Chapter 533 - Sorry I am Late (1/2)

Eyes closed, Su Qingsang could hear the sound around her clearly.
Footsteps, noises, and a small sound of the wind. She could even feel the wind of the fist throwing.
“Stop it!”
There came a cold snap. Someone pulled her body aside. The next second, she was thrown into a warm and strong hug.
Su Qingsang opened her hand, looking up along the hand on her waist.
“Jinyao?” On the phone, she told him there was no need for him to come. But when she thought she was going to be punched, how she wished him to be by her side!
“Jinyao.”
She held on his arm. Su Qingsang was about to accept the result to be punched, but at the sight of Huo Jinyao, she almost burst into tears.
“Huo Jinyao,” She had so much to say but barely uttered a word. She kept calling his name.
“I am here. I am here.” Huo Jinyao held Su Qingsang, hugging her tightly.
“Honey, I am sorry. I am late.”
He already fended off the fist that had been targeted against her. Despite the crowd around them, with his height and build, Huo Jinyao succeeded in taking Su Qingsang into his arms and protected her.
He led her to a corner in the hallway near the wall. He built a harbor for her with her in his arms, keeping all the noises and chaos outside.
Su Qingsang gripped his shirt-front, her face buried in his chest, and tried to calm down her intense agitation.
Huo Jinyao let her hold him, glancing at the people in the hallway. He squinted, eyes dwelling particularly on Lin Gang. He knew that it was Lin Gang who was going to strike Su Qingsang.
But he was not in a hurry. He would decide what would happen to him later.
Su Qingsang smelled a clean and fresh smell on Huo Jinayo. She gradually relaxed and realized that the surroundings became too quiet.
She couldn’t help but turn her face to look at what happened.
The chaos a moment ago in the hallway completely disappeared right now.
The person who was going to strike her, the journalist who interviewed her, as well as the fellows brought by Lin Gang, were all arrested.
The people who arrested them were all in green uniforms. When Su Qingsang saw clearly who led these people, she was taken aback.
Zhang? Zhang Yichen? How could he be here?
Different from before, this time, Zhang Yichen was not in the ordinary military outfit; instead, he wore a very formal uniform, and the two golden bars and four stars on his shoulder surprised Su Qingsang.
She heard from Huo Jinyao about this uncle. However, it never occurred to her that he was so young to be the senior colonel.
Now, the people he brought here were divided into two groups, easily separating the crowd.
Zhang Yichen stood in the middle of the hallway, glancing coldly at the people who were making a scene just now. “We are on duty right now. No photos.”
They are on duty? What tasks are they carrying out? Nobody dared to ask further and put down their cellphones.
Su Qingsang looked at him with eyes wide open. She couldn’t believe things turned out to be so easy. It was resolved instantly.
Lin Gang stood there. He was about to say something but closed his mouth and drew his neck when meeting Zhang Yichen’s eyes.
“Our chief is seeing the doctor here. Please keep quiet. Now, anybody who is irrelevant please leave. Thank you for your cooperation.”
The tone was polite but also tough in the way that it silenced all the journalists and “medical dispute profiteers.” These irrelevant people exchanged their glances.
They all tucked their heads and left.
Lin Gang didn’t want to leave and still wanted to make a scene, but he knew he had no advantage to control the game.
He glared at Su Qingsang’s direction, his eyes manifesting that he wouldn’t give up.
Instinctively, Su Qingsang leaned over to Huo Jinyao. She never thought she would come across a person who was so hard to deal with.
“It’s Okay.” Huo Jinyao hugged her shoulder, leaning to her ears to whisper. “Leave it to me. I’ll help you resolve it.”
Su Qingsang looked up at him with concern in her eyes. “Huo Jinyao.”
She didn’t want to drag him into this chaos. But she already incriminated him.
“Don’t worry, honey.” Huo Jinyao kissed her forehead. “Believe me; I already have a solution.”
Su Qingsang’s lips were pressed into a hard line. Rascals like Li Hong and Lin Gang would break their promises at any time even if they had agreed.
What ways could he have?
“Honey, you should learn to believe me.”
Huo Jinyao opened his mouth close to her ear. Su Qingsang looked at him and nodded.
People in the hallway were gone. Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao’s behavior was conspicuous.
Zhang Yichen just ordered his subordinates to dispel the people, and when he turned around, he saw Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao hugging.
Their behavior like there was no one else in the room made Zhang Yichen frown. But he frowned only for a second, and then he marched towards them.
This morning, Zhang Yichen met with his subordinates and received an order to take part in a military exercise.
The station troops of Rong City were carrying out a military exercise, and he was assigned to guide. Also, by this chance, he wanted his own subordinates to practice with them.
This kind of military exercise was simple for him. After the exercise, he took his elite soldiers back to their troops.
It might be a coincidence or destiny that when he passed the hospital, he saw the outside was crowded with people who were inciting disorder.
He was not the kind of person who liked intermeddling into others’ affairs, but he was worried about Su Qingsang.
Before he came into the hospital, he saw Huo Jinyao hurry out of his car.
When he found Su Qingsang was going to be punched, he scooted towards her direction.
But he was a step later than Huo Jinyao. Or, was it because he saw Huo Jinyao appear and made himself later than him on purpose?
Whatever the reason it was, Huo Jinyao stopped the fist that was coming to Su Qingsang.
Zhang Yichen was relieved, and he was happy that she was not injured.
“Are you okay?”
The simple three words hid his deep concern about her successfully. It sounded like that his inquiry was derived from the fact that she was Huo Jinyao’s wife. He simply did the courtesy to ask.
“I am fine. Thank you, uncle.” Su Qingsang recovered from the shock and realized she was in Huo Jinyao’s arms right now in the hospital’s hallway.
She blushed and disentangled herself from his arms.
“It was fine, for the time being.” Huo Jinyao held Su Qingsang’s hands. He had called the police. Obviously, the police didn’t come here as fast as Zhang Yichen. “Thank you so much for today.”
Zhang Yichen shook his head and peeked at Su Qingsang without trace. She was pale a moment ago, but her face had color now under Huo Jinyao’s consolation.
She seemed too shy to show a public display of affection with Huo Jinyao. Huo Jinyao held her hands, but she wanted to take back her hands.
But Huo Jinyao held her hands so tightly that she couldn’t break it.
She couldn’t help but look at Huo Jinyao while Huo Jinyao seemed not to notice her stare.
Finally, Su Qingsang was a little bit frustrated and scratched lightly on Huo Jinyao’s palm. Huo Jinyao, instead, held her hands even tighter.
Their interaction was subtle but intimate.
Zhang Yichen was a soldier. He had much keener observation than normal people. He couldn’t help but glance at their hands held together.
Noticing Zhang Yichen’s eyes, Huo Jinyao lifted up Su Qingsang’s hands.
“Uncle, are you jealous? If you are jealous, you’d better find your own half!”
Zhang Yichen’s lips were pursed and ignored Huo Jinyao’s words.
Su Qingsang stared at Huo Jinyao. He was really good at embarrassing people.
People were almost gone, but there were still doctors and nurses in the hallway. They had wanted to come over but failed.
Now they were divided on two sides and let people behind them walk through.
President Zhou Shaonan and other administrators heard the news, and after a long time, they came over.
Zhou Shaonan walked to Su Qingsang.
“Doctor Su, are you all right?”
“I am fine. Mr. Zhou, thank you for asking.”
