“I would have no regrets.” Qin Chu’s reply was brief.
All of a sudden, Huo Mian felt her eyes fill with hot tears…
Qin Chu spoke so domineeringly with such conviction…
He wouldn’t have any regrets, even if he lost, after betting all of his happiness on Huo Mian.
Huo Mian was clearly very tired, but she was deeply moved by Qin Chu’s words…
She placed the brown sugar water down and got up to wrap her arms around Qin Chu’s neck.
She held him tightly, unwilling to let go…
“Honey, good girl… drink the brown sugar water while it’s hot.”
“No, let me hug you a while longer.” Huo Mian was very capricious.
In the end, Huo Mian hugged him for several minutes before reluctantly letting him go.
Then, under Qin Chu’s watch, she quietly finished the love-filled bowl of brown sugar water.
The two of them lied in bed, and Huo Mian placed her head on Qin Chu’s arm…
“Honey… should I perform at the thirty-year anniversary?”
“You want to perform?”
“I can sing.”
“Honey… let’s not cause a scene,” Qin Chu couldn’t help but laugh. His wife, sing? Her pitch would be so off that it could reach the South China Sea.
“I’m serious, Honey. I can sing a song that isn’t off pitch. I won’t humiliate you.”
“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?” Qin Chu asked in response.
Huo Mian immediately raised her hand and batted Qin Chu’s chest…
“You’re making fun of me.”
“Don’t be silly, Honey… you’re not singer material. I’ll take care of making the money to support the family, and you’ll just have to take care of being beautiful.”
“Humph… I don’t talk to you anymore.”
Huo Mian kept wanting to sing during the anniversary celebration…
However, this stage was as grand as the annual Chinese New Year Gala, with tons of stars and singers.
If his wife went up to sing, then she might… shock the entire crowd…
“Honey?”
Huo Mian ignored him.
“Mian?”
“Goddess Huo?”
No matter what Qin Chu called her, Huo Mian kept her back turned to him and wouldn’t reply.
“Doctor Huo?”
“I’m not a doctor yet, I haven’t passed my exams yet.” Finally, Huo Mian responded when she heard the word ‘doctor’.
Qin Chu turned her body over with spoiling adoration…
“Don’t be mad, Honey. If you want to sing, then sing. If you want to dance, then dance. You can perform whatever you want to.”
“Really?”
“Really…” Qin Chu was truly willing to do anything to make her happy.
“Fine, then I’ll have to think about it,” Huo Mian responded, too sleepy to open her eyes.
Qin Chu lowered his body and lightly kissed her on the forehead…
– The next morning –
Huo Mian arrived at South Side bright and early…
“Morning, Head Nurse.”
“Good morning, Head Nurse.”
These nurses were becoming more and more lively every day…
“Why are you guys all looking at me like that?”
“Because you’ll be a doctor soon… Our hospital has existed for a very long time, but you’re the very first nurse that the rules had been broken for to be promoted to a doctor… We are all very proud of you.” The girls who worked under her giggled.
“It’s not a done deal yet. If I can’t pass the exams, then it would be incredibly embarrassing.”
“That won’t happen. We believe in you.”
“Right, Head Nurse, have you picked your department yet? Please don’t leave… just stay in orthopedics. We don’t want you to leave.”
Huo Mian was appointed to the Orthopedics Department as soon as she arrived at South Side and had met a lot of people here.
“The truth is… I don’t think… I’m going to stay in the Orthopedics Department.”
Huo Mian didn’t want to lie to them, so she slowly told them the truth…
Before anyone had a chance to speak, Huo Siqian walked in with a chocolate-colored jacket.
“Come here, Mian.”
“What?”
“There’s something personal that I want to talk to you about.”
“Don’t you have to work? Why do you have the time to come to South Side at this hour?” Huo Mian looked at her watch; it was 9 o’clock in the morning.
Shouldn’t Huo Siqian be busy holding Huo Corporation’s morning meetings at this hour?
“Ah… they don’t need me, the old man is there.”
“What is it, let’s hear it.” At the end of the hallway, Huo Mian placed both of her hands into her white lab coat as she asked him.
“Huo Siyi was beaten up into a pulp the other day, did you do it?”
Huo Mian’s expression changed upon hearing this question…
