3510 Everyone is Worrying 5
"Yeah. The girl is at the airport now. I sent a chauffeur to pick her up."
"Okay. Auntie, I'll do as you say."
"Excellent. I do appreciate it, Mian."
Mrs. Su caught Huo Mian's hand in excitement.
She was even more eager to see her son married since all his friends had got married and even had children.
His best friend Wei Liao's son was several years old now.
Even Tang Chuan, the playboy, had proposed and would have a wedding soon.
At her age, Mrs. Su was eager to have her own grandson.
Even though she knew her request wasn't fair to Huo Mian, she still did it.
Huo Mian returned to her office to get busy.
When she got a moment for herself, she mulled over Shen Mingxi's words.
It seemed Huo Yanyan wouldn't be able to live long in this state.
Did she want to starve herself to death?
At this thought, Huo Mian felt sad. Touching her big belly, she truly thought her life was peaceful and content compared to the unfortunate people.
At this moment, Qin Chu started a video-chat with her.
She pressed the answer button immediately.
"Honey, are you busy?"
"No."
"What are you thinking?"
"Nothing."
"I don't believe you."
"It's true. I have too many things on my mind, so I decided to turn my mind blank for a while."
"Did you eat?"
"It's not lunchtime yet. Why should I eat?" Huo Mian was amused.
"Didn't we agree that you must add a meal before lunch from today on? You can drink some milk and eat some bread, or you'll get hungry."
"Are you afraid I'll starve your son?"
"Do you think I'm a guy who values boys more than girls? I'm just worried about you."
Qin Chu knew his wife was a workaholic and always forgot to eat when she was busy.
"Got it, Mr. Qin. I'll follow your orders."
"Then you must eat now."
"I... don't have food in the office."
"Don't worry. I sent someone to deliver food to you. I guess he'd be there any minute."
The moment he said it, Huo Mian heard a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Huo Mian yelled at the door while she was still on video chat with Qin Chu.
"Dr. Huo, President Qin had me order this for you."
"Put it on the desk. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The guy put down a big bag and left.
"My goodness. Such a big bag. It's not a snack. I think it will last me for three days."
Huo Mian put down her cellphone and opened the plastic bag.
There were freshly steamed jujube cakes, Osmanthus cakes, exquisite small mooncakes, chocolate wafers, and all kinds of beverages such as flower tea, fruit tea, and warm milk.
"If Little Bean saw these, she'd go crazy, " Huo Mian said with a chuckle.
"So to prevent your daughter from going crazy, you can't bring them home. Eat them in your office."
"But I can't eat them all. I can eat a little each day."
"No. This is today's snacks and you must finish them, or they'll expire."
"Do you take me as a pig?" Huo Mian was exasperated.
"You can share them with your colleagues." Qin Chu smiled gently.
"Then they'll be jealous of me for having such a great husband."
"No. How dare they be jealous of their vice-director?" Qin Chu teased her.
"Oh, Honey, I need to talk to you about something."
"What's it?"
"Huo Yanyan... wants to see me."
Hearing Huo Yanyan's name, Qin Chu's smile disappeared slowly.
