Chapter 699: Chapter 693: The Story of the Silver Bracelet
 

After hearing Qin Xue’s words, Chu Molin laughed and said, “Then do you know how to do it?”

“Of course, there’s a man who climbed over the wall into my house, isn’t there?” Qin Xue wanted to hit him. How dare he ask her if she knew how to steal a man! If she wanted to steal a man, what did it have to do with him?

“Well, you can steal this man, but not others,” Chu Molin joked with Qin Xue.

“You talk too much nonsense. Go and wash up quickly; what time is it, and you’re still standing here talking?” Qin Xue was speechless. Weren’t they tired?

“Understood, wife, is there hot water?” Chu Molin didn’t care whether he used cold or hot water, but his wife had told him before that he had to use hot water whenever he took a shower, so now he always puts her words first.

“Yes, go and get your own water to shower.” Qin Xue didn’t know when he would be back, but she had originally planned to heat water for herself to wash up, so there was water in the pot.

“Okay, what are you going to do?” Chu Molin asked his wife.

“Wash up and sleep, what else can I do? You really think I’m going to steal a man?” Qin Xue glared at him.

“You won’t,” Chu Molin said confidently.

“You are so certain?” Qin Xue was puzzled by what made him so sure.

“Yes. Go and wash up first, and when you’re done, I’ll wash.” Chu Molin wouldn’t be worth his salt if he didn’t have this level of confidence.

“Alright, the kids are asleep, so be careful not to wake them up, okay?” Qin Xue reminded him.

“Don’t worry, I won’t,” Chu Molin smiled.

Seeing this, Qin Xue went to the kitchen to fetch water for her shower. Sigh, not having a water heater in the shower room was so inconvenient. Washing up was such a hassle as she had to carry water.

It seemed like she should find a water heater sometime soon. Otherwise, it was genuinely inconvenient, especially in the dead of winter. When she wanted to take a bath and splashed water onto herself after taking off her clothes, she would shiver from the cold before the second splash had even landed. That feeling was just too painful.

After Qin Xue finished showering, she saw Chu Molin sitting there, laughing foolishly, not knowing what he was laughing about.

“What are you doing?” Qin Xue asked while drying her hair.

“Give me your hand.” Chu Molin stretched out his hand in front of Qin Xue.

“What for?” Qin Xue asked, puzzled, but she still stopped drying her hair and extended her hand.

Chu Molin didn’t say anything, just pulled her hand over and slipped a bracelet onto Qin Xue’s wrist.

“What is this?” Qinqin looked at the bracelet on her hand.

“I thought this bracelet would suit you, so I asked someone to bring it back. Do you like it?” Chu Molin thought her snow-white wrist looked beautiful with the bracelet. It was indeed perfect for her.

“I like it, but the bracelet looks expensive. Where did you get the money?” Qin Xue remembered that all of his assets were with her.

“My subsidy,” Chu Molin didn’t hide it from Qin Xue.

“Your subsidy isn’t enough, you see this bracelet, although it’s silver, the characters here look like an ancient script.” Qin Xue pointed to the characters on the bracelet.

“Yes, it’s said that this bracelet was worn by a Holy Maiden of a certain tribe,” Chu Molin said.

“Oh, Holy Maiden? Sounds mysterious. How did such a thing end up outside?” Qin Xue got more confused the more she listened.

“I only heard a little about it. It’s said that the Holy Maiden fell in love with a man, and they had an affair behind the tribe’s back. Later, the Holy Maiden was driven out of the tribe by the Humans with their child in her belly. But I don’t know what happened after that, and nobody knows. However, I thought it looked perfect for you the moment I laid my eyes on it, so I got it for you,” Chu Molin told her what he knew.
