Chapter 202: Chapter 202 - What Is There to Worry About?

“What’s the matter?”

When Huo Jinyao got home, he noticed that something was wrong with Su Qingsang.

“Sweetheart, what happened?”

“Nothing.”

Su Qingsang did not know what to say and could not do anything but look at Huo Jinyao.

It didn’t look to Huo Jinyao like nothing had happened. He reached out his hand and dragged the corners of her mouth up.

“Why aren’t you smiling if nothing has happened? Didn’t you hang out with your best friend today? What’s the matter? Didn’t you have a good time?”

Su Qingsang shook her head, looked at Huo Jinyao. She finally told him about what happened.

She didn’t realize that she had gotten used to talking to him about her problems. She had been used to solving problems by herself, but Huo Jinyao had gradually made her feel at ease. Now, she could try to believe in him. At least she believed that he wouldn’t hurt her.

After hearing everything, Huo Jinyao’s face did not change much. “What is there to worry about? You didn’t make Qiu Yanbo break off the engagement.”

“That’s right, but—”

“There is no but.” Huo Jinyao took her hand and put it in his palm, his other hand on her shoulder. “Qiu Yanbo is an adult who should be deemed responsible for his own behavior. He himself broke off the engagement and abandoned Su Peizhen. Even if she actually knows everything and wants to blame you, it would be completely unreasonable.”

Su Qingsang had nothing to say. Huo Jinyao turned her face and made her look at him, very seriously.

“Sweetheart, even if she wanted to mess with you, isn’t it on Qiu Yanbo to handle whatever mess she makes? It was him that got you involved in this in the first place. You did nothing wrong.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He had a point. Su Qingsang followed his train of thought and nodded.

“So, Su Peizhen is not your problem, but Qiu Yanbo’s. He would have fallen in love with someone else if he hadn’t fallen for you. What’s there for you to worry about?”

Su Qingsang was silent. She looked at Huo Jinyao’s handsome face for a quite a while before she finally said, “Huo Jinyao, you really have a silver tongue.”

He was so persuasive that she could not refute him at all.

“A silver tongue?” He kissed her cheek and said, “I think so. I think my tongue is better at something else, though, don’t you think?”

As he spoke, he glanced at her body intentionally. Su Qingsang could not bear him any longer and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

“Where are you looking?”

“Wherever I want.” Huo Jinyao pulled her hands away and leaned over her. “Sweetheart, I can make you remember how good my tongue is tonight.”

“Stop it.” Su Qingsang pushed him away. “I’m hungry. Let’s have dinner.”

Sister Lu had just finished the dinner and left. The food was still hot, just right for eating.

Su Qingsang could not listen to him any longer, so they sat down at the table.

Huo Jinyao put a bowl of soup in front of her. Looking at her face, which was more relaxed than before, he asked tentatively.

“Sweetheart, did you really decide to go back to work tomorrow?”

“Yes.” She had already agreed to.

“Can you ask for leave and take a few days off?”

“Ask for leave? Why?”

“Look, your hospital really went too far in treating you like that. If you are so obedient and go back as they soon as they ask you to, doesn’t that make you spineless?”

Huo Jinyao tried his best to convince Su Qingsang, who picked up her bowl and looked at him. She asked him, “So you want me to ask for leave?”
