Chapter 143: Chapter 143 - Everyone Has Secrets

How many times has it been? It seemed that Huo Jinyao was always avoiding being in her presence whenever he took a call. Why is that so?

Everyone has secrets. She could understand that. However, we’re a married couple now. Are we still supposed to keep secrets from each other?

Qiu Yanbo’s words flashed across her mind. Huo Jinyao’s identity...what identity was he referring to?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Qingsang could not sit still anymore. She got up and casually threw on some clothing before heading to look for Huo Jinyao.

He was standing at the balcony. After they had fooled around for most of the night, it was getting rather late.

His face betrayed a smirk as he listened to whoever was speaking on the other end of the line.

“Let him be, I’m not at leisure to deal with him just now.”

“Don’t worry, let him remain complacent for a little while. Let him stumble and fall after rising to the top. That’s much more interesting.”

In the darkness of the night, Huo Jinyao’s face revealed a flash of extreme ruthlessness.

When Su Qingsang came out to the living area, she happened to catch sight of the emotion he reflected.

Her mind went blank for a moment and she stopped in her tracks.

Hearing a sound behind him, Huo Jinyao swiftly turned around. In a split second, his expression changed completely.

“Why have you come out? Weren’t you exhausted? Why don’t you go to sleep?”

“I...” Su Qingsang’s lips twitched and she looked up at Huo Jinyao. “Whom were you speaking to at this hour?”

“A colleague from the company.”

“Which colleague?” Which colleague would cause him to speak in that tone and with that expression?

“You don’t know them.” Huo Jinyao avoided answering her question directly and brushed it off casually. He reached out to draw her into his arms and made an effort to change the subject. “Aren’t you tired? I thought you couldn’t even get off the bed.”

“Huo Jinyao,” Su Qingsang did not really care what Huo Jinyao’s true identity was, but she disliked the feeling of being kept in the dark.

“Dear,” Huo Jinyao carried her up in one sweeping motion. “Looks like my hard work just now was not enough? To think you still have the energy to get off the bed. This is definitely my fault.”

“Huo Jinyao,” Su Qingsang started to struggle. “Stop your flippancy. I have something serious that I want to tell you about.”

“I also have some serious business with you.” Huo Jinyao carried her back to the bedroom. “Dear, it looks like you’re not tired after all. Let us continue then?”

“I’m tired.” Su Qingsang would not allow him to fool around. “I’m going to sleep.”

“That’s alright. I’m going to hit the sack too. We’ll do that together.”

“Huo Jinyao,” Su Qingsang tried to wriggle free, but he once again held her down.

“Fine, fine, dear. Look, free nights are hard to come by, so why don’t we make the most of this one?”

Su Qingsang was no match for Huo Jinyao. Soon, she was overpowered and caught in the throes of passion, and naturally stood no chance of finding out anything about Huo Jinyao’s identity just then.

...

Su Qingsang sat in the car with her face turned towards the window. Her pure and attractive face was tinged with anger. She completely ignored Huo Jinyao when he leaned over to speak to her from time to time.

“Dear...”

Su Qingsang pretended not to have heard him.

“Dear,” Huo Jinyao said again. “Fine, dear. I admit that it’s my fault. Please don’t be angry anymore.”

“Don’t say another word.”

Upon uttering these few words, Su Qingsang felt her voice wane. She became more agitated and had no intention of acknowledging Huo Jinyao.

“Dear...”

“I’m going to get out of the car if you don’t stop talking.”

Huo Jinyao did not dare to utter another word. He looked at Su Qingsang mournfully.

Looking at how he adopted this demeanor again, Su Qingsang was infuriated. She could not even be bothered to reprimand him this time.

This guy... I’m not going to begrudge him doing as he wished with me two nights ago. Yesterday was my day off and we had originally planned to go out to have a good time.

In the end, they did not go anywhere and had spent the whole day in bed.

If I had not passed out last night, I’m afraid that he would not have stopped.

Su Qingsang’s throat was sore and her voice was hoarse. She did not even dare to think about how her colleagues would tease her when she returned to work tomorrow.
