To My Dear Mr. Huo

Chapter 499: So, Miss. He Likes to Be the Other Woman

“Aunty,” said He Xuanyao with shyness and embarrassment on her face. She nodded and said, “I-I do…”

Her words seemed to give Liu Tongjia more confidence. Liu Tongjia turned, looked at Su Qingsang and said, “you heard her. She does want to marry Jinyao.”

“I heard her,” Su Qingsang nodded. She wasn’t deaf. “So, Miss. He would like to be the other woman.”

She would have stood up and left long ago if she hadn’t been curious about what Liu Tongjia and He Xuanyao were planning.

She wasn’t expecting to hear an unbelievable conversation like that. Since the girl was being so shameless, she didn’t see any reason to be nice to her.

He Xuanyao’s face instantly turned from being pink to being as pale as a ghost. She glared at Su Qingsang. The fire in her eyes seemed to burn through Su Qingsang.

“What are you talking about?” Liu Tongjia couldn’t bear listening to what Su Qingsang had just said. “Who’s gonna be the other woman?”

“How is Miss He going to marry Jinyao if she doesn’t plan on being the other woman?”

Su Qingsang blinked her eyes. Her pretty face wore a purposely confused look as she continued saying, “I seem to remember that I am Jinyao’s wife.”

“She can marry him after he gets a divorce with you,” Liu Tongjia told Su Qingsang, making her words sound very reasonable and not trying to hide her discontent at all. “Look at yourself. Which part of yourself do you think is good enough for Jinyao?”

“Aunt, neither you nor I have the right to say if I’m good enough for him or not. It’s only up to him. Am I right?”

“You…”

“If Jinyao wants to divorce me or if he wants something else, he’ll come and talk to me about it himself. You really can’t decide this for him.”

“Su Qingsang, you think you have his heart holding in your hands so firmly, don’t you?”

“Aunt, you misunderstood me,” said Su Qingsang. She always knew that Liu Tongjia didn’t like her and she didn’t mind that. After all, she wasn’t anything as attractive as cash. To want to be liked by everyone was not a practical desire.

“Jinyao and I share an equal relationship. I’m not holding his heart in my hand because he doesn’t need me to do that. Also, Jinyao and I are a registered couple. Our marriage is protected by the law, so not even you have the right to ask us to get a divorce.”

“Su Qingsang. Aren’t you ashamed to say that? Do you think that everyone else is too stupid to guess what kind of a dirty trick you played to make Jinyao marry you?”

What trick did she play? Su Qingsang blinked. She didn’t remember playing any tricks on Huo Jinyao.

“Su Qingsang, get a divorce with him if you still have any shame. Don’t make things ugly for everyone.”

“Aunt, I’m sorry. I do have some shame left, so I cannot do what you want me to. After all, I didn’t cheat on him, and I’m not making any other mistakes. What other reason do I have to get a divorce with him?”

“You didn’t make a mistake? You aren’t even willing to have children with him. Why does our family need a daughter-in-law like you? Have you suddenly changed your mind? Do you want children now?”

“No,” replied Su Qingsang. She wasn’t against parenting. After all, she was an Obstetrician. She just felt that it was still too early for her to have children now. She might want to have children in a few years.

However, her spirit of resistance was awakened by Liu Tongjia’s aggressive attitude.

“Aunt, I have to make it clear to you that I’ve talked about it with Jinyao already. We have no plans to have children anytime soon.”

“Haha.” Liu Tongjia was so angry that she gave a sarcastic laugh. “Do you hear yourself? You don’t want to bear Jinyao’s child, and you refuse to let anyone else have children with him. How ridiculous is that?”

Su Qingsang furrowed her brows. Before she could say anything, Liu Tongjia continued saying, “as you can see, in terms of family background, appearance and other factors, Xuanyao is better than you. More importantly, she loves Jinyao sincerely with no calculation at all. She’s willing to take care of him and have children with him. You can’t do all that. If you’re aware of what kind of person you are, you should divorce him as soon as possible. Don’t waste his time.”

He Xuanyao sat next to Liu Tongjia with cheeks as red as a beetroot, remaining silent. Looking at the shy look on the girl’s face, Su Qingsang abruptly tittered.

“Aunt, I can’t tell you if I’m wasting Jinyao’s time or not, but I can tell you that it’d be a real waste of time if he really got together with Miss. He.”

A cunning look could be detected from Su Qingsang’s narrowed eyes. From a long time back, she had already known that He Xuanyao was a shameless person.

So, there was no reason to save the girl any embarrassment.

“After all, Jinyao felt nothing for her even when she lay by his side with no clothes on. How can Jinyao possibly have children with her?”

Upon hearing that, He Xuanyao’s face instantly turned from red to blue, then from blue to black, like a color palette that had unfortunately fallen to the ground.

With the look on her face changing constantly, she abruptly stood up, bit her lip and attempted to rush out.

“Xuanyao.” Liu Tongjia quickly held her hand, then turned to Su Qingsang and said, “what nonsense are you talking about?”

“Ask Jinyao about it and you’ll know if I’m talking nonsense.”

Su Qingsang stood up. She had spent quite a while watching the show and she was now tired of it. “Miss He,” she said, “If you want to have children with Jinyao, I’m fine with it, really. However, in order to make it happen, you have to find out a way to get Jinyao interested in you. Otherwise, how are you gonna make babies with him?”

“You-you are so shameless!” He Xuanyao clearly remembered what she had done. But under Liu Tongjia’s faintly questioning eyes, she really couldn’t tell the former about what happened.

So, she turned to threaten Su Qingsang. “Don’t be perky. Jinyao is obsessed with you now, but he’ll see who you really are sooner or later.”

“Oh, it’s okay. He might be obsessed with me only for the time being, but it’s still better than the way he feels about you. He’s really not interested in you at all. Next time, you should spend more time thinking about how to seduce a man. After all, it can really be embarrassing if a man ignores you even after you strip in front of him.”

He Xuanyao bit her lower lip so hard. She shook off Liu Tongjia’s hand and rushed out of the house without turning back.

She left in a haste but Su Qingsang could still hear her sobbing. She also saw a few drops of tears the girl had shed on the floor.

Liu Tongjia was as black as thunder. She glared at Su Qingsang with her dagger eyes, seemingly trying to penetrate through Su Qingsang’s.

“Good, I’m impressed. I didn’t know that you had such a sharp-tongue.”

“Thank you, Aunt,” said Su Qingsang and took that as a compliment. “I don’t really have a sharp tongue. I just prefer to be honest.”

Liu Tongjia’s face twisted with anger. “Great, you are good at this. I’d like to see how long your tricks will keep working on Jinyao.”

“Aunt, I’d like to know about that too. Maybe you can ask him about that for me next time.”

Su Qingsang found herself becoming more and more thick-skinned in front of Liu Tongjia.

Liu Tongjia was so enraged that she couldn’t even say anything else. At last, she gave Su Qingsang a fierce glare, turned and went upstairs without looking back.

Su Qingsang felt a little helpless. She knew that she wasn’t the sole reason why Liu Tongjia disliked her so much. It was a little unfair for her, actually.

She turned around and found Huo Jinyao standing by the door, looking at her with a faint smile on his face.

“You’re home.” Before she walked to him, Huo Jinyao came up to her and held her in his arms.

He lowered his head to kiss her on the forehead. The corners of his lips were twisted in a small smile the whole time.

“Why are you back so soon? Didn’t you drive her home?”

“Her place is not far away,” replied Huo Jinyao. He didn’t intend to tell her about how he had warned Li Wanyu in the car earlier on.

He was willing to be nice to Li Junsheng’s sister, for the sake of his friendship with him. However, he still warned Li Wanyu to be wise and not to do anything to displease him.

Abruptly, he dropped his head, pressed his forehead against Su Qingsang’s cheek and said, “He Xuanyao wants to have babies with me, and you’re fine with it? Eh? What are you thinking about?”

Su Qingsang blushed. Did he know what had happened?

“I’m not interested in her indeed.” Huo Jinyao suddenly lifted her and carried her in his arms. “And I don’t agree with what you said to her.”

He looked down at her with a very serious look in his eyes. “Next time, when someone offers to have babies with me, you can tell them that I said no. After all, I now belong to you.”

Su Qingsang put her arms around his neck the moment she lost her balance. She raised her head, looked at him and asked, “do you only belong to me?”

“Of course, Mrs. Huo.”

Su Qingsang smiled because he had called her Mrs. Huo.

At that moment, she dismissed what had happened earlier an insignificant incident.

She leaned forward and gave him a soft kiss.

As she prepared to finish that kiss, Huo Jinyao caught her lips and deepened it.

Then. the tall and sturdy Huo Jinyao easily carried Su Qingsang upstairs.

As for He Xuanyao, who had made a scene earlier that night, who cared about her now?

…

Su Qingsang had a huge grin on her face when she saw Shi Mengwan at the airport. She almost jumped onto Su Mengwan to hug her.

Shi Mengwan had talked about visiting her in Rong City before. She waited for a week after that but Shi Mengwan never mentioned it again, so she thought it wasn’t happening anymore.

“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me that you were coming until you got onto the plane. Thankfully I didn’t have any surgeries today, or I wouldn’t have been able to come and pick you up.”

She didn’t have any surgeries to do that day but still needed to work. Fortunately, Sui Huiya agreed to let her leave early because she was always working hard.

“I wanted to surprise you.”

Shi Mengwang pulled her collars together. Spring had begun, but it was still much colder in Rong City than in Lin City.

She looked around, then asked with disappointment, “why isn’t there any snow?”

“You think there is still snow? The snow melted long ago. You should have told me earlier that you wanted to see the snow view. Next time, I’ll take you to the Snow Country.”

“Alright. But this time, I’m gonna let you give me a wonderful tour of this city.”

“You are very welcome,” said Su Qingsang, and took over her luggage. She brought her out of the airport to the parking lot.

After putting the luggage into the car, the two of them got in.

Shi Mengwan was wearing a scarf and a pair of sunglasses when she got off the plane. In the car, she took them both off and showed her face.

Before starting the car, Su Qingsang noticed her sallow skin. She stopped short, then leaned toward Shi Mengwan to stare at her face.

“Did you not rest well? How come you don’t look very well?”
