234: Don’t Ever Do That Again.

Don’t Ever Do That Again.

"How could I have left?" Su Qingsang tried to hide the intense emotions she felt for Huo Jinyao. "I just felt so bored in there, so I wanted to go out and get some air," she said.1

"Get some air? Then why didn't you answer my phone?" Huo Jinyao had almost called the police. "Do you have any idea how worried I was?"

"Sorry, I muted it by accident."

She hadn't meant to but had pressed the button accidentally.

Huo Jinyao could not help but pinch her face when he saw she was telling the truth.

"Don't ever do that again."

"Yes, I'm all right now, you see?" As soon as she had gotten the call from Huo Jinyao, she had headed for Tianyu.

Seeing her like this, Huo Jinyao could not help but pinch her face again. He took her by the hand and led her into the building.

"I still have some business to finish. You wait for me and then we can go to dinner, ok?"

"Ok."

"Next time if you want to go out, you must tell me. You are not familiar with this place. I will be worried about you, you know?"

"Yeah."

Su Qingsang didn't argue with Huo Jinyao about these things. In fact, she had just wanted to relax. Who had known that would happen?

"Sweetheart." After entering the elevator, Huo Jinyao suddenly put his arm around her waist and asked, "Are you angry?"

"Angry? Why would I be angry?"

"Because of the issue with going back to Lin City." Huo Jinyao looked into her eyes and wanted to know if she was really that reluctant to stay.

"I'm not angry."

Su Qingsang was really not angry. She just felt it a little stuffy.

"You say you aren't angry." Huo Jinyao pinched her cheek and said, "But the look on your face is telling me you're unhappy. It is saying that you're very unhappy and I've annoyed you."

"Come on." Su Qingsang was about to laugh. "What are you talking about?"

"No? You look at your own face." Huo Jinyao turned her face and led her to a mirror wall so she could look at herself.

The bright elevator walls were installed with amber mirrors. Su Qingsang looked into the mirror and saw Huo Jinyao's face right there.

She turned to him and said, "Huo Jinyao, you—"

The elevator arrived and there was a secretary standing at the door, who wanted Huo Jinyao to sign something.

Su Qingsang stopped speaking and so did Huo Jinyao. He signaled her to go back to the office first. He got to his office a few minutes later, after he signed a few things, and he started arranging the room.

Su Qingsang was watching the news on an iPad. Huo Jinyao did not disturb her. After his business, they would have enough time together.

Huo Jinyao was relatively fast with his work. Soon after nightfall, he finished reading the remaining documents he had to look over and found that Su Qingsang was curled up on the sofa as if she were going to fall asleep.

Huo Jinyao came over and sat down on the sofa. When he touched Su Qingsang's face, she woke up.

With a yawn, Su Qingsang rubbed her cheek against his palm. "You done?"

"Yes."

Huo Jinyao held her up and signaled for her to sit up. "Sleepy?" He asked.

"No. Not sleepy." Just bored of waiting. "Shall we go?"

"Yes."

Huo Jinyao nodded and stood up to help Su Qingsang up. Her foot became numb because she had stayed in the same position for too long, so she sat back down.

Her face showed a bit of discomfort and Huo Jinyao knew the problem at once. He put the coat she had dropped on the sofa in her arms and directly picked her up.

Su Qingsang was taken aback by his action.
