Qin Ning immediately shook her head . “I didn’t, Big Brother . Am I someone who doesn’t know what I should or shouldn’t say? I wouldn’t tell her even if I was beaten to death . ”
“Good . ”
Qin Chu reassuringly nodded his head . Then he turned and walked upstairs…
When Qin Chu arrived upstairs, Huo Mian had already showered and was reading a fashion magazine in bed .
“Did you check on the kids?”
Huo Mian nodded . “Yes . They’re already asleep . Perhaps it’s because they had too much fun today and were too tired . ”
“Okay . We don’t need to wake up too early tomorrow . Let’s just let them sleep in . Besides, we can go to Disneyland anytime . ”
“Sounds good . ”
Huo Mian seemed like her mood was down in the dumps .
Qin Chu took off his white t-shirt and revealed his tanned body . His 6-pack looked perfect, causing anyone to drool over them .
He walked over, sat down by the head of the bed, and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, leaning her head against his chest .
“What are you doing? Seducing me?” Huo Mian asked jokingly .
“Do I need to seduce you? A single kiss will cause you to surrender . ” Qin Chu looked down and laughed .
“Psh… what an egomaniac . ”
“Why don’t we give it a try then?” Qin Chu playfully teased her .
What he enjoyed the most was seeing Huo Mian become a shy little girl and act cutely in his arms .
In his eyes, Huo Mian was not a strong-headed goddess; rather, she was only an innocent and simple girl .
“Honey…” Huo Mian turned around, held onto Qin Chu’s neck, and said in a soft voice .
“What are you doing? You want me?” Qin Chu continued to tease her .
“Can’t we just have a normal conversation?”
“We can . Let’s do it first and then talk, okay?”
“Not okay . ”
“Then let’s talk first and then do it . ”
Huo Mian: “…”
After running around in circles, it seemed like Mr . Qin had won… although Huo Mian was an extremely intelligent woman, she always felt like a dummy around her husband .
“Honey… Can you please be serious . I have something to say . ”
“Okay, Honey . Please speak . ” Qin Chu looked at her lovingly .
“Honey, these four years have been harder on you than me, right?”
“Of course not . I had it pretty good in the US . Both my parents are here and I also had Uncle Qin and Qin Ning . I had enough to wear and enough to eat… it wasn’t hard on me at all . In contrast, you’ve suffered more . ”
“You’re lying… it wasn’t good at all…”
“Honey… did Qin Ning say something to you? You shouldn’t listen to what she says . She’s known to exaggerate everything . ” Qin Chu was worried about Huo Mian so he tried his best to cover up the truth .
“Even if Ning didn’t tell me, I could still imagine what you had to go through . Honestly, everyone knew how hard it has been for me to raise the kids but no one saw how hard this whole thing has been on you . Even if my situation was worse, there would always be someone by my side and the Su family would still protect me . Yet you had to overcome the pain of multiple follow-up surgeries and withstand the loneliness of missing us…”
“It’s all in the past now . Isn’t everything fine now?”
“Qin Chu, you’re such a dummy…” Huo Mian suddenly broke out in tears .
“Yes… Yes… I’m a dummy . As long as my wife is a genius, we’ll be okay,” Qin Chu coaxed Huo Mian in his arms .
“Qin Chu… From now on… I don’t want you to handle everything on your own . Even if you’re a man, there are still times when you are tired and exhausted… I just hope that you’ll share both your happy and sad times with me in the future . As husband and wife, I want to take on whatever the world throws at us together . When you’re sad, you can lean on me . You don’t have to deal with it all by yourself . You’re no god, you’re also human…”
“Honey, I know . I’ll do as you say from now on . ”
At this moment, Huo Mian’s heart really ached too much for Qin Chu .
Qin Chu suffered such great pains over the last four years yet everyone still blamed him .
Fans of Huo Mian who weren’t aware of the situation would also comment on his Weibo page, accusing him of being irresponsible and a coward .
However, Huo Mian knew that Qin Chu was doing all this for her . Anything that involved her was extremely important to him .
Therefore, he accepted all the blame, just so he could protect Huo Mian .
In the misty night, Qin Chu silently hugged onto Huo Mian…
– At this time, in a high-class condo in LA –
An old man in a white lab coat walked out of the lab .
“Professor . Miss Huo and her family are going to be in LA tomorrow . Since they’re already here, do you want to find a chance and meet up with them?” his assistant reported .
