"When I went out just now, I saw those unreasonable family members outside the door . If they see you, they might do something impulsive . I think it's safer for you to leave from the back door . "
Huo Mian nodded . "Okay, I'll leave from the back door then . Thank you, Chief Han . "
"Don't mention it, and don't revel in it too much, the director will definitely do something about it . They won't get anything from causing a scene out there . "
"Okay . "
Huo Mian packed up her things and left the hospital from the back door with Huang Yue .
Chief Han was right; it was much quieter to leave from the back door .
Huo Mian, her mind a mess, decided to walk home . It took her about 15 minutes to get back to Imperial Park .
It was still early, so their condo was empty . Qin Chu wasn't back yet .
Huo Mian put down her bag . Exhausted, she fell onto the couch and closed her eyes to rest for a bit .
Suddenly, she remembered something . She took out her phone and called Zhu Lingling, but her phone was off .
Nervous, she logged onto WeChat . As soon as she did, she saw Zhu Lingling's message .
"Girl, I'm at work . I'm flying south today, don't worry about me . "
Huo Mian was relieved that Zhu Lingling went to work…
She thought about what happened at the hospital today and began developing a headache .
Her mind ran wild, and she completely forgot about making dinner .
It wasn't until she heard the sound of the door unlocking and Qin Chu entering did she snap back to reality .
"You're back? I'll go make dinner," Huo Mian said as she headed towards the kitchen .
When she passed by Qin Chu, he grabbed her hand .
"You don't look well . "
"Oh, it was really busy today, I think I'm just too tired," Huo Mian replied vaguely .
"Then don't make dinner, let's go out to eat . "
"I don't have much of an appetite, but you can go out for some food yourself . "
"It's fine, I'm not hungry either . Forget dinner, let's rest for a while . " Before Huo Mian could respond, Qin Chu dragged her to the couch and had her sit .
Then, Qin Chu took out an apple from the fridge for Huo Mian . He turned on the TV and randomly picked a channel .
Afterwards, he took off his suit jacket and took out his laptop . He then began working beside her .
Huo Mian didn't want to eat . She held the apple Qin Chu gave her, and, overcome with boredom, began watching TV .
They didn't speak to each other, as Qin Chu was focused on his company's reports and stocks .
Huo Mian, on the other hand, stared at the TV screen as the apple sat quietly in her hands .
They quietly felt the time pass by .
Huo Mian occasionally looked at Qin Chu's perfect profile; her heart was filled with warmth .
She liked and enjoyed his companionship…
However, she constantly felt like their relationship was in crisis mode . She didn't believe that they would be able to spend the rest of their lives together .
It seemed that the tragedy that happened seven years ago made sure that their relationship would be forever burdened with heavy baggage .
Qin Chu, sensing Huo Mian's stare, suddenly turned his face towards her . Looking into her eyes, he asked, "Are you enjoying your show?"
"Take a look at it for yourself . "
Qin Chu looked up and froze…
It was the cartoon, Bonnie Bear .
"You can switch channels if you want to," he said .
"No, it's fine, I like this show . "
Qin Chu was speechless upon hearing Huo Mian's response .
He truly found it hard to believe that someone with an IQ as high as 130 would watch a children's cartoon show .
After Qin Chu worked for another hour, he turned off his laptop .
He looked at Huo Mian, who appeared exhausted . Giving some thought, he asked her, "Do you want to go on a vacation together?"
