My Youth Began With Him

“Um… egg-fried rice is simple, but you want it a little overcooked?” Qin Chu struggled for a few seconds, and Huo Mian laughed, “Is it too hard for you?”

“Nope, my goal is to fulfill your every wish.”

Then, Qin Chu put on his bathrobe and went downstairs to make Huo Mian food, startling all the maids in the house.

“Sir, we can do it-” The maids all came out and stood in a row.

“No, it’s okay, you guys should get some rest. I can do it.” Qin Chu was in a great mood, so his tone was gentler than usual.

Upon seeing a man with such high-status cook for his wife, the maids couldn’t help but exclaim, “The Young Master is amazing… men are most handsome when they cook.”

“Yeah, the Young Master must really love his wife, I heard they began dating when they were in high school. It’s amazing.”

“She’s so lucky to have a man who loves her as much as the Young Master does.”

“The Young Madam is great to the Young Master too, he’s been out of town for a while and she’s been helping out at the company every day… Anyways, they’re perfect for each other, they’re soulmates!”

By the time Qin Chu went upstairs with the food, Huo Mian was still playing games on her phone. Qin Chu handed her the bowl of fried rice. “Ma’am, your food is ready.”

“Thank you, my lord.”

“You’re welcome… if you want, I’ll make you fried rice every day.”

“Really?” Huo Mian chuckled.

“Mhm, you can take care of the company and I’ll be in charge of cooking.”

“Haha… sounds like a plan.” Huo Mian was in a great mood and put a spoonful of fried rice in her mouth.

It tasted surprisingly good; egg-fried rice seemed like a simple dish, but it actually required technique. The chef had to make sure it wasn’t over nor undercooked.

He put the perfect amount of salt as well, and the aromatic smell of green onions quickly dispersed within the bedroom.

She scooped up another spoonful and gestured at Qin Chu. “Honey, have some.”

Qin Chu slowly opened his mouth and took a bite…

They both had one spoon after another and soon, the entire bowl of fried rice was gone.

Qin Chu exclaimed, “For a second there, I thought we just started dating.”

“I plan on dating you for the rest of my life.” Huo Mian smiled sweetly.

After brushing their teeth, they laid in bed as Qin Chu held Huo Mian in his arms. “Honey.”

“Mhm?”

“Did you have a bad dream?”

“Why would you ask that?” Huo Mian froze.

“You reacted really intensely when I came back and kissed you… it seemed like you were running away from something.”

Feeling mixed emotions, Huo Mian hesitated before replying slowly, “Mhm… I think I haven’t had enough sleep recently, so I had a bad dream.”

“What did you dream about?”

“Vampires and other stuff like that, I was really freaked out.” Huo Mian didn’t tell Qin Chu what happened tonight, because he would be worried sick if he found out. Qin Chu was exhausted enough as it was, and Huo Mian didn’t want to distract him.

“Honey, how are things in T City?”

“All done.”

“What about Jiang Linyue’s body?”

“I cremated her body according to her parent’s wishes, it’s still at the graveyard. Her parents are going to be back in a few days, they want to bury her ashes abroad.”

“Oh… I really hope the police can bring the murderer to justice. That way, she can rest in peace.” Huo Mian never liked Jiang Linyue, but… she had to respect those who died. Therefore, no matter how scheming Jiang Linyue used to be, Huo Mian would never say anything bad about her again.

The next morning, Huo Mian and Qin Chu went to the company together.

Before the morning meeting, however, Bella nervously knocked and came in. “President Qin, Young Madam.”

“Yeah?” Huo Mian looked up, and Bella said anxiously, “Something happened over at GK Film and Television, you should go take a look.”

“What happened?” As soon as Huo Mian heard the words ‘something happened’, all the nerves in her brain jumped up.

It really was a period of trouble, where random incidents happened time and again.

Before she left, Bella whispered into Huo Mian’s ear, “Young Madam, I think there’s a mole over there, you have to investigate.”
