“I…” Huo Jinyao blinked, took her hand with a smile, and said, “I have another big order in hand which might bring me a really big bonus if I successfully get it. Don’t buy a car right now. Wait for me to get the bonus and I will buy it, okay?”
“If the bonus is enough to afford a car, what kind of order is it?”
The more he explained, the more Su Qingsang doubted it. Although she was a doctor, the Su and Li families were not. What kind of order could help him afford a car?
“Not a too expensive car, you know. We can just buy a cheaper one,” Huo Jinyao said.
“For example?”
“Like…” Huo Jinyao casually named a car he had just seen on a mobile advertising page.
“That will also cost over a hundred thousand, probably?” Su Qingsang turned to look at him, skepticism across her face. “Forget about the car now. Can you tell me what the order is?”
“Just an ordinary one.” Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang’s inquiring face and abruptly said, “Ah, I haven’t had dinner yet. I’m so hungry that I have a stomach ache now.”
Su Qingsang stared at his face, suspecting that he was deliberately changing the subject, but she could not help but really show some concern.
“Stomachache? Where? Do you need to take some medicine?”
“No. I’ll be better if you just cook noodles for me.” Huo Jinyao rubbed his stomach and said, “I’m starving.”
Seeing such a big man like him talk with such a tone and expression, Su Qingsang did not know what to say, but sighed helplessly and went to the kitchen to cook noodles for him. It seemed that she always had no way to deal with Huo Jinyao.
Seeing her leave, Huo Jinyao expression turned more subtle.
After dinner, Huo Jinyao asked Su Qingsang not to do the dishes. “Your hands are so beautiful; they’ll become rough if you do the dishes. Tomorrow I’ll get someone to come over and do it.”
“An hourly worker?”
“Right. Just cooking and cleaning for us. Aren’t you happy?”
That was not Su Qingsang’s point. What she wanted to say was But that’ll cost money. You’re gonna buy a car and hire an hourly worker? What kind of order on Earth are you dealing with?
“…” Looking at Su Qingsang’s unfoolable face, Huo Jinyao suddenly realized that it was not always a good thing to marry a wife who was too smart.
“Uh-huh?” Su Qingsang asked again.
Huo Jinyao blinked suddenly and said, “Well, sweetheart…”
“I’m listening.”
“Has your period ended?” Huo Jinyao sat upright and glued himself to Su Qingsang. “It’s been days, hasn’t it? It has ended, I suppose?”
The feeling of being targeted by a large dog came again, making Su Qingsang forget what she was going to say for a moment. “No.”
“Oh?” Huo Jinyao’s face crumbled, but soon his eyes lit up again. “Then, I want to borrow…”
“I’m sleepy. Goodnight.” Su Qingsang did not bother to ask him what the project was but thought that it would be better to turn over and sleep for now.
“Sweetheart, I really just want to borrow it for only a while.
“Sweetheart.
“Sweetheart…”
Su Qingsang closed her eyes and ignored him. The feeling that something was wrong came again, but she ignored it.
…
“Mr. Huo, I wonder what you think of the plan I gave you last time?” He Xuanyao looked at Huo Jinyao, a subtle smile on her face that emitted confidence.
“I’ve read it.” Sitting behind the desk, Huo Jinyao was rather indifferent compared to her.
“And?”
“No.” Huo Jinyao took out the plan and pushed it back to He Xuanyao. “It’s not very satisfying. I don’t think it reflects the level your company had in the past.”
