My Youth Began With Him

“Of course I’m not quitting. We’re individuals, so we shouldn’t rely on the other to survive. I don’t want to be a housewife who does nothing but stay at home and spends money, that’s just not me. I like staying a flight attendant, and maybe I’ll become the head of the crew in a few years. I don’t want to hinder Gao Rao, so I’m going to become outstanding enough to stand by his side. Just like how you worked hard to become amazing, so you could stand by Qin Chu…”

Upon hearing Qin Chu’s name, Huo Mian sank into brief silence.

“Mian, do you still miss Qin Chu?”

“Mhm.”

“Have you ever thought about what you’re going to do if he really died? Are you going to wait for him forever?”

Zhu Lingling refrained from asking this question because she didn’t want to hurt Huo Mian, but it seemed like the latter had anticipated all the possible outcomes…

That’s why she decided to ask, although she was still worried about Huo Mian’s reaction.

“Lingling, I thought of that already. If Qin Chu really… doesn’t come back, then I’m going to raise our children and be a good mother. Then when it’s time, I’m going to go look for him in his world…”

“What about Su Yu? Are you really not going to give him a chance? Look at how he treats you.”

Zhu Lingling was a fan of Qin Chu, but after what happened to him, she slowly began to admire Su Yu, because he was the one who pulled Huo Mian away from death time and again.

Everyone could see his sincerity towards Huo Mian.

Upon hearing this name, Huo Mian fell silent again. After a while, she said, “I will never be able to pay Su Yu back for his kindness…”

Zhu Lingling immediately understood what she meant by that. “Mhm, no matter what you decide, you have my full support. I will support you and your decisions until the day I die.”

“Gosh, girl, stop being so cheesy. Let’s talk about the details. Which hotel is the wedding going to be held at?”

“Gao Ran’s parents said they wanted to go low-key, so they booked Huaxia International Hotel.”

“When is it going to start?”

“The ceremony’s going to start at 9 AM, but come earlier if you can.”

“Okay, I got it.”

“I’m going to start busying about now. Gosh, you can’t leave the house, or I would’ve asked for your help. Plus, Xiaowei’s almost due… you guys suck!”

Huo Mian laughed; after hanging up, she went straight to bed.

– The next morning –

After breakfast, Mrs. Su and the maid left for the market. They heard that fish was good for pregnant women, so Mrs. Su began buying wild fish for Huo Mian.

Grandpa Su, on the other hand, went to Jing City for a conference, so aside from the other maids and bodyguards, Huo Mian was the only one left at home.

When Su Yu brought Ni Yang in, Huo Mian was arranging flowers.

“Sister Mian!” Ni Yang was genuinely happy to see Huo Mian.

“Hey, you’re here! Come and have a seat.”

“You guys talk, I need to get something upstairs.” Su Yu found an excuse to go upstairs, giving the two of them some space to talk.

“What’s that in your hand?” Huo Mian glanced at the basket in Ni Yang’s hands.

“Oh, my mom asked me to bring you some organic eggs. She raised the chickens herself, they’re really good for you…”

“Thank your mom for me, will you?” Huo Mian smiled.

Ni Yang, wearing a handsome beige jacket and pants, walked up to Huo Mian and sat down beside her.

“How are things between you and Jie?” she asked him with a smile.
