“I told you, I thought if Junsheng was there they wouldn’t…” Looking at the scorn in Su Qingsang’s eyes, Huo Jingyao reached out and grabbed her hands. “Wife, I swear to god I did not betray you. I’m a victim too.”
“You’re a victim? Why do I feel like you’re enjoying this?”
If he was a victim, would he have cooperated with them? She thought they must have worked quite well together.
“Absolutely not.” When Huo Jinyao spoke again he began to act carelessly. He pulled her into his arms. “I was only passionate because I thought that person was you. I wouldn’t have responded to any other women, so you…”
“Huo Jinyao.” Su Qingsang couldn’t listen anymore. What the hell was he saying? “Shut up.”
Huo Jinyao zipped his mouth shut, but he was unsatisfied and moved his face closer to her again. “Wife, please, just believe me right now!”
Su Qingsang remained silent. She turned her face away and ignored him. Huo Jinyao began to shake her arm like a child.
“Alright. Wife, I promise, this will never happen again.”
“Would you want it to?”
“Of course not.” Huo Jinyao quickly raised three fingers and swore, “This is the last time.”
Su Qingsang had already begun to believe him when she saw his reaction. She was just messing with him. Considering how drunk he had gotten last night, no way he could have called out He Xuanyao’s name.
He still needed to learn a lesson. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know where he had gone wrong.
Su Qingsang suddenly froze and Huo Jinyao felt the tension.
“Wife…” She’s not bringing it up again, is she?
Su Qingsang tilted her head and looked at him. She had to admit that Huo Jinyao was very handsome. Was there more to this handsome face?
“That was He Xuanyao yesterday, wasn’t it? She told me something.”
“What?” Huo Jinyao put his guard up, unsure of what Su QInsaang was about to tell him.
“She said you were just playing with me. She said you couldn’t like someone like me. She also said-”
“Wife, she was talking nonsense.”
“But she told me I wasn’t good enough for you, that your family would never let you marry an illegitimate child.”
“Wife.” The expression on Huo Jinyao’s face changed.
Su Qingsang continued. “Huo Jinyao, I’m curious. What is your family like. Who are you exactly?”
The atmosphere in the room changed. Everything was dead silent.
Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang. She was calm and her eyes were full of tranquility. Su Qingsang had always been a smart person, he knew that.
She just never cared about arguing with others. That did not make her stupid.
“I-” Huo Jinyao seemed to be thinking about what he was going to say. “Wife, I can explain.”
“Uh huh. Go ahead.”
“I-”
“You are actually hiding something from me, aren’t you?”
“No.” Huo Jinyao waved his hand quickly. “I’m just -”
The doorbell rang, Huo Jinxiao jumped off the bed, as if he has just been spared his life. He quickly threw on a bathrobe and opened the door.
Su Qingsang curled up under the blanket. She obviously could not let others see her like this.
The room service was bringing clothes for Huo Jinyao. Now, they also needed to bring some clothes for Su Qingsang.
After they had their clothes delivered, Huo Jinyao returned back to the room. Su Qingsang was already sitting up, waiting for his explanation.
“Wife, if I tell you, you have to promise me you won’t be angry.”
“Okay, I won’t be mad.”
