“Uh… It’s a misunderstanding, Deputy Director Huo . It’s all just a big misunderstanding…” Su Yu immediately tried to explain himself .
“Su Yu, you’re so bold now, eh? You feel so free that you can almost fly, eh? If I give you a pair of wings, do you think you can soar into the sky?” Huo Mian asked .
“I don’t have wings but I can fly in the sky with a glider . Haha…” Su Yu joked .
“So why is the great president of Imperial Star Corporation not asleep now but talking behind someone’s back? Do you think that’s a good thing to do?” Huo Mian asked .
“I-I’m just joking around with Little Bean . Please don’t take it personally,” Su Yu said with a smile .
“Yeah Mommy, Handsome Su was just joking with me . In fact, Mommy is the prettiest . Mommy is prettier than both Pudding and I put together… That’s why Handsome Su gifted Mommy such an expensive qipao…” Although Little Bean was still young, she was very quick-witted . Before Huo Mian could get mad, Little Bean raised the qipao topic .
There was no such thing as a free lunch so when Huo Mian heard the word “qipao”, the look in her eyes changed .
“In the future, don’t gift me anything that’s so expensive anymore…” Huo Mian changed the topic .
Su Yu immediately was relieved . He looked at Little Bean with gratitude and said to Huo Mian, “It’s not expensive . As long as you guys like it, that’s all that matters . Moneywise, I have tons of that and I can’t use it up…”
“Okay . It’s late . I have to get Little Bean and Pudding to bed . You should sleep earlier too . ”
“Okay . ” Su Yu nodded but he couldn’t get himself to press the hang-up button .
Huo Mian leaned down and hung up .
The final moment Su Yu saw was Huo Mian leaning close to the camera, with her long hair hanging down her shoulders . She wasn’t wearing any makeup .
At that instant, Su Yu’s heart pounded hard .
After four years, Huo Mian was still the only person that can make his heart skip a beat .
Su Yu took off his bathrobe and lied down on his big bed . He gave a slight sigh .
His phone was playing Li Jian’s “When You’re Old” .
At that second, he felt an unprecedented calmness…
“When you’re old and can’t walk anymore, man would sit by the furnace and reminisce about their youth and those times they loved . You loved her beauty, regardless of whether it was real or fake . But please remember there is still a soul that loves you wholeheartedly . He will even love those wrinkles on your face…”
Along with such beautiful lyrics, Su Yu imagined how Huo Mian would look in 20 years .
She would be almost 50 and there would be wrinkles on her face – she would no longer be young .
He thought he’d still love her even if she was no longer young . After all, he didn’t love her for her looks .
He ruminated and lost the drowsiness he felt earlier so he picked up his phone and gave Tang Chuan a call .
“Do you want to come out and have a drink?”
“Huh? Drink? No… I can’t right now…”
“Huh? Why? Did your period come?” Su Yu teased .
“No, but she came to my place . ”
“Huh? She? Qin Ning you mean?” Su Yu immediately realized who he was talking about .
“Yeah . Haha…” Tang Chuan laughed joyfully .
“What’s the situation? Are you going to break the last barrier tonight?” Su Yu teased .
“Tang Chuan! What are you doing? Come and help me…” From the other side of the phone, Su Yu heard Qin Ning’s voice .
“Okay, I’m coming!”
Then, Tang Chuan lowered his voice and said, “Hey, Yu, I’m going to hang up . ”
“Okay, okay… Slow down though . Don’t come when you guys barely started…”
“Damn you…” Tang Chuan cursed while chuckling . Then they hung up .
