To My Dear Mr. Huo

“I’m all right. Of course, I’m all right.” Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang and told her to eat breakfast first. “Jinyao said he had business to do in his office early in the morning, so he didn’t wait for you.”

 Su Qingsang nodded. She had felt him get up in the morning. She had been so sleepy that she had continued sleeping.

 She sometimes envied Huo Jinyao for his physical strength. No matter what time he went to bed at night or how many times he did it, he would always be as fresh as a daisy the next morning.

 “Eat.” Xiang Caiping took out breakfast and Su Qingsang found that, in addition to the dark shadows, her eyes were also a little swollen.

 She cried last night? Likely.

 The sudden encounter with Su Chenghui had probably been a great shock to her. It was not strange that she lost sleep. Seeing her this way, Su Qingsang felt distressed and struggled a little.

 Once she ate more than half of the porridge in front of her, Su Qingsang asked Xiang Caiping tentatively, “Mom, would you like to go back to Rong City?”

 “Back to Rong City?” Xiang Caiping’s face suddenly changed. “You, you want me to return to Rong City?”

 “Not you, we.” Su Qingsang explained quickly in fear that she would misunderstand. “Actually Huo Jinyao asked me to go to Rong City with him before. I was not willing to go because I worked here and there were no friends or relatives in Rong City. I don’t want to stay in Lin City, we can go back to Rong City. Jinyao is from there himself.”

 Xiang Caiping was relieved to know that she did not want her to leave. “I don’t mind. Qingsang, now I have you. Wherever you are, I’m with you.”

 Su Qingsang nodded, knowing that this was the best result. She continued to eat, without asking about Su Chenghui.

 Whether or not Xiang Caiping was willing, Su Chenghui was married. They could not be together now, so why should she stay here and add to her sorrow by seeing him from time to time?

 After breakfast, Su Qingsang carried her bag and went to work. Before leaving, she said, “Mom, if you feel bored at home, go out for a walk.”

 “I’m okay. I’m not bored.” Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang and said, “I bought wool yesterday. I want to make you a sweater.”

 “You can watch television, go out for a walk, or go dance with others. Don’t get too tired.”

 “Don’t worry, I won’t. I just want to get busy.”

 In fact, she had sat home alone for a day in Rong City before. Now that she had a daughter, she always felt like doing more things for Su Qingsang.

 “All right, I’ll go to work first.”

 Xiang Caiping cleaned the table after Su Qingsang left. In fact, Huo Jinyao had said several times that they could hire a cleaning lady to do it all, but Xiang Caiping had not done anything for her daughter. She felt more than happy that she could do something for her now. Why would she ever feel tired?

 She had just finished and was about to take out the wool when she heard the doorbell ring.

 When she saw Su Chenghui standing outside, Xiang Caiping wanted to shut the door without any hesitation. Su Chenghui was faster and squeezed through the door.

 Xiang Caiping was furious at Su Chenghui. She pulled the door open and pushed him out hard.

 “What are you doing out here? Get out! You are not welcome here! Get out! Out!”
