This Kind of Huo Mian Makes People's Heart Ache (7)

0"Little Bean, why are you here?" Huo Mian's eyes radiated tenderness at the sight of her daughter.

"Daddy, Sis, and I are here to give Mommy soup!"

"This is your daughter? She's adorable." Liu Ze smiled.

"Yes." Huo Mian nodded.

"Hello, Mister." Little Bean looked at Liu Ze sweetly.

"Hello, little girl. You're so cute! How old are you? Are you in kindergarten yet?"

"Mister, you are so cute too. How old are you? Do you have a boyfriend?" Little Bean asked innocently. 

"Boyfriend? Uh…" Liu Ze didn't know how to respond.

"Yea! That's what all the TV shows say. All the men who are handsome and a little feminine as you like men. So, I'm not going to ask you about your girlfriend. It's probably not your style. I'll just ask about your boyfriend." Little Bean showed her most adorable face.

With that, Liu Ze didn't look too good.

"Little Bean, stop it," Huo Mian scolded her daughter and then apologized to Liu Ze. "Um, don't mind her. My little daughter is… a jokester… She likes to tease people. Haha."

"No worries. She's just a kid, haha," Liu Ze laughed awkwardly.

Just then, Qin Chu walked over, holding Pudding's hand.

"Mommy, we brought you sweet soup! Eat it while it's hot! Didn't Daddy say that it's bad to eat too much at night? Forget about the noodles… It'll be bad if it gives you digestive problems," Pudding glanced at the ramen in Liu Ze's hand, making sure to speak very loudly.

"Okay, let's go to my office first."

Following that, Huo Mian said to Liu Ze, "Doctor Liu, please excuse me. My husband and daughters are here. I'll talk to you later."

"Of course, Vice Director, you do you," Liu Ze replied with a light smile; he didn't seem to mind.

Qin Chu walked past Liu Ze without even acknowledging the man. It was as if the latter didn't exist to him.

- Inside Huo Mian's office - 

Under the loving gazes of her husband and her daughters, Huo Mian took a few sips of the sweet soup.

Qin Chu suddenly spoke up, "Pudding, take your sister outside to play. Daddy and Mommy need to talk about something."

"Okay."

Pudding nodded and grabbed Little Bean to leave the office.

Huo Mian put down her soup and wiped down her desk.

She then got up to pour Qin Chu a cup of hot water. "Honey, is it cold outside?"

"It's fine."

"You don't have to come in the future if it gets too late. It's too much trouble." Huo Mian smiled.

"Too much trouble for us? Or are you afraid that we would interfere with your business?" Qin Chu replied coldly.

"What… what do you mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean. I don't want to say more." Master Qin was clearly not in a good mood.

"If you're referring to Doctor Liu buying me food, I'll have to make things clear. Please don't misunderstand. Doctor Liu is new here. There's nothing between us."

"There are so many doctors in this hospital and he's only bringing you food? What's even funnier is the fact that he knows about your preference for Ah-Xin's Ramen. From what I know, they don't deliver. So, he drove over there for it, spending 40 minutes there and back, just to bring you your favorite food. Am I really supposed to believe that you're nothing more than regular colleagues?"

"What are you saying? Do you think there's something going on between us?" Huo Mian was a little bit angry.

"What else could it be? I saw it with my own eyes," Qin Chu asked.

"Fine, since we're on this topic, why don't I ask you something too. You said you were having dinner tonight with a colleague, but… was it really a colleague? Or was it someone else you didn't want to name?"

"You investigated me?" Qin Chu's gaze was beaming with anger.
