Although it didn’t take long to fly from Lin City to Japan, Su Qingsang still felt sorry for him.
“It was nothing. I am fine.”
It took three hours to fly from Lin City to Japan. It took less than two hours to fly over from Rong City.
Su Qingsang sighed. “You…” Although Su Qingsang was complaining softly, her expression revealed happiness.
Huo Jinyao was such a thoughtful man. How could she not feel touched and like him?
“Let’s go home.” Huo Jinyao stretched out his hands as he spoke, “Give your luggage to me, Mom.”
“Sure.” Much of Xiang Caiping’s gloominess over the past few days had dissipated after she saw Huo Jinyao.
Her daughter was fortunate after all. She knew that her daughter would lead a blissful life after she saw how Huo Jinyao was treating her now.
Since her daughter was happy, she felt less guilty.
Huo Jinyao didn’t know anything about Xiang Caiping’s feelings. He only figured that, after the tour, Xiang Caiping and Su Qingsang had grown closer. He was glad to see such closeness.
After they boarded the plane, Su Qingsang immediately asked the air stewardess to bring the blanket and eye mask over so that Huo Jinyao could rest. Her heart ached for him.
Huo Jinyao stretched across to kiss her on the corner of her lips. “Wifey, do you feel bad for me? Don’t worry, I am fine. I can miss out on a few hours of sleep and be okay.”
“Who is feeling bad for you?” Her mom was sitting behind them. Su Qingsang pouted in embarrassment as she stared at him and said, “I feel bad for myself. I am tired because I had did too much these past few days. I need to sleep now.”
“Really? Then quickly sleep.”
Huo Jinyao covered her with his blanket and handed her the eye mask as well.
“Okay. Let’s sleep together.”
As the two of them laid down with their eyes closed, Su Qingsang heard Huo Jinyao say, “It is meaningless to sleep together on the plane. Qingsang, let’s sleep together after we get back home.”
Su Qingsang blushed. Huo Jinyao was forever so cheeky.
Huo Jinyao closed his eyes. They didn’t speak, but their hands were clasped together tightly in between them.
…
Li Qianxue wasn’t at home when Su Peizhen got back. She had a meeting to attend that day. She always had to attend such meetings since she was head of the Lin City’s Chamber of Commerce for Women.
Old Master Li was playing chess with Su Yuxin when he saw Su Peizhen return, so he waved his hands at her.
Su Peizhen casually greeted him and quickly dashed back to her own room upstairs.
“What’s the matter with your sister?” Old Master Li looked worried as he glanced at Su Yuxin.
Su Yuxin placed his chess piece properly on the chess board before he looked up because of what Old Master Li said. “Who knows? Didn’t she go to Japan? Maybe she didn’t have a good time there?”
“She went with Qiu Junjiao and the gang. Why would she be unhappy?”
Along with Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue, Old Master Li also doted on this granddaughter. This was because, since a young age, she had been particularly honey-lipped and knew how to please the elders.
He was just about to send Su Yuxin up to take a look when Su Peizhen dashed down the stairs like a gush of wind.
She had already changed her clothes
Old Master Li looked at her as she dashed back and forth. Then, he said, as his eyes met with Su Yuxin, “Is that a handprint on your sister’s face that I see?”
“Are you sure?” replied Su Yuxin. He was still preoccupied with thinking about how he should move his next piece.
Old Master Li didn’t say anymore. He thought that he might really have been mistaken.
Su Peizhen, on the other hand, who still had the handprint on her face, had already ran to look for Su Chenghui, who was working overtime.
