“Of course,” Su Qingsang nodded. She seemed very calm and unperturbed. “Not all women are as tolerant as I am.”
Huo Jinyao stared at Su Qingsang’s face for quite a while. Wasn’t she actually saying that she didn’t care that much about him? This wasn’t really about her being tolerant.
“Aren’t you curious about what I could do?”
Only a little. He could say what he wanted or not. Either way, she would not mind. Su Qingsang shook her head calmly. “No,” she answered.
The corner of Huo Jinyao’s mouth twitched and he stared at Su Qingsang’s face for a while before he asked, “So should I be grateful for my wife’s being so reasonable?”
“Shouldn’t you be?”
Huo Jinyao looked deeply into Su Qingsang’s eyes, sour-faced.
He stood up and said, “I’m going to work.”
“Off you go.”
Su Qingsang wanted to continue her chat with Shi Mengwan. Huo Jinyao was hurt when he realized that she was not even going to ask him to stay.
After taking a few steps toward the door, he turned around and stood in front of Su Qingsang, who had just turned on her phone and was taken aback to see Huo Jinyao so close.
“What’s the matter?”
“Do you want to come to my office with me?”
His office? Su Qingsang was puzzled. “Why would I go to your office?”
“You’re the wife of the future boss of the company. Obviously, you should come in with me to see the company, right? This way they can get to know you. If you don’t, when you come to the company and ask for me, they will not know you are.”
It didn’t matter that she was not jealous or did not care; that only indicated that she lacked common sense or that she was not aware of how popular he was among women. He should take her to the company and let her have a good look. Then, she would see how many women there were interested in him.
Su Qingsang did not have any desire to see his workplace.
“Why would I go to your office with you? I don’t think I will.”
“Just come to keep me company.” Huo Jinyao sat down beside her and said, “Think about it. I will be busy in my office and you will be bored alone at home. Why don’t you just come with me?”
It makes sense, but… “Wouldn’t that seem unprofessional?”
“How come? Let’s go.”
Seeing the expectant look on his face, Su Qingsang stood up. “OK, I’ll go upstairs and change my clothes.”
“No need to change. Let’s go.”
“But—”.
“Don’t worry, dear. You are beautiful no matter what you’re wearing.”
…
Huo Jinyao was quite well known around the company. His family name made him one of the most important people not only in Tianyu Group but in all of Rong City. Few people could match him in terms of popularity. He was also well known for his talent. As soon as he graduated from college, he had taken over as CEO of the Tianyu Group.
At that time, Huo Mingguang had still been very young and many people in the group were quite unconvinced about the move. Huo Jinyao, however, who was supported by Old Master Huo, shouldered the burden.
Over the years, Huo Jinyao’s ability became clear to all. Tianyu Group had already been a big business when he took over but the company seldom suffered any setbacks as Huo Jinyao led it. Even if there were a few twists and turns occasionally, he always saved the day in the end.
The people of Rong City who knew Huo Jinyao all said that he was a young and promising commercial genius. They were also aware that this resourceful and powerful CEO was actually indifferent to and stayed away from most women.
What had they just seen then? Had Huo Jinyao just entered the office building with a woman on his arm?
