My Youth Began With Him

"no. please don't do it." an shook his head firmly.

"why not?"

"if the distance between you and dr. huo is the distance between the sky and the sea, then the distance between lu yan and me is that between a goddess and a man. you can't solve it with dinner."

"whoa. you surprised me with those flowery words. man and a goddess?"

su yu thought an was exaggerating because he didn't know lu yan's identity.

although lu yan didn't ask an to keep her secret, an didn't tell anyone about her identity.

after all, her profession was extremely dangerous; one more person knowing of her identity meant one more risk.

"forget it. president su, i know my limitations. from now on, lu yan will be my idol for the rest of my life."

"seriously? she's just a young girl. why do you admire her?" amused, su yu looked at an.

he thought an looked weird; like the poet xu zhimo who had just got dumped by his girlfriend, he kept babbling about the distance between man and goddess.

"president su, i want to be alone."

su yu: "…"

"but this is my office." su yu didn't know he should cry or laugh.

"then i'll go out and won't disturb you."

"then who's gonna protect me when those female performers barge in and rape me?" su yu teased an.

"then you'd better give in to them. you won't lose anything."

tossing the words over his shoulder, an left.

"damn it… he doesn't appreciate a good joke… is our an truly in love?"

he had watched an get tricked many times by the scheming bitches that he met on shake it on wechat. even though he didn't know if an was truly in love or not, he could see an was depressed.

- at south hill manor -

huo mian and the twins were happily enjoying the cake freshly baked by their housemaid.

returning home from work, qin chu changed out of his suit. when he walked downstairs, he bumped into lu yan at the entrance of the staircase.

"brother-in-law, you're back from work," lu yan greeted him with a smile.

"yeah. yan, the thing about han xu's wife; did you do it?"

"yeah." lu yan nodded.

"i heard about how she hired people to deal with you guys."

"brother-in-law, do you think i'm being too cruel to her?" lu yan wondered how qin chu thought of the whole thing.

"no. i think you're very merciful. that woman deserves to die… if anything happened to mian or the baby, i'd kill her whole family."

"heihei. don't worry. i wouldn't let anything happen to my sister." lu yan was confident.

"when will you leave?"

"you know about it already?" lu yan was surprised.

"your subordinates are leaving."

"yeah. i plan to go to thailand. psycho qiao is there waiting for me."

"if you need me for anything, just call me."

lu yan understood the word "anything" qin chu said meant anything, including money, connections, and manpower.

"okay. i will."

"don't work so hard. remember to come back and see your baby nephew."

then, qin chu turned and walked downstairs.

despite his coolness, his parting words showed his concern for lu yan.

she had been an independent girl free of worry, but now she had a big family including huo mian, the twins, and the baby in huo mian's belly. her sense of contentment was hard to describe with words.

at this moment, her watch beeped.

she pressed on the answer button.
