Chapter 19: She’s Raising a Gigolo

What did he mean by every aspect? Su Qingchang wondered.

Su Qingsang realized what his words meant, followed his gaze, and finally pushed him away.

“Enough,” she said sternly. He was getting even more ridiculous. She stepped back and cleared her throat. “I still have work to do. If you have nothing to do, then clean up this area.”

Su Qingsang had a decent salary and a substantial amount of savings, so feeding another person wasn’t a big deal for her.

Her gaze swept across Huo Jinyao’s face. Did she take in a gigolo?

She furrowed her eyebrows and her head suddenly started to hurt. The situation couldn’t be described as her bringing in a troublemaker. She chose the person herself and she was the one who wanted to get married. Since it was already like this, she didn’t know what to do.

Everyone had his or her ups and downs in life, so it was understandable that he wasn’t able to find a job for the time being. However, she still felt weird about the fact that a fully-grown man could do something like asking a woman to take care of him.

How shameless he was for being able to say those words so freely?

She furrowed her eyebrows. If Su Peizhen was to find out that she picked such a man after all her nitpicking, it would cause a lot of drama.

She eyed Huo Jinyao up and down once again and sighed when she made eye contact with his playful expression.

Whatever. This’ll have to do for now. For the past few days, she really needed him around in order to put on an act.

As for the future, if they didn’t get along or if their principles clashed, she would find a way to get a divorce.

As long as they visit her home at least three times and prove that they’re a couple, Su Peizhen would probably stop bothering them. When that time comes, Su Qingsang would be able to get rid of this man.

“Are you worried now?” Huo Jinyao seemed to know what she was worried about. “Don’t worry, I was just kidding. I helped my boss resolve a huge issue before I resigned, so we won’t starve even if I don’t work.”

He observed her expression as he talked, as if he was worried that she was regretting everything. “If you don’t believe me, then I can go find a job tomorrow.”

Su Qingsang wearily waved her hand. “Whatever. No rush.” She glanced at Huo Jinyao again.

She walked into her study room as she spoke, “I need to take care of some business. Don’t bother me.”

Even though it was a study room, it wasn’t a big one.

Su Qingsang had three bedrooms that were divided into one living room, one guest room, and the main bedroom. The main bedroom was divided in half; one half was turned into a closet and the other half into a study room.

She sat behind her desk, opened her notebook, and planned to finish writing her essay in order to hand it in.

This was the negative aspect of being a doctor. Writing essays was an essential part of her education.

Su Qingsang wrote intensely and didn’t notice the time passing by. She had only noticed that it was already noon when she heard a knock on the door. There were two more knocks on the study room door and before she decided to get up, she saw Huo Jinyao standing outside the door.

“Time to eat.”

Those three simple words made Su Qingsang feel uneasy in her heart.

She has been living alone in this home all this time and only once in while would Shi Mengwan stay over for a day or two. However, after that brat had opened her own office, she had stopped staying over at Su Qingsang’s place for longer than one night.

For the first time, she suddenly realized that there was an additional person in this home now. And that she had already gotten married.

Huo Jinyao was a bit confused as he stared at Su Qingsang’s dazed expression.

“Qingsang, it’s time to eat.”
