“Are you surprised?”
“Mhm, I didn’t think there’d be so many people . ” If Qin Chu didn’t tell her, she would’ve never guessed that so many people had tried to kidnap her .
“So, Honey… I was so worried that you’ll get exposed, and now you have… more hardships will be waiting for our family down the road, are you afraid?”
Huo Mian shook her head . “No, I know you’ll protect me . ”
“I will… even if we die, we’ll die together . ” Qin Chu held Huo Mian’s hand tightly and with determination .
Ian, Nalo… the human traffickers, and whoever saved Huo Siqian… so many people and powerful forces are trying to take Huo Mian away from him .
Qin Chu was always on alert; he was worried that if he relaxed, he wouldn’t be able to protect Huo Mian .
“Come on, be optimistic, okay? We’re going to live until we’re a hundred years old, they’re the ones who are going to die . ”
“Mhm . ” Qin Chu smiled .
“Honey, I don’t want to drag other people down with us . If worse comes to worst and all they want is me so they can control my dad, I’ll go . You just have to protect Little Bean and Pudding . ”
“I can’t do that . ”
“You can, for the kids . ”
“I won’t, I never will . If I learned anything over the years, it’s that I can’t live without you . If you were in my shoes and I were the one dying, do you think you’ll find happiness in being alive?”
“Honey, I never want to be apart from you again . I’m scared . ” Huo Mian put her arms around Qin Chu’s neck and hugged him tightly, as if she was worried that he might disappear at any moment .
“I thought you wanted me to protect the children?” Qin Chu laughed .
“I was pretending to be brave, don’t take me so seriously, okay?”
“You’re such a kid . ” Qin Chu lovingly rubbed Huo Mian’s head . Then, the couple headed home .
– The next morning –
It was Huo Mian’s birthday, and the party began at 7:30 .
She didn’t have anything to do at home, so she decided to head over to South Side . On her way, she made a public post in the group chat .
“NOTICE: to those who are attending my birthday party tonight, please do not bring any presents . We will have guards outside, you only need your phones and nothing else . Those who bring presents will be asked to leave . ”
“Haha, what a great announcement, I can save money this year,” Zhu Lingling said .
“I guess I’ll have to save your present for you next year then,” Jiang Xiaowei chimed in .
“Mian, that’s not fair for you . We’d be eating and drinking for free,” Ni Yang joked .
“It’s okay, the Qin Family is rich enough to afford a meal, don’t hold back!” Huo Mian responded .
“Wait, Mian, the Tang Family is hosting your party . You can’t tell people to not hold back!” Tang Chuan jumped out to blame Huo Mian’s generosity .
“Tang Chuan, so what if Mian doesn’t hold back? If you don’t keep me happy, I’m going to ask you for a bigger betrothal gift!” Qin Ning defended Huo Mian .
“Haha, Ning, I’m kidding . Don’t take me so seriously!”
“This is the first time we’re holding Mian’s party, it’s a serious matter!”
“Yes, Ma’am . ”
Su Yu was right; the only person Tang Chuan listened to nowadays was Qin Ning .
After some back and forth in the group, Zhu Lingling suddenly said, “Wait, why didn’t Su Yu say anything? Don’t tell me you got her a present . ”
Only then did the rest of the group notice that Su Yu indeed hadn’t said anything since Huo Mian’s group post .
