“Huo Jinyao.”
Su Qingsang wasn’t very pleased with his tone of voice. Even though they were married, she was still an independent person.
“Wife…”
“Huo Jinyao, don’t be like this.”
Su Qingsang wanted to say more but saw that there were other people around. She gave him a helpless look and got in the car.
Huo Jinyao followed very closely behind her and got in the car as well.
“Wife…”
“Let’s get home first. We’ll talk more after we get there.”
This really isn’t a good place to talk, she thought.
The restaurant wasn’t far from Su Qingsang’s apartment. The two were back in their apartment after half an hour.
Su Qingsang went into the kitchen and poured water for Huo Jinyao and herself. She came out and placed a cup of water in front of Huo Jinyao, then sat down across from him.
“Huo Jinyao.”
“Wife, speak your mind.” Huo Jinyao sat up straight and looked as if he were all ears.
Su Qingsang couldn’t express her anger. It was a headache for her when she faced Huo Jinyao’s shameless attitude.
“Don’t you know? Even though we are married, I still want to keep a part of myself.”
“Wife…”
“Listen to me finish first.” Su Qingsang had been feeling this way for a long time. Huo Jinyao entered her life too hastily.
She had not had time to prepare at all. The two had gotten married right away and now they’d reached the final stage.
She wasn’t used to this type of sudden intimate relationship.
“Huo Jinyao, I know that you’re a good person.” He had agreed to help her and had been very good to her.
“But I think that our relationship is developing too fast. I hope we can…”
“Too fast?”
“You…”
“Think about it. We are already married. You see, in fantasies, the prince and princess get married and that’s the end. We rushed to the end at the very beginning and skipped many steps. Shouldn’t we hurry and make up for the what we missed?”
Su Qingsang was speechless and stared at him dumbfounded.
“Therefore, we should grab hold of this time to get to know each other and be in love. That makes more sense, right?”
Su Qingsang didn’t know what to say as she faced this kind of logic. “That’s not what I meant.”
“I know.” Huo Jinyao’s expression changed to a crestfallen one. “Were you annoyed by my attitude just now?”
“I was not annoyed. I only…”
“I am only a bit unhappy. I didn’t mean to point fault at you.”
Huo Jinyao walked up to her and grabbed her hand.
“Think about it. We are already married, but you don’t even tell me about hanging out with your friends. That obviously means you see me as an outsider. That doesn’t make me happy.”
“Huo Jinyao, I…”
“I understand, don’t worry. I will try to control this type of unhappiness in the future. But you have to promise to call me when you’re hanging out with your friends, alright?”
“This isn’t even…”
“Don’t worry. I don’t have bad eating habits and I don’t smack my lips. I can even pay the check for you when you bring me along. How great is that?”
“How is it…”
“So it’s decided,” Huo Jinyao concluded. “Call me next time you’re eating with your friends. I will call you if I have a gathering with my coworkers. That’s very fair, isn’t it?”
How is that fair? This wasn’t what I meant at all.
“Huo Jinyao, I meant…”
“Alright, wife. I’m starving. I haven’t even eaten yet. I’m going to go take a shower first. Please order takeout for me.”
“Huo…”
“Or you could also help me make a bowl of noodles. I can’t bear to let you work, though. It’s better to call takeout.”
Huo Jinyao kissed her on the cheek and left her speechless.
Su Qingsang watched Huo Jinyao enter the bedroom in big strides and felt her headache coming along again.
