To My Dear Mr. Huo

Chapter 510 - I Won’t Ask If You Don’t Want to Speak



Chapter 510: I Won’t Ask If You Don’t Want to Speak

Su Qingsang looked up at him, her eyes glowing brightly. If there were a moonlight that could light her eyes, Huo Jinyao would see himself in her eyes.

Even without the moonlight, Huo Jinyao knew that her eyes were full of him.

He was touched but didn’t respond to her question.

“Huo Jinyao, I won’t ask if you don’t want to speak. But I want you to know that we are a couple. Since we are a couple, we are no longer two, but one. You can at least try to tell me.”

He tried to believe her and could try to tell her about his troubles and his worries. She might be unable to resolve the issue, but he would feel better if he shared his problems.

Huo Jinyao’s response was to reach out and hug her tightly.

Ms. Yu’s voice came from the kitchen, saying that the dinner was ready. Su Qingsang patted Huo Jinyao’s shoulder. “Come, let’s have dinner.”

Huo Jinyao released her, staring at her beautiful face. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently.

“Don’t worry, I am fine.”

Su Qingsang didn’t believe his words. However, since that was what he insisted, she had no choice but to accept it.

A feeling of disappointment arose from her heart. As to Su Qingsnag, she was a blank paper in front of him.

No matter whether it was her birth history or her thoughts, everything was under his control; he knew everything about her.

Nevertheless, she felt that Huo Jinyao harbored some secrets. He was unwilling to share with her his worries, which upset her.

She thought that maybe he chose silence because he couldn’t explain to her about his business, and even if he did explain, she might not understand.

The little discomfort was buried in the deep of her heart, like a seed.

Huo Jinyao looked at the person who handed the documents to him. He glanced at her. Her name was Ding Qing. She was the new secretary and a temporary substitute for Zhang Yang.

She had graduated from MIT, which was very impressive. She also had a beautiful resume. How did such a talented person come to Tianyu Group and work as a secretary?

It didn’t mean that the position of secretary at Tianyu Group was not competitive. Given Ding Qing’s resume, she could have nailed a better position elsewhere.

But Huo Jinyao had watched the recording of her interview and listened to her reason for applying for this job.

She had said that her mom was not feeling well, so she wanted to come back home and spend more time with her. Another reason she gave was that Huo Jinyao once cooperated with the company she had worked for previously.

She liked the working style of Huo Jinyao and his company, and she wished to learn more things from working here.

During the past week, she had done a great job at her work.

She did not only complete the tasks assigned by Yang Wenchang, but she could also arrange the other things well without Yang Wenchang’s direction.

Usually, Huo Jinyao didn’t hire a female secretary but based on her past week’s performance, Ding Qing’s strong ability persuaded him to keep her.

Ding Qing stood there, looking nervous. Eyes fixed on Huo Jinyao, her voice was strained as she asked the question.

“Mr. Huo, is everything correct with the document?”

“Yes,” Huo Jinyao said, signing the document. Then, he gave it to her. “It’s two days before Zhang Yang temporarily stops working. Let him make sure that the handover shifts well.”

“Okay, I know. Zhang Yang has told me what to do.”

With a smile on her face, she clasped her documents against her bosom. She seemed to do it unintentionally, putting the documents one or two inches lower than her breast.

It showed her attractive cleavage, and her breasts were squeezed over her sternum.

Huo Jinyao didn’t notice it, but Ding Qing looked at Huo Jinyao’s eyes with concern.

“Mr. Huo, you don’t look very well. Did you not sleep well yesterday? Do you need me to bring you a cup of coffee?”

“Okay.” Huo Jinyao hadn’t slept well last night. Because of Micah’s words, he began having nightmares again.

He rubbed between his eyebrows and asked Ding Qing to leave.

Ding Qing was back within a few minutes, with a cup of coffee. There was also a piece of cake in her hands.

“Mr. Huo, it’s not healthy to drink coffee with an empty stomach. Please have a cake.”

Huo Jinyao cast his eyes on Ding Qing, who looked calm.

“Mr. Huo, please take care of yourself. I am looking forward to learning more from you.”

Huo Jinyao saw her frankness, and without thinking further, he said, “thank you, but I don’t like cakes.”

“I see,” said Ding Qingsang, looking frustrated. “But I saw a box of desserts in your office that day.”

“My wife bought it for me.”

His meaning was obvious. Since Su Qingsang had bought it for him, he would eat it, even if he didn’t like it.

But Ding Qing was not worthy of that. His words were of clear indication, but Ding Qing didn’t feel offended. Instead, she stuck out her tongue.

“Sorry, Mr. Huo. I don’t know.”

“It’s okay. You can remove the cake.” Huo Jinyao looked down, focusing on the documents in front of him.

Ding Qing took the cake, looking upset about her mistake.

However, when she turned around, the self-accusation in her eyes disappeared immediately. ‘He would eat it just because his wife bought it for him?’ she thought.

She would wait and see if Huo Jinyao would eat the cake the next time she gave it to him.

Huo Jinyao was out of the shower, with a towel on his head. He rubbed his hair with the towel casually, and then he sat at the dressing table, waiting for Su Qingsang to dry his hair.

He was going to be disappointed. Su Qingsang was having a video call with Li Qianxue.

After all the things that had happened, Li Qianxue managed to keep the company operating well. She had also found a professional manager to help her.

Now the company was stabilized. Li Qianxue looked better than before, and she was talking to Su Qingsang about Old Master Li’s birthday.

The third of next month was Old Master Li’s birthday, which was not far away from now.

Though this year was not a special birthday, Old Master Li had just acknowledged his granddaughter. Thus, he wished that Su Qingsang would come home and celebrate with him.

Nevertheless, Old Master didn’t want to bother Su Qingsang, so he only mentioned his wish a few times in front of Li Qianxue.

Li Qianxue felt ridiculous, looking at his attitude but also felt slightly poignant.

Her daughter was an adult now, but she had never reared her, not even for a single day. When she finally realized the truth, her daughter had already married and moved to a place far away from home.

“I know you are busy at work, but your grandpa really misses you and wishes you to come home. Qingsang, can you make time for that?”

Li Qianxue walked on eggshells when she talked. She was afraid that Su Qingsang would be reluctant.

Lately, Li Qianxue and Su Qingsang had been feeling closer to each other than before. But Li Qianxue was still worried that her daughter would resent her for the past twenty years of neglect.

Even if she knew that Su Qingsang wouldn’t do that, she couldn’t help but think that way.

“Mom, what are you talking about? Of course, I will be back for grandpa’s birthday.”

When she was not acknowledged as the legitimate granddaughter of Old Master Li, she appeared every year on his birthday. Not to mention, now that she was officially the biological granddaughter of Old Master Li, she would definitely visit him.

“Really? Great, I will talk to your grandpa.”

Li Qianxue smiled more happily. Su Qingsang was happy, too. She really missed Li Qianxue despite the fact that they talked to each other through video calls every day.

But it was still different from seeing her in person.

“Okay, tell grandpa I’ll be there for his birthday.”

“Why don’t you ask Jinyao to come with you?” It was inappropriate for Huo Jinyao, the grandson-in-law, to be absent on such an occasion.

“Sure, I will let him know.”

When Su Qingsang said it, something else occurred to her. What about Su Chenghui? Would he come to the birthday party?

Looking at Li Qianxue, all elated and excited, Su Qingsang didn’t mention Su Chenghui, because it would certainly upset her.

When she ended the call, she saw Huo Jinyao seated back, his hair wet and his face pensive.

“Eh, have you taken a shower? I’ll go and wash.”

Su Qingsang put down her phone and was about to rise, but Huo Jinyao grabbed her hands abruptly.

“Honey, help me dry my hair.”

Su Qingsang looked at him, fetched the hairdryer, and started drying his hair. She mentioned her plan to go to Lin City next month.

However, next month was already arriving in the next week.

“It is grandpa’s birthday, so we must go back,” Huo Jinyao said. He seemed to be thinking of something else. “It has been quite busy in the company recently. I need to make some arrangements so that I can accompany you to go back.”

“Thank you. You are so good to me.”

Su Qingsang was so happy that she lowered her body to kiss Huo Jinyao’s face, but she forgot that she was still holding the hairdryer in her hand.

“Ooh,” Huo Jinyao shouted in pain. She realized that she had hurt him.

“Are you all right? Let me see. Where’s your injury?”

Huo Jinyao held her on his thigh and turned off the hairdryer in her hand. He kissed her lips after seeing the concerned look on her face.

“Are you sad?”

“You——”

“You are so excited about going back to Lin City but see, I am hurt. I need your consolation.”

Looking at Huo Jinyao who had started teasing her, Su Qingsang asked, “how do you want me to console you?”

“What do you think?” Huo Jinyao pulled her waist, stared at her red lips and started kissing them deeply.

Every day after Huo Jinyao had arrived at the company, Ding Qing told him his schedule for the whole day.

Today, after Ding Qing’s report, Huo Jinyao didn’t ask her to leave as usual.

“Help me book two flight tickets on the second of next month, to Lin City.”

Zhang Yang used to deal with these things. Huo Jinyao found that Ding Qing still stood there and looked at him after he gave his directions.

“What? What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Ding Qing said. “Mr. Huo, are you going on a business trip to Lin City with Mr. Yang?”

“No, I am going with my wife.”

The hand that Ding Qing held the pen with immediately tightened. However, she continued to maintain a smile on her face. “Okay. I am going to book it now.”

Huo Jinyao thought that Su Qingsang must want to see Li Qianxue as soon as possible, so he asked Ding Qing to book the morning tickets. Then, he waved his hands and let her out.

When Ding Qing was back in her office, she didn’t book the tickets. Instead, she called a number on her phone.

“Mr. Huo is going to Lin City on the second of next month.” She told what she knew to the person on the other side of the phone. Unclear what that person said, a bright smile appeared on Ding Qing’s face.

“Yes, only him and his wife.”
