My Youth Began With Him

“Yeah. I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl before. Look at her eyes. They are so dark and bright.”

“Yeah. Her figure is gorgeous, too. Wow…”

“Is she a movie star? A performer from Imperial Star?”

While people speculated, a male doctor couldn’t resist the temptation and walked up to them bravely.

“Hi, Vice Director.”

“Hi, Doctor Zhao.” Huo Mian looked up with a smile.

“Is she your friend, Vice Director?” the doctor asked shyly.

“She’s my younger sister.”

“Ah? Your sister… No wonder she looks like you.”

“You think so? But I don’t think I look like my sister,” Lu Yan disagreed.

“But you do look like her…” The doctor tried to continue the conversation.

“But we’re not sisters by blood and have different genes. I’m adopted…” Lu Yan teased him.

The doctor looked embarrassed…

“Ahem… Doctor Zhao, you can go now.” Huo Mian sent him away.

“There are so many morons…” Lu Yan grinned

“Don’t tease them…”

“I just couldn’t resist the temptation when I saw his dumb look… Okay, Sis, let’s eat.”

Lu Yan had an unusually good appetite today. With billions of yuan in her name, she was tired of eating rare delicacies in fancy restaurants.

But in the cafeteria, she enjoyed her simple meal of two dishes and one soup with great gusto.

She enjoyed it so much probably because she was eating it with her sister.

Lu Yan had green pepper fried with potato slices, carp in brown sauce, and seaweed soup with egg drop.

Huo Mian had scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried pork ribs, and a radish shop with meatballs.

“Sis, is the baby a boy?”

“How did you know?” Huo Mian was surprised.

“I can see it from your complexion. It’s said that pregnant women with boys have ugly complexions.”

“So you’re trying to say I’m ugly, right?” Huo Mian was resigned.

“Not very ugly; just the ordinary kind of ugly…”

“Lu Yan, are you tired of living? This is my territory.” Huo Mian chuckled.

They seldom saw each other but felt extremely close when they were together.

They felt the special bond even when they were joking; only blood family members could have this feeling.

“Sis, Dad misses you.”

“Huh-hum.” Huo Mian nodded.

“Do you want to talk to him?” Lu Yan lifted her wrist and dialed the number on her watch before Huo Mian could answer.

“There are so many people here. I’m afraid…” Huo Mian was startled, afraid the call would expose the identity of her father.

“It’s fine. You take my blue-tooth earpiece. I’m not using video this time,” Lu Yan said.

She took out two blue-tooth earbuds and put them on Huo Mian’s ears.

Then the professor’s ancient voice came to her ears. “Yan, what’s up?”

“Dad… It’s me.” Huo Mian’s voice choked in her throat.

Yeah, she knew he was her father, and it was even a luxury for her to see him or even call him.

Hearing her voice, Professor fell silent; the old man seemed to be emotional.

“Dad, are you okay?”

“Good, good. I’m fine.” Sure enough, the old professor’s voice sounded a bit trembling as if he was weeping.

“Dad, thank you for doing the surgery on Qin Chu and taking care of my daughters,” Huo Mian said in a small voice with tears in her eyes.

“Silly girl, you don’t have to thank me. I owe you a lot over all these years…” Professor Lu’s voice choked as he got more emotional.

“Dad, I’m fine. I’m three months pregnant. It’s a boy; you’ll have a grandson soon,” Huo Mian swallowed back her tears and tried to talk in a normal voice.
