Chapter 75: Sheâs Probably Overthinking
Huo Jinyao only noticed Su Qingsangâs hesitation after he had started to walk away. He turned around to look at her. âWhatâs wrong?â
Su Qingsang shook her head and tried to take the ring off, but Huo Jinyao put it back on her finger again.
âWhatâs wrong? You donât like it?â
âItâs not that.â Su Qingsang stared at Huo Jinyaoâs face, wondering what to say. âI just think that this is too much. How could you buy me such a big ring? You didnât even think about how pretentious it would be to wear it.â
It was too ostentatious whether or not it was real or fake.
Huo Jinyao scratched his head. âDonât women like big rings? I thought the brighter it was the better?â
Itâs not easy to find such a big pink diamond like this, let alone one with such clarity. She actually doesnât like it? Huo Jinyao thought to himself. âSays who?â He asked her.
Su Qingsang didnât want to keep arguing with him. âItâs fine. I understand your intentions. Let me put it this away. it really isnât suitable.â
Huo Jinyao watched as Su Qingsang put the ring, which he had spent a lot of money on and had gotten customized from Paris, into a drawer of the vanity.
His lips twitched and he said, âWifeâ¦â
âAlright, letâs go eat.â
âWifeâ¦â Huo Jinyao grabbed her hand and had a sad expression on his face. âAre you sure you donât despise the fact that I bought a fake one?â
Su Qingsangâs temple twitched. Itâs too crazy to think that Huo Jinyao had another identity, She thought to herself.
Huo Jinyao looked sad. He looked like a big, sad golden retriever to her.
âIt really isnât that.â
Huo Jinyao still appeared to be upset. Su Qingsang didnât like to see him like this, so she stepped out of the room after glaring at him.
After dinner, Huo Jinyao tried to drag Su Qingsang out for a walk, but she didnât want to move.
âYou can either take a walk with me, or you can put the ring on.â
Huo Jinyao was starting to fool around again and Su Qingsang almost laughed out of anger. How can he be like this? She thought.
âIâve already said it. The ring is too big. It draws too much attention to me when I wear it.â
Even though itâs a fake. It is still too ostentatious, alright? She thought.
âThen come take a walk with me.â Huo Jinyao grasped her hand. âWeâve been married for so long and we still havenât had a walk together.â
The corner of Su Qingsangâs mouth twitched and Huo Jinyao shuffled her out the door.
Her apartment was pretty close to the center of the city. The two of them got dinner and walked to the street of the nearby neighborhood while holding hands.
There was a park to their left and a big supermarket to their right.
Although Su Qingsang had moved here a while ago, she hadnât walked around this area before.
She became a little excited as Huo Jinyao dragged her along.
âQingsang, this piece looks pretty nice. Go try it on.â
The two were walking past the window of a boutique when Huo Jinyao paused and pointed at a dress inside. He looked at Su Qingsang.
âNo need. I have clothes.â She didnât really care about what she wore or what she ate.
âJust try it.â Huo Jinyao pulled her into the shop. âI think it would look really nice on you.â
Su Qingsang glanced at the logo on the front of the store and looked back at Huo Jinyao.
âCome on. Try it on.â He insisted.
She couldnât help but to go in to try on the dress.
It was a black lace dress. Su Qingsangâs appearance was more on the fair and gentle-looking side. She really didnât think that such a sexy dress would suit her.
Huo Jinyao was persistent, so she couldnât help but to go try it on.
Huo Jinyao was waiting outside and he stood up when she came out of the dressing room.
The black gave her a mysterious vibe and the lace was sexy. Su Qingsang looked totally different.
âThis will do.â Huo Jinyaoâs showed his admiration.
Su Qingsang awkwardly spun around and looked at Huo Jinyao in the mirror. âDoes it really look pretty?â
The dress was tight and she wasnât used to that.
âIt looks very nice.â The salesclerk agreed with Huo Jinyao.
He handed Su Qingsang another dress and said, âGo try this one on too.â
âThereâs no need, right?â That dress was red and Su Qingsang didnât like to wear anything too flamboyant.
âJust try it. It doesnât cost money to try it on.â
Huo Jinyaoâs cell phone rang as he was speaking, and his expression changed slightly when he glanced at it.
