If the Su Family and the Li Family learned that Qiu Yanbo broke off his engagement with Su Peizhen because of her, the aftermath would be a mess.
Although it was not her fault, she was the cause.
âSister? Can you hear me? Sister?â Su Yuxin asked over the phone.
âI am fine.â Su Qingsang shook her head. She had no idea what she could do.
She hoped that Qiu Yanbo would not go crazy.
âOkay, I will come to see you in a few days when I have the time,â Su Yuxin said.
âAlright,â Su Qingsang replied. Su Qingsang was quite willing to see Su Yuxin. She added, âYou should comfort your sister and encourage her to be optimistic. She is so good that she can definitely find someone else better.â
âI know, but I cannot stay home every day, so the job of comforting her falls on my mother,â Su Yuxin said.
Su Qingsang hung up the phone and found Huo Jinyao was looking at her. Her expression couldnât escape his notice.
âWhat happened?â Huo Jinyao asked.
âNothing,â Su Qingsang replied and looked at Huo Jinyao. She didnât know what to say. She couldnât tell him that Qiu Yanbo broke off his engagement with Su Peizhen because of her.
For one thing, it might seem like she was bragging. It would be such a narcissistic thing to say.
For another, no husband would like to hear this kind of thing. Huo Jinyao was no exception.
âYou and I are a couple. Is there anything that we canât tell each other?â Huo Jinyao asked.
Huo Jinyao turned off his computer and filed his documents. Then, he moved towards her.
âLook, your frown is so intense. How could it be nothing?â Huo Jinyao asked.
âQiu Yanbo broke his engagement with Su Peizhen,â Su Qingsang replied.
Finally, the truth came out. âI donât know whether or not he did that for me. But if he did, I will feelââ
âIt is not about you. It is about Qiu Yanbo himself,â Huo Jinyao said.
Huo Jinyao interrupted her because he didnât want her to blame herself. âHe is not a child and should learn to take responsibility for his own behavior. He must have thoroughly considered all his options before making up his mind.â
âButââ Su Qingsang started.
âIf he really loved Su Peizhen, they would be together instead of this whole mess happening,â Huo Jinyao interrupted her again.
Su Qingsang knew that was true. Still, the worry still occupied her mind, âI hope my father and my aunt will not...â
âDonât worry.â Holding her in his arms, Huo Jinyao said, âI will never let them hurt you.â
âI donât think they will hurt me. I just donât want to be involved in such a ridiculous issue,â Su Qingsang explained.
âYes, I agree.â Kissing her on her forehead, Huo Jinyao said, âYou are my wife now. Qiu Yanbo is so disgusting.â
Su Qingsang didnât know what to say. âAlthough he is quite annoying, there is no denying that he did save my life this time. I hope that he only did it on impulse.â
âYou think he did it on impulse? I think he did it with concealed intentions.â Huo Jinyao sneered and said, âHe just went to them and broke off his engagement with Su Peizhen. On the surface, it looks like he did it for you. In fact, he did it just for himself.â
Su Qingsang cast him a confusing look. He continued to explain, âThink about it. He told you that he liked you and had an affection on you. Later, he broke off his engagement with Su Peizhen. Now, he can say that he did it because of you. What can you do then?
âYou have gotten married, so you canât accept him. His deed will result in nothing but you blaming yourself, feeling guilty, and feeling sorry for him.â Huo Jinyao said.
âIf you hadnât got married, his movement would have thrown you into the dilemma as well,â Huo Jinyao added.
âThink about it. Isnât that the case?â Huo Jinyao asked.
Su Qingsang could not think of anything to dispute what Huo Jinyao said. She shook her head and said, âI get your point, but the person Iâm worried about isnât Qiu Yanbo.â
