Chapter 1781: 1781
After three seconds of silence, Rick nodded . “I do . ”
“Then you should know what to do . You may seem indifferent, but you’re not heartless . I know you know what to do, and as your friend, I really don’t want you to let that girl through your fingers . After all, she loves you very much . Remember this, not all passionate emotions can be reciprocated, and not all affections can be requited…”
After saying all this, Huo Mian turned around to leave without saying goodbye .
Rick, on the other hand, looked gratefully as she walked away, as if he suddenly realized something . He muttered to himself . “Huo Mian, thank you…”
When she walked back into the mansion, the others were all staring at her with a smile .
This weirded her out . “What are you guys smiling about? What’s going on?”
“First, tell us how you did as a mediator . Did you convince Rick?” Tang Chuan smiled mysteriously .
“Oh… I don’t know, actually . Rick’s a little slow when it comes to relationships, he might be able to understand what I’m trying to say, but I have no idea what he’ll end up doing…”
“Damn, I thought you were going to automatically succeed . ”
“I’m not omnipotent like God, okay?” Huo Mian retorted, rolling her eyes at Tang Chuan .
“How’s your impending marriage going, Young Master Tang?” Wei Liao laughed .
“Forget about it, I’m never going to marry that woman…”
“Haha, when can we expect a wedding invitation?” Wei Liao joked .
“In your wildest dreams…”
“Hey, that’s not too far away from now . I’ll see you tonight then!”
“See you my ass!”
The one-month birthday party wasn’t too grand – it was exactly what Huo Mian wanted . The twins finished their milk and fell into deep sleep, giving Huo Mian the chance to say goodbye to her friends .
After walking back into the mansion, Su Yu said gently, “You must be exhausted today . ”
“I’m fine . ” Huo Mian smiled .
“You should get some rest . Once they wake up, you’ll be super busy again . Pudding’s always looking for you, and cries holy hell whenever you’re not around . ”
“Mhm, Pudding’s smarter, she’s one month old but already knows who’s her mommy . Bean is easier to take care of, she only eats and sleeps . ” Huo Mian’s expression filled with content as she talked about her twin daughters .
“Get some rest them, I’m going to head over to the company . ”
“Okay . ” Huo Mian nodded .
After a few steps towards the door, Su Yu suddenly thought of something . He turned around and said, “Don’t worry, I already got my people to follow Huo Siqian in case he puts some evil plan into the works . As soon as he detects something, we’ll know as well . If Qin Chu’s really alive and he finds out, so will we . Don’t worry, I’m going to help you find him . ”
Su Yu cared about Huo Mian too much, so he constantly paid attention to her expressions . Today, she seemed happy but was still a little out of it .
Su Yu felt like Huo Siqian’s words lit up a hint of hope within Huo Mian, so he immediately got his people to investigate .
“Su Yu… you really don’t have to do this, you’ve done enough for me . I’ll never be able to pay you back in this life . ”
“I don’t need you to . ”
“I know, but I still feel bad . I owe you too much… I can’t shoulder that weight . ”
“Yes you can, because you’re Huo Mian,” Su Yu said . Then, he turned around and left the mansion, leaving Huo Mian alone and worried .
– Su Estate –
After walking upstairs, Grandpa Su called Huo Mian into his study . She smiled . “Grandpa Su, did you want to play chess with me?”
Grandpa Su’s hands were behind his back as he stared at Huo Mian in all seriousness . Then, he asked, word for word, “Mian, if I win, can you marry Yu?”
Upon hearing this, Huo Mian froze…
