"Mhm, I'm hungry . What are we having tonight?" Huo Mian stuck her tongue out .
"You'll find out in a bit . Go wash your hands . "
Huo Mian went upstairs . She changed into a light red tracksuit, washed her hands, and then went back downstairs .
Qin Chu had already placed the food on the dining table . . .
It was actually… a seafood feast . . .
Spicy stir-fried crabs, steamed crabs, boiled clams, garlic-steamed scallops, boiled conch, and her favorite - steamed mantis shrimp .
"Did you go to the seafood market?"
"No, I got someone from GK to buy it from some fishermen off the boat . Seafood is fresher when you buy it like that . "
"Honey, you know me so well . "
Huo Mian was drooling over the table full of seafood . . .
"Eat as much as you want . But before that, drink some ginger tea to warm up your tummy . " After speaking, Qin Chu handed her a bowl of ginger and brown sugar tea .
Huo Mian's heart felt warm from Qin Chu's detailed care .
"But you'll get enteritis from eating seafood! What are you going to eat?" Huo Mian was a little worried .
"I made some pickled vegetables and pork noodles for myself . "
"Uh… But doesn't it seem like I'm bullying you by eating a seafood feast and making you eat noodles?"
"I don't think you've ever been on top of me (TL: in Chinese, the second half of the word bully also means being on top; so yeah, great play on words… Big Boy Qin) yet since we got married . "
"Pff… Mr . Qin, don't be so dirty, I'm being serious here . "
"I've always been serious . " Qin Chu lowered his head and ate a mouthful of noodles .
"Fine, fine . I knew you were just teasing me . Honey, Director Wu held a meeting today, and he said… he said he wanted to send me to the British Royal Hospital to be an exchange doctor . What do you think?" Huo Mian purposefully asked .
After speaking, she secretly glanced to see Qin Chu's reaction . . .
As she had expected, Qin Chu's hand paused for a second before he raised his head and looked at Huo Mian, "The Royal Hospital has a great global reputation, and it's great that you have an opportunity to go . "
"But I would be gone for 6 months . Won't you miss me?"
"No," Qin Chu's reply was crisp and clear .
Huo Mian was a little disappointed… She lowered her head and silently ate the mantis shrimp .
Just then, Qin Chu added, "I'll go to England with you . I will still have to see you every day, what is there to miss?"
"You'll going to England too? What about GK?" Huo Mian's eyes opened wide .
"That's my father's business, not mine . "
"Honey . . . you're too great," Huo Mian said sweetly and then smiled, "I'm actually just teasing you, I already rejected Director Wu's offer . I'm not going to England because my family is here and I don't want to leave . I'm already satisfied with my life as it is . "
"Mian, if you really want to go, I'll go with you . " Qin Chu knew that learning medicine had always been Huo Mian's greatest pursuit .
Huo Mian shook her head, "I don't want to go anymore . Everyone has different dreams at different stages of their lives . I may have wanted to be a doctor a long time ago, but now, I am perfectly satisfied . Why should I change my life now?"
"No matter what you decide, I'll support you . "
"If you're an emperor, you must be an incapable one, haha, focusing so much on your queen," Huo Mian gleefully laughed .
"It won't matter as long as you're the reason for my incapacity, right?"
The seafood feast rendered Huo Mian fully satisfied, and the two of them cuddled to sleep . The next morning, Huo Mian went to work early .
It was already 8:45 AM when Tingting strolled in late . . .
"Traffic jam," Tingting simply said, as she did not realize the consequences of her tardiness .
"Five minutes late is a fine of a hundred yuan, ten minutes is two hundred . You're fifteen minutes late . Before eleven o'clock, please pay your three-hundred-yuan fine at the Finance Department," Huo Mian spoke in a formal tone .
"What gives you the right to do that?" Tingting was immediately furious as she looked at Huo Mian angrily .
