Huo Mian: “…”
“Ha. Your tone is weird…”
Huo Mian knew Mr. Qin was still angry at her for walking into the human traffickers’ den.
He hadn’t talked to her much after they returned. He’d get into bed after she fell asleep each night.
She had thought Mr. Qin would feel better after a few days, but it seemed he was becoming more furious each day.
“It’s not. Aren’t you Vice Director Huo?”
“Honey… Let’s stop this cold war, okay?”
“Cold war? I dare not to have one with you… After all, our son is in your belly…”
“Mr. Qin, I truly regret my mistakes… Please don’t be mad at me…”
“You didn’t make any mistakes, Your Majesty. How can you make a mistake? You’re so great that nothing is difficult for you…”
“Tell me what I should do to gain your forgiveness.”
She got off bed bare-footed and threw her arms around his neck.
“Put on slippers. It’s cold on the floor.”
“Not until we talk it out.”
“Talk what out?” Qin Chu looked confused.
“You’re mad at me and called me ‘Vice Director’… Hmph! I won’t put on slippers; I don’t care if I’ll catch a cold… Your son will suffer with me. His dad doesn’t love us anymore.”
“Who said that?”
“Isn’t it the truth? Our family head Mr. Qin is mad, and the consequences are severe…”
Qin Chu didn’t speak; instead, he picked her up and placed her gently on the bed. Then he squatted down and put slippers on her feet.
His movements were gentle and careful. As her cold feet touched Qin Chu’s warm fingers, she knew no one loved her more than Qin Chu did. The feelings went beyond the love between a man and a woman; they were bonded together and couldn’t be separated.
“Honey, I know you’re mad at me… You and Yan keep many things from me probably because they are too bloody and too horrible… so I always think I’m lucky and smart and won’t get in trouble; but if something happens to me, your pain is the most acute. I was being selfish this time. Please don’t be mad at me, okay? If you don’t want me to go out, I’ll talk to Director Wu and quit my job tomorrow. I’ll stay at home until our baby is born.
Holding his shoulders, Huo Mian said the words at his ear with a solemn expression.
Qin Chu just loved her too much to let it go.
Huo Mian was sometimes too willful and too confident in herself for his peace of mind.
Although she had come back safe, the process was so horrible that Qin Chu didn’t dare to touch those memories.
If those guys got their hands on her, he couldn’t imagine what would happen. After all, they were not Huo Siqian or Shen Jiani; they were true outlaws.
“Mian, you’ll never know how I feel when I’m worried about you.”
“I know. I know.”
“No, you don’t understand… I can’t describe it, but I know if something happens to you, my life will also be gone…”
“I know it now. Honey, please don’t be mad, okay? Look at the poor pregnant woman; her feet are as swollen as pig legs.”
Huo Mian distracted him by pointing at her feet.
Qin Chu lifted her feet onto his knees and massaged them gently.
“Honey, do you think Zeng Rou truly loves Su Yu?” Huo Mian wanted to hear Qin Chu’s opinion about it.
