Chapter 4133: Mian, It’s Mom (3)

“No, I haven’t gotten it since.”

“Really?”

“It’s unrelated... I feel like... It has been too easy...”

Rick was a little taken aback. “Easy? You guys blew up Huo Siqian and the other bad guys... Even though you lost your baby, it was the best case scenario considering Huo Mian and Su Yu returned safely.”

“But those bad guys... Are they really dead? If they died so easily, my father-in-law wouldn’t have made me and Lu Yan turn back.”

“You mean... There are still some of them left alive? Maybe they took Lu Yan?”

Rick’s brain spun quick and realized it immediately.

“Not sure, it’s just a gut feeling. I’ve been investigating too, I hope I’ll get proof.”

“Okay, Chu, just be careful. Come, let’s keep drinking.”

Rick knew Qin Chu was always a cautious person, so it was normal for him to have such worries.

Tonight was him letting Qin Chu get it off his chest.

At least that could resolve his temporary distress.

That night, Qin Chu drank quite a lot but not too much.

It was three thirty in the morning when he got home.

It was Qin Chu’s chauffeur that drove the two drunks home.

When Rick got home, Xixi was still awake.

Xixi normally lived with her parents, but when Rick was in the city, the couple lived in a luxury apartment downtown gifted to them by Qin Chu.

It was one of GK’s properties, with one square meter costing up to eighty thousand dollars.

The apartment was 160 square meters and came furnished with luxurious furniture.

Xixi wanted to await delivery in China, so Rick, Xixi, their housekeeper, and bodyguard all lived there.

Right as Rick came in, Xixi jumped into his embrace.

“You’re back so late?”

“I was drinking with Qin Chu.”

Rick’s breath reeked like alcohol and made Xixi dizzy.

“You don’t say...”

“What? You don’t like me?”

“I have your child, how could I not like you? Don’t fool around like that.”

Smiling, Xixi helped Rick take off his jacket and poured him a glass of water.

“Sit down, don’t run around with your big belly.”

Rick didn’t want Xixi to do housework, so he grabbed her and pulled her into his embrace.

Xixi’s face immediately turned red.

Normally, Rick didn’t know how to flirt.

He rarely showed affection physically throughout their relationship.

But today, maybe it was the alcohol that was giving him the guts.

“Rick, are you okay?”

“Nothing, I’m just lamenting.”

“Lamenting on what?” Xixi raised her head and looked at Rick’s handsome face in a daze.

“Qin Chu and Huo Mian are so in love, and they’ve been through so much together. It’s easy to fall in love, but it’s hard to stay with each other... I’m realizing how much difficulty came with everything we have.”

“Yeah, I think so too... I just hope that our little baby comes out safely and grows up healthily.”

Xixi caressed her round belly and leaned against Rick’s chest.

“Too bad they lost their child, otherwise, you two would be in the hospital together.”

“Yeah, I counted down the days, there are only twelve days left... It’s really cruel, I’m not brave enough to visit Huo Mian and comfort her.”

Thinking of Huo Mian and Qin Chu’s lost child made Xixi’s eyes red.

At South Hill Manor.

“Sweetie, you’re home?”

When Qin Chu came back in the middle of the night, he was going to go into the study. That was when he realized that Huo Mian was sitting in the study in silence.

Her sudden voice made Qin Chu feel that something was extremely eerie.
