Huo Mian didn't say anything, she just looked at him quietly . . .
"She must've acted like a damsel in distress, crying to you that I took her daughter and that I am a bastard, right?"
"She didn't lie," Huo Mian coldly rebutted .
"And then she got emotional, she got on her knees and begged you to come and find me, isn't that correct?"
Huo Mian bit her lip and remained silent . Huo Siqian was right .
"Lemme guess, when she couldn't convince you, she pulled out her gold card . If I remember correctly, last time, when Huo Siyi kidnapped your twins, she was the one who saved them . Now, she's using it against you . Am I wrong?"
"It looks like you know her really well . " Huo Mian was taken aback by Huo Siqian's speculation .

He got everything right . Huo Yanyan cried, threw a tantrum, threatened to commit suicide, and used every method out there .
Huo Mian was unwilling, but she came anyway since she had morals .
She was never the cold and heartless type . . .
"Of course I know her . Do you really think I would keep her around after Huo Siyi's death? It's because you're shielding her . Good for her, she doesn't know her place and hooked up with that brainless fool . All those little tricks they're pulling, they're so annoying . "
"So you took her daughter to threaten her?" Huo Mian glared .
"Isn't that the most effective way?" Huo Siqian opened his hands and looked indifferent .
"I hate it when you look like this . You think you didn't do anything wrong, but I will never approve of your methods . "

"It's okay, I don't need your approval, that's fine . " Huo Siqian smiled .
At that instant, the servers began bringing out food . It was a seafood feast .
Lobster, abalones, crabs, tiger shrimps, shellfish, there was everything . . .
"It's all fresh, eat it while it's hot," Huo Siqian peeled a shrimp and carefully put it in front of Huo Mian .
Huo Mian was the only person Huo Siqian put so much effort into pleasing .
"Huo Siqian, I'm here today to return Huo Yanyan's favor . I'm not here to eat with you . "
"I know," he said .

At that time, Huo Mian's phone rang . It was from Huo Yanyan .
She picked up .
"Mian, the security office called, they said that she's here . Thank you so much . "
"No problem, as long as she's safe . " Huo Mian hung up .
Huo Mian got up . "If that's everything, I'll take my leave . "
"Mian, don't you want to have dinner with me?" Huo Siqian tried getting her to stay .
"You know full well how much I despise you . " Huo Mian turned around and looked at him calmly .
"Of course I know that, but that doesn't affect my love for you . All these years, you treat everyone so well, I'm the only one you push away . . . "
Your words are pointless . If you want to say something, get to the point . You know that if I go home late, Qin Chu will come to look for me, then . . . " Huo Mian didn't keep talking .
"Ha, do you think I'm afraid of him?" Huo Siqian laughed .
"You're not scared, but he won't let you off easy . If you have had enough of your comfortable life and want a challenge, you can try your luck . "
"Mian, I love how you can always maintain your cool . . . " Huo Siqian looked at her with obsession .
Huo Mian remained silent . . .
"Mian, why don't we make a bet?" Huo Siqian smiled and asked while peeling the crab's shell .
