Taking in the familiar scent, Qin Chu’s heart calmed down immediately.
“Baby.” Qin Chu placed his hands on top of Huo Mian’s pale, little ones.
“Yup.”
“Why are you here?”
“I miss you.” Huo Mian hugged Qin Chu’s neck lovingly, pressing her face against his.
“Why didn’t you call?”
“To check in on you of course! I wanted to see if you were messing around with your assistant behind my back…” Huo Mian teased.
“You know you’re disrespecting Assistant Yang, right?” Qin Chu looked amused.
“What if one day he goes to Thailand and gets surgery? That’s not impossible, right?”
“Why don’t I call him here so you can ask him yourself?” Qin Chu chuckled.
“Noo, haha, I’m just joking… why are you like this?” As Huo Mian stood up, Qin Chu hugged her tightly, unwilling to let her go.
“Am I heavy?”
“Yes.” Qin Chu nodded.
“Are you trying to die? Calling me fat…” Huo Mian was just about to give Master Qin a punch but his voice sounded.
“You’ve already carried a lot of weight in my heart.”
His words instantly melted Huo Mian’s heart…
She held onto Qin Chu’s neck even tighter…
Qin Chu laughed and tapped her hands. “Baby, I can’t breathe. Are you trying to strangle me to death?”
“Honey.”
“Hm?”
“I won’t disappear… I won’t disappear ever again… I’ll always be by your side.”
“I know.”
“So you’ll always be with me too. Don’t get tired of me, okay?”
“I won’t.”
“Even if I get old… and ugly… you can’t get tired of me…” Huo Mian emphasized.
“Babe, you weren’t exactly beautiful when you were younger either, alright?”
Huo Mian: “…”
“We’re done.” Huo Mian pouted.
“Don’t, don’t, I’m joking.”
“We are so done.” Huo Mian turned away.
“Didn’t someone just promise me to never disappear?” Master Qin immediately pulled out his best card.
“What… wow I’m learning the meaning of digging my own grave.” Huo Mian laughed out loud.
“Hungry? Let’s go eat something?” Qin Chu looked at Mian dotingly, his heart filled with happiness.
“Nope, I already ate at Wei’s place.”
“You went to see Professor Jiang?”
“Yep.”
“You didn’t go shopping?”
“No, I went to her place for a visit. She’s really been hooked on flower arrangements recently.”
Huo Mian didn’t mention anything about Qin Chu’s condition; she didn’t want him to know what she had found out.
If he wanted to keep it a secret, she was going to make sure to play along.
“Oh, that’s a good thing. She’s so manly… it’s good that she’s becoming more feminine,” Qin Chu commented.
“Honey, I brought you lunch.”
“Oh? A surprise?” Qin Chu was definitely surprised.
“Yes, guess what it is.” Huo Mian smiled mysteriously.
“What do I get if I get it right?”
“I’ll give you a kiss.”
“No, that’s not enough. I want a five-minute-long kiss.” Master Qin was frank.
“You’re such a pervert…” Huo Mian smiled shyly.
“If I don’t get it right, I’ll give you a kiss,” Qin Chu teased.
“Psh, in your dreams. If you guess correctly, you can give me 1,000,000. You can give it to me through WeChat.” Huo Mian looked proud.
“So, Honey, you’re not here to give me lunch. You’re here to defraud me out of money, right?” Master Qin was utterly speechless.
“So, are you going to guess? You only have one chance.”
“Where is it?” Qin Chu asked.
“I hid it.”
Qin Chu: “…”
