Huo Jinyaoâs hand, which was placed on her waist, tensed slightly. He was behind her, so she couldnât see his expression.
âThe company?â
âYeah. What did you do while you were on your business trip? You said that the contract was all set. What aspect of it is being difficult now?â
She turned her face to look at Huo Jinyao. Su Qingsang realized that she was Huo Jinyaoâs other half. That meant she should know what he did, right?
Huo Jinyao held her tightly, kissed her cheek, and replied, âYouâre still going to pretend that you donât care about me? Youâre even starting to worry about my work.â
âHuo Jinyao.â He tries to steer the direction of the conversation away from work. Su Qingsang was starting to feel like something was off. âDonât change the subject.â
She wasnât worried about it. She just wanted to ask to make things clear. She would have to make small talk with the Li family and people from the Su family in the future. She didnât want to be clueless about his work when the time came.
She didnât care what he did as long as he had a decent, not shameful job.
âThe thing isâ¦â Huo Jinyao rubbed his nose and continued, âItâs not that I donât want to tell you, but Iâm new and the company I work for is a small one, soâ¦â
âIt doesnât matter if itâs a small company. What type of company is it?â
âItâs just a trading company.â Huo Jinyao nodded and continued, âA very small trading company. There are only a few people working there including me. Thatâs why I had to go with the boss for that business trip.â
Su Qingsang stared into his eyes as if she was trying to make sure he was telling the truth.
Huo Jinyaoâs eyes were black and bright. The only thing she could see was her own reflection.
Su Qingsang suddenly couldnât remember what she had wanted to say.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Her expression hinted at her suspicion. Huo Jinyao blew out of his nose awkwardly. âIt really is a very small company. Itâs too small. Iâm embarrassed to talk about it.â
âThatâs alright.â
Su Qingsang realized that Huo Jinyao had dazed her. That wasnât a good sign.
âItâs fine that the company is small. Do your job well. Everyone has to start small.â
âWife, youâre so great.â Huo Jinyao kissed her on the cheek again and said, âDonât worry, I will definitely work hard.â
She scrunched her forehead as she stared at his pleased face.

The next day, Sunday, Huo Jinyao woke Su Qingsang up early in the morning.
She was very sleepy, pushed Huo Jinyaoâs hand away, and tried to go back to sleep. âDonât play now, Iâm very sleepy.â
She had played with her for the whole night before, and they had played for half the night last night as well. She was still sleepy and didnât want to wake up.
âThe weather is so nice today. Letâs go out.â
Huo Jinyao was very excited, so he pulled on Su Qingsangâs hand again.
Su Qingsang was angry now. âHuo Jinyao, are you done fooling around?â
She hadnât slept well all last week because she had been working night shifts. Recently, she had had Huo Jinyao to keep her awake. Su Qingsang continued gloomily, âStop.â
Huo Jinyao hadnât thought that Su Qingsang would have such a bad attitude in the morning. He was temporarily startled.
Su Qingsang didnât want to be bothered. She turned over and went back to sleep. Huo Jinyao stared at her back, and finally tiptoed out the room.
She slept deeper than she had before. When she woke up, she felt someone holding her hand.
Su Qingsang was about to retract her hand instinctually, when she realized the hand was different.
She opened her eyes and a brilliant light in front of her eyes woke her up at once.
