Inside the gazebo at the top of South Hill Manor.
Rick and Qin Chu sat side by side, overlooking the city.
The two men’s hearts calmed down.
“Did you also not expect me to live such an ordinary life?” Rick asked Qin Chu.
“Well, I thought you’d be the next glamorous godfather of the underworld.”
“Heh, that’s not important to me. If something hadn’t happened to my brother… I wouldn’t have… I might still be here, managing the Seductive Fox bar that belongs to me. To me, being a bar owner is enough.”
“The trajectory of life isn’t something we can control. Most of the time… no matter how hard you try, the situation won’t develop the way you think. We call it destiny,” Qin Chu said.
“What? You’re getting old and you’re also influenced by chicken soup for the soul?” Rick teased.
Qin Chu also smiled faintly… He was still as handsome as ever.
“Chu…”
“Hm?”
“Did you and Huo Mian hold a wedding?”
Qin Chu’s eyes flickered and he fell silent…
“You love her so much, you don’t seem like someone who doesn’t care about giving her a status… Although the wedding is just a formality, it’s also a symbol of a lifetime commitment… Now that you two have three children, the children are already so big, and the two of you are past your thirties, are you really not going to hold the wedding?”
“That’s not what I intended, it’s Mian’s idea.”
“Then why did Huo Mian do it? She knew how much you loved her… She should know that you want to announce your happiness to the world…”
Rick didn’t understand what Huo Mian was doing.
They had all lost their memories of Su Yu, so Rick couldn’t remember why Huo Mian was so insistent.
“She didn’t say anything, and I didn’t ask. I didn’t want to make things difficult for her. You know, I never wanted to make things difficult for her,” Qin Chu said slowly.
“Do you want me to ask her for you?”
“No, it’s fine. We have everything except our wedding. Just like you said, our children are already so big. The whole world knows that Huo Mian is my wife, so it really doesn’t matter.”
“Really? If it’s true, you wouldn’t be so disappointed…”
As Qin Chu’s best friend, Rick knew that Qin Chu only had one regret.
After his wedding was ruined by Huo Siqian, Qin Chu wanted to prepare for a grand wedding.
To give his wife a beautiful memory, even the most beautiful memory of his life.
However, Huo Mian didn’t mention the wedding anymore. Whenever Qin Chu mentioned it, Huo Mian would subconsciously avoid it.
Qin Chu didn’t want to bring it up again. The twins were already 18 years old.
Huo Mian and Qin Chu were already middle-aged…
Rick didn’t think they should be like this…
Inside the South Hill Manor.
When Huo Mian arrived at the hospital, she had a simple meeting to deal with some work, then she came back early.
Gao Ran’s family arrived early, and Zhu Lingling helped Huo Mian wash the fruits everyone wanted for lunch.
She didn’t forget to complain, “Mian, let me tell you, haha… my heartless boy came straight to your house after leaving the airport.”
“I know, Little Bean and Yuanyuan went to pick Boyuan up,” Huo Mian said calmly.
“So is Boyuan the typical example of someone who forgets his mother after getting married? No, no… he has already forgotten about me before getting married… I’m so sad…”
“It’s alright. He’ll be filial to his parents-in-law in the future.”
“Get the hell out of my way… Your family took my son for yourself just like this.” Zhu Lingling pinched Huo Mian’s neck like she did when she was young.
“Where’s Xiaowei? Why is she so late today?” Huo Mian looked around but didn’t see Jiang Xiaowei.

Qiao Yuanyuan was joking with them when suddenly, there were seven to eight police officers blocking the road in front of them. They seemed to be investigating something.
“D*mn… No way… the traffic police…” Qiao Yuanyuan blurted out.
“It’s alright, we’re not drunk-driving.” Gao Boyuan looked at Qiao Yuanyuan and knew that she did not look like someone who had drunk alcohol.
Little Bean interrupted, “But she’s driving without a license. She’s only twelve.”
Gao Boyuan: “…”
“You two sit tight, I’ll just step on the accelerator…” Qiao Yuanyuan seemed to want to compete with the police.
“No, no, no. I’ll handle it.” Gao Boyuan didn’t want this cousin to take any risks.
At that moment, the police officers waved their hands to stop the car. Qiao Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment before she obediently stopped the car by the side.
After all, before she came back to China, her father had repeatedly warned her not to cause trouble for Auntie Huo Mian.
“Driving license.” A police officer waved at Qiao Yuanyuan who was sitting in the driver’s seat.
Just then, the window in the back seat winded down and Gao Boyuan stuck his head out. “You don’t have to call my dad, do you?”
Gao Ran was already a high-ranking official, and his son had appeared at the bureau many times, so there was no one who didn’t know him.
Upon seeing that he was the young master of a prominent family, the police quickly let them go.
“No need, no need. Take care.”
Gao Boyuan nodded and smiled.
Little Bean looked at Gao Boyuan with admiration and kissed him on the cheek.
“Oh my… Can you two control yourself? There’s a living person in front of you…” Qiao Yuanyuan almost closed her eyes.
“We can’t control ourselves. If you’re not used to it, you can get off the car and cool off for a while.”
Qiao Yuanyuan: “…”
Gao Boyuan’s return made the atmosphere even more lively. In front of South Hill Manor, the greenhouse had been holding banquets for several days.
Of course, they were only receiving close friends and relatives.
To everyone’s surprise, when Little Bean, Gao Boyuan, and Qiao Yuanyuan returned, Tang Tianjiao already had some bruises on his face and had dislocated his hand.
“How did it happen?” Gao Boyuan laughed, obviously gloating.
Qin Guoguo leaned against the door frame with an aloof expression. “He had a match with Tuantuan.”
“Hahahaha…” Little Bean laughed like a pig being slaughtered.
Qiao Yuanyuan, on the other hand, was calm and seemed to have expected it.
She even patted Tang Tianjiao’s shoulder and consoled him. “You’re really lucky. My sister didn’t go all out against you… The last time a child as old as you competed with my sister in the military academy, he was beaten up by my sister until all the bones in his body were broken. He had to stay there for three months straight.”
Tang Tianjiao shuddered when he heard what Qiao Yuanyuan said.
How scary was that? He was originally full of confidence. After all, he was a Taekwondo expert and had learned professional Muay Thai from his father.
Last year, Tang Chuan took his wife and children to Thailand for a business trip and stayed there for over a month.
In order to improve his son’s physical fitness, Tang Chuan hired a famous Muay Thai master to teach him personally.
Logically speaking, even though this kid was only twelve years old, he was very agile and could easily deal with five or six adults.
Even so, Tang Tianjiao was still beaten up by Qiao Tuantuan, who was as old as him.
“But I heard… Brother Ah Yao won yesterday… I thought I could…” Tang Tianjiao looked aggrieved.
He had never seen how skilled Qin Guoguo was, so he had underestimated Qiao Tuantuan’s abilities.
“Yesterday, I won by a narrow margin… Today, you were completely destroyed.” Qin Guoguo said calmly.
“Why do I feel like… you guys are setting me up…” Tang Tianjiao felt that something was amiss.
“You’re just finding excuses for yourself after you lost. You’re such a good-for-nothing,” Little Bean scolded him as she tried to cover up her intention to trick Tang Tianjiao.
Everyone laughed enigmatically…
“Oh yes, Brother Boyuan… Have you contacted Brother Yunchu? Is he not coming back?” Qin Guoguo asked Boyuan as he thought of something.
