My Youth Began With Him

Huo Mian didn’t say anything, she just looked at him quietly…

“She must’ve acted like a damsel in distress, crying to you that I took her daughter and that I am a bastard, right?”

“She didn’t lie,” Huo Mian coldly rebutted.

“And then she got emotional, she got on her knees and begged you to come and find me, isn’t that correct?”

Huo Mian bit her lip and remained silent. Huo Siqian was right.

“Lemme guess, when she couldn’t convince you, she pulled out her gold card. If I remember correctly, last time, when Huo Siyi kidnapped your twins, she was the one who saved them. Now, she’s using it against you. Am I wrong?”

“It looks like you know her really well.” Huo Mian was taken aback by Huo Siqian’s speculation.

He got everything right. Huo Yanyan cried, threw a tantrum, threatened to commit suicide, and used every method out there.

Huo Mian was unwilling, but she came anyway since she had morals.

She was never the cold and heartless type…

“Of course I know her. Do you really think I would keep her around after Huo Siyi’s death? It’s because you’re shielding her. Good for her, she doesn’t know her place and hooked up with that brainless fool. All those little tricks they’re pulling, they’re so annoying.”

“So you took her daughter to threaten her?” Huo Mian glared.

“Isn’t that the most effective way?” Huo Siqian opened his hands and looked indifferent.

“I hate it when you look like this. You think you didn’t do anything wrong, but I will never approve of your methods.”

“It’s okay, I don’t need your approval, that’s fine.” Huo Siqian smiled.

At that instant, the servers began bringing out food. It was a seafood feast.

Lobster, abalones, crabs, tiger shrimps, shellfish, there was everything…

“It’s all fresh, eat it while it’s hot,” Huo Siqian peeled a shrimp and carefully put it in front of Huo Mian.

Huo Mian was the only person Huo Siqian put so much effort into pleasing.

“Huo Siqian, I’m here today to return Huo Yanyan’s favor. I’m not here to eat with you.”

“I know,” he said.

At that time, Huo Mian’s phone rang. It was from Huo Yanyan.

She picked up.

“Mian, the security office called, they said that she’s here. Thank you so much.”

“No problem, as long as she’s safe.” Huo Mian hung up.

Huo Mian got up. “If that’s everything, I’ll take my leave.”

“Mian, don’t you want to have dinner with me?” Huo Siqian tried getting her to stay.

“You know full well how much I despise you.” Huo Mian turned around and looked at him calmly.

“Of course I know that, but that doesn’t affect my love for you. All these years, you treat everyone so well, I’m the only one you push away…”

Your words are pointless. If you want to say something, get to the point. You know that if I go home late, Qin Chu will come to look for me, then…” Huo Mian didn’t keep talking.

“Ha, do you think I’m afraid of him?” Huo Siqian laughed.

“You’re not scared, but he won’t let you off easy. If you have had enough of your comfortable life and want a challenge, you can try your luck.”

“Mian, I love how you can always maintain your cool…” Huo Siqian looked at her with obsession.

Huo Mian remained silent…

“Mian, why don’t we make a bet?” Huo Siqian smiled and asked while peeling the crab’s shell.
