Everyone left at the table looked at each other and fell silent.
Huo Mingguang looked at his father somewhat reluctantly and said, “Father, you don’t need to say that. Who would dare to do something to her? Don’t you see that Jinyao protects her really well?”
“That’s what he should do. Shouldn’t a man protect his wife? If he can’t protect his wife well, can he be counted on for important matters?”
Saying this, Old Master Huo stood up and was about to go upstairs for a rest. He cast a look at Liu Tongjia before leaving.
“Tongjia, I know you dearly want Jinyao to marry Ruoli. Now, however, he is married to Su Qingsang, so you’d better let it go. You are so stubborn on some matters. Anyway, Jinyao is your son. You two should be more compatible than fire and ice,” Old Master Huo said.
It was the first time that Old Master Huo had talked to her in this way. Suddenly, Liu Tongjia’s face clouded.
Looking at the expression on his wife, Huo Mingguang wanted to say something but ended up staying silent.
The members of the other two families all wore different expressions. Without exception, they all seemed to enjoy the drama.
Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao had no idea what had happened when they left.
Rong City was located in the north of the country. At the time, it was rather cold. The cold here was totally different from that of the south.
When Su Qingsang stepped outside, she staggered a bit because of the chilly air. Huo Jinyao offered her a hand, with a smile on his face.
“What?Are you too scared to stand firmly on your feet?” Huo Jinyao asked.
“Who is scared?” Su Qingsand got herself stable and looked down. “Don’t you see? There are steps and I didn’t take notice of them before.”
“I see.” Huo Jinyao pulled her hand, “I thought you were so scared that your legs went weak. Now you can calm down.”
“You are the one who is weak. I’m so steady I could even dissect a cadaver.” It’s impossible for me to be scared off by a little cold.
Huo Jinyao put his arm around her shoulders. “Ok, my wife is pretty and brave. I am so lucky to have married you.”
He’s doing this again. Su Qingsang couldn’t put up with him and said, “Stop it.”
“Come on, let’s go. I’ll guide you. Where do you wanna go?” Huo Jinyao asked.
“Wherever. I’m unfamiliar with the city,” Su Qingsang uttered.
“Rong City used to be prosperous. There was an ancient town not far away from here. I can show you around. What do you think?”
“It’s your call,” Su Qingsang said.
Now that they were in his hometown, she would listen to him.
Huo Jinyao drove her to the famous ancient town in Rong City.
It was built by the Ming Dynasty. It was still well preserved after so many years.
Su Qingsang did enjoy places like this. She thought it was kind of fun. It was not a small town but the two of them finished the tour in one afternoon.
After they left, Huo Jinyao offered to take her to dinner.
He suggested the local cuisine of Rong City. People in Lin City preferred spicy food, but people in Rong City didn’t cook the meals in a spicy way. It was still good to have a taste of the local cuisine, though.
After the dinner, it went dark. Su Qingsang assumed that Huo Jinyao would take her home. He said, however, that he had made some arrangements.
She followed him. They hung around the night market. It was not as boisterous as it was in southern cities but it had its own characteristics.
It was about nine o’clock. Su Qingsang thought they were going home, but Huo Jinyao took her to another place.
She looked up at it and figured it had to be a club.
Huo Jinyao showed her in, familiar with the place. They went upstairs and got into the elevator. There was someone ushering them in.
Huo Jinyao squeezed her hands. “Several childhood friends of mine knew that I was coming back and offered to host a welcome dinner. I can’t turn them down. Let’s just hang around.”
“They are your childhood friends?”
