My Youth Began With Him

Faced with Qin Chu’s ironic remarks, Huo Siqian didn’t get angry; instead, he laughed…

Turning his body towards the ocean and setting sun, he slowly said, “You know how much I like her…”

Qin Chu didn’t respond; he only looked at him with an indifferent expression on her face.

“Have you ever wondered why I never told her how I felt about her?” he asked.

Qin Chu coldly replied, “I indeed have.”

“I fell in love with her years ago. Back then, she was only a teenager… I met her way before you did… but her liking you infuriate me. I couldn’t do anything, because back then, I lived like a dog at the Huo Family… Haha, Huo Zhenghai kept sleeping around, Shen Jiani had a man on the side but pretended to be all loyal… Those two idiots, Huo Yanyan and Huo Siqian, thought extremely highly of themselves… To make things worse, my perverted stepmother had an S&M fetish. She often snuck into my bedroom, tore off my clothes, and whipped me with a belt. However, even if I’m covered in wounds, no one cared about me because I was no more than a dog to them… How could I tell Mian how I felt about her? Haha…”

After saying all that, Huo Siqian burst out laughing while Qin Chu stood there, a little shocked.

He knew Huo Siqian’s childhood was probably worse than most. But the reality was much worse than he anticipated.

No wonder he seemed so odd all the time – the Huo Family produced a monster.

This also explained why he hated everyone in the Huo Family so much.

“I sucked it up and survived for this long… just so I could climb above them. Now that I’ve succeeded… I’m ready to claim what I lost.”

Qin Chu knew Huo Siqian was referring to Huo Mian.

“You didn’t lose her, she was never yours to begin with. Who cares if you met her before I did? Do you really expect a ten-year-old girl to understand love? You can’t guarantee that she’d like you if you told her how you felt about her back then.”

“Haha, I wouldn’t be so sure, and neither should you… I can’t turn back time, so who knows what would’ve happened if I told her back then? I don’t care about her past either, I just want to spend the rest of my life with her. She’s the only ray of sunlight in my dark life, and the only thing I’ll ever care about…”

“She’s my life… do you think I’d survive without my life?” Qin Chu was infuriated.

“Haha… why would I care about that? I don’t care what others think, nor do I care about their happiness. I only care if I’m happy… and I think Mian would be happy as well.”

“She’ll hate you to death,” Qin Chu corrected him.

“No… this life is really long, one day Mian will understand me and my love for her.”

“Cut the crap, I don’t have time to bullshit with you. Didn’t you ask me to meet you so you can tell me about Mian’s family?” Qin Chu was fresh out of patience; he wasn’t interested in arguing with a crazy person about who liked Huo Mian first and who loved her more.

Because it didn’t matter… Huo Mian was his; no matter what others say, it was the truth.

Upon hearing this, Huo Siqian threw a yellow envelope at Qin Chu. “It’s all in here, take a look at it for yourself.”

Qin Chu quickly opened the envelope, reading all the documents and going through all the photos.

He was left completely dumbfounded…

He was at a loss for words; he knew Mian’s family was probably of special status, but this was something he had never anticipated.

“It’s fun, right? Now, do you get why she’s so talented? Everyone in her family members has a monster-like IQ, and Mian’s little sister is a great big headache… she’s on Interpol’s most-wanted list… and her dad, who’s been playing M Nation’s National Security Bureau like a fiddle… Haha.”

Huo Siqian stopped talking and watched as Qin Chu’s hands began to slightly tremble…
