Chapter 596 - : That Man Made Him Jealous (1/2)

Su Qingsang wasn’t in the hospital. He couldn’t contact Su Qingsang, and he didn’t know whether she was alive or dead.

Every piece of news stimulated Huo Jinyao’s nerves, especially when he found out that Su Qingsang went out to buy clothes. He really had the urge to slap himself.

When Su Qingsang was packing her luggage, he should have told her to bring more clothes instead of telling her to buy them when she came to C City.

And now, she was the only one in trouble.

C City was so big, and there were so many department stores. Huo Jinyao had no idea which department store he was going to look for Su Qingsang in.

At that moment, he thought of Zhang Yichen.

He knew that Zhang Yichen’s unit was here. It would be much easier for him to look for someone than for him to look for someone himself.

But when he contacted Zhang Yichen’s unit, he found out that Zhang Yichen wasn’t in the unit. Not only was he not in the unit, he seemed to have also encountered an earthquake.

Huo Jinyao had a bad premonition. That premonition came mostly from the inexplicable feeling that Zhang Yichen and Su Qingsang had encountered an earthquake at the same time.

Su Qingsang had been out of contact for two days and two nights.

From the moment Huo Jinyao received the news to the two days when Su Qingsang was out of contact, Huo Jinyao felt as if his heart was being scratched by someone.

He couldn’t calm down at all. He couldn’t calm down at the thought that something might happen to Su Qingsang.

He had no choice but to look for his great-aunt, Huo Yangxiu. Huo Yangxiu was also anxious because Zhang Yichen was among the people who were in trouble.

Who was Zhang Yichen? He was the youngest son of the military commander and was already a senior colonel’s man.

The last news Huo Yangxiu received was that Zhang Yichen was trapped in Chunhui department store.

There were three Chunhui department stores in C City. Which department store Zhang Yichen was last in was unknown.

The phone signal was out. Only when the communication was restored did they start to locate Zhang Yichen’s location.

Huo Jinyao’s heart skipped a beat when he found out that Zhang Yichen was in the department store. He trusted Zhang Yichen and Su Qingsang.

He believed that the two of them wouldn’t have any interaction. It wasn’t until he got the exact news that Zhang Yichen was buried in a department store.

He rushed there immediately. He didn’t know why he rushed there. He believed that Zhang Yichen couldn’t be with Su Qingsang.

But when he really found Zhang Yichen, Huo Jinyao could only rejoice.

He was glad that Zhang Yichen was with Su Qingsang at that time.

He would never forget what he saw at that time, that scene, and…

“Jinyao?”

Not understanding why he was in a daze again, Su Qingsang glanced at Huo Jinyao.

Huo Jinyao recollected his thoughts and met Su Qingsang’s clear eyes. The corners of his mouth twitched.

“What’s wrong?”

“I –” Su Qingsang had woken up now, so she naturally remembered something. “I remember I was with uncle at that time. How is he?”

Su Qingsang was very grateful to Zhang Yichen. If he hadn’t arrived in time and used the door to shield her, she might have been smashed to death.

One should be grateful. It was a fact that Zhang Yichen saved her.

“He’s fine.”

Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang’s face and asked the question that had been bothering him.

“Why were you with Uncle?”

Su Qingsang had just woken up and suffered a blow to the back of her head. At the time, she thought she was fine, but in reality, she wasn’t.

She wasn’t very alert at the moment, so she didn’t catch the hint of jealousy in Huo Jinyao’s words.

“I was going to buy some clothes. Uncle just happened to come to the hospital to visit a pregnant woman. He said he was familiar with C City, so he gave me a ride.”

Huo Jinyao didn’t say anything. He just held Su Qingsang’s hand. “Uncle came to the hospital to visit a pregnant woman?”

Su Qingsang nodded. She thought of Chen Yi and suddenly sat up again. “How are Director Sun and the others? Are they alright? And Chen Yi, and –”

“That’s enough. Don’t worry about the others for now.”

Huo Jinyao held her hand and pressed her back down. “You’re very weak now. What you need to do is to rest well. Are they all alright?”

“All of them? Dr. Sun, Ling Fei, Dr. Chen, and Dr. Li are all fine?”

“They’re all fine.”Huo Jinyao nodded. “When the earthquake happened, Dr. Sun and the others were at the clinic on the first floor. They ran outside as soon as the earthquake happened, so they’re all fine.”

“That’s good.” Su Qingsang breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Dr. Sun and the others were all fine. “Where are they now?”

“There were a lot of casualties. They’re all going to help out now.”

Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang and suddenly held her gently in his arms. “Qingsang, no matter where we have this kind of learning exchange in the future, don’t go, okay?”

Su Qingsang could understand what he meant even though he didn’t say anything else.

She had only gone out twice in total, but encountered a mudslide and an earthquake. Her luck couldn’t be any worse.

“How could there be a next time?” Su Qingsang had the same thought, but she really didn’t think that her luck would continue to be so “good”. “It’s just a coincidence, it’s a small probability.”

“I don’t care. You’re not allowed to go again.”

“Okay. Next time, I’m not going anywhere except for further studies. Is that okay?”

“Further studies won’t work either.” Huo Jinyao couldn’t describe how he felt when he found out that Su Qingsang was in the middle of an earthquake.

He didn’t want to experience that feeling ever again in his life.

Su Qingsang looked at him with a helpless smile on her face.

She was still a little out of it, so Huo Jinyao got up and brought a bowl of congee from the side.

“This is all we have now. It’s simple congee boiled with water. Make do with it.”

There were still aftershocks from time to time, and there were still many disaster victims who hadn’t been properly settled.

Huo Jinyao had brought these over. This congee could be drunk with boiling water, but the taste couldn’t be compared to the congee at home.

“How could I care about that now? It’s already good enough to be able to eat.”

She was indeed hungry. She looked at Huo Jinyao as he brought the porridge over. “By the way, how many days has it been since the earthquake?”

“Today is the third day.”

The fourth day? Su Qingsang blinked. “Then, how many days have I been trapped in there? How come I don’t remember?”

“Two days.” Huo Jinyao felt really scared when he said that.

“You were trapped for two days. After we rescued you and confirmed that your life wasn’t in danger, we placed you here. After you were rescued, you slept for an entire day.”

Su Qingsang nodded. She wanted to ask more questions, but Huo Jinyao had already started feeding her porridge.

She had no choice but to eat it first. The porridge didn’t taste very good, but at this time, under such conditions, Su Qingsang couldn’t be picky.

After finishing the bowl of porridge, Huo Jinyao put the bowl aside.

“Is there anything else you want to eat? I’ll get Yang Wenchang to do his best to send it over.”

The first batch of supplies were all instant noodles, bread, biscuits, and the sort. It would take some time before they could eat warm rice.

“It’s okay. I understand.”

Su Qingsang waved her hand and listened for a while. From time to time, she could hear sirens and the sound of people coming and going outside.

“Where are we now?”

“The empty space outside the hospital. They’re all temporary tents.”

“How’s the hospital? Can’t it be used?”

“Of course not. The aftershocks are still happening. It’s too dangerous to stay inside.”

Su Qingsang pursed her lips. “Are the casualties very serious?”

“Yes. “Huo Jinyao nodded. The statistical data had already counted hundreds of people. There are still missing people as well.

Su Qingsang was in a bad mood, and Huo Jinyao didn’t know what to say.

In the face of such a disaster, manpower was too trifling.

“Huo Jinyao, I feel terrible.”

For those who left the world, those who went missing, and those who were injured.

“I know.” Huo Jinyao wasn’t in a good mood either.

He was born into a wealthy family. The kidnapping when he was young had tormented him.

It was also the first time he had seen such a miserable scene.

“I’ve already sent another batch of supplies over. However, we can’t help with the rescue for the time being. They’re more professional than us. Don’t think too much about it. Rest well. You’re still very weak.”

Su Qingsang looked at him and nodded heavily.

It was windy and rainy outside, but the inside of the small tent was a small world of its own.

Su Qingsang leaned her face against Huo Jinyao’s chest. Her eyes were a little moist. She survived. She thought she was going to die, but she survived.

But there were some people who weren’ot as lucky as her.

“Huo Jinyao.”

“Yes?”

“I sent you a message. Did you see it?”

“No. But I found your phone. It’s over there, but its battery is dead. What did you send?”

“Huo Jinyao. Let’s go back and have a child.”

Huo Jinyao froze for a moment. He looked down at Su Qingsang, and she happened to look up at him.

Her eyes were slightly watery. There was a lot to say.

“Didn’t you say we’ll talk about it later?”

“But I don’t want it to be any later.” Su Qingsang bit her lip. “I almost died this time. When I was dying, I was thinking that I haven’t given birth to a child for you yet.”

She wrapped her hands around his waist and rubbed her small face against his chest. “At that time, I felt really regretful and remorseful. If I had a child, then if I wasn’t around, then…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Huo Jinyao covered her lips.

“There won’t be such a day.”

Looking into Su Qingsang’s eyes, he leaned over and kissed her on the eyelids.

“Qingsang, there won’t be a day like that. I won’t let you leave me.”

“But…”

“There are no buts,” Huo Jinyao said firmly. “You’re you, and the child is the child. No one can replace you. Even the child you gave birth to for me is the same. I don’t need anyone else. I only need you.”

Su Qingsang’s eyes reddened again. She blinked and resisted the urge to cry.

After being married to Huo Jinyao for a year, these were the most touching romantic words she had ever heard him say.

“But, I want a child. One that belongs to me and you.”
