To My Dear Mr. Huo Chapter 527 - Are You Jealous?

Chapter 527: Are You Jealous?

Upon hearing her words, Huo Jinyao paused briefly and relaxed his grip on her. Su Qingsang took the opportunity to get back on her feet.

To keep herself from falling, she leaned against the wall and prepared to break free from Huo Jinyao’s arms. However, before she could do that, Huo Jinyao quickly put his arms on both sides of her body.

“Darling, how did you know?”

Huo Jinyao recalled the phone call that he had with Ding Qing in the morning, when she went to pick Su Qingsang up from the airport. Then, he thought of Ding Qing’s att.i.tude. He immediately wore a sullen face.

Did Ding Qing tell her about that?

“How did I know? It’s on the news. Didn’t you want me to know? But it’s already on the news.”

Huo Jinyao was stunned for a moment. Not many people had the guts to challenge Tianyu Group in Rong City. He believed that not every reporter had the courage to publish news about him.

He rarely accepted interviews and barely had his photos published online.

That was the reason why the Li Family had failed to dig out his background when he was in Lin City.

“Darling, can you please tell me what exactly happened? You need to give me a chance to explain even if you’re planning to sentence me to death, right?”

“You want a chance to explain? Alright.”

Su Qingsang didn’t waste time talking, but took out the phone, found the news she had seen that day and showed it to Huo Jinyao. Huo Jinyao read the news and saw the video too.

He saw Ding Qing throw herself into his arms in the video. Then, he thought of the way Su Qingsang had talked to him on the phone earlier and recalled Ding Qing telling him that she might have said something wrong to Su Qingsang. He finally figured out why Su Qingsang was angry, and talking to him with a harsh tone.

‘So that’s the reason,’ he thought. He knew that Su Qingsang wouldn’t be mad at him only because of those apartments.

“Darling, I can explain.”

“Go ahead, explain.” Su Qingsang spread her arms, preparing to listen.

“It’s a long story. In fact…”

“Make it short,” Su Qingsang said. She picked up her sleepwear while talking, then made a step backward and stood before the bathroom door.

“So, Ding Qing and I showed up at that club because something that belongs to my company was stolen by one of my employees. That something is extremely important. So that day, I was in a rush to get it back…”

He explained what had happened that day with simple words, without giving many details.

Still, Su Qingsang detected that something was different.

“Are you saying that you’ve gotten it back already?”

“Yes, I have.” Huo Jinyao sighed with relief because Su Qingsang didn’t ask any more questions about Ding Qing. What had happened between him and Ding Qing was purely an accident.

Unfortunately, Su Qingsang had seen it. No wonder she was upset.

“Did you say that you spent two million?” Huo Jinyao had mentioned that very casually just now, but Su Qingsang was quick to grasp that information.

“Yeah.” Huo Jinyao looked at her nervously. “Darling, you’re not unhappy because I’ve spent too much money, are you?”

Su Qingsang rolled her eyes. She didn’t even bother to complain about the unrelated thoughts that he was having. Holding her sleepwear, she fell into deep thought.

Tianyu Group was a huge company. It surely had been providing its employees with great welfare.

The employees who had been working on that project had all signed confidentiality agreements. They each made at least hundreds of thousands a year. Why did the man do something like that to get merely two million?

“Huo Jinyao, don’t you feel like something isn’t right?”

“What do you think is wrong?” Huo Jinyao did feel the same way, of course. He wanted to hear about Su Qingsang’s opinion.

Su Qingsang shared her thoughts with him and pointed out some unreasonable facts.

“So, he could have been able to make the two million by working in Tianyu Group for two, three, or four years tops. Why did he still only want that much money?”

Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang without trying to conceal the admiration in his eyes at all. It was a pity that Su Qingsang was a doctor. She had a keen eye for business as well.

“If I were him, I’d asked for a much higher price, like ten million, or twenty million. You’d give it to me anyway. As you’ve said, the project is worth billions. You’ve probably invested over a hundred million in it already. So this doesn’t make sense at all.”

Su Qingsang only shared her thoughts.

Huo Jinyao looked at her, and couldn’t help but lean toward her and kiss her hard on the lips.

“Darling, you’re so smart.”

Su Qingsang looked at him in the eyes. She didn’t say a word but raised a hand and pinched his arm.

His arms were so muscular that she barely caused him pain, so she poked his chest instead.

“Huo Jinyao, don’t think that I’m going to forgive you for lying to me only because you have given me a compliment.”

“Darling, when did I lie to you?” Huo Jinyao felt awful for being blamed. “I was telling the truth.”

“Was every word you said true?”

“Of course.”

“You said that you were at the club for a reason, and I believe you. But tell me, why did you lie to me about staying in the family house?”

“I…” Huo Jinyao blinked. With a smile, Su Qingsang nodded at him slowly and signaled for him to recall that as soon as possible.

The sinister smile on her face made Huo Jinyao suddenly feel a chilliness running down his spine. “Darling…”

“Don’t you remember that? Do you need me to remind you about it?”

“Yes, please.”

“That day, I called you and asked you where you stayed last night. What did you tell me? You told me that you stayed in the family house.”

Su Qingsang paused briefly, poked Huo Jinyao’s chest with her finger, then said, “Huo Jinyao, was it fun lying to me?”

“Darling, you’ve misunderstood me. I was reading an email at that time, so I was distracted and I said that to you without thinking. I didn’t lie to you on purpose.”

“You lied to me without thinking but made it sound so real. So if you decide to lie to me on purpose in the future, I would never be able to find out, would I?”

“Darling, that would never happen. I am an honest, decent young man. I never lie.”

“You never lie?” Once again, Su Qingsang poked his chest, and said, “I seem to remember that you lied to me soon after we got married.”

Huo Jinyao didn’t know how to respond to that. Helplessly, he looked at Su Qingsang and said, “darling, can we agree on one thing?”

“Uh-huh. Go ahead.”

“Can we not bring up the past?”

“Alright,” Su Qingsang said. “So let’s talk about the current problem. You were at the club with Miss. Ding, but you told me that you were staying at the family house. Did you not lie to me?”

“I…”

“Also, you were at the club with Miss. Ding because you had to. Fine. But why were you holding her?”

“I wasn’t holding her,” Huo Jinyao hurriedly denied. “Some people were fighting near us. She stepped on a bottle that those people threw over, so she fell toward me and I simply helped her up.”

He said the last few words with a very low voice. The last word could barely be heard.

Su Qingsang nodded with comprehension and said, “I get it. You helped her up, so she wouldn’t fall.”

“Yeah.”

“And then you conveniently held the pretty lady in your arms, right?” Su Qingsang held her sleepwear tighter when she said that, then raised her head to look at Huo Jinyao. “Miss. Ding is in great shape, isn’t she?”

“Not as good as you are,” Huo Jinyao teased her immediately.

Su Qingsang nodded knowingly and said, “not as good as I am? So you’ve observed her carefully, haven’t you? You were holding her tight, right? If not, how did you know that she’s not in as good shape as I am?”

“Darling…” Huo Jinyao was almost defeated by Su Qingsang. “I have no idea what kind of shape she’s in. My wife is always the best in everything anyway! You are the best in the world! You surely have the prettiest body in the world.”

Looking at Su Qingsang’s bland face, he quickly put his arms around her.

“Darling, are you jealous?”

“Who’s jealous?” Su Qingsang refused to admit it but turned away from him.

“You’re lying. Look at you! Look at you.” Huo Jinyao touched her lips with his fingers. “You’re pouting. You’re clearly jealous.”

Su Qingsang bit his fingers hard. Huo Jinyao winced in pain and retracted his fingers. He looked at her with a grievance. “Darling!”

“Yeah, I’m jealous. So what? Am I not allowed to be jealous?”

“Darling.”

“You’re my husband.” Su Qingsang, once again, poked his chest with great force. “You belong to me, form head to toe. You are mine! No other woman is allowed to lay a finger on you. Do you understand me?”

“Yes.” She wasn’t strong enough to give him much pain, after all, but Huo Jinyao loved seeing her jealous.

“You’ve let another woman touch you and you’ve let her hold you. Am I not allowed to be jealous because of that?”

“You are. You are.”

Huo Jinyao held her and begged for mercy. “Darling, don’t worry, that won’t happen again. Next time, when a woman falls in front of me, I won’t even raise a finger to help her, even if she might fall to death.”

“Stop it. Don’t make it sound like I’m a heartless person.”

Su Qingsang couldn’t bear listening to that. “I’m not saying that you can’t help other people. But next time, do stay away from those kinds of women.”

“Yes, Ma’am.” Huo Jinyao grasped the chance to kiss her again on the lips. “My wife is so kind and adorable. I’m so lucky to have her.”

“Huo Jinyao, let me go. I’m going to take a shower.”

Su Qingsang really couldn’t bear listening to him. However, Huo Jinyao found that far from enough. “Darling, seriously, we haven’t seen each other for so many days. Didn’t you miss me?”

She didn’t answer his question. He was patient, though. He lifted her and carried her to the bed.

“Darling, don’t waste time bringing up the past and being jealous. Let’s do something that can cheer both of us up, alright?”

Su Qingsang was impressed by how graceful he made himself sound.

“I haven’t showered yet.”

“It’s okay. You can shower later.”

Huo Jinyao started kissing her even before he could finish his words.

Not before long, the towel which was wrapped around his waist fell off the bed, and soon after that, Su Qingsang’s clothes fell to the floor as well.

Su Qingsang sensed Huo Jinyao getting up to reach the nightstand so that he could fetch a condom. She almost lost her mind over his actions.

“Huo Jinyao…” She hesitated for a moment.

“Darling, be patient. It’ll take just a second.”

That was not what she was thinking.

“Jinyao, I think, maybe it’ll be fine.”

She said that with a very low and m.u.f.fled voice.

She had had a great time together with Li Qianxue in Lin City this time. As the old family issue had stopped bothering her, she found that the idea of parenting was no longer so repulsive to her.

Having a baby no longer sounded like a bad idea.

That baby wouldn’t be an illegitimate child like what she herself used to be. That baby would be the child of Huo Jinyao and her and would be treasured.

She believed that both the Li Family and the Huo Family would love that child very much.

She had started to think about that on her way back home. Maybe they could stop using birth control and try to have a child. At least currently, she was willing to learn how to be a good mother.

Huo Jinyao paused briefly, then lowered his head. He looked at Su Qingsang’s ruby cheeks. She was breathing shallowly and unevenly. Once again, he kissed her on the forehead.

“Darling, there’s no rush, no rush.”

The 0.01mm didn’t make anything feel different.

In that extreme pleasure, Su Qingsang somehow had a feeling that Huo Jinyao seemed to be the one who really didn’t want kids.

…

Su Qingsang walked into the office holding two large bags of local products from Lin City.

It was Tuesday, which meant that there were fewer patients than Monday. Su Qingsang gave the gifts to her colleagues before she started working.

“These are just some local products from Lin City. I hope you guys like it.”

She sounded so kind and polite. Her colleagues all thanked her sincerely for the gifts.

After handing out the gifts, Su Qingsang put on her white coat and prepared to start working. Just then, Li Meilin called her name.

“Doctor Su, there’s something that I think you need to know.”

“What is it?”

“Li Hong’s family has been showing up making a scene in the hospital for the past few days. They want an explanation from you.”

“They want an explanation from me?” Su Qingsang blinked her eyes because she didn’t understand. “About what?”

“You know that Li Hong had a daughter and then her uterus was removed. She can never have another child. Her husband blames you for that. He said that Li Hong would have been able to have a son in the future if you didn’t take the authority to remove her uterus…”

Su Qingsang had figured it out before Li Meilin finished talking.

“What did Director Sun say?” she asked.

“She has talked to Li Hong’s husband, but he wouldn’t listen to her. We also don’t know who told him that but he now knows that you were the first doctor who treated Li Hong. Also, you’ve treated her before this. So he’s been yelling about making you pay for your actions.”

Su Qingsang nodded and said, “alright, I get it. Thank you.”

“Seriously, those people don’t seem easy to deal with. You should be careful.”

Su Qingsang had already worked in the hospital for months. All of her colleagues liked her. Not to mention the fact that she had just brought them gifts.

Li Meilin still believed that she needed to give Su Qingsang some warning.

“Where are they now?”

“They made a scene on Friday. You weren’t here that day, so Director Sun talked to them. They learned that most of the doctors don’t work on the weekends, so they went back home after that. Yesterday, Li Hong’s husband came to visit Li Hong, then made his way here after that. I think he was looking for you.”

“Thank you. I get it.”

Su Qingsang nodded. She didn’t take it seriously. It wasn’t the first time something like that happened.

Back in Lin City, the families of Zhang Mei and Liu Xiangyu had been even fiercer than Li Hong’s husband. But weren’t all the problems solved at last?

The hospital was a place to heal people. What she had done to save Li Hong’s life was not wrong. Li Hong’s husband had signed an agreement to permit the operation. She had explained the risks to him clearly before he signed the agreement. He had agreed to let the doctors save his wife’s life. Li Hong might have died if the doctors hadn’t removed her uterus.

The damage caused by the car accident wasn’t comparable to normal damages. She might have literally lost her life if the doctors hadn’t removed her uterus.

Su Qingsang spent a short while thinking about that, then started doing her work. She had a lot of work to do in the hospital every day, and she had also been a.s.sisting Sun Huiya. Sun Huiya didn’t work in the hospital every day, because she was also teaching at the University of Medicine in Rong City as a professor.

Sun Huiya was working on a few projects currently and Su Qingsang was very interested in one of them.

She had agreed to join that project, and she also had to pay attention to her patients. Therefore, she didn’t have the time to take Li Hong’s husband seriously at all.

In fact, she didn’t mind what Li Hong’s husband was doing. On the contrary, she even went to Li Hong’s ward to check on her during lunchtime.

That day, she had left in a haste to go home to pack her suitcase, so she wasn’t able to stay in the hospital and wait for Li Hong to wake up.

She believed that Sun Huiya would have already told Li Hong about what happened. She asked Li Meilin about that earlier. Li Meilin said yes.

Sun Huiya had explained to Li Hong about her unfortunate situation and Li Hong had accepted it. Her husband refused to accept it, though.

After a few days of resting, Li Hong had recovered a little already.

No one else was in the ward. Su Qingsang glanced around the room. Li Hong had her eyes closed, and lying on the small bed next to her, was her daughter.

A lot of babies had been born recently, so the hospital didn’t have many free beds. Li Hong wasn’t staying in a single room, but a room for two.

Her roommate had been discharged by the hospital earlier that morning, so currently, she was alone in the room.

“Li Hong, I came here to see how you’ve been doing.”

Despite the rest she had, Li Hong still looked ghastly pale.

Upon hearing Su Qignsang’s voice, she turned to see her and then started speaking.

“You are…”

“I’m the one who gave you the surgery. You were in a coma after the surgery. I got off work and left before you woke up, then I was on a vacation. I came back to work today, so I’m here checking up on you.”

In the morning, Director Sun had checked on Li Hong already, but she had told Su Qingsang not to come to see her.

Su Qingsang couldn’t understand why at first. It turned out that Director Sun simply didn’t want her to start a conflict with the patient’s family.

“Are you Doctor Su?”

Li Hong had been left alone in the hospital for a long time. When she woke up, she had heard that she had a daughter.

At first, she was very disappointed. After all, her husband’s entire family had been expecting her to have a son.

However, she thought that her next child could be a son. She asked to see her daughter, but then someone told her that her daughter was still in the incubator. They told her to get some rest first and then go to see her daughter. She was okay with that.

She was so weak that she soon fell asleep again. Before that, she kept asking a nurse to find her husband.

Her husband had come and pushed her awake when she was sleeping.

“Are you a pig? Are you? I told you to fake the accident, but it ended up being real. Why? What were you thinking?”

It was her husband’s idea to fake the car accident. He had said that all the cars in the city moved at low speeds nowadays and that as a pregnant lady, she could get the money from drivers very easily.

People would naturally be willing to pay when they saw a pregnant lady lying in front of their cars.

Li Hong was pregnant, so many drivers gave her the money even though they clearly knew that they didn’t hit her, especially the ones who had very expensive cars and very limited time. She asked those people for a lot of money because those people were rich anyway. They wouldn’t want to waste time going to the hospital or doing a deposition.

She had been doing that and staying safe for a while.

She failed twice. The first time, her target was Zhang Yichen. She had tried to blackmail him, but he got away in the end.

Her second failure was this time and both times she had acted alone. She had tried acting alone before, but this time, she ended up having a real accident.

When she found herself flying in the air, she had finally felt fearful for her life.

Now, she looked at Su Qingsang with her eyes filled with grat.i.tude. “Doctor Su, thank you. Thank you for saving my life. I’ve heard from Director Sun that it was you who saved my life.”

“You don’t need to thank me. I didn’t save your life alone. Director Sun and some other doctors all made an effort.”

“Thank you, Doctor Su.”

Li Hong started to feel differently after the second accident. After all, she nearly died a few days ago. Moreover, these days, she had been having conflicts with her husband.

“I really want to thank you.”

She knew that if Su Qingsang wasn’t so decisive, she could have died.

“You are welcome. Just rest well and heal.” Su Qingsang glanced at the baby while speaking. “She’s out of the incubator already? Have you asked Director Sun about that? Did she agree?”

“Yes, she did.” Li Hong looked at her daughter affectionately and said, “she’s a sweetheart. All she does is eat and sleep and eat and sleep.”

The baby was so tiny. Her cries sounded like a cat meowing.

“All babies are like this.” Su Qingsang gave Li Hong’s daughter a closer look.

It had only been a few days, but the baby girl already looked so much prettier than when she was born.

She was once again tempted by the idea of having a baby. Both Li Hong and her husband were just average-looking, but their baby was so pretty.

The baby born from and Huo Jinyao and her would…

She wasn’t being narcissistic, but she honestly believed that Huo Jinyao’s children would be beautiful. She believed in that firmly.

Perhaps, she should talk to Huo Jinyao about having a baby.

“Take good care of your daughter. I’m heading back to my office.”

“Okay. Thank you, Doctor Su,” Li Hong said. After spending a few seconds thinking, she continued with an awkward look, “Doctor Su.”

“Yeah?”

“Um, if my husband says something awful to you, you should just pretend not to hear him. Don’t take his words to heart.”

“It’s okay. I understand.”

Similar things had happened when she as in Lin City. A lot of Chinese families preferred boys to girls.

Li Hong seemed a little embarra.s.sed. Su Qingsang patted her arm and said, “alright, take some rest. I was just here to check on you. I have to go now.”

Su Qingsang turned to leave, but unfortunately, she ran into Li Hong’s husband at the door. He had come to bring lunch for Li Hong.

The man stopped short when he saw Su Qingsang who was in a white coat. Soon, he recognized her.

“You? Are you the doctor who removed my wife’s uterus?”
