After a moment of hesitation, Huo Mian decided to pick up...
As she picked up the phone, she walked out of the private room...
"Hello?"
"Happy birthday Mian." At the other end of the phone, Ning Zhiyuan’s voice sounded somewhat hoarse.
"Thank you." Huo Mian’s voice only sounded calm and distant.
"Mian, I miss you so much."
"Ning Zhiyuan, let me warn you, you’re now Wu Xiaoxue’s husband, and you are about to be the father of her child. Please always keep that in mind."
Huo Mian wanted to laugh when she heard Ning Zhiyuan say that he missed her.
Where did he go when she needed his help the most? His true nature was disloyalty and betrayal.
"Mian, I really regret... not listening to your explanations back then. I should have trusted you, and I shouldn’t have done all of those things to hurt you. I know that you won’t forgive me, but I only want to repent. I’ve been living in regret and am extremely upset at myself. Why did I not treasure you, when God had given me such a wonderful girl?"
Ning Zhiyuan seemed to have been drinking, so there were hints of aggressiveness in his tone.
Huo Mian only silently listened and didn’t have any emotional responses...
"No one... sells medicine that cures regret in this world. Life is a one-way ride, and everyone needs to take responsibility for the choices they’ve made. Maybe this was destined. Thank you for the birthday wish, and... don’t ever call me again, because I don’t think we need to keep in touch."
Before Ning Zhiyuan could speak, Huo Mian hung up the phone...
She was a very resolute person, as she would never want to be entangled in anything after the relationship ended...
Plus, she would never remain friends with an ex-boyfriend after a break-up, because she didn’t have a heart big enough to forgive all the things that happened in the past.
If it wasn’t because her number was linked to her name, she would’ve gotten a new number a long time ago, or else it would cause her a lot of trouble and frustration if Ning Zhiyuan called her whenever he wanted to...
Luckily, Qin Chu wasn’t the jealous type, or else it would definitely cause misunderstandings between the two of them...
After Huo Mian finished talking on the phone in the hallway of the nightclub, she turned around to head back into the room.
When suddenly a familiar voice sounded from behind her. "Mian, my little sister."
Without turning around, Huo Mian knew that this person was Huo Siqian because only he shamelessly called her ’Little Sister’ all the time."
Plus, he had been calling her like that for seven years...
Really, she and Huo Siqian have known each other for seven years now...
When she began dating Qin Chu, Huo Siqian also unknowingly found his way into her life.
Even though Huo Mian never accepted this identity of hers, Huo Siqian still stubbornly called her ’Little Sister’ for seven years.
For outsiders who didn’t know the story, they might think that they were in a great relationship because the nickname sounded very intimate.
"Why do I see you everywhere I go?" Huo Mian felt annoyed, as she turned around to coldly look at Huo Siqian.
He wore an orange shirt, with the buttons all opened and his chest showing, going full-on playboy style.
He held onto a big-breasted foreign girl with one hand and looked like a wealthy playboy.
Who would imagine that this was the president of the Huo Corporation and the famous prince of the Huo Family?
"That means we’ve been blessed by destiny... Little Sister Mian, I heard from the old man that you’re planning on returning to the Huo Family?" Huo Siqian asked with a smile.
"Yes." Huo Mian nodded; she didn’t see the need to lie.
"That’s great, welcome back."
"Aren’t you worried that I’ll join forces with the old man to fight against you?" Huo Mian looked at him with suspicion.
"If you’re fighting against me, then I’d be more than happy to accept," laughed Huo Siqian.
"Humph, don’t try to flatter me, only an idiot will believe you." Huo Mian knew that Huo Siqian was incredibly smart and had unknown methods, or else he wouldn’t have climbed to where he was today and gained control over the majority of the Huo Corporation. He even pushed the old man and his mistress into desperation, so she would never believe what he said. It was all a smoke screen; he was the best at doing stuff like that...
Huo Mian turned to leave after she spoke...
However, Huo Siqian suddenly walked up to her, and he took something out from nowhere, stuffing it in Huo Mian’s hand.
"Here, your birthday present." Huo Siqian smiled nonchalantly.
