Chapter 479: He Succeeded in Making Her Feel Guilty

Huo Jinyao got into the car. Su Qingsang was looking at the first building of the hospital. Just now, another ambulance was driven to the building, with medical staff hastily leaving the vehicle.

Sickness and death, birth and aging, that kind of thing happened in hospitals every single day. When compared to matters of life and death, everything else seemed less important.

Huo Jinyao didn’t notice the look in Su Qingsang’s eyes. While starting the car, he talked to her in a casual tone.

“Is there a male doctor in your department? Male gynecologists are quite rare, right?”

“Yeah.” Su Qingsang thought of the joke that Zheng Chenyu made about himself earlier. She still found that amusing.

Out of the corners of his eyes, Huo Jinyao saw the small smile on Su Qingsang’s face. His voice grew deeper than before.

“Are you two in the same department?”

“Yeah. He’s also Director Sun’s student. When I came here last time for enrollment, he took me to the administrative office and helped me with the paperwork.”

“I see.” Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes. ‘That guy sure moves fast,’ he thought. He was glad that he decided to come to the hospital today.

Su Qingsang abruptly turned to him and asked, “Why did you ask me that?”

“Nothing, I just wanted to chat with you.” Driving the car, Huo Jinyao put on a serious look, “After all, male gynecologists are pretty uncommon.”

“Is that all?”

“Pretty much.” Huo Jinyao turned and looked at her deep in the eyes.

Su Qingsang turned her face to look at Huo Jinyao. She has been married to him for quite some time, so she knew about him. “I may be wrong, but I don’t think you came here just to check on me,” she said blinking, “I think you came here to let people know that I’m already married.”

Upon hearing Su Qingsang’s words, Huo Jinyao suddenly furrowed his eyebrows as a sad expression formed on his face.

“Baby, how can you think of me as that kind of person?”

Su Qingsang stared at him without blinking. She wasn’t being paranoid. That sounded really like something that Huo Jinyao would do.

Huo Jinyao pulled over, pressed a hand on his heart, and said, “Baby, that really hurt my feelings. I can’t believe you’d think I’d be that kind of man.”

Su Qingsang was a little stunned. She watched Huo Jinyao turn the back of his head to her. It seemed obvious that he felt hurt by her.

“Huo Jinyao?” Su Qingsang patted him on the shoulder, but he refused to turn back to her.

She rested her forehead on her hand and looked at the back of his head, suffering a headache. “Alright,” she said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.”

Huo Jinyao still didn’t turn back to her. Su Qingsang continued helplessly, “I’m sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have thought of you like that.”

Still, Huo Jinyao didn’t turn back to her. Su Qingsang helplessly added with, “I’ll make it up to you tonight when we got home, okay?”

“Really?” Huo Jinyao finally turned his face back to her.

“Yes.” Su Qingsang nodded quickly. She had made up her mind. “Can you stop being mad at me now?” She said seriously and sincerely.

“Can you promise you won’t think of me like that again?”

“I promise.” Su Qingsang did feel guilty. Huo Jinyao kindly came to check on her, but what was she thinking about?

“Alright, you’ll make it up to me tonight.”

“I certainly will,” Su Qingsang said, emphasizing the fact. She was unaware that they had vastly different ideas of how she would make it up to him.

Huo Jinyao nodded with satisfaction, but the look on his face remained very serious. “Dear, you can’t think of me as that kind of person again.”

“I’ve told you that it won’t happen again.” Huo Jinyao did make Su Qingsang feel very guilty. She almost raised three fingers and swore.

“Let’s go, then.” Huo Jinyao started the car. His voice sounded a little happier than before when he said, “You need to get back to work this afternoon, so we’ll just pick some food nearby.”

Su Qingsang nodded. She was never picky about food. At that moment, her phone started ringing. She dropped her head to look at her phone, so she once again missed that foxy, cunning look that flashed across Huo Jinyao’s eyes.

…

As she had promised to make it up to Huo Jinyao, Su Qingsang went to the market to shop for food after work.

She had just started working, so she didn’t need to take any nightshifts for the time being. After saying goodbye to Sui Huiya, she left the hospital.

She found the market nearby using an app on her phone. Earlier, she made some time to search online about how to cook some of the local food in Rong City. It would’ve been easy as long as she followed the recipes.

When she lived with Xiang Caiping, she often helped her in the kitchen. During that time, her culinary skills had greatly improved.

Her cooking may have not been super delicious, but she believed that it was good enough for her.

After shopping for food, she bought some other things for everyday use. When checking out, she saw the Okamoto condoms on the shelf.

She paused for a second before picking up two boxes and throwing them into her shopping cart.

…

That evening, Huo Jinyao was surprised to come home and smell the aroma of food.

Since they had just moved here, they hadn’t hired a housekeeper yet. Old Master Huo offered to send Xin or Ms. Zou who worked in the family house to his place, but Huo Jinyao refused.

He already asked Yang Wenchang to hire a housekeeper for him. However, it required time to find a reliable person for the job.

He walked into the kitchen and found Su Qingsang busy at making food. She wasn’t rushing herself, but she did seem to be handling the work very smoothly.

The delightful smell of the food and the pretty girl who were busy in the kitchen made Huo Jinyao’s heart leap.

“You’re back.” Su Qingsang heard the noises he made. Without turning back to look at him, she put the food into the plate and said to him, “Wash your hands. Dinner is almost ready.”

Huo Jinyao didn’t wash his hands. Instead, he stepped up and put his arms around Su Qingsang’s waist. He buried his head in her neck and took a deep breath.

“Baby, you smell so good…”

“Stop.” Su Qingsang didn’t believe him. She thought she had smelled like her food at that moment.

“But you smell so good.” Huo Jinyao kissed her on the cheek, said, “How come you decided to cook by yourself?”

“What do you think I’m doing this for?” She upset him earlier and promised to make it up to him. Wasn’t she doing just that?

Huo Jinyao was charmed. He was tempted to kiss her lips.

Su Qingsang hurriedly tilted her head to dodge and said, “Stop it. Wash your hands and then we’ll have dinner.”

“Alright.” Huo Jinyao said with a nod. He still managed to kiss her on the lips before going wash his hands under Su Qingsang’s glare.

Su Qingsang made four simple dishes and chicken soup. She started making the soup since she got home.

Su Qingsang served Huo Jinyao with a bowl of soup and said, “Have some chicken soup first. I learned how to make this online. I put mushrooms in it. Give it a try.”

Huo Jinyao took a sip, then looked at her as he said, “It’s good.”

“Have some more then.” Seeing the look of praise on his face, Su Qingsang said without much confidence, “Um, I came home a little late, so I made the soup with a pressure cooker. The next time I have a day off, I’ll make it again using a clay pot. It’ll taste better that way.”

“It’s okay. It’s good already.” Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang and said, “You bought quite some things today. Did you carry them all back home by yourself?”

“Yeah.” Su Qingsang nodded, “It was okay. Just two large bags.”

“You should have called me and let me carry those for you.”

“No need. I may be slim, but I’m strong and full of energy.”

Su Qingsang wasn’t bragging. In hospitals, female doctors sometimes needed to be as strong as men, while male doctors were often required to be like superman.

As an obstetrician, she needed to help lift the pregnant patients when they were too weak to move. There wouldn’t always be someone to assist her.

Sometimes, she even needed to perform several consecutive operations in one day. Without enough energy and stamina, one couldn’t possibly do that.

“You’re strong? I don’t think so.”

“I’m not as strong as you, of course. But I’m much stronger than most of the other girls.”

“Are you?” Huo Jinyao put a hand on his chin and looked at Su Qingsang’s slightly proud face as he said, “How come you never lasted long in bed then?”

“Huo Jinyao.” Su Qingsang couldn’t bear listening to that.

“I’m serious. What gave you the confidence to tell me that you’re strong?”

In bed, she always begged to stop about two minutes after they got started. It may have probably been longer than two minutes in reality, but it definitely felt like two minutes for Huo Jinyao.

“It’s because I don’t have the same level of endurance as you, not because I’m weak.”

Huo Jinyao was reaching toward his bowl. Upon hearing Su Qingsang’s words, he paused and then leaned his upper body toward her.

“Dear, are you complimenting me?”

Su Qingsang glared at him before fetching herself a bowl of soup. She decided not to talk to him again.

After dinner, Su Qingsang intended to clean up the table, but Huo Jinyao didn’t want her to do that. “I’ve asked Wenchang to hire us a new housekeeper. I think they’ll be here to do that tomorrow.”

“There’s just a few dishes. It won’t take much time washing them.”

Su Qingsang stood up and brought the dishes to the kitchen. Huo Jinyao followed behind her, dragging her toward himself.

“Dear, don’t wash the dishes. It’s bad for your skin.”

“Then you do it for me.” Su Qingsang pointed at the dirty dishes with her chin. Hearing what she said, Huo Jinyao’s smile froze on his face.

“You want me to wash the dishes?”

“Yeah. Do you have a problem with that?”

Huo Jinyao squeezed her hand and said with a weird look on his face, “Well, since my dear wife has given her order, I surely intend to follow it, but… I’ve never washed the dishes before. Are you sure you want me to wash them?”

“I cooked, so you’re going to do the dishes. Doesn’t that sound fair?”

“It’s more than fair.” Huo Jinyao nodded, then stepped up to the sink. He spent a few seconds looking at the dirty dishes in the sink, then turned to Su Qingsang.

“Can you tell me what’s the first step of dish-washing?”

“Turn on the water, then get some dish-washing liquid.”

“Sounds easy enough.” Huo Jinyao did what she said while speaking.

Su Qingsang watched him squeeze out of the bottle five times more than what he needed of the dish-washing liquid. She thought for a moment, then decided not to watch. Instead, she turned and left.

She walked to the living room and sat down. About two minutes later, she heard the sound of something breaking.

Her eyebrows twitched slightly, but she forced herself not to pay attention to the noise.

Before long, she heard the same noise again.

She picked up a cup of tea from the tea table and took a sip.

Upon hearing the third plate breaking, Su Qingsang finally couldn’t help but stand up and head toward the kitchen. Before she stepped into the kitchen, she heard another piece shatter.

She inhaled deeply to adjust her breath.

She was impressed. They used two rice bowls, four plates, and a large bowl for the soup. So far, she had heard four of the seven pieces break.
