Huo Jinyao squinted his eyes as he spoke.

“No.” Who would bully her? No. Who has the time to bully her?

Although her existence had made their lives difficult, they were still people of the upper cla.s.s of society. They care about their reputation, so why would they possibly bully an illegitimate daughter?

“I think Su Peizhen is unfriendly towards you.”

“Her?” Su Qingsang chuckled. “She really doesn’t like me. She would never stoop to giving me a hard time, though.”

Huo Jinyao held her waist and spun her around. “Was life hard at the Su household when you lived there?”

Su Qingsang looked at the care in his eyes and smiled.

“What? You don’t think I’m Cinderella, that I got bullied by my stepmother. Do you?”

“Are you not?”

“Of course not.” Su Qingsang shook her head. “Mostly, they just ignored me.”

“It’s alright. I won’t ignore you.” Huo Jinyao kissed her hard on the cheeks. “Wherever you are, I can never ignore you.”

He has a way with words. Su Qingsang didn’t believe him though.

How long has it been since we met? How long have we been together for? Today was the mid-autumn festival and she couldn’t help but be moved a bit by his words.

“I don’t believe it.” How could I not see it? Huo Jinyao thought.

“Believe, believe, believe. Thank you for regarding me so highly.”

She said that, but her face didn’t express any grat.i.tude.

“You’re thanking me?” Huo Jinyao lowered his voice and pressed his forehead against hers.

“What?” His expression was playful and Su Qingsang’s instinct told her to run.

“It’s too insincere to just say thanks.” Huo Jinyao lifted her up in one movement. “How about you express it more realistically?”

“Huo Jinyao.” She was only being courteous. How could he change the topic like that?

Huo Jinyao brought her into the room and placed her on the bed. Su Qingsang muttered, “Um, the curtains aren’t closed.”

“That’s alright.”

“No, no way.”

“We live very high off the ground anyways, and no one lives across from us.”

“But…”

“You see, the moonlight is so great, don’t you think it really sets the mood?”

“Huo Jinyao.” She felt uncomfortable with the curtains still open.

“Shh.” Huo Jinyao kissed her mouth, then whispered in her ear, “It’s alright. No one can see us.”

Su Qingsang clenched her teeth, unable to speak a single word.

Huo Jinyao whispered in her ear again, “Seeing a beauty under the moon. The more I look, the more beautiful she becomes. Wife, why don’t you try on all the sleepwear I bought for you?”

Su Qingsang’s face turned as red as a cooked shrimp. “You, I don’t want…”

“Wife, just satisfy me.”

Huo Jinyao kissed her earlobes gently.

Su Qingsang turned her face away and decided to ignore this guy.

…

Huo Jinyao stared at He Xuankai. who was in front of him. He Xuanyao had also come to see him.

It had only been a few days but He Xuankai and He Xuanyao had already brought a new proposal.

They were speedy, but who knew if it was any good?

He Xuanyao stared at Huo Jinyao. She was still upset at how Huo Jinyao had made her look bad before. She had come with the intention of making herself look better this time.

“Huo Jinyao, you are so busy. It’s so difficult to get to see you.”

“Xuankai, you are too courteous. How is it difficult to want to see me? It’s clearly the He family that is too busy.” Huo Jinyao was very calm and acted as if he had no clue what He Xuankai had come for. “How is it you had the time to come to my small temple today?”
