Huo Jinyao sensed the emotion in her voice.
“Nothing.” Su Qingsang yawned. “There was a long road under construction on the way here. It took us four hours to get here, when it should have been only two and a half. Before we could settle down, there was a car accident and a lot of injured people were brought into the hospital where we are stationed. We all helped and, finally, I have some time now.”
“Sweetheart, you’ve worked too hard.” Huo Jinyao’s voice was as unserious as usual. “It’s a pity that I am not with you. I could give you a massage.”
“I don’t want a massage.” Every time he gave her a massage, it turned into something else halfway.
“You don’t want a massage? What should I do then?” He seemed to be worried. “I’m not with you now. I can’t help you when you’re tired.”
“You don’t need to do anything. I just wanted to tell you.” She was not really that tired. She had experienced more tiring things in her life. Strangely, however, she couldn’t help but want to talk to him when he was around. She wanted to listen to him comfort her and call her sweetheart in the voice she had become familiar with.
“Well, sweetheart,” Huo Jinyao said, coming up with an idea. “Let me give you a kiss and you will certainly feel more relaxed.”
“Huo Jinyao. You—”
Huo Jinyao kissed the phone with a smack. He felt it was not enough, so he gave it another two or three kisses after that.
“Sweetheart, do you feel my kisses of love?”
Su Qingsang blushed. Although she knew that Huo Jinyao could not see her through the phone, she could not help it. “Stop it now,” she said.
“You didn’t feel it? I’ll do it again.”
“Huo Jinyao.” Su Qingsang could not bear it any longer. “That’s enough. I’m going to have dinner.”
“At this time?” The Huo Family had dinner late because Huo Mingguang and Liu Tongjia had come back late. Why was Su Qingsang eating so late?
“Well, we can’t help it. We have been busy until now.” Before going to dinner, she thought of Huo Jinyao’s words. He had asked her to give him a call when she arrived. She had been so busy working with the other doctors that she hadn’t had the time to call him until now.
“Go quickly then, sweetheart. If you don’t eat well, I will be worried.”
“Flattery.”
“Why would I need to flatter you?” Huo Jinyao retorted with a serious voice, “Whatever, I will check in when you are back. If you don’t take good care of yourself and end up thinner or lighter, I’ll punish you.”
“How do you want to punish me?” Su Qingsang did not believe he would dare do anything to her.
“How do you think I will punish you? Huo Jinyao smiled in a strange way and spit out two words.
Su Qingsang’s face became redder. “I don’t want to talk with you now. I’m gonna hang up.”
“Sweetheart.” Huo Jinyao called to her and said, “You seem to have forgotten something?”
“What?”
“What do you think?” Huo Jinyao did not mind reminding her. “I have sent you so many kisses of love. You would just hang up on me?”
Su Qingsang was defeated and kissed the phone.
Huo Jinyao was satisfied and let her go at last. He hung up the phone and turned around, only to find Huo Mingguang was standing behind him.
Being overheard by him did not embarrass Huo Jinyao at all. He headed directly for the dining room. Huo Mingguang blocked his way and stared at him with a serious expression.
“Are you serious about this woman?”
