Chapter 382 - I’ll Think Of You When I Have Time (1/2)
“That’s more like it,” Su Qingsang laughed. When she did, the corners of her eyes lit up with joy. It wasn’t hauntingly gorgeous, but it did make her already beautiful features stand out even more.
Huo Jinyao inched over and gave her a peck on the lips.
“Remember to think of me.”
Su Qingsang blinked. “Let’s see. I’ll think of you if I have time,” she teased.
Huo Jinyao pressed on the accelerator. He gave her a sideways glance, and his voice was flat as he spoke. “Don’t worry. I’ll have ways to make you think of me every day.”
Su Qingsang let out a gentle snort, expressing her disbelief. However, she could not hide the smile on her face even if she wanted to.
The winter sun outside of the car windows was perfect. She stretched out her arm and watched as it basked in the golden sunlight.
What a blessed life. She had a man she liked as her husband and a mother who loved her. If it was possible, she hoped that this wonderful life of hers would last forever.
She was thinking, there’s no reason for things to change, right?
…
Su Qingsang only found out when she was on the plane that besides her, Zuo Hongchen was among the doctors participating in this study exchange.
The moment she saw Zuo Hongchen on the flight, her first reaction was relief at the fact that Huo Jinyao didn’t know about this. Her second reaction was this: When Huo Jinyao does know about this, will he be mad?
He won’t be, will he? Even if he wanted to be mad, she was already on the plane. Right. That settles it.
“Junior, you’re here?” Zuo Hongchen stood up and stretched out his hand the moment he saw her. “Come, let me help you with your baggage.”
“Thank you very much, Senior Zuo.”
“You’re being too polite.” Zuo Hongchen was a man — he easily lifted Su Qingsang’s luggage and placed in in the overhead compartment.
“Did you rest well?” When Su Qingsang was about to sit, she found out that not only Zuo Hongchen had shown up — they were also supposed to sit next to each other.
This really wasn’t Zuo Hongchen’s arrangement, right?
As if he could see through her hesitation, Zuo Hongchen offered an explanation. “I approached the general office the moment I got the news about the exchange program and had recommended you to join too. Perhaps that’s why got adjacent seats.”
“Not a problem at all,” Su Qingsang waved him off. “It’s fine to be seated together. I have some questions to consult you about.”
“It’s way too formal to call this a consultation. If there’s anything you’d like to know, just ask.”
“Thank you, senior.”
Su Qingsang took her seat. The entire journey that followed became a professional exchange with Zuo Hongchen.
As for how Zuo Hongchen had tagged along for the exchange program, there was no need to tell Huo Jinyao.
When she thought about that man’s jealous streak, Su Qingsang’s lips curved upwards as she smiled with joy.
At the same moment, Zuo Hongchen had just emerged from the washroom when he saw the smile on Su Qingsang’s face. That was the kind of smile that would appear only when a lover or a dear one was missed.
His expression darkened as he sighed secretly. He was, as expected, too late. Su Qingsang must be having a very blessed life now, right?
…
Xiang Caiping started to busy herself the moment her daughter left.
The sweater was almost complete. It was only missing its two sleeves. She intended to finish knitting it before Su Qingsang returned.
Her daughter was craving smoked sausages and bacon and dried beef slices. That wasn’t too complicated. The weather in Lin City has been good recently. She had already thought it through — first, smoked sausages.
