âI told you, I thought if Junsheng was there they wouldnât...â Looking at the scorn in Su Qingsangâs eyes, Huo Jingyao reached out and grabbed her hands. âWife, I swear to god I did not betray you. Iâm a victim too.â
âYouâre a victim? Why do I feel like youâre enjoying this?â
If he was a victim, would he have cooperated with them? She thought they must have worked quite well together.
âAbsolutely not.â When Huo Jinyao spoke again he began to act carelessly. He pulled her into his arms. âI was only passionate because I thought that person was you. I wouldnât have responded to any other women, so you...â
âHuo Jinyao.â Su Qingsang couldnât listen anymore. What the hell was he saying? âShut up.â
Huo Jinyao zipped his mouth shut, but he was unsatisfied and moved his face closer to her again. âWife, please, just believe me right now!â
Su Qingsang remained silent. She turned her face away and ignored him. Huo Jinyao began to shake her arm like a child.
âAlright. Wife, I promise, this will never happen again.â
âWould you want it to?â
âOf course not.â Huo Jinyao quickly raised three fingers and swore, âThis is the last time.â
Su Qingsang had already begun to believe him when she saw his reaction. She was just messing with him. Considering how drunk he had gotten last night, no way he could have called out He Xuanyaoâs name.
He still needed to learn a lesson. Otherwise, he wouldnât know where he had gone wrong.
Su Qingsang suddenly froze and Huo Jinyao felt the tension.
âWife...â Sheâs not bringing it up again, is she?
Su Qingsang tilted her head and looked at him. She had to admit that Huo Jinyao was very handsome. Was there more to this handsome face?
âThat was He Xuanyao yesterday, wasnât it? She told me something.â
âWhat?â Huo Jinyao put his guard up, unsure of what Su QInsaang was about to tell him.
âShe said you were just playing with me. She said you couldnât like someone like me. She also said-â
âWife, she was talking nonsense.â
âBut she told me I wasnât good enough for you, that your family would never let you marry an illegitimate child.â
âWife.â The expression on Huo Jinyaoâs face changed.
Su Qingsang continued. âHuo Jinyao, Iâm curious. What is your family like. Who are you exactly?â
The atmosphere in the room changed. Everything was dead silent.
Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang. She was calm and her eyes were full of tranquility. Su Qingsang had always been a smart person, he knew that.
She just never cared about arguing with others. That did not make her stupid.
âI-â Huo Jinyao seemed to be thinking about what he was going to say. âWife, I can explain.â
âUh huh. Go ahead.â
âI-â
âYou are actually hiding something from me, arenât you?â
âNo.â Huo Jinyao waved his hand quickly. âIâm just -â
The doorbell rang, Huo Jinxiao jumped off the bed, as if he has just been spared his life. He quickly threw on a bathrobe and opened the door.
Su Qingsang curled up under the blanket. She obviously could not let others see her like this.
The room service was bringing clothes for Huo Jinyao. Now, they also needed to bring some clothes for Su Qingsang.
After they had their clothes delivered, Huo Jinyao returned back to the room. Su Qingsang was already sitting up, waiting for his explanation.
âWife, if I tell you, you have to promise me you wonât be angry.â
âOkay, I wonât be mad.â
