Chapter 596: That Man Made Him Jealous
Su Qingsang wasn’t in the hospital. He couldn’t contact Su Qingsang, and he didn’t know whether she was alive or dead.
Every piece of news stimulated Huo Jinyao’s nerves, especially when he found out that Su Qingsang went out to buy clothes. He really had the urge to slap himself.
When Su Qingsang was packing her luggage, he should have told her to bring more clothes instead of telling her to buy them when she came to C City.
And now, she was the only one in trouble.
C City was so big, and there were so many department stores. Huo Jinyao had no idea which department store he was going to look for Su Qingsang in.
At that moment, he thought of Zhang Yichen.
He knew that Zhang Yichen’s unit was here. It would be much easier for him to look for someone than for him to look for someone himself.
But when he contacted Zhang Yichen’s unit, he found out that Zhang Yichen wasn’t in the unit. Not only was he not in the unit, he seemed to have also encountered an earthquake.
Huo Jinyao had a bad premonition. That premonition came mostly from the inexplicable feeling that Zhang Yichen and Su Qingsang had encountered an earthquake at the same time.
Su Qingsang had been out of contact for two days and two nights.
From the moment Huo Jinyao received the news to the two days when Su Qingsang was out of contact, Huo Jinyao felt as if his heart was being scratched by someone.
He couldn’t calm down at all. He couldn’t calm down at the thought that something might happen to Su Qingsang.
He had no choice but to look for his great-aunt, Huo Yangxiu. Huo Yangxiu was also anxious because Zhang Yichen was among the people who were in trouble.
Who was Zhang Yichen? He was the youngest son of the military commander and was already a senior colonel’s man.
The last news Huo Yangxiu received was that Zhang Yichen was trapped in Chunhui department store.
There were three Chunhui department stores in C City. Which department store Zhang Yichen was last in was unknown.
The phone signal was out. Only when the communication was restored did they start to locate Zhang Yichen’s location.
Huo Jinyao’s heart skipped a beat when he found out that Zhang Yichen was in the department store. He trusted Zhang Yichen and Su Qingsang.
He believed that the two of them wouldn’t have any interaction. It wasn’t until he got the exact news that Zhang Yichen was buried in a department store.
He rushed there immediately. He didn’t know why he rushed there. He believed that Zhang Yichen couldn’t be with Su Qingsang.
But when he really found Zhang Yichen, Huo Jinyao could only rejoice.
He was glad that Zhang Yichen was with Su Qingsang at that time.
He would never forget what he saw at that time, that scene, and……
“Jinyao?”
Not understanding why he was in a daze again, Su Qingsang glanced at Huo Jinyao.
Huo Jinyao recollected his thoughts and met Su Qingsang’s clear eyes. The corners of his mouth twitched.
“What’s wrong?”
“I –” Su Qingsang had woken up now, so she naturally remembered something. “I remember I was with uncle at that time. How is he?”
Su Qingsang was very grateful to Zhang Yichen. If he hadn’t arrived in time and used the door to shield her, she might have been smashed to death.
One should be grateful. It was a fact that Zhang Yichen saved her.
“He’s fine.”
Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang’s face and asked the question that had been bothering him.
“Why were you with Uncle?”
Su Qingsang had just woken up and suffered a blow to the back of her head. At the time, she thought she was fine, but in reality, she wasn’t.
She wasn’t very alert at the moment, so she didn’t catch the hint of jealousy in Huo Jinyao’s words.
“I was going to buy some clothes. Uncle just happened to come to the hospital to visit a pregnant woman. He said he was familiar with C City, so he gave me a ride.”
Huo Jinyao didn’t say anything. He just held Su Qingsang’s hand. “Uncle came to the hospital to visit a pregnant woman?”
Su Qingsang nodded. She thought of Chen Yi and suddenly sat up again. “How are Director Sun and the others? Are they alright? And Chen Yi, and –”
“That’s enough. Don’t worry about the others for now.”
Huo Jinyao held her hand and pressed her back down. “You’re very weak now. What you need to do is to rest well. Are they all alright?”
“All of them? Dr. Sun, Ling Fei, Dr. Chen, and Dr. Li are all fine?”
“They’re all fine.”Huo Jinyao nodded. “When the earthquake happened, Dr. Sun and the others were at the clinic on the first floor. They ran outside as soon as the earthquake happened, so they’re all fine.”
“That’s good.” Su Qingsang breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Dr. Sun and the others were all fine. “Where are they now?”
“There were a lot of casualties. They’re all going to help out now.”
Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang and suddenly held her gently in his arms. “Qingsang, no matter where we have this kind of learning exchange in the future, don’t go, okay?”
Su Qingsang could understand what he meant even though he didn’t say anything else.
She had only gone out twice in total, but encountered a mudslide and an earthquake. Her luck couldn’t be any worse.
“How could there be a next time?” Su Qingsang had the same thought, but she really didn’t think that her luck would continue to be so “good”. “It’s just a coincidence, it’s a small probability.”
“I don’t care. You’re not allowed to go again.”
“Okay. Next time, I’m not going anywhere except for further studies. Is that okay?”
“Further studies won’t work either.” Huo Jinyao couldn’t describe how he felt when he found out that Su Qingsang was in the middle of an earthquake.
He didn’t want to experience that feeling ever again in his life.
Su Qingsang looked at him with a helpless smile on her face.
She was still a little out of it, so Huo Jinyao got up and brought a bowl of congee from the side.
“This is all we have now. It’s simple congee boiled with water. Make do with it.”
There were still aftershocks from time to time, and there were still many disaster victims who hadn’t been properly settled.
Huo Jinyao had brought these over. This congee could be drunk with boiling water, but the taste couldn’t be compared to the congee at home.
“How could I care about that now? It’s already good enough to be able to eat.”
She was indeed hungry. She looked at Huo Jinyao as he brought the porridge over. “By the way, how many days has it been since the earthquake?”
“Today is the third day.”
The fourth day? Su Qingsang blinked. “Then, how many days have I been trapped in there? How come I don’t remember?”
“Two days.” Huo Jinyao felt really scared when he said that.
“You were trapped for two days. After we rescued you and confirmed that your life wasn’t in danger, we placed you here. After you were rescued, you slept for an entire day.”
Su Qingsang nodded. She wanted to ask more questions, but Huo Jinyao had already started feeding her porridge.
She had no choice but to eat it first. The porridge didn’t taste very good, but at this time, under such conditions, Su Qingsang couldn’t be picky.
After finishing the bowl of porridge, Huo Jinyao put the bowl aside.
“Is there anything else you want to eat? I’ll get Yang Wenchang to do his best to send it over.”
The first batch of supplies were all instant noodles, bread, biscuits, and the sort. It would take some time before they could eat warm rice.
“It’s okay. I understand.”
Su Qingsang waved her hand and listened for a while. From time to time, she could hear sirens and the sound of people coming and going outside.
“Where are we now?”
“The empty space outside the hospital. They’re all temporary tents.”
“How’s the hospital? Can’t it be used?”
“Of course not. The aftershocks are still happening. It’s too dangerous to stay inside.”
Su Qingsang pursed her lips. “Are the casualties very serious?”
“Yes. “Huo Jinyao nodded. The statistical data had already counted hundreds of people. There are still missing people as well.
Su Qingsang was in a bad mood, and Huo Jinyao didn’t know what to say.
In the face of such a disaster, manpower was too trifling.
“Huo Jinyao, I feel terrible.”
For those who left the world, those who went missing, and those who were injured.
“I know.” Huo Jinyao wasn’t in a good mood either.
He was born into a wealthy family. The kidnapping when he was young had tormented him.
It was also the first time he had seen such a miserable scene.
“I’ve already sent another batch of supplies over. However, we can’t help with the rescue for the time being. They’re more professional than us. Don’t think too much about it. Rest well. You’re still very weak.”
Su Qingsang looked at him and nodded heavily.
It was windy and rainy outside, but the inside of the small tent was a small world of its own.
Su Qingsang leaned her face against Huo Jinyao’s chest. Her eyes were a little moist. She survived. She thought she was going to die, but she survived.
But there were some people who weren’ot as lucky as her.
“Huo Jinyao.”
“Yes?”
“I sent you a message. Did you see it?”
“No. But I found your phone. It’s over there, but its battery is dead. What did you send?”
“Huo Jinyao. Let’s go back and have a child.”
Huo Jinyao froze for a moment. He looked down at Su Qingsang, and she happened to look up at him.
Her eyes were slightly watery. There was a lot to say.
“Didn’t you say we’ll talk about it later?”
“But I don’t want it to be any later.” Su Qingsang bit her lip. “I almost died this time. When I was dying, I was thinking that I haven’t given birth to a child for you yet.”
She wrapped her hands around his waist and rubbed her small face against his chest. “At that time, I felt really regretful and remorseful. If I had a child, then if I wasn’t around, then……”
Before she could finish her sentence, Huo Jinyao covered her lips.
“There won’t be such a day.”
Looking into Su Qingsang’s eyes, he leaned over and kissed her on the eyelids.
“Qingsang, there won’t be a day like that. I won’t let you leave me.”
“But……”
“There are no buts,” Huo Jinyao said firmly. “You’re you, and the child is the child. No one can replace you. Even the child you gave birth to for me is the same. I don’t need anyone else. I only need you.”
Su Qingsang’s eyes reddened again. She blinked and resisted the urge to cry.
After being married to Huo Jinyao for a year, these were the most touching romantic words she had ever heard him say.
“But, I want a child. One that belongs to me and you.”
“We’ll have a child.” Huo Jinyao pressed his forehead against hers. “Don’t think too much about it. After your body recovers and we return to Rong City, we’ll have as many children as you want, okay?”
He didn’t object, and Su Qingsang felt like crying again.
She nodded and said in a trembling voice, “Let’s have two children, okay? One boy and one girl.”
“Okay.”
“It’s best if we have a boy first and then a girl. That way, the older brother can protect the younger sister.”
“Okay. I’ll listen to you.”
Huo Jinyao wrapped his arms around her waist. Su Qingsang looked at him and said in a softer voice, “Having twins would be good too.”
“Yeah. Once and for all, right?”
“Yeah.” Su Qingsang smiled with tears in her eyes. “When the time comes, we’ll carry each other and go out together. We’ll bring them to see the fallen leaves in autumn and cherry blossoms in spring.”
“Okay.”
Huo Jinyao didn’t object. He said yes to everything. Su Qingsang glanced at him. She knew in her heart that Huo Jinyao would definitely become a good father.
The two of them chatted for a while. As if she wanted to sleep again, Su Qingsang yawned.
Huo Jinyao knew that she was still very weak, so he let go of her and helped her lie down carefully.
“You should rest first. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk when you wake up.”
Su Qingsang nodded and laid down again. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly thought of something.
“By the way, is Uncle really okay?”
Huo Jinyao didn’t answer her question. He shook his head and said, “He’s fine. Seems like you really care about him.”
This time, Su Qingsang could discern the jealousy in his words. She couldn’t help but laugh and reached out to hold his hand.
“He saved my life. If it wasn’t for him, I would have died a long time ago.”
“You?” Huo Jinyao wanted to ask her if she remembered. However, Su Qingsang was indeed sleepy again.
She had a head injury and was still receiving an IV drip. All of this made eeasily her sleepy.
“Uncle is really a nice person.” Her eyes had already begun to close, and her voice became softer. “He came to me when the earthquake happened. He saved me. Jinyao, I want to thank him.”
She didn’t say anything else after that. She was already asleep.
Huo Jinyao stared at her face. He wan’t sure how much she could remember. Su Qingsang was completely asleep.
He tucked her in and went to a tent not that far away.
Huo Yangxiu was guarding Zhang Yichen when he entered the tent. She stood up when she saw Huo Jinyao.
“Jinyao, is Qingsang Okay?”
“She’s awake. She’s fine now.” Su Qingsang suffered a mild concussion after being hit in the head by a rock.
Coupled with the fact that she was buried in the ruins, it caused a certain degree of lack of oxygen. She was indeed in a dangerous state before.
But the Doctor said that as long as she woke up, she would be fine.
Now that she was awake, she believed that she should be fine.
“It’s good that she’s fine. It’s good that she’s fine.”
Huo Yangxiu felt relieved. When she turned to look at Zhang Yichen who was lying on the bed, her relief turned into worry.
“I wonder when Yichen will wake up.”
“Uncle will be fine.”
Huo Jinyao glanced at Zhang Yichen. His face was pale as he laid there motionlessly.
Huo Yangxiu wasn’t there when Zhang Yichen was rescued, so she was able to face him calmly now.
If Huo Yangxiu had seen the situation back then, Huo Jinyao couldn’t guarantee that Huo Yangxiu would still be able to be as calm as she was now and talk to him calmly.
Zhang Yichen could have been fine, but why was he still not waking up even now? First of all, he had injured his internal organs, and second of all, he had lost too much blood.
Huo Jinyao couldn’t forget what he saw when the ruins were dug open and he saw Zhang Yichen and Su Qingsang.
After Su Qingsang passed out, she had a fever and was short of water. Zhang Yichen had no choice but to cut his own wrist and let Su Qingsang drink his blood.
Su Qingsang was unconscious. She didn’t know about this.
Later, there was an aftershock. In order to prevent her from being hit, Zhang Yichen had been protecting her from the aftershock. However, he didn’t expect that the wall would collapse because of the aftershock.
Although there was a door to block it, that small door could no longer block two people.
In order to prevent Su Qingsang from being hit, Zhang Yichen used the door to block most of the pressure.
He was hit in the back, and because he fed Su Qingsang blood to keep her alive, by the time he was rescued, he was already unconscious due to excessive blood loss and the injury on his back.
Even so, he still used his back to support the door tightly. His uninjured hand was still supporting the chair behind Su Qingsang.
He formed a space in front of him and used it to protect Su Qingsang.
Huo Jinyao couldn’t describe how shocked he was at that time.
He knew that Zhang Yichen liked Su Qingsang, but he didn’t expect Zhang Yichen to be able to do so much for Su Qingsang.
He couldn’t even get jealous at such a scene.
He could only rejoice and feel grateful. If it weren’t for Zhang Yichen, Su Qingsang would have died.
Huo Jinyao blamed himself. He blamed himself for not being by Su Qingsang’s side, for not protecting her well, and for not being by her side at the first moment. Instead, it was another man who was with her.
He was indeed a little jealous, a little envious. But he was more grateful and relieved. If it weren’t for Zhang Yichen, he would have lost Su Qingsang by now.
He couldn’t imagine what that scene would be like.
“Great-aunt, I’ll take care of Uncle for a while. You go and rest first.”
“No need.” Huo Yangxiu waved her hand. “He won’t wake up so soon anyway. Besides, Qingsang needs you.”
“She’s sleeping now.”
Zhang Yichen was rescued. The rescuers only told Huo Yangxiu that Zhang Yichen was buried there while trying to save people. They didn’t say who he was there to save.
To Huo Yangxiu, it was perfectly normal for her son to do such a thing.
He was a soldier. He had the responsibility and obligation to walk in front of others. She just hoped that her son would wake up soon.
“There’s really no need. I’ve already called Yichen’s father. When the next batch of supplies arrives, we’ll move him away from here. Oh right, you should go to Qingsang. There are still aftershocks here. It’s not safe.”
“Okay.” Huo Jinyao didn’t object. He looked at Zhang Yichen, who laid unconscious on the bed.
He only hoped that he would wake up soon.
Zhang Yichen didn’t wake up until the helicopter that brought the supplies arrived the next day.
Huo Yangxiu was really worried about him. So for the time being, they moved Zhang Yichen to City N, which was closest to City C.
City N was also affected by the earthquake, but it wasn’t as seriously affected as City C. They only sensed it.
Su Qingsang was also transferred with them. Her body had already recovered more than half after a night of rest.
She wanted to help, but how could Huo Jinyao agree?
She was injured and hadn’t recovered yet. She still needed someone to take care of her, so how could she save others?
No matter what Su Qingsang said, Huo Jinyao didn’t agree to let her stay. Not only that, but he also brought her to the helicopter and followed her to N City.
When they arrived in N City, he first arranged for Su Qingsang to undergo a full-body examination, especially a brain examination. After confirming that Su Qingsang was fine, he let her be observed for a day.
Even though she felt that there was nothing wrong with her body, Su Qingsang was helpless. However, Huo Jinyao was too nervous about her, so she had to be hospitalized.
City N was very close to City C, but it wasn’t the closest city, so there weren’t many injured patients there.
There were more people in the hospital than usual, but because of Huo Yangxiu, they were now in the military hospital, so there couldn’t be as many people as there were in other hospitals.
Su Qingsang was much better today. However, Huo Jinyao insisted that she lie in bed to rest.
She felt that she had slept too much, but Huo Jinyao didn’t feel that way. He felt that only by lying on the bed could she be considered to be resting. This made Su Qingsang feel very helpless.
After lunch, Su Qingsang was supposed to take an afternoon nap. However, she couldn’t fall asleep even after closing her eyes.
Just as she was about to ask Huo Jinyao if he wanted to rest for a while, she heard him go outside.
Zhang Yichen woke up. Huo Jinyao heard the news when he was delivering food to Su Qingsang.
His ward was right next to Su Qingsang’s ward, and Huo Yangxiu had arranged it.
When Huo Jinyao went over, Zhang Yichen had just eaten a bowl of porridge. His hand was still wrapped in gauze.
His complexion was a little pale, but it was much better than yesterday.
Huo Yangxiu saw him coming and greeted him.
“Uncle.”
Huo Jinyao looked at Zhang Yichen with a complicated expression.
Zhang Yichen’s lips moved when he saw him, but he didn’t say what he wanted to ask when he saw Huo Yangxiu beside him.
“Mom, I want to eat some grapes. Go and buy some.”
“Okay.” Huo Yangxiu rushed over because of Zhang Yichen’s accident this time.
Her eldest son and daughter had a mission and couldn’t come over immediately. As for Zhang Xinghua, she would only have time to come over at night.
Therefore, he was the only one here to take care of Zhang Yichen. Upon hearing that her son wanted to eat grapes, she immediately picked up her bag and walked out.
“Then, Jinyao, you –”
“Go ahead, Creat-aunt. I’ll stay here to accompany Uncle.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Su Qingsang was in the next ward. She was already fine, and Huo Yangxiu knew that, so she wasn’t too worried.
She thanked Huo Jinyao and left.
After she left, the ward fell silent. Zhang Yichen looked at Huo Jinyao and wanted to ask how Su Qingsang was.
“I know what you want to ask. She’s fine now.”
Zhang Yichen’s fists, which were slightly clenched, relaxed slightly.
Huo Jinyao saw it and couldn’t describe how he felt.
“You should have known when you saved her that she would be fine.”
Seeing that Zhang Yichen didn’t say anything, Huo Jinyao added, “Thank you, Uncle.”
His expression calm, Zhang Yichen glanced at him. However, only he knew how much undercurrent was hidden under that calmness.
“You’re welcome.”
“I know. It’s a little too insincere to say thank you now.” Huo Jinyao’s voice was a little sulleen. He looked at the gauze on Zhang Yichen’s arm. The white gauze made his tan skin look somewhat glaring.
“But I still have to thank you, because I’m her husband, and you saved my wife. I thank you.”
“I said that you don’t have to thank me. I didn’t do it for you.”

“I didn’t do it for you.”
After Zhang Yichen finished his sentence, he was afraid that Huo Jinyao would misunderstand, so he added, “I’m a soldier for the people. Have you forgotten? No matter who it was, I would have saved her under those circumstances.”
His voice was a little hoarse. After sleeping for a few days, he was no longer as energetic as before. However, when he said this, his voice was still firm and convincing.
As if he was trying to see through him, Huo Jinyao stared at his face. No matter how hard he stared at Zhang Yichen, his expression didn’t change.
“Yes. Indeed, no matter who it was, you would have saved them. But you wouldn’t cut your own flesh and feed your blood to just anyone, right?”
Huo Jinyao’s words made Zhang Yichen glance at him. His brows furrowed, as if he was about to speak.
Huo Jinyao smiled helplessly. “You don’t have to deny it in front of me. I won’t misunderstand anything. I won’t doubt my wife just because of this. I just want to thank you, the kind that comes from the bottom of my heart.”
“Thank you, Uncle. If it weren’t for you, Qingsang would have…… No matter what, you saved her. I don’t care if your motive was your duty as a soldier or your feelings for Qingsang. I’ll thank you regardless.”
Huo Jinyao restrained his expression and looked at him seriously. He said word by word, “Uncle, I owe you my life.”
Zhang Yichen fell silent. He suddenly turned his face away and looked at the sky outside the window.
The weather was gloomy, as if it was going to rain.
“You don’t owe me, and she doesn’t owe me either. I did it of my own free will. It’s what I should have done.”
He couldn’t think too much during the situation at that time. The only thought in his mind was that he couldn’t let Su Qingsang die.
What he said was also true. Even if that person wasn’t Su Qingsang, he wouldn’t have just stand by and watch.
“You said I don’t owe me anything, but I can’t treat it as if I don’t owe you anything.”
Huo Jinyao’s expression was extremely serious. He nodded heavily at Zhang Yichen.
“Thank you, Uncle.”
His eyes as deep as a sea of stars and filled with gratitude, he gazed at Zhang Yichen.
His brows tightly knitted together, Zhang Yichen retracted his gaze and looked at Huo Jinyao.
“Do you think that I’m the kind of person who would blackmail people indebted to me?!”
Huo Jinyao shook his head. “I didn’t mean that. But I will never let go of Su Qingsang, no matter what the reason is. No matter who she meets again, she would still be my wife.”
Zhang Yichen’s expression didn’t change. “I told you, I’m a soldier. I was just doing what a soldier should have done.” ……
When Huo Jinyao returned to the ward, Su Qingsang was still asleep. He sat beside Su Qingsang and stared at her sleeping face.
He held her hand and pressed it against his cheek.
Su Qingsang woke up because of his movements. She blinked and met Huo Jinyao’s gaze.
Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao for a while and realized that he had been holding her hand the entire time.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Was there something on her face?
Huo Jinyao kissed the back of her hand and shook his head gently.
“No. I just wanted to look at you. I was afraid that you would disappear.”
She really scared him this time. Huo Jinyao held her hand tightly. He still couldn’t forget the fear of losing her.
“Silly.” Feeling a little helpless, Su Qingsang reached out to pinch his hand. “How did our Young Master Huo become so silly?”
“I am pretty silly.” Huo Jinyao held her hand. “Your body is fine now. After you rest well tomorrow, we’ll go back to Rong City, okay?”
“Okay.”Su Qingsang didn’t object. “No, Director Sun and the others –”
“They’re staying behind as volunteers now. I believe they won’t be returning to Rong City for the time being.”
“I want to volunteer as well.”
At a time like this, the disaster area needed a large number of doctors. As a doctor, she really wanted to do her part.
“You’re not allowed.” Huo Jinyao held her hand tightly. “You’re not allowed to be a volunteer. Call me selfish or careful, but you haven’t fully recovered yet. I’m worried about you being a volunteer.”
“But –”
“No buts,” Huo Jinyao insisted. “Qingsang, I understand your feelings and your determination to do good, but this isn’t like the mudslide that happened last time. This is an earthquake. An aftershock could happen at any time. I can’t bear the slightest possibility of losing you.”
Even if it was just a little, it wouldn’t do.
Su Qingsang felt his hot hand, and she understood his concerns. “But, Director Sun and the others are all helping out now, yet I have to return to Rong City alone. It really isn’t good. More importantly, I really want to contribute to the disaster area. Jinyao, just let me, okay? I promise that I’ll ensure my own safety and I’ll be very careful. I will not let myself be in danger. Can I?”
“No.”
“Jinyao?”
“Unless you promise me something.”
“What?”
“I’ll go too.”
“Huo Jinyao.” Has he gone mad? Su Qingsang didn’t know what to say. “You’re the President of Tianyu Group, how can you –”
“If you can, I can too.” Huo Jinyao said very seriously, “And you’re the wife of the President of Tianyu Group.”
Su Qingsang couldn’t help but laugh. She leaned over and kissed Huo Jinyao on the cheek.
“Jinyao, you’re so nice.”
Huo Jinyao took a deep look at her and thought of Zhang Yichen, who was next door.
“Actually, I was afraid that you wouldn’t think I’m good enough.”
“Why would I? In my heart, you’re the best.”
“Qingsang.”
“Yes?”
“If, I mean if, there’s a man who treats you better than I do. He could even, could…… would you……”
Huo Jinyao suddenly stopped talking. He denied what he had just said.
He was jealous, insanely jealous.
He was jealous of Zhang Yichen, jealous that the person who was by Su Qingsang’s side at that time wasn’t him.
“What are you trying to say?”
Su Qingsang looked at him in confusion. Huo Jinyao hugged her and pressed his chin against her neck.
“I’m trying to say that if a man treats you better than I do, would you be with him?”
Su Qingsang blinked at him and finally raised her hand to place it on Huo Jinyao’s forehead.
“You don’t have a fever? Why are you talking nonsense?”
Huo Jinyao pulled her hand down and held it tightly. He looked at her and didn’t look like he was joking.
“I’m serious. If that man is very good, if that man loves you very much, if he could sacrifice his life for you, you……”
“Huo Jinyao. “Su Qingsang interrupted him. “We’re married. Have you forgotten?”
Huo Jinyao’s slightly dazed face made Su Qingsang burst into laughter. She held his hand. “We married a year ago. Speaking of which, two days ago was our wedding anniversary. Look, we’re already married.”
“I know, but……”
“There’s no buts. I won’t commit bigamy, and I won’t be with another man.”
Seeing that Huo Jinyao seemed to have something else to say, she raised her hand and placed it on his lips.
“No matter how good and outstanding that person is, no matter how good he is to me. Huo Jinyao, my husband is you.”
Huo Jinyao looked at her and suddenly smiled. He reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, leaned over, and gently planted a kiss on her lips.
“Yes. Your husband is me.”
Huo Jinyao’s voice was deep and there were hidden emotions in it.
Su Qingsang’s reaction was to hug him and press her face against his chest. ……
Su Qingsang rested for another day. After confirming that there were no major problems with her body, Huo Jinyao made arrangements for them to follow the next batch of supplies back to C City this afternoon.
They were only staying in N City temporarily. There was nothing to pack.
Huo Jinyao, on the other hand, had something to do. He had arranged for Yang Wenchang to send relief supplies over.
This time, Tianyu Group’s performance in this area was very eye-catching. The higher-ups all thought that Huo Jinyao was trying to create publicity for the Group, but only Huo Jinyao knew that he really wanted to do something for these people.
The supplies were ready and flew to C City with the helicopter in the afternoon.
Huo Jinyao and Yang Wenchang went to work on this matter, while Su Qingsang packed up and prepared to leave.
When she came out of the ward, she happened to see that the door of the next ward was open.
She froze for a moment, and her red lips pursed into a straight line. Finally, she turned around and went to the next ward.
Zhang Yichen’s back was injured. His body was fine, but he had suffered such a serious internal injury and lost so much blood. He had survived it.
However, his injury was a little more serious, and he didn’t look too good.
He reached out for the cup by the bedside. He placed it a little far away and leaned his body forward a little.
Before he could touch the cup, a hand picked it up first and placed it on his hand.
When he turned around and saw Su Qingsang, he was stunned.
He naturally knew that Su Qingsang was in the next ward, but he had never thought of taking a look at her.
Well, it wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about it, but he couldn’t think about it. So he simply pretended that he didn’t know and treated it as if the patient next door was another patient.
He didn’t expect that he would see Su Qingsang.
“You –” Zhang Yichen said one word and held the cup tightly. “Are you okay?”
Su Qingsang nodded and looked at Zhang Yichen. Her voice was very soft. “Uncle, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Zhang Yichen took a sip of the water. His voice and expression were very cold.
“Thank you, Uncle.” Su Qingsang’s voice was very sincere. “Thank you for saving my life.”
Zhang Yichen lowered his head and drank all the water in the cup. Then, he used the action of placing the cup to shift his gaze away.
“I said, no need to thank me. I’m a soldier. That’s what I should do.”
He said this twice in two days. But each time, his mood was different.
Su Qingsang still wanted to say something, but she felt that the words ‘thank you’ were indeed too light.
“Uncle, are you hurt very badly? How’s your body now? Is it better?”
“I’m fine. I’m feeling very well. My mother was too nervous.”
Zhang Yichen still didn’t look at Su Qingsang. Su Qingsang could tell from his expression that he actually wasn’t feeling well.
She was a doctor, so naturally she knew that Zhang Yichen wasn’t telling the truth.
“It’s good that you’re fine.” Su Qingsang thought about it for a while and said, “Uncle, let me know when you come to Rong City next time. Jinyao and I will treat you to a meal. Consider it a thank you for saving my life.”
“No need. Even if you weren’t the one who had an accident today, I would have done the same. Besides, you’re Jin Yao’s wife. I’m Jinyao’s uncle, so naturally I wouldn’t let anything happen to you.”
Su Qingsang was at a loss for words.
Huo Yangxiu arrived at this time. She froze when she saw Su Qingsang.
“Great-aunt.”
“Yes, you’re here to visit Yichen?”
“Yes, I’m here to — thank Uncle.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Zhang Yichen interrupted her, “Mom, didn’t my dad say he was coming over? Qhere is he?”
“He went to direct the disaster relief efforts.” Huo Yangxiu knew how her husband was. “After he found out that you were fine, he went over. He said that only when there’s a big family can there be a small family. It’s not like you don’t know how your dad is.”
“Great-aunt, Uncle, you guys talk. I’m leaving now.”
Su Qingsang could tell that Zhang Yichen didn’t want her to stay here. After saying goodbye to Huo Yangxiu and Su Qingsang, she turned around and left.
Huo Yangxiu wanted to let her stay for a while. After all, they were relatives, and she liked Huo Jinyao very much.
However, Zhang Yichen asked her to pour water at this time. After Huo Yangxiu finished pouring the water, Su Qingsang had already left.
“You rascal, no matter what, she’s still Jinyao’s wife. Why do you have such a cold attitude?”
Zhang Yichen took the water from her hand and didn’t answer Huo Yangxiu’s question.
However, the corner of his eyes kept falling on the door of the ward. With his sharp ears, he listened to the rhythmic footsteps that slowly walked away.
Until he could no longer hear them.
He put the cup back on the bedside table and didn’t respond to Huo Yangxiu’s next words. ……
Su Qingsang boarded the helicopter with Huo Jinyao.
After that, there were a few more aftershocks that could be clearly felt in C city. It was indeed a dangerous place.
However, Su Qingsang was very determined. When she returned to C City, she first went to see Sun Huiya and the others.
The doctors who came to C City this time were now individuals playing the roles of multiple people. There were no more departments.
When the injured came, they immediately started. The golden rescue time of seventy-two hours had passed, but the injured were still being sent over.
The hospital tent was full of people. The disaster this time was very serious. No one had expected it to be like this.
“Why are you back?”
When she saw Su Qingsang, Sun Huiya’s voice changed. “Nonsense, aren’t you injured? Go home.”
“Director Sun, I’m fine. Just let me help.”
Su Qingsang was determined. Although Sun Huiya was helpless, doctors were indeed needed at this time.
She waved her hand but didn’t say anything else. Su Qingsang quickly threw herself into work.
Huo Jinyao also volunteered.
What surprised Su Qingsang wasn’t the fact that Huo Jinyao volunteered, but how he did it.
He wasn’t wearing a volunteer outfit and putting on an act. He was actually helping these people in his own way.
He was carrying a stretcher, helping to carry the bed, and delivering water to the villagers. She could constantly see Huo Jinyao’s busy figure when she was resting.
But even though he was very busy, he didn’t forget to take care of her.
He brought her food during meal times and ran over to tell her to drink more water while she was resting. They also had to take precautions.
Places where people passed away were prone to epidemics. Huo Jinyao didn’t need to tell Su Qingsang about this.
However, she felt very different when he lectured her instead.
They stayed in the same tent at night. They couldn’t sleep very soundly. If a patient was sent over, they would have to get up at any time.
Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao had both experienced the same thing, so they didn’t find it difficult to endure.
The only thing that made it inconvenient was that it was inconvenient to take a shower here.
When Su Qingsang returned to the tent, she saw that Huo Jinyao’s clothes were covered in dust. It was’t just his clothes, even his hair was covered in dust.
At that moment, Huo Jinyao wasn’t as elegant as when he was the CEO in Rong City?
Su Qingsang’s heart ached. Huo Jinyao didn’t notice her gaze. He took out a bag from behind him.
“Are you tired? There’s food here. I asked Wenchang to bring another one. Here.”
Su Qingsang didn’t take the bag from him. She looked at Huo Jinyao and spoke very seriously.
“Huo Jinyao, you can go back to Rong City.”
“Qingsang?”
“Listen to me. “Su Qingsang had seen Huo Jinyao’s performance in the past two days.
He was really serious about being a volunteer. But she also felt sorry for him.
“Look, there are so many things to deal with at Tianyu Group, but you came to C city. You said before that you have a lot of things to deal with.”
Huo Jinyao didn’t deny that he was indeed very busy.
Especially now that Huo Yifan had left the company, he had to make decisions every day.
Yang Wenchang brought a laptop over for him. He volunteered during the day and would deal with work at night after Su Qingsang fell asleep. He took some time to rest.
It had only been two days, but there were already dark circles under his eyes.
“It’s okay. I can handle those things. Now, this is more important.”
“I know you can handle it. But –” she stepped forward and held Huo Jinyao’s hand. “My heart aches for you.”
She raised her hand and used her sleeve to wipe Huo Jinyao’s face. She actually knew that Huo Jinyao had a slight obsession with cleanliness.
But now, he was being kept busy in such an environment.
“Huo Jinyao, my heart aches for you. I want you to go back and continue being the almighty President.”
Huo Jinyao looked at her and held her hand.
“Honey, you feel sorry for me, but won’t I feel sorry for you?”
Su Qingsang was a doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department, but what she had done in the past two days had nothing to do with the obstetrics and gynecology department.
“You’re here helping the disaster area, but you’re chasing me back. Haven’t you ever thought that there will be aftershocks from time to time? If I really leave here, won’t I be worried about you?”
“The situation is basically stable now. Even if there are aftershocks, I believe it won’t be too serious. Also –”
Su Qingsang tried to convince Huo Jinyao, but Huo Jinyao didn’t accept it.
“Honey, either you come back with me, or I’ll stay with you. In short, I won’t let you go alone. In such an uncertain environment, you’ll have to go through the same fear and worry as before.”
Su Qingsang was at a loss for words. Her throat felt like it was stifled.
She wanted to say something, but in the end, she could only reach out and hug Huo Jinyao.
“Huo Jinyao, did I tell you that I love you?”
“Yes, you’re saying it now.”
“Then did I tell you that I like you because you’re you? Even if there’s a man who’s better than you and treats me better than you, he still can’t make me like him?”
She was answering his question from the other day. Huo Jinyao smiled and wrapped his large hands around her waist.
“Besides,” Su Qingsang looked up at him. Her eyes, which were slightly bloodshot from exhaustion, were still as bright as the stars.
“In my heart, there won’t be a man who’s better than you and treats me better than you.”
Huo Jinyao smiled. He laughed so hard that his chest was trembling. Su Qingsang’s face was pressed against his chest, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly in a faint smile. ……
When Su Peizhen entered the room, not only was there the smell of alcohol, there was also the smell of cigarettes. The room was also very dark, and the lights weren’t turned on.
The entire room smelled very nauseating. She turned on the lights and pulled open the curtains.
The blinding light made Huo Yifan, who was lying on the bed, open his eyes.
When he saw that it was Su Peizhen, he turned over, pushed the bottle of wine in his hand, and went back to sleep.
Su Peizhen looked at him and felt deep resentment in her heart. She turned around and went to the bathroom to bring a basin of water.
She walked to the bed and splashed it onto Huo Yifan’s face.
Huo Yifan had no choice but to get up. He stared at Su Peizhen with wide eyes, as if he was looking at an enemy.
“Are you crazy? What are you doing?”
“What am I doing? I want to ask you now, what are you doing?”
“What I’m doing?” Huo Yifan sneered and wiped the water off his face. “What can I do now? Tell me, what can I do now?”
“I don’t know what you can do now. I only know that no matter what you do now, it’s better than being drunk here.”
“Better? How?”
Huo Yifan got up from the bed. His clothes were wet and he took them off.
He walked up to Su Peizhen and pinched her chin. “What? What else can you use me for? Tell me.”
“Huo Yifan.” Su Peizhen pushed his hand away. “Let me tell you, what else can I use you for now? Look at you. Forget about Huo Jinyao, even I can beat you up. Do you believe me?”
“Yes, why wouldn’t I believe you?” Huo Yifan grabbed Su Peizhen’s arm and pressed her against his body. “You don’t have to beat me up, because I’ll just lie on top of you. Not only will I lie on top of you, I’ll even move and make you……”
Huo Yifan’s face was slapped. He glared at Su Peizhen.
Not only Su Peizhen wasn’t afraid, she also slapped Huo Yifan on the other side of his face.
“Huo Yifan, are you awake now?”
“Su Peizhen.” His expression slightly ferocious, Huo Yifan gritted his teeth. “Let me tell you. No one has ever dared to hit me. You’re the first.”
“Really? Sorry, but I also want to tell you that I’ve never hit a man before. You’re also the first.”
“You……”
“What about me?” Su Peizhen sneered and glared at him, “I only know that Huo Jinyao isn’t in Rong City right now. I also know that he accompanied Su Qingsang to C City. I also know that an earthquake had happened in C City, and Huo Jinyao has not returned until now. And you question me about what I know?”
What does Huo Jinyao not being in Rong City Mean? She didn’t believe that he didn’t know.
Chapter 598: You’re Fat From Failing To Deliver Your Promise
“What do I know? Let me tell you, I know a lot more.” Huo Yifan put down his hand that was lifted up to hit Su Peizhen. “I also know that he’s doing it for publicity. He’s constantly donating resources to the disaster area, and he’s still staying there as a volunteer. What’s wrong? “So what?”
Huo Jinyao knew how to play the good guy. What disaster relief? It was all because Su Qingsang was there.
“So what?” Su Peizhen almost laughed at him. “Are you trying to tell me that deliberately you’re letting go of such a good opportunity when you know that Huo Jinyao isn’t in Rong City?”
“What opportunity?” Huo Yifan looked at Su Peizhen with his eyes wide open. “Tell me, what other opportunity do I have?”
He had already been kicked out by Old Master Huo. What opportunity did he have?
“Huo Jinyao is in C City. There was an earthquake in C City.”
Su Peizhen stared at Huo Yifan’s face. She didn’t believe that he didn’t think of it. “It’s true that you were kicked out of the Tianyu Group, but it hasn’t been that long. Who knows?”
“Who knows?” Huo Yifan sneered. “People who should know all know. What do you think?”
Su Peizhen rolled her eyes. She took two steps forward and grabbed Huo Yifan by the collar of his shirt.
“No wonder you can’t beat Huo Jinyao. With your cowardice, you’d be dreaming if you wanted to beat Huo Jinyao.”
“Okay, okay, okay. I’m cowardly. Huo Jinyao isn’t cowardly. If Huo Jinyao isn’t cowardly, why are you here? Go find him. But the problem is –”
Huo Yifan glanced at Su Peizhen with contempt and sneered, “He doesn’t like you.”
Su Peizhen was annoyed and raised her hand to slap Huo Yifan again.
This time, her slap missed him. Huo Yifan grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
“Don’t you simply want me to take over the Tianyu Group? You want to be the wife of the Tianyu Group’s president, so you can get the best of Su Qingsang, right?”
“So what if I do?” Su Peizhen looked him in the eye. “Can you give it to me?”
“Of course. But the premise is that Huo Jinyao dies first. Would you dare to do it?”
Su Peizhen laughed. She stared at Huo Yifan and said in a slightly cold voice, “Huo Yifan, I won’t harm myself just to harm my enemy. Let me tell you. I’m a person who can do anything except anything illegal.”
This had happened before in Lin City.
“It’s true that I don’t like Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao, but I’m not willing to do anything just to get rid of them.” Huo Yifan. You have to understand that only when you have freedom will you have the chance to get Tianyu Group. If you don’t have freedom…… Even if you get Tianyu Group, you can only stay in jail.”
“Then what else is there to say?” Huo Yifan let go of her hand and pushed her away. “If Huo Jinyao doesn’t die, I’ll never have a chance. What else can I say?”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Su Peizhen took a step forward and looked at Huo Yifan. “The last time I went to the Huo family to look for grandfather, grandfather didn’t pay much attention to me. But I heard something.”
“What?”
“C City is a good place.” Her eyes filled with scheming calculation, Su Peizhen looked at Huo Yifan. “I’m willing to do this personally. However, during this period of time, go to grandfather and do what you have to do, whether it’s crying or begging. First, ask grandfather to let you return to Tianyu Group. If that doesn’t work, go and beg your uncle. Huo Jinyao doesn’t have a good relationship with his parents. However, your uncle should still have a good impression of you. Go and beg your uncle. No matter what method you use, get them to bring you back to Tianyu Group. Leave the rest to me.”
“Leave it to you?” Su Peizhen’s words made Huo Yifan raise his eyebrows. “What exactly do you plan to do? If you didn’t want to get rid of Huo Jinyao, then how could you achieve that?”
“If you don’t believe in my abilities, you don’t have to do as I say.”
Su Peizhen brushed her hair behind her head. “In short, your opportunity is right in front of you. If you can’t join Tianyu Group, then all my previous efforts will be in vain.”
“Alright, I’ll wait and see.” Huo Yifan went forward and pinched her chin. “If you can really make Huo Jinyao lose the desire to deal with the company’s matters, then I have a way to get Tianyu Group. When that time comes, I’ll definitely marry you into the Huo family and make you the wife of the president of Tianyu Group.”
“Alright, I’ll wait.” As Su Peizhen spoke, she waved Huo Yifan’s hand away and took out a document from the bag she brought with her.
“Here.”
“What’s this?”
“It’s a gift for Old Master Huo to help you ask for forgiveness.” Su Peizhen narrowed her eyes. “You didn’t think that the Old Master would let you return without you doing anything, did you?”
Huo Yifan took out the document and looked at it. His expression immediately changed.
“How did you get it?”
“You don’t have to care how I got it. No matter what, with this gift, you’ll naturally be able to return to Tianyu Group. When you go back, keep a low profile. But this project must be done beautifully and well. Otherwise, you still won’t have a place in Tianyu Group.”
Huo Yifan sized up Su Peizhen from head to toe. He couldn’t help but approach her and kiss her cheek lightly.
“Woman, I really feel that my brother was blind for chosing your sister over you.”
“Of course he’s blind.” Su Peizhen sneered. Her abilities and methods were far superior to those of Su Qingsang’s.
Only a man with no taste like Huo Jinyao would treat Su Qingsang like a treasure.
“He’s blind, but I’m not blind.”
As Huo Yifan spoke, he picked up Su Peizhen and pulled her clothes.
“What are you doing? You still have the mood for that at a time like this?”
“The more I feel in the mood for that at a time like this. Don’t worry, with this gift here, the Old Master will definitely agree to let me return to Tianyu Group.” ……
Staring at the lights in front of them, Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao held hands as they stood on a slope.
It had been more than twenty days since the earthquake. The two of them had also been helping out for a week.
The situation in the disaster area had basically stabilized, and the injured had all been taken care of. As for the lives that had already been lost, they couldn’t control.
The higher-ups were very satisfied with the performance of their medical team. Now that the situation was stable, the local hospitals that were adjacent to C City had sent people over to help.
Now, their mission was considered to have been completed and arrangements had been made for them to leave.
The flight was scheduled for tomorrow morning. The airport in C City was damaged in the earthquake. It couldn’t be used for the time being.
They had to take a helicopter to N City first. Then, they would transfer from N City to Rong City.
When the two of them boarded the helicopter the next day, they didn’t expect that the person who came to pick them up would be Zhang Yichen.
“Uncle?”
“Uncle.”
Huo Jinyao looked at Zhang Yichen. A week had passed. Zhang Yichen seemed to have recovered from his injuries. His complexion had recovered to a healthy tan color. He looked much more energetic.
He was wearing a military green shirt. His sleeves were rolled up and his strong arms were exposed.
“Uncle, have you recovered from your injury?” Huo Jinyao sized up Zhang Yichen carefully. He seemed to be in healthy spirits. He seemed to have really recovered.
“Yes.” Zhang Yichen nodded, but his gaze didn’t fall on Su Qingsang. “I just happen to be going to N City as well.”
“You’ve been here for a long time?”
“I’ve been here for two days.” There were many things to do in the disaster area. As a soldier, he had his own responsibilities that he couldn’t escape.
“Isn’t your injury still unhealed yet? Why didn’t you rest for a while more?” Huo Jinyao’s voice was filled with concern. “Did great-aunt agree to you recklessly doing this?”
“I’ve already recovered.”
With a slightly cold voice, Zhang Yichen gestured with his eyes for them to sit properly.
Other than Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang, there were also colleagues from Su Qingsang’s hospital who had come over this time. They knew that Huo Jinyao was very capable, but they didn’t expect that soldiers would also know him.
Everyone boarded the helicopter. Very soon, the helicopter flew up.
Su Qingsang sat next to Huo Jinyao. She looked out of the plane.
Before they came, it was a beautiful and prosperous city. When she looked over now, she could only see ruins.
She wasn’t in a good mood. Huo Jinyao shook her hand, and she turned to look at him. She shook her head slightly to show that she was fine.
In less than a month, she had experienced life and death, and she had seen through life and death.
Although she couldn’t completely accept it, she was much calmer now than when she had just faced it.
Zhang Yichen kept his eyes on the front, as if he did not see Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang holding hands.
When they reached City N, the plane landed at the airport. Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao were the last to get off the plane.
Huo Jinyao went down first and reached out his hand to Su Qingsang. Su Qingsang jumped off the plane with her hand in his.
When she turned to face Zhang Yichen, Su Qingsang nodded very politely. “Thank you, Uncle. Goodbye, Uncle.”
Zhang Yichen responded coldly. Su Qingsang turned around and left. Before she left, her gaze swept across Zhang Yichen’s wrist.
There was a scar that looked very new. That was something she hadn’t seen before.
Huo Jinyao placed his hand on her shoulder in a timely manner. He also thanked Zhang Yichen. “Thank you, Uncle. If you’re free, come to Rong City this week. I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“We’ll talk about it when the time comes. I reckon that we’ll be very busy lately and I won’t have the time to go to Rong City.”
They all knew that Zhang Yichen’s unit was in C City. Before this matter was completely resolved, he was afraid that he wouldn’t have the time to return to Rong City.
Huo Jinyao was just being polite. In fact, he really didn’t want to see Zhang Yichen right now. Even if he was his own Uncle.
The two of them didn’t return to Rong City with Sun Huiya and the others. Instead, they boarded the plane to Lin City.
Li Qianxue knew that Su Qingsang had experienced an earthquake. She was so worried that she almost followed them there.
If Huo Jinyao hadn’t contacted her in time and told her that Su Qingsang’s condition was stable, Li Qianxue would have gone to the disaster area without caring about anything else.
When she heard that Su Qingsang didn’t return to Rong City but stayed in C City, she was very worried.
However, Su Qingsang acted as if nothing had happened. She called her every day to tell her that she was safe. She didn’t mention anything about the situation in the disaster area.
Just because she didn’t say anything didn’t mean that Li Qianxue wouldn’t know. How many aftershocks had happened, and what changes would there be were reported on television, on the news, and on the internet every day.
Under such circumstances, Su Qingsang still had to stay there. How could Li Qianxue not be worried?
She followed the news every day, and after the communication was restored, she asked Su Qingsang to contact her every day. But even so, Li Qianxue was still extremely worried.
Now that she saw Su Qingsang standing in front of her unharmed, Li Qianxue hugged her and gave her back a couple of gentle smacks in mock anger.
“You really have guts, and you don’t even listen to me anymore. I told you to go home, but you didn’t. Do you know that you scared me to death?”
When she found out that Su Qingsang had experienced an earthquake, she wanted nothing more than to have her come back right away. However, Su Qingsang didn’t come back and even dragged Huo Jinyao along to recklessly mess around.
“Mom, I’m fine now, right?”
Su Qingsang’s eyes were slightly red. She was truly grateful that she had narrowly escaped death.
“You’re not one to talk. You’ve already lost so much weight.”
Li Qianxue glared at Huo Jinyao as she spoke. She wanted to criticize him for not taking good care of Su Qingsang.
However, she realized that his complexion was even worst than Su Qingsang’s, and he seemed to have lost even more weight than Su Qingsang.
Knowing that he had accompanied Su Qingsang the entire way, she couldn’t help but grumble, “You too. You’re already a grown up, yet you still let her recklessly mess around. Even if she wanted to stay, couldn’t you have brought her home?”
“It’s my fault. I didn’t try to persuade her.”
Huo Jinyao admitted his mistake with a very good attitude. Li Qianxue wanted to have an outburst, but she couldn’t.
Her son-in-law had already followed her daughter to the disaster area as a volunteer. What else could she be angry about?
She couldn’t help but smack Su Qingsang on the shoulder again.
“This time, I don’t care what you say. You have to stay for a few more days before you leave. Do you know that your grandfather was also extremely worried about you. When he found out that you were in the disaster area, he even went to Qingyuan Temple today and said that he wanted to pray for you. He’s so old, so I asked Yuxin to go with him.”
No wonder she didn’t see Old Master Li. Upon hearing that he was praying for her, Su Qingsang was very touched, even though she didn’t believe in such superstitions.
“Okay, I will stay here for a few more days.”
Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao stayed at the Li residence. In the afternoon, Old Master Li and Su Yuxin came back.
Both of them were very happy to see Su Qingsang. They seemed to have endless questions to ask Su Qingsang.
Su Yuxin’s score was out. He was the top scorer in science in Lin City. He had also thought about studying at a university in the capital city.
Since he had made up his mind, Su Qingsang was quite happy for him. She suddenly thought of Bai Zhihan. No matter what, she and Su Yuxin were in a relationship. She wondered what her grades were like and which school she would go to.
She wanted to ask but now wasn’t the right time, so she could only talk about it later.
At night in Lin City, it suddenly started to rain, accompanied by the sound of thunder.
Su Qingsang had been very tired recently, but she couldn’t fall asleep because of the sound of thunder.
She tossed and turned on the bed. Huo Jinyao was about to fall asleep, but he couldn’t sleep anymore because of her actions.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just can’t sleep.”
“Do you think the thunder is too loud?”
“Sort of.” The other reason was that she was thinking about Su Yuxin.
He decided to go to university in the capital city, which was far away from home. Although he could come back during winter and summer breaks, it was still more convenient to stay in Lin City.
Her grandfather was old, and Li Qianxue was busy with company matters every day.
Su Qingsang couldn’t bear it, but she also knew that this was something that couldn’t be helped.
There was also Bai Zhihan. She had just asked Su Yuxin and said that Bai Zhihan didn’t perform well on her college entrance exam. Her results weren’t particularly ideal.
She probably couldn’t go to university with Su Yuxin in the capital city.
She could tell that Su Yuxin had genuine feelings for Bai Zhihan. But if they were separated during the four years of university, there would be too many unpredictable variables.
Bai Zhihan felt very insecure, but Su Yuxin was determined.
He had always known what he wanted, and he probably wouldn’t compromise for Bai Zhihan.
She felt a painful sensation on her lips. Su Qingsang couldn’t help but look at Huo Jinyao. “What are you doing?”
“Aren’t you tired?” Huo Jinyao gently bit her lips again. “Aren’t you ever tired? Aren’t you tired from thinking about all sorts of things every day?”
“Why not think about all sorts of things? They’re my family, of course I –”
He sealed her mouth with a kiss, and she was unable to say anything else. Su Qingsang was a little annoyed. She was seriously worried, but he didn’t care at all.
She reached out to hit him, but Huo Jinyao bit her lips and spoke very softly.
“You’re not tired anyway, so why don’t we do something else?”
As Huo Jinyao spoke, his big hand started to reach into her clothes.
Su Qingsang was so angry that she laughed. “Who said I wasn’t tired? But the thunder is so loud, so how can I sleep?”
“Well, then you’re actually not tired enough. When you’re tired, naturally you’ll fall asleep.”
Huo Jinyao’s voice was muffled. Su Qingsang couldn’t push him away. She could only let him do whatever he wanted.
When the two of them saw each other, Huo Jinyao suddenly stopped moving.
His hand instinctively reached towards the bedside cabinet, but he remembered that they were at the Li family’s house, not in Rong City.
He gritted his teeth and rolled over to get off Su Qingsang’s body.
Su Qingsang hugged him at that moment. She met his eyes, and her gaze was clear.
“Didn’t we agree to have a child?”
Huo Jinyao’s expression was a little conflicted. He wasn’t ready yet.
But how could Su Qingsang give him the time to prepare? She rolled over and took the dominant position over him.
Huo Jinyao had never had much self-control in front of her. He looked at her and spoke through gritted teeth.
“You’ve grown bolder.”
“Not as bold as you.” Su Qingsang went to bite his ear. “You’re fat from failing to deliver your promise.”
She was accusing him of not keeping his word. Huo Jinyao looked at her slightly hazy eyes, then gritted his teeth and switched from the submissive position to taking the initiative.
Forget it. If she wanted to have a child, it was up to fate.
Before coming together, Huo Jinyao stopped what he was doing. He gazed into her mesmerizing eyes and his voice was firm.
“Just this once. If you get pregnant, then give birth. If you don’t, then go back and do what you’re supposed to do, okay?”
If Su Qingsang wasn’t in a bad state right now, she would have beaten him up. What did he mean?
She didn’t agree, but Huo Jinyao had already made up his mind. He lowered his waist and gave himself to her.
Su Qingsang gritted her teeth. She felt a little shy, but in the end, she raised her waist.
She was a gynecologist, so she naturally knew what kind of circumstances would make it easier for her to have children.
Huo Jinyao knew what she was thinking, and he couldn’t help but laugh. He really didn’t know that Su Qingsang was so persistent about having children.
“Honey, since you’re acting like this, should I work harder today?”
Su Qingsang couldn’t help but want to bite him again, but she didn’t bite him and turned to scratch his back.
“Don’t worry, honey. I will definitely work hard.”
Su Qingsang couldn’t bear it anymore. She raised her head and bit his shoulder.
This guy was taking advantage of her yet still pretending to be aggrieved. How annoying. ……
“Qingsang, you’re really bad.”
Su Qingsang stayed in the Li family for two days with Old Master Li and Li Qianxue. Today, she finally had time to ask Li Qianxue to let her go out.
As soon as she went out, she went to look for Shi Mengwan.
Shi Mengwan had come back from the competition in France, but she was very busy. This time, she didn’t win the championship, but she got a most special design award.
This award was very meaningful, and it also made Shi Mengwan famous overseas as a rookie designer. More and more people came looking for her.
When Su Qingsang saw Shi Mengwan again, she realized that she didn’t look well either.
“Your eyes have dark circles under them. Were you worried about me? Or were you busy with work?”
“You heartless rascal.” Shi Mengwan went to pinch her arm. “Of course I was worried about you.”
She was really worried about Su Qingsang. If she didn’t find out later that Huo Jinyao had accompanied her to the disaster area, she would have gone too.
Su Qingsang was touched. She hugged her waist tightly and said, “Alright, alright, I’m fine now.”
She stepped back a little and looked at Shi Mengwan’s expression. “You, don’t think that I don’t know. You definitely stayed up all night drawing again. I know that you want to earn money, but no matter how much you want to earn money, you have to take care of your health.”
Shi Mengwan didn’t say anything. It was true that she wanted to earn money. It was also true that she wanted to prove.
Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei were engaged after all. She was powerless to stop them, and she couldn’t do anything either.
Zhan Haoze had come to look for her twice during this period of time, but she avoided him. When he came to the studio, she asked people to say that she wasn’t there.
When he came to her house, she hid and didn’t open the door for him.
Sometimes, Shi Mengwan didn’t understand. He was already engaged, so why did he come to look for her?
Was he trying to turn her into a mistress?
Or was Zhan Haoze that confident? Confident in her feelings for him and that she would never be out of his control, so he had nothing to fear?
No matter what, Shi Mengwan felt tired. Even though she knew that Zhan Haoze was the big brother that she had been missing for more than ten years.
But this kind of relationship, this kind of relationship where she was a third party, was too tiring for her.
“Mengwan, what’s wrong? Are you really tired?”
“Yes, I’m very tired.” Shi Mengwan pursed her lips. “It’s not a big award, but the Internet is so developed now. Many people are bragging about that award. I don’t even have enough time to take orders online these days.”
Su Qingsang looked at her with pity. “Poor you. Why don’t you take a break for a while? Or stop taking orders temporarily, or hire some more people. Your studio is already large-scale now anyway, so you can also recruit a lot of people.”
“I want to, but there aren’t many good designers who have styles similar to mine and agree with my aesthetics.”
Su Qingsang knew Shi Mengwan very well. She didn’t continue to talk about this matter.
Shi Mengwan didn’t think about Zhan Haoze anymore. She felt heartache when she thought about it that person, but she felt empty and anguished when she didn’t think about him.
She only wanted to suppress the emotions in the bottom of her heart and get rid of those thoughts. Instead, she asked about Su Qingsang’s incident in the disaster area.
The two sisters went shopping, chatted, gathered, and drank tea together, just like when Su Qingsang was still in Lin City.
At the same time, a plane slowly landed in Lin City.
Su Peizhen wore a pair of Dior sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, and she was wearing Chanel’s latest summer design.
She slowly walked out of the airport with a subtle smile on her lips.
She, Su Peizhen, has returned to Lin City.
