If the Su Family and the Li Family learned that Qiu Yanbo broke off his engagement with Su Peizhen because of her, the aftermath would be a mess.
Although it was not her fault, she was the cause.
“Sister? Can you hear me? Sister?” Su Yuxin asked over the phone.
“I am fine.” Su Qingsang shook her head. She had no idea what she could do.
She hoped that Qiu Yanbo would not go crazy.
“Okay, I will come to see you in a few days when I have the time,” Su Yuxin said.
“Alright,” Su Qingsang replied. Su Qingsang was quite willing to see Su Yuxin. She added, “You should comfort your sister and encourage her to be optimistic. She is so good that she can definitely find someone else better.”
“I know, but I cannot stay home every day, so the job of comforting her falls on my mother,” Su Yuxin said.
Su Qingsang hung up the phone and found Huo Jinyao was looking at her. Her expression couldn’t escape his notice.
“What happened?” Huo Jinyao asked.
“Nothing,” Su Qingsang replied and looked at Huo Jinyao. She didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t tell him that Qiu Yanbo broke off his engagement with Su Peizhen because of her.
For one thing, it might seem like she was bragging. It would be such a narcissistic thing to say.
For another, no husband would like to hear this kind of thing. Huo Jinyao was no exception.
“You and I are a couple. Is there anything that we can’t tell each other?” Huo Jinyao asked.
Huo Jinyao turned off his computer and filed his documents. Then, he moved towards her.
“Look, your frown is so intense. How could it be nothing?” Huo Jinyao asked.
“Qiu Yanbo broke his engagement with Su Peizhen,” Su Qingsang replied.
Finally, the truth came out. “I don’t know whether or not he did that for me. But if he did, I will feel–”
“It is not about you. It is about Qiu Yanbo himself,” Huo Jinyao said.
Huo Jinyao interrupted her because he didn’t want her to blame herself. “He is not a child and should learn to take responsibility for his own behavior. He must have thoroughly considered all his options before making up his mind.”
“But–” Su Qingsang started.
“If he really loved Su Peizhen, they would be together instead of this whole mess happening,” Huo Jinyao interrupted her again.
Su Qingsang knew that was true. Still, the worry still occupied her mind, “I hope my father and my aunt will not…”
“Don’t worry.” Holding her in his arms, Huo Jinyao said, “I will never let them hurt you.”
“I don’t think they will hurt me. I just don’t want to be involved in such a ridiculous issue,” Su Qingsang explained.
“Yes, I agree.” Kissing her on her forehead, Huo Jinyao said, “You are my wife now. Qiu Yanbo is so disgusting.”
Su Qingsang didn’t know what to say. “Although he is quite annoying, there is no denying that he did save my life this time. I hope that he only did it on impulse.”
“You think he did it on impulse? I think he did it with concealed intentions.” Huo Jinyao sneered and said, “He just went to them and broke off his engagement with Su Peizhen. On the surface, it looks like he did it for you. In fact, he did it just for himself.”
Su Qingsang cast him a confusing look. He continued to explain, “Think about it. He told you that he liked you and had an affection on you. Later, he broke off his engagement with Su Peizhen. Now, he can say that he did it because of you. What can you do then?
“You have gotten married, so you can’t accept him. His deed will result in nothing but you blaming yourself, feeling guilty, and feeling sorry for him.” Huo Jinyao said.
“If you hadn’t got married, his movement would have thrown you into the dilemma as well,” Huo Jinyao added.
“Think about it. Isn’t that the case?” Huo Jinyao asked.
Su Qingsang could not think of anything to dispute what Huo Jinyao said. She shook her head and said, “I get your point, but the person I’m worried about isn’t Qiu Yanbo.”
