Su Qi spat out a mouthful of foam and looked at the cup in the man's hand, then took it.
Just as Su Qi was about to rinse her mouth for the third time, her chin was suddenly grasped by the man. Su Qi's mouth was full of water.
Her eyes widened as she looked at the man in front of her.
Huo Tingyun leaned down.
"Mmmph!"
The mouthwash flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
"Mmm, it looks like you've brushed it clean, no more taste."
It took a full five minutes before Huo Tingyun left Su Qi's mouth.
Su Qi's face turned red from holding her breath.
Facing such a shameless man.
She couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
"Do you remember the taste from last night?"
The man leaned close to her, his warm breath fanning her ear.
"Huo Tingyun... you..."
Shameless!
Pervert!
How could this man ask such a question!
He got the advantage and then acted all innocent!
If she hadn't been groggy last night, how could he have succeeded.
Su Qi trembled with anger, her small face flushed red, like a ripe apple.
"Heh."
"Eat breakfast."
Sister Wu was making breakfast downstairs.
When she heard footsteps, she looked up and saw Huo Tingyun carrying Su Qi downstairs.
"Good morning, Sir and Madam!"
Sister Wu's gossipy eyes immediately fell on the two of them.
Su Qi had been away from home for half a month, and she didn't expect that a brief separation would lead to such newfound marital bliss, with the young couple being so affectionate.
Even going downstairs for breakfast...
Su Qi was being carried by Huo Tingyun!
"Huo Tingyun, I'm not crippled, put me down."
When they reached the first floor, Su Qi wanted to walk herself.
Huo Tingyun raised an eyebrow and simply put Su Qi down.
The moment Su Qi's feet touched the ground, she felt uncomfortable all over. Her legs were sore, and before she could even stand steady, that feeling made her almost lose her balance, staggering and nearly falling.
"It seems I was a bit too rough with you last night?"
The man chuckled.
Even Sister Wu was secretly chuckling beside them.
Was last night too intense?
She couldn't even stand steadily!
Su Qi glared at Huo Tingyun, "I can!"
She tried to walk forward.
But her body's condition made it impossible for her to stand steady, let alone walk.
"Ouch!"
Su Qi lunged forward and fell hard.
"Pfft."
Huo Tingyun leaned down and scooped up Su Qi, who had fallen to the ground.
Fortunately, it was a wooden floor, so the fall wasn't too severe.
"If you can't move, don't force yourself."
Huo Tingyun picked up Su Qi and placed her on a chair.
Even sitting down, Su Qi felt very uncomfortable.
She stared at the man in the opposite seat with a resentful expression.
"It's all your fault..."
"Hmm? It was clearly someone who kept saying no."
The man was calm and composed, his stern face showing no hint of guilt, his dark eyes instead sparkling with amusement.
Su Qi gritted her teeth so hard they made a clicking sound.
She had underestimated this man's shamelessness.
Sister Wu, beaming with joy, brought the breakfast.
"Madam hasn't been back for a long time. This is what you love to eat, Madam. You need to nourish your body."
Sister Wu was overjoyed.
Seeing Su Qi and Huo Tingyun together was the old master's greatest wish.
If the old master's spirit in heaven saw these two so affectionate, he would surely be very pleased!
After the two had finished breakfast, Sister Wu called Huo Qingrang.
"Master, Young Master and Young Madam last night... Yes, yes, it seems the Young Master is turning over a new leaf!"
Huo Qingrang, who had just finished his breakfast, couldn't help but smile knowingly upon receiving Sister Wu's call.
"What did Sister Wu say that made you so happy?"
Qin Xue saw Huo Qingrang smiling and asked curiously.
"Su Qi is a good child."
Huo Qingrang hung up the phone without saying anything more, just praising Su Qi.
After all, Su Qi was carrying the Huo family's flesh and blood.
If they divorced, it would ultimately not be good for the child.
"She is good, but unfortunately, Tingyun doesn't like her." Qin Xue had learned from Special Assistant Lin that Huo Tingyun and Xu Linyun had already consummated their relationship. She expected to be holding her grandson soon.
"Su Qi's stomach is not cooperative, and she hasn't given the Huo family any heirs yet. Perhaps Su Qi's body is not capable."
Her son was so strong, handsome, and his body was definitely fine.
One shot, one hit.
It's been a year, and Su Qi's stomach hasn't shown any signs.
It must be that the damage to her body after that miscarriage was too severe.
Thinking this, Qin Xue became even more determined to have them divorce.
Huo Qingrang just smiled and said nothing.
It seemed that Su Qi hadn't told Qin Xue about her pregnancy.
"What if Su Qi is pregnant?"
Huo Qingrang asked tentatively.
"Pregnant? Impossible. If Su Qi were pregnant, wouldn't she tell me? The Su family doesn't want Su Qi to divorce us, after all, they give the Su family so much money every month."
Thinking of this money, Qin Xue felt a pang of heartache.
However, these were the old master's wishes from before his death. She, as a woman, couldn't interfere with company matters.
Huo Qingrang's health was not good, and for many years, the company had always been managed by Huo Tingyun.
This child had not disappointed!
"That's true." Huo Qingrang didn't ask further, finished drinking his bowl of herbal medicine, and said, "I'm going out."
He had an appointment today.
Qin Xue thought it was something related to the company and saw Huo Qingrang out, saying, "Be careful on your way."
Huo Qingrang only responded verbally and didn't look back, getting into the car directly.
The park was not crowded in the early morning.
In a secluded corner, a woman sat in a pavilion.
Lush trees surrounded her.
The car stopped outside the park. Huo Qingrang got out of the car, told the driver to wait in the car, and then walked on foot.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Huo Qingrang reached the pavilion and saw the woman sitting inside from afar.
The woman wore a floral dress. Even in her middle age, her skin was fair and firm, and she wore light makeup, making her look nothing like someone in her forties.
"Qingrang..."
Seeing Huo Qingrang, the woman couldn't hide her longing and stood up.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. There was a bit of traffic on the road today."
Huo Qingrang walked forward quickly, almost tripping on the steps.
The woman steadied Huo Qingrang's hand, and after Fu Qingran regained his balance, she directly nestled into Huo Qingrang's embrace.
"Do you know how much I've missed you?"
"Xue'er, me too."
The two hugged each other tightly.
Sheng Yuxue looked up, tears welling in her eyes. "Seeing you recover, I'm relieved. I've been very worried about you during this time..."
"I miss you all the time too."
Huo Qingrang looked down at Sheng Yuxue's face, her eyes glistening with tears, looking pitiful, which made him unable to resist pulling Sheng Yuxue into his arms, holding her tightly, his heart aching.
"You've been wronged all these years."
"I'm not wronged. Being by your side, even if it's just watching you from afar, even if it's just seeing you occasionally, I'm content. It's just..."
"Just what?"
Sheng Yuxue hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself.
"Tell me, if you have any difficulties, I will satisfy them if I can."
