She somewhat overreacted. Huo Jinyao looked at her, wondering why she was so angry.
“Sweetheart, what’s wrong with you?”
Su Qingsang wanted to blow up, but words failed her when her eyes met Huo Jinyao’s.
He had a point. He was from Rong City but stayed with her in Lin City for so long. One just had to compare the Huo Mansion to her little apartment Now she thought that he must have long felt aggrieved. She understood, but she felt a certain uneasiness in her heart.
“Sweetheart?” Huo Jinyao found something was wrong. “Are you angry? Don’t be angry. If you don’t want to stay, we’ll go back to Lin City. We can stay wherever you want, OK?”
“Huo Jinyao.”That was not the point at all. She was actually a little anxious, a little—
Su Qingsang looked at him, into his eyes, which revealed an uncharacteristically helpless expression.
“I want to go back to Lin City.”
“Then we’ll go back. You wait until I get my things in order, and then—”
“I want to go back myself.” Su Qingsang looked at him and said, “Huo Jinyao, I want to go back alone.”
“Sweetheart?”
“Don’t worry. I’m fine and I’m not angry. I just want to go back to Lin City.”
“Then wait for me, and I will go back with you.”
“No.” That was not the point. “Huo Jinyao, if you have business to do here, do it. I’m a grown-up, I can take care of myself.”
“Qingsang?”
“Mr. Huo.” Someone knocked on the door of the office twice, and his Rong City secretary poked his head in and said, “People from the Zhongcheng Company have arrived and are in the reception room now.”
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang and squeezed her hand again. “Now, I have something to do. You stay here for a while and relax until I come back.”
Su Qingsang did not speak and Huo Jinyao kissed her on the cheek. “Wait for me,” he said.
He picked up two files and hurried out, leaving Su Qingsang alone in the office.
Soon, two young women, both of whom seemed to be Huo Jinyao’s secretaries, came in with some drinks, snacks, an iPad and a laptop. Both of them looked quite respectable and respectful. They said they were acting upon Huo Jinyao’s orders and then left after they put down all the things, which made her even more anxious.
Before she came to Rong City, she thought Huo Jinyao was just a promising handsome clerk with a little ability but no great future. He had not even mentioned his parents, who she had thought might have passed away or something.
She was born out of wedlock, and she assumed had an average family background, which she thought was good and equal.
However, when she came to Rong City, she found that Huo Jinyao was a member of a powerful family.
It was true that Old Master Huo liked her, but Liu Tongjia and Huo Jinyao’s friends seemed not to, not to mention his former fiancee Xu Ruoli.
So many eyes around him, so many people, all seemed to be conveying a single message: she was not good enough for Huo Jinyao.
Actually, she did not need others to remind her, as she herself knew it better than they did.
She became more aware of this when she saw the Huo Mansion, when she saw the environment Huo Jinyao lived in, and when she saw the difference between herself and Huo Jinyao.
