The twins began worrying about their parents as soon as they went upstairs .
Little Bean: "Sis, don't you think something seems wrong about Mommy and Daddy these days?"
Pudding: "Even a blind man would've noticed something . "
Little Bean: "Um, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Pudding: "It wouldn't have changed anything . "
Little Bean: "At least we could've investigated the source . "
Pudding: "The lives of adults are very complicated, we shouldn't interfere . Plus, Daddy and Mommy are extremely intelligent people . So, we should mind our own business . "

Little Bean: "I'm still worried that something might happen . "
She then looked upstairs; her expression filled with worry .
Pudding: "Like what?"
Little Bean: "What if they get divorced? Are we going to live with Mommy or Daddy? I would rather live with Daddy, Mommy can be scary sometimes . "
Pudding: "Don't worry, they're not going to get divorced . You're thinking too much . "
Before Pudding could say anything else, Little Bean interrupted, "Sis, I know you want to say that they love each other so much that the world would end before they get divorced, right?"
Pudding: "No, I wanted to say that they're not really married, so how are they going to get divorced?"

Little Bean almost spat out the milk in her mouth . She opened her eyes wide . "Sis, are you saying that we were illegitimate children this whole time?"
"No, I mean they're legally married, but they never held a ceremony . . . you knew that!"
"Oh, right, I forgot about that . . . I really hope nothing bad will happen, or else our lives would suck . Daddy's always been an iceberg and he's so quiet even when he and Mommy fight . Mommy has a hot temper, and if a war breaks out, I don't want to be inflicted . . . "
The twins continued to chit chat downstairs; even the twins could tell that something was wrong .
That evening, Huo Mian and Qin Chu talked for an hour and thirty minutes inside the study . No one knew what they talked about, but when Huo Mian came out, her expression wasn't pretty .
They didn't even come out holding hands, nor did they call each other 'honey' .
"Come on, bath time . " Huo Mian held the twins' hands as they headed upstairs to their bedroom . Qin Chu, on the other hand, took out his jacket and headed towards the door .

"Chu, it's late, where are you going?" Mrs . Qin asked .
"I have some business to tend to . "
"Drive safe and come home soon, alright?"
After Qin Chu left, Mrs . Qin looked up at her daughter-in-law and grandchildren, and then towards the door her son left from not so long ago .
She felt unsettled . . .
"Honey, something's wrong . "
"What's wrong?" Mr . Qin looked up from his newspaper upon hearing that .
"Something's off with Mian and Chu recently . . . "
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm not sure either, but . . . they didn't use to be like that . You should ask Chu if he's been under pressure at GK or going through something rough . . . We wouldn't want work to interfere with their relationship . Mian's done so much for our family, I really don't want her to go through anything else . "
Qin Chu's mother was more and more understanding of Huo Mian's hardships over the years .
-Upstairs, inside the bathtub -
"Mommy, we've been in here for five minutes and you've blanked out three times . What's wrong?" Pudding asked Huo Mian calmly .
