Chapter 602: Seeking Out Qin Wenze

’My wife still isn’t back, and it’s so late,’ Qin Wenhao thought.

How could he possibly get to sleep?

"I was waiting for you. Oh, right, let me make you something to eat!"

Fu Mingxue shook her head. "No, it’s okay. I’m not hungry."

She had pastries in her dimensional space; eating a few was enough to fill her up.

"Did you get the train tickets?"

"I did. Two of them. I’ll go with you, and it’ll be a good chance for me to head back to my unit."

Fu Mingxue was a little surprised. ’Is he worried about me?’

But then again, it was about time for him to return to his unit anyway.

"Okay, then. I’m going to go shower first."

Fu Mingxue went into the room to grab her clothes.

When she returned to the room after her shower, Qin Wenhao was already in bed.

Fu Mingxue had planned on reading for a bit, but she decided against it.

As she walked over and was about to lie down, she remembered something.

"When I was leaving today, that Gao Lan came and cornered me."

Hearing this, Qin Wenhao’s brow furrowed.

"What did she want?"

Fu Mingxue didn’t hide anything.

"She said she wanted to buy my courtyard house. After I told her it wasn’t for sale, she asked if she could stay there instead. In any case, I didn’t mince words with her."

Qin Wenhao’s face darkened. "I understand. I’ll talk to Qin Wenze tomorrow."

"That works." Fu Mingxue had also been hoping Qin Wenhao would talk to his older brother.

The main reason was that she didn’t have time at the moment. Otherwise, she would have gone to the Qin family residence to talk to her mother-in-law about Gao Lan.

’If they’re not going to be civil, why should I hold back?’

Most importantly, she was worried that after she and Qin Wenhao left, Gao Lan wouldn’t give up and would come looking for her mother.

"Let’s not talk about her anymore. It’s late. Let’s get some sleep."

"Okay."

Fu Mingxue had been very busy the past few days, so she was quite tired.

In fact, apart from the three days and two nights on the train, this was the earliest she had gone to bed since she’d been home.

Qin Wenhao wasn’t thinking about anything else, either.

After all, his grandfather had just passed away—he wasn’t some kind of animal.

Still, he had to hold his soft, sweet-smelling wife.

It helped him sleep.

The couple fell asleep quickly.

Both were the type to fall asleep in an instant.

「The next day.」

When Fu Mingxue woke up, the space beside her was already empty.

She lay in bed for a minute before getting up and heading outside.

"Qin Wenhao, why on earth did you buy so much coal this early in the morning?"

"Aren’t we leaving tomorrow? I figured I’d buy some extra coal and firewood for Mom today."

In addition to that, Qin Wenhao also planned to buy more rice and flour.

Fu Mingxue was dumbfounded.

She went to wash up.

The breakfast Mrs. Fu made was quite sumptuous.

It was filled with all of Fu Mingxue’s favorite dishes.

"Mom, I think I’ll be back for a visit around April."

Director Liu had mentioned wanting her to accompany him to the Canton Fair. He said a factory in the south had a new engine that was just as good as the one they were currently developing.

This piqued her interest.

’It’s a good chance to see what kinds of advanced technology will be at the fair.’

"You’ll be back in April? That’s just a little over two months away."

After all, it was already February.

Qin Wenhao ate breakfast with them and then went out again.

This time, however, he was going to find Qin Wenze.

Qin Wenze was quite surprised to see him.

After all, his younger brother usually acted as if he couldn’t stand the sight of him.

Yet here he was, seeking him out.

This made him very happy.

"Wenhao, what did you need to see me about?"

Qin Wenhao’s expression was grim. "Qin Wenze, you need to get your wife under control. Tell her to stop getting ideas about my wife’s courtyard house. My wife has no time to get tangled up with her. She’s very busy with work."
