Chapter 3262 In This Lifetime, I Only Love Him 2
“Honey? Honey?” Huo Mian called out but received no reply.
After checking the washroom and finding nothing, Huo Mian left her bedroom and walked out carefully.
Sure enough, there was a faint light emitting from the library…
“Honey…” Huo Mian pushed open the library door quietly.
Qin Chu looked up, surprised; he wasn’t expecting Huo Mian to wake up in the middle of the night.
Qin Chu wasn’t working and his computer was off.
Under the dim lighting, Qin Chu was sitting in his chair, a lit cigarette still in his hand.
“Baby, why are you up?” Qin Chu got up and snuffed out his cigarette.
“I got up to go to the washroom and saw that you weren’t there. So, I came out.” Huo Mian pouted, looking pitiful.
Ever since her return, she’d been feeling less than secure.
She would always wonder if Qin Chu was next to her as if she’d been traumatized.
“Don’t worry, it’s not like I’ll run away.” Qin Chu took off his jacket and wrapped it around Huo Mian.
“Honey, I’m not cold.”
“Cover yourself. You’re pregnant right now. We can’t risk anything.”
“It’s so late. Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Qin Chu looked terrible; he seemed very weak.
“I… still have some work I have to finish from work.”
“Is it urgent?”
“Yes, it’s pretty urgent… so I’m working overnight.”
“Then… are you done?”
“Yes, I’m done. I was going to go to bed after a smoke.”
“If you’re not done, I can help,” Huo Mian suggested.
“How could I ask you to help me? You’re our biggest treasure right now… as valuable as a panda,” Qin Chu teased.
“Psh, I’m not a panda! They’re lazy and fat… I’m the hardworking Doctor Huo!”
“Alright, alright, Doctor Huo, let’s go back to sleep. Staying up’s not good for the baby.”
“Okay.”
Huo Mian nodded her head, following Qin Chu back to their bedroom.
They turned off the lights but this time, Huo Mian didn’t go to sleep.
She closed her eyes but didn’t fall asleep.
After about 40 minutes, she opened her eyes quietly. She could see that Qin Chu was still awake with the help of the moonlight.
It was already 2:30 AM in the morning. He would see the daybreak if he didn’t sleep soon.
Huo Mian didn’t ask Qin Chu anything, however, she felt that he was hiding something from her.
– The Next Morning –
After breakfast, Qin Chu went to GK and the twins went to school.
Huo Mian also left the house after tidying up.
“Young Madam, where are we going?” the driver and the bodyguard asked politely.
“I’m visiting my friend. Drive me to the Wei Mansion,” Huo Mian replied.
“Alright, Young Madam.”
After breakfast, Huo Mian got in touch with Jiang Xiaowei, both wanting to meet each other.
Jiang Xiaowei hadn’t been feeling well and was taking some time off work.
So, she spent her days at home, and with With Wei Liao working and the kids at school, she’d never felt so relaxed.
In her spare time, she even learned to arrange flowers. The Wei Mansion had quite the artistic feel it, all thanks to Jiang Xiaowei, of course.
Huo Mian loved the atmosphere of the mansion. She followed Jiang Xiaowei into the back garden, watching the latter prune and trim freshly bought plants.
“Xiaowei, actually, I’m here to ask you for something,” Huo Mian stated frankly.
“Ha, you don’t even need to ask! What do you need?” Jiang Xiaowei smiled.
“Xiaowei, I beg you, tell me… what is Qin Chu hiding from me? You know, don’t you?”Huo Mian’s words were filled with pain.
“Mian, what are you talking about?” Jiang Xiaowei looked unnatural.
