  He Xuanyao had been determined to marry Huo Jinyao, so she had visited the Huo Mansion often in the past. She was beautiful and kindd. Even Mrs. Huo, usually a cold person, had been very kind to her. 

  The He Family and the Huo Family had had business dealings, so she had always felt that she was the best match for Huo Jinyao. 

  She had been upset for a long time because she hadn’t seen Huo Jinyao when she had gone back to Rong City. That was why she had agreed to come to Lin City with Qiu Junjiao. 

  She hadn’t expected to meet Huo Jinyao in Lin City. She didn’t recognize him at first, because she had not seen Huo Jinyao for two years. Now, she was sure; she’d seen his face clearly. 

  “Brother Jinyao. Fancy meeting you here.” 

  He Xuanyao switched off her indifferent attitude that she had had while watching the fun. There was girlish shyness on her face. 

  Huo Jinyao glanced at her like she was vaguely familiar. Almost instantly he remembered who she was, but he still acted as if she were stranger to him. 

  “Who are you?” 

  “Brother Jinyao, I’m Xuanyao, He Xuanyao. Don’t you remember me? I’m the youngest daughter of the He Family. You worked with my brother before.” 

  He Xuanyao blushed as she looked at Huo Jinyao, with a pair of eyes full of tenderness. 

  If it were another man, he would have probably been moved. Huo Jinyao was no ordinary man. 

  “He Xuanyao.” He knew her. She was He Xuankai’s younger sister and the only daughter of the He Family. 

  “Yes. You don’t remember me? Aunt Huo said it was fate that we both had the characters that were pronounced as “yao” in our names.” 

  Although the characters were different, the pronunciation was the same. She had always regarded this as a fateful coincidence. 

  Huo Jinyao’s mouth twitched. Commonly used Chinese characters were rare and there were more than one billion people in China. How many people could share the same name? 

  “I don’t remember.” 

  Huo Jinyao did not want to pay any attention to He Xuanyao after saying these words. 

  The sudden change confounded Qiu Junjiao totally. What was going on? Of course, she knew He Xuanyao, whose family was as good as hers. She was acting friendly towards Huo Jinyao. Looking at Huo Jinyao, she was pondering why she hadn’t heard that Su Qingsang’s newly married husband had been extraordinary? Hadn’t they told her that he was just a clerk?” 

  “How could you not remember?” 

  He Xuanyao did not give up. It was not easy seeing Huo Jinyao here; she would at least make sure he remembered her. Seeing that Huo Jinyao wanted to leave, she unconsciously wanted to take his hand. She suddenly thought of the dialogue between Qiu Junjiao and him. 

  “Brother Jinyao, you just said you were married?” 

  How could that be? The upper class of Rong City hadn’t got any news of a big event. 

  He Xuanyao recalled Su Qingsang’s appearance. She was not particularly pretty, just slightly prettier than the ordinary. 

  Why? Why did Brother Jinyao marry such a woman? 

  “Yes. I am married.” Huo Jinyao could see that He Xuanyao fancied him, of course. So what? 

  “Why so suddenly?” The girlish shyness disappeared on He Xuanyao’s face. Now, her pale little face was covered with sadness. 

  “Was that your wife? Do Uncle and Aunt Huo know? Do they know who she is?” 

  “Has it anything to do with you?” Coldness flashed over Huo Jinyao’s face. “Whomever I married, and whether my parents know it or not, has it anything to do with you?”

  Huo Jinyao’s standoffish attitude made He Xuanyao turn pale again. “Brother Jinyao, you……” 

  Then, Su Qingsang finished changing and stepped out of the fitting room. 

  She stood there, slim and graceful. The black colored one she had tried on a moment ago had suited her. It had made her appear sexier and less gentle and demurring. 

  The white colored one she was wearing at the moment also suited her. Su Qingsang’s figure was pretty great. Although she wasn’t that tall, her figure was well proportioned. 

  Su Qingsang had heard some of the exchange from the fitting room, but she hadn’t heard anything clearly. 

  She saw Huo Jinyao walking towards her and He Xuanyao’s exasperated expression. She couldn’t figure out what was going on. 

  “Very pretty.” 

  Huo Jinyao didn’t give her the chance to talk with the other two women. He went up to her and held her waist to have her look at herself in the mirror. 

  “We’ll get all three. How’s that?” 

  “There’s no need to, right?” 

  The prices of these clothes had more than five digits in them. She was a doctor who had just started working. Why did she need such nice clothes? 

  “Buy them if you like them.” 

  “You……” 

  Su Qingsang stared at Huo Jinyao, then looked at the people around her. 

  She didn’t want to offend him too much, so she tiptoed and whispered into Huo Jinyao’s ear. “Didn’t you just started working? Just buy a random one.” 

  Her voice was very light and her warm breath lingered in Huo Jinyao’s ear. He was a little moved. He couldn’t understand Su Qingsang’s words for a second, but when he realized what she meant, he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. 

  He held her waist and followed her example. He whispered in her ear, “I did a good job on the business trip a few days ago. The boss agreed to reward me. Mhm, we’ll buy whatever. It’s not a problem.” 

  Su Qingsang turned her face to look at him. His pleased expression was so obvious. She felt like she was dealing with a golden retriever again. 

  “Take precautions before it’s too late. You should work hard and save money. Don’t you know that?” 

  He spent all his monetary reward buying a ring and buying clothes. What would they do if they needed to use the money in the future? 

  “I know. But I have you.” Huo Jinyao bit her ear and continued. “The money that I earn is for my wife to spend. I’m happy if you spend it all.” 

  As his warm breath passed by her ear, she remembered that he had also bitten her ear while talking to her when they did it last night. 

  She was uncomfortable for a second and stepped back. 

  “I, I’ll go change out of this.” 

  Huo Jinyao had a teasing expression on his face. Su Qingsang was easily embarrassed. 

  Mm, it’s alright. I’ll do it more next time and she’ll get used to it, he thought to himself. 

  He Xuanyao watched Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang being so intimate. It made her eyes red. 

  “Brother Jinyao……” 

  Su Qingsang heard it as she was going in between the fitting rooms and turned around. She had heard it before, but it was through a door. She thought that she had heard wrong. 

  Huo Jinyao’s expression darkened and he turned around to look at He Xuanyao. 

  “Who are you talking about?” 

  “Brother Jinyao, how could you do this to me?” She had liked him for so many years and had waited for him. How could he do this to her? 

  “Jinyao?” Su Qingsang didn’t go change out of her clothes this time and stood in front of Huo Jinyao. “You guys know each other?” 

  How could Qiu Junjiao’s friend know Huo Jinyao? 

  “No, we don’t.” Huo Jinyao’s expression was indifferent. He stared at He Xuanyao. “I don’t know you. Please call me Mr. Huo.” 

  “Brother Jinyao?” He Xuanyao’s expression was hurt. “What are you saying?” 

  “Jinyao?” It didn’t seem like she didn’t know him. Su Qingsang stared at Huo Jinyao, then stared at He Xuanyao. 

  Was there something that she didn’t know about?
