Chapter 2013: Fortune’s Favor Awaits Those who Survived the Catastrophe (4)

Little Bean didn’t know that there was a difficult choice to be made between her mother and herself.

Maybe only one of them could continue to live, and the other one would get blown to pieces.

After Little Bean left, Qin Chu walked over and knelt down beside Huo Mian.

“Honey, the bomb’s not off yet. Where’s Gao Ran taking Little Bean?” Huo Mian was confused.

Qin Chu didn’t talk as he lifted Huo Mian’s face and kissed her on the lips.

“Mmm, Honey, what are you doing? In front of so many people?” Huo Mian was confused, she didn’t know where he got the mood to kiss her, especially in front of the bomb squad. It was too embarrassing.

“Sweetie, don’t be scared. You’re going to be fine…”

Qin Chu wanted to comfort Huo Mian, but as soon as he said that, tears began to fall.

Huo Mian immediately understood what that meant.

“You can’t get the bomb off, can you?” she calmly asked.

Qin Chu remained silent and just cried…

She held up Qin Chu’s face and said in a serious tone, “Don’t cry, look at me and tell me, you can’t get the bomb off, right?”

“No.”

“What’s going on? Don’t hide it from me. Just tell me, please…” Huo Mian anxiously stared at Qin Chu’s face.

Finally, Qin Chu took in a deep breath and looked at Huo Mian.

“Your bomb and Little Bean’s bomb are linked. If one is cut, the other one will immediately explode, and vice versa. If both are cut at the same time, they’ll go off together,” Qin Chu gathered the courage and said in one breath.

“So… only one of us can live, right?” Huo Mian reacted quickly and realized the seriousness of the situation.

“Right.” Qin Chu hopelessly nodded.

“Let me think.” Huo Mian lowered her head and thought for ten seconds.

She then raised her head, held Qin Chu’s face, and said, “Honey, look at me and listen.”

“Okay.”

“I need you to save Little Bean.”

“No, Mian, I can’t do that. You know I can’t live without you.” Qin Chu felt his heart ache and shook his head profusely.

“Honey, I know. I know that you don’t have the heart to let me go, but I can’t selfishly let my child die so that I can live. A mother’s love is unconditional, and I love her so much. There are two things in life that I am most proud of. One, having you as a husband who loves me wholeheartedly. Two, having two smart and beautiful daughters… That’s enough for me… I’m almost thirty, I’ve tasted all the flavors of life… Little Bean is so young; she’s only been alive for three years. I don’t want her life to end here, I want to see her grow up with Pudding, I want to see her get married and have children of her own… Chu, please. Promise me that we will let our daughter live. Take care of them, okay?” Huo Mian said as her tears fell.

She didn’t want to die either, she didn’t want to leave her husband and daughters. She didn’t want to leave this beautiful world.

If she could only choose one between herself and Little Bean, she would always choose Little Bean.

No mother would trade their daughter’s life for their own. If she did end up surviving this, she would never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

“No, I really can’t. Mian, I can’t do it. Don’t be so cruel to me…” Qin Chu shook his head furiously.
