My Youth Began With Him

Su Yu: “…”

Little Bean walked over curiously. Standing behind Little Bean, she said with faked surprise, “Whoa. It’s indeed Mom… But she just called Daddy and said she was alone in the coffeehouse. What’s going on?”

“Are you two messing with me?” Huo Mian was exasperated.

“Mom… Explain why you’re… in Handsome Su’s car, or we won’t forgive you.” Little Bean wouldn’t let it go.

Su Yu: “Little Bean, look at your mommy. She’s almost 140 pounds; but your Uncle Su’s handsome and elegant, so how can he choose her? Do you think I’d do anything with the fat Dr. Huo?”

“Haha. Su Yu, you insulted me…” Huo Mian looked at Su Yu in exasperation.

“I’m only stating the fact,” Su Yu explained calmly.

“Whoa. Mom, you were dumped by Handsome Su.” Little Bean laughed.

“Yes. Miss Qin Mumu, because of you, I was dumped by two men,” said Huo Mian.

“Yeah. Look at your husband. He doesn’t even want to look at you; he only gives you his handsome back.” Little Bean turned the camera to Qin Chu.

Sure enough, Mr. Qin was sitting at the table and eating slowly.

Qin Chu glanced at Little Bean dotingly. “Daughter, don’t stir trouble.”

“Little Bean wants to start a family war…” Pudding explained.

“You did, too. I’m not the only one doing it. Humph…”

“Okay. Kiddos, we can’t talk to you now. We’re on our way to collect debt.” Huo Mian was about to end the conversation.

“Mrs. Qin, when you come home, Mr. Qin will prepare a durian and a keyboard for you. Which do you prefer?” Pudding teased her mom.

“Let’s not talk about it. I think you and Little Bean have too much time on your hands. So, I plan to register you guys in dancing class, Guzheng class, sight reading and ear training, and taekwondo class; oh, Spanish, too. You’ll have them on weekends. What do you think?”

“Mommy… We were joking. Don’t take it seriously.” Pudding corrected herself immediately.

“Mommy, I love you. Come back early and take care of yourself.” Little Bean buttered her mommy up.

“Okay. See you later.”

Obviously, the kids were no match for their mom; one sentence from Huo Mian turned the tables.

Scared, the two kids ended the video-chat. Qin Chu looked back and asked purposefully, “What happened? Who won?”

“Of course your wife won. She’s so sly…” Little Bean pouted.

“Dad, your woman is vicious… I admit defeat,” Pudding said.

“I told you not to mess with her.” Qin Chu smiled.

“We didn’t. I wanted to video chat with Handsome Su, but Mommy answered it… Daddy, don’t you want to send people to follow them?” Little Bean ran over and climbed onto his lap.

“Forget it. You girls don’t mess around. Go and eat some fruits. I have work to do.”

Qin Chu had no time to joke with his daughters. He knew his wife and was never worried about Huo Mian hanging out with Su Yu. He hadn’t been worried even when Huo Mian lived in Su Yu’s home for one year.

Besides, his wife was now pregnant with his son and would be in labor soon; he’d never be so low as to suspect her.

At the gate of a company.

“Let’s go up directly. The fellow must be in his office,” said Su Yu.

“No. Watch me.” Huo Mian got out of the car with a smile and walked to the reception in the foyer.
