To My Dear Mr. Huo Chapter 596 - That Man Made Him Jealous

Chapter 596: That Man Made Him Jealous

Su Qingsang wasn’t in the hospital. He couldn’t contact Su Qingsang, and he didn’t know whether she was alive or dead.
Every piece of news stimulated Huo Jinyao’s nerves, especially when he found out that Su Qingsang went out to buy clothes. He really had the urge to slap himself.
When Su Qingsang was packing her luggage, he should have told her to bring more clothes instead of telling her to buy them when she came to C City.
And now, she was the only one in trouble.
C City was so big, and there were so many department stores. Huo Jinyao had no idea which department store he was going to look for Su Qingsang in.
At that moment, he thought of Zhang Yichen.
He knew that Zhang Yichen’s unit was here. It would be much easier for him to look for someone than for him to look for someone himself.
But when he contacted Zhang Yichen’s unit, he found out that Zhang Yichen wasn’t in the unit. Not only was he not in the unit, he seemed to have also encountered an earthquake.
Huo Jinyao had a bad premonition. That premonition came mostly from the inexplicable feeling that Zhang Yichen and Su Qingsang had encountered an earthquake at the same time.
Su Qingsang had been out of contact for two days and two nights.
From the moment Huo Jinyao received the news to the two days when Su Qingsang was out of contact, Huo Jinyao felt as if his heart was being scratched by someone.
He couldn’t calm down at all. He couldn’t calm down at the thought that something might happen to Su Qingsang.
He had no choice but to look for his great-aunt, Huo Yangxiu. Huo Yangxiu was also anxious because Zhang Yichen was among the people who were in trouble.
Who was Zhang Yichen? He was the youngest son of the military commander and was already a senior colonel’s man.
The last news Huo Yangxiu received was that Zhang Yichen was trapped in Chunhui department store.
There were three Chunhui department stores in C City. Which department store Zhang Yichen was last in was unknown.
The phone signal was out. Only when the communication was restored did they start to locate Zhang Yichen’s location.
Huo Jinyao’s heart skipped a beat when he found out that Zhang Yichen was in the department store. He trusted Zhang Yichen and Su Qingsang.
He believed that the two of them wouldn’t have any interaction. It wasn’t until he got the exact news that Zhang Yichen was buried in a department store.
He rushed there immediately. He didn’t know why he rushed there. He believed that Zhang Yichen couldn’t be with Su Qingsang.
But when he really found Zhang Yichen, Huo Jinyao could only rejoice.
He was glad that Zhang Yichen was with Su Qingsang at that time.
He would never forget what he saw at that time, that scene, and…
“Jinyao?”
Not understanding why he was in a daze again, Su Qingsang glanced at Huo Jinyao.
Huo Jinyao recollected his thoughts and met Su Qingsang’s clear eyes. The corners of his mouth twitched.
“What’s wrong?”
“I –” Su Qingsang had woken up now, so she naturally remembered something. “I remember I was with uncle at that time. How is he?”
Su Qingsang was very grateful to Zhang Yichen. If he hadn’t arrived in time and used the door to shield her, she might have been smashed to death.
One should be grateful. It was a fact that Zhang Yichen saved her.
“He’s fine.”
Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang’s face and asked the question that had been bothering him.
“Why were you with Uncle?”
Su Qingsang had just woken up and suffered a blow to the back of her head. At the time, she thought she was fine, but in reality, she wasn’t.
She wasn’t very alert at the moment, so she didn’t catch the hint of jealousy in Huo Jinyao’s words.
“I was going to buy some clothes. Uncle just happened to come to the hospital to visit a pregnant woman. He said he was familiar with C City, so he gave me a ride.”
Huo Jinyao didn’t say anything. He just held Su Qingsang’s hand. “Uncle came to the hospital to visit a pregnant woman?”
Su Qingsang nodded. She thought of Chen Yi and suddenly sat up again. “How are Director Sun and the others? Are they alright? And Chen Yi, and –”
“That’s enough. Don’t worry about the others for now.”
Huo Jinyao held her hand and pressed her back down. “You’re very weak now. What you need to do is to rest well. Are they all alright?”
“All of them? Dr. Sun, Ling Fei, Dr. Chen, and Dr. Li are all fine?”
“They’re all fine.”Huo Jinyao nodded. “When the earthquake happened, Dr. Sun and the others were at the clinic on the first floor. They ran outside as soon as the earthquake happened, so they’re all fine.”
“That’s good.” Su Qingsang breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Dr. Sun and the others were all fine. “Where are they now?”
“There were a lot of casualties. They’re all going to help out now.”
Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang and suddenly held her gently in his arms. “Qingsang, no matter where we have this kind of learning exchange in the future, don’t go, okay?”
Su Qingsang could understand what he meant even though he didn’t say anything else.
She had only gone out twice in total, but encountered a mudslide and an earthquake. Her luck couldn’t be any worse.
“How could there be a next time?” Su Qingsang had the same thought, but she really didn’t think that her luck would continue to be so “good”. “It’s just a coincidence, it’s a small probability.”
“I don’t care. You’re not allowed to go again.”
“Okay. Next time, I’m not going anywhere except for further studies. Is that okay?”
“Further studies won’t work either.” Huo Jinyao couldn’t describe how he felt when he found out that Su Qingsang was in the middle of an earthquake.
He didn’t want to experience that feeling ever again in his life.
Su Qingsang looked at him with a helpless smile on her face.
She was still a little out of it, so Huo Jinyao got up and brought a bowl of congee from the side.
“This is all we have now. It’s simple congee boiled with water. Make do with it.”
There were still aftershocks from time to time, and there were still many disaster victims who hadn’t been properly settled.
Huo Jinyao had brought these over. This congee could be drunk with boiling water, but the taste couldn’t be compared to the congee at home.
“How could I care about that now? It’s already good enough to be able to eat.”
She was indeed hungry. She looked at Huo Jinyao as he brought the porridge over. “By the way, how many days has it been since the earthquake?”
“Today is the third day.”
The fourth day? Su Qingsang blinked. “Then, how many days have I been trapped in there? How come I don’t remember?”
“Two days.” Huo Jinyao felt really scared when he said that.
“You were trapped for two days. After we rescued you and confirmed that your life wasn’t in danger, we placed you here. After you were rescued, you slept for an entire day.”
Su Qingsang nodded. She wanted to ask more questions, but Huo Jinyao had already started feeding her porridge.
She had no choice but to eat it first. The porridge didn’t taste very good, but at this time, under such conditions, Su Qingsang couldn’t be picky.
After finishing the bowl of porridge, Huo Jinyao put the bowl aside.
“Is there anything else you want to eat? I’ll get Yang Wenchang to do his best to send it over.”
The first batch of supplies were all instant noodles, bread, biscuits, and the sort. It would take some time before they could eat warm rice.
“It’s okay. I understand.”
Su Qingsang waved her hand and listened for a while. From time to time, she could hear sirens and the sound of people coming and going outside.
“Where are we now?”
“The empty space outside the hospital. They’re all temporary tents.”
“How’s the hospital? Can’t it be used?”
“Of course not. The aftershocks are still happening. It’s too dangerous to stay inside.”
Su Qingsang pursed her lips. “Are the casualties very serious?”
“Yes. “Huo Jinyao nodded. The statistical data had already counted hundreds of people. There are still missing people as well.
Su Qingsang was in a bad mood, and Huo Jinyao didn’t know what to say.
In the face of such a disaster, manpower was too trifling.
“Huo Jinyao, I feel terrible.”
For those who left the world, those who went missing, and those who were injured.
“I know.” Huo Jinyao wasn’t in a good mood either.
He was born into a wealthy family. The kidnapping when he was young had tormented him.
It was also the first time he had seen such a miserable scene.
“I’ve already sent another batch of supplies over. However, we can’t help with the rescue for the time being. They’re more professional than us. Don’t think too much about it. Rest well. You’re still very weak.”
Su Qingsang looked at him and nodded heavily.
It was windy and rainy outside, but the inside of the small tent was a small world of its own.
Su Qingsang leaned her face against Huo Jinyao’s chest. Her eyes were a little moist. She survived. She thought she was going to die, but she survived.
But there were some people who weren’ot as lucky as her.
“Huo Jinyao.”
“Yes?”
“I sent you a message. Did you see it?”
“No. But I found your phone. It’s over there, but its battery is dead. What did you send?”
“Huo Jinyao. Let’s go back and have a child.”
Huo Jinyao froze for a moment. He looked down at Su Qingsang, and she happened to look up at him.
Her eyes were slightly watery. There was a lot to say.
“Didn’t you say we’ll talk about it later?”
“But I don’t want it to be any later.” Su Qingsang bit her lip. “I almost died this time. When I was dying, I was thinking that I haven’t given birth to a child for you yet.”
She wrapped her hands around his waist and rubbed her small face against his chest. “At that time, I felt really regretful and remorseful. If I had a child, then if I wasn’t around, then…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Huo Jinyao covered her lips.
“There won’t be such a day.”
Looking into Su Qingsang’s eyes, he leaned over and kissed her on the eyelids.
“Qingsang, there won’t be a day like that. I won’t let you leave me.”
“But…”
“There are no buts,” Huo Jinyao said firmly. “You’re you, and the child is the child. No one can replace you. Even the child you gave birth to for me is the same. I don’t need anyone else. I only need you.”
Su Qingsang’s eyes reddened again. She blinked and resisted the urge to cry.
After being married to Huo Jinyao for a year, these were the most touching romantic words she had ever heard him say.
“But, I want a child. One that belongs to me and you.”
“We’ll have a child.” Huo Jinyao pressed his forehead against hers. “Don’t think too much about it. After your body recovers and we return to Rong City, we’ll have as many children as you want, okay?”
He didn’t object, and Su Qingsang felt like crying again.
She nodded and said in a trembling voice, “Let’s have two children, okay? One boy and one girl.”
“Okay.”
“It’s best if we have a boy first and then a girl. That way, the older brother can protect the younger sister.”
“Okay. I’ll listen to you.”
Huo Jinyao wrapped his arms around her waist. Su Qingsang looked at him and said in a softer voice, “Having twins would be good too.”
“Yeah. Once and for all, right?”
“Yeah.” Su Qingsang smiled with tears in her eyes. “When the time comes, we’ll carry each other and go out together. We’ll bring them to see the fallen leaves in autumn and cherry blossoms in spring.”
“Okay.”
Huo Jinyao didn’t object. He said yes to everything. Su Qingsang glanced at him. She knew in her heart that Huo Jinyao would definitely become a good father.
The two of them chatted for a while. As if she wanted to sleep again, Su Qingsang yawned.
Huo Jinyao knew that she was still very weak, so he let go of her and helped her lie down carefully.
“You should rest first. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk when you wake up.”
Su Qingsang nodded and laid down again. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly thought of something.
“By the way, is Uncle really okay?”
Huo Jinyao didn’t answer her question. He shook his head and said, “He’s fine. Seems like you really care about him.”
This time, Su Qingsang could discern the jealousy in his words. She couldn’t help but laugh and reached out to hold his hand.
“He saved my life. If it wasn’t for him, I would have died a long time ago.”
“You?” Huo Jinyao wanted to ask her if she remembered. However, Su Qingsang was indeed sleepy again.
She had a head injury and was still receiving an IV drip. All of this made eeasily her sleepy.
“Uncle is really a nice person.” Her eyes had already begun to close, and her voice became softer. “He came to me when the earthquake happened. He saved me. Jinyao, I want to thank him.”
She didn’t say anything else after that. She was already asleep.
Huo Jinyao stared at her face. He wan’t sure how much she could remember. Su Qingsang was completely asleep.
He tucked her in and went to a tent not that far away.
Huo Yangxiu was guarding Zhang Yichen when he entered the tent. She stood up when she saw Huo Jinyao.
“Jinyao, is Qingsang Okay?”
“She’s awake. She’s fine now.” Su Qingsang suffered a mild concussion after being hit in the head by a rock.
Coupled with the fact that she was buried in the ruins, it caused a certain degree of lack of oxygen. She was indeed in a dangerous state before.
But the Doctor said that as long as she woke up, she would be fine.
Now that she was awake, she believed that she should be fine.
“It’s good that she’s fine. It’s good that she’s fine.”
Huo Yangxiu felt relieved. When she turned to look at Zhang Yichen who was lying on the bed, her relief turned into worry.
“I wonder when Yichen will wake up.”
“Uncle will be fine.”
Huo Jinyao glanced at Zhang Yichen. His face was pale as he laid there motionlessly.
Huo Yangxiu wasn’t there when Zhang Yichen was rescued, so she was able to face him calmly now.
If Huo Yangxiu had seen the situation back then, Huo Jinyao couldn’t guarantee that Huo Yangxiu would still be able to be as calm as she was now and talk to him calmly.
Zhang Yichen could have been fine, but why was he still not waking up even now? First of all, he had injured his internal organs, and second of all, he had lost too much blood.
Huo Jinyao couldn’t forget what he saw when the ruins were dug open and he saw Zhang Yichen and Su Qingsang.
After Su Qingsang passed out, she had a fever and was short of water. Zhang Yichen had no choice but to cut his own wrist and let Su Qingsang drink his blood.
Su Qingsang was unconscious. She didn’t know about this.
Later, there was an aftershock. In order to prevent her from being hit, Zhang Yichen had been protecting her from the aftershock. However, he didn’t expect that the wall would collapse because of the aftershock.
Although there was a door to block it, that small door could no longer block two people.
In order to prevent Su Qingsang from being hit, Zhang Yichen used the door to block most of the pressure.
He was hit in the back, and because he fed Su Qingsang blood to keep her alive, by the time he was rescued, he was already unconscious due to excessive blood loss and the injury on his back.
Even so, he still used his back to support the door tightly. His uninjured hand was still supporting the chair behind Su Qingsang.
He formed a space in front of him and used it to protect Su Qingsang.
Huo Jinyao couldn’t describe how shocked he was at that time.
He knew that Zhang Yichen liked Su Qingsang, but he didn’t expect Zhang Yichen to be able to do so much for Su Qingsang.
He couldn’t even get jealous at such a scene.
He could only rejoice and feel grateful. If it weren’t for Zhang Yichen, Su Qingsang would have died.
Huo Jinyao blamed himself. He blamed himself for not being by Su Qingsang’s side, for not protecting her well, and for not being by her side at the first moment. Instead, it was another man who was with her.
He was indeed a little jealous, a little envious. But he was more grateful and relieved. If it weren’t for Zhang Yichen, he would have lost Su Qingsang by now.
He couldn’t imagine what that scene would be like.
“Great-aunt, I’ll take care of Uncle for a while. You go and rest first.”
“No need.” Huo Yangxiu waved her hand. “He won’t wake up so soon anyway. Besides, Qingsang needs you.”
“She’s sleeping now.”
Zhang Yichen was rescued. The rescuers only told Huo Yangxiu that Zhang Yichen was buried there while trying to save people. They didn’t say who he was there to save.
To Huo Yangxiu, it was perfectly normal for her son to do such a thing.
He was a soldier. He had the responsibility and obligation to walk in front of others. She just hoped that her son would wake up soon.
“There’s really no need. I’ve already called Yichen’s father. When the next batch of supplies arrives, we’ll move him away from here. Oh right, you should go to Qingsang. There are still aftershocks here. It’s not safe.”
“Okay.” Huo Jinyao didn’t object. He looked at Zhang Yichen, who laid unconscious on the bed.
He only hoped that he would wake up soon.
Zhang Yichen didn’t wake up until the helicopter that brought the supplies arrived the next day.
Huo Yangxiu was really worried about him. So for the time being, they moved Zhang Yichen to City N, which was closest to City C.
City N was also affected by the earthquake, but it wasn’t as seriously affected as City C. They only sensed it.
Su Qingsang was also transferred with them. Her body had already recovered more than half after a night of rest.
She wanted to help, but how could Huo Jinyao agree?
She was injured and hadn’t recovered yet. She still needed someone to take care of her, so how could she save others?
No matter what Su Qingsang said, Huo Jinyao didn’t agree to let her stay. Not only that, but he also brought her to the helicopter and followed her to N City.
When they arrived in N City, he first arranged for Su Qingsang to undergo a full-body examination, especially a brain examination. After confirming that Su Qingsang was fine, he let her be observed for a day.
Even though she felt that there was nothing wrong with her body, Su Qingsang was helpless. However, Huo Jinyao was too nervous about her, so she had to be hospitalized.
City N was very close to City C, but it wasn’t the closest city, so there weren’t many injured patients there.
There were more people in the hospital than usual, but because of Huo Yangxiu, they were now in the military hospital, so there couldn’t be as many people as there were in other hospitals.
Su Qingsang was much better today. However, Huo Jinyao insisted that she lie in bed to rest.
She felt that she had slept too much, but Huo Jinyao didn’t feel that way. He felt that only by lying on the bed could she be considered to be resting. This made Su Qingsang feel very helpless.
After lunch, Su Qingsang was supposed to take an afternoon nap. However, she couldn’t fall asleep even after closing her eyes.
Just as she was about to ask Huo Jinyao if he wanted to rest for a while, she heard him go outside.
Zhang Yichen woke up. Huo Jinyao heard the news when he was delivering food to Su Qingsang.
His ward was right next to Su Qingsang’s ward, and Huo Yangxiu had arranged it.
When Huo Jinyao went over, Zhang Yichen had just eaten a bowl of porridge. His hand was still wrapped in gauze.
His complexion was a little pale, but it was much better than yesterday.
Huo Yangxiu saw him coming and greeted him.
“Uncle.”
Huo Jinyao looked at Zhang Yichen with a complicated expression.
Zhang Yichen’s lips moved when he saw him, but he didn’t say what he wanted to ask when he saw Huo Yangxiu beside him.
“Mom, I want to eat some grapes. Go and buy some.”
“Okay.” Huo Yangxiu rushed over because of Zhang Yichen’s accident this time.
Her eldest son and daughter had a mission and couldn’t come over immediately. As for Zhang Xinghua, she would only have time to come over at night.
Therefore, he was the only one here to take care of Zhang Yichen. Upon hearing that her son wanted to eat grapes, she immediately picked up her bag and walked out.
“Then, Jinyao, you –”
“Go ahead, Creat-aunt. I’ll stay here to accompany Uncle.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Su Qingsang was in the next ward. She was already fine, and Huo Yangxiu knew that, so she wasn’t too worried.
She thanked Huo Jinyao and left.
After she left, the ward fell silent. Zhang Yichen looked at Huo Jinyao and wanted to ask how Su Qingsang was.
“I know what you want to ask. She’s fine now.”
Zhang Yichen’s fists, which were slightly clenched, relaxed slightly.
Huo Jinyao saw it and couldn’t describe how he felt.
“You should have known when you saved her that she would be fine.”
Seeing that Zhang Yichen didn’t say anything, Huo Jinyao added, “Thank you, Uncle.”
His expression calm, Zhang Yichen glanced at him. However, only he knew how much undercurrent was hidden under that calmness.
“You’re welcome.”
“I know. It’s a little too insincere to say thank you now.” Huo Jinyao’s voice was a little sulleen. He looked at the gauze on Zhang Yichen’s arm. The white gauze made his tan skin look somewhat glaring.
“But I still have to thank you, because I’m her husband, and you saved my wife. I thank you.”
“I said that you don’t have to thank me. I didn’t do it for you.”
