“D-do… you want to give birth naturally or through C-section?”
“Ahem… why would you suddenly ask that?” Huo Mian was surprised to hear his question; it didn't seem like a question someone like Su Yu would ask .
“I heard someone mention this… Once you make your pick, I'll find you an obstetrics doctor . ”
“If the fetuses are in the correct position, their umbilical cords aren't tied around their necks, my body can withstand it, and they aren't overweight, I want to give birth naturally . It's a more natural way of reproduction . ”
“But I heard it really hurts… are you sure?” Su Yu asked, a little heartbroken .
“I'm not scared, I'm willing to do anything for my babies,” Huo Mian replied, biting down on her lips .
“Okay, I got it . I'll talk to the doctors at the army hospital later and ask them to find you the best obstetrics doctor there is . ”
“Mhm . ” Huo Mian nodded; she didn't want to go through the process of thanking him, since Su Yu did too much for her . A mere 'thank you' wasn't going to cut it .
“Oh right, there's something else I wanted to talk to you about…” Su Yu said, suddenly remembering something else .
“What is it?”
“GK Film and Television stopped operating, and all the artists ran away . Ni Yang's ex-manager, Yingzi, took a bunch of people with her and signed with Huo Siqian . I heard he offered her double the signing bonus, so Ni Yang's the only one left at GK now . He didn't leave, but he also doesn't have any scheduled activities anymore . I was thinking maybe we should do something about it…” Su Yu explained the situation to Huo Mian in one breath, and the latter fell silent upon hearing this .
After a while, she looked up and asked, “Su Yu… can you sign Ni Yang? Offer him more money, and I'll make up for the extra amount . He's a good kid who deserves the best . ”
Huo Mian knew Ni Yang didn't leave because of her . Therefore, she felt guilty about his current situation .
“If he's willing, of course I'll sign him . Ni Yang's a superstar… Forget about the money, I was going to offer him a top-tier salary anyways . But the thing is, he might not want to join us . I think it's best if you talk to him . ”
“Yeah… can you bring him here tomorrow so I can talk to him?”
“Sure . ”
– 10 PM, at a club under the Huo Corporation –
After dinner, Huo Siqian walked his clients out before heading back into a giant private room . He poured himself a glass of wine . “Any news? Did you find him?”
“No…”
“Have you searched all the islands? Did you ask the fishermen? None of them rescued a man?” Huo Siqian demanded icily .
“We searched the islands and asked the fishermen, no one rescued anyone . Sir… maybe Qin Chu's really dead, are we being paranoid right now?”
“Keep looking, none of you can rest until you find his body . ”
Huo Siqian hadn't been sleeping well and always woke up with a start in the middle of the night . He kept dreaming that Qin Chu was stabbing him with a knife . It was definitely not a good omen .
“How's the other matter I've asked you to do going?”
“It's underway… we're waiting for Song Qingguo to bite . ”
“Good… that asshole, I'm never going to let him hurt Mian again,” Huo Siqian spat; then, he drank all the wine in his glass and slowly stood up . Suddenly, he remembered someone who didn't seem to be doing much recently . “Do you have news on Su Yu?”
“Su Yu goes back to the Su Family estate every day after work . He barely sees clients, and he usually asks the vice president to tend to his company's matters . ”
Huo Siqian knew Su Yu went home every day to see Huo Mian; at that moment, his entire body filled with jealousy .
With a 'crack', the wineglass in his hand broke into a million pieces…
In the past, he was jealous of Qin Chu; now, he was jealous of Su Yu . Why wasn't he the one beside Mian?
– Su Family Estate –
After Huo Mian took a shower, she received a WeChat message on her phone .
It was from Zhu Lingling . “Girl… I talked to the stupid cop, we decided to get married on the 16th of next month . That day's a good day . ”
Upon seeing this message, Huo Mian immediately welled up with excitement…
