âHuo Jinyao.â
Su Qingsang wasnât very pleased with his tone of voice. Even though they were married, she was still an independent person.
âWife...â
âHuo Jinyao, donât be like this.â
Su Qingsang wanted to say more but saw that there were other people around. She gave him a helpless look and got in the car.
Huo Jinyao followed very closely behind her and got in the car as well.
âWife...â
âLetâs get home first. Weâll talk more after we get there.â
This really isnât a good place to talk, she thought.
The restaurant wasnât far from Su Qingsangâs apartment. The two were back in their apartment after half an hour.
Su Qingsang went into the kitchen and poured water for Huo Jinyao and herself. She came out and placed a cup of water in front of Huo Jinyao, then sat down across from him.
âHuo Jinyao.â
âWife, speak your mind.â Huo Jinyao sat up straight and looked as if he were all ears.
Su Qingsang couldnât express her anger. It was a headache for her when she faced Huo Jinyaoâs shameless attitude.
âDonât you know? Even though we are married, I still want to keep a part of myself.â
âWife...â
âListen to me finish first.â Su Qingsang had been feeling this way for a long time. Huo Jinyao entered her life too hastily.
She had not had time to prepare at all. The two had gotten married right away and now theyâd reached the final stage.
She wasnât used to this type of sudden intimate relationship.
âHuo Jinyao, I know that youâre a good person.â He had agreed to help her and had been very good to her.
âBut I think that our relationship is developing too fast. I hope we can...â
âToo fast?â
âYou...â
âThink about it. We are already married. You see, in fantasies, the prince and princess get married and thatâs the end. We rushed to the end at the very beginning and skipped many steps. Shouldnât we hurry and make up for the what we missed?â
Su Qingsang was speechless and stared at him dumbfounded.
âTherefore, we should grab hold of this time to get to know each other and be in love. That makes more sense, right?â
Su Qingsang didnât know what to say as she faced this kind of logic. âThatâs not what I meant.â
âI know.â Huo Jinyaoâs expression changed to a crestfallen one. âWere you annoyed by my attitude just now?â
âI was not annoyed. I only...â
âI am only a bit unhappy. I didnât mean to point fault at you.â
Huo Jinyao walked up to her and grabbed her hand.
âThink about it. We are already married, but you donât even tell me about hanging out with your friends. That obviously means you see me as an outsider. That doesnât make me happy.â
âHuo Jinyao, I...â
âI understand, donât worry. I will try to control this type of unhappiness in the future. But you have to promise to call me when youâre hanging out with your friends, alright?â
âThis isnât even...â
âDonât worry. I donât have bad eating habits and I donât smack my lips. I can even pay the check for you when you bring me along. How great is that?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHow is it...â
âSo itâs decided,â Huo Jinyao concluded. âCall me next time youâre eating with your friends. I will call you if I have a gathering with my coworkers. Thatâs very fair, isnât it?â
How is that fair? This wasnât what I meant at all.
âHuo Jinyao, I meant...â
âAlright, wife. Iâm starving. I havenât even eaten yet. Iâm going to go take a shower first. Please order takeout for me.â
âHuo...â
âOr you could also help me make a bowl of noodles. I canât bear to let you work, though. Itâs better to call takeout.â
Huo Jinyao kissed her on the cheek and left her speechless.
Su Qingsang watched Huo Jinyao enter the bedroom in big strides and felt her headache coming along again.
