Chapter 553: Chapter 548 Sleep Problems
At night, Qin Lei and Qin Yu moved to the guest house, and Nangong Shulan shared a room with their younger daughter. Chu Molin naturally stayed with Qin Xue and their two kids.
Chu Molin gazed at the two sons sleeping in the crib, grateful for his foresight. When he had Uncle Li build a walker for Jingtao, he also had him make this baby crib.
He had Li Da Bao bring it back from the hospital just a few days ago when Qin Xue was admitted. It was being put to good use now.
Chu Molin positioned the crib perfectly before turning off the lights to sleep.
Waking up four or five times a night to change diapers and feed, Qin Xue felt guilty seeing Chu Molin’s weariness.
“Chu Molin, how about you start staying in the dorm from tomorrow on? You’re not getting any rest here at home. It will affect your training,” Qin Xue whispered into Chu Molin’s embrace after putting their sleeping son gently down.
“It’s OK, I can take it,” Chu Molin tightened the arm he had around his wife.
“Why are you so stubborn?” Qin Xue gazed up at Chu Molin’s determined jawline.
“If I’m not home, it’ll be tough on you alone,” Chu Molin said gently, his gaze meeting hers.
“Chu Molin, I love you,” Qin Xue murmured, burrowing her face into his chest. Her words were barely audible.
Chu Molin tightened his embrace: Xue’er, I love you too, much more than you love me.
When Qin Xue woke up, Chu Molin was already gone from their bed. The sound of activity echoed from the outside, probably her mother or younger sister making breakfast, she guessed?
When Qin Xue walked out in her slippers, she saw her mother busily working in the kitchen.
“Mom, good morning!” As she expected, her mother was making breakfast.
“Why are you up so early, Xiao Xue?” Hearing her daughter’s voice, Nangong Shulan looked up and asked.
“I slept too much. Can’t sleep anymore,” Qin Xue answered with a smile.
“Was last night rough on you?” Nangong Shulan had heard the commotion but didn’t intervene as her son-in-law was in the room.
“It was OK, Molin handled it all,” Qin Xue replied. She hadn’t done much, just breastfeeding.
“Molin can’t sustain this. His health will be affected. How about I take care of the kids tonight?” Nangong Shulan considered Molin’s day training schedule.
“I told him to stay in the dorm. He won’t go,” Qin Xue sighed helplessly. She was worried for him as much as he was for her, that stubborn man.
“Molin doesn’t want you to be overburdened. He’s a good child and he’s been trying hard for you, just like your father,” Nangong Shulan softly spoke for Molin.
“Oh, so Dad took care of you during your confinement period?” Qin Xue perked up hearing this.
“Yes, he took care of me wholeheartedly,” Nangong Shulan shared with a smile, looking at her curious daughter.
“Wow, that’s wonderful,” Qin Xue was delighted to hear how her father in his past life, who remained single all his life for her mother, treated her mother in this life.
“Yes, he’s wonderful to all of us,” Nangong Shulan had no qualms sharing this with her daughter. Her husband was genuinely kind to them, especially to Xiao Xue and Xiao Yu. He treated them even better than Lele.
Nangong Shulan doubted whether any other man could match Qin Lei’s dedication. It was why she was determined to live a happy life with Qin Lei, putting all past grievances behind her.
“Yes, I can feel it,” Qin Xue nodded. Though she had limited interaction with Qin Lei, she could see it in his eyes.
One’s love for another could often be discerned from their gaze and body language.
She saw in Qin Lei’s eyes his deep love for Nangong Shulan. It was a good thing. The happiness her mother had missed out on in her past life, she got in this one. Qin Xue was happy for Qin Lei and Nangong Shulan.
Seeing the happy smile on her mother’s face, Qin Xue silently wished in her heart, “You must be very, very happy.”
