My Youth Began With Him

Just then, a large shadow swept her into its arms in an instant.

Huo Mian calmed down a lot after she took a whiff of the familiar scent.

“Honey, you’re back?” Huo Mian hugged Qin Chu.

“Why aren’t you more careful?”

“I was taking a shower… I forgot to wear anti-slip slippers. It’s good that you came back… just in time to catch me. Otherwise, I would’ve fallen on my face.” Huo Mian stuck her tongue out.

Suddenly, Qin Chu released Huo Mian and pushed her away coldly.

“I heard that you were with Jiang Ye at the Nantian Springs yesterday. When did you get so close to him?” Qin Chu interrogated coldly.

Huo Mian was confused by Master Qin’s sudden change in attitude. She glanced at the door and saw Cai Yue the maid, who was pretending to mop the floor, and she realized what was going on instantly.

She said deliberately, “Yes, but we met by accident… it wasn’t planned. I didn’t know he was going to be there.”

“That’s not what I asked. What I want to know is… how do you know him? Don’t you know who he is?”

“Of course Ido… but he’s just a friend.”

“A friend? You really have a lot of friends. Su Yu is your friend. Your ex, Ning Zhiyuan is also your friend… Mian, aren’t you too popular?”

“Qin Chu, what are you trying to say?”

“You know damn well what I’m trying to say!”

“We had a busy day. I really don’t want to argue with you.” Huo Mian sighed heavily.

“I don’t want to argue either but you’ve really crossed the line. You even took the kids out to see a man? Is that really appropriate?” Qin Chu was infuriated.

“How dare you question me? What about you? I went to the company at lunch today and the entire finance department’s talking about you and Zhang Manlin. Do you really think I don’t know anything? And please, don’t tell me there’s nothing going on. Bella told me how you would put off work to leave early. Who knows what you’re doing?!”

“Bella’s so done. How dare she gossip about me?” Qin Chu’s expression was heavy.

“If you didn’t do anything, she would have nothing to gossip about. And you’re talking about how I don’t care about the children… What about you? You’re never home these days and you decline every chance to take the kids out. You said you’re busy but you have time for Zhang Manlin, right? You were even photographed by the paparazzi. Do you know big this scandal is? Do you know how embarrassed I am in front of my friends? You’re making headlines and I’m the one who’s not thinking about the family?!” Huo Mian screamed hysterically.

“Mian, you’re really becoming more and more unreasonable.”

“I’m unreasonable? God! Are you serious?! This society is so unfair. If a man cheats, everyone thinks nothing of it. He just needs to apologize and everybody moves on as if nothing happened. Then he’ll keep both his wife at home and his mistress outside. But, when there are rumors about a woman having an affair, everyone talks about her and condemns her before anything is proven. I haven’t even done anything but I’m already the bad one in everyone’s eyes, right?”

“Mian… you weren’t like this before. Look at yourself; you’re acting like a crazy woman. I really have no words.”

“I wasn’t like this before because we were in love… but now? You’re tired of me. I’m no longer young and fun so you want to trade up. You miss the young me so you’re going after Zhang Manlin.”

“That’s all bull. It’s all false. The media likes to play up every non-existent rumor and you believe them? What happened to your high IQ?”
