To My Dear Mr. Huo

Huo Jinyao didn’t rush to grab the proposal. Instead, he stared blankly at He Xuanyao.

“If I remember correctly, this used to be the responsibility of Chief He, right?”

The “Chief” he was referring to was, naturally, He Xuankai. Huo Jinyao didn’t have much of an impression of He Xuanyao, but he had worked with He Xuankai a few times before.

They were both from Song City and both were young talents of the upper class. The sorrowful feeling couldn’t be missed.

He didn’t think that He Xuanyao would be given such a responsibility.

“That’s right, it used to be my brother’s responsibility, but I’ve returned back to the states. I studied this area and I think it will be completely fine for me to be responsible for this.”

He Xuanyao’s attitude was neither overbearing nor servile. Her attitude was courteous and polite. She now understood that some things couldn’t be obtained just by crying.

She wanted to let Huo Jinyao know that she wasn’t just a brainless beauty, but that she was talented and responsible.

“Alright, I know now.” Huo Jinyao nodded. “Leave the proposal behind. I still have a meeting. I will tell you the results later.”

“You think this isn’t very suitable though?” He Xuanyao’s voice was very gentle. “Our company is very sincere and we’ve always worked well together in the past. How come you are so hesitant now?”

“So be it if you think I’m being hesitant. I only know that every time we work together, our company has to recalculate numbers again. If you’re not clear about this, you can go back and ask Chief He.”

He Xuanyao bit her lip and was about to reply but smiled instead. “Alright, since Chief Huo has other things to take care of, then I will leave first. Chief Huo can wait until there are results to contact me. I will be in Lin City for the time being.”

Huo Jinyao was noncommital and He Xuanyao got up to leave. She stopped suddenly as she was leaving.

“That’s right, Chief Huo. I need to mention, I was lucky to bump into aunty before I came to Lin City. She seemed to miss you. If it’s convenient, you should go back to Song City to see her.”

Huo Jinyao’s eyebrows twitched and didn’t take to He Xuanyao’s words until she left and he made a call.

His secretary, Yang Wenchang, came in. “Master Huo?”

Huo Jinyao glanced at the proposal and a cold expression flashed across his eyes. “Wenchang, help me run an errand.”

Yang Wenchang listened to Huo Jinyao’s orders and stepped back quickly.

Huo Jinyao picked up the proposal, the cold expression in his eyes still lingering.

It seemed that these people are moving fast because I’m not in Song City, he thought.

Interesting, very interesting.

...

Su Qingsang had just come out of the operating room when she received a call. There was a pregnant woman in bad shape. She had performed emergency procedures on the woman with her mentor before they could stabilize both the mother and baby.

The voice on the phone made her grab her bag and phone. She left the hospital in a rush.

She only realized that her car had been driven away by Huo Jinyao when she stepped out of the hospital. She had to call a cab.

Huo Jinyao had to work and she had to be on call. They couldn’t spend all their time together. Should I go buy another car? She thought.

When she thought of this, she became a bit worried again. Huo Jinyao seemed to be very prideful. Would he overthink it if she really did buy a car?

She realized that she was considering Huo Jinyao’s principles and her mood subtly increased.

Huo Jinyao. Her mind filled with the scenes of him holding her and acting shamelessly. The corners of her mouth softened and she didn’t even notice.
