Chapter 72: Feeling Kinda Weird
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Huo Jinyao looked an entirely different person than his usual, care-free self. Su Qingsang was so curious that she even shook off her tiredness and went out onto the balcony.

Huo Jinyao tilted his head, but he had no idea that Su Qingsang was approaching him.

He received the news he was getting on the phone with a cold expression. He was clearly annoyed.

In a low tone, he uttered, “We will not give them any leeway. If they don’t agree, we will just work with another group. Then they might realize how much they lost.”

He paused as the person he was talking to responded. Then he said, “Don’t try to use her to suppress me. If you guys want to work for her, go for it. I don’t mind.”

After he said this, Huo Jinyao saw Su Qingsang pull the door open and get onto the balcony.

He was stunned for a second. Then, instinctually Huo Jinyao hung up.

“You got up?”

“Yep.” Su Qingsang said, in an almost husky tone. She realized why her voice sounded weird and it made her blush.

“Who were you talking to?” Trying to avoid remember what she had done with Huo Jinyao last night, Su Qingsang changed the subject.

“Oh… Just my colleague.”

“Your colleague? Why were you angry?”

She hadn’t heard the conversation very clearly, but Huo Jinyao’s expression, which she had seen through the glass door, had been very telling.

“It was nothing.” Huo Jinyao replied, in a relaxed tone. “Something about a contract. Something I can handle easily.”

Su Qingsang didn’t know much about business, so she didn’t want to get involved whatever this issue was. “Well, that’s great then.”

Actually, Su Qingsang wanted to tell him she would help him in any way she could if he needed it. Thinking, however, that she probably couldn’t help him with his business, Su Qingsang refrained from making the offer.

Huo Jinyao idly put his smartphone into his pocket and approached Su Qingsang. He held her waist.

“You care about me?”

A dull ache throbbed in Su Qingsang’s waist. When she was held by him, Su Qingsang almost felt as if she could not stand up steadily by herself.

“Get off.”

“Don’t you care about me?” Noticing Su Qingsang was avoiding answering him, Huo Jinyao kissed her instead of acting disappointed. “My wife is so nice. I’m so touched by the way that she cares about me.”

The expression on Su Qingsang’s became a little awkward. How could this guy always be so shameless?

“I don’t.”

“It seems like you are satisfied with my display last night. You care about me so much. I’m so touched.”

Huo Jinyao’s audacious words stunned Su Qingsang.

He is so brazen! I don’t care about him! Moreover, why is he so sure I was satisfied with his performance?

“Go away, I was not that satisfied.” He almost broke her waist he grasped her so tightly. Where did she get the courage to say that?

“You were unsatisfied with that?” Huo Jinyao asked, with an almost weird expression on his face. “Well, if you were unsatisfied with that, we should do it again. I believe that I can satisfy you easily this time.”

“Huo Jinyao.”

Su Qingsang couldn’t stand him anymore. She had never met as brash a person as he was. “Are you getting off me or not?”

“Don’t be angry.” Huo Jinyao knew he should quit while he was ahead. Seeing Su Qingsang’s unhappy expression, he decided to ask her. “Honey, are you hungry? You haven’t eaten food yet. What do you want to eat?”

His words made Su Qingsang even angrier.

Because she didn’t want to give him the satisfaction, she ate nothing.

Being scorned by Su Qingsang, Huo Jinyao bowed his head. “It’s getting late. What about ordering some takeouts?”

Su Qingsang couldn’t disagree because she didn’t have the strength to go out.

They sat on the couch while they were waiting for the takeout.

Huo Jinyao held Su Qingsang in his arms and put his lower jaw into her shoulder.

Unaccustomed to this, Su Qingsang tried to avoid his jaw.

“Don’t touch me.”

Huo Jinyao stared at Su Qingsang, with an innocent expression on his face. “Ok, I won’t.”

Instead of touching her, he kissed her. Tightly clenching her teeth, Su Qingsang breathed deeply to calm down. She persuaded herself not to care about him.

Thinking about the conversation between Huo Jinyao and his colleague, Su Qingsang tried to change the subject. ” By the way, aren’t you supposed to be on a business trip, signing a contract? Out of curiosity, what’s your company’s business dealing with?”
