TO MY DEAR MR. HUO

241-245

Chapter 241: It Was Not What She Wanted

Huo Jinyao stopped talking. Su Qingsang suddenly turned to him and said, “Am I right? Are you keeping something from me?”

“How could I? I’m in front of you now. What can I hide from you?”

As he spoke, he put his arm around her waist and got her back into his arms.

“You better not be.” Su Qingsang did not like the feeling of being deceived. She felt okay about his past, but she didn’t want Huo Jinyao to deceive her now or in the future.

“I just suddenly thought that I seemed to be too merciful just now and you are still so energetic. So what if we do it again?”

“No.” Her waist felt like it was about to break. “Huo Jinyao, restrain yourself. Let’s not do it again.”

There was a hint of supplication in her voice and Huo Jinyao knew he had gone too far. He was only joking.

“Alright, you are the boss.” Huo Jinyao lowered his head and gave her a kiss on her lips. “Have a sweet dream.”

“Don’t make any noise and I’ll just fall asleep.”

She pulled his hand away as she spoke. “Stay away from me. I really want to sleep, just sleep. Is that clear?”

She was really sleepy. She felt that she hadn’t slept enough since she had married Huo Jinyao. This guy just didn’t know what “restraint” was and never let her go until she was utterly exhausted every time. He was really bad.

“All right, sleep. I swear, I promise I will not mess with you, okay?”

Su Qingsang yawned and reluctantly believed him. She was so sleepy that she fell asleep almost as soon as she closed her eyes.

Huo Jinyao watched her easily fall asleep. Arms tightened, he held her in his arms and fell asleep with the faint fragrance of her body.

It had been like this for months since they had got together. But...

Maybe Su Qingsang’s words had somewhat affected him; that night, the nightmare that had not come for so long came to him again. The most familiar scenes replayed again and again. Huo Jinyao tried to get rid of them, only to wake up gasping for air.

In the darkness, he reached out his hand to turn on the light. Familiar surroundings relaxed his mind.

The warmth on his side made him turn around and his eyes fell on Su Qingsang’s face.

Well, is that a bad thing that I should tell her about? Is it really?

Shaking his head to get rid of the thought, he hugged Su Qingsang’s waist again and let her cuddle up to him. Su Qingsang did not wake up but just adjusted herself to a relatively comfortable posture in his arms, and then fell asleep again.

She breathed long, balanced breaths, wearing a healthy red on her cheeks. He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek with his tender eyes.

Since I do not want her to know about something, I won’t ever let her know, he thought.

He fastened his arms around her waist, to make her body fit with his better.

This time, the nightmare did not come, neither did any dream.

...

Su Qingsang stayed in Rong City for a week, during which Huo Jinyao was very busy with a lot of things. She was not idle, either. She knew what Huo Jinyao thought about: he wanted her to come to Rong City. She also considered the matter seriously.
