To My Dear Mr. Huo Chapter 240 – She Could Only Hold It Back

Chapter 240: She Could Only Hold It Back

A lot of thoughts were racing through her brain, but she was more excited than confused. Countless thoughts kept running through her mind until her housekeeper said her name. “Sister Xiang, why don’t you eat? The dishes are going to get cold.”

When she came back from her thoughts, the housekeeper was looking at her with an inquisitive and worried look.

She smiled at her and said she was okay. This smile made the housekeeper scared for a moment, as she had not seen Sister Xiang smile in a long time.

Sister Xiang’s face did not immediately regain its composure. She tried to hold it back, and her face slowly returned to normal.

“Sister Xiang.” The housekeeper could not restrain her curiosity and finally asked, “What do you think of the food today?”

“It’s fine.”

“Sister Xiang, you haven’t been out much these past few days. Would you like to go out now? The weather forecast said it would be sunny, but it will rain in a few days. Then, it will snow in another few days.”

“All right. I’ll go out.”

The housekeeper was even more surprised that Sister Xiang really seemed to be going out. She said quickly, “I’ll get the car ready later. Where are you going? I’ll go with you.”

“Look how late it is now. I’ll go out tomorrow, not now.”

“Yes.” The housekeeper smiled and continued her dinner. She still thought that there was something wrong with Sister Xiang today.

Sister Xiang glanced at the screen, thinking that she must go out tomorrow to find Su Qingsang. She was going to tell her that she was her mother. She also wanted to tell her that she…

Sister Xiang stopped eating for a moment. Her excitement that she had just found out that Su Qingsang was in Rong City, the same city as her, had passed. She thought of something else.

She had promised that, as long as Su Qingsang had a good life, she would never go and reveal herself to her.

She had promised, so how could she go to see her?

Her heart sank little by little. Her face became as pale as it usually was.

Watching her face change, the housekeeper was not surprised at all. She had been with Sister Xiang for many years and figured out long ago that she was always like that—gloomy, cold, unsmiling, and difficult to get close to.

Sister Xiang’s eyes went back to the screen, but it had already turned to another show. She would not even get to hear the name again, let alone see the person.

Now, what was she going to do?

…

After being entangled most of the night, Su Qingsang was so badly bullied by Huo Jinyao that she had no strength to move. Having soft hands and feet, she did not want to move even a fingertip.

She glared at Huo Jinyao hatefully and turned her back to him. Huo Jinyao shamelessly put his arm around her waist and his chin on her neck. “Sweetheart, are you mad?”

“Who has the time to be mad at you?”

Su Qingsang didn’t admit it and patted his hand to get him to let go of her. Even such a simple move made her arms sore.

She grew angrier and said, “Let me go.”

“No.”

“If you don’t, I’ll be angry.”

“If I do, I’ll be discouraged,” Huo Jinyao said and kissed her neck. “I can’t sleep well without you in my arms now.”

“Nonsense. You haven’t slept well in the past 30 years?”

“No,” Huo Jinyao said, half-seriously, half-joking. “When we weren’t married and when you didn’t let me sleep with you in my arms, I had nightmares every night.”

“Oh, you did.” Su Qingsang could not bear to listen to him. This man got more and more ridiculous in order to take advantage of her. “Nightmares? Every night? Why? Have you done something wrong?”
