Chapter 82 - Sweetheart, Are You Mad? (1/2)

Chapter 82: Sweetheart, Are You Mad?

Huo Jinyao sensed that something was wrong with Su Qingsang, who kept her head down after coming out of the bathroom. Something seemed to be on her mind.

“What is it, sweetheart?” Huo Jinyao came up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

As soon as he approached, Su Qingsang recalled their entanglement of the past few days and dodged him subtly.

“Nothing.”

“You aren’t happy?” He hadn’t annoyed her, had he?

Huo Jinyao once again reached out to her shoulder.

“I’m gonna be late for work.” Su Qingsang pushed his hand away. Her obvious resistance left Huo Jinyao speechless for a second, but just for a second.

“Sweetheart, are you mad?”

“No.”

“You’re lying.” Huo Jinyao blocked her way. “You are mad.”

“Huo Jinyao.”

Su Qingsang realized this morning that she had been getting more and more indulgent of Huo Jinyao. She had begun to accept his existence and the changes in her surprised and even scared her a little.

She had been used to staying settled, in a circle that she was safe inside. Huo Jinyao was now the biggest variable in her life and he made her feel unsafe.

“Sweetheart, tell me. Why aren’t you happy?” Huo Jinyao reached out his hands and wanted to hug her. How could Su Qingsang let him do that, though?

“I’m really not unhappy.” She stepped back and looked at Huo Jinyao. “I’m gonna be late for work.”

She tried to pass by Huo Jinyao but was blocked again. “You haven’t had breakfast yet,” he said.

Su Qingsang turned her to look at the table, where there were all kinds of food Huo Jinyao had bought. Whenever he slept at home these days, he would go out to buy breakfast.

She pursed her lips into a straight line, but could not refuse his nice gesture in the end. Not only did she eat the breakfast he bought, but she also let him drive her to work.

She sat in the car and looked outside the window silently. The passing traffic stream somehow caused her mood to swing.
