My Youth Began With Him

“Jing City?” Qin Chu was taken aback, confused by what Huo Mian was trying to pull.

“Yeah! Remember the surgeon from the army hospital who helped take out your bullet?”

“Yes, I remember.”

“Dr. Feng called me today and said that he was going to make an exception for me and make me his apprentice. He wanted me to move to Jing City and become an army surgeon.”

“And you agreed?” Qin Chu asked.

“Yes, how could I reject such an amazing opportunity? I’m no fool, it’s extremely difficult to become an army doctor,” Huo Mian replied matter-of-factly.

Qin Chu went silent…

“Honey?”

“Hm?” Qin Chu sounded slightly dejected.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Aren’t you happy for me?” Huo Mian replied as she stuck out her tongue playfully.

“I am.”

“I don’t believe you. You sound mad.”

“I’m really okay, if you want to work in Jing City, you should go,” Qin Chu replied calmly.

“Are you serious?” Huo Mian was very surprised.

“Yes, I’m serious. If that’s is your dream, you should go. I won’t stand in the way.” Qin Chu was still as calm as could be.

“Then are we doing long-distance?” Huo Mian was slightly angry.

It was her who teased Mr. Qin, wanting to elicit a reaction from him. Now that he agreed to let her go, she was annoyed. Women are strange; they often say things that were the opposite of what they truly meant or felt.

“Long-distance? Why?” Qin Chu asked, enunciating every word.

“Didn’t you tell me to go to Jing City? If I leave, and you’re here, wouldn’t we be separated?” Huo Mian asked angrily.

“Did I say I was going to stay here?” Qin Chu asked, amused by Huo Mian’s anger.

“Then…” Huo Mian was very confused; what was Mr. Qin trying to say?

“You can go to Jing City, but I’m going with you too, so what long-distance are you talking about?”

“Um… You’re going with me? Then what about GK?” Huo Mian was kind of shocked.

“To me, nothing is more important than you. I can leave the company anytime I want, but Doctor Huo, you will never get rid of me, understand?” Mr. Qin’s voice was more than domineering.

Huo Mian felt her heart fill up. She knew he never liked to talk sweet nothings and was always just speaking his mind.

Although he was never one to be disgustingly sweet, his blunt words were 100 times more moving than anything Huo Mian’s ever heard.

Huo Mian stared at her phone, dazed…

“Honey, why are you so silent? Are you really leaving me to go to Jing City?” Qin Chu asked again.

Huo Mian replied with a laugh, “Haha, I was joking about that. I’d never leave here. Career opportunities are endless, and I’m really not that ambitious. What’s more important to me is being with the person I love, doing things I like, and living an ordinary life, as simple as that.”

“You look like the type of woman who’d make a good wife and a good mother,” Qin Chu laughed as well.

“I will definitely try my best at the good wife thing, but good mother…” Huo Mian paused, feeling a sting in her heart.

Honestly, Huo Mian was feeling a lot of pressure to get pregnant.

Jiang Xiaowei and Wei Liao had only met, but they had already gotten married and pregnant.

No wonder there were gossips flying around. Even she began doubting herself.

Sensing Huo Mian’s mood, Qin Chu comforted, “Mian, remember, I didn’t marry you to have children. I’ll love you regardless of that. Don’t think too much about it.”

“Honey, be honest, do you want a baby?” Huo Mian asked with a hint of sadness.
