"Why would she go looking for you?"
"Who knows, maybe she wants to see what Qin Chu’s wife looked like."
"Haha... she sure is curious." Qin Chu barely gave a reaction.
Qin Chu only knew Song Yishi from when she was 8 years old, and he barely remembered her...
Throughout these years, he occasionally heard Mayor Song or his mother mention this person...
Qin Chu truly felt nothing towards Song Yishi...
But she was pretty good at giving herself a sense of presence after returning to China...
Just yesterday, she came to have lunch with him and today, she went looking for Huo Mian.
"She had lunch with me at South Side but didn’t say much. She is really pretty... and really elegant, very much like a socialite. Too bad I just don’t like her."
"Is it because you treat her as your romantic rival?"
"Isn’t she?" Huo Mian answered with a question.
"Of course she isn’t, there’s nothing going on between us... Plus, we haven’t seen each other in 18 years. Don’t tell me you’re jealous of her, there’s really no point..."
Qin Chu smiled, and continued typing and organizing documents...
"Fine, you have a point... what am I so worried about?"
Huo Mian’s entire brain was filled with Ni Yang’s stuff, and she completely forgot about Song Yishi.
After she showered, Huo Mian came back downstairs...
Qin Chu had already made her a sandwich and warmed up a glass of milk.
"Thanks, Honey... you’re the best."
Huo Mian hugged Qin Chu and nuzzled his chin...
Then, she began wolfing down the sandwich, completely disregarding her image. Perhaps she was just too hungry.
"Slow down... or your stomach will hurt." Qin Chu felt angry and amused as he looked at his wife eat.
"I’m hungry..." Huo Mian looked like as if she had been wronged.
She devoured the sandwich and the milk in ten minutes...
Then, Huo Mian sat down on the couch and told Qin Chu about Ni Yang’s family.
Qin Chu listened quietly...
"That’s the entire story."
"It’s pretty complicated... no wonder Ni Yang is suffering from depression," Qin Chu sighed faintly.
"Yeah... he could write a book about his life experience, titled ’Miserable World’. It really is miserable... did you know how many times I wanted to cry today? Shuai Shuai is only 13 years old, I feel so bad for him. He lied there slowly waiting to die..."
Huo Mian’s heart throbbed for that poor child...
"Let’s pay for the surgical fees. Tell the doctors to quickly schedule it, uremia needs to be treated as soon as possible."
As a medical professional, Qin Chu was well aware of these common diseases...
"I know, I’ll schedule the surgery as soon as I get to work tomorrow."
"Okay, Honey, don’t work yourself too hard. Come, lie down, I’ll give you a massage."
"Yay!"
Huo Mian looked excited as she lied down on Qin Chu’s leg...
She closed her eyes as his big hands massaged her head...
The massage was good, and it felt nice...
But soon, his hands began trailing down her body...
"Honey... just massage my head, you don’t have to massage my boobs," Huo Mian said shyly.
"I do, doctors specializing in cardio say if this part of the body is frequently massaged, it will achieve magical results," Qin Chu said in all seriousness.
"What magical results?" Huo Mian really believed him.
"An A will turn into a B, a C will turn into a D."
Huo Mian, "..."
She shot up as soon as she realized that she had been played...
"Come here, Mr. Qin, I promise I won’t kill you."
While the Qin couple fooled around at home...
- At Su Yu’s private mansion -
Tang Chuan said on purpose, "I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Good news."
"The good news is... you have an ally."
"An ally?" Su Yu furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
"The bad news is... Huo Mian is faced with a tough opponent, that woman’s really something... I think if you form an alliance with her... you might be able to break the 7-year relationship between Qin Chu and Huo Mian." Tang Chuan smiled slyly.
"First, tell me who that woman is." Su Yu really had no idea; Tang Chuan was a gossip, so he was exposed to more back alley news.
