Little Bean’s words made Huo Mian feel sadder .
“Little Bean, don’t video-chat or call your Uncle Su for a few days . ”
“Why not?” Little Bean was puzzled .
Cocking her little head, she looked at her mommy in the complaint .
“Uncle Su is on a business trip and… is very busy . He doesn’t have time to chat with you . ”
“Huh? He didn’t tell me that . ”
“You’re a kid and your Uncle Su can’t tell you everything . Anyway, you kids should keep out of our adult business and concentrate on your school . ”
“Okay . Mommy, you must keep your word… When Handsome Su comes back, you’ll let him take us to Japan . ”
“Yeah . I’ll agree to let you go… so long as he comes back . ”
Huo Mian almost choked on her words .
Before Little Bean could say goodbye, she ended the video-chat in agitation .
Outside the office .
Qin Chu came back from the meeting and was worried when he saw Huo Mian’s agitation through the window .
“She didn’t eat anything?”
Qin Chu asked his assistant Little Yang .
“No . She didn’t even drink the warm milk . ”
“Okay, I got it . ”
“President Qin, what’s wrong with her? I’ve never seen her so agitated . ”
Even Little Yang could see Huo Mian wasn’t herself in the last couple of days .
“She’s fine . Give it to me . ”
Qin Chu took the heated milk from Little Yang and walked into the office .
“You can’t go on without food . At least the baby needs to eat . ”
Qin Chu placed the milk on the tea table before Huo Mian carefully .
Hearing her husband’s voice, Huo Mian snapped back to reality .
“Hon, I’m truly not hungry . ”
“It’s not for you; it’s for the baby . Yuyao is hungry . ”
It was the first time that Qin Chu called the baby by the name Yuyao .
At her husband’s persuasion, she picked up the glass and began to drink the milk slowly .
They didn’t talk much because Qin Chu knew Huo Mian was smart and didn’t need him to reason with her .
If she couldn’t get the problem out of her mind, no one could say anything to dissuade her .
In fact, Huo Mian couldn’t calm down since they still couldn’t find any information about Su Yu’s whereabouts and they didn’t know if he was alive or not .
Qin Chu was also in low spirits and hoped this was a simple kidnapping in which Su Yu pretended to submit to his kidnappers and would come back safe with his wits and courage .
At the school, Little Bean was puzzled after ending the video-chat .
“Sis, don’t you think Mommy sounded a bit weird?”
When Little Bean talked to their mommy on video, Pudding sat close to her and heard the whole conversation even though she didn’t show her face .
“Yeah, a little bit . ”
“You noticed it, too?” Little Bean leaned over toward Pudding and looked at her .
“Mommy’s voice was a bit different and she didn’t sound happy… I wonder if she had an argument with Daddy?” Pudding guessed .
“That’s impossible . All the people in the world know Daddy would never bear to upset Mommy; how can he argue with her? I think… maybe she got emotional since our younger brother is about to be born . What’s its name? Prenatal hypomania . ”
“Pu… That’s bullshit . I heard about prenatal depression but not prenatal hypomania . ”
Pudding was most impressed by her sister’s ability of making up stories and names; unsuspecting people would be easily fooled by her .
Of course, Gao Boyuan was her biggest victim .
“Anyway, I feel Mommy is acting weirdly . We’d better not mess with her for now,” Little Bean mumbled .
“I’ll go to Auntie Wei Ying’s home after school . Will you come with me?”
“You have an appointment with Yunchu, right? You’re going to his auntie’s home; I have no business there . I won’t go with you…” Little Bean left with an arrogant turn of her head .
Resigned, Pudding shook her head; she picked up her cellphone and sent a WeChat message to Su Yu .
“Handsome Su, Mommy said you’re on a business trip . Come back as soon as you can . Little Bean and I miss you . ”
