Huo Jinyao’s hand, which was placed on her waist, tensed slightly. He was behind her, so she couldn’t see his expression.
“The company?”
“Yeah. What did you do while you were on your business trip? You said that the contract was all set. What aspect of it is being difficult now?”
She turned her face to look at Huo Jinyao. Su Qingsang realized that she was Huo Jinyao’s other half. That meant she should know what he did, right?
Huo Jinyao held her tightly, kissed her cheek, and replied, “You’re still going to pretend that you don’t care about me? You’re even starting to worry about my work.”
“Huo Jinyao.” He tries to steer the direction of the conversation away from work. Su Qingsang was starting to feel like something was off. “Don’t change the subject.”
She wasn’t worried about it. She just wanted to ask to make things clear. She would have to make small talk with the Li family and people from the Su family in the future. She didn’t want to be clueless about his work when the time came.
She didn’t care what he did as long as he had a decent, not shameful job.
“The thing is…” Huo Jinyao rubbed his nose and continued, “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I’m new and the company I work for is a small one, so…”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a small company. What type of company is it?”
“It’s just a trading company.” Huo Jinyao nodded and continued, “A very small trading company. There are only a few people working there including me. That’s why I had to go with the boss for that business trip.”
Su Qingsang stared into his eyes as if she was trying to make sure he was telling the truth.
Huo Jinyao’s eyes were black and bright. The only thing she could see was her own reflection.
Su Qingsang suddenly couldn’t remember what she had wanted to say.
Her expression hinted at her suspicion. Huo Jinyao blew out of his nose awkwardly. “It really is a very small company. It’s too small. I’m embarrassed to talk about it.”
“That’s alright.”
Su Qingsang realized that Huo Jinyao had dazed her. That wasn’t a good sign.
“It’s fine that the company is small. Do your job well. Everyone has to start small.”
“Wife, you’re so great.” Huo Jinyao kissed her on the cheek again and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely work hard.”
She scrunched her forehead as she stared at his pleased face.
…
The next day, Sunday, Huo Jinyao woke Su Qingsang up early in the morning.
She was very sleepy, pushed Huo Jinyao’s hand away, and tried to go back to sleep. “Don’t play now, I’m very sleepy.”
She had played with her for the whole night before, and they had played for half the night last night as well. She was still sleepy and didn’t want to wake up.
“The weather is so nice today. Let’s go out.”
Huo Jinyao was very excited, so he pulled on Su Qingsang’s hand again.
Su Qingsang was angry now. “Huo Jinyao, are you done fooling around?”
She hadn’t slept well all last week because she had been working night shifts. Recently, she had had Huo Jinyao to keep her awake. Su Qingsang continued gloomily, “Stop.”
Huo Jinyao hadn’t thought that Su Qingsang would have such a bad attitude in the morning. He was temporarily startled.
Su Qingsang didn’t want to be bothered. She turned over and went back to sleep. Huo Jinyao stared at her back, and finally tiptoed out the room.
She slept deeper than she had before. When she woke up, she felt someone holding her hand.
Su Qingsang was about to retract her hand instinctually, when she realized the hand was different.
She opened her eyes and a brilliant light in front of her eyes woke her up at once.
