No one spoke on the other side of the lineā¦
For some strange reason, Huo Mian felt a strong feeling budding up in her mindā¦
āQin Chuā¦ Is that you?ā Huo Mian couldnāt suppress the excitement in her voice.
There was still no response.
Huo Mian never even considered that it might be some psycho just calling to mess around, nor did she think that it was some childās prank.
She had the feeling that the person on the other side of the line was the owner of the voice she wanted to hear fromā¦
āQin Chuā¦ If it is you, can you please say something? Even if you arenāt coming back nowā¦ please just let me know that you are still aliveā¦ā Huo Mianās voice was shaking.
After three secondsā¦
The call ended.
āBeep, beep, beepā¦ā
Huo Mian hastily grabbed her phone, trying to call back the numbers that showed up.
āāSorry, the number you have called does not exist. Please check the number and dial again.ā
Huo Mianās heart sank when she heard those wordsā¦
Why would it be a nonexistent number? Why didnāt that person say anything? Wasnāt it that number that had just tried calling her?
She was rather rattled. She wanted to talk to someone but then thought people might think she was crazy and made up the story because she missed Qin Chu so much.
She knew very clearly though, that this was no hallucinationā¦
ā In Seattle, America ā
Qin Chu hung up the phoneā¦
He let out a long sigh. Then, he got up slowlyā¦
Just now, he almost said something to Huo Mian.
However, why would it matter if he said something? The problems havenāt been solved yetā¦
He still needed to undergo one last leg restorative surgery. He still didnāt know if he would be disabled forever or if he could luckily recover.
He didnāt want people to look at his wife and daughters with discriminatory looks when they walked on the streets together.
He wouldnāt allow people to say, āHey, your husbandās crippledā¦ā
āHey, your dadās crippledā¦ā
Qin Chu was a proud person and this was something he would not tolerate.
It was darkā¦
Qin Chu held a picture that he cherishedā¦
Huo Mian was wearing a pink maternity dress, one arm holding Pudding and the other arm, Little Bean.
She looked down at them and smiled gentlyā¦
At that moment, the world seemed to soften because of her soft smileā¦
Qin Chu held onto the picture firmlyā¦ His fingers slightly shaking.
āMianā¦ Iām sorryā¦ā
A few days later, Su Yu cleared his schedule so he could go shopping with Huo Mian.
They drove to the supermarket and bought a bunch of decorations for the twinsā one month birthday. They bought balloons, a Christmas treeā¦
They were both tired but still continued with enthusiasmā¦
Su Yu bought whatever he sawā¦ Huo Mian however, maintained her composure.
Otherwise, they would be very compulsive shoppers.
It was almost noon. Huo Mian looked at her watch and said, āItās already 12. Iām hungry, letās go and eat.ā
āSureā¦ What do you want to eat?ā
āAnythingās fine. As long as we fill ourselves, Iām good. Iām just really tiredā¦ā Huo Mian smiled.
āWhat about Korean barbeque?ā
āSure. However, you have to promise me something first.ā Huo Mian acted very mysteriously.
āWhat is it?ā Su Yu was confused.
āYou have to let me pay for it, alright?ā Huo Mian blinked and smiled.
āSureā¦ Itās rare for Doctor Huo to treat me to lunch. I shall let her.ā
The two couldnāt help but start laughingā¦
After arranging for the things they bought to be delivered back to the mansion, Huo Mian and Su Yu drove to a nearby high-end Korean barbeque restaurant.
There would always be a long line outside this restaurant.
The dƩcor was rather nice and the flooring used Korean tatami.
The beef there was top-grade and fresh. Many people would come and try because of the restaurantās good reputation.
The minimum for a two-person meal would 1,000 Yuan.
Even when it was so expensive, it was rather amazing to see how so many people would still line up for itā¦
When Huo Mian saw so many people lining up, she second-guessed her decision. āThere are so many people here. Letās goā¦ Iād be famished by the time we get in.ā
āItās okay, wait here for a second.ā Su Yu walked over and began talking to a waiter.
