qin Xue understood what was going on as soon as she heard it. Well, yeah, this is something everyone knows. But wouldn’t it be exhausting for her to keep hiding it like that?

Because Qin Xue can’t lie, she’d never even considered hiding it back then. Her idea was: I’ll just say it. If he can accept it, great; if he can’t, then bye. No big deal.

"Mm, what happened to us is different. I get it." Nangong Beiying didn’t say anything more, just replied calmly.

"This kind of thing doesn’t happen to everyone. Just like me, he figured it out himself—I never said a word." Qin Xue nodded. She’d gone with a "screw it, let the jar break" attitude from the start.

Chu Molin had good hearing and was listening to the three of them chatting. Thinking about it, they were right. That was exactly how it went—he’d discovered his wife’s secret purely by being observant.

It was just that Ye Xuan had been with Qing Zhu for so long already. Could it be he never felt that Qing Zhu’s behavior or anything about her was different from a normal person?

When that thought crossed his mind, Chu Molin looked over at Ye Xuan beside him. Ye Xuan wasn’t a careless man. Judging from how things stood now, he hadn’t noticed anything. Had he really not noticed? 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Big Bro, what’s up? Why are you looking at me like that?" Ye Xuan glanced at Chu Molin in confusion. Had he done something wrong?

"Idiot." Chu Molin dismissed him with a single word.

There were so many obvious gaps, how could he not have noticed? If that’s not being an idiot, what is?

"How am I an idiot? Big Bro, can you not be like this every time? If you’ve got something to say, just say it. Acting like this totally baffles me. I have no idea what you’re trying to get at." Ye Xuan honestly didn’t know what he’d done to piss him off.

He didn’t seem to have done anything, so why was Chu Molin calling him an idiot? But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he just couldn’t figure out why.

"Calling you an idiot is putting it lightly. Let’s go." Looking at his dumb face, Chu Molin was truly speechless. Was Ye Xuan the type that, if his own wife went back to her original world one day, he still wouldn’t know what was going on?

Thinking about the possibility that one day they might go back, Chu Molin’s heart clenched. He unconsciously quickened his pace, walked over to Qin Xue’s side, and reached out to grab her other hand.

"What’s wrong?" Qin Xue turned her head to look at the man beside her.

She’d almost counterattacked. That reaction was pure instinct in the face of danger. Only when she sensed his familiar presence did her taut nerves relax.

She had no idea what kind of wind had blown through him, suddenly giving her such a scare for no reason.

"Nothing. I just felt like holding your hand while we walk." Chu Molin couldn’t exactly say he was afraid she’d suddenly disappear.

If he really said that, those three women would definitely think he was nuts.

Because no one thinks about their own wife that way, so they’d surely assume there was something wrong with his brain.

Besides, Ye Xuan clearly still didn’t know Qing Zhu’s secret. Chu Molin could tell him, but that was something between husband and wife. What would it look like for him to stick his oar in? Better to let them handle it themselves.

Once they’re home, couples can talk about whatever they want. It doesn’t have much to do with anyone else.

No matter how much outsiders like them think about it, it really has nothing to do with them.

Because the ones who actually have to live together are them, not these outsiders.

So whether they can accept it or not is their own business, isn’t it?

"Okay, then let’s walk together." Qin Xue did feel that this was a bit like showing off their PDA, but since he wanted to do it, there was nothing she could do. She could only let him be.

Watching Chu Molin walk on ahead, Ye Xuan followed his example and went over to grab Qing Zhu’s hand. But Qing Zhu was not Qin Xue. The instant he touched her hand, she directly flipped him over her shoulder.

Luckily Ye Xuan was strong and reacted the moment she moved, otherwise he really would have gone down hard and ugly.
