My Youth Began With Him

“He’s not brave enough to look for trouble… but he might harm that girl.”

“But Huo Mian’s at the military hospital…”

“The military hospital isn’t as safe as you think it is, he might find loopholes. Anyways, tell Yu to be careful… I’m heading out of town tomorrow, I’m going to bed now.”

“Okay, Dad, good night.”

Su Yu felt bad after overhearing the conversation between his mother and grandfather.

After Grandpa Su went back to his room, Mrs. Su walked out to see her son standing in the corner of the second-floor hallway.

“Yu… why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“I wasn’t tired.”

“Did you… hear my conversation with your grandpa?”

“I did.” Su Yu nodded.

“Your grandpa is in a pickle as well… After all, Mayor Song’s still the mayor, and this case is really complicated.”

“I don’t care who it is, but those that try to harm Huo Mian might as well be harming me. Who cares if he’s the mayor or governor…”

“Son, don’t be rash…”

“I won’t, Mom, I know my limits. Don’t worry about me.”

Then, Su Yu turned around, grabbed his jacket, and headed downstairs.

“It’s late, where are you going?”

“There’s something I need to do first, you should go to bed.”

Su Yu called Tang Chuan as soon as he left his family home.

“What’s up, Yu? It’s late…”

“Didn’t you mention that you know the owner of a private security company?”

“Yeah…”

“Tell them to send me eight of their best men.”

“Huh? Eight? Is some superstar visiting your company?” Tang Chuan sat up from his bed in a daze.

“No…”

“Who’s it for then?”

“What’s with all the questions? Just do what I asked…”

“Ahem… eight of their best men… it’s not going to be cheap.”

“I have money…” Su Yu said, rubbing his wealth in Tang Chuan’s face.

“Haha, I know you have money, but you can’t spend it like that. It’s not like you have a money-growing tree. Some of their best men are foreigners who used to be in special forces. They’re going to be really expensive.”

“I don’t care how expensive they are, just make sure they’re good.”

“Fine… I’ll call the owner tomorrow morning.”

“No, call now,” Su Yu demanded.

“F*ck, are you crazy? It’s half past midnight right now, Young Master Su… crap, can’t you just let me sleep?”

“No, I can’t, just call the owner right now.”

“Fine, you win.”

In the end, Tang Chuan had no choice but to call the owner of the private security company and hire eight bodyguards. He was told that they would be there tomorrow.

However, Su Yu was still worried and ended up driving to the military hospital. When he arrived, he began pacing back and forth in the hallway outside Huo Mian’s room…

At 6 AM, he quietly opened the door and went in, so he could make Huo Mian some porridge.

“Why are you here?” Huo Mian woke up to see Su Yu busying about in the kitchen.

“Oh… I have insomnia and was bored, so I thought I’d make you some food.”

“You don’t have to do that, I’m fine here, this hospital has everything I need. I feel bad when you do stuff like this for me…”

Huo Mian’s pregnancy made her look a little tired, but her face without any makeup looked more beautiful than ever… She got off the bed, put on her slippers, and walked towards Su Yu – her hair was all over the place and she didn’t even get to wash up.

Huo Mian was touched to see the porridge in Su Yu’s hands…

“We’re friends… Uh, if Tang Chuan and Wei Liao needed my care, I wouldn’t hesitate to do this for them too, so don’t feel pressured…”

“Thanks,” Huo Mian said faintly. After breakfast, she went to get her daily checkup. By the time she went back into her room, she saw four tall bodyguards standing outside her door.

“Um…”

“They’re here to protect you,” Su Yu immediately explained.
