The living room was very bright and well-lit. The beige-colored theme made it seem cozy and homely. However, with the tall Huo Jinyao currently standing there, it made the room feel tight and small.
The pressure that Huo Jinyao put on Su Qingsang made her wonder if she had gone crazy. Otherwise, how could she have agreed to Huo Jinyao coming over to her place? She drove home before she had the chance to carefully think it through.
“You…” Su Qingsang tried to come up with an excuse that would not offend Huo Jinyao. “Do you not have your own home?”
“Nope.”
“Didn’t you say you were from Lin City?”
“Yea.” Huo Jinyao nodded. “I am from Lin City. I also said that my dad was from Lin City, but my mom isn’t.”
“Then you…”
“My dad left Lin City a long time ago and is working at another place. So, I don’t have a home in Lin City anymore.”
“Then before, you…”
“I only came to Lin City for business,” Huo Jinyao continued to speak shamelessly, “I’ve always stayed in hotels before.”
“But…” His words sounded strange to Su Qingsang and she asked, “Then now, you…”
“I finished my business.”
“Then aren’t you going to return to your own home?” Since he finished his business, shouldn’t he leave already?
“NO, NO, NO.” Huo Jinyao wagged his index finger. “Since we’re married, it’s natural for me to be wherever you are.”
Su Qingsang’s lips trembled. She looked at Huo Jinyao and couldn’t help but feel that something was off. “Then what about your job?”
“I don’t have a job at the moment,” Huo Jinyao had an awkward expression on his face as he asked, “You won’t get tired of me just because of that, right?”
As Su Qingsang stared at his handsome face, that feeling as though something was off increased. “But you said before that you work for a small company.”
“Yes,” Huo Jinyao nodded. His awkward expression turned into serious one and he continued, “I used to work in C City, but I’m married to you now, aren’t I? Then, of course, I should be with you and I’ve told my boss that I won’t be returning to work. Therefore, I am currently jobless.”
Su Qingsang gaped at him. Huo Jinyao was speaking as if he was talking about the weather and she was speechless. “What did you do before?”
Maybe she could look or ask her friends to see if there were any suitable jobs for him.
Huo Jinyao didn’t answer her, but reached out his arms and pulled her into his embrace. She wasn’t used to this type of intimacy and couldn’t help herself from trying to push him away. But Huo Jinyao lowered his face and made eye contact with her.
“Are you worried that I won’t be able to take care of you since I don’t have a job?”
Su Qingsang could care less about his teasing and she awkwardly squirmed. “Just talk, let go of me.”
“You haven’t answered me yet. Are you worried that I won’t be able to take care of you?”
“I don’t need you to take care of me.” After all, Su Chenghui gave her a house and a car in order to prevent people from gossiping. Now that she was getting married, he gave her a retail store that was in a decent location.
She had already completed her trial work period at the store and was making enough money now.
“Then you take care of me.” Huo Jinyao looked at the expression of resistance on her face, and a playful look spread across his face. “Before I can find a job, I can only trouble you—my wife—to take care of me.”
How could a grown man not be ashamed while asking someone to take care of him? Su Qingsang’s lips trembled and she couldn’t care less about the fact that she was currently still in his embrace.
“What did you study? How about I help you find a job?” Su Qingsang asked.
“You said that you wouldn’t get tired of me. You’re clearly tired of me.” Huo Jinyao’s expression was full of sadness. Su Qingsang was speechless again.
This guy really doesn’t have a sense of morality.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you take care of me for nothing. I promise that as long as you take care of me, I will be able to satisfy you in every aspect,” Huo Jinyao said confidently.
