My Youth Began With Him - Chapter 69

Chapter 69

Huo Mian didn't expect Qin Chu to be so direct and, therefore, was slightly taken aback .

Then she blushed .

"No," she replied .

"If you're not afraid, then what are you waiting for? Go to bed . " With that, Qin Chu turned around and walked upstairs towards the bedroom .

That night, before Qin Chu had come home, Huo Mian already roughly familiarized herself with the structure of the condo .

It was a two hundred square meter, two-level unit . There was a spacious living room, dining room, bathroom, kitchen, and study downstairs .

The upper level seemed to consist of three bedrooms and a bathroom .

With a setup like this, there would be enough space to house the two of them even if they had two children .

Watching Qin Chu climb up the stairs, Huo Mian immediately regretted her big mouth . Why did she have to respond so carelessly?

Now, look what she had done . If she didn't follow him, it would seem like she was going back on her word . However, she really wasn't ready .

Seven years ago, she loved Qin Chu with all her heart, but it didn't mean things were still the same now .

Truth be told, she didn't even know how she felt about Qin Chu .

She had agreed to marry him purely to ensure Zhixin's wellbeing .

Of course, there had been some degree of personal emotions mixed in as well . . .

Qin Chu entered the first bedroom on the second floor, and Huo Mian slowly followed him inside .

The room was spacious, with black-and-white décor . It suited Qin Chu's style .

"What did you follow me in for? How badly do you want to want to sleep in the same bed as me?" Qin Chu looked at Huo Mian with a half-joking expression .

Huo Mian, caught by surprise, didn't know how to react .

"Your bedroom is next door, good night . " With that, Qin Chu closed the door with a thump .

He left Huo Mian outside, with an innocent look on her face .

Huo Mian hadn't yet figured out how to react, and her adorkable expression nearly broke Qin Chu's self-restraint . All he wanted was to go over and kiss her for all he was worth .

After Qin Chu closed the door, he slowly leaned against it .

Although he wanted more than anything to hold her as they fell asleep, he knew that she wasn't ready for that yet .



He didn't want to force her . He wanted to give her time .

Time to slowly get back to where they were seven years ago .

Besides, she was already legally his wife, wasn't she?

At this thought, Qin Chu's lips tugged into a contented smile .

Only then did Huo Mian fully process what Qin Chu had just said . She walked over to the second bedroom and pushed open the door .

The interior was decorated in light beige, accented with purple . These were all colors she liked .

So, he still remembers everything and prepared this room for her in advance . . .

She thought that he would force her, but he didn't .

"Qin Chu… what am I to do with you?" Caressing the white vanity table, Huo Mian's expression became sorrowful .

She admitted that she no longer had much hatred left in her .

Every time she needed help, this man had always been there .

But… if you love me that much, why did you disappear for seven years?



We've already wasted seven years…

Huo Mian spent a long time in melancholy . In the end, she went to the en-suite bathroom for a hot bath . When she came out, she laid down on the bed, exhausted .

She had always been picky about beds . In the past, whenever she was out of the city and had to stay at a hotel, she would always have trouble sleeping .

She thought that tonight would be no different . However, to her surprise, she slept astonishingly well .

The light fragrance of lavender filled the room, along with dreamlike multicolored lights . Every detail had been designed with care .

Huo Mian found it hard to believe that Qin Chu bought this condo on short notice . How could everything be so perfect?

- Late that night -

Filtering through the window, faint moonlight spilled into the room .

Quietly, Qin Chu pushed open the door and walked inside . He stood quietly by the window .

Staring down at the sleeping girl on the bed, his eyes were filled with tenderness .

No one knew just how long he had been waiting for this day . . .

Just as no one knew how much he loved this woman named Huo Mian .



- The next morning -

Although it was only 7 AM when Huo Mian got up, Qin Chu was already nowhere to be found .

A sandwich sat ready on the table, along with a glass of milk .

Huo Mian had to admit that she was touched by his gesture .

Before, when she lived under the same roof as Ning Zhiyuan, she was always the one who cooked .

By and by, she had grown used to it .
 
Today, seeing that someone had prepared breakfast for her, she felt an indescribable warmth rise within her .

- At GK Headquarters -

Walking through the door, Assistant Yang heard the president's computer playing music .

After he realized what the song was, he nearly choked on his own spit .

"Pre… President Qin," Yang stuttered .
