My Youth Began With Him

"Of course not!"

An: "…"

Seeing his boss's attitude, An didn't dare to utter another word.

Ever since that day, Zeng Rou and Su Yu's relationship did change quite a bit…

At least they were no longer so explosive towards one another. Of course, their agreement was unbeknownst to An.

With Su Yu's silent permission, Zeng Rou moved out of the tent and into his mansion.

She took the second-floor guestroom. With An occupying the first floor and Su Yu the third, all floors of the mansion were occupied.

Zeng Rou kept her promise too, deleting all of her posts on Weibo.

She deleted all of the fan comments and even stopped doing live streams…

Her entire demeanor transformed. She was much more normal now and would even cook snacks for Su Yu and An when she was in the mood.

Su Yu rarely ate the snacks but An would take a few bites here and there to not make things awkward.

After her return, Huo Mian spent all of her days at home. She decided to head back to South Side after a couple more days of rest. Otherwise, with her due date still so far away, she was going to die from boredom.

The twins were bored at home too so Qin Chu and Huo Mian reached an agreement to send them to an international elementary school.

Although the twins completed the entire elementary school curriculum and Pudding wanted to go directly to middle school, Huo Mian didn't want to send them straight to middle school as the twins were still too young and innocent.

Unable to object to their mommy's decision, Little Bean and Pudding began their elementary school journey.

They would leave in the morning and return in the afternoon. With their weekends free, it wasn't too bad.

Huo Mian decided to go to her mother's place for a day, bringing with her the driver and the bodyguard.

Yang Meirong couldn't contain her happiness, preparing an entire table of dishes just for Huo Mian.

"Let's wait until Zhixin comes back," Huo Mian said.

"Why wait for him? Eat first if you're hungry." Yang Meirong was worried about her pregnant daughter.

"It'll just be a little while. Mom, let's wait for him." Huo Mian held onto her mother's arm and pouted.

Yang Meirong was overjoyed to have her daughter back. After Huo Mian went missing, Yang Meirong drowned in bad dreams.

She spent many nights awake, afraid to dream of her daughter's death and afraid of waking up in tears.

Now, with the pregnant Huo Mian in front of her, she felt like she was dreaming…

"Mian…"

"Hm?"

"It took a lot to get to where you are today. You have to cherish your days with Qin Chu."

"Mom, I've been trying very hard. I already gave him two kids and a third one's coming soon!" Huo Mian chuckled.

"I know that you're still young, but what if something happens? What if something ruins what you have right now?"

"Mom, what do you think will happen?" Huo Mian trod lightly.

Yang Meirong placed her hand on top of her daughter's and sighed. "Everyone says marriage is the grave to love. No matter how loving the couple is, after the seven-year itch, their marriage will feel like a pool of dead water. There will be no passion and the husband and wife will lose their connection. So, you have to be careful. You have to watch for Chu's outside activities and control your own feelings…"

"Qin Chu won't. I won't either," Huo Mian promised.

"Mian… Su Yu… haven't had a girlfriend for so long… does it have something to do with you?" Yang Meirong asked.

"Mom… why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"I'm sorry if it's not my place… but your mother-in-law brought it up with me during my last visit. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not… but still, you're pregnant right now and shouldn't get too close to Su Yu. You're a wife and a mother. You should learn to stay away from men. What if I introduce him to someone? What about Auntie Di's daughter, Yumeng? She's a flight attendant and is very pretty. Maybe Su Yu would like her," Yang Meirong suggested to Huo Mian.
