Su Qingsang didnât see Huo Jinyao because she was standing with her back to the door. She couldnât believe that Grandpa Li would use her as a marriage tool to unite with other families. She stood there, not knowing what to say.
Grandpa Li, however, noticed Huo Jinyao, for he looked quite familiar. He couldnât remember where they had met before, though.
Grandpa Qiu also noticed him. He was thinner than Grandpa Li but was similarly energetic. Grandpa Li went to Grandpa Qiu and asked,
âWhoâs that young man?â
âLooks familiar, but I donât remember where Iâve met him.â
When he came closer, Su Qingsang was shocked to see him.
Why is he here all of a sudden? Isnât he on a business trip all week?
Li Qianxue, Su Chenghui, and Su Peizhen all stared at Huo Jinyao.
Huo Jinyao walked straight towards Su Qingsang and hugged her without looking at anybody else.
âHoney, Iâm back.â
Being held in Huo Jinyaoâs arms in public left Su Qingsang dumbfounded.
She was making eye contact with the members of Su Family, Li Family, and Qiu Family, which made her feel more awkward. âYou...â
âI missed you so much,â Huo Jinyao uttered, kissing Su Qingsangâs face aggressively. âDid you miss me?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
No, not at all. How could you ask that? You havenât called or texted me for these days, How dare you say that? No one could trust you.
âYou didnât miss me? Oh, I feel so heartbroken.â
He covered his heart with his hands with a heartbroken expression: âQingsang, I feel so heartbroken.â
âCome on.â
He didnât speak out loud. But with everybody looking at them, his words were heard clearly.
Su Qingsang pulled on his arms. âThe elders are here.â
It seemed that Huo Jinyao only just noticed others were present. He was not embarrassed at all.
He waved and said, âSorry, sorry, absence makes the heart grow fonder. You understand, right?â
Li Qianxueâs mouth twitched a bit. Su Chenghui was also confused.
This man is so weird. He thought.
âHuo Jinyao.â Su Qingsang said his name and introduced him to the family he hadnât met yet.
Huo Jinyao greeted the elder family members, not shy at all.
âMr. Li, Mr. Qiu, I am Huo Jinyao. â
After greeting everybody, he pulled out a little box from his pocket. âI heard that itâs your birthday today. Happy birthday.â
âThanks.â Qiu Yanbo took over the present, âIt means a lot.â
Grandpa Qiu looked at this imposing man and then looked at Qiu Yanbo, realizing that he was Su Qingsangâs husband. Why did he look so familiar?
Suddenly, something came across Grandpa Chouâs mind.
âYou look familiar. Are you related to the Huo family in Rong City?â
Hearing about the Huo family in Rong City, Grandpa Li also remembered. They both looked at Huo Jinyao. Su Qingsang was nervous.
Huo Jinyao is just a normal person. How can he be involved with the Huo Family in Rong City? The Huo Family is so eminent that even I, an illegitimate daughter of Su Family, know of them.
Hearing that, Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui stared at Huo Jinyao. The Huo Family in Rong City? How could it be?
He lifted his eyebrows. Seeing them stare at him like he was a monkey, he looked confused.
He seemed to have no idea what they are talking about, âThe Huo Family in Rong City? Iâve never heard of them.â
