My Youth Began With Him

3953 From Now On, I will Protect You 3"Okay okay, let's talk about something else. Eat, everyone!" Yang Meirong wasn't interested in this topic, so she urged everyone to eat.

Huo Mian didn't bring up this topic again.

"So Dad, you're staying here tonight, right?" Zhixin asked happily.

"Of course he's staying here, this is home." Yang Meirong smiled.

"Zhixin, you and Bella should stay as well. There's enough room here. Plus, you'll have more time to hang out with Uncle Jing." Huo Mian took this opportunity to ask Zhixin and Bella to move in.

"Yes, that's a great idea! Dad, you're okay with us staying here, right?" Zhixin put his arms around Jing De.

"Haha, of course I am." Jing De smiled; Huo Mian could tell that his smile was forced and awkward.

On their way home from Sky Blessing Court, Huo Mian didn't say anything.

"Honey, are you okay?" Qin Chu looked at Huo Mian with concern.

"Yeah."

"What's on your mind?"

"I was thinking maybe I should do a DNA test on Uncle Jing and find out who he is."

"A DNA test? You got…?" Qin Chu stopped halfway through his sentence. He knew his wife well, and from her tone, it was obvious that she already took a sample of him.

Huo Mian raised her hand with a smile, showing off a strand of short black hair.

"Good job, Honey, how did you manage?" Qin Chu was in awe of Huo Mian's wits, and the fact that she got a sample from Jing De without anyone noticing, even him.

Once they have proof, they will be able to explain to Yang Meirong and Jing Zhixin that this person was not Jing De.

"So why do you look so worried?" Qin Chu tilted his head; Huo Mian looked like she had a lot on her mind.

"Honey, do you really think whoever's behind this will let something as amateur as a DNA test unravel their entire plan? If so, why would they go through the trouble of finding someone that looks exactly like Jing De?"

"So you think…"

"I'm just worried that the results will be different from our expectations."

Qin Chu reached out and placed his hand on Huo Mian's leg. "Calm down, no one can alter DNA. What a giant biological joke do you think it will be it that were the case?"

"I am calm, don't worry."

Huo Mian was still quiet even after they arrived at home. Finally, Qin Chu decided that she should talk to Lu Yan.

After carefully placing anti-bug and anti-tracking devices in his study, Qin Chu dialed Lu Yan's number just as Huo Mian walked in wearing a nightdress.

"Honey, what's up?"

Qin Chu didn't respond. He stood up and placed an earphone on Huo Mian's ear, and a familiar voice sounded.

"Sis!"

"Yan…" Huo Mian smiled earnestly upon hearing Lu Yan's voice.

"Sis, it's late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I haven't been sleeping well, and wake up a million times each night."

"You're almost due, that's why. Sis, do you miss me?"

"You're kidding me, right? Of course I miss you!" Huo Mian scolded Lu Yan, but the corners of her mouth lifted into a big smile.

"I miss you so much too! How about this, I'll come visit you when you're about to pop."

"No," Huo Mian refused immediately.

"Why not? Are you worried that I'll mooch off you? I don't eat that much… just some lobster, shark fin, and king crab per day, that's all I need," Lu Yan joked.
