Qingsang felt speechless, but she just couldn’t hate Huo Jinyao’s flattery. She could only blame his wonderful appearance. A handsome man always seemed to be forgiven for doing anything. He was looking at her with such an intent gaze and saying something like a love confession.
Su Qingsang’s heart skipped a beat, and she had to turn her face to look out the window. Now, she somehow wanted to ignore Huo Jinyao.
…
He Xuanyao did not stay in Lin City for another day. She booked the fastest flight back to Rong City after being humiliated like that by Huo Jinyao.
“Yaoyao?” He Xuankai came back from a party that night and saw He Xuanyao, who had just dragged her luggage into the house. “Didn’t you go to Lin City with your friends? Why are you back so soon?”
“Brother.” He Xuanyao’s emotions that she repressed on the road were now obvious.
“What’s wrong? Yaoyao?”
“Brother.” He Xuanyao flew into the arms of He Xuankai and cried out.
“What is it? Who bullied you?” His sister was seven or eight years younger than him. When they were children, he always babysat her, so they were very close.
He Xuanyao tried to control her voice, “Brother Jinyao, he —”
“Huo Jinyao?” He Xuankai twisted his eyebrows. If he remembered correctly, Huo wasn’t in Rong City these days.
“It was him, he —”, He Xuanyao told her brother all about it in sobs and looked up at her brother with tearful eyes. “Brother, how could I be mistaken? It was him for sure. Why would he pretend not to know me?”
He Xuankai did not know the specific situation. “Maybe he was busy at the time?”
“No! He was with a woman, and it seemed like they were married.”
“Married?” It is impossible, isn’t it? He Xuankai thought that it was not true.
“How influential is his family? How could Huo Jinyao get married without any news of it reaching Rong City?”
“It’s true.” He Xuanyao got angry thinking about it. “He is really married. I asked Qiu Junjiao later, who said that his wife was an illegitimate daughter. Almost all the people with some influence in Lin City know about it.”
He Xuankai touched his jaw and thought about what his sister said, “Illegitimate daughter?”
This is interesting. Does the Huo Family know Huo Jinyao’s married? Do they know that he married an illegitimate daughter?
“Brother. Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo don’t know a thing about it. This marriage doesn’t count at all. I love him and I will get him back.”
“Xuanyao. What are you talking about?” Get him back? He is married. She is really getting more and more self-willed.
“I will, I just will.” He Xuanyao could not ease her grudge. “That woman is not good enough for Brother Jinyao. I don’t believe that the Huo Family will accept her.” Aunt Huo values family background the most. That Old Master Huo is also there. They will not allow Huo Jinyao to marry a woman whose family background does not match theirs.
“Take it easy. Let me think about it.” He Xuankai was not an impulsive person. “Are you sure that the Huo Family does not know about it?”
“Of course. You can go check it out tomorrow and see if they know it.”
He Xuanyuan did not speak. Some things indeed could be verified.
…
Huo Jinyao turned over on the bed and looked at his bathroom. Su Qingsang had gone in for a shower and hadn’t come out for a quite a while. Listening to the noise inside, Huo Jinyao was itchy for going in to find out.
“Sweetheart, are you done?”
