TO MY DEAR MR. HUO

441-444

Chapter 441: He Got Off Too Easily

“That’s it. You don’t have to be concerned about her. As for keeping your mother happy, that would be quite simple. You just have to stay and keep her company, and she would be quite gratified.”

Huo Jinyao’s words caused Su Qingsang to grow silent because while it all was reasonable, her heart just could not accept it.

“Huo Jinyao.” She suddenly took another step closer to him, reaching out and holding his hand in hers. “You said that I wouldn’t be going back with you. Would Grandpa be really upset about that?”

Old Master Huo was a very good person. Su Qingsang didn’t want to disappoint the old man.

“Of course not. You can rest easy. He’d still have me.”

There would surely be some discontent. They were just married and did not make it back for the New Year, and now they weren’t even able to go back to celebrate the festivities.

Not to mention that they had initially planned to be there. This time, she was afraid that Liu Tongjia and Huo Mingguang would both be unhappy.

Su Qingsang couldn’t be quite at ease, but Huo Jinyao’s repeated assurances made her somewhat less worried.

Huo Jinyao looked at her and couldn’t help but tousle her hair again. “In the end, you’re always a doctor. You just love to worry. Everything is fine. You’ll have me no matter what.”

“Mm.” Su Qingsang nodded. “When you go back, remember to tell her as gently as you can.”

They both knew perfectly well who ‘her’ referred to. Huo Jinyao resisted the urge to tease her again. “Oh, you. Could you stop being worried about these things?”

Su Qingsang stopped talking. It was true that she did tend to overthink a bit too much.

“You can relax. I will leave the story for you to tell. I’ll just say that there was a problem with the patient you were consulting at the hospital today. Would that work?”

Su Qingsang was not sure whether Xiang Caiping would believe this. However, this type of white lie was really the best way to go for now.

“Thank you, Huo Jinyao.”

Huo Jinyao stepped forward and planted a kiss on her lips. “It’s all good. I’ll reserve all the thanks to cash in for the future.”

Su Qingsang blushed immediately. Being teased by Huo Jinyao like that allowed all her other worries from before to disappear in a puff of smoke all of a sudden.

After sending Huo Jinyao off, Su Qingsang turned and walked back, only to find that Li Qianxue had been standing at the door and looking at her from afar.

As she turned around, she saw that her face wore a look of embarrassment, but at the same time she seemed finally at ease.

Su Qingsang had seen that look on Li Qianxue’s face before. This tugged at her heartstrings, and her steps quickened a little.

“Mom, it’s really windy outside. Why did you have to come out here?”

“It’s alright. I just wanted to see you.”

Su Qingsang’s eyes were stinging again, but she did her best to suppress that feeling.

She stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Li Qianxue. “Mom, you had better look at yourself than at me. You’re much more beautiful than I am, after all.”

Li Qianxue’s mood finally lightened.

“Who said so? My daughter is the prettiest.”

Old Master Li was waiting in the living room like before. In fact, he and Su Yuxin were just as worried as Li Qianxue. They were afraid that Su Qingsang was going away.
