TO MY DEAR MR. HUO

381-385

Chapter 381: My Mother Is Not Your Mother

“I got it.” Su Qingsang’s face was a little red. She leaned closer into Huo Jinyao’s chest. “Don’t you worry. I am not the type of person to subject myself to the short end of the stick.”

If she were that type of person, she would not have defended herself when Li Qianxue came looking for her.

“Is that so?” Huo Jinyao did not quite buy her words. Based on her personality of preferring to keep peace and avoid conflicts, she must have gotten her fair share of grievances when she was living in the Su Family.

Let bygones be bygones. In the future, Huo Jinyao would never allow her to suffer any more pain.

Su Qingsang buried her face in his chest, inhaling the masculine scent that emanated from his body. Out of the blue, she started to laugh.

“What are you laughing about?”

“It’s nothing.” Su Qingsang was thinking about the look on Li Qianxue’s face when she was infuriated with her yesterday. “Actually, I did fight back yesterday.”

It was just that her act of defiance was not obvious.

Meeting Huo Jinyao’s searching gaze, she told him about the gift she had casually given away yesterday.

Her laugh had a bit of smug satisfaction. She resembled a little fox that had gotten away with a deed of mischief. “I assume that all through her life, she had never received such a casual gift.”

Huo Jinyao took a minute to imagine Li Qianxue’s expression at the moment of receiving the gift and then he looked at Su Qingsang, who had no intention of hiding her amusement.

He reached out to pinch her cheek. “Look at you.”

“You also think that it’s hilarious, right?” Su Qingsang stuck out her tongue. “Will you stop being mad now?”

He was never mad. He was just slightly bothered by the fact that she had kept him in the dark about certain information. He swept her up stealthily. His voice was very soft.

“I’m still mad, very mad. If you do not wish me to be mad, you should do something to appease my anger.”

The look of smug satisfaction on Su Qingsang’s face disappeared at once. “There is no need for that, right?”

“What do you think?” Huo Jinyao had no intention to let her off the hook. “You have worn the kitten costume, but not the little rabbit’s one. Try it on today.”

“Stop that.” Su Qingsang suddenly became terrified. “My waist is still sore from last night.”

Huo Jinyao gave her a grieved look; the expression on his face seemed to be one of disappointment. “You should take better care of your health, darling.”

“My health is fine.” Su Qingsang intensified her tone of plea the instant her body came in contact with the bed. “It’s just that you’re too capable.”

Huo Jinyao supported his own weight with one hand as he looked at Su Qingsang’s pleading expression.

He suddenly recalled how Xiang Caiping had hummed and hawed to him about how he should practice some form of restraint, and also told him about how Su Qingsang is in a poor physical condition, and might not be able to endure their throes of passion with such intensity.

“Are you really tired?”

“I am really tired.” Su Qingsang was biting her lips and looked serious about negotiation. “Will tomorrow do?”
