Chapter 607: The Death Of Two Lives In One Fell Swoop

The restaurant was decorated in a Southern style and appeared especially exotic. Su Qingsang and Xiang Caiping were sitting opposite each other by the window.

The waiter brought the menu over. Su Qingsang asked Xiang Caiping to order, but she wasn’t in the mood. She waved her hand and pushed the menu back to Su Qingsang.

Su Qingsang didn’t refuse. She ordered a few dishes that Xiang Caiping liked.

She had unintentionally revealed these likes when she was in Lin City. As for Su Qingsang, she still remembered it.

Xiang Caiping sat there without moving. Because of Su Qingsang’s actions, the words that she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. She couldn’t say them.

“How have you been lately? You went to C City before, an I only heard about the earthquake there later. I was very worried about you. I tried calling you, but I couldn’t get through. I only heard that you were fine after I went to your hospital.”

After sitting for a while, Xiang Caiping finally spoke. Her words were filled with concern for Su Qingsang.

“Yes. Yes, I almost died in the earthquake.”

Su Qingsang didn’t hide anything. Truthfully, if it wasn’t for Zhang Yichen, she would have died long ago. Now that she was fine, she could laugh about the experience that day.

Xiang Caiping knew that it was no trivial matter. She heard that hundreds of people died this time. Thousands of people were seriously injured.

“It’s good that you’re okay now. It’s good that you’re okay.”

“Yeah, it’s good that you’re okay.”

They then fell silent. Su Qingsang felt a little sad. She knew clearly why Xiang Caiping came, but she couldn’t take the initiative to say it.

Xiang Caiping wanted to say something, but she hesitated. In the end, the waiter began to serve the dishes, but she didn’t say what she wanted to say.

None of them felt at ease during the meal, until most of the dishes on the table were taken care of, and Su Qingsang was so full that she put down her chopsticks. Xiang Caiping still didn’t say what she wanted to say.

“Auntie, if there’s nothing else, I’ll send you home. It’s getting late.”

“Huh?”

“Go home. It will be late if you don’t go home. Auntie Zhao might be worried about you by then.”

“Oh, okay.”

Xiang Caiping nodded and followed Su Qingsang into her car.

The night was getting darker. Su Qingsang felt Xiang Caiping’s gaze before she could speak.

“Aunt, is your waist better? You haven’t experienced any pain recently, right?”

“No, no.” Su Qingsang gave Xiang Caiping the physical therapy device. Xiang Caiping used it persistently, so she really hadn’t had any pain recently.

When she thought of this, her expression became complicated again.

“That’s good.”

There was another period of silence. Xiang Caiping couldn’t say the rest of her words because of Su Qingsang’s concern.

The person who committed the crime was Su Peizhen. If the police was able to lock her up, it might be because she had really done something wrong.

Since that was the case, what was the use of her looking for Su Qingsang?

Su Qingsang continued to struggle internally until her car stopped at the entrance of the villa. Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang and finally got out of the car without saying a word.

Su Qingsang turned the car around. She originally wanted to leave just like that. However, when she saw Xiang Caiping standing there and watching her car without moving, she was moved.

“Auntie.” Su Qingsang stuck her head out.

“Yes?” Xiang Caiping took a step forward.

“Auntie, you’re here alone. If you need anything, you can look for me. If you have any difficulties, you can also look for Jinyao.”

She actually knew that Huo Jinyao didn’t intend to let Su Peizhen off this time, so she was just saying things.

“If I can’t solve it, I believe he should be able to solve it.”

Huo Jinyao could solve it, but the point was, Huo Jinyao wouldn’t help Xiang Caiping.

Su Qingsang couldn’t bear this, so she nodded at Xiang Caiping and started the car.

Xiang Caiping was a smart person, and she instantly understood what Su Qingsang meant.

She knew why she was looking for her today, and she understood what she wanted to say, but there was nothing she could do.

Xiang Caiping simply stood there. Summer had arrived. The wind wasn’t cold, but she felt waves of coldness.

This time, was she really going to let Su Peizhen go to jail?

..

Su Qingsang was still in a bad mood after she returned home. She couldn’t bear to think about Xiang Caiping.

What did Xiang Caiping do wrong? She wasn’t the cause of all this tragedy, but Xiang Caiping was the one who bore the brunt of it.

By the time she entered the house, Auntie Yu had already tidied up the house and left.

Huo Jinyao had also returned and was making a phone call in the living room. Upon seeing her enter the house, he said a few words and hung up.

Su Qingsang changed her shoes and walked over to Huo Jinyao’s side to sit down.

He put his phone aside and looked at her complexion. “Have you eaten? Are you too tired? You don’t look well.”

Su Qingsang shook her head and reached out to hug Huo Jinyao. However, the moment her body touched Huo Jinyao, she froze.

“Honey?”

Su Qingsang didn’t move. Her nose moved. It smelled like perfume. She seemed to have smelled it before.

She recalled that she had smelled it on Huo Jinyao when he came home that night.

The scent was so faint that Su Qingsang almost ignored it.

But this time, she was sensitive enough to smell it. It was stronger than the last time. If she guessed correctly, it was the scent of a woman’s perfume.

“Qingsang?”

Huo Jinyao called out to her again. Su Qingsang sat up straight and her gaze fell on Huo Jinyao’s face.

She tried to find a trace of guilt or some other emotion on his face.

But she didn’t find it.

“You –”

“What’s wrong with you?” Huo Jinyao saw her expression and reached out to touch Su Qingsang’s forehead. “Are you really not feeling well? Do you want to see a doctor?”

“No need.” Su Qingsang reflexively avoided Huo Jinyao’s hand and sat back a little.

She scratched her head and finally decided to trust Huo Jinyao.

“Did you have any business entertainment today?”

Su Qingsang actually knew that Huo Jinyao usually had a lot of business entertainment. However, because he realized that she didn’t seem to like such environments and occasions, he purposely reduced them.

However, when she wasn’t aware of it, the places that Huo Jinyao went to usually weren’t that simple.

Putting everything else aside, Huo Jinyao going to Charm of Night was a typical example, not to mention that he also had Cheng Xianyun, Wan Xianyang, and the others by his side.

Su Qingsang could understand if he accidentally got perfume on him because the other party had business entertainment.

“Not today.” Huo Jinyao scooped her back into his arms as he spoke. He looked at her face and said, “If I had business entertainment, how could I have gone home so early?”

No business entertainment? Su Qingsang couldn’t help but look at him again. “Then, was there anything special?”

“There was one thing.” Huo Jinyao remembered that Su Qingsang was an obstetrician. When he came back earlier, he had wanted to ask Su Qingsang about this.

“What?”

“Is there a problem with a woman’s mood fluctuating greatly and getting sleepy very easily due to pregnancy?”

Su Qingsang blinked. She didn’t expect Huo Jinyao to ask her such a question.

“Or because she’s pregnant, she’s often sleepy, and her body is weak, as if she could faint at any moment?”

Huo Jinyao looked at her intently, as if he was asking for her advice seriously. Su Qingsang’s lips moved a little, but she still spoke in the end.

“When a woman is pregnant, her hormone secretion will be out of balance. Then, at this time, the pregnant women will experience some changes. Just like what you said earlier, it’s normal for her to have frequent mood swings and get sleepy easily.”

“Is it normal for her to want to sleep every now and then?”

“It’s normal for her to feel drowsy and weak. It’s normal.”

I see. Based on what Su Qingsang said, Qi Xiwei’s condition was normal. However, her complexion clearly looked so pale.

Huo Jinyao wanted to ask more, but Su Qingsang looked at him and asked tentatively, “Is anyone around you pregnant?”

“Yes, there is one.”

Huo Jinyao nodded and briefly explained Qi Xiwei’s symptoms.

“She seems to have been like this recently, so I’m asking you.”

Su Qingsang bit her lip and nodded lightly. She already understood. Huo Jinyao probably went to see the pregnant woman today.

Since she was pregnant, it meant that she had a family, so it was unlikely that she had anything to do with Huo Jinyao.

“She seems to be very different. I didn’t talk to her for long, but she said she was tired and wanted to sleep. In the end, she couldn’t stand properly when she stood up. I thought that maybe one day, I could introduce you two to each other, and you could help examine her.”

“Okay.” Su Qingsang didn’t object, but she had a rough idea why Huo Jinyao smelled like perfume.

“This pregnant lady, is she your friend?”

“She was my classmate.” Huo Jinyao didn’t hide anything. “She was my classmate when I was studying abroad.”

“I don’t see people with her symptomns often. How about this, you ask her to come to our hospital, and I’ll give her a detailed examination.”

“Okay.”

Thinking of Qi Xiwei’s pale complexion, Huo Jinyao nodded. Then he thought of the favor he owed Qi Xiwei, and his expression became more worried.

Su Qingsang looked at him, then suddenly clasped his face as she met his eye.

“Huo Jinyao, this female classmate of yours, was she perhaps your ex-girlfriend or secret admirer?”

Huo Jinyao frozee. When he met Su Qingsang’s overly serious gaze, he suddenly smiled. His large hands wrapped around her waist and he pulled her into his embrace.

“Are you jealous?”

Su Qingsang blinked. “I’m just asking. You just have to tell me yes or no.”

“What if I say yes?” There was faint mirth in his eyes. “If I say she’s my ex-girlfriend, what would you so?”

“Nothing. It’s up to you.”

“Up to me?”

“Yes.” Su Qingsang nodded and poked Huo Jinyao in the chest. Her voice was soft, and her expression was calm. But her voice was full of warning threat.

“If you don’t have feelings for her anymore and only care about her out of friendship towards a former classmate, then I’ll do my best to help her check up and protect her pregnancy.”

“What if it’s not?”

“If it’s not, then if you’re already married but still can’t forget about another woman, then I’ll have to be more ruthless.”

“More ruthless? How so?” Bringing her body closer to his, Huo Jinyao’s hand tightened slightly.

“That’s hard to say. For example, a mistake could result in the death of two lives in one fell swoop.”

When Su Qingsang said that, her eyes were already filled with faint mirth.

Huo Jinyao knew her character. She was able to treat even those who made things difficult for her with a smile.

Now that she said such harsh words, not only didn’t it make him think that she was cruel, but Huo Jinyao actually thought that Su Qingsang mannerism was a little cute.

“Mhm. The death of two lives in one fell swoop? How cruel. I’m so scared.”

“Mhm. Are you scared now?” Su Qingsang reached out and pinched Huo Jinyao’s cheek lightly. “That’s why I said, don’t fool around outside. After all, you have a wife who’s a doctor. Do you understand?”

“I understand.” Huo Jinyao liked her sauciness. It had been a long time since he last saw her like this. Huo Jinyao held her hand and kissed her lightly on the lips. Huo Jinyao’s voice was exceptionally gentle.

“Don’t worry, there aren’t many women who I’m interested in fooling around with. Satisfying you alone is already enough. I won’t think of satisfying another woman.”

This person wasn’t serious at all. Su Qingsang raised her hand and gave him a smack on the shoulder.

“Enough. What nonsense are you spouting?”

What did he mean by saying that satisfying her alone was enough to deal with? He spoke as if she was a horny woman. It was really overboard.

“Isn’t it true?” Huo Jinyao pressed her down on the sofa as he spoke. His hands rested on both sides of her shoulders.

“Or do you think I can’t satisfy you? If that’s the case, then I’ll have to prove it to you.”

He lowered his head and kissed her lips gently. Bit by bit, he deepened the kiss.

Su Qingsang was so dizzy from his kiss that she forgot what she wanted to say and her original mood.

It wasn’t until Huo Jinyao tore off her clothes that she felt the coolness from the air conditioner. She suddenly pushed Huo Jinyao away.

“Wife?” Huo Jinyao was just in the middle of his peak when he was suddenly pushed away and almost fell off the sofa. This made him look at Su Qingsang rather resentfully.

“Huo Jinyao.” Su Qingsang sat up halfway and looked at his obviously displeased expression. She quickly said, “Auntie came to look for me today.”

Huo Jinyao blinked his eyes, and the look on his face receded a few degrees.

“She begged you? You agreed?”

Su Qingsang shook her head quickly, and the expression on her face was still as pained as ever.

“She didn’t say anything. We had a meal together. She never mentioned anything about Su Peizhen. Later, I sent her home.”

If Xiang Caiping had really mentioned it, she would have felt more comfortable and at ease.

However, Xiang Caiping didn’t mention it. Su Qingsang knew what it meant, and so did Huo Jinyao.

Huo Jinyao turned over and sat down beside her. He tore off his tie and threw it to the side.

He wrapped his arms around Su Qingsang’s waist again and let her sit on his lap.

“Don’t blame yourself. Don’t feel guilty. This has nothing to do with you.”

“I know.” Su Qingsang nodded. She leaned against Huo Jinyao’s chest and rubbed her face against it. “I understand the reason. I don’t want to sympathize with Su Peizhen. I just feel sorry for Auntie.”

For Xiang Caiping, having a daughter like Su Peizhen was practically worse than not having had a daughter at all, wasn’t it?
