“Those two devils are already sound asleep…”
“This early?” Qin Chu was a bit disappointed .
“It’s not early… It’s quite late now, Chu… We’re adults but kids get tired early . ”
“Fine, I’ll call again tomorrow . ”
“Wait… When are you guys coming back?”
“We haven’t decided yet . Rick wants us to stay one more day so that he can take us to his southern villa . ”
“Okay… Dad loves the twins anyways… I’ll let them stay and play for a bit longer . ”
“Ning, have they been naughty?” Huo Mian asked .
“No, they’re great, Mian . These nieces of mine have sure been good children . ” Qin Ning was afraid, to tell the truth .
She had seen what the twins were capable of . If the twins took revenge on her, she would be doomed .
“That’s good, but if they are naughty, feel free to call me any time,” Huo Mian advised .
“Okay, Sis-in-Law . ”
“Ning, when you take them out, remember to take the bodyguards… Just to be safe . ” Qin Chu was very protective of his daughters so he even chose Qin Ning’s personal bodyguards himself . They had a total of eight people protecting them, so it was quite a scene when they went out .
It was as if his daughters were the president’s…
“Okay, okay… Don’t worry . Even if I lose myself, I won’t lose the twins…”
Then, Qin Ning hung up .
Qin Chu and Huo Mian cuddled and chatted for a while before Huo Mian fell asleep .
Qin Chu looked at her with adoring eyes and gently readjusted her position .
He carefully put a blanket on her before heading downstairs . Rick was indeed still downstairs .
“Do you want a drink?” Rick looked up and saw Qin Chu .
“Sure . ” Qin Chu walked over and sat down .
Rick picked up an empty glass and poured some whiskey for Qin Chu .
“I’m so jealous of you…”
“Jealous of what?” Qin Chu took a sip of the whiskey .
“I’m jealous that you have Huo Mian by your side… Huo Mian would never leave you . ”
“You’re acting like it’s the end of the world… From what I know, you were the one who broke up with Xixi and I heard that she cried her soul out for you… She talked to Mian a few times and it seemed like she wanted to get back together…” Qin Chu said .
“It’s better to cut the pain short . ”
“But your pain is still here, isn’t it… It’s been a long time . Three years, eh?” Qin Chu smiled .
“Xixi’s the first and last girl I’d ever love . ”
“Why are you so sure? Do you not plan on getting married or falling in love with anyone else?”
Qin Chu looked at Rick .
“What do you think?” Rick forced a smile then gulped down the whiskey in his hand .
“Godfather… You’ve had too much to drink,” the butler came up to advise Rick with a fluent British accent .
“Get lost…” Rick gave an icy look .
“You sure are more ruthless compared to before…” Qin Chu exclaimed . He had recalled Rick killing those gangsters without even blinking an eye .
“If I wasn’t ruthless, I wouldn’t be able to sit here today . Then the kingdom my brother and father fought for would be conquered by someone else…”
“I understand . ” Qin Chu nodded .
“Qin Chu, let me ask you . If you were me, would you give up Huo Mian to protect your family’s legacy?”
Before Qin Chu could respond, Rick smiled and said, “You won’t . Huo Mian’s your everything . She’s more important than your own life . You don’t care about your family, business, or legacy… For you, Huo Mian’s enough, right?”
“Yes, you’re right,” Qin Chu responded clearly .
Just then, Rick suddenly asked, “Oh right, about that thing… Did Huo Mian know about what happened?”
