Huo Jinyao turned around and looked at Su Qingsang with a smile. “Nothing,” he said. “She mistook me for someone else.”

“Brother Jinyao.” How could she mistake him for someone else? He Xuanyao stepped forward like she was trying to prove what she had said was true.

Huo Jinyao glanced sideways at her, his eyes cold as ice. It only took his face a second to go from smiling to cold.

“Young lady, please. I said I didn’t know you.

“You—”

“Xuanyao?” Qiu Junjiao had just watched everything until now and seemed to somewhat understand.

“Please leave. You have interfered with our night out.” Huo Jinyao was straightforward.

He Xuanyao had not expected that she would be received by him like this after two years of studying abroad. Eyes red, she burst into crying and ran out.

“Xuanyao—” Qiu Junjiao glanced at Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang. She followed out hurriedly, leaving Su Qingsang and looking inquisitively at Huo Jinyao.

“You really don’t know her?”

“Certainly not.” He had only worked with He Xuankai, so really he didn’t know her that well.

“Then why did she know your name was Jinyao?”

“She mistook me for someone else.”

“Yet she was so intimate? Brother Jinyao?” That had nearly given her goosebumps.

Huo Jinyao looked at her and suddenly put his face closer. “Why? You are jealous?”

“Of course not—” Why could she feel jealous?

“Not jealous. Then why does it sound like you are?”

Huo Jinyao returned to his casual manner. There was a touch of banter in his subdued voice and the smile in his eyes was huge.

Su Qingsang could not help but take a step back. She could no longer stand it when her eyes met the curious eyes of the shop assistants around them.

“I’m going to change.” She quickly went into the fitting room, only to realize that she seemed to be distracted by Huo Jinyao’s words again. This guy still hadn’t told her why the woman had known him and called him Brother Jinyao.

By the time Su Qingsang came out, Huo Jinyao had asked the shop assistant to wrap all the clothes she had just tried on.

She was really not used to this. She had not been so crazy even when shopping with Shi Mengwan. Besides, she had the same ideas about shopping as Shi Mengwan did—comfortability over the brand name.

Huo Jinyao, however, was quite interested in buying things. After shopping for clothes, he wanted to go to the shoe store.

Su Qingsang spent every day in the hospital, so she only liked to wear flat shoes. She had a few pairs of high heels, but not many. Seeing that Huo Jinyao was so interested in shopping with her, she felt that she would ruin his day if she did not go.

She forgot about He Xuanyao and, of course, shoved the little doubt back to the bottom of her heart.

…

When Qiu Junjiao returned home, she thought the rest of the Qiu family had gone to sleep. Her eyes lit up when she saw Qiu Yanbo just come in from the outside.

“Brother, did you go out with Su Peizhen?”

“Yeah,” Qiu Yanbo nodded. Su Peizhen was his fiancée, so he was supposed to accompany her places.

“Brother. Do you know who Su Qingsang’s husband is?”

Su Qingsang? Qiu Yanbo recalled that day when he saw Su Qingsang snuggle up to Huo Jinyao in his arms with a shy face.

It was hard to say what he was feeling at the moment, but he somehow managed to reply absent-mindedly, “Why? Isn’t he a clerk?”

“A clerk? Are you sure?” Qiu Junjiao thought about He Xuanyao’s reaction tonight.

“What happened?”
