âStop.â Su Qingsang could not listen anymore. She needed some time to digest the things that had happened today.
She looked up at Huo Jinyao and asked, âWhy are you so good to me?â
âSilly girl, this is being good to you?â Jinyao pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips. âYou are my wife. Whom should I be good to if not you? Trust me, I will treat you better in the future.â
Leaning against his chest, Su Qingsang could not say a word.
âWhat is it?â He looked down at her and was confused to see that her face was not quite cheerful. âYou donât like it? We can see some others tomorrow.â
âItâs not that.â Su Qingsang shook her head and encircled Huo Jinyaoâs waist with her arms, which she rarely did. âIâm just touched.â
âSilly girl,â Huo Jinyao said, rubbing her hair. âWell, I must give you more presents to get you to touch me more.â
âHuo Jinyao.â Su Qingsang looked up at him. Her eyes were serious and concentrated. âYou actually donât have to. These things are not what I want.â
âSweetheart?â
âWe donât need a huge house, but just one thatâs enough to live in. We donât need too much money, just enough to support our life. Iâm glad you gave me a present and went out of your way to make me known to everyone in the city. I still want the two of us to keep our life simple, though. Will you?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYes. Itâs all up to you.â Huo Jinyao smiled tenderly. Su Qingsang felt her heart beating quickly. She was so comfortably warm.
Huo Jinyao did not insist on her accepting his present, but gave her time to adapt to the change.
Raising her head, she kissed him on the lips. This time Huo Jinyao took the initiative and grabbed her waist.
The light on the back garden was not too bright; the shadows of the handsome couple looked so beautiful.
Standing in the corner, Qiu Yanbo narrowed his eyes as he watched the couple hugging and kissing.
âDoes it hurt?â
A very light voice spoke in his ear. Qiu Yanbo turned around to find that Su Peizhen had come outside as well.
She was looking at the scene as well. Qiu Yanbo slightly knitted his eyebrows and was going to leave, but Su Peizhen blocked his way.
âFeel bad, do you? Does it hurt you? Itâs too late; she is married.â
She had never sounded so gloating. All the usual calmness and grace of the eldest Miss Su had disappeared now.
âYou donât look very good right now.â
Qiu Yanbo looked at Su Peizhenâs face. She was good-looking, even gorgeous. Now, however, he was displeased at her beauty. âIf I donât look good, you are no better.â
âQiu Yanbo.â Not wanting to be heard by the rest of the hall, Su Peizhen lowered her voice and said, âWhat do you want? Huo Jinyao is not someone you can mess with. Tianyu Group is not a company you can easily go up against.â
âItâs none of your business. I want you to know this: today, Huo Jinyaoâs attitude spoke for itself. He doesnât respect your family.â
Su Peizhen turned sour. Wasnât Huo Jinyaoâs action also a slap in the face of the Su Family?
He cooperated with the Su Family at first, which made them feel appreciated. Now, though, he treated their illegitimate daughter as a treasure. It felt like he was laughing at their stupidity and blindness.
