To My Dear Mr. Huo

Chapter 251: You Do Not even Treat Me with such Thoughtfulness

Su Qingsang hung up the phone and her face showed the remnants of a smile. Nearby, Huo Jinyao espied that, flipped over, and lowered himself on her.

“Why are you so happy?” When Huo Jinyao went to shower, Su Qingsang had just picked up the call. When he came out of the shower, she had still been on the phone.

He was actually more interested in asking her about whom she was talking to.

“It’s nothing,” Su Qingsang shook her head. “Mengwan’s wedding dress design was selected for the finals.”

It’s Shi Mengwan again. The smile on Huo Jinyao’s face started to fade. “You really treat her with such thoughtfulness.”

She had picked the best gift for Shi Mengwan among all the other gifts she had picked out. Once we were back in Lin City, she immediately went to give Shi Mengwan the gift. Due to that, she neglected me.

When Shi Mengwan joined the competition and was drawing designs after designs, regardless of whether it was day or night, she was extremely invested in her efforts to care for her welfare. She regularly delivered soup and beverages to Shi Mengwan for the purpose of supplementing her health.

She has never personally delivered any to me. This is blatant favoritism.

“Mengwan is my buddy; of course, I am thoughtful of her.”

Though Shi Mengwan had parents, she was living on her own away from them.

“So why don’t I see you being more thoughtful of me?”

Huo Jinyao pecked her on her face again as he spoke and his eyes reflected traces of discontent. “You do not even treat me with such thoughtfulness.”

“You’re not making sense again.” Su Qingsang was adamant about not taking responsibility. Upon carefully reflecting, she did seem to have neglected him to a considerable extent recently.

During these few days after returning from their trip, she had been working in the hospital in the day and rushing out an essay at night. The drawback of being a doctor was having to deal with examinations and having essays to write intermittently.

No matter how much you have mastered your profession, the examinations and essays have to be done. Whatever little free time left was used on keeping Shi Mengwan company. Huo Jinyao has really been neglected.

“Fine, how would you like me to be thoughtful?”

Upon reflecting on the week that she had been back from her trip, she had not exactly been a competent wife. Su Qingsang thought that perhaps she could satisfy some of the conditions set by Huo Jinyao.

“You have to obey me tonight.”

Huo Jinyao’s first condition caused Su Qingsang to blush. Does this count as a condition to fulfill? There had not been a night which she did not submit to his requests.

Huo Jinyao also realized that this condition did not count, so he came up with another one. “Our company has just arranged a partnership deal. Almost every reputable company in Lin City will be participating in different aspects of the partnership; hence the company has decided to hold a dinner party next week. When the time comes, you will attend the dinner party as the hostess.”

Attend a dinner party? Su Qingsang’s expression revealed a subtle struggle within her. “Your business partners are the Su Family, Li Family, and Qiu Family?”

“Naturally.” Although Su Family did not really treat Su Qingsang amicably, it was undeniable that these families wielded considerable power in the business world.

After all, it would be impossible to have a stronghold in Lin City for so many years without substantial influence and strength. Profitable partnerships were beneficial for the players.

“Can I not go?” Even though she had not run into Su Peizhen these past few days, Su Chenghui had especially called her after receiving her gifts through a courier service.

He had chided her for her lack of respect in hiring a courier to deliver gifts instead of personally delivering it. He had also peppered her with questions about the identity of the person whom Qiu Yanbo fancied.

All these were manageable for her when she did not have to see the people in question on a regular basis. If she were to see them during the dinner party and Qiu Yanbo decided to do something again…

“No, you can’t.” Huo Jinyao grabbed her small hands. “I want to introduce you to everyone. I want them to know that you are my wife; the wife of Tianyu Group’s director-general.”

Su Qingsang gazed at how he fixed all of his attention on her as he spoke. After he had introduced her to his family, he had introduced her to his friends and, now, she would be introduced to his partners in his business circle.

She suddenly began to understand his sincerity. She thought for a moment before gently nodding to indicate her compliance with his request.

“Alright, I’ll go.”
