"Honey, what are you doing?" On the other side of the call was Qin Chu’s warm voice.
"Working," Huo Mian spoke in a rushed tone, afraid that Mr. Qin would see a hole in her lies with his terrifying intelligence.
"Work? What work?" Qin Chu never asked what Huo Mian was working on.
Huo Mian was scared into feeling more and more guilty...
"Uh... just the usual, checking and observing on patients, holding meetings, et cetera."
"Oh, is that really it?" unassured, Qin Chu asked.
"Of course... I’m doing good, what’s up with you today? You’re so untrusting." Huo Mian was dying of guilt.
"My right eye keeps on twitching, and every time I’ve had this feeling, you’ve gotten into trouble," Qin Chu said nonchalantly.
Huo Mian almost dropped her phone out of horror...
"Ahem... so you’re suspicious that I’m causing trouble?" Huo Mian asked on purpose.
"Mhm."
"Eh, you’re thinking too much into it. I’m working, how could I cause trouble? You can be a hundred and twenty percent assured."
"Then be careful," still worried, Qin Chu instructed.
"Okay." Huo Mian nodded.
Hanging up, her tense heart finally relaxed. She was really afraid that Qin Chu would ask her to turn on the video camera.
If she were to turn on the video, she wouldn’t even have time to run outside. Ni Yang’s terrifying agent was guarding the door, and if she saw them drinking, she would probably scold Huo Mian’s head off.
"Phew... that was close," putting her phone into her pocket, Huo Mian let out a long breath.
"What’s wrong?" Ni Yang looked at her with a lost expression.
"My husband was checking on me. He forbids me from drinking. That was close, he almost found out."
"You’re married already?" Ni Yang was a little surprised, as Huo Mian looked so young.
"Yeah, I’m married," smiling, Huo Mian replied.
"You’re so young, and you are already married?!" Ni Yang didn’t seem to understand.
"Please, Mr. Big Star, who still cares about their age? The law states that the minimum marriage age for women is twenty, and twenty-two for men. Both my husband and I meet that requirement, so why can’t we get married?" Huo Mian never thought that she got married too early. Perhaps she knew that Qin Chu was the love of her life, so she never even considered that question.
However, the fact was, Huo Mian did get married early...
She was the youngest out of all her classmates because she skipped grades; she was three years younger than them.
However, there were quite a few classmates who were still unmarried. In comparison, she did get married early, since she was only 24 after all.
"No, I just think that it’s too early. Some people may be just starting their careers, which may be affected by an early marriage," Ni Yang slowly said.
Huo Mian nodded. "You’re not wrong, but I think it depends on your profession. People in your field shouldn’t get married early, and even if you do, it has to be a hidden marriage, as fans might not be able to take it. As a nurse, why would I need to care? Isn’t it normal to get married and have kids? It’s an important step in everyone’s lives."
"You’re right, Huo Mian, you do have a big heart. I feel like you’re very generous, unlike women who fuss over every little detail. I don’t know how you do it, you’re so young, so you shouldn’t be this calm and experienced, right?" Ni Yang asked.
