"Mhm . "
Su Yu was baffled; he had said so much but all Qin Chu said was 'mhm' .
"Yo Bro, are you listening to me or not?" he asked, exasperated .
"I am, go on . . . "
Qin Chu's response was just as calm as Huo Mian's .
"Forget it, you and Huo Mian are smart people, you should know what's best better than me . " In the end, Su Yu decided to give up his intervention . He got up with his champagne glass and walked away ever-so-proudly .
It was already 9 PM when Qin Chu arrived at home . The twins were still downstairs, playing with their grandparents .

"Daddy, you're home!" Little Bean immediately ran up and hugged Qin Chu's leg .
"Mhm . "
Qin Chu could never refuse his daughters, and he immediately picked Little Bean up . "What did you guys have for dinner?"
"Granny made us stir-fry vegetables . "
"Were they good?"
"Not bad . . . not as good as the professional chefs for sure, but Granny cooked with her heart . "
"You little brat, you're so good at making us feel good about ourselves," Mrs . Qin laughed .
"Is Mommy home?"

"Oh, yeah . She's taking a shower . Mommy looks exhausted," Little Bean said .
"Hang out downstairs with your sister . Daddy will go upstairs real quick . " Then, Qin Chu carefully placed Little Bean down and went upstairs, briefcase in hand .
"What's going on with Chu and Mian? They seem weird . " Mrs . Qin looked at Qin Chu, a bad feeling crawling up her spine .
"Perhaps they've both been too busy," Mr . Qin guessed .
-Upstairs in the master bedroom -
Huo Mian had just come out of the shower and was drying off her hair when Qin Chu walked in .
"Honey, you're home . "

"Mhm . "
"What's wrong? Did the gathering tonight not go well?" Huo Mian asked since Qin Chu looked like he had something on his mind .
"Did you end up working overtime tonight?" he asked .
"I was going to, but I didn't . "
"Then where did you go after work?" Qin Chu asked with a stem expression on his face .
"Oh, I . . . had dinner at a friend's place . " Huo Mian didn't say that she saw Wei Dong since she never told Qin Chu about the money she lent him .
"Friend? What friend? A man, right?"
"Um . . . " Huo Mian didn't know how to respond; just as she was thinking of a way to answer that wouldn't make Qin Chu jealous, he continued, "It's fine that you didn't want to go to the gathering tonight, I thought you would come straight home and spend time with the twins . To my great surprise, however, you had dinner with another man, and you really seemed to have enjoyed it . Huo Mian, what were you thinking? Are you trying to throw away this wonderful life you have?"
"What do you think you're saying?" Huo Mian's face fell .
"What am I saying? You were photographed!" Qin Chu was angry as well .
"I was photographed? What do you mean? Did you have me followed?" Huo Mian demanded .
"Why would I follow you? I have better things to do . . . Take a look at this for yourself . . . " Qin Chu threw his phone angrily onto their bed .
Huo Mian picked his phone up; it showed the front page of a media outlet and in gleaming letters were 'Wife of Rich Businessman Meets Mysterious Man at Night, Trouble in Paradise'
Below the headlines was a photo of her and Wei Dong after he walked her downstairs; they seemed to be talking on the sidewalk .
Wei Dong's place was located in a small alley; why would there be paparazzi? Moreover, Huo Mian wasn't any famous, so why would something as small as this make headlines?
"So, care to explain, Dr . Huo?" Qin Chu asked icily as he pointed at the news on his phone .
