Chapter 309: Master Huo Has Been Sidelined

Su Yuxin had just stepped into the house when he heard the ongoing row.

“Mom.” Thinking twice, he stepped forward and stood before Li Qianxue. “I’m back.”

“Yuxin, you’re back? That’s great. Tomorrow is your sister’s birthday party. You’re here just in time, now help me pick which looks better from these two.”

Li Qianxue was about to head towards the direction of the coffee table, but Su Yuxin blocked her off. “Mom. I think that what Dad said made sense.”

“Yuxin, you—”

“Mom, don’t talk about Sister first. Su Qingsang is a member of this family and now her status is a little different. The respect we’re showing her is actually meant for Huo Jinyao and Tianyu Group. Don’t you agree with me?”

Su Yuxin might’ve made a mistake when it came to relationships in the past, but as the successor to the Su family, he was very well aware of the happenings in the current market.

That included the party Tianyu Group held especially for Su Qingsang. Although he didn’t attend it, somebody had told him about it.

On the one hand, he was happy for Su Qingsang, but on the other, he was worried about her. Could she adapt to the change of her newly acquired status fast enough?

This was an opportunity right in front of him. No matter what, he had to convince Li Qianxue.

“Mom, don’t be mad. Listen to what I have to say first.”

…

Su Qingsang didn’t know that she was being targeted. Recently, she has been researching a topic with a tutor. In truth, she didn’t just want to be a postgraduate student and continue living such a simple life working in the hospital.

If it were possible, she would like to continue her studies until she attained her Ph.D. It would be great if she could go abroad to study more and learn about newer technologies.

She got busier and busier. Huo Jinyao could hardly stand it.

A doctor’s schedule wasn’t fixed in the first place — gynecology and obstetrics wasn’t a line of work where one’s time was at one’s disposal.

Su Qingsang was frequently required to take the night shift, and it was needless to mention that accident cases also required her attention. As the husband of a doctor, Huo Jinyao was already at his limit.

Now, why would Su Qingsang even want to conduct research on some topic with her tutor?

Whenever she came home every day, she would first eat, then rush quickly into the study to search up information and case studies, completely tossing him — her husband — aside.

She would fall into a deep sleep after she was done, completely ignoring her frustrated spouse.

“My wife—” Su Qingsang has been parked in front of her computer for almost two hours already. She didn’t notice Huo Jinyao who was standing in front of her at all.

“My wife—” Huo Jinyao called out again. Su Qingsang reacted as if she just realized that he was there.

“Wait a moment. Let me finish reading this excerpt first.”

“My wife.” Huo Jinyao’s voice was laced with traces of frustration. Was he not more attractive than whatever Su Qingsang was looking at?

That’s not right. He looked into the mirror this morning when he woke up and found that he was still quite handsome, if he did say so himself.

“Be quiet.” Su Qingsang read on with full attention, completely ignoring Huo Jinyao.

Huo Jinyao touched his nose and counted to ten. Su Qingsang has been ignoring him for seven days already.

By the looks of it, he really had to do something about it.

He made his way to the back of the table and scooped Su Qingsang up. Su Qingsang gave out a low yelp. Her first reaction was to slap his shoulder.

“Huo Jinyao, what are you doing? My information isn’t saved yet.”

“It’s fine, you won’t lose it.” Huo Jinyao proceeded to walk out with her in his arms.

“Enough!” Xiang Caiping was still around. Su Qingsang panicked. Huo Jinyao acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing, carrying her straight to their room.

“Your mom has lived through this. I’m sure she understands.”

“Huo Jinyao!” Su Qingsang couldn’t scream. “I’ll finish up right this instant, you—”

“Don’t worry. I won’t take up much of your time.” Huo Jinyao proceeded to remove Su Qingsang’s clothes.

Out of the blue, Su Qingsang’s phone rang. Huo Jinyao wanted to ignore it, but Su Qingsang had already noticed the caller ID displayed on the screen.

Su Chenghui.
