Chapter 476: 471: Self-inflicted Disaster
Qin Xue’s face flushed as she looked at herself in the mirror. The red marks on her neck made her wonder how she would face people today.
Qin Xue touched the exposed hickey, feeling like she had brought this on herself. That damned man, was he trying to let everyone know what they did last night?
It was such a hot day, even if she wanted to hide it, she couldn’t.
Out of options, Qin Xue went into her space and found some peach blossoms and a few herbs. She crushed them to extract the juices and then, facing the mirror, slowly painted over the marks with a brush.
By the time Qin Xue stopped, a few delicate and enticing rose-like patterns appeared on her neck, connected by fine branches.
Below her collarbone was a blooming rose, positioned right between her breast and collarbone. The dress she wore couldn’t completely hide the flowers, which appeared and disappeared tantalizingly, making Qin Xue look ethereal.
Qin Xue pinned up her hair, making herself look elegant and poised.
Qin Xue looked at herself in the mirror and, satisfied, put away her brush.
Qin Xue started to prepare breakfast, including mochi from yesterday that she hadn’t sent to Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu’s houses yet. Fearing they would spoil, she stored them in her space. Chu Molin could deliver them when everyone was home later on.
Today, Qin Xue steamed buns, made fish fillet porridge, and Mandarin rolls.
Qin Xue wanted to provide various options so people could choose what they preferred.
When Chu Molin returned from work, Qin Xue was putting buns and Mandarin rolls into a basin.
“Go wash your hands and eat.” Hearing the door open, Qin Xue spoke without raising her head.
“Okay.” Chu Molin cheerfully agreed with his wife.
Chu Molin didn’t know that his cheerfulness had almost scared several small team leaders and others to pee their pants, especially the small team leaders. They thought that given what happened last night, they would definitely be severely punished today.
Who would have expected that their deputy section chief would just give them an occasional smile throughout the morning? This was even more terrifying than if he had punished them directly. After all, who had ever seen their deputy section chief smile, let alone so uncharacteristically?
So they were trembling in fear the entire morning, afraid that Deputy Chief Chu Molin would suddenly explode.
Who would have guessed that after scaring them the whole morning, the deputy section chief did nothing?
Until they were off training and having dinner, everyone still couldn’t understand why their deputy section chief was acting so strange today.
Even if they knew Chu Molin was acting strangely because of Qin Xue, they would definitely say: “Heroes have always had difficulty passing the gates of beauty. Even our own Cold King Yama is no exception and has been captured by a beauty.”
“Wife, what delicious food did you make?” Chu Molin asked as he hugged Qin Xue from behind.
“Let go, go wash up for dinner.” Qin Xue slapped the hand resting on her belly and scolded. This man seemed to have become addicted to hugging her and took advantage whenever he could, touching and holding her.
“Hmm, I want to eat you.” Chu Molin now understood why those little bunnies always said they wanted their wives and so on. He didn’t get the meaning of those dirty jokes before, but after last night, he understood.
Those who have never tasted meat don’t know how tempting it is. Once they had tasted it, they couldn’t help but itch for more, thinking about how to eat it again.
“Chu Molin, that’s enough.” Qin Xue’s face flushed as if it could bleed. Had she made a mistake?
“Wife, you are so beautiful.” Chu Molin looked at the Qin Xue who turned around, his eyes full of awe. Qin Xue had always been beautiful, but she had lacked a bit of charm. After their intimate night, she looked different today, seeming more enchanting.
