Chapter 1711: 1711
“I’ve been following the news for the last few days… Song Qingguo has been traveling three folds less than before abroad… This is a strange phenomenon… Sometimes the media would do a close-up on him and they’re all showing that he’s in a rush . I’m guessing he’s in some sort of trouble right now… Also, he went to Lingling’s wedding and did nothing . One reason might be that he was too scared to take action in public since he might leave behind some sort of evidence that could be traced back to him . Another reason may be that he can’t even protect himself anymore so he doesn’t have time for me… You need to know that last time I got into trouble, it was midnight . It was dark and no one was around . We’re going in broad daylight this time . There’s going to be cameras everywhere and we’ll be on the highway . Do you think the mayor of the city can do anything outrageous?” Huo Mian said confidently .
“Your analysis seems to make sense but it’s all based on assumptions…” Su Yu still didn’t want Huo Mian to go out…
“Su Yu, I beg you…” Huo Mian said softly but with puppy eyes .
Su Yu could not say no to Huo Mian like this .
He would give in immediately when seeing those puppy eyes .
“You don’t need to beg me… I don’t want you to go because I’m worried about your safety, but if you really want to go, I’ll go with you…”
“Thank you,” Huo Mian responded with a gentle smile .
“Oh yeah, don’t tell Mrs . Su . I don’t want them to worry,” Huo Mian said .
“I understand . When do you want to go?”
“Let’s go early tomorrow . As soon as the sun rises, we set off . Is that alright?”
“Yeah . I’ll come and pick you up tomorrow morning then . ”
He then left the room and went downstairs .
Huo Mian gently stroked her belly and said, “Be good my babies… Mommy will show you guys the wish your daddy wrote before . ”
Huo Mian stared into some distant place…
It seemed like yesterday . She remembered everything about the time she went to the temple with Qin Chu .
She had three wishes . She would kowtow every three steps .
Qin Chu was an atheist but he would do the same with her .
The couple was very pious: they climbed up to the top of the mountain and wrote down their wishes . Then, they tied their wishes to a tree .
Huo Mian didn’t see what Qin Chu wrote . She firmly believed that his wish would one day come true .
They decided that when their wishes were fulfilled, they would come back again together .
Qin Chu now vanished and Huo Mian did not know when he would come back .
Seasons past by and the babies were soon to be born . Yet, there was no news of Qin Chu at all .
Huo Mian drowned into slight despair .
She didn’t know what to do when she was in despair . She could only put hope in God .
Huo Mian wished for a child last time she went and she was now pregnant . Her wish was fulfilled .
This time, she was going to beg God to return Qin Chu to her .
She could sacrifice anything, including the children and her own life… She only wanted Qin Chu to return .
Huo Mian once again couldn’t sleep…
She picked up her diary from the drawer and a pen and started writing in it:
It’s been six months and five days since I got pregnant . The twins have been moving a lot more . I feel movements on both sides so I can tell they’re very outgoing children . Chu, if you were home, you would tell me to be patient, and that in a few months, I could drop these two little things… I’ve also been doing prenatal teaching on them too . I was listening to the background music from Hayao Miyazaki’s movies but then it suddenly changed to the song from “You Are the Apple in My Eye” . I started recalling the times we spent together at the 2nd High School… Those innocent and beautiful days… When are you going to come back? The twins and I are waiting for you…
Huo Mian’s diary was blotted with tears now…
