Huo Jinyao called her name smoothly, âQingsang.â
Su Qingsang glanced at his calm and relaxed expression. She was about to ask him not to call her by her own name, but she swallowed her words.
It was just a name so he could just say it. After all, this marriage wasnât going to last. She saved her work and stood up.
After she left the room, Su Qingsang saw that there were four dishes and a bowl of soup on the dining table. She hesitated for a moment, then turned around to look at him. âYou can cook?â
He didnât seem like the question. Huo Jinyaoâs face suddenly grew awkward. âI just ordered food.â
Su Qingsang walked closer and observed the dishes. It was delivery all right. After all, she didnât cook much and there werenât many ingredients in her fridge.
Huo Jinyao smiled and said, âIf you want, I can cook for you next time.â
Su Qingsang sat down in the chair and looked at him. âAre you sure?â
âOf course.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Whatâs so hard about cooking? Huo Jinyao thought to himself.
âToday is my first day here, so I donât know how everything is organized in the kitchen.â This implied that he intended to find out where everything went.
Su Qingsang nodded her head, believing him.
She had no idea how to cook. Although the Su family wasnât very nice to her, they didnât torture her or let her be a maid.
Afterwards, in order to leave her family sooner, she only focused on school and basically lived there, and always ate at the schoolâs cafeteria. As for cooking, she could only make noodles.
âAlthough itâs takeout, it should still taste good. But if you donât like it, we can order something else since I donât know what you like to eat.â
Huo Jinyaoâs behavior of fishing for compliments made Su Qingsang feel awkward. âItâs fine. Iâm not picky.â
She was just an illegitimate daughter of the Su family, so what right did she have to be picky? Therefore, Huo Jinyao really didnât need to act this way.
Huo Jinyao sat down next to her, filled a bowl with soup and placed it in front of her. It was way too polite.
Su Qingsang felt extremely uncomfortable, but Huo Jinyao didnât seem to notice and continued talking, âLet me know if you have something that you love to eat. We can eat that tonight.â
âI already told you that Iâm not picky.â She was very busy and really didnât have time to spare on trivial things like food.
Huo Jinyao looked confused as he stopped talking and looked at her cold expression. He tilted his head to look at her observingly. âAre you unhappy?â
âNo.â She was the one who wanted to get married; she didnât have an excuse to put a slap to Huo Jinyaoâs face. But she wasnât used to having another person by her side.
She didnât do these things even with Wei Lenan, despite the fact that they were going to get married in a few months.
âBut you clearly look unhappy,â Huo Jinyao pressed on.
Huo Jinyaoâs careless behavior gave Su Qingsang a headache, and she replied, âIâm not unhappy.â
She saw that Huo Jinyao was a bit startled by her, so she made her voice sound a bit gentler. âYouâre a grown man. You really donât need to do all of this.â
She had lived with the Su family ever since she could remember. With her existence, it was clear that Su Chenghui and Li Qianxueâs relationship wasnât the best.
It wasnât just the Su family. Su Qingsang had seen many couples who had relations with the Su family act all lovey-dovey in front of people, but in reality, their relationships werenât what they seemed to be.
This was also one of the reasons why she agreed to marry Wei Lenan. She had no expectations for love and no expectations for men either. Her plan was to just live with a man, so it didnât matter who the man was going to be. If it wasnât going to be Wei Lenan, then it would be Huo Jinyao.
Did it matter who she was living with?
In fact, she thought that a cold and indifferent relationship between Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue was a normal one.
âYou donât have to do these things.â She thought for a second and added, âHuo Jinyao, we both know that we are only a couple on the surface. You donât have to do these things.â
There would be no use in doing them.
