Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsangâs face and cleared his throat. âMy family is indeed not too badly off.â
âHow good is not bad?â
âWeâre a little rich.â
âAnd?â It could not be as simple as a little rich, could it?
âI had a quarrel with my family before I left. Then, I met you.â Fearing that Su Qingsang would not believe him, Huo Jinyao took her hand again and said, âI have nothing to do with my family now.â
âThatâs it?â Is that all?
âThatâs it.â Huo Jinyao nodded vigorously, afraid that she would not believe him.
âDid you have a serious quarrel with your family?â
âYes.â Huo Jinyao nodded intently. âIt was a very severe altercation. Now, Iâve broken away from my family and am starting over. That was why I didnât tell you.â
Su Qingsang did not speak and Huo Jinyao could not tell whether she was angry or not. He looked at her carefully, âSweetheart, youâre not angry, are you?â
âSo, youâve broken away from your family and have been living here all by yourself?â
âYes.â Huo Jinyao nodded. âSo, you see, sweetheart, I am really miserable.â
Miserable? How? Su Qingsang almost laughed out. She was speechless. With his personality, how could he let himself become miserable?
âYouâre not the only child in your family, are you?â If he was, then his running away was not good for his family.
âIâm not.â Huo Jinyaoâs voice was very light. If Su Qingsang had looked at him closely, she would have found that something had changed in Huo Jinyaoâs eyes.
âThere is nothing else that youâre hiding from me, is there?â Su Qingsang looked at him suspiciously. Why did she still feel something was still wrong?
âNo, I promise.â Huo Jinyao held up three fingers. Behind him, where Su Qingsang could not see, he crossed the fingers on his other hand.
Su Qingsang wanted to ask more, but her phone rang. She answered it and was told that there was an emergency at the hospital now.
âIâm going back to work.â She was supposed to have been working the night shift that day. Su Qingsang quickly got out of bed but fell forward because of her soft feet. Huo Jinyao helped her up quickly.
âDonât go to work if youâre tired.â
âHa.â Su Qingsang sneered. âThanks to someone.â
âMe.â Huo Jinyaoâs momentum was weakened again.
âYou know it, huh?â Su Qingsang thought of something and added, âDonât drink anymore.â
âYes, Madam.â Huo Jinyao raised his hand and saluted. âI promise I wonât drink anymore. I will listen to my sweetheart.â
His unserious face gave Su Qingsang a headache. If she had had to parent Huo Jinyao with his roguish character, she probably would have thrown him out of the house.
A bit later, Huo Jinyaoâs car stopped at the gate of the hospital and Su Qingsang got out of the car in a hurry.
âSweetheartââ Huo Jinyao looked at her. A bit of hesitation flashed through his eyes.
âWhat?â Su Qingsang was anxious to get into the hospital and ignored Huo Jinyaoâs look of hesitation.
âNothing, itâs just you havenât given me a goodbye kiss.â Huo Jinyao grinned again and resumed his insincere expression.
This guy is really good at leaving people speechless.
Su Qingsang rolled her eyes, ignored him, and went directly into the hospital.
Watching her walk away, Huo Jinyao did not hurry to start the car; instead, he took out his cell.
He pressed a few numbers and gave orders coldly to the person on the other end of the line. âItâs me. Terminate all cooperation with the Heâs Group, now.â
His eyes were dark and cold. If Su Qingsang had been there, she would have thought that he was another person, not the Huo Jinyao who always clowned around in front of her.
