Chapter 495 - Did You Do Anything Evil That You Felt Sorry for Me? (1/2)

He saw at her with a questioning look. Su Qingsang seemed to ignore the look on his face but said peacefully, “I saw this suit while shopping and thought it would suit you, so I bought it.”

Su Qingsang planned to go straight home when she came out of the apartment where Zhang Yichen and his friends stayed in. However, she thought of the bloodstain on her clothes and decided to buy some new clothes to change into.

After shopping for herself, she passed by Versace and saw that leisure suit in the window.

She liked it at first glance, because of its design and color.

She didn’t know much about fashion brands, and she knew that almost all of Huo Jinyao’s clothes were custom-made. However, that didn’t quench her impulsion to buy that suit for Huo Jinyao.

Detecting the excitement in Su Qingsang’s eyes, Huo Jinyao started to put the suit on while cracking a joke to Su Qingsang.

“As the famous saying goes, anyone who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. Darling, did you do anything evil that you felt sorry for me and bought this suit?”

Su Qingsang reached out and grasped Huo Jinyao’s shirt-front.

“Yeah, I did something really bad. I was on a date with a man just now. After that, I was worried that you might find out, so I bought you a suit to make you happy.”

Was he the only one who knew how to talk nonsense? No, she could do that too.

Huo Jinyao paused briefly, then leaned toward her. He stared at her face and said, “are you mad? I was kidding.”

“I’m serious,” Su Qingsang said, looking at him and blinking. She never seemed serious. “I was really out with a man earlier. We spent two hours together in a room.”

“Darling, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have suspected you.” Huo Jinyao looked at her, kissed her on the cheek and then quickly put the suit on.

He was six-foot and sixteen inches tall, and his upper body was shaped like an inverted triangle. Any suit would look perfect on him.

The royal blue suit made him look especially energetic. Su Qingsang took a step backward and landed her eyes on Huo Jinyao.

“I have a great taste, don’t I?”

“Of course you do,” smirked Huo Jinyao. He didn’t care if the suit was comfortable to wear or not. All he cared about was Su Qingsang’s kindness. “Thank you, darling.”

“You’re welcome.” Su Qingsang gave a small smile and said, “I did something that made me feel sorry for you, so I surely needed to be nice to you.”

“Darling.” Huo Jinyao put an arm around her waist, easily lifted her and said, “I told you that I was kidding.”

“I was kidding too.” Su Qingsang was going to tell Huo Jinyao about what had happened earlier, but since Zhang Yichen asked her not to, she decided to keep it a secret.

She didn’t know much about what happened in the military, but she was aware that there were rules in the army. She hesitated for quite a while but decided at last that she wasn’t going to tell Huo Jinyao about what had happened earlier that day.

…

Su Qingsang wasn’t expecting to see Zhang Yichen in the family house again in the near future.

February had begun. The weather in Rong City grew warmer and warmer. It had been a week since Su Qingsang helped that ‘friend’ of Zhang Yichen.

That day, Zhang Yichen was wearing a military uniform, looking especially different.

Because of the uniform, Su Qingsang couldn’t help but give him a few extra glances.

Zhang Yichen was very good-looking too, but in a different way from Huo Jinyao. He had relatively masculine facial features, with heavy eyebrows and large eyes. Doubled with his tall and strong body, he looked impressively dashing.

In that military uniform, he even looked like a thriving pine tree. As some people said on the internet, all the handsome men had been serving the country nowadays.

He was indeed a very handsome serviceman.

When Su Qingsang looked at Zhang Yichen, he was looking at her too. While making eye-contact, he nodded at her slightly as a form of greeting.

Su Qingsang considered that as a friendly move. After all, she had dealt with his friend’s wounds for him before.

She quickly turned her eyes away from him, then sat down in front of Old Master Huo together with Huo Jinyao. Soon after they sat down, Liu Tongjia and Huo Mingguang came downstairs.

Despite the bad relationship between her and Liu Tongjia, Su Qingsang still stood up to greet them.

The way Su Qingsang had addressed Liu Tongjia was a little embarrassing. She should by right be calling Liu Tongjia ‘Mother,’ just like how Huo Jinyao did, but Liu Tongjia apparently wouldn’t like that.

Su Qingsang had lived in Rong City for quite a while already but still, she never called Liu Tongjia ‘Mother’ even once.

She called her ‘Aunty’. Upon hearing that, Zhang Yichen couldn’t help but have his eyes linger on Su Qingsang’s face for a few extra seconds.

Neither did Su Qingsang nor Huo Jinyao notice that, but Liu Tongjia did. Her face grew even more sullen than before because of that.

During dinner, Su Qingsang found Liu Tongjia looking even more unhappy. She looked as if someone had done something to displease her.

The unhappiness on Liu Tongjia’s face grew very obvious when she looked at Su Qingsang. She landed her dagger eyes on Su Qingsang. Those eyes of hers were filled with unconcealed discontent, and something else more sinister.

Apart from Su Qingsang, even Old Master Huo and Zhang Yichen had noticed that excessively obvious look in her eyes.

“I’m full.”

Liu Tongjia put down her chopsticks and left after having very little food.

Su Qingsang grew a little nervous. She couldn’t help but look at Huo Jinyao and ask him about what was going on using her eyes.

Huo Jinyao responded to her with a glance and signaled to her that everything was fine. It wasn’t the first day that Liu Tongjia didn’t like the two of them.

Su Qingsang couldn’t stop worrying, but it wasn’t the right time for her to ask Huo Jinyao any questions out loud.
