His wife's pregnancy bump disappeared, and Mr. Huo was going crazy missing her.
Chapter 73 Can You Stay With Me?
Huo Yanbei removed his arm from her embrace, looked down at his watch, and said, "It's already past ten o'clock. Let's discharge you tomorrow morning."
Song Man thought for a moment, then took his arm again: "Yan Bei, could you stay with me tonight?"
The man's expression remained calm, and he uttered a single syllable, "Hmm."
……
The next day.
Saturday.
After Qiao Mian finished feeding the children breakfast, she started washing clothes and cleaning the room.
Qiao Mucheng nestled on the sofa, opened his phone, and was about to play a game when he saw that his WeChat friend request had been accepted.
His eyes lit up, and he excitedly called his younger siblings over.
"Uncle Huo has been added to the list."
Qiao Muyue: "Should we send him a message?"
Qiao Muxin's eyes sparkled. "Let's ask Uncle Huo if he's good-looking first."
Qiao Mucheng and Qiao Muye glared at her speechlessly. "It's impolite to ask someone if they're good-looking right off the bat."
After saying that, Qiao Mucheng edited a sentence and sent it out.
Are you very rich?
Qiao Muxin's eyebrows twitched. "Brother, isn't it even more impolite of you to ask that?"
"I'll do it!"
Qiao Muyue took the phone from Qiao Mucheng, typed a message, and sent it: "Are you married?"
Qiao Muxin rolled her eyes: "You guys are being so direct, you'll scare Uncle Huo away. Let me do it!"
After saying that, he snatched the phone, clumsily typed a line of text, and sent it.
Send me a photo, it has to be a handsome one.
After reading it, Qiao Mucheng and Qiao Muyue raised their hands and gave their younger sister a flick on the forehead: "This is harassment, you'll get blocked."
"What do you mean by blocking?"
As Qiao Mian was mopping the floor, she heard the three children arguing about something, so she stopped and asked them a question.
The three little ones, feeling guilty, stood up from the sofa and shook their heads in unison.
Seeing the strange expressions on the children's faces, Qiao Mian pretended to be serious and asked them, "Have you been doing something naughty behind your mother's back?"
Qiao Muxin was so frightened that she hid behind her two older brothers.
Qiao Mucheng and Qiao Muye exchanged a glance, pursed their lips, and neither of them spoke.
Qiao Mian found the children increasingly strange.
Seeing that Qiao Mucheng's small hand holding the phone suddenly went behind his back, she was about to reach for the phone when she heard a knock on the door.
She walked over, opened the door, and saw that it was Aunt Zhang.
Just as I was wondering what was going on, a bag containing unknown contents was stuffed into my arms.
"Xiao Qiao, these are local specialties sent by my distant relatives. I'm just an old woman and can't eat much, so I'm giving you some. Don't mind them."
Aunt Zhang said with a smile.
Qiao Mian paused for a moment, then handed the heavy bag back: "Thank you, Aunt Zhang, you should keep it for yourself."
Aunt Zhang was known for her frugality in the alley.
His sudden enthusiasm and the gifts he gave her were truly perplexing.
Even if she wanted to accept it, she wouldn't dare.
After all, one is bound to be obligated to accept gifts or favors.
"Oh! Xiao Qiao, are you still angry with me for not helping you watch the kids last time?"
Aunt Zhang asked with a smile.
Qiao Mian shook her head, "No, Aunt Zhang, you're overthinking it."
"Then I'll accept it. We're neighbors, no need to be so polite!"
As she spoke, Aunt Zhang stuffed the bag back into her arms.
Qiao Mian had no choice but to accept it and thanked her again.
Seeing that Aunt Zhang was staring at her and smiling, she guessed that she had something to say, so she invited her in and sat down. "Aunt Zhang, is there something you need from me?"
Before getting to the point, Aunt Zhang leaned closer and asked, "Xiao Qiao, are you really a lawyer?"
Qiao Mian nodded. "Yes."
"This old woman of mine isn't very knowledgeable, could you please show me your lawyer's license?"
"good……"
Although she didn't know Aunt Zhang's intentions, she still got up, took out her lawyer's license from her bag, and showed it to the other party.
After reading it, Aunt Zhang slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Goodness, you really are a lawyer! I knew it! Twice, when I saw you get out of a luxury car, I thought I was seeing things!"
Hearing this, Qiao Mian finally understood why Aunt Zhang had suddenly become so warm towards her.
Previously, Aunt Zhang thought she was doing shady business and looked down on her.
They only became friendly after learning she was a lawyer.
People are realistic after all; that's normal.
"Aunt Zhang, please speak frankly."
Aunt Zhang grabbed her small hand, looked her up and down, and said with a smile, "Little Qiao, you're a mother of three now, but you still look like a girl in her early twenties."
As she spoke, she glanced at the three children sitting on the sofa and continued with a smile, "I have a distant cousin who came back from abroad and now works for a big company, earning tens of thousands a month. He wants to find a partner, and that's why I thought of you."
Qiao Mian was surprised that Aunt Zhang had come to arrange a marriage. She awkwardly withdrew her hand from Aunt Zhang's palm and said frankly, "Aunt Zhang, I'm not considering finding a partner for the time being."
"Oh, you don't understand. Women should take advantage of their youth and quickly find a good man to settle down with."
Aunt Zhang smiled and took her hand again. "You're beautiful and a lawyer. I think you and my nephew are a good match. Let's arrange to meet sometime."
"I……"
"I'll let you know once we've made the arrangements."
After finishing her story, Aunt Zhang got up and left with a smile.
Qiao Mian didn't take it to heart.
After tidying up the house, I called Ruan Wei.
Invite her to a buffet.
However, Ruan Wei said she couldn't come because of school matters, so she had to take the children out by herself.
……
The Rolls-Royce was parked in the hospital's underground parking lot.
Chen Ke returned to the car. "Mr. Huo, please wait a moment. Miss Song Man is going to Dr. Wen's office to get her medicine. She'll be down in a bit."
"Um."
Huo Yanbei slowly exhaled a smoke ring, remained silent for a few seconds, and then ordered, "Get the Huafu Apartment ready."
Chen Ke asked in surprise, "You're moving in?"
The man flicked his cigarette ash and didn't say anything.
After a moment's reaction, Chen Ke asked, "For Attorney Qiao?"
Huo Yanbei nodded.
Chen Ke: "Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."
Just then, my phone rang.
Huo Yanbei took out his phone and opened it to take a look.
Several messages popped up on WeChat.
Do you have money?
【Are you married?】
[You sent me a photo; it has to be a handsome one.]
After reading these three messages, Huo Yanbei's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Qiao Mian, that woman... is inexplicable!
He put his phone away and ignored it.
After a while, she opened WeChat and replied, "Are you Qiao Mian?"
The other party replied: "[I am Qiao Mian, please answer my question honestly.]"
Huo Yanbei gave a playful smirk and replied: [Rich, unmarried.]
As for the photos—
He casually snapped a photo of Chen Ke and sent it to her.
……
On the bus.
When Qiao Mucheng saw the WeChat message, his eyes lit up instantly.
