“Alright.” The server brought the menu to Chu Molin on the low table, poured a pot of tea for everyone, and then stood by, waiting for them to order.
Chu Molin handed the menu to Qin Xue and An Hao, “Xue’er, An’an, you two order. Choose whatever dishes you’d like.”
Qin Xue looked through the menu and finally ordered a cold pork stomach salad and sweet and sour pork ribs before handing it back to Chu Molin.
Chu Molin didn’t order and handed the menu to Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi ordered a red-cooked fish and stir-fried pork kidney. Li Zhao and An Hao ordered a braised chicken with mushrooms and a stir-fried cabbage. With five people and six dishes, Qin Xue finally ordered a stir-fried vegetable heart before stopping.
The server closed the menu, took their order, and left the private room, closing the door. Qin Xue nodded, thinking that the server was doing a decent job.
Qin Xue picked up the cup to drink but saw it was tea and set it back down without drinking. Chu Molin noticed and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the tea?”
When Qin Xue noticed Chu Molin’s gaze, she said, “Oh, it’s nothing. I just can’t drink tea because I’m pregnant.”
“Oh, I see. Let me get a server to bring you a cup of plain water.” Chu Molin stood up and headed to the door.
“Wait, could you change An Hao’s tea to plain water too?” Qin Xue thought of when she had held An Hao’s wrist and checked her pulse earlier.
Chu Molin glanced at An Hao and then at Li Zhao, raising his eyebrows.
The others hadn’t heard what Qin Xue had said earlier, so they didn’t think anything of Qin Xue’s request for An Hao’s drink change.
But Chu Molin had heard just now that Qin Xue couldn’t drink tea because she was pregnant and had wanted to get her plain water instead.
Now that Qin Xue asked for An Hao’s tea to be changed as well, it was getting interesting. It seemed like his brother was going to be a father too.
But it seemed like they didn’t know about it yet. So, how did his little wife find out? The more they were together, the more he found his little wife to be like a mystery, and he wanted to peel off the layers of her mysterious veil.
Chu Molin opened the door and went out. The other four people inside were chatting.
“Qin Xue, how’s your clothing store business? I’ve only been there when you had your opening trial, and I haven’t visited since.” An Hao leaned towards Qin Xue, her elbow resting on the table, and her chin on her palm, looking at Qin Xue.
Qin Xue looked at An Hao and thought that such a carefree person would actually ask her about her business. What a surprise.
“It’s been great for the first few days. I haven’t been to the store since Chu
Molin came back. I’m planning to go after dinner. Do you want to come along?” Not only did Qin Xue want to check on the store, but she also wanted to see how well Guo Aiguo had prepared at the factory and whether they could start training tomorrow.
“Sure, I’ll go. I’ve got nothing to do at home, and it’s nice to be with you.” Chu Molin walked in with two cups of water and heard An Hao’s words.
He thought to himself: But I don’t want you to come! If you come, Li Zhao will come too, and it looks like Xiao Qi is coming today as well. How am I going to develop my relationship with Xue’er then?
“Xue’er, here, drink it slowly. The water is a bit hot. Don’t scald yourself. And here’s yours.” He placed one cup in front of Qin Xue and the other cup in front of An Hao.
“Wow, thanks, Molin! Hehe, I never thought I’d get to drink water poured by Molin himself. This is incredible! I’ll definitely finish it.” An Hao grinned at Chu Molin.
Chu Molin coldly looked at Li Zhao and gave him an eye signal: “Control your wife, she’s too clueless.
“Boss, she’s just like that. Don’t mind her. I just love her this way.” Li Zhao smiled at An Hao and gave Chu Molin a glance back.
“You’re hopeless. It’s like you’re the only one with a wife and I don’t have one.” Chu Molin arrogantly glared at Li Zhao..
