Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 852: Chapter 846: Encountering a Robbery_1

Seeing Mr. Mo in this state, Qin Xue hesitated before speaking. She originally wanted to tell him that she could prepare some food for him in the future. However, she wasn’t sure when she would have the time. If she made a promise she couldn’t keep, wouldn’t that be breaking her word? She decided it was best to just prepare some extra food for him when she could, that way she wouldn’t be making a promise she couldn’t fulfill.

“They do control me a little too much, not letting me eat this, not letting me eat that.” Mr. Mo thought about how every time he went to the dining hall, people would discourage him from eating certain things. He knew it was because his health took a hit during his fighting days, and his body couldn’t handle it if he wasn’t careful. He didn’t blame anyone, he was rather touched by their concern.

“That is understandable,” Qin Xue smiled.

After they finished eating, Qin Xue paid the bill, took the packed food, and left the restaurant with Mr. Mo.

“Mr. Mo, where do you live? I should take you home.” Qin Xue looked at the night sky, she had been here for quite a while and this was the first time she was out so late. The lit lamps on the street seemed to guide the passersby to return home early.

“No need, I live nearby. You should go home early.” Mr. Mo didn’t want to trouble her, he could do it himself.

...
“How could I let you go home alone? Come on, let me take you home, then I can go home early too.” Qin Xue was not comfortable letting him go home alone so late at night. The best solution was for her to get him home, then she could return to her own. She was worried about how Xue Ling and the children were getting along at home, she did not want to delay any longer.

“Alright then, thank you for troubling yourself.” Mr. Mo looked at Qin Xue, knowing she wouldn’t be at ease letting him walk home alone. He initially refused because he saw her eagerness to return, but now that she insisted he decides to not hold her back, he should straight up go home and not delay her time.

“That’s more like it.” Qin Xue said as she walked him home.

“This is my place, would you like to come in for a drink?” Mr. Mo asked Qin Xue as they arrived.

“No, thank you, Mr. Mo. I have children at home, I can’t rest easy with them alone so late at night. I won’t stay any longer, I’ll be off now. We can go out to have a nice meal when I’m free.” It was only now that Qin Xue voiced her concerns. If she didn’t, she was worried Mr. Mo would think she was being rude by not entering his house.

“I see, well that works too. We can dine together when you’re free. You’re really piqued my interest, why wouldn’t you tell me about your circumstances? You’ve kept me delayed for so long.” Mr. Mo had noticed Qin Xue’s discomfort, but he didn’t expect it to be because she had children at home. For some reason, he assumed she was not married yet. He wondered who married such a good girl and completely overlooked the fact that Qin Xue mentioned she stayed at home with her children in the conference room.

“Alright, then please go inside, Mr. Mo. I’m going home now.” Only after Qin Xue saw Mr. Mo entering his house did she turn around to head home.

Qin Xue carried the food and headed home. But she hadn’t gotten far when she was stopped by someone in a narrow alleyway.

“May I help you?” Qin Xue looked at the two young men blocking her path. They really knew how to pick their targets. Did they think she was easy to bully?

“Give us your money.” One of them didn’t seem bothered by Qin Xue, they were just after her money. However, the other one had more sinister intentions after seeing Qin Xue’s appearance, she was too captivating.

“Big brother, this woman is really pretty.” He nudged his companion’s arm, whispering his observation.
