My Youth Began With Him

“Miss Yan, please, this isn’t going away just because you have money. You tailgated and crashed into a car intentionally. The nature of this incident is very serious.” Huo Mian couldn’t understand why all the daughters of mayors were so rude and unreasonable. Before, it was Song Yishi and now, Yan Ruoxi. She was absolutely speechless.

“Who told you I did it on purpose? I was distracted and didn’t see, alright?” Yan Ruoxi kept both of her hands on the wheel, her voice still as domineering as ever.

“Alright, then we’ll wait for the police to settle this…” Huo Mian made a phone call to the company and Bella brought over a team of professionals to handle the situation.

Huo Mian looked at her watch anxiously, knowing that she was about to be late.

She was on a viaduct and it was impossible to get a taxi during the morning rush hour. She stood by the side of the road, desperately trying to flag down a cab.

Finally, a black Porsche Cayenne stopped in front of her.

The windows rolled down and inside the car was a man.

“You look very anxious. Want a ride?” Jiang Ye smiled.

Huo Mian was just about to reject his offer. “If you still have misconceptions about me, you can pretend I didn’t say anything… but I’m really on my way to South Side for a check-up. It’s really convenient. Consider it, or maybe you’ll really be late.”

Jiang Ye’s words clearly affected Huo Mian.

Although she despised the man in front of her, she despised being late even more. Clenching her fists, she got into his car.

“Are you that afraid to get in my car?” Jiang Ye chuckled.

“It’s not that bad,” Huo Mian replied coldly.

“Really…your expression tells me you’d rather die,” Jiang Ye joked.

Huo Mian didn’t respond.

“I heard that you’re back working at South Side, Ms. Ruthless President?” Jiang Ye asked.

“You’re well informed…” Huo Mian glanced at Jiang Ye defensively.

“Not exactly well-informed, just a coincidence is all. After all, I’ve been to South Side these couple of days for a detailed check-up. The news of you coming back is the talk of the town. You are the famous deputy director of the hospital, after all.”

“My coming back has nothing to do with the promotion. I just love this job. Please don’t confuse the two.”

“Of course, I want to pick your brain. I don’t think anyone can fathom leaving a position like the president of a company for a doctor. Do you know how ridiculous that is?”

Huo Mian leaned back into her seat and took a deep breath. “Honestly, I don’t really care about what others think. No matter what they say, I’m still going to follow what’s in my heart. I’m not going to let trivial things and people affect any of my decisions. So, whether it’s being a doctor or a president of a company, it’s my choice and my happiness. I don’t need anyone else to understand.”

“This is the kind of low-profile showing-offI” Jiang Ye laughed.

Huo Mian: “…”

“Doctor Huo, do you want to listen to music?” Jiang Ye asked.

“Doesn’t matter.” Huo Mian clearly didn’t want to say too much to him.

Jiang Ye pressed the Play button and immediately, a magnetic deep voice flowed out of the speakers.

At the sound of the familiar melody, Huo Mian suddenly felt calm, forgetting all about the incident with Yan Ruoxi.

It was Jiang Ye’s voice on the CD; it was a song from 10 years ago. Even though Huo Mian wasn’t much of a fan, she still recognized it.

At that time, she was still in school, and Jiang Ye’s album was playing all throughout town, sung by almost everyone.

“This song seems very old…is this one of your older songs?” Huo Mian asked quietly.
