Chapter 148: I Guess He Will Not Be Happy

“Yes.”

Vice President Li, who was in charge of the daily running of the hospital, smiled rather kindly.

“This time, we’ll also be going to H province for our visit to the countryside. It’s situated in Qing Yuan County, approximately two kilometers away from Lin City. Honestly, the environment there is rather harsh, but I believe that we are all good comrades who will overcome all adversities together.”

Su Qingsang did not mind it at all. No matter how harsh the environment in Qing Yuan County is, it could not possibly be worse than what doctors who had gone to Africa experienced, could it?

“Alright, I will be sending the specifics of our departure time and itinerary to you through email. The things to note as well as the items you need to prepare will also be stated in the email. For those of you who are participating in this event, please look for me if you have any queries.”

The information conveyed during the meeting was simple and succinct, and the meeting ended quickly.

Su Qingsang was a little distracted. In the past, if she were selected to participate in a work trip to the countryside, there would not be any issue. However, a mental image of Huo Jinyao flashed across her mind at this moment. If he knows I will have to leave Lin City for a period of time, I guess he will be unhappy about it.

Su Qingsang did not notice that she seemed to be more and more aware of Huo Jinyao’s preferences. She had also put herself in his shoes more and more often to understand his feelings.

…

“What?” Huo Jinyao widened his eyes at Su Qingsang. “You are going to the countryside?”

“Yes,” Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao. She was not sure if he would be unhappy upon hearing this piece of information.

“How long will you be gone?”

“About three weeks, I guess.”

The trip would not include just the capital of Qing Yuan County this time, but some villages and towns under the county jurisdiction as well. She looked at the itinerary and found the schedule rather packed.

“You’re going to be gone for so long?” Huo Jinyao’s facial expression changed in the blink of an eye. He reached out and drew her into his embrace, his chin against her neck.

“Can you stay?”

“That’s not possible.” Su Qingsang shook her head. “This has been decided by the hospital. I have no excuses.”

“Just tell them that you have personal matters to attend to at home.”

“Huo Jinyao.” Can he stop making a fuss? This work-related trip of hers was also a serious matter. How could he view it as something so dismissible?

“Dear,” Huo Jinyao circled her waist tightly with his arms. “Think about it. You’re going for twenty days, twenty long days. Doesn’t that mean that I will not be able to hold you before sleep for twenty days? I…”

“Huo Jinyao,” Su Qingsang could not bear to listen on. “Can’t you think about anything else?”

“What else would I think about?” Huo Jinyao looked aggrieved. “We’re newly-weds.”

As he spoke, he pinned her onto the sofa, his hands already roaming freely all over her body. “Dear, I can’t bear for you to leave. Don’t go to the countryside. Just apply for leave from work.”

“Stop fooling around.”

Su Qingsang pried his hands off and pushed him away before sitting up.

“I’ll be leaving next week. I am going to check out Qing Yuan’s weather and think about what I need to bring along with me.”

“Dear…”

Huo Jinyao rose and trailed after her. “It’s next week, right? That’s no hurry. Should I pack for you?”

“There’s no need for that, thank you.”

Su Qingsang knew him too well. Espying his advance, she cleared her throat. “Huo Jinyao, don’t you fool around anymore. I need to pack my stuff.”

“Dear,” Huo Jinyao stepped forward and lifted her up as she was surfing the net on her phone, looking for information.

“Huo Jinyao, what are you doing?” Su Qingsang was frightened by the sensation of suddenly being lifted off her feet. She instinctively put her arms around his neck for support.

“Dear, don’t you think that twenty days apart is too long?”

It seemed so long to him, indeed, that he had the urge to go on the trip with her.

“Put me down first.”

“Not going to do that,” Huo Jinyao said flatly. “Dear, I feel that the time we have to be apart is really too long. To make up for that, we can’t afford to waste a single moment.”

“What on earth could you possibly mean?” How can he be so utterly focused on one single matter?
