Chapter 311: I’m Fine, Really

Huo Jinyao hugged Su Qingsang tightly. Due to everything that she had experienced during her childhood, her heart had been tucked under layers of thick ice.

On the surface, she might seem like she had accepted him, but he knew that she was still pretty reserved about him deep down. Just like how she was still unable to address Xiang Caiping as her mother.

Even in bed, she was reluctant to call him her husband. She even rarely called him by his name.

In her heart, she had always distanced herself from everybody else.

“I’m really fine.” As Huo Jinyao refused to release her, the only thing Su Qingsang could do was push herself away from his embrace. “Look, I grew up despite having nobody to celebrate my birthday. It’s just a birthday — it doesn’t matter whether or not it’s celebrated.”

Huo Jinyao remained silent. He only kept staring at her.

“Stop looking at me like that.” Su Qingsang felt a little uncomfortable under Huo Jinyao’s gaze. “It’s late. Let’s sleep.”

“Okay.” Huo Jinyao nodded. He didn’t seem to be in a rush to remove Su Qingsang’s clothes anymore.

He held Su Qingsang in an embrace, closed his eyes, and slept. It was a restful night.

…

Although Su Qingsang had agreed to attend Su Peizhen’s birthday party, she wasn’t thinking of standing out. Therefore, she didn’t even prepare something to wear. She simply thought of heading there after work. However, before she was off her shift, Huo Jinyao was already there to pick her up.

He first went to Director Chen to request for his wife to take the rest of her day off, then walked Su Qingsang out of there.

“What are you doing?”

Su Qingsang only knew what Huo Jinyao was up to when she arrived at the place. Those were the people from the last banquet — people whom Huo Jinyao had hired to get her style and makeup done.

Contrary to the white gown she donned last time, Huo Jinyao picked out a red dress for her this time.

The light and silky material fit perfectly against her body, advantageously showing off her beautiful silhouette. She looked both sultry and elegant in red.

Besides pairing the dress with a set of ruby accessories even more luxurious than what she had worn before, Huo Jinyao also brought her wedding ring. He slipped it on her finger.

Su Qingsang looked at the pigeon-egg-sized stone on her finger. For a moment, she worried her finger would break.

“This stone is real, isn’t it?” He lied to her and said it was fake last time, saying something along the lines of it being imitated jewelry.

“Mmhmm.” Huo Jinyao nodded in awe and approval when he saw his wife’s final look. “Perfect.”

Su Qingsang looked at the mirror for a bit before averting her gaze from it. “Are you taking me there to crash the party or something?

“No.” Huo Jinyao linked his arm through hers and led her out. “I just want your father and Mrs. Su to take a look at what they’ve failed to appreciate.”

This wasn’t the first time Su Qingsang heard Huo Jinyao’s painfully blunt tongue, but he seldom spoke so ruthlessly. Fine. This actually felt good.

The car stopped outside of the Su family’s mansion. The party was about to start. Many guests had already arrived.

Su Qingsang leaned back in the car and took a deep breath. “Huo Jinyao, I was thinking… it’s probably better if I head back and change.”

Su Peizhen was the star of this party, and it wasn’t polite to take away her spotlight. Furthermore, she was already not in Su Peizhen’s good books.

“My wife.” Huo Jinyao squeezed her hand. “I hope that you’ll always keep this in mind.”

“What is it?”

“You’re no longer just some illegitimate child from the Su family. You’re my wife. The wife of Tianyu Group’s Director-General.”

After he said that, he wasted not a moment longer for Su Qingsang to regret her choice. He got down and went to the other side of the car to open the door for her.

“Let’s go, Mrs. Huo.”
