My Youth Began With Him

“I won’t grant it.”

“Why not?”

“Because whenever Dr. Huo wants to talk to me about something in such a serious manner, it usually isn’t a good sign. So, I won’t grant it.”

“You… you… you… can’t do this to me.” Mr. Qin was just too domineering and unpredictable. Before Huo Mian could have a chance to explain the issue, he just analyzed it and dismissed it.

“You don’t like it? Come and bite me.” Qin Chu teased her.

“Humph… No. I’m afraid of catching rabies…”

“You took the words from my mouth.” Qin Chu put down the work and walked to her.

“Honey, I’m serious…” Huo Mian began to beg.

“Tell me about it.”

“I just received a notice from the province and have to attend a small meeting in Lin County tomorrow.”

“Lin County? That’s over 250 km away from here.” Qin Chu’s face fell.

“I won’t go alone. In fact, many doctors in the hospital will go. I will be filling in for Director Wu. You know he is very busy flying all over the country to attend all kinds of meetings. As the deputy director, I can’t just take the salary and do nothing. I want to do something for South Side.”

“So…?” Qin Chu raised his eyebrows at Huo Mian.

“So, you’ll agree to let me go, right?” Huo Mian begged.

Ever since she became pregnant, Qin Chu was extremely careful with her as if she was a panda; she couldn’t even go shopping by herself.

“How long will it be?”

“I’ll stay one night there. After getting there, we’ll have the meeting in the evening and then come back the second day.”

“You have to stay one night there?” Qin Chu frowned.

“Just one night. Don’t worry. After all, many people will be there. I plan to take Jie with me; she knows how to take care of me.”

“Well… Fine. If you want, you can go.” Qin Chu finally approved her request for the business trip.

“Wow… Great! I love you, Honey.”

Excited, Huo Mian stood on her tiptoes and kissed Qin Chu on the cheek.

“But I’ll go with you.”

“Huh?” Huo Mian was surprised.

“It’s far from home. I can’t let you go alone,” said Qin Chu.

“But many people from the hospital will be there. Besides, I can take the bodyguards with me.”

“I’ll still be worried with just the bodyguards. I’ll go with you… It’s settled.”

Then Qin Chu returned to the desk and continued to work on his laptop.

“Honey… You’re busy with the company. I really don’t need you to go with me. Or… I can ask Yan to go with me.”

Huo Mian congratulated herself for her quick thinking.

She had heard how badass Yan was but had never witnessed her in action since Yan never killed people in front of her.

Huo Mian thought it was just a short-distance business trip and the young nurses would say she was being pretentious if they saw her husband go to the meeting with her.

So, she came up with the idea to have Lu Yan go with her and thought her husband would agree to her suggestion with pleasure.

To her surprise, Qin Chu’s expression turned darker.

“No. Lu Yan can’t go with you.”

“Why not?”

“Mian, do you trust me?” Qin Chu raised his head and looked at Huo Mian instead of answering her question.

“Of course.”

“Then listen to me. I’ll go with you.”

“Um… Okay.” Seeing his determination, Huo Mian didn’t pursue the topic.

“Honey, I’m now the most protected person in our family, right?” Huo Mian asked with a pout before she left the room.

“Right.”

“Then without pandas, I’d be the national treasure.” Huo Mian sulked.
