“Stop.” Su Qingsang could not listen anymore. She needed some time to digest the things that had happened today.
She looked up at Huo Jinyao and asked, “Why are you so good to me?”
“Silly girl, this is being good to you?” Jinyao pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips. “You are my wife. Whom should I be good to if not you? Trust me, I will treat you better in the future.”
Leaning against his chest, Su Qingsang could not say a word.
“What is it?” He looked down at her and was confused to see that her face was not quite cheerful. “You don’t like it? We can see some others tomorrow.”
“It’s not that.” Su Qingsang shook her head and encircled Huo Jinyao’s waist with her arms, which she rarely did. “I’m just touched.”
“Silly girl,” Huo Jinyao said, rubbing her hair. “Well, I must give you more presents to get you to touch me more.”
“Huo Jinyao.” Su Qingsang looked up at him. Her eyes were serious and concentrated. “You actually don’t have to. These things are not what I want.”
“Sweetheart?”
“We don’t need a huge house, but just one that’s enough to live in. We don’t need too much money, just enough to support our life. I’m glad you gave me a present and went out of your way to make me known to everyone in the city. I still want the two of us to keep our life simple, though. Will you?”
“Yes. It’s all up to you.” Huo Jinyao smiled tenderly. Su Qingsang felt her heart beating quickly. She was so comfortably warm.
Huo Jinyao did not insist on her accepting his present, but gave her time to adapt to the change.
Raising her head, she kissed him on the lips. This time Huo Jinyao took the initiative and grabbed her waist.
The light on the back garden was not too bright; the shadows of the handsome couple looked so beautiful.
Standing in the corner, Qiu Yanbo narrowed his eyes as he watched the couple hugging and kissing.
“Does it hurt?”
A very light voice spoke in his ear. Qiu Yanbo turned around to find that Su Peizhen had come outside as well.
She was looking at the scene as well. Qiu Yanbo slightly knitted his eyebrows and was going to leave, but Su Peizhen blocked his way.
“Feel bad, do you? Does it hurt you? It’s too late; she is married.”
She had never sounded so gloating. All the usual calmness and grace of the eldest Miss Su had disappeared now.
“You don’t look very good right now.”
Qiu Yanbo looked at Su Peizhen’s face. She was good-looking, even gorgeous. Now, however, he was displeased at her beauty. “If I don’t look good, you are no better.”
“Qiu Yanbo.” Not wanting to be heard by the rest of the hall, Su Peizhen lowered her voice and said, “What do you want? Huo Jinyao is not someone you can mess with. Tianyu Group is not a company you can easily go up against.”
“It’s none of your business. I want you to know this: today, Huo Jinyao’s attitude spoke for itself. He doesn’t respect your family.”
Su Peizhen turned sour. Wasn’t Huo Jinyao’s action also a slap in the face of the Su Family?
He cooperated with the Su Family at first, which made them feel appreciated. Now, though, he treated their illegitimate daughter as a treasure. It felt like he was laughing at their stupidity and blindness.
