Chapter 378 - You Are Not Lacking Anything (1/2)
Su Qingsang was stumped at what Huo Jinyao had said. She rubbed the tip of her nose and lifted the edges of her mouth in slight embarrassment as she faced Huo Jinyao.
“You are not lacking anything, hence I don’t know what I should give you.”
“Su Qingsang,” Huo Jinyao was infuriated by her words. “What do you mean I’m not lacking anything? You mean you don’t have to buy me any presents just because I am not lacking anything? Don’t tell me that the people in your department actually need these things? Or maybe Su Yuxin does?”
No matter what, he was her husband and their relationship was more intimate than anyone else’s relationship with her. However, what was the bottom line? Everyone else had received a present, and he was the only exception. He was the only one who got nothing.
Su Qingsang saw that Huo Jinyao was truly agitated and her voice immediately became softer. “That is a wholly different matter.”
“What is the difference?”
“Their relationship with me is not the type of relationship that we have with each other.”
Huo Jinyao’s expression turned a few shades darker because of what she had said. He had no intention to let her off the hook just yet. “What is our relationship? Could it be that in your heart, you feel that the relationship between you and Su Yuxin is more intimate than ours?”
If she dared to affirm that, Huo Jinyao was definitely going to do what it took to make her know that their relationship was substantially more intimate and deeper than her relationship with Su Yuxin.
“I did not mean it that way.”
Huo Jinyao got up and then stretched on the bed again. He had the air of wanting nothing to do with her.
Su Qingsang bit her lip. She watched as he fumed and sat down on the edge of the bed.
She reached out to touch Huo Jinyao’s arm. Unexpectedly, he completely ignored her and turned his back to her.
“You’re really mad at me?”
“Yes.”
“You’re very angry?”
“I am extremely angry.”
Since his back was facing her, Su Qingsang was not able to see the expression on his face. After giving it some thought, she moved towards him and kissed him on his cheek.
“How about that? Will you be pacified now?”
“No, not at all.”
Huo Jinyao spoke these words without any change in his expression.
“Then, what about this?” Su Qingsang once again moved towards him and kissed his lips.
“That won’t do.”
If Su Qingsang were not able to see that he was doing this on purpose, it would have meant she didn’t know her husband at all.
The edges of her cherry lips rose. She did not attempt to kiss him again. Instead, she placed a hand on his arm.
“I said that our relationship is different from my relationship with them because our relationship is more intimate. Since it is more intimate, it doesn’t matter if I have a present for you or not; our relationship will still stay the same. However, it’s different from my relationship with them. My relationship with them can be strengthened with the help of gifts. Ours doesn’t need it.”
Huo Jinyao did not turn to face her, so she did not know if his anger had dissipated or not.
“I really did not overlook you on purpose. I did not know what present to get you.” She did not have much experience in being in relationships with men. That was a fact.
With regard to money clips and belts used by ordinary men, those that Huo Jinyao used were always customized. If she had bought any of those items in Japan for him, she was afraid that he would think they were not good enough for him.
“I need a present. I really need it.” Huo Jinyao still refused to turn to face her. “As long as it is from you, even if it were a blade of grass, I would still want it. Can’t you do that for me?”
“I can. But what if I had really forgotten to get you a gift? What will you do?”
“What can I do? Anyway, I am really mad right now. I’m not happy at all.”
Huo Jinyao was not willing to let the matter rest. Su Qingsang gazed at his back and said his name again. Huo Jinyao still did not turn to face her.
