Huo Jinyao did not see Xiang Caiping. He glanced at the bedroom and heard the faint sound of running water.
Sensing that the coast was clear, he went forward and put his arms around Su Qingsangâs waist. She was organizing the things that she had bought while out with Xiang Caiping.
âDear, are these the clothes you two bought this evening?â
âThatâs right,â Su Qingsang took a quick look at the shopping bags beside her. âDo you think that we bought too much?â
The purchases had been a little excessive, but the excessiveness was unintentional. Bumping into Su Peizhen had made her wary of Xiang Caiping possibly pondering Su Peizhenâs identity. As a result, she had led Xiang Caiping on a shopping spree to divert her attention from Su Peizhen.
Huo Jinyao lifted his hand to squeeze Su Qingsangâs cheeks affectionately. âOn the contrary, you hardly bought enough. Dear, you can buy out the whole department store next time. If there isnât enough space here to store your purchases, then weâll put them in our villa.â
âYou donât have to exaggerate so much.â She hadnât expected to buy so much that day and she was worried about fitting everything into her small walk-in closet. Perhaps some of the clothes would really need to be moved to the villa.
âItâs not an exaggeration, my dear. You can never spend too much.â An idea struck Huo Jinyao. âDear, I can buy an entire department store as a gift for you. You can then purchase anything in it whenever you want.â
âHuo Jinyao, who are you, Zhou You Wang, now?â Buying an entire department store? Heâs really crazy, isnât he?
âNot at all.â Huo Jinyao sat Su Qingsang down on his lap as he spoke, leaning to kiss her face.
âMy wifeâs beauty beats Baosiâs by a mile.â
Su Qingsang had to keep herself from rolling her eyes. This fellow just canât resist being glib.
âQuit fooling around.â Aunt Xiang is still around. Su Qingsang wanted to get off her husbandâs lap.
âIâm not fooling around. Iâm telling you the truth.â Huo Jinyao was not satiated with just a kiss on his wifeâs face. He went on to kiss her on her lips.
As he leaned over to kiss her, Su Qingsang speedily put her finger to his lips.
âAre you drunk?â She had caught a whiff of alcohol on him just now and the smell was intensifying.
âI only drank a little. Donât worry, dear, I am not drunk.â As Huo Jinyao spoke, his hands started to wander all over Su Qingsang suggestively.
âHuo Jinyao.â He was overlooking the fact that they were not alone at home. Su Qingsang hastily held onto his hands and said, âStop fooling around.â
âIâm not.â Huo Jinyao buried his face into Su Qingsangâs neck. âDear, I missed you.â
His hands were salaciously feeling her lower body. âWe have not done it on the sofa for a long time...â
It was crystal clear to Su Qingsang that Huo Jinyao had had too much to drink. She twisted his hands away from her body while heaving herself onto the edge of the sofa. âSit there and behave yourself.â
If Xiang Caiping were to witness what was happening when she entered the living room, the situation would be embarrassing and awkward.
âDear...â Huo Jinyao did not attempt to free his hands from Su Qingsangâs grip, but gazed at her pitifully.
Su Qingsang was on the verge of exasperation. Huo Jinyao stood at a formidable stature of more than six feet tall and he had the suave and dashing demeanor of a director.
He looked at her like she had scorned him, as if he were her daughter-in-law that she had abused.
âWe canât do it here.â Su Qingsang was a little irked and glanced in the direction of their bedroom. She lowered her voice and said barely audibly, âIf you want it, go and take a shower first. Iâll come to you after I am done with sorting these clothes out.â
Huo Jinyao blinked, seemingly comprehending Su Qingsang. He stood up and bowed purposefully. âYes, dear. Your wish is my command. Donât you worry.â
How could he claim to be sober? Heâs clearly drunk.
âHurry up and shower.â Su Qingsang did not have patience towards drunkards, especially when it was Huo Jinyao who was heavily intoxicated. She waved him off to hasten his retreat.
Huo Jinyao stopped in his tracks and spun around, grinning gleefully at Su Qingsang. âDear, guess who I went drinking with today?â
âWho did you go drinking with?â Regardless of who Huo Jinyao had been drinking with, the person had let him become extremely intoxicated.
âYour father.â
When Huo Jinyao spoke, he did not notice that Xiang Caiping was done showering and had entered the living room. She had happened to hear the last two words which Huo Jinyao uttered and stopped in her tracks.
