Chapter 142: Allow Him To Have His Way

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“I still have commitments, please excuse me.”

With no intention to continue being in Qiu Yanbo’s presence, Su Qingsang gave a slight bow before turning on her heels to go back to the private dining room where she was supposed to be.

Qiu Yanbo narrowed his eyes and lifted a foot seemingly with the intention to go after her, but he spotted another person coming out of the dining room and stopped in his tracks.

“What took you so long?”

Her co-workers teased Su Qingsang upon her return to the private dining room.

“It must be her darling husband who had called her. Being newly married must be tiring. Despite seeing each other every day, both of you are still so attached to each other.”

“Isn’t that the truth? Looking at these youngsters, we are really green with envy.”

Su Qingsang blushed furiously. She felt extremely awkward looking at those around her.

Zuo Hongchen gazed at the lingering flush on her cheeks and could only feel discomforting stuffiness in his chest.

It was clear that he was the one who had known her and fallen for her first, but he had been a step too late. How could he not be mad at that?

Su Qingsang was not aware of his innermost thoughts, yet the others around them could clearly see that Zuo Hongchen began to down glass after glass of alcohol without restraint.

In the end, the group of doctors and nurses remained rather sober due to their lack of interest in drinking. Zuo Hongchen and the hospital administration’s Deputy Director Yang were the only two to get drunk.

Su Qingsang initially wanted to suggest giving Zuo Hongchen a lift home, but they did not live near each other, so other co-workers dropped him off on their way home.

Instead, she gave a ride to two nurses on her way home. By the time she arrived home, Huo Jinyao was already back.

He was not only home but had also showered already. He was sitting on the bed and playing games on his cellphone.

“Dear, you’re back.”

He tossed his cellphone aside and got off the bed to embrace her with a sweep of his arms.

“Are you drunk? Why do you smell so strongly of alcohol?”

“No, the others were drinking. The smell lingered on my clothes.”

“Really?”

Huo Jinyao leaned in close and sniffed the corner of her lips.

“I can smell alcohol. Are you sure you didn’t drink?”

“I didn’t.”

Su Qingsang could smell alcohol on herself too. “Let go of me, I’m going to take a shower.”

Huo Jinyao pinned his gaze on her small face and suddenly moved forward to kiss her. “I’ll join you.”

“Haven’t you showered already?”

“It doesn’t matter. I can shower again.”

While speaking, Huo Jinyao swept Su Qingsang off her feet and lifted her up in his arms in one swift motion.

Su Qingsang was taken aback. “Put me down.”

“No, I won’t. I said I’m going to join you if you’re going to shower. Dear, we have not showered together before.”

“Huo Jinyao!” Su Qingsang’s protests were muffled by his kisses. He carried her into the bathroom and what happened next was of course more than just a shower.

Su Qingsang had the intention to resist but how could she overpower Huo Jinyao? In the end, she could only allow him to have his way with her.

After that, her arms and legs felt weak as she came out of the shower.

She had had a long day and was overwhelmed with fatigue when her head hit the pillow.

Just as she was going to drift off to sleep, Huo Jinyao’s hand once again reached out towards her.

Su Qingsang slapped his hand away exasperatedly.

“Huo Jinyao, you had better restrain yourself.”

“Dear,” Huo Jinyao flipped himself over and held her hand down. “I can’t restrain myself.”

“You…”

“It’s not like you need to work tomorrow, right?”

No, she did not need to work the next day, but she did not want to spend all of her time in bed either.

“Let go…”

The cellphone suddenly started ringing and Huo Jinyao halted his actions for a moment. He did not want to take the call, but the phone would not stop ringing.

Su Qingsang took this chance to flip over and roll her body away from his embrace. “Aren’t you going to pick up the call?”

Huo Jinyao took his cellphone and the caller ID on the phone screen caused his demeanor to change for a fleeting moment.

He gave Su Qingsang a smooch on her face before exiting the room with his cellphone.

Su Qingsang was initially exhausted and was dozing off, but upon seeing Huo Jinyao’s reaction to the phone call, she suddenly felt wide awake.

Who could be calling? Why does he have to leave me to talk to whoever it is?
