Chapter 462 - She’s His Mistress (1/2)

Su Qingsang screamed and dodged nimbly.

Huo Jinyao would not let her get away so easily. As a northerner, he was much swifter than Su Qingsang was.

He threw three snowballs in a row. Su Qingsang only managed to dodge one of them. The other two both hit her.

She refused to admit defeat. Hiding behind the fountain, she made another snowball and launched a counterstrike. However, the snowball missed Huo Jinyao and hit Li Qianxue.

Su Qingsang immediately felt embarrassed. She stood frozen, not knowing where to put her hands.

“It’s okay.” Li Qianxue was happy to see her daughter acting like a carefree child.

To make Su Qingsang feel less awkward, she even made a snowball herself and threw it at Su Qingsang.

That made Su Qingsang feel relieved. But as she paused, Huo Jinyao threw a few more snowballs at her.

She was irritated. She grabbed a handful of snow and rushed at Huo Jinyao.

On the other side, Li Qianxue clapped her hands and brushed the snow off her body. After that, she turned and found Old Master Li looking at her. That made her feel slightly embarrassed.

“Dad.” Old Master Li had always wanted her to be a fair lady. Throwing a snowball at someone was not something that a fair lady would do.

“This is good.” Old Master Li patted her hand and said, “Don’t look at me like that. I now understand that you can cultivate a good relationship. Qingsang is a good girl, but she hasn’t opened her heart to you yet. You should spend more time with her. In time, she’ll know how much you care for her.”

“Hmm.” Li Qianxue nodded. That was what she had been thinking about.

Old Master Li was certainly aware that Su Qingsang had never become close enough with him and Li Qianxue. He didn’t say that out loud, though.

That was also the reason why he had agreed to come to Rong City with Li Qianxue. He intended to build a better relationship with his granddaughter by spending more time with her.

“Don’t worry. Qingsang is a good girl. She will grow close with you slowly.”

“I know, Dad,” Li Qianxue said, looking at Su Qingsang. Huo Jinyao had hit her a few times, but all her snowballs had missed their target. Su Qingsang was so annoyed that her face reddened.

Huo Jinyao stopped to comfort her, but he didn’t know that Su Qingsang was only pretending to be angry. When he came closer to her, she threw a snowball right at his face.

Watching the snowball hit Huo Jinyao, she chuckled happily.

The wind sent her chuckle to Li Qianxue’s ears. Li Qianxue chuckled too. She was still young. There would be time. She had endless patience.

Li Qianxue wasn’t the only one who saw Su Qingsang having a snowball fight with Huo Jinyao. Someone else saw them, too.

“Stop the car.”

Liu Lexian put a hand on his chin, signaled to the driver to stop the car, and rolled down the car window.

The driver was his friend Shen Zhishang. The weather was cold. The wind blew into the car, and Shen Zhishang tensed.

“What are you doing? Close the window.”

“That’s Huo Jinyao, isn’t it?”

Shen Zhishang glanced at that person and said, “I think that’s him. What is he doing here? Doesn’t he need to work today?”

“Who knows? Who’s that woman? Isn’t he married?”

Huo Jinyao had almost gotten married secretly. Earlier, he had taken Su Qingsang back to Rong City, stayed only a few days, and left again. Therefore, Liu Lexian hadn’t met Su Qingsang yet.

“Let’s go take a look.” After spending a short while staring at Huo Jinyao, he abruptly glanced at Shen Zhishang.

“What are you gonna do?” Shen Zhishang watched him open the door. “Oi, this area doesn’t allow parking.”

Liu Lexian walked quickly toward Huo Jinyao as if he couldn’t hear his friend at all.

Su Qingsang had played with Huo Jinyao for quite a while and was tired. At the moment, she was resting in Huo Jinyao’s arms, trying to catch her breath. The cold air made her cheeks red.

“You are such a liar,” Su Qingsang complained. “You’re awful.”

She only pretended to be angry. Unlike her, Huo Jinyao had pretended to be injured. As a result, she had walked over to him with concern and gotten hit by several snowballs in a row.

“Darling, I’m touched that you care so much about me.”

“Who cares about you?” Su Qingsang gave him a gentle slap, still feeling unhappy about losing the fight. “I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m going to find my mom.”

Li Qianxue and Old Master Li weren’t as active as the two young people. They found a cafe and went in to get some rest.

“All right.”

“Cousin?”

Hearing that voice, Huo Jinyao erased the smile on his face and turned to look at Liu Lexian.

“Hey, cousin, what a coincidence. What are you doing here?”

Liu Lexian had a big grin on his face. Su Qingsang found his expression weird for some reason. The first thought that popped into her mind was that she did not like this man.

Huo Jinyao didn’t answer Liu Lexian’s question. He responded to him with a bland, “Eh.”

Liu Lexian didn’t mind his cold attitude. His eyes landed on Su Qingsang in a meaningful way.

“This is…”

Since Huo Jinyao was already married, he assumed that Su Qingsang was his mistress. She was pretty.

“She is your cousin-in-law,” Huo Jinyao said coldly, putting on a slightly displeased look.

“C-cousin-in-law?”
