Chapter 578 - You Will Cause Trouble For Her (1/2)

Huo Jinyao’s voice was cold. He had never treated Zhang Yichen with this kind of hostility before.

Regarding the incident that day, he knew clearly that Zhang Yichen was an innocent party.

But he couldn’t help wondering about how Liu Tongjia found out about Zhang Yichen’s hidden feelings.

Zhang Yichen must have revealed something unknowingly.

At a time and place that he did not know, Zhang Yichen and Su Qingsang must have been overly intimate with each other, and Liu Tongjia happened to see it.

It made Huo Jinyao feel exceptionally uncomfortable just thinking about that.

He was not a petty man, especially since Zhang Yichen was more than just an uncle to him.

To Huo Jinyao, Zhang Yichen was a mentor and a friend.

Zhang Yichen held a significant portion of his heart and he had never thought that his relationship with him would ever be torn apart by a woman like this.

His voice turned colder as he became more upset and disappointed.

“Haven’t you thought about how much trouble you will cause for Qingsang?

“If Qingsang did not get away in time that day? If the person who had drugged you, had gotten everyone to come and see? If someone had caught you and Qingsang in the act of doing anything—”

Huo Jinyao felt suffocated just thinking about it.

Even if he was willing to believe in Su Qingsang, even if he was prepared to support her…

What else would Su Qingsang have to face in the future?

“Uncle, you can defend yourself, but what will you do about Qingsang? Don’t forget that she is your niece-in-law.”

Zhang Yichen remained rigid and still as Huo Jinyao continued to speak. After all, what Huo Jinyao had said was irrefutable.

“We— We did not have any intimate contact with each other. But we happened to meet each other in the back garden twice, and someone probably saw it.”

Zhang Yichen looked at Huo Jinyao and said, “I am sorry. I will take note of my behavior from now on. But I think you know that the Huo Family is not as peaceful as you thought it was.”

He could probably guess who was the one plotting against Huo Jinyao, and he believed that Huo Jinyao knew the culprit very well.

“It’s my problem, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Even though the one he was speaking to was Zhang Yichen, Huo Jinyao was still unable to admit that it was Liu Tongjia who did it.

No matter how bad Liu Tongjia was, she was still his birth mother.

Despite his refusal to say who did it, Zhang Yichen would probably have his own speculations about the matter, so there was no need to discuss who did it at all.

Zhang Yichen took a step back. “Yes, it’s not up to me to worry about the rest of this matter.”

He had come intending to explain himself today, but it seems like he had made a wasted trip after all.

“If there’s nothing else, then I will make a move first.”

Zhang Yichen looked at Huo Jinyao once more, as if he was worried that Huo Jinyao still couldn’t be at ease about this matter, he assured him sincerely,

“Back in my army unit a few days ago, I agreed to take on a mission. So, I will not be back in Rong City any time soon. Don’t worry.”

“Uncle, you’ve got it all wrong. There’s nothing I need to be worried about.”

Zhang Yichen had a slight bitter look on his face. Yeah, the relationship between him and his wife was so good that there was really nothing to be worried about.

As he turned away, his retreating steps weren’t as relaxed as when he came.

He stopped when he was at the door.

“Jinyao. Sometimes, I really envy you. You are a very lucky man.”

Not just anyone can call such a clever and special woman like Su Qingsang theirs.

“Thank you. I do think that I am quite lucky too.”

Huo Jinyao openly admitted to that statement. Half a year ago, if he hadn’t been at the hospital where Su Qingsang was working, or if he had not stopped for a moment to see what all the commotion was about…

He believed that he would have been as lucky as he was now.

Zhang Yichen left with a bitter taste in his mouth. Of course, good luck was not handed out to everyone, one could only encounter it when the time is right. It was not something that could be sought after and obtained.

Su Qingsang’s smiling face appeared in his mind. He closed his eyes and suppressed those emotions deeper into the recesses of his heart.

Su Qingsang glanced over at Huo Jinyao who had just got off from on top of her. He had been much more “aggressive” than usual.

It was just like the period after the first time they had sex when there was an eager and burning desire in his expression of love for her.

She had not seen Huo Jinyao acting like that in these recent months.

“Jinyao?” She was about to ask him if something happened at work, or if Liu Tongjia did anything again to instigate him.

But Huo Jinyao turned over, got on top of her again, and kissed her.

He squeezed her tight, pulled her into his arms, and had sex with her again.

Her body started moving on its own, in sync with him, and she took in everything he gave her.

He was a little heavy-handed today, and he hugged her tightly in his arms. He lowered his head, continuously kissed the corners of her lips, her cheeks, and down the sides of her ears.

“Darling, you’re mine.

“Dear? My dear wife… Tell me that you’re mine.

“Dear, can you feel it? I am the one with you right now.”

Before Su Qingsang could give him a suitable response, he kissed her lips and spoke softly into her ears once more,

“Dear… Tell me, who am I?”

“Huo Jinyao.”

Su Qingsang was clenching her teeth, panting hard when she said his name.

Her consciousness was wavering. Her fringe was drenched in sweat. Huo Jinyao behaving like that made her felt a little overwhelmed.

“Darling. Who is Huo Jinyao?”

Su Qingsang felt herself slipping far away from her. The feelings he unloaded onto her were too intense and she needed time to get used to it.

She had not expected Huo Jinyao to ask such a question at a time like this.

“Huo Jinyao is you. You, you’re my husband.”

Huo Jinyao seemed satisfied with that response. Over and over again, he made Su Qingsang repeat what he wanted to hear.

They had sex until she couldn’t take it anymore and she passed out briefly, exhausted from all the pleasure he had given her.

Huo Jinyao carried her to the bathroom and changed the bedsheets while she took a bath. Finally, he helped Su Qingsang dry herself and brought her back to the room.

Su Qingsang felt more awake after her bath. She wanted to say something but Huo Jinyao hugged her tightly.

“I’m sorry. I was a little out of control today.”

He shouldn’t have acted this way toward her. If he really believed in Su Qingsang, he should not be this worried about losing her.

But after listening to what Zhang Yichen said and knowing that Liu Tongjia knew about Zhang Yichen’s amorous feelings for Su Qingsang…

He couldn’t help but need some concrete reassurance from Su Qingsang to soothe him, even if his fears were only anxious thoughts.

Su Qingsang’s hands and limbs were limp. She looked at Huo Jinyao and shook her head gently.

“I’m okay. But are you alright?”

Huo Jinyao did not respond, instead, he carefully wrapped his arms around her.

Zhang Yichen had gone back to the army today. He left after they spoke.

He knew that Zhang Yichen was a man of his word. Since he had said that he would not return to Rong City any time soon, it meant that he would not be around for a long time.

But this did not mean that Zhang Yichen’s feelings for Su Qingsang would disappear just like that. It just meant that he would probably try to suppress his feelings much deeper inside him and hide it that much more relentlessly.

From a man’s point of view, he couldn’t fault Zhang Yichen for liking Su Qingsang.

There was nothing wrong with liking someone. Zhang Yichen was just as human, unable to help but have feelings for another person.

But as Su Qingsang’s husband, Huo Jinyao was couldn’t stop worrying about it or care less about it.

It didn’t feel good to know that another man was lusting after his wife.

Furthermore, someone else had found out about it, and the person was Liu Tongjia—

Liu Tongjia had been rather quiet of late. Huo Jinyao did not know if it was because his words were effective, or if it was the fact that after he exposed her ploy, Liu Tongjia had not yet found a new way to deal with Su Qingsang yet.

No matter what it was, he believed that this peace was only temporary.

Based on Liu Tongjia’s deep-seated resentment of him, it was very likely that she would make another move in a few days when she was once again not in a good mood.

If Zhang Yichen had not given up by the time he returned, and if he did not restrain himself… Their families were related to each other after all.

Liu Tongjia would probably do something about it again. She did not like Huo Jinyao no matter what and she hated him all the more, now that Su Qingsang was with him.

What should he do, if she disregarded his warning and insisted on proving the relationship between Su Qingsang and Zhang Yichen?

Liu Tongjia was still his mother no matter what.

He relaxed his raised eyebrows and tightened his arms around Su Qingsang’s waist.

“Let’s sleep.”

“Jinyao?”

“Don’t worry. It’s nothing serious. I will get over it.”

He thought that maybe he should talk to Liu Tongjia again, or was there something more he could do to ensure that Liu Tongjia would not hurt Su Qingsang again?

Su Qingsang lifted her head to peer over at him. She did not miss the mixed feelings that flashed across his features.

She couldn’t help but think about Liu Tongjia.

Maybe there was something she could do to help.
