Chapter 510 - I Won’t Ask If You Don’t Want to Speak (1/2)
Su Qingsang looked up at him, her eyes glowing brightly. If there were a moonlight that could light her eyes, Huo Jinyao would see himself in her eyes.
Even without the moonlight, Huo Jinyao knew that her eyes were full of him.
He was touched but didn’t respond to her question.
“Huo Jinyao, I won’t ask if you don’t want to speak. But I want you to know that we are a couple. Since we are a couple, we are no longer two, but one. You can at least try to tell me.”
He tried to believe her and could try to tell her about his troubles and his worries. She might be unable to resolve the issue, but he would feel better if he shared his problems.
Huo Jinyao’s response was to reach out and hug her tightly.
Ms. Yu’s voice came from the kitchen, saying that the dinner was ready. Su Qingsang patted Huo Jinyao’s shoulder. “Come, let’s have dinner.”
Huo Jinyao released her, staring at her beautiful face. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently.
“Don’t worry, I am fine.”
Su Qingsang didn’t believe his words. However, since that was what he insisted, she had no choice but to accept it.
A feeling of disappointment arose from her heart. As to Su Qingsnag, she was a blank paper in front of him.
No matter whether it was her birth history or her thoughts, everything was under his control; he knew everything about her.
Nevertheless, she felt that Huo Jinyao harbored some secrets. He was unwilling to share with her his worries, which upset her.
She thought that maybe he chose silence because he couldn’t explain to her about his business, and even if he did explain, she might not understand.
The little discomfort was buried in the deep of her heart, like a seed.
…
Huo Jinyao looked at the person who handed the documents to him. He glanced at her. Her name was Ding Qing. She was the new secretary and a temporary substitute for Zhang Yang.
She had graduated from MIT, which was very impressive. She also had a beautiful resume. How did such a talented person come to Tianyu Group and work as a secretary?
It didn’t mean that the position of secretary at Tianyu Group was not competitive. Given Ding Qing’s resume, she could have nailed a better position elsewhere.
But Huo Jinyao had watched the recording of her interview and listened to her reason for applying for this job.
She had said that her mom was not feeling well, so she wanted to come back home and spend more time with her. Another reason she gave was that Huo Jinyao once cooperated with the company she had worked for previously.
She liked the working style of Huo Jinyao and his company, and she wished to learn more things from working here.
During the past week, she had done a great job at her work.
She did not only complete the tasks assigned by Yang Wenchang, but she could also arrange the other things well without Yang Wenchang’s direction.
Usually, Huo Jinyao didn’t hire a female secretary but based on her past week’s performance, Ding Qing’s strong ability persuaded him to keep her.
Ding Qing stood there, looking nervous. Eyes fixed on Huo Jinyao, her voice was strained as she asked the question.
“Mr. Huo, is everything correct with the document?”
“Yes,” Huo Jinyao said, signing the document. Then, he gave it to her. “It’s two days before Zhang Yang temporarily stops working. Let him make sure that the handover shifts well.”
“Okay, I know. Zhang Yang has told me what to do.”
With a smile on her face, she clasped her documents against her bosom. She seemed to do it unintentionally, putting the documents one or two inches lower than her breast.
It showed her attractive cleavage, and her breasts were squeezed over her sternum.
Huo Jinyao didn’t notice it, but Ding Qing looked at Huo Jinyao’s eyes with concern.
“Mr. Huo, you don’t look very well. Did you not sleep well yesterday? Do you need me to bring you a cup of coffee?”
“Okay.” Huo Jinyao hadn’t slept well last night. Because of Micah’s words, he began having nightmares again.
He rubbed between his eyebrows and asked Ding Qing to leave.
Ding Qing was back within a few minutes, with a cup of coffee. There was also a piece of cake in her hands.
“Mr. Huo, it’s not healthy to drink coffee with an empty stomach. Please have a cake.”
Huo Jinyao cast his eyes on Ding Qing, who looked calm.
“Mr. Huo, please take care of yourself. I am looking forward to learning more from you.”
Huo Jinyao saw her frankness, and without thinking further, he said, “thank you, but I don’t like cakes.”
“I see,” said Ding Qingsang, looking frustrated. “But I saw a box of desserts in your office that day.”
“My wife bought it for me.”
His meaning was obvious. Since Su Qingsang had bought it for him, he would eat it, even if he didn’t like it.
But Ding Qing was not worthy of that. His words were of clear indication, but Ding Qing didn’t feel offended. Instead, she stuck out her tongue.
“Sorry, Mr. Huo. I don’t know.”
“It’s okay. You can remove the cake.” Huo Jinyao looked down, focusing on the documents in front of him.
Ding Qing took the cake, looking upset about her mistake.
However, when she turned around, the self-accusation in her eyes disappeared immediately. ‘He would eat it just because his wife bought it for him?’ she thought.
She would wait and see if Huo Jinyao would eat the cake the next time she gave it to him.
…
Huo Jinyao was out of the shower, with a towel on his head. He rubbed his hair with the towel casually, and then he sat at the dressing table, waiting for Su Qingsang to dry his hair.
He was going to be disappointed. Su Qingsang was having a video call with Li Qianxue.
