Chapter 21 - It’s Easier to Welcome Him Home Than to Send Him Away (1/2)

Su Qingsang decided that it would be best to clarify what was on her mind. “Huo Jinyao, when I asked you to marry me the other day, I was out of my mind. You helped me get out of my predicament and I’m thankful for that, but we’re not right for each other.”

She continued, “If you want a woman who will spend the rest of her life with you, who will assist you, and raise your children, I am not the right woman for you.”

“You don’t have to do those things, because I don’t need you to,” Huo Jinyao said.

“I think that after some time, we can just get a divorce. After all, when we got married yesterday, we both knew that the marriage wasn’t going to last. We are nothing more than a…” Before the words “fake couple” came out of her mouth, Huo Jinyao placed his hand on top of hers. His fingers were slender and his hand was extremely warm. Su Qingsang was taken aback by his gesture and looked up at him instinctively.

“I won’t get a divorce,” Huo Jinyao stated firmly. His response left Su Qingsang speechless for a moment.

“You…”

“You are my wife and we are married. So, we won’t get a divorce,” Huo Jinyao interrupted.

Su Qingsang didn’t know how to respond to that. At that moment, Huo Jinyao looked like a completely different person; his eyes seemed sincere and he looked unusually serious, and…

Huo Jinyao’s stare startled Su Qingsang a bit, but before she could pull her hand away, he let go of her first. “Besides, I’m unemployed now and I’m counting on you to be the breadwinner.”

Huo Jinyao couldn’t stay serious for more than a few seconds and his expression changed back to a playful one. “Besides, you said that I helped you out a lot. So don’t even try to drive me away.”

“You…” This man is just too much, she thought.

Su Qingsang had no idea what to say. She felt a little nervous under Huo Jinyao’s intense stare. Who knew this guy just pretended to be serious?
