“Should we tell Mommy and Daddy? Maybe they can help Auntie assess this new boyfriend or something . ”
“You’re thinking too much, there’s no way Daddy and Mommy won’t know about something like this . In my opinion, Daddy trusts Mr . Tang, that’s why he allows them to be together . Otherwise, if someone bad has ill intentions towards his sister, their legs would get broken,” Pudding sounded casual .
“You have a point . ” Little Bean looked at her sister with admiration .
Pudding’s brain worked faster than Little Bean in terms of analyzing situations and critical thinking .
– At South Side Recuperation Centre –
Chen Jie was away on honeymoon and wasn’t back yet .
Huo Mian wasn’t used to her new assistant, so she did most of the stuff herself .
“Vice-director, somebody is here to see you . ”
“Bring them in . ” Huo Mian was busy checking documents and didn’t raise her head .
She heard the sound of her office door opening and soft footsteps .
“Mian…”
Hearing a familiar voice made Huo Mian raise her head .
She was immediately filled with surprise and joy…
“Xiaoxue…” Huo Mian immediately rose and shook Wu Xiaoxue’s hand .
“It’s been a long time, look at you, you’re already the vice director…” Wu Xiaoxue wore a navy coat and looked incredibly graceful .
She seemed completely different, maybe it was because of the time she spent in the United States .
“Oh, you . Stop teasing me… It’s all because of Director Wu… Come, sit . ”
Huo Mian pulled over a chair for Wu Xiaoxue .
At that time, she finally saw the man behind Wu Xiaoxue . It was Ning Zhiyuan, and he was holding their daughter’s hand .
“Happy New Year, Huo Mian . ” Ning Zhiyuan smiled .
“Happy New Year . ” Huo Mian nodded and smiled back .
After Ning Zhiyuan went to the states, Huo Mian never heard from him .
The few bits of news about him came from the mouth of Director Wu, and they were all brief .
She heard that the couple opened a clinic for local Chinese-Americans, and they were quite well-known now in the area .
Seeing Ning Zhiyuan made Huo Mian realize how long it had been .
His appearance didn’t change significantly, but his aura felt different .
Ning Zhiyuan was wearing a black wool coat that looked similar to Wu Xiaoxue’s . It looked simple and elegant .
He had a Burberry scarf around his neck and silver-rimmed glasses on . He looked scholarly .
His trashy attitude was gone… Needless to say, time and environment can really change a person .
The girl Ning Zhiyuan had was quite tall and looked a lot like him .
Huo Mian immediately knelt down and touched her cheek .
“This must be Xinyue . She’s so big already . ”
“Xinyue, say hi to Auntie Mian,” Wu Xiaoxue said .
“Hi, Auntie Mian . ” The girl’s voice was sweet, she was very likable .
“Haha, you are so cute . Xinyue’s already so tall, and she’s only a year older than Pudding and Little Bean . ”
“Maybe it’s because of the environment . Everyone eats beef and drinks milk . That’s why they’re healthy . A lot of my friends’ kids all developed nicely…” Wu Xiaoxue laughed .
“When did you come back? Why didn’t you call me?” Huo Mian enthusiastically looked at Wu Xiaoxue .
“I came back on the twenty-ninth . I spent New Years with my parents and my uncle . His health is declining lately, and we don’t want to bother him . Also, Zhiyuan’s parents missed the kid… We visited his home after the new years . We just came back . We thought that you’d be at work, so we came to visit you . ”
“I heard that you had twins, congrats . ” Ning Zhiyuan looked at Huo Mian gently .
