A Devil in a Mask (9)

"No. I didn't tell him."1

"You… don't want to tell him?"

"No. I don't want him to think that I'm using this excuse to see him… The relationship between us is… awkward."

"Okay. Get a good rest here. I'm familiar with the doctors in the Orthopedics Department and I'll do checks on you regularly. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have the cook in my home make them for you. Living alone in the hospital is not easy; just tell me if you need anything."

"Okay." Zeng Rou nodded.

"Then I'll go and do rounds." Huo Mian stood up.

"Oh, by the way, Huo Mian, did your sister leave?"

"Yeah. She left. Why ask?"

"Nothing. I just think Lu Yan's fun and want to hang out with her."

"She already left."

Huo Mian didn't say much about Lu Yan; she wouldn't talk about Lu Yan with anyone.

Since it was the first time that Zeng Rou asked about Lu Yan, Huo Mian didn't get suspicious.

During lunchtime in the hospital's cafeteria.

Mrs. Su found Huo Mian and took a seat across from her.

"Auntie Su, are you busy today?"

"No, I'm not busy. Mian, have you contacted Yao lately?"

"I haven't. I just came back from a business trip."

"Oh… I see."

"What? Did anything happen to her?"

"No. But she's been here for days and I haven't visited her yet. I have two dresses that I bought in Europe and want to give them to her. But you know my appearance in Yu's company always causes a stir, so…"

"Give them to me. I'll bring them to her after work."

As smart as Huo Mian was, she knew Mrs. Su's intention immediately.

"I don't want to trouble you…"

"It's no trouble for me. Auntie, we've known each other for a long time. You like Han Yueyao and bought gifts for her; I'll help you deliver it. Anyway, I told Su Yu she's my cousin." 

"Right. I think so, too. Mian, you're so thoughtful. Thank you."

After lunch with Mrs. Su, Huo Mian returned to her office with the bag.

After work, she asked the chauffeur and bodyguards to escort her to Imperial Star first.

The trainees got off work late; when Huo Mian entered, they were still practicing in the dance room.

Sitting outside of the dance room, Huo Mian waited patiently with the bag in her hand while the bodyguards stood around her alertly.

At this moment, some nosy girl in the dance room glanced out of the window and murmured, "Look, isn't that Mrs. Qin?"

"You're right. I haven't seen her for a long time. Her skin is great; even in pregnancy, she looks good without make-up."

"You think so? I think she looks ordinary. I don't understand why our big boss President Su likes her so much."

"You don't understand it, so shut up. They say the woman has a high EQ and does things flawlessly. President Su loves her very much, or he wouldn't have remained single for so many years."

The women gossiped with each other animatedly.

Han Yueyao didn't speak; she turned her head and met Huo Mian's eyes, signaling politely that she'd be out soon.

Huo Mian smiled at her.

After a dozen seconds or so, the class was finally dismissed.

Wiping sweat from her forehead, Han Yueyao headed out of the door.

"Han Yueyao knows Huo Mian?" The class president Gao Yaruo finally found the secret.

"My gosh. I was wondering how she could get into our class when she came so late. She was shameless to claim she didn't enter the company through connections," the other girls railed against her.

"Sister Mian, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's fine. Take a seat and have a break."

Huo Mian took out a wet wipe from her bag and handed it to Han Yueyao.

"Sister Mian, you came to see me for something ?"

"Um… Auntie Su asked me to give you these." Huo Mian handed her the dresses.
