“Mommy…” Pudding looked up and greeted her.
“My good baby girl…” Huo Mian reached out to touch Pudding’s face.
When her long nails glided on Pudding’s face, Pudding felt a cold shiver. Only then did she realize that Huo Mian had suddenly began keeping long nails.
When Huo Mian was working in the hospital, she was very aware of personal hygiene.
Since she often perford surgeries, she never kept long nails, so she would cut them once a week.
It seed like after she ca back this ti, she had never cut her nails and now they were so long that they were terrifying. When her nails glided on Pudding’s face, Pudding felt that her skin was pierced and it hurt slightly.
“You’re here already. Why don’t you co in and have so tea?” Huo Mian smiled as she invited Su Yu.
“It’s good. I have work to do. How are you feeling?”
“I’m alright.”
“I’ll co visit you another day.”
“Sure, see you.”
After politely saying goodbye to Su Yu, Huo Mian walked towards Pudding. She looked down at Pudding and asked her with curiosity, “Pudding, what are you thinking about?”
“Mommy, why are you wearing this?”
“Why? Don’t you think purple is very pretty?”
“But didn’t you say you refuse to wear mink because it’s cruel to kill animals?”
Huo Mian smiled and said, “I didn’t buy this. I don’t know which relative bought it for for my last birthday. Your grandma told that it’s just been sitting there in the closet. It’s getting cold and I’m not feeling that well. I’m just going to wear it for now.”
“Oh…” Pudding didn’t speak much more. Instead, she looked down as if she were pondering sothing.
When Pudding went inside, she went to wash her hands with Little Bean to have dinner.
anwhile, Huo Mian sat by the burning fireplace still, as if she was thinking about sothing, but no one could really tell what.
Qin Chu’s parents were going out with old friends to a charity event and weren’t ho yet. Apparently, it was a charity event for deaf and mute kids.
That was why there were only the servants and the twins at ho.
“Uncle Li…”
“Yes Ma’am.”
“Pour a glass of wine.”
“But ma’am, your health condition…”
“It’s alright. I can have a little. I want red wine.”
“Yes ma’am. Please wait one sec.”
Since Uncle Li couldn’t convince Huo Mian, he had soone go to the wine cellar to get red wine.
Huo Mian looked at the twins and thought they were annoying…
This was what was going on in Huo Mian’s head: “That older one seems smart. Does she know sothing? Let’s keep this going for a bit longer and see. As soon as I sleep Qin Chu, I win.”
On her face, however, was a sweet smile. She looked lovingly at the twins.
On the other side of the world, across the ocean, was the pregnant Huo Mian. She was in a very artistic place, a round glass room under the sea. With the lights illuminating the glass room, she could see all sorts of fish around. It was a magnificent sight, much prettier than any aquariums she had ever been to.
“Ms. Mian, here is your dinner.” A maid called ssiah and two younger maids ca into the room to take care of Huo Mian.
They had brought in expensive food like lobster, abalone, crab, shrimp as big as one’s palm, and much more.
“It’s okay if you want to eat less seafood. We have made you bird’s nest soup and you should drink it while it’s hot.”
“ssiah, I want to see your master and talk to her,” Huo Mian said calmly.
