Huo Jinyao, who had always overshadowed him in both board meetings and private meetings, was now carrying his new wife with great intimacy. The two people seemed to be planning to do something amazing later.
Aware of this, Huo Yifan raised the corners of his mouth with a playful look on his face.
“You are in such a good mood. You just worked overtime?”
He specifically stressed the word “overtime,” making the implication very clear.
Huo Jinyao was quite calm; even being seen by Huo Yifan, he did not intend to put Su Qingsang down. She, however, was very embarrassed. She signaled to him a few times to let go of her, but he wouldn’t listen to her. She couldn’t do anything but pat Huo Jinyao on his back again. Huo Jinyao ignored her, however, and just looked at Huo Yifan, as if he didn’t notice her.
“Yes. I just worked overtime. I’ve been away for a few days and there was a lot of work to do for the company.”
“Really? I always thought that you had handled the company easily. I didn’t expect you would have to work overtime one day.” Huo Yifan nodded. His face was saying, I understand, you do not have to explain to me.
“I can handle it with ease, of course, but you, what are you doing here after work?”
“Forgot something upstairs. I’m going to get it now.” Huo Yifan spread out a hand and said, “I am an idle person, not like you working overtime at this hour. You’ve worked very hard.”
When he said the word “hard,” he meaningfully glanced at Su Qingsang in the arms of Huo Jinyao.
Hadn’t he worked hard? Could he not distinguish his private life from work? Bringing his wife to work after a long period of absence was something only Huo Jinyao would do, wasn’t it?
Su Qingsang chose to play dead facing such a war of words. At the same time, she kept giving Huo Jinyao signals to let her down. Huo Jinyao, however, still just looked at Huo Yifan, as if he didn’t notice them.
“I should work hard. My cousin is good for nothing, so I always have to work hard, after all. Don’t you think so?”
Huo Yifan’s face suddenly became sour. “In that case, I can only bother you, cousin, to do more.”
“By all means,” Huo Jinyao said. He went out with Su Qingsang in his arms.
Su Qingsang did not succeed in making Huo Jinyao let go of her after several attempts. She was so embarrassed that she finally buried her face in Huo Jinyao’s arms until Huo Jinyao put her into the car. She covered her face and found that it was badly burning.
“This all your fault.”
She was so very embarrassed now.
“What did I do?” Huo Jinyao went around to the other side of the door. He didn’t think he had done anything wrong. “Don’t worry. He would not tell anyone about that.”
“Huo Jinyao.”
Was it a matter of telling anyone? She was Huo Yifan’s cousin-in-law after all. Now he had seen her like that…
“It’s alright.” Huo Jinyao suddenly realized that Su Qingsang’s blushing face was really cute. He also thought it was somewhat funny at the same time.
“Sweetheart, we are husband and wife; what’s wrong with me carrying you?”
Su Qingsang did not want to talk to him. She just felt mentally tired. Seeing her like this, Huo Jinyao couldn’t help but lean over to her and give her a kiss on the cheek.
“Well, let’s go to dinner.”
Su Qingsang touched her forehead weakly. Looking out the window, she suddenly felt that maybe it really had been a mistake on Old Master Huo’s part to make Huo Jinyao CEO of Tianyu Group. How could he behave like this?
“What are you thinking about?”
Huo Jinyao started the car. It was still the evening rush hour, and the car went very slowly, so he had time to talk with Su Qingsang.
Su Qingsang shook her head to shake off the speculations and changed the subject.
“Nothing. I don’t think your cousin likes you very much. Why is that?”
