My Youth Began With Him

Australia wasn’t a strange place for Huo Mian; she liked traveling and had studied many beautiful small towns all over the world.

Tasmania was one of them.

As a well-known town in Australia, it had a good location and beautiful sceneries; it was only 240 km away from Victoria.

Huo Mian had always thought she had been kidnapped to a distant island off Africa, but to her surprise and delight, she was in Australia, which meant she wasn’t too far from home.

“Miss Huo, sorry for my frankness, but I just don’t understand why you dislike my boss; he’s so good to you.”

Riley hadn’t met Huo Mian before, but he had heard about her a lot because she was the only woman Huo Siqian had loved and longed for.

“What’s your logic? Do you mean you must marry the girl who’s good to you?” Huo Mian chuckled.

Riley: “…”

“Love is the most unreasonable thing in the world. We can’t explain it, but it must be reciprocal. Love itself is beautiful and miraculous, not a painful forced relationship. As for your boss’s obsession with me, I must say it stems from his unhappiness in his past, so he can’t bear to see happiness in other people. Your boss can never be as good to me as my husband Qin Chu…”

“But don’t you appreciate his persistence in love for so many years?”

“So what then? Do you think I must marry him because of that? I don’t love him; how can I live with him?”

“But I heard you didn’t love your ex-boyfriend either, but you still went out with him when you were in the university,” Riley said calmly.

“Well, you know a lot about me.”

She was surprised that Riley knew about her ex-boyfriend Ning Zhiyuan.

It meant Huo Siqian’s subordinate had done a thorough investigation of her.

“What happened between me and Ning Zhiyuan is quite simple. At that time, I had a misunderstanding with my husband and was separated from him for years; I felt I should live a normal life…”

Huo Mian didn’t want to talk about this part of her life; anyway, everything between her and Ning Zhiyuan had ended.

If no one brought it up, she wouldn’t have even remembered him.

It’s not that Huo Mian was heartless, but that Ning Zhiyuan left few traces in her life.

He wasn’t so deeply in love with Huo Mian as Qin Chu, and he wasn’t so noble as Su Yu who loved Huo Mian for nothing in return.

He wasn’t as persistent in love with her as Huo Siqian. So, she had nothing to say about that guy.

“Okay. Everyone says Miss Huo has a high IQ. You’re quite eloquent.” Riley smiled.

“Shut up. We’re not friends… I don’t have to chit-chat with you. Now that we’re close to the land, give me money and a passport,” Huo Mian demanded.

“I can give you money. You asked for 1,000, but I can even give you 10,000,” said Riley.

Hearing his tone, Hui Mian knew there was a but, so she didn’t reply.

Sure enough, Riley continued, “But as for the passport, I really can’t help you, not because I don’t want to but because I don’t have your passport.”

“How did I get here then?” Huo Mian asked.

“You were still unconscious when you came. The boss pulled the strings and got you in. I guess he has a faked passport, but it’s not in my hands.”

“Without an ID, it will be quite troublesome for me, right?” Huo Mian demanded.

Indeed, ID checks were quite frequent here; a foreigner would be in trouble without any identifications. She’d not be able to travel in planes, trains, or leave the country.
