“I’m not afraid to say that Qin Chu is the first man I ever had a crush on.”
“Oh,” Huo Mian nodded; she wasn’t surprised at all.
It was perfectly normal for others to have a crush on her Mr. Qin, given how outstanding and brilliant he was.
“I lived with his family when I was 8 years old, and his parents treated me like I was their own. I’m very grateful for that time, but after I moved back with my own family, I never got to see Qin Chu again. However, I haven’t forgotten about that friend of mine this whole time… haha… I’m not afraid of being laughed at for saying this, but I never thought that a man like Qin Chu would get married so young… I thought he would at least wait at least until he was more than thirty-years-old.”
“So you’ve never done anything, or even confessed your feelings for him?” asked Huo Mian.
“No… it might be because I was over-confident. I didn’t find out that you guys got married until I came back. I was quite surprised, and my parents haven’t told me anything about it, perhaps they were worried that I would be upset… Qin Chu’s mother didn’t mention this either when she called… I seem to be the only one left in the dark about this.”
“So he doesn’t know you like him?” Huo Mian looked at Song Yishi; from the way she spoke, it didn’t seem like Qin Chu knew about her feelings towards her.
“He doesn’t know, I never told him.”
“Then do you plan to tell him?” Huo Mian asked, word for word.
Song Yishi slightly stiffened, as if she didn’t know how to respond…
“The truth is, I’ve never thought of this question.”
Song Yishi indeed was being honest. If she said that she didn’t plan on confessing, then it would be a lie, because she had had a crush on him for all these years.
If she said that she planned on confessing, then it would be a lie as well, because he was already married. If she made any moves, then she would definitely be labeled as the ‘other woman’.
At that exact moment, the perfect answer was that she ‘never thought about it’…
“Then did you come to find me today just out of curiosity? Just to see what I looked like?”
“I guess so… so please forgive me if I’ve disturbed your work.”
“It’s fine. It’s my lunch break right now, so you’re not disturbing me.”
Song Yishi smiled; then, she looked at Huo Mian and said, “Mrs. Qin doesn’t seem to like you. She told me a lot of bad things about you when I visited her yesterday. However truth be told, I don’t believe her… because I don’t think Qin Chu is dumb enough to fall for such a disheveled woman. Qin Chu’s mother might be biased against you… but that’s not an issue. I think you won the lottery, being able to win over Qin Chu’s love.”
“So are you feeling a bit envious of me?”
Huo Mian suddenly asked…
Song Yishi nodded without hiding away. “I do envy you, with hints of jealousy, but there is no hate… I believe that God has already made the best plans for me before I even realized it.”
“Miss Song, you truly are an accommodating person, and the way you speak and act are very composed as well.”
Huo Mian noticed that Song Yishi was truly flawless in the way she spoke…
Her IQ and EQ were no less than Huo Mian’s, if not even higher.
Song Yishi surpassed women like Jiang Linyue and Zhao Qingya by quite a lot…
However, because of this, women like her would be terrifying if they were to become the enemy, because they were too good at their games.
“Okay, it’s about time, I shouldn’t waste your time anymore… Let’s meet again when we get a chance.” Song Yishi stood up after she spoke, but she stopped after she took a few steps forward.
She turned around with a smile on her face. “I’m truly thankful for the lunch you treated me to. The beef was very good.”
After Song Yishi left, two little nurses came over and asked, “Head Nurse, was that your friend? She is so pretty… and she looks a lot like Lin Chiling.”
“She isn’t my friend, I don’t have such gorgeous girlfriends.” Huo Mian smiled.
She had a sense of self-awareness and would never toot her own horn…
Song Yishi was Qin Chu’s friend at most, so she wasn’t her friend, right?
She only had two friends – dummy Zhu Lingling, and that challenging doctor, Jiang Xiaowei.
Just as Huo Mian was about to get off from work in the afternoon, she received a call from Yingzi.
“Young Madam, please hurry over, Ni Yang…”
“What happened to him?”
“You’ll know when you get here. We’re at the mansion by Phoenix Splendid Shore.”
GK owned this mansion, and it was a gift Qin Chu gave to Ni Yang and Mo Xue’er when they first met.
Each of them had one mansion to themselves, surrounded by beautiful scenery in a secluded area, so their privacy was protected…
Huo Mian didn’t hesitate at all after she heard what Yingzi said and immediately headed towards Ni Yang’s home.
