Su Qingsang swept his hand aside. How could she be fine? “I’ll be fine as long as you stay away from me.”
“That is impossible.”
When he stared into her adorably angry eyes, he gave a toothy grin. Su Qingsang gritted her teeth.
What are you smiling for? To show how white your teeth are?
“Wife, I just love being near you.” Huo Jinyao did not forget about taking advantage of her, and both his arms looped around her waist. “Don’t you know that?”
“Step aside, I’m getting out of bed.” She still had to go to work today. She had rested long enough.
Su Qingsang’s footsteps stopped short in the midst of getting out of bed. “Oh right, I’ll bring it up to the manager today.”
“What?”
“Actually, I’ve mentioned this before —that you wished to have me go to Rong City to expand the business. The manager didn’t agree at that time. I’ll bring it up to her again today and see what she says. If it’s a yes, let’s go to Rong City tomorrow.”
Huo Jinyao retracted the playfulness on his face. He stood up and walked to Su Qingsang’s side. “Do you really want to follow me to Rong City, or do you just want to keep your dad from pestering your mom?”
“Both.” Su Qingsang might have had some exasperating moments with Huo Jinyao yesterday, but she clearly did not miss the hardened look Xiang Caiping had on her face.
“You saw how my mom was. She couldn’t communicate properly with my dad at all — being civil with each other was out of the question. Although it is impossible for them to be together now, my mom would surely feel frustrated if my dad always pesters her by paying her visits all the time. If that’s the case, why not separate them for good? As long as they stop meeting each other, I believe that my mom’s emotions would settle down.”
Huo Jinyao nodded. “Then you had better ask your supervisor. I’ll go back and tell Cheng Xianyun about it, and when the time comes, you can see which hospital you’d like to go to.”
“There’s no hurry. It can wait until I’ve arrived at Rong City. However, I think there’s a possibility that we still have to sort out some matters in Lin City.”
“Alright. It’s your call.”
Su Qingsang gave Huo Jinyao a look. She discovered that when it came to small matters such as these, he would follow them through without any fuss.
Her heart a little touched, she leaned over and planted a kiss on his cheek as she stared at Huo Jinyao’s handsome face. “Huo Jinyao, thank you.”
Huo Jinyao grabbed her waist and kissed her lips the moment she pulled away, deepening the kiss while he was at it.
When Su Qingsang’s legs went soft and she almost swooned in his embrace, he took pity on her and released her.
“This is the thank you that I wanted.”
Su Qingsang glared at him and quickly dodged into the bathroom.
They were holding hands when they emerged from the room. Xiang Caiping already had breakfast prepared.
Recently, tasks like that seemed easier and easier for her to carry out.
“Mom, good morning.”
“Good morning, Mom.”
“Good morning.” Xiang Caiping’s gaze fell onto their locked hands. She felt more contented as she watched the pair. “Qingsang, how did you rest yesterday? Do you want to apply for another day of leave?”
“There’s no need to.” Su Qingsang held up the bowl of porridge in front of her. “Since when am I that weak? Plus, I’ve already taken a few days of leave.”
“Your health is important.” Xiang Caiping was always concerned for her daughter. “No matter what it is, if you’re still tired, then stay home and rest.”
Well, even if Qingsang did not work, the money she had earned in the past was enough to last her a lifetime.
“Mom. You’re going to spoil me.”
“I’ll pamper my daughter however I want.” Xiang Caiping had thought it through yesterday.
If you, Su Chenghui, enjoy doting on your daughter, go on and dote on her. If you’re willing to treat your daughter well, then go ahead.
As for her, Xiang Caiping’s daughter, naturally she would always have Xiang Caiping to care for her.
