A thoughtful expression appeared almost instantly on Huo Jinyao’s face. “Your stomach isn’t good? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“No, he was just kidding.” Su Qingsang was somewhat uncomfortable. “Back when I was busy with my papers my diet was poor, so it used to be. I pay more attention to what I eat this year, so my stomach is fine.”
“Really?” Huo Jinyao frowned and looked over Su Qingsang’s body. “If you really feel uncomfortable, just tell me. Otherwise, I will worry.”
The concern in his eyes stunned Su Qingsang for a moment and a ridiculous idea popped into her head. Did Huo Jinyao love her?
Then she shook her head. How could it be?
This guy has only been with me for a short time. How could he love me?
Su Qingsang noticed that Zuo Hongchen had been watching her, and then she suddenly understood.
Huo Jinyao acted like this to maintain her image in front of Zuo and her colleagues at the hospital. Delivering their wedding candies could be another way to protect their image.
Thinking this, she felt a bit more comfortable and smiled at Huo Jinyao. “Okay. I promise I’ll tell you if I am ever uncomfortable.”
“That’s great.” Huo Jinyao held her hand, with a warmer expression. “Now that your stomach is better, how about eating Sichuan?”
“Okay.” She actually liked cuisines such as Sichuan and Hunan. Although they tasted kind of heavy and spicy, they were very delicious.
Observing Huo Jinyao’s behavior, a glimmer of a smile appeared on Zuo Hongchen’s face. A colder expression, however, appeared in his eyes.
“You do love Qingsang.”
“Of course.” Huo Jinyao looked at him, with a calm expression. “Qingsang is my wife, treating her well is my duty.”
Although Su Qingsang knew he was lying, his words were so sweet she couldn’t help but blush.
It seems like Huo Jinyao works as an actor. How can he perform in such an authentic way? His words almost convinced her.
Next, Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang got in their car. Zuo Hongchen drove his car behind them.
“Your superior looks very young.”
Huo Jinyao looked at Zuo Hongchen’s car in the rearview mirror and said that in a very casual tone.
“Yes, he is. He is less than thirty.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah. Although he is less than thirty, he is a master. He majored in cardiac surgery. On top of having excellent medical skills, he has published many papers in many national academic journals.”
“Sounds excellent.”
Huo Jinyao looked at the red light and slightly narrowed his eyes.
“Yes.” Su Qingsang nodded. “I want to be as good a doctor as he is.”
Her words showed nothing but admiration. Huo Jinyao turned a bit and looked at her.
A glimmer of hope showed through her clear eyes. She really hoped she could become a good doctor.
“You will be.”
“Thank you.” His unearned trust made Su Qingsang feel a little strange.
Looking at Huo Jinyao’s profile, she found he was really handsome. Besides his looks, he was also very articulate and considerate.
No matter whether he was sincere or not, she was kind of moved. She was by no means offended.
She shook her head and found she was paying a lot of attention to Huo Jinyao, which she was unaccustomed to.
Fortunately, they got to the restaurant quickly. Su Qingsang got out of the car, and Zuo Hongchen’s car arrived almost at the same time.
Once Huo Jinyao got out of the car, he approached Su Qingsang and placed his hand on her shoulder. Finding Su Qingsang’s body was not as stiff as the past, a glimmer of a smile flashed on his face.
