My Youth Began With Him

“Yeah.” Huo Mian nodded; that was exactly what she wanted to ask him.

Why wasn’t the president of the Huo Corporation eating lunch at high-end seafood or western restaurant?

It felt a little off that he would come to eat at South Side’s noisy cafeteria.

“Because… I miss the food here.” Huo Siqian instinctively wanted to tell Huo Mian that he missed her, but the latter probably wasn’t mentally prepared for that. Therefore, he decided to say something completely unrelated.

“Crazy dude…” Huo Mian looked down and cursed at Huo Siqian as she ate; sure, South Side’s food improved by a lot, but it wasn’t that good.

Huo Siqian was truly crazy…

“You look well…” Huo Siqian smiled as he looked at Huo Mian in all seriousness.

She immediately touched her face and said, “Yeah, I’m preparing my body for pregnancy, so I’ve been eating everything, whether it’s ginseng, velvet antler, chicken soup, or Chinese medicine. With supplements like that, of course I look well.”

“Truth be told… you don’t have to put yourself through so much. Why are you in such a hurry to have children? You’re still young.” Huo Siqian smiled.

“Qin Chu and I both like children. It has nothing to do with age,” Huo Mian calmly expressed her opinion.

Huo Siqian noticed that Huo Mian had a great appetite and was eating a lot of meat, so he picked up his chopsticks and placed the untouched meat in his plate onto Huo Mian’s.

“I…” Huo Mian was just about to say she didn’t want any when Huo Siqian interrupted her, “My blood pressure has been high recently, and the doctor said I can’t have too much meat. Could it be that I actually have to live my life like a monk in the future?”

Upon hearing what he said, Huo Mian burst out in laughter…

“What are you laughing about?”

“High blood pressure isn’t that serious. Watch your diet and avoid spicy and oily foods, as well as foods with high protein. You should also exercise more, and if by then your blood pressure is still high, you can take some pills to control it. However, I don’t recommend that, since many things can be fixed by adjusting your diet and exercising more.”

“Got it. You’re acting more and more like a doctor. You’re a rich woman now, I heard that your annual salary jumped up to 1.2 million yuan after you were promoted to a chief physician.”

“You sure know a lot…” Huo Mian smiled as she looked down, proud of herself.

The increase in her salary really was a pleasant surprise… South Side was a high-end hospital to begin with, so even regular physicians earned up to 600,000 yuan a year.

Therefore, it was only natural for her, a chief physician, to earn double the salary.

At one time in her life, an annual salary of 1.2 million was something she would never even dare to dream of. However, today, it had become a reality.

Huo Mian was good at financing; she sends ten thousand yuan or so every month to her mother, spends a portion, and saves the rest for Zhixin’s marriage down the road…

Qin Chu’s monthly salary was still deposited into her card, so Huo Mian was super wealthy.

“Director Wu praises you every time I see him, so of course I know about your raise.”

“Shh… we need to keep things on the down-low,” Huo Mian said as she put a finger on her lips and ‘shushed’ him.

Huo Siqian felt his heart melting upon seeing her cute expression; he felt the urge to pull her to him and kiss her with all his might…

But… he had to swallow that urge. Huo Mian was slow to warm up to others, so those who wanted to court her had to take their time.

If they were in such a hurry, things might go against their wishes…

Huo Mian frowned upon noticing the oddness in Huo Siqian’s expression. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Like what?” Huo Siqian.

“You look like a dog looking at a bone…”

Huo Siqian was immediately rendered speechlessness.

“Mian, my little sister, can’t you use another metaphor? This one sounds really weird…”

However, Huo Mian ignored him and continued eating with her head down…

“Oh, right, Huo Yanyan used to treat you really badly, right? Do you want revenge? I can ruin her life for you, it’ll be really easy,” Huo Siqian said as he smiled wickedly.
