To My Dear Mr. Huo

“I really don’t have any particular preference.”

Being an illegitimate daughter, Su Qingsang was not used to having the right to think about her own interests. Right then, she was not in the mood to think about it.

“Wife, are you all right?”

Su Qingsang shook her head. She thought about Zhang Mei, the pregnant woman who was admitted to the hospital that day.

Zhang Mei had accidentally fallen while she was on the bus. When her husband and mother-in-law found out, they criticized her and did not care about her physical condition.

Su Qingsang had been working in the hospital for quite some time now and it wasn’t the first time she had seen such a thing. Nonetheless, she still felt uncomfortable every time such a situation arose.

Do women exist solely to give birth?

“Wife?” Hao Jinyao asked again when he got no response.

Su Qingsang turned to look at him and suddenly thought of the contraceptive pills in her bag. “Huo Jinyao, what would you think if I don’t want to have children?”

For some reason, she felt nervous asking him.

Children? Huo Jinyao hadn’t thought about this before.

“Doesn’t matter. If you don’t want to have kids, then don’t have them.”

“Really?”

“Of course.” Huo Jinyao stretched out his hand and rubbed her head. “Isn’t there a saying like that. ‘I’m a woman and I get to choose when to have kids?’”

“Puff.” Su Qingsang was almost choked on her saliva. “Where did you get that from?”

“On Women’s Day this year some female colleagues in our company called out slogans. They feel so stressed out that they don’t want to have a second child.”

Su Qingsang nodded and her mind was clear. Despite being able to have two children now, many people choose not to.

“You pay much a lot of attention to your female colleagues? There are some that are quite beautiful, aren’t there?”

Su Qingsang joked, but Huo Jinyao quickly raised three fingers and swore, “Definitely not. None of those women are as beautiful as my wife.”

“Yeah, keep lying.” Su Qingsang knew herself well and her appearance was just above average.

“It’s true. You know I’m not working in that company anymore.”

Su Qingsang said, “So you mean that you quit because there were too few beautiful women in the company. Does the new company have more pretty girls?”

Huo Jinyao was speechless. Looking at Su Qingsang’s smile, he moved closer to her.

“Wife, are you jealous?”

“Who’s jealous?” She would never get jealous over such nonsense.

“Wife, don’t be jealous. In my heart, my wife is the most beautiful. The other women are no match for you.”

“Smooth talk.” She could not deal with him like this.

“Wife, I’m not being glib. Look, I’m not being a smooth-talker.”

As he spoke, he intentionally moved closer to Su Qingsang as if he wanted her to verify that he was being sincere.

Su Qingsang couldn’t stand him anymore.

“Hurry up and drive, do you want us to get home at midnight?”

Huo Jinyao quickly started the car. Before stepping on the accelerator, he gave Su Qingsang a big kiss on the cheek.

“Wife, rest assured that you are the most beautiful.”

Su Qingsang couldn’t bear it and turned to look at the street outside the window. Her raised lip betrayed her, however, and revealed her joy.

She hadn’t thought that a few words from Huo Jinyao were enough to change her mood for the better.

Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao’s face in the reflection. She suddenly realized that Huo Jinyao was influencing her more and more every day.
