No one spoke on the other side of the lineâ¦
For some strange reason, Huo Mian felt a strong feeling budding up in her mindâ¦
âQin Chu⦠Is that you?â Huo Mian couldnât suppress the excitement in her voice.
There was still no response.
Huo Mian never even considered that it might be some psycho just calling to mess around, nor did she think that it was some childâs prank.
She had the feeling that the person on the other side of the line was the owner of the voice she wanted to hear fromâ¦
âQin Chu⦠If it is you, can you please say something? Even if you arenât coming back now⦠please just let me know that you are still aliveâ¦â Huo Mianâs voice was shaking.
After three secondsâ¦
The call ended.
âBeep, beep, beepâ¦â
Huo Mian hastily grabbed her phone, trying to call back the numbers that showed up.
ââSorry, the number you have called does not exist. Please check the number and dial again.â
Huo Mianâs heart sank when she heard those wordsâ¦
Why would it be a nonexistent number? Why didnât that person say anything? Wasnât it that number that had just tried calling her?
She was rather rattled. She wanted to talk to someone but then thought people might think she was crazy and made up the story because she missed Qin Chu so much.
She knew very clearly though, that this was no hallucinationâ¦
â In Seattle, America â
Qin Chu hung up the phoneâ¦
He let out a long sigh. Then, he got up slowlyâ¦
Just now, he almost said something to Huo Mian.
However, why would it matter if he said something? The problems havenât been solved yetâ¦
He still needed to undergo one last leg restorative surgery. He still didnât know if he would be disabled forever or if he could luckily recover.
He didnât want people to look at his wife and daughters with discriminatory looks when they walked on the streets together.
He wouldnât allow people to say, âHey, your husbandâs crippledâ¦â
âHey, your dadâs crippledâ¦â
Qin Chu was a proud person and this was something he would not tolerate.
It was darkâ¦
Qin Chu held a picture that he cherishedâ¦
Huo Mian was wearing a pink maternity dress, one arm holding Pudding and the other arm, Little Bean.
She looked down at them and smiled gentlyâ¦
At that moment, the world seemed to soften because of her soft smileâ¦
Qin Chu held onto the picture firmly⦠His fingers slightly shaking.
âMian⦠Iâm sorryâ¦â
A few days later, Su Yu cleared his schedule so he could go shopping with Huo Mian.
They drove to the supermarket and bought a bunch of decorations for the twinsâ one month birthday. They bought balloons, a Christmas treeâ¦
They were both tired but still continued with enthusiasmâ¦
Su Yu bought whatever he saw⦠Huo Mian however, maintained her composure.
Otherwise, they would be very compulsive shoppers.
It was almost noon. Huo Mian looked at her watch and said, âItâs already 12. Iâm hungry, letâs go and eat.â
âSure⦠What do you want to eat?â
âAnythingâs fine. As long as we fill ourselves, Iâm good. Iâm just really tiredâ¦â Huo Mian smiled.
âWhat about Korean barbeque?â
âSure. However, you have to promise me something first.â Huo Mian acted very mysteriously.
âWhat is it?â Su Yu was confused.
âYou have to let me pay for it, alright?â Huo Mian blinked and smiled.
âSure⦠Itâs rare for Doctor Huo to treat me to lunch. I shall let her.â
The two couldnât help but start laughingâ¦
After arranging for the things they bought to be delivered back to the mansion, Huo Mian and Su Yu drove to a nearby high-end Korean barbeque restaurant.
There would always be a long line outside this restaurant.
The décor was rather nice and the flooring used Korean tatami.
The beef there was top-grade and fresh. Many people would come and try because of the restaurantâs good reputation.
The minimum for a two-person meal would 1,000 Yuan.
Even when it was so expensive, it was rather amazing to see how so many people would still line up for itâ¦
When Huo Mian saw so many people lining up, she second-guessed her decision. âThere are so many people here. Letâs go⦠Iâd be famished by the time we get in.â
âItâs okay, wait here for a second.â Su Yu walked over and began talking to a waiter.
