Su Yuxin had just stepped into the house when he heard the ongoing row.
âMom.â Thinking twice, he stepped forward and stood before Li Qianxue. âIâm back.â
âYuxin, youâre back? Thatâs great. Tomorrow is your sisterâs birthday party. Youâre here just in time, now help me pick which looks better from these two.â
Li Qianxue was about to head towards the direction of the coffee table, but Su Yuxin blocked her off. âMom. I think that what Dad said made sense.â
âYuxin, youââ
âMom, donât talk about Sister first. Su Qingsang is a member of this family and now her status is a little different. The respect weâre showing her is actually meant for Huo Jinyao and Tianyu Group. Donât you agree with me?â
Su Yuxin mightâve made a mistake when it came to relationships in the past, but as the successor to the Su family, he was very well aware of the happenings in the current market.
That included the party Tianyu Group held especially for Su Qingsang. Although he didnât attend it, somebody had told him about it.
On the one hand, he was happy for Su Qingsang, but on the other, he was worried about her. Could she adapt to the change of her newly acquired status fast enough?
This was an opportunity right in front of him. No matter what, he had to convince Li Qianxue.
âMom, donât be mad. Listen to what I have to say first.â
...
Su Qingsang didnât know that she was being targeted. Recently, she has been researching a topic with a tutor. In truth, she didnât just want to be a postgraduate student and continue living such a simple life working in the hospital.
If it were possible, she would like to continue her studies until she attained her Ph.D. It would be great if she could go abroad to study more and learn about newer technologies.
She got busier and busier. Huo Jinyao could hardly stand it.
A doctorâs schedule wasnât fixed in the first place â gynecology and obstetrics wasnât a line of work where oneâs time was at oneâs disposal.
Su Qingsang was frequently required to take the night shift, and it was needless to mention that accident cases also required her attention. As the husband of a doctor, Huo Jinyao was already at his limit.
Now, why would Su Qingsang even want to conduct research on some topic with her tutor?
Whenever she came home every day, she would first eat, then rush quickly into the study to search up information and case studies, completely tossing him â her husband â aside.
She would fall into a deep sleep after she was done, completely ignoring her frustrated spouse.
âMy wifeââ Su Qingsang has been parked in front of her computer for almost two hours already. She didnât notice Huo Jinyao who was standing in front of her at all.
âMy wifeââ Huo Jinyao called out again. Su Qingsang reacted as if she just realized that he was there.
âWait a moment. Let me finish reading this excerpt first.â
âMy wife.â Huo Jinyaoâs voice was laced with traces of frustration. Was he not more attractive than whatever Su Qingsang was looking at?
Thatâs not right. He looked into the mirror this morning when he woke up and found that he was still quite handsome, if he did say so himself.
âBe quiet.â Su Qingsang read on with full attention, completely ignoring Huo Jinyao.
Huo Jinyao touched his nose and counted to ten. Su Qingsang has been ignoring him for seven days already.
By the looks of it, he really had to do something about it.
He made his way to the back of the table and scooped Su Qingsang up. Su Qingsang gave out a low yelp. Her first reaction was to slap his shoulder.
âHuo Jinyao, what are you doing? My information isnât saved yet.â
âItâs fine, you wonât lose it.â Huo Jinyao proceeded to walk out with her in his arms.
âEnough!â Xiang Caiping was still around. Su Qingsang panicked. Huo Jinyao acted as if he hadnât heard a thing, carrying her straight to their room.
âYour mom has lived through this. Iâm sure she understands.â
âHuo Jinyao!â Su Qingsang couldnât scream. âIâll finish up right this instant, youââ
âDonât worry. I wonât take up much of your time.â Huo Jinyao proceeded to remove Su Qingsangâs clothes.
Out of the blue, Su Qingsangâs phone rang. Huo Jinyao wanted to ignore it, but Su Qingsang had already noticed the caller ID displayed on the screen.
Su Chenghui.
