He just felt that something was a bit off back when Huo Mian tried to send him away, but he wasn’t suspicious.
It wasn’t until he arrived at the hotel and didn’t see any handbags that he realized he had been tricked.
When he returned, Huo Mian was gone and nowhere to be found. Su Yu immediately checked her call and text records, eventually rus.h.i.+ng to Huo Siqian’s home with a group of his men.
It was good that Huo Mian was safe. He would hate himself if anything happened to her.
He didn’t know when it all began, but protecting Huo Mian had become not only a responsibility but also a habit.
It was as if he was born to protect her.
Before he went to sleep, Su Yu took out his phone and flipped to the one photo he took of Huo Mian…
It was when Huo Mian was still a doctor. She was dressed in a white lab coat and wearing black gla.s.ses frames.
Although she looked a bit old fas.h.i.+oned, Su Yu still found her incredibly adorable…
Thinking back to his history with Huo Mian, she was the most interesting during his hospital stay at South Side.
She was fierce as a tigress, teaching Su Yu lessons and making him as obedient as could be.
We all have our weaknesses, right? Huo Mian was Su Yu’s weakness…
Even if he was G.o.d, Su Yu knew that he would still be in the palm of Huo Mian’s hands.
He moved closer to the cell phone screen, closed his eyes, and gently pecked the girl’s lips on the photograph…
He then mumbled, “Goodnight, Dr. Huo.”
An drove Huo Mian back to the Su Family Mansion in Su Yu’s Lamborghini.
He drove very slowly…
Sitting on the pa.s.senger’s side, Huo Mian looked off into the distance as if she was deep in thought.
“Honestly… I’ve never seen President Su fight anyone this hard. He had never fought like this ever since he was discharged from the army…”
An uttered slowly…
“Yeah… I’ve never seen him like this either. It really scared me. What am I supposed to tell Grandpa Su if something were to happen to him? I’m scared just thinking about it.”
“Nothing would’ve happened to President Su. He’s incredibly strong. I just thought that it would be a one-sided beatdown by President Su, but Huo Siqian surprised me with his skills. Anyway, both of them gave it their all today. it was truly a sight to see. President Su’s injured, but Huo Siqian’s probably not doing too well either. I can guarantee that he’s suffering more than President Su, not less.”
Huo Mian tilted her head at An and smiled.
“You have a lot of faith in Su Yu…”
“Yes, it’s why I applied to be his security guard in the first place. Later on, I discovered that his character’s even more admirable. I’m also a special forces veteran. When I was still a rookie, he was already a legend at the army base. It’s a shame… though… that later…”
“Did something happen?”
“Nothing. It’s just a shame that he left the army so early… I thought that he would stay there his entire life, just like Grandpa Su.”
When it came to Su Yu’s past, Huo Mian knew close to nothing. She only knew that he spent many years in the army, but she didn’t know what he had gone through.
Maybe it was because she didn’t love him… Huo Mian was never interested in Su Yu’s past…
After she arrived home, the twins were already asleep.
Yang Meirong was in Huo Mian’s room looking after them.
“Why are you back so late?”
“Oh… I was having too much fun and forgot about the time. Did the twins give you trouble?”
“Not the little one, but the big one was crying… She seems to be a little bit more sensitive… Her little eyes are always searching for you. Seeing that you weren’t there, she started to cry. I’ve been trying to calm her down ever since…”
“Looks like Pudding’s a clever one. Her EQ might even be higher than Little Bean’s.” Huo Mian smiled.
“Mian… isn’t the day after tomorrow the twins’ one-month celebration? How many people did you invite? Do you need my help?”
