Chapter 105
"It's not bad . " Qin Chu nodded .
"Good, have some more then . " Huo Mian smiled in relief .
The two of them ate breakfast across from each other . Qin Chu didn't say anything, but he would occasionally raise his head to look at Huo Mian .
Huo Mian, on the other hand, ate with great appetite . She had been eating western breakfast food for quite a while now, and it was rare for her to have a homemade Chinese breakfast . Thus, for her, the food tasted especially delicious .
No matter how angry Qin Chu was with her, he would still feel like everything was heaven-sent once he saw her sitting by his side so quietly…
He had wished for a day like today for seven years .
"How is your brother doing? I heard that he was discharged from the hospital," Qin Chu suddenly asked .
"Yes, he's recovering very well . I told him to rest at home for a while since he's not enrolled in a lot of courses this semester anyway . "
"Good," Qin Chu nodded .
After breakfast, the two left home together .
Huo Mian had been taking the bus to work for the past few days because Qin Chu was driving the Maybach .
"Let me drive you if you don't mind this car . "
Huo Mian looked at the car and felt uncomfortable…
"I can park the car further away," Qin Chu added .
"Okay," Huo Mian nodded and thought that he was trying hard to compromise .
On the way, Qin Chu turned on the music inside the car, and the famous English song Hotel California started playing .
The melody was mesmerizing, and it was a song that Huo Mian liked, so she soon began singing along .
"On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
my head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night .
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
and I was thinking to myself
this could be heaven and this could be hell
then she lit up a candle
and she showed me the way
there were voices down that corridor,
I thought I heard them say
welcome to the hotel California
such a lovely place
such a lovely place
such a lovely face .
There's plenty of room at the Hotel California
any time of year
any time of year
you can find us here . "
"You're a good singer," Qin Chu suddenly said .
Huo Mian suddenly realized what she was doing and awkwardly lowered her head .
"You have a beautiful voice," Qin Chu said again .
"Thanks . "
"California is a beautiful place, the sea is endless there, the sky is blue, and the air is fresh . The pace of living is also very slow there . "
Qin Chu had been in America for seven years and pretty much visited all of the states…
"Yes, I've seen it on television . It really is gorgeous . "
"I'll take you there on vacation when we have time," Qin Chu suddenly said .
"Okay . " Smiled Huo Mian .
Even though no one knew when this might happen, since Qin Chu proposed, she couldn't possibly disappoint him .
"Do you have a driver's license?"
"I do . " Huo Mian nodded . A driving school held an event at her college graduation . It was half price, so she and Ning Zhiyuan both took the course and got their licenses .
"Then you can drive the CC . It will be easier for you to commute in a car . Don't take the bus, it takes too long . "
"No, it's fine . We don't live very far from the hospital, and there's a parking space shortage already . A little nurse like me doesn't have a designated parking spot anyways, so it's not necessary . " Huo Mian smiled .
"Why… don't you quit that job of yours?"
"Are you saying that I should be a fulltime housewife?" Huo Mian looked at Qin Chu as if he had just said something absurd .
"No, I know that you want to keep yourself busy . You don't have to stay at home; instead, you could help me at GK, just pick a department you like . If you still want to work in the medical field, then I can establish a wellness department . It can provide GK employees with check-ups, for illnesses and stuff . I can even get a doctor to assist you, or I could even open up a private clinic for you . "
Qin Chu was truly willing to do anything for Huo Mian…
Huo Mian knew that Qin Chu always kept his word, but it was absurd to open up a clinic just for her .
He shouldn't do that, even if he had all the money in the world… .
"No, really, but thank you for the gesture . I really like the job I have right now . It's very fulfilling . The truth is, some jobs can't be evaluated with money, it's where my interests lie . The OB/GYN department that I'm in is the busiest department of the entire hospital, but I really do love it there because I get to witness the birth of many lives every day . I can't explain that kind of joy . Qin Chu, if you truly mean well, then let me do the things I love . Just that would be great . "
"Okay . " Qin Chu nodded, acknowledging that he respected her choice .
Then, he stopped the car slowly, "We're nearly there, you can get off here . "
"Okay . "
"Mian," Qin Chu suddenly called out gently .
Huo Mian turned around, but before she knew what was going on, Qin Chu kissed her on the lips .
