Huo Mian was astonished. “But planes and submarines are big, right? Did no one notice?”
“We had screens up to block radar detection so we were basically invisible.”
“That’s a lot of work.”
Huo Mian looked at her father and Lu Yan. She realized how much trouble they had to go through to celebrate her birthday with her.
They literally had to cross mountains and seas. They flew and they dived and they swam. It was a big mission.
“Then when you got on the boat, you disguised yourselves as captain and deck staff?” Huo Mian seemed to understand what was going on.
“Yes.” Lu Yan quickly nodded.
Huo Mian turned over to Qin Chu and asked, “Did Yan tell you that Zeng Rou was tapping into our conversations?” She tried to figure out the big picture.
“Yes.” Qin Chu didn’t expect Zeng Rou to bug Huo Mian at first.
What was more was that Zeng Rou’s equipment was very high technology, the type the army used. That was why even Qin Chu was not prepared for it.
Lu Yan first surveyed the ship for bugs when she got on. When she found out, she immediately notified Qin Chu to get rid of the bug on Huo Mian.
Only then could they reunite.
“Sis, in order to see you, me and Dad used all our brain power… You got to treat us well.”
“Tell me what you want to eat. I can get you anything, including a slice of immortality.”
Huo Mian could barely suppress her delight as she held onto Lu Yan’s hand.
“Sis, I’ll pass on a slice of immortality. I bragged about how your dumplings were delicious to Dad…”
“I’ll make them! I’ll make them now…”
Then Huo Mian turned to Qin Chu and said, “Honey…”
“I’ll prepare the ingredients for you. Wait here…”
Qin Chu knew what Huo Mian wanted to say.
“Dad, how are you?”
It had been a long time since Huo Mian last saw the Professor.
Last time, it was at an amusement park in America.
That time, they didn’t have much interaction. All they could do was chat on the phone a couple of times.
The time before that was when the Professor operated on Qin Chu but she was locked up on an isolated island by Huo Siqian, so she didn’t properly see the Professor.
Huo Mian thought she had once dreamt about this day before.
“It’s great. I’ve been great. You’re giving birth soon, right?”
The Professor saw how big Huo Mian’s stomach was now and felt many feelings.
“Soon.”
“Dad, didn’t I tell you that you’ll have a grandson soon…” Lu Yan teased.
“I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl. It’s happiness either way.” The Professor kept nodding with many emotions showing on his face.
Just then, Huo Mian recalled something. She asked Lu Yan, “Yan, why did you come alone? Where’s Qiao Fei?”
“Ahem… I sent him off…”
“To where?” Huo Mian asked with surprise.
“Las Vegas…” Lu Yan said, feeling slightly guilty.
If she didn’t seduce him with her body, allowing Qiao Fei to feel lucky, he would never have left.
If Qiao Fei didn’t help, Lu Yan and Professor wouldn’t have been able to cross the border so smoothly.
In Malaysia, Ian stared at his laptop but saw no results.
“Any news with Lu Yan?” Ian was scared that Lu Yan would play tricks on him so he had people observing her every move.
“Boss, Lu Yan and Qiao Fei are in a casino in Las Vegas. They’re quite lucky. I heard they won millions…”
“How can she be so composed?” Ian said with annoyance.
