“Mian, you’re back?”

Qin Chu’s voice carried a special timbre… It was soothing to the core.

In a situation like this, where there were no outsiders, there was no need for him to pretend to be cruel.

As soon as Huo Mian heard him say ‘Mian, you’re back’, her face was already filled with tears.

She rushed towards him from the basement entrance and embraced his neck tightly…

Qin Chu hugged her tightly too…

They stayed like that in silence; no words were needed, but thousands of words were spoken.

After a long time…

Qin Chu finally let go of Huo Mian and asked, “What are you wearing?”

“Rick gave me some men’s clothing,” Huo Mian said as she took off her baseball cap, revealing her shoulder-length hair…

“Why are suddenly wearing men’s clothing?”

“To evade Huo Siqian’s men. They were following me.”

Qin Chu’s eyes darkened at the mention of Huo Siqian’s name…

Understanding what Qin Chu was feeling, Huo Mian cupped his face with her hands.

“Honey… I know why you wanted a divorce.”

“You do?” Qin Chu looked up, surprised.

“Yes… Huo Siqian used my family background to threaten you, didn’t he?”

“Mian… you…” Qin Chu couldn’t believe how easily Huo Mian found out something he tried so hard to hide.

Could it be that Huo Siqian went back on his words and told Huo Mian everything?

At the sight of a shocked Qin Chu, Huo Mian explained, “I got the information by myself. Su Yu found out for me that you saw Huo Siqian the day you asked me for a divorce. I knew then that he probably threatened you with something, and his threat definitely had something to do with me. It made me think back to the Snooker night’s footage. You rarely miss… but you made a mistake when he whispered into your ear that night. After I asked Su Yu for the surveillance, Xiaowei and I read Huo Siqian’s lips and realized that he was talking about my background. So… Huo Siqian threatened you with my true identity, didn’t he?”

“Mian… you really are clever.”

Qin Chu had to admit that it was impressive for Huo Mian to find out so much from so little.

“Just say yes or no! Don’t lie to me this time.”

“Yes, it’s true.” Qin Chu finally nodded in admission.

Upon hearing this, Huo Mian got on top of Qin Chu and straddled him, her hands pinching his cheeks. “Idiot… why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

“Because… your identity is special. If you found out… you would be in danger.”

“Then I don’t have to know! If you told me, I’ll just stop asking questions about my identity.”

“Don’t you want to find your family?” Qin Chu raised his head and gazed at Huo Mian lovingly.

“Compared to you, they’re not as important… If finding them means I have to lose you, I’d rather never find them…”

“Mian…” Huo Mian’s words truly shook Qin Chu to his core.

“I don’t care what other people think of me. It’s okay if they think I’m selfish. It’s honestly what I think. You are too important to me. If I have to lose you in order to find my family, I’d rather give up looking for them.”

Then, she cupped Qin Chu’s face with her hands and went in with a kiss…

She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes slightly curled up against his face…

When her pair of slightly cold lips touched his, Qin Chu felt his heart melt…

What threat? What plan? None of them mattered anymore…

At this moment, his only wish was to love Huo Mian and be with her the way she deserved.

The pair continued to kiss, both lost in the love and passion for one another…

It was Huo Mian’s first time aggressively pushing Qin Chu onto the floor of the wine cellar.

Maybe it was the fear of losing him that made her so aggressive and possessive.

Their clothes fell inch by inch, revealing their most primitive desires…

As far as Qin Chu was concerned, he was willing to spend the next life in hell if it meant that he could spend this one with Huo Mian like this.

It was the same for Huo Mian. As long as she could spend this lifetime next to Qin Chu, she wouldn’t mind going through hell and back, experiencing every pain in this world, because it would all be worth it.

A temporary memory wasn’t going to satisfy her. What she wanted was a lifetime of passion…

After they finished, Huo Mian lied down in Qin Chu’s arms, her face ruddied.

“Honey, let’s not part anymore. I hate being apart from you,” Huo Mian said.

Before Qin Chu could answer, she continued, “I can deal with that low-life Huo Siqian. You don’t have to worry about him.”

After a long time, Qin Chu gently combed through Huo Mian’s hair and asked, “Mian, do you want to know where your father and little sister are?”

“Father? Little sister?” Huo Mian’s eyes shot wide open at the sound of those words.
