My Youth Began With Him

When Huo Mian said that, the two other women were dumbfounded.

Jiang Xiaowei and Zhu Lingling looked at each other in confusion.

Leila really hated seafood.

It was because when she grew up, she was around sea creatures too much.

However, Huo Mian did like seafood.

So, her first reaction was disgust. Then, she remembered that Huo Mian liked seafood.

So, to fix her mistake, she said, “I did like seafood, but this time… After what I’ve been through, my tastes have changed. It’s common for women’s palettes to change after childbirth. Mr. Qin can attest to that… So, girls, you heard right, I don’t like seafood anymore.”

“Really… If I knew, I wouldn’t have bought it. I can’t believe that you don’t like it anymore.”

Clearly, Zhu Lingling believed her, as she lamented.

“It’s okay, we’ll order something else, or go eat at the cafeteria,” Jiang Xiaowei suggested.

“It’s okay, don’t bother… You guys eat, I’m not hungry…”

Jiang Xiaowei and Zhu Lingling were silent…

“I’m a little tired, I want to take a nap.”

“Then… We’ll come visit you some other time, Mian.”

Huo Mian kicked them out with one sentence.

They had nowhere to go with the bags of seafood.

They found an empty spot in the cafeteria and sat down.

Then, they ate the food, so it wasn’t a waste.

Inside the cafeteria.

“Mian seems weird today… I feel like something is wrong.” Jiang Xiaowei looked worried.

“I know why,” Zhu Lingling replied in a mysterious tone.

“You know?”

Jiang Xiaowei raised her head in surprise.

“Mhm, come look at this.”

Zhu Lingling picked up her phone, opened her friend circle, and showed Jiang Xiaowei something.

It was the announcement of Xixi’s newborn child.

“We didn’t even know Xixi delivered. We should visit her sometime.”

“Xiaowei, that’s not the point. The point is, Xixi delivered, but Mian had a miscarriage… Their pregnancies were around the same time, and if Mian didn’t miscarry, that baby should have been born around this time.”

“So you mean…” Jiang Xiaowei seemed to understand what Zhu Lingling meant.

“Mhm, I think Mian was traumatized… She’s down, especially after Xixi had her baby… That’s why she was acting so weird today. She didn’t want to eat seafood, and she didn’t want to talk to us. Huo Mian loved that baby, and losing it was traumatizing. She’s focusing on getting her body back to health, but mental trauma doesn’t heal that quickly.”

“Mhm, Lingling, that makes sense. Poor Mian.”

“Let’s just be there for her… She’ll be there for us when we’re in trouble.”

“Mhm.”

Jiang Xiaowei and Zhu Lingling didn’t think much of it.

It lined up with Xixi’s delivery, so they innocently thought that Huo Mian was in a bad mood.

They wouldn’t have thought that this Huo Mian wasn’t their best friend.

On the other side of the earth, in the ocean palace.

Huo Mian looked at the man lying in the crystal coffin with shock on her face.

“Mian, one word and I will revive him… He won’t die, he’ll be the same Huo Siqian who is willing to go through hell and back for you.” Lin Ya’s voice seemed to have an irresistible magical power to it.
