Huo Jinyao sensed the emotion in her voice.
âNothing.â Su Qingsang yawned. âThere was a long road under construction on the way here. It took us four hours to get here, when it should have been only two and a half. Before we could settle down, there was a car accident and a lot of injured people were brought into the hospital where we are stationed. We all helped and, finally, I have some time now.â
âSweetheart, youâve worked too hard.â Huo Jinyaoâs voice was as unserious as usual. âItâs a pity that I am not with you. I could give you a massage.â
âI donât want a massage.â Every time he gave her a massage, it turned into something else halfway.
âYou donât want a massage? What should I do then?â He seemed to be worried. âIâm not with you now. I canât help you when youâre tired.â
âYou donât need to do anything. I just wanted to tell you.â She was not really that tired. She had experienced more tiring things in her life. Strangely, however, she couldnât help but want to talk to him when he was around. She wanted to listen to him comfort her and call her sweetheart in the voice she had become familiar with.
âWell, sweetheart,â Huo Jinyao said, coming up with an idea. âLet me give you a kiss and you will certainly feel more relaxed.â
âHuo Jinyao. Youââ
Huo Jinyao kissed the phone with a smack. He felt it was not enough, so he gave it another two or three kisses after that.
âSweetheart, do you feel my kisses of love?â
Su Qingsang blushed. Although she knew that Huo Jinyao could not see her through the phone, she could not help it. âStop it now,â she said.
âYou didnât feel it? Iâll do it again.â
âHuo Jinyao.â Su Qingsang could not bear it any longer. âThatâs enough. Iâm going to have dinner.â
âAt this time?â The Huo Family had dinner late because Huo Mingguang and Liu Tongjia had come back late. Why was Su Qingsang eating so late?
âWell, we canât help it. We have been busy until now.â Before going to dinner, she thought of Huo Jinyaoâs words. He had asked her to give him a call when she arrived. She had been so busy working with the other doctors that she hadnât had the time to call him until now.
âGo quickly then, sweetheart. If you donât eat well, I will be worried.â
âFlattery.â
âWhy would I need to flatter you?â Huo Jinyao retorted with a serious voice, âWhatever, I will check in when you are back. If you donât take good care of yourself and end up thinner or lighter, Iâll punish you.â
âHow do you want to punish me?â Su Qingsang did not believe he would dare do anything to her.
âHow do you think I will punish you? Huo Jinyao smiled in a strange way and spit out two words.
Su Qingsangâs face became redder. âI donât want to talk with you now. Iâm gonna hang up.â
âSweetheart.â Huo Jinyao called to her and said, âYou seem to have forgotten something?â
âWhat?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat do you think?â Huo Jinyao did not mind reminding her. âI have sent you so many kisses of love. You would just hang up on me?â
Su Qingsang was defeated and kissed the phone.
Huo Jinyao was satisfied and let her go at last. He hung up the phone and turned around, only to find Huo Mingguang was standing behind him.
Being overheard by him did not embarrass Huo Jinyao at all. He headed directly for the dining room. Huo Mingguang blocked his way and stared at him with a serious expression.
âAre you serious about this woman?â
