“Hey, Senior Sister.”
“Yue, are you here yet?”
“Not yet… Mian, I might not be able to go.” Huang Yue’s voice was a little hoarse.
“What happened?”
“I… I’m not feeling that well… I am really sorry.”
“Oh, that’s okay. Since you’re not feeling well, you should rest at home. I’ll treat you to food some other time.”
After hanging up the call, Huo Mian frowned…
Now, it wasn’t only Zhixin, even Huo Mian felt like something was wrong…
This wasn’t like the girl who liked to join in on the fun. What on earth happened?
“What did she say, Sis?” Zhixin anxiously asked.
“She said she couldn’t come because she wasn’t feeling well.”
“I knew it.” Zhixin was a little disappointed.
She didn’t come to GK’s thirtieth-year-anniversary party because she said that she was moving and she had to see if she had time.
Today, his sister invited her to dinner, and Huang Yue still didn’t come. Something must’ve happened to her, but she’s refusing to tell him.
“Don’t think about it too much, I’ll go ask her tomorrow.”
“Mhm.” Zhixin nodded and returned to the table with a defeated expression on his face.
Huo Mian and Qin Chu returned to the main seats…
Gao Ran, Zhu Lingling, Jiang Xiaowei, Wei Liao, Zhixin, Yang Meirong, and the Qin Couple were present.
There were eight people in total, and they were all pretty close with each other. Of course, Jiang Xiaowei brought over Wei Liao, and he belonged to Su Yu’s social circle.
“Come, let’s make a toast to congratulate the graduation of Doctor Huo.”
“Auntie… you’ve raised a genius daughter,” Jiang Xiaowei laughed and said.
“Mian has been smart since she was a kid… I was wondering and even told her Uncle Jing that Mian wasn’t stupid like me or evil like Huo Zhenghai. She’s smart and has a good heart. It’s almost like she’s not my daughter,” Yang Meirong lamented…
After Huo Mian heard what her mother said, she exchanged a look with Qin Chu…
This topic was quite sensitive and important to Huo Mian, but it looked like her mother still didn’t know the truth.
“Perhaps Huo Mian had a genetic mutation,” Gao Ran added.
“Do you think my girl is a chimpanzee? Genetic mutation…? Look at your wild imagination, why don’t you just say that she’s an alien?” Zhu Lingling argued with Gao Ran.
“From what I see, you seem to be an alien, one from Planet Poison-Tongue. Is everyone with your horoscope so vile? You have a built-in poisonous tongue…” Gao Ran jested.
“Screw you…”
The two’s argument made everybody howl with laughter…
“Everyone, drink up tonight. You can stay here tonight too, we have a lot of guest bedrooms.”
Huo Mian enthusiastically offered…
“Sis… you’re obviously flexing your wealth.”
“No, I am flexing my husband,” Huo Mian said as she flirtatiously put her arm around Qin Chu’s neck.
A few minutes ago, she uploaded a photo to her WeChat friend circle and Weibo.
It was a picture of her and Qin Chu; the first picture of them that she publicly posted.
Zhixin took it from a great angle…
The husband and wife stuck their faces together and were more intimate than ever…
Even their smiles looked the same…
Huo Mian wrote, ‘God’s gift to you might be delayed but will never be missing.’
Everybody commented and liked her post in her WeChat friend circle, even Liu Siying.
That day after the wedding, they added each others’ WeChat and occasionally liked each others’ posts. Huo Mian liked their newfound friendship.
Her Weibo, on the other hand, exploded…
“Wow, you guys are shining so bright that you’re blinding our eyes.”
“I support Qin Chu, he’s so hot.”
“To be honest, Mrs. Qin isn’t the stunningly beautiful type, but her face is great to look at. The more you look at her, the more you like her. I’m your fan!”
“He’s my husband, wah, let him go, you little b*tch.”
“You’re killing us single folks, what is it with you two?”
Within a mere ten minutes, more than 20,000 people commented on her post.
Huo Mian was just a normal citizen and wasn’t even verified on Weibo, but as the trend suggested, she was the equivalent of an internet celebrity.
She was blowing up…
Huo Mian was having fun looking at her Weibo when she received a private message from Su Yu.
“Congrats, you damned girl… you can be righteously arrogant from now on.”
“Pff… can’t you just compliment me like a normal person? Does it make you feel uncomfortable to say a sentence without thorns and spikes in it?”
“I was scared that I would be too serious and make you feel awkward,” Su Yu said.
Huo Mian fell silent…
She couldn’t deal with Su Yu when he was being serious…
“Huo Mian.”
“Mhm?”
“I miss you very much,” Su Yu sent that sentence through a voice recording, and his voice sounded very hoarse.
Yes, he had a thousand reasons to see her, but the only thing he was missing was the status to be able to.
He remembered her saying that they weren’t even friends…
