My Youth Began With Him

Since it was a sensitive situation, only Huo Mian and Qin Chu knew about the call.

This situation was something so serious and dangerous that it surpassed the level of asking friends for help.

Huo Mian promised Qin Chu to wear multiple GPS devices.

Huo Mian put the things she thought she would need into a black backpack.

Zhao Qingya ordered Huo Mian to go to the cliff at the back mountain of the South Hill Manor at 10PM. She would have someone pick Huo Mian up there by helicopter.

Huo Mian put on a comfortable long black quilted jacket.

Her stomach was still very obvious from pregnancy and her movements were restrained, so Qin Chu got her a pair of non-slip shoes.

He put a scarf, gloves, and a hat on her so she wouldn’t be cold.

“Honey.”

“Yeah?”

“I’ll come back alive,” Huo Mian promised again.

“Mhm.”

“I’ll bring back Su Yu in one piece.”

“Mhm.”

Huo Mian swung her hands on Qin Chu’s neck and tightly embraced him, as if she did not want to let go.

“Honey, if… if I can’t come back…”

“You’ll come back for sure. Let’s not talk about other scenarios.”

Qin Chu knew what Huo Mian was going to say so he stopped her from saying such unlucky and sentimental things. He just couldn’t bear it.

He could never imagine what he would do if Huo Mian died.

To him, Huo Mian would never ever die.

“Okay. Let’s not talk about that.”

They had finished packing and left their bedroom.

“I want to see Pudding and Little Bean.”

Qin Chu didn’t respond but he didn’t look alright. He walked in front of Huo Mian and pushed open the door to the twins’ bedroom.

Huo Mian gently walked inside. The twins were exhausted and had fallen fast asleep.

Huo Mian wanted to kiss them, but she was scared that she’d wake them up.

She watched them quietly sleep for a while. Then in the end, she took out her phone and secretly took a picture of them before she left unwillingly.

At the front of their house, Huo Mian said to Qin Chu, “Honey, I’ll go alone from now.”

“Mian, you must be careful. Dad and I will find you through the GPS no matter where you are. Remember not to agitate your enemy. They probably have something they want. Just promise them to give them what they want first. You’re pregnant now so you need to be careful,” Qin Chu patiently urged.

“I know, Honey. You should go back.”

Huo Mian opened the door and walked out. Suddenly she stopped and turned back to kiss Qin Chu on the lips.

Before Qin Chu could react, she had separated herself from him and left.

When Huo Mian closed the door, Qin Chu cried.

He had been suppressing his tears for a long time now because he didn’t want Huo Mian to see him cry. If she did, she would be even more worried.

She needed to save Su Yu. No one could change Huo Mian’s mindset. Qin Chu couldn’t stop her. No one could stop her.

He hoped to coordinate with his father-in-law and Lu Yan so they could capture them all at once. Then, they could get Huo Mian and Su Yu home safe and sound.

Qin Chu stood by the door as he watched Huo Mian disappear into the distance. He suddenly thought Huo Mian was extremely beautiful at that moment; his wife would always be the most beautiful woman in the world.

“Chu, why are you standing there?” Qin Chu’s mother heard noise downstairs so she got up to see.

“Uh, nothing.”

“Your father asked me to ask you if you booked the wedding venue yet. Some of our friends are coming. Can you get us a few tables?” Mrs. Qin requested.

The word “wedding” ached Qin Chu’s heart even more.

“Okay, Mom,” Qin Chu said. Then he looked down and went upstairs.

Half an hour after Huo Mian left, Qin Chu received a call from Rick, who was in America.

“Chu, listen to me first. It’s a very serious situation now. I found something. Mr. Y is just a nobody. The person he’s working for is extremely dangerous. You and Huo Mian shouldn’t do anything reckless. Lu Yan is coming. I suggest you talk to Lu Yan about this.”

“Too late. Mian left,” Qin Chu said in a desolate tone. He had expected this. He knew things weren’t that simple. He knew if anything went wrong, Mian would never come back.
