<h4>Chapter 622: Do You Want Her to be Unable to Come Out</h4>


    Huo Jinyao’s hand gently caressed her back. Discerning the rxed yet incredulous tone in her voice, he gently patted her back.


    “Don’t worry. My mother knows.” Even if Liu Tongjia really didn’t want to believe it, it didn’t matter if she still had her own prejudices.


    If they got along well, they could spend more time together. If they really didn’t get along, they didn’t have to stay together. He would protect her no matter what.


    Whether Liu Tongjia epted it or not was only a matter of time. Su Qingsang looked at him and smiled at him.


    She wasn’t particrly worried or concerned about this matter.


    She just hoped that she could build a good rtionship with the Huo family and not make things tense every time they met. Especially since that person was Huo Jinyao’s mother. She didn’t want that to happen.


    Having said all that she wanted to say, she nudged his body and said, “Excuse me, I’m going to take a shower.”


    Just as she was about to get up, Huo Jinyao suddenly held her hand. He turned over and pressed his body onto hers.


    She froze for a moment and blinked at Huo Jinyao. “What’s wrong?”


    “The bracelet you have today is very beautiful. My mother likes it very much. You picked it out from Xianyang’s ce, right?”


    “Yes.”


    “Alone? Didn’t Xianyang apany you?”


    “No.” Su Qingsang shook her head and looked at Huo Jinyao. She added, “I met Uncle. He took me upstairs to pick it out.”


    “What a coincidence.”


    Su Qingsang didn’t like to hear him speak in such a sarcastic manner. “Yes, yes. It was quite a coincidence. I made an appointment with him to pick out jewelry together. Then, we did something else.”


    As she spoke, she cupped Huo Jinyao’s face with both hands. She lifted her chin slightly, and the corners of her eyes were raised with a seductive look.


    “Guess what else we did?”


    “No matter what you guys did, I’m jealous.” Huo Jinyao grabbed her hand and leaned over to bite her lips gently.


    Su Qingsang felt the pain and couldn’t help but bite back. As she bit down, their lips mashed together.


    Huo Jinyao’s kiss was a little rough, and that showed that he was indeed unhappy at the moment.


    Su Qingsang didn’t care. She did run into Zhang Yichen, and they did choose a gift for Liu Tongjia. She didn’t think that there was anything to hide.


    Even if Zhang Yichen had those feelings towards her, he was a rtive of the Huo family and had saved her life. She couldn’t really treat him as a stranger, or hate him and dislike him.


    She believed that as long as she behaved properly, there was nothing to be afraid of.


    Yes. She knew what Zhang Yichen was thinking. Even though he had never shown her anything. She still knew.


    During those days in C City, she had a fever and was in a delirious state. She thought that she would die a few times. While she was in a delirious state, liquid flowed into her lips.


    She was very thirsty at that time. Shepletely ignored everything else and gulped downrge mouthfuls.


    At that time, she didn’t know that she was drinking Zhang Yichen’s blood. There was no light in the narrow space. Everything depended on bodily sensation.


    She remembered that at that time, in her delirious state, she felt thirsty and hungry. Her dry and cracked lips felt ufortable.


    The warm wrist was ced next to her lips at that time. She only realized that something was wrong after taking two sips.


    That taste wasn’t water. It was blood. She wanted to open her eyes, but even if she did, she couldn’t see anything in the darkness.


    She heard Zhang Yichen’s breathing and his heartbeat. After she knew what she was drinking, she couldn’t drink anymore.


    At this moment, in a delirious state, she heard Zhang Yichen’s words. They were very soft.


    “You have to survive. You have to survive.”


    The man’s voice was hoarse, and he sounded weak from excessive blood loss. Those two simple sentences contained too many emotions.


    Su Qingsang had a fever and was in a delirious state. In the end, she could only let herself lose consciousness. She was not an idiot, so after she connected the dots, what was there to not understand?


    When she woke up in C City and heard Huo Jinyao say that she was saved by Zhang Yichen, she understood everything.


    But she would rather not understand anything. She couldn’t ask Zhang Yichen, nor could she show any more concern for him.


    She was already married, and she had someone she loved. She could only let Zhang Yichen down.


    Her attitude today wasn’t very good, and it could even be said that she was rather cold-blooded. To treat her lifesaver that way, she could be considered a heartless person.


    But she had no choice. Who was Zhang Yichen? He was a senior colonel, and he was about to be promoted again. He was also a rtive of the Huo family.


    It was impossible for there to be even the slightest hint of intimacy between them, not even if it was just a passing thought.


    Her lips hurt again, and she came back to her senses. His eyes burning with dissatisfaction, Huo Jinyao was staring at her from above.


    She suddenly smiled, and Huo Jinyao became even angrier as she smiled.


    “Tsk, you’re thinking about another man in front of me. Su Qingsang, you don’t want to live anymore, do you?”


    “Yes.” Su Qingsang nodded and admitted it openly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and moved closer, then bit his lips as well.


    “I want to die.” She pressed her lips close to his ear and said four words very slowly, “I want to die.”


    Huo Jinyao’s eyes darkened and turned bloodshot. He wanted to swallow this woman alive.


    At that moment, Su Qingsang turned around and pressed him under her body.


    “You... want me to die?”


    Su Qingsang deliberately let out a moan as she dragged out the word ‘die’.


    At that moment, Su Qingsang was like a demon. Huo Jinyao believed that he was willing to be Tang Sanzang and let her bleed him dry until there was nothing left.


    “Don’t worry.” Huo Jinyao pulled her waist into his embrace. “Tonight, you’re dead meat.”


    Su Qingsang responded with a series of softughter.


    Those other thoughts had already been thrown out of her mind. There was only him in front of her. They only had each other in their eyes.


    ..


    When Su Qingsang woke up in the morning, she was surprised to find that Huo Mingguang and his wife were still there. Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao had gone too farst night. She almost couldn’t get up.


    If she hadn’t remembered that they were at the Huo family’s residence at thest minute, she would probably have slept until noon.


    When she passed by Liu Tongjia, she realized that although Liu Tongjia’s expression wasn’t kind, it was at least gentle.


    “Grandpa, Dad, Mom.”


    “Grandpa, Dad, Auntie.”


    Su Qingsang greeted theem as well. However, the way she addressed them was a little different.


    Liu Tongjia furrowed her brows and looked at Su Qingsang, who was in front of her. Wanting to say something, her lips moved, but she didn’t in the end.


    The weather was a little hot, so Su Qingsang wore a silk shirt today. Liu Tongjia sat diagonally to her side. Because the cor of Su Qingsang’s shirt was a little too big, from her angle, she could see that there was a hickey on Su Qingsang’s corbone.


    Her expression became a little strange. Halfway through the meal, Huo Mingguang nced at Huo Jinyao.


    “Huo Yifan’s proposal had been dyed for quite some time. We’ve invested a lot of manpower and resources. You –”


    “You don’t have to worry about that proposal. I’ve already asked someone to start over.”


    That was Qi Xiwei’s hard work. He wouldn’t let anyone touch it. Even if Huo Jinyao wanted to do it, he had to personally participate in it.


    “You –”


    Huo Mingguang thought about what Huo Jinyao had done, and he still felt a little ufortable. But he didn’t say anything else.


    Liu Tongjia tugged at Huo Mingguang’s sleeve. She was determined to repair her rtionship with Huo Jinyao. She wouldn’t let her son be unhappy.


    The meal was rather peaceful. Liu Tongjia saw the hickey on Su Qingsang’s neck a few times. She wanted to ask when they nned to have a child, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it.


    Forget it. Their rtionship had just been restored. If there was anything else, they would talk about itter.


    Huo Jinyao was about to leave after the meal. However, he seemed to have thought of something and went to the kitchen.


    Since the incident during the Dragon Boat Festival wasn’t Liu Tongjia’s, whose could it be? If the Huo family had such a sinister person, it would definitely be a ticking time bomb for the Huo family.


    He wouldn’t allow such a person to exist in the family. He summoned Auntie Zhou, Auntie Wang, Uncle Cheng, Xiao Xia and Xiao Jiang, all of whom worked in the kitchen.


    Huo Jinyao rarely interfered with the family’s affairs. It was Liu Tongjia who was in charge. They were shocked to see him acting like this.


    The Huo family lived in their own ce, and the surveince cameras were only installed outside the house. Therefore, he could only ask these people what happened on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.


    Uncle Cheng came out first to exin the situation. Because the Huo family members ate outside that day, the servants at home weren’t involved.


    After the meal, the Huo family and the guests returned. The kitchen began to stew hangover soup. Then, the soup was sent to everyone’s respective rooms.


    ..


    When Su Qingsang got into the car, she noticed that Huo Jinyao’splexion didn’t look too well.


    “What’s wrong?” Could it be that he had a conflict with Liu Tongjia again?


    Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “I realized that when I let Su Peizhen go to prison for five years, I was too easy on her.”


    Su Qingsang was stunned by his mindless words. She looked at Huo Jinyao and thought of what Liu Tongjia said yesterday. She suddenly had a thought.


    “The person who drugged Uncle was Su Peizhen?”


    Huo Jinyao nced at her and his eyes confirmed everything.


    “Is... is she crazy?” Su Qingsang suddenly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she appeared a little uncertain. “No, she...”


    She wanted to say, how could she have known? But she thought of another thing.


    It definitely wasn’t the first day Zhang Yichen had such feelings for her. She might not have known before, but others could discern it clearly.


    Su Peizhen was a very smart person, and she had the intention to target her. Of course, she wouldn’t miss any opportunity.


    She didn’t say the second half of her sentence, but Huo Jinyao didn’t mind. He didn’t want Su Qingsang to know what Zhang Yichen was thinking. It was good that she didn’t know.


    “She’s in jail now.” Ruthlessness shed through Huo Jinyao’s eyes. “If you want to put her in jail for a few more years, it’s not impossible.”


    A woman who bullied Su Qingsang had to pay a price. It was fine if he didn’t know about it before, but now that he knew, he wouldn’t let Su Peizhen off so easily.


    Speaking of which, Su Peizhen didn’tmit murder or arson. However, every single thing she did had crossed Huo Jinyao’s bottom line.


    He wanted Su Peizhen to stay in prison for the rest of her life and never get out again.
