Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2016: Chapter 2010: The Sus Make Their Move

Xiao Qi isn’t entirely unaware of what scheme the Sus are up to, but he genuinely has no feelings for Su Yun, so he can only disappoint the Sus for their fondness of him.

"Don’t worry. Who am I? It’s enough if I don’t let them take advantage." Qin Xue chuckled. She hadn’t used her skills for a long time and wanted to stretch her muscles. However, Chu Molin wouldn’t let her do so, so she thought it would be good to get some exercise when possible to avoid letting her bones rust.

"I’ve heard from the boss that you’re skilled. I always assumed he was joking. Now it seems I was too quick to assume." Xiao Qi found it hard to believe since Qin Xue seemed so refined and gentle. She didn’t look like someone with skills. Last time they caught human traffickers, it was dark, so he thought she was just lucky to knock down a few people. But now he sees that wasn’t the case at all.

"Of course. If I could catch Chu Molin’s eye, do you think I’d be that bad?" It’s not that Qin Xue is blowing her own trumpet, it’s just that she’s genuinely excellent.

"Yeah, I know the boss has a sharp eye." Xiao Qi was very certain about this. Chu Molin not only had a sharp eye but also a sharp tongue. His words were merciless enough to make people speechless.

"Alright, no more bragging. I gotta go now, see you later." Qin Xue finished the last sip of coffee in her cup. This stuff wasn’t easy to come by, so she wouldn’t waste it.

"Okay, I’ll walk you out." Wen Qing smiled at Qin Xue’s demeanor. He had coffee in his office, so he went to get a can to give to her.

"No need, I know the way out. You guys should get back to work." When Qin Xue arrived, she came on her own, so she knew the way out.

"There’s another reason I’m walking you out. Let’s go, it’s because I’m going to get coffee for you." Wen Qing laughed at Qin Xue’s puzzled expression, thinking she shouldn’t assume he had fallen for her and insisted on escorting her.

If that were the case, he really needed to be mentally prepared for Chu Molin coming to hassle him.

"You have extra coffee? How much, I’ll pay you." Qin Xue’s eyes lit up at the mention of coffee, as she craved it. In this era, it’s difficult to come by this stuff. Without connections, it’s hard to drink it. The fact that Wen Qing had some to give her indicated his background and connections were good, otherwise he couldn’t get his hands on these rare items.

And not everyone loves coffee. It can be somewhat bitter, but once you drink through the bitterness, a sweet aftertaste slowly overflows from the throat to fill the entire mouth.

Qin Xue especially loved coffee, as she felt sometimes the more bitter the coffee, the more it represented her mood. But after meeting Chu Molin, her world changed from bitterness to sweetness.

However things turned out, she gradually overcame the bitter days.

Moreover, Qin Xue felt that coffee reaching the Imperial Capital in this era proved that something represented certain decisiveness in the new era.

Because this marked the country’s entry into a new era. Even if not recognized now, it wouldn’t stop people’s progress.

"You don’t need to pay. I said I’d give it to you, so I’m giving it to you. If you like it, next time I go abroad for business trips, maybe I can have someone bring it back for you." Wen Qing didn’t see it as a big problem. Having someone bring some things back was normal. He only asked favors from people he was familiar with, or he wouldn’t ask.
