Chapter 43: Suspicion

Su Qingsang didn’t pay any attention to Huo Jinyao at all. When she saw Zuo Hongchen, she remembered the time she first entered the hospital, as an intern.

Time passed by faster than anybody knew. She had graduated from graduate school in the blink of an eye and Hongchen was about to get his Ph.D.

She was so busy feeling sentimental about the past, that she didn’t notice that Huo Jinyao was smiling because she hadn’t tensed up.

Zuo Hongchen obviously saw the smile on Huo Jinyao’s face as well and, for some reason, he thought it was an eyesore.

In addition, Su Qingsang’s reaction made him feel even worse. The man was tall and handsome and his wife was elegant and lovely. It did not feel good make him feel good to see her standing by Huo Jinyao’s side.

He didn’t want to keep looking at them so he went into the restaurant first.

A group of people entered the restaurant and Su Qingsang asked Huo Jinyao if they could sit in a reserved room, but Zuo Hongchen rejected that idea. He said that he liked to people watch. When everyone around him his black hair and his skin color, he felt that he really was back in China.

A number of people were seated in the big dining room outside and the server came to deliver tea, water, and menus.

Huo Jinyao picked up a menu and leaned his body towards Su Qingsang. “Qingsang, how’s this?”

“It’s fine as long as you like it.”

“Why should it be what I like? Of course, it should be what you like.”

As Huo Jinyao spoke, he placed an arm around Su Qingsang’s shoulders and was once again delighted to see that she didn’t tense up.

Although Su Qingsang’s body didn’t tense up, she still felt uncomfortable.

Her superior was sitting right across from them. What was Huo Jinyao doing?

She lifted her head to see Zuo Hongchen staring at her with a playful expression.

This made her blushed even harder.

“Senior, you should order then.”

Zuo Hongchen also had a menu in his hand and, after Su Qingsang had spoken, he helplessly threw up his hands and said, “I haven’t been in this country for a while. I want to eat all of the specialty dishes on here.”

“Then let’s order all of them.” Huo Jinyao was very bold and he didn’t even care that there was only three of them.

He ordered seven to eight dishes and two soups and handed the menus to the server.

His actions made Su Qingsang give him a sidelong glance. Isn’t he unemployed? Why did he gift presents yesterday and how is he spending money so carelessly today?

He will probably starve to death before he can find a job if he’s spending money so carelessly like this.

Zuo Hongchen stared at Huo Jinyao.

His father was chief at the hospital and he was a doctor who had come into contact with a lot of wealthy people.

Some people and some things were easy to see.

Zuo Hongchen stared at Huo Jinyao as he picked up his cup to drink tea and said, “Where are you positioned at, Mr. Huo?”

Huo Jinyao responded calmly. “I’ve just resigned.”

He was not the least bit embarrassed to be unemployed.

Zuo Hongchen was a little surprised and he turned around to look at Su Qingsang, only to find that she was not affected at all.

“Qingsang, you won’t get tired of me, will you?” Huo Jinyao stretched out his arm to hug Su Qingsang’s shoulders, but Su Qingsang felt very uncomfortable, especially since Zuo Hongchen was sitting across from them.

She wanted to push Huo Jinyao’s hand away, but she was afraid that it would hurt his pride so she stood up and said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

Su Qingsang left Huo Jinyao and Zuo Hongchen staring at one another.

Zuo Hongchen stared at Huo Jinyao; he did not give off the air of being jobless. Not only did he seem to be employed, but he was also confused at the playful front that Huo Jinyao had put up. How could Su Qingsang have taken a liking to a man like him with her personality?

He was wondering if he should ask Su Qingsang about how they had met when a surprised voice rang out. “Master Huo?”
