To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 402

Chapter 402: That’s Not My Baby

When her heart leaped, she felt as if every cell of her body, every ounce of her blood had been beating for the man named Huo Jinyao.

She found that she liked him more and more. She was falling in love with him.

How could such a perfect man even exist in this world?

She didn’t like him for his good looks or for his wealthy family. She liked him for how nice he was.

He protected her, cherished her, loved her family and her. He took care of Xiang Caiping’s every meal. He consulted dietitians and doctors for that purpose.

Xiang Caiping was bored in the hospital. After all, she wasn’t able to move or do anything. Huo Jinyao came to visit her whenever he had time and tried his best to make her happy.

Thanks to Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao, Xiang Caiping had been in a good mood during her days at the hospital.

Huo Jinyao did all that for her because she was Su Qingsang’s mother. He loved Su Qingsang, so he took good care of her mother.

“What’s wrong? Isn’t the soup good?” Huo Jinyao glanced at Su Qingsang questioningly, as he noticed that she had been holding the bowl without eating the soup.

“It’s good. It’s just a little too hot.”

“Is it?” It had been a while since the soup was delivered to the hospital from ChaoWen Courtyard. It should have cooled down long ago.

“Not anymore,” Su Qingsang smiled. “Let’s eat.”

After lunch, Xiao Ning tidied the table, and Su Qingsang spent a while chatting with Xiang Caiping and Huo Jinyao. After that, Xiang Caiping felt tired.

As she fell asleep, Su Qingsang held Huo Jinyao’s hand, stood up and led him outside.

“Are you heading back to your company?”

“Mmm,” Huo Jinyao nodded and added, “I have two meetings to attend to this afternoon.”

Su Qingsang didn’t ask any further questions. She knew nothing about his business anyway. “You seem tired these days. Maybe you should spend the coming weekend at home and get some sleep.”

Huo Jinyao stopped walking, looked at her and said, “Are you worried about me?”

Su Qingsang blushed slightly. She turned her face away and said, “No. I’m worried about myself. You come here every day. It’s a bit too much, to be honest.”

“Too much? Your eyes glowed when you saw me.”

“That’s not true,” Su Qingsang would not admit that. “My eyes glow no matter who I see.”

“Including Su Chenghui?” He heard that Su Chenghui came to the hospital twice, but Su Qingsang didn’t let him see Xiang Caiping.

Hearing that name, Su Qingsang’s expression changed immediately. “Yes,” she said, “I need to be extra careful around him. I can’t let him see my mother.”

“I think you hate him.”

“Not exactly. It’s just that my mom doesn’t want to see him.”

She didn’t hate Su Chenghui. No matter how awful that man was, he was still her father. She still gave him basic respect.

Huo Jinyao stayed silent and looked at Su Qingsang. Soon, another thing crossed his mind, “Grandpa called me.”

“Old Master Huo?”

“He wants me to bring you back to Rong City for the New Year.”

Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang and added, “That’s what he said. I’ve told him that you can’t leave Lin City Now, so you can’t go to Rong City for the New Year.”

Su Qingsang pressed her lips together and looked at Huo Jinyao. She couldn’t stay as bland as he was. “Huo Jinyao, Grandpa isn’t happy, is he?”

“How come?” Old Master Huo was a very thoughtful person. “He knows that your mom had a car accident. He wants you to take good care of her, and not to worry about anything else.”

“Em,” Su Qingsang had met Old Master Huo. She knew that he was a very nice man. “But your parents are unhappy, aren’t they?”

“Don’t worry about them,” Huo Jinyao looked at her. He didn’t want to lie to her. “They are unhappy, but they can’t do anything. Just ignore them. But I might need to make a trip back to Rong City in a couple of days.”

It was the end of the year. He had a lot of work to do in Rong City as well. If Xiang Caiping weren’t in the hospital, he would have flown there long ago.

“Will you be gone for long?” Su Qingsang detected his meaning. He might need to stay in Rong City for a while.

“There are a lot of things for me to deal with. When I get it all done, it might be the New Year. I need to keep my Grandpa company during the New Year celebration.”

Su Qingsang fell into silence. It was the first year of their marriage, yet they wouldn’t be able to celebrate the New Year together.

“Maybe I should ask the doctor if your mom can travel now.”

“Don’t.” Su Qingsang was a doctor herself. “My mom can’t fly at the moment. Even if we brought her there, we would need to find her a new hospital and a new doctor, and she would have to adapt to the new environment. You can handle those things easily, but I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

Looking at the struggling expression on her face, Huo Jinyao couldn’t smile. “Don’t go, then. I’ll try my best to come back on the first day of the New Year to keep you two company.”

“You don’t need to do that.” That was not what Su Qingsang wanted. “In fact, I was on duty during the last New Year. I celebrated the New Year at the hospital. It would be fine.”

She didn’t make it sound like a big deal, but still, Huo Jinyao felt sad for her. On the days she didn’t have to celebrate New Year at the hospital, she was probably unhappy too. After all, the Su Family was never a real family for her.

He decided to get his work done as soon as possible, then come back to celebrate New Year together with Su Qingsang.

“We’ll talk about it later.” It was still two weeks until the New Year. Perhaps Xiang Caiping would heal well and be discharged by then.

“Em.”

After Huo Jinyao left, Su Qingsang returned to the room and checked on Xiang Caiping. The latter was still asleep, so she went downstairs and returned to her own department.

Downstairs, she saw a few people gathering in the hallway near the obstetrics department.

One of them was a man, about thirty years old, tall and slim. He was forcibly holding Huang Jie’s hands.

“What are you doing?” Su Qingsang quickly made a few steps forward and shielded Huang Jie with her body. “This is a hospital, not a place to make scenes. Let go of her!”

“No. First, you give me back my baby.”

What baby? Su Qingsang turned to Huang Jie. The man grabbed her hand so hard that her face was twisted in pain.

“Doctor Su, thank God you’re here. Please explain it to the patient’s husband.”

“Explain what?”

“This is the car accident patient’s husband. He saw the medical examination report of the baby just now, and he thinks we gave him the wrong baby.”

“What exactly is going in here? Tell me more details.”

“Details? You want the details?” The man made a step forward. “My wife has blood type O, and I have AB, but you gave me a baby with blood type A. Are you fooling with me? Huh?”
