That was the only time she saw anything like it, and after that, she left quietly. She had also secretly observed the interactions between Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue a few times.
She discovered that in the presence of Old Master Li, Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue pretended to be a couple respectful of each other. However, in private, they were cold and snubbing towards each other.
The extent of their frosty relationship caused her to begin to doubt what she had seen that day. She also considered the possibility that Su Chenghui demonstrated concern for Li Qianxue because he had not had his fill of torturing her; therefore he would not allow her to die just yet.
“So what do you think? Does my father love Auntie or not?”
“Are you trying to say that your father is a jerk benefitting from his current relationship, but holding on to the memories of his past love?”
Huo Jinyao rubbed his chin as he made this analysis. Su Qingsang gritted her teeth and poked him in the chest.
“What are you talking about?” She indeed felt that Su Chenghui was not a good man. However, listening to Huo Jinyao’s harsh criticism of her own father, she felt a strange irritation.
“Don’t speak about my father in this manner.” It would not be wise for Su Chenghui to know about this. Su Qingsang looked sideways at Huo Jinyao, a look of amusement in her eyes. “So this is how a jerk behaves? Aren’t men this way? Having a relationship with someone but thinking about someone else?”
“Don’t malign me!” Huo Jinyao looked wounded. “I am not the type of person you are referring to.”
“You’re not a man?”
“Dear,” Huo Jinyao became serious, but there was a gleam of humor in his eyes. ” If you are in doubt whether I am a man or not, I can make it clear to you tonight.”
Su Qingsang immediately turned crimson. His words turned her speechless. “Fine, let’s head back to the apartment.”
“Don’t worry, dear.” Huo Jinyao remained where he stood and pulled her into his embrace. “I’m a person with a narrow heart, and it only has room for you.”
Su Qingsang met his eyes with a steady gaze. Under the night-lights, Huo Jinyao’s eyes shone like two stars in the sky. They only reflected her presence.
She felt as if Huo Jinyao had given her heart a hard flick; it was palpitating wildly without control.
“Dear, I’m speaking the truth.”
Su Qingsang could feel an intense burning sensation in her cheeks. It was not the first time she had heard Huo Jinyao’s professions of love, but it was the first time they had caused such an immense impact on her emotions.
She looked down and nodded absent-mindedly. “I believe you.”
“What about you?” Huo Jinyao lifted her chin so that she was looking at him. “What about your heart?”
“My heart…” Before meeting Huo Jinyao, Su Qingsang did not comprehend true love between a man and a woman. She used to have a crush on a senior during high school, but they ended up in different universities and that severed any potential relationship with each other.
She was busy studying at the university and did not have the time to fall in love. Getting involved with Wei Lenan was just to dispense with Su Family and give her the hope of a different home, so that did not count.
Staring at Huo Jinyao’s eyes at this moment, she subconsciously nodded. “My heart is very narrow too.”
With Huo Jinyao in it, there would be no place for anyone else. And at this moment, she was trying her best to make room for Huo Jinyao.
Huo Jinyao smiled; the upturned corners of his mouth made him look handsome and uninhibited. He lowered his head to kiss Su Qingsang on her lips. Su Qingsang felt her legs turn weak and placed both her hands on his shoulders for support.
Her response lit a fire in his eyes, and when he was about to deepen the kiss, there was a sudden meowing, and a stray cat scurried out of a bush.
Su Qingsang had a shock when she realized that she was sharing a kiss with Huo Jinyao in the park in her neighborhood.
Fortunately, there was no one else around them, or it would be too embarrassing.
“Let’s head back.” She also wanted to see how the talk between Su Chenghui and Xiang Caiping was coming along.
