Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang’s face and cleared his throat. “My family is indeed not too badly off.”
“How good is not bad?”
“We’re a little rich.”
“And?” It could not be as simple as a little rich, could it?
“I had a quarrel with my family before I left. Then, I met you.” Fearing that Su Qingsang would not believe him, Huo Jinyao took her hand again and said, “I have nothing to do with my family now.”
“That’s it?” Is that all?
“That’s it.” Huo Jinyao nodded vigorously, afraid that she would not believe him.
“Did you have a serious quarrel with your family?”
“Yes.” Huo Jinyao nodded intently. “It was a very severe altercation. Now, I’ve broken away from my family and am starting over. That was why I didn’t tell you.”
Su Qingsang did not speak and Huo Jinyao could not tell whether she was angry or not. He looked at her carefully, “Sweetheart, you’re not angry, are you?”
“So, you’ve broken away from your family and have been living here all by yourself?”
“Yes.” Huo Jinyao nodded. “So, you see, sweetheart, I am really miserable.”
Miserable? How? Su Qingsang almost laughed out. She was speechless. With his personality, how could he let himself become miserable?
“You’re not the only child in your family, are you?” If he was, then his running away was not good for his family.
“I’m not.” Huo Jinyao’s voice was very light. If Su Qingsang had looked at him closely, she would have found that something had changed in Huo Jinyao’s eyes.
“There is nothing else that you’re hiding from me, is there?” Su Qingsang looked at him suspiciously. Why did she still feel something was still wrong?
“No, I promise.” Huo Jinyao held up three fingers. Behind him, where Su Qingsang could not see, he crossed the fingers on his other hand.
Su Qingsang wanted to ask more, but her phone rang. She answered it and was told that there was an emergency at the hospital now.
“I’m going back to work.” She was supposed to have been working the night shift that day. Su Qingsang quickly got out of bed but fell forward because of her soft feet. Huo Jinyao helped her up quickly.
“Don’t go to work if you’re tired.”
“Ha.” Su Qingsang sneered. “Thanks to someone.”
“Me.” Huo Jinyao’s momentum was weakened again.
“You know it, huh?” Su Qingsang thought of something and added, “Don’t drink anymore.”
“Yes, Madam.” Huo Jinyao raised his hand and saluted. “I promise I won’t drink anymore. I will listen to my sweetheart.”
His unserious face gave Su Qingsang a headache. If she had had to parent Huo Jinyao with his roguish character, she probably would have thrown him out of the house.
A bit later, Huo Jinyao’s car stopped at the gate of the hospital and Su Qingsang got out of the car in a hurry.
“Sweetheart—” Huo Jinyao looked at her. A bit of hesitation flashed through his eyes.
“What?” Su Qingsang was anxious to get into the hospital and ignored Huo Jinyao’s look of hesitation.
“Nothing, it’s just you haven’t given me a goodbye kiss.” Huo Jinyao grinned again and resumed his insincere expression.
This guy is really good at leaving people speechless.
Su Qingsang rolled her eyes, ignored him, and went directly into the hospital.
Watching her walk away, Huo Jinyao did not hurry to start the car; instead, he took out his cell.
He pressed a few numbers and gave orders coldly to the person on the other end of the line. “It’s me. Terminate all cooperation with the He’s Group, now.”
His eyes were dark and cold. If Su Qingsang had been there, she would have thought that he was another person, not the Huo Jinyao who always clowned around in front of her.
