Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
It had been a while since she saw Director Wu, and Huo Mian felt nothing but warmth in her heart .
“It's been a while, Huo Mian . You're a mother of two now…” Director Wu wore a Mao suit, and his expression was stern, like it always was .
However, his eyes filled with a fatherly kindness when they looked at Huo Mian .
“Please, sit, I'll go make some tea,” Huo Mian said, a little emotional .
Su Yu immediately went up and grabbed her arm . “I'll go and make the tea, you should stay here and talk to Director Wu .
“Okay, that's good . ” Huo Mian glanced at Su Yu gratefully…
The latter immediately ran into the kitchen to make tea, disregarding the fact that he was wearing a suit…
He did everything for them, from making tea to preparing snacks…
Huo Mian knew Su Yu was only this gentle because he was in love with her…
“Mian, I didn't come to see you not because you were accused of murder and I didn't want anyone to suspect me . Rather, I knew you were in a bad mood, so nothing I said would help . You're a smart person, you need time and space to think things through . I'm glad you did…”
“I understand, Director Wu… If you were worried that you'd be dragged into this, you could have ignored me . Chen Jie told me that you often asked her how I was doing when you visited the South Side . I'm grateful for that . ”
“After you left South Side, the neurology department hasn't found anyone good . I wanted to ask you if you could come back to work anytime soon . ”
“Haha, not at this moment . The twins are constant headaches, I don't even have enough time to sleep these days…”
“I understand… Sleep deprivation is normal with motherhood . Right, this is my gift to the twins, and that's Xiaoxue's,” Director Wu said as he took two brocade boxes out from his bag .
Inside one of the boxes was a pair of gold locks, and inside the other was a pair of gold bracelets .
“I'm grateful that you even came, how can I accept these presents?” Huo Mian smiled .
“I know you don't need money, it's just a gesture . They're not expensive . ”
“Is Xiaoxue back in C City?” Huo Mian asked .
“No, but her daughter's old enough to speak… She's going to start kindergarten in a few months . The education there is pretty good . ”
“How is… Ning Zhiyuan? How's he doing with Xiaoxue now?”
“He changed completely after going to the U . S . He and Xiaoxue passed the exams and received their medical licenses . They opened a private clinic and are doing good . I went to the States a few months ago to see them; he's much more mature than before and treats Xinyue extremely well . He's even more considerate of Xiaoxue . ”
“That's amazing…” Huo Mian smiled .
“Huo Mian, it's been so long, and your twins are already born . Are you still unwilling to forget about Qin Chu?” Director Wu asked gently .
“I'll never forget about him . ” Huo Mian nodded in complete sincerity .
At this time, Su Yu walked out of the kitchen with the tea; upon hearing Huo Mian's answer, his expression faltered, ever so slightly .
Truth be told, he knew the answer to this question but hearing it still hurt like a thousand nails .
After placing down the tea and biscuits, he smiled at Huo Mian . “You guys chat, I'm going upstairs to check on the two princesses . ”
“Mhm . ” Huo Mian nodded .
Director Wu watched as Su Yu went upstairs; he said profoundly, “Huo Mian, if Qin Chu's really dead…”
“Director Wu, I know he's still alive,” Huo Mian immediately interrupted Director Wu .
