She had been born out of wedlock and Su Chenghui had married Li Qianxue. Should he have been overtly good to her instead of neglecting her?
If he had been, maybe she would have been in a more awkward position in the Su Family. She probably would not have been able to bear Li Qianxueâs hatred or Su Peizhenâs and her brotherâs bullying.
âI donât think your mother overreacted today. I think your father was acting weirdly today.â
The sentiments they had witnessed were not those of lovers who had met after a long separation. Huo Jinyao felt something weird as he recalled Su Chenghuiâs behavior today, but he could not figure out what was wrong.
âWhat was weird?â Su Qingsang had not noticed. She and Su Chenghui had never been close anyway. âHe hasnât seen my mother for decades and now they suddenly meet. Wasnât it normal to be thrilled?â
He shouldnât have been as thrilled as he was. Although Huo Jinyao was young, he had had dealings with various people over the years. He could tell the look in Su Chenghuiâs eyes.
âWhat do you think was wrong?â Su Qingsang hadnât figured it out after thinking for quite a while.
âAll right. Maybe Iâm thinking too much.â He had been in the business world every day, seeing schemes and intrigues of all kinds. He might have seen something that wasnât there.
âYou were thinking too much,â said Su Qingsang. Then, her face suddenly changed. âIâm actually a little worried now.â
âWorried about what?â
âI thought my dad would never find out that my mom was back. Now, he just met her face-to-face. Seeing his behavior today, I think he might make some trouble. The peace in the Su Family of the last few decades is about to be disturbed.â
With that, her life might become chaotic. Su Qingsang didnât like this feeling.
âWhatâs there to worry about?â Huo Jinyao pulled her body into his arms and said, âWhen it happens, I will take you and Mom back to Rong City. If youâre not in Lin City, they wonât bother you.â
Su Qingsang looked at him and seriously considered the feasibility of his words. âThat might work fine. My mother is used to staying in Rong City anyway. I think it will be easy for her to settle down there.â
âSweetheart.â Huo Jinyao suddenly put his hand to his chest. âMy heart hurts,â he said.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â Su Qingsang became a little nervous as his face changed. âAre you all right?â
âMy heart is really breaking. Iâve asked you so many times to go to Rong City with me, but you refused every time. Now, youâre willing to take your mother there. Sweetheart, do you really think so badly of me?â
âIs it really the same thing?â
Su Qingsang was speechless.
âWhy isnât it?â Huo Jinyao circled her waist and said, âAnyway, I am hurt. You must make it up to me.â
âHow do you want me to make it up to you?â Su Qingsang looked at him and knew he was going to make some âexcessiveâ demands.
âCome on, come out with me.â
As he spoke, he suddenly took her hand and started dragging her out.
âNow?â It was almost eleven oâclock.
âCome on.â Giving her no chance to refuse, Huo Jinyao dragged her out the door.
Su Qingsang did not know what he was up to but still followed him. They went downstairs and walked across the road to a park on the other side of the community.
Su Qingsang had come here once before. What did Huo Jinyao want to do here in the middle of the night?
âHuo Jinyaoââ
âWeâre nearly there. Be patient.â
