We are in Big Trouble 4

“You don’t know how busy I’ve been today…” Lu Yan complained.

Huo Mian wanted to ask where Yan was but changed her mind due to her fear of being eavesdropped on.

She changed the subject. “Do you miss your twin nieces?”

“Of course I do. How are they? Do they miss me?”

“Of course. Little Bean cried and sulked all day long after she learned you were gone. Pudding didn’t say it but I’m sure she was sad. When she feels low, she just sits there in silence and doesn’t talk to anyone.”

“Heihei. The kiddos are not bad; I didn’t waste the tens of millions of yuan on them.” Lu Yan was smug.

“Oh, Yan, An came to see me the other day.”

“Why?”

“He bought you things and asked me to mail them to you if I can.”

“What did he buy?” Lu Yan was puzzled.

“He said they were snacks. An said you like to eat the snacks popular in the 90s. Is it so?”

“Um… Do White Rabbit Creamy Candies count?” Lu Yan remembered she had bought some in a convenience shop when she strolled around the city with An.

“Okay. Your taste is quite strange.” Huo Mian chuckled.

“This fellow is… stubborn.” Lu Yan was surprised that An was still trying to do such fruitless things after she rejected him frankly.

“He is just being kind. If you can receive packages, give me your address.”

“Forget it. I have to be secretive to make a call, and you want to mail packages to me? Do you want to get me killed?”

“What should I do? Return the box to him? Do you think it’s a good idea?”

“No. Little Bean and Pudding can eat the snacks.”

“Forget it. He bought them for you. How about this? I’ll keep them until you come back. They won’t expire soon anyway.”

“Dr. Huo, does it mean that you are eager for me to go back and see you?” Lu Yan was smug again.

“What do you think?”

“Haha. Sis, I know you miss me, but I’ve got things to do and can’t return right now.”

Before Huo Mian could speak, she heard a voice call out over the phone, “Boss, Mr. Qiao is asking for you.”

“Yan, are you with Qiao Fei?”

“Yeah.”

“Then I won’t worry about you.”

“Okay. I’ve got to go. Sis, I’ll talk to you later.” Lu Yan hung up.

Huo Mian was worried about her sister, but she knew the latter was a mercenary and didn’t need her protection.

Hanging up, Huo Mian had a feeling that something else needed her attention.

Racking her brains, she finally remembered that she had intended to chat with Han Yueyao on WeChat and ask how the girl was doing.

After all, Auntie Su had asked her to take care of the girl.

She had added Han Yueyao’s WeChat contact before supper that day.

Opening her WeChat account, she found the girl’s profile picture which was a cute white bunny with a red face.

Huo Mian: “Yao-Yao?”

“Sister Mian,” she replied almost instantly.

Huo Mian: “Are you in bed now? Did I wake you up or something?”

Han Yueyao: “No, no. I usually sleep quite late.”

Huo Mian: “How do you feel about the dorm after sleeping there last night?”

Han Yueyao: “It’s fantastic. Imperial Star’s dorm rooms are quite fancy. It’s luxurious since I share the room with only one other girl. But last night my roommate didn’t come back, so I haven’t met her yet.”

Huo Mian: “Were you afraid all by yourself?”

Han Yueyao: “No. Haha. I’m not a child.”

Huo Mian: “Good. Did Su Yu… contact you after?”

Huo Mian remembered Su Yu and Han Yueyao had added each other’s WeChat after supper. Of course, Su Yu had done it because he thought Han Yueyao was Huo Mian’s relative; otherwise, he wouldn’t have done that with a young girl he wasn’t familiar with.

Han Yueyao: “No, he didn’t.”

Huo Mian: “Oh. It’s fine. Don’t worry. Su Yu is very busy. You can talk to him more often when you have the chance.”

Han Yueyao: “Sister Mian, do you think Su Yu’s my type?”
