He looked at Zuo Hongchen and Zuo Hongchen looked back at him. It wasnt difficult to guess for them to guess the others identity from the way they spoke.
Zuo Hongchen seemed as if he wasnt up to anything suspicious, but he took a tiny step in Su Qingsangs direction.
Uh. Su Qingsang was confused when she realized that Zuo Hongshen was standing very close to her.
Zuo Hongchen was her chiefs son and her superior. Her relationship with him was pretty good.
Su Qingsang didnt think too much about it, but when she realized that he was standing very close to her she made eye contact with Huo Jinyao. She suddenly felt guilty.
It was unbelievable.
Let me introduce you. This is Zuo Hongchen, my superior. Senior, this is Huo Jinyao, my spouse.
She couldnt bring herself to say the word husband. Huo Jinyao raised an eyebrow at her choice of words.
He was not satisfied with such an introduction and couldnt get over the way Zuo Hongchen moved closer to her just now.
This man, he probably has other intentions towards Su Qingsang.
He knew in his heart that it was true, but he stepped forward anyway and reached his hand out towards Zuo Hongchen out of courtesy.
Senior Zuo, right? Ill call you senior as well then. Im Huo Jinyao, Qingsangs husband.
Zuo Hongshen reached out his hand to shake Huo Jinyaos. Both men squeezed the others hand tightly and then quickly let go.
Huo Jinyao pulled Su Qingsang into an embrace as he retracted his hand, and Su Qingsang suddenly felt awkward. She still needed time to get used to the way Huo Jinyao would suddenly grab her hand, hold her waist, or put his arm around her shoulder.
Huo Jinyao felt her body tense up and held her tighter.
Lets leave work since youre done with your business.
Huo Jinyao, Su Qingsang said, awkwardly scratched her nose. Senior just got back today and I promised that I would treat him to a meal.
Zuo Hongchen stood there and measured up Huo Jinyao.
He seemed to be very tall and charismatic. He noticed that Huo Jinyaos hands were very lean when they shook hands and that he was very strong as well.
How did Su Qingsang get to know a man like him when she was always buried in research and busy at the hospital? He was very curious. As he heard Su Qingsangs words, he snapped out of his thoughts and smirked. He said, Thats right. Qingsang promised to treat me today.
Huo Jinyao held Su Qingsang tighter as he replied. Since youre Qingsangs superior, then I should be the one to treat you.
His expression was friendly and he continued. Senior, you werent around when Qingsang and I got married, so this treat is a must. I wonder, what do you like to eat?
I just got back, so I miss Chinese food. Anythings fine as long as its Chinese cuisine.
Zuo Hongchen wasnt picky. Huo Jinyao nodded and turned his head to look at Su Qingsang. Then lets go get Sichuan. Is that alright?
Sure.
Lets not get Sichuan.
Their two different responses made Huo Jinyao tilt his face towards Zuo Hongchen. Senior, you dont like it?
Its not that I dont like it, but Qingsangs stomach isnt that strong. Lets not eat something so spicy, alright?
As he spoke, his expression was very calm and natural, as if he was looking out for his peer.
Huo Jinyao understood the hidden meaning behind his words. Zuo Hongchen knew that Su Qingsang couldnt eat spicy foods, even though he only knew her from work, and Huo Jinyao had suggested it even though he was her husband.
Huo Jinyao squinted and his eyes flashed a little. It seemed like there was more to this man.
There was a slight sense of tension in the air, but Su Qingsang didnt notice at all.
