Chapter 246: It felt strange

“That’s why I think it felt strange.” Su Qingsang looked down at herself and then at Huo Jinyao. “The way she looked at me was not with the intention of blackmailing or extorting me. Instead, it was one of…”

Su Qingsang was not able to put it into words, but she was baffled by how she felt.

She had dressed plainly and ordinarily on her trip here. Even though Huo Jinyao had bought many outfits for her and they were all hanging in the closet, she was more comfortable with and used to wearing her own clothes.

On the contrary, Huo Jinyao had to go to work these few days and, despite the suits he wore not being any particular luxury brand, the exquisite workmans.h.i.+p on and the value of his customized suits were visible to anyone with a keen eye for clothing.

Unfortunately, Xiang Caiping had kept hanging on to her instead of being the least bit interested in Huo Jinyao. She found this extremely bizarre.

“There is still another possibility.” Huo Jinyao was more a.n.a.lytical than Su Qingsang. “Is there a possibility that she finds it easier to coerce a woman instead? With full knowledge that you are my wife, she might be purposely bothering you?”

This possibility could not be ruled out, but Su Qingsang still felt that this was not the right answer to this peculiar puzzle.

“Forget it, I’m not going to think about it anymore.”

“Let’s go. Didn’t you say that we still have to get a gift?”

“Yes.” Su Qingsang nodded and followed Huo Jinyao into the car. They then drove off.

The next day, Su Qingsang woke up early in the morning to practice Tai Chi with Old Master Huo.

She had been accompanying Old Master Huo these past few mornings. Since it had only been a few days, she naturally had not mastered much of what she had learned.

Old Master Huo had patience and didn’t expect Su Qingsang to master the skills in a short period of time. He actually just wanted company.

Every morning, Su Qingsang would practice Tai Chi with Old Master Huo while Huo Jinyao swam in a pool nearby.

After a few days, Old Master Huo grew fonder of Su Qingsang. They got along fabulously. Of course, this was not the case with the other members of the Huo Family.

On the day Su Qingsang was leaving, she had still accompanied Old Master Huo for a session of Tai Chi as was her habit.

“You must be tired, I guess? Alright, let’s end our session for the day.” As Old Master Huo retracted his moves, his eyes looked upon Su Qingsang with affection.

“Qingsang, you are going back to Lin City today?”

“Yes, I am.” Su Qingsang nodded, but her face tinged with reluctance. “Grandfather, I will miss you.”

“Remember to phone me often.”

“I will.”

“Qingsang.” Old Master Huo looked in the direction of the swimming pool where Huo Jinyao was still swimming. I doubt he would be able to hear what is said here?

“This child, Jinyao, he may appear to be flippant and casual in his att.i.tude towards life, but what you see of him on the surface is not a reflection of his true character.”

Old Master Huo continued to think about how to get his words across appropriately.

Su Qingsang gazed at Old Master Huo, her eyes unblinking as she waited for him to finish what he intended to say.

“Actually, the household was not like this in the past. Some personal things occured. Previously, Huo Jinyao’s mother…”

“Father.”

The sudden sound of someone else’s voice caused Old Master Huo to halt the rest of his speech. Turning his head, he saw Liu Tongjia. He wasn’t sure what he had heard.

“Tongjia,” Old Master Huo’s expression remained indifferent. Liu Tongjia’s eyes scanned Su Qingsang unenthusiastically.

The coldness in Liu Tongjia’s eyes intimidated Su Qingsang. Liu Tongjia moved her attention away from Su Qingsang without hesitation and fixed her eyes on Old Master Huo. “Father, Uncle called. He has something to discuss with you.”

“Okay,” Old Master Huo did not get to finish what he was saying to Su Qingsang. He glanced at her and returned to the house to take the call.

Liu Tongjia was not in a hurry to speak. She merely looked at Su Qingsang. “There are some things regarding Huo Family that you do not need to ask nor know about. After all, I do not think that you can continue to be a part of Huo Family.”
