To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 503

Chapter 503: My Husband Is Huo Jinyao

After standing at the door for a few seconds, Su Qingsang opened it to find several people waiting outside. When she opened the door, they gave every appearance of being about to barge into the room.

Looking at their conduct, Su Qingsang stepped in front of them.

“Who are you?”

Su Qingsang didn’t let them come in. Glancing at them, she realized that there were at least five people, and they were all in black suits.

At the end of the corridor, she heard loud protests. The other guests were far from pleased.

The room with the hot tub inside was warm while the corridor was a little bit cold with the wind blowing.

“What do you want?”

The man who led the squad looked at Su Qingsang and stepped forward. “Excuse me, my boss’s dog is missing, so we are looking for it.”

“There is no dog here,” replied Su Qingsang. She frowned at his words. Dog? Could they be looking for Zhang Yichen?

“Yes or no, let us go inside and take a look.”

“Sir, I’m here as a customer. Since you have come into my room without my consent and are disturbing my time at the hot spring, can I make a complaint to your boss?”

“Sorry, the dog that is missing is precious. We have to find it.”

As he spoke, he lifted his hands, signaling the people behind to rush in.

How could Su Qingsang allow them to come inside? She blocked their entry with her body. “Please think twice. I am not someone to be trifled with. Do you know who I am?”

The lead man wore a mustache, and after listening to her words, he stopped moving. Taking a step back, he looked up and down at Su Qingsang.

Hair in a high bun, Su Qingsang was wearing a bathrobe right now. The man didn’t recognize her.

Su Qingsang glared at the man. “I am the wife of Huo Jinyao, CEO of Tianyu Group. How can you disregard my discontent and insist on coming in? Aren’t you afraid that my husband will be unhappy about that?”

The man with the mustache squinted his eyes while looking at Su Qingsang. Taking a step backward, Su Qingsang was blunt. “Come in. You are looking for a dog, right? Come inside. But I am here as a guest. I have a card from my husband and he said that I could relax here. If you mean to do it anyway, I can’t object to you searching inside. But if you fail to find the dog, and if you disturb me, I don’t mind telling my husband how your salon treats your VIP guests.”

The mustache man was about to open his mouth, but the person behind him stepped forward and whispered something to him.

Staring at Su Qingsang, the mustache man didn’t make another move but said, “We are only looking for a dog. Madam, please allow us to come in and take a look.”

“I have already said it many times. There is no dog in my room. Do you think that I don’t know whether there is a dog in my room or not? Or, are you doing this on purpose to piss me off?”

While she was talking, the manager of the salon came over. He knew that Su Qingsang was a guest with one of the limited golden VIP cards.

At the sight of Su Qingsang, he nodded and grinned apologetically.

“Sorry, Mrs. Huo. My men didn’t recognize you. They are not targetting you, but it’s just that our boss values the missing dog and has ordered us to find it. Could you do us a favor and let my men go inside and take a look? Just one look. We promise we will not disturb you after that.”

Su Qingsang stood still, not planning to let them go in. The manager went one step further, saying, “Mrs. Huo, you can rest assured that my boss and Mr. Huo know each other. They are both important figures in Rong City’s business circle. I believe that if Mr. Huo was here, he would definitely help my boss. Why don’t you let us take your time just for a few minutes?”

Since the manager made himself clear, Su Qingsang smiled and said, “All right. Only a few minutes, right? It’s okay. Come in and take a look.”

While she was speaking, she took a few steps into her room and stood in front of the closet on purpose. “Come in.”

The manager looked at the mustache man, who then took his men inside and looked around. The room was not big, so they could see with a glance if there was another person there or not.

The mustache man backed out and stared at the thing behind Su Qingsang. It was the closet.

Eyes directed at the closet, it was clear that he wanted to open it and took a look. Su Qingsang met his eyes and smiled. “Do you want to search the closet? What? Do you suspect that your boss’s dog could open the closet and run into it? Come on, search it—”

While she was talking, she pretended that she was going to pull the door of the closet. The mustache man cleared his throat. “No worries. Sorry for the interruption.”

The salon manager also nodded heavily. “Sorry, Mrs. Huo. I am so sorry we disturbed you. We will apologize to Mr. Huo someday.”

“No need to apologize,” said Su Qingsang as she folded her arms across her chest. “I am here to relax, and to be frank, I have lost my enjoyment. Since you know you have disturbed me, why are you still here? Don’t you want me to stay anymore? Is this the way you guys do business?”

“Sorry, we are leaving now. We are so sorry to have disturbed you. Please forgive us.”

While the manager was talking, the mustache man was still staring at the closet behind Su Qingsang. He looked like he still wanted to open the closet to search it.

His irritated eyes glanced at Su Qingsang. Su Qingsang took a step forward, her face congested with anger for being disturbed.

The manager apologized over and over again and said that all the expenses Su Qingsang had that day would be complimentary. After that, he left with his men.

Su Qingsang couldn’t relax after they left. Instead, she kept standing in front of the closet, looking unhappy. Fortunately, when the mustache man looked back at Su Qingsang in the corridor, he saw her face and left without suspicion.

She looked unconcerned, but Su Qingsang knew how nervous and stiff she was. After the last person disappeared down the corridor, she closed the door slowly.

With the door closed, she leaned against the door without a movement. She felt cold sweat trickling down her back because she had been worried that the mustache man would insist on opening the closet.

She waited for a while, and when she made sure the footsteps were far away, she opened the closet. Zhang Yichen came out of it.

“Thank you.”

“No problem,” said Su Qingsang, shaking her head. She looked at Zhang Yichen’s outfit, which was also black.

“Are they looking for you?”

“Yes.”

“May I ask what you have done?” As soon as she asked, Su Qingsang realized she posed the wrong question. Considering Zhang Yichen’s identity, he wouldn’t talk about it.

“Nothing, I took something from their boss.” Zhang Yichen made his situation clear while omitting the details. Su Qingsang didn’t ask further.

The mustache man and his men hadn’t gotten very far away, so Zhang Yichen couldn’t leave right now. Looking at Su Qingsang who seemed awkward, he expressed his gratitude sincerely.

“It’s okay.” Su Qingsang now regained composure. She believed that even if they were to come back, it would not be right now. “I should thank you. You gave me a chance to throw my weight at them.”

No matter whether in Lin City or Rong City, this was the first time she had taken advantage of her identity to put pressure on other people. It was fun, though.

Staring at her, Zhang Yichen realized that Su Qingsang was very smart because she had anticipated their reaction.

“I think Jinyao will not mind you using his power on others.”

“Of course, it would be a dream come true for him.” At the thought of Huo Jinyao, the corners of her mouth turned up a little bit.

If Huo Jinyao found out about what had happened, he would probably defend her again and take it out on them. Huo Jinyao hated to see other people offending Su Qingsang.

While she was thinking about Huo Jinyao, her face turned gentle, which made her look more beautiful than ever.

Gazing at her face, Zhang Yichen couldn’t keep his eyes off her.

Feeling his gaze, Su Qingsang went back to keeping a straight face, and uncomfortably, she took a step back.

“Well, how are you going to get out of here? I remember they have cameras here.”

“My colleagues disabled them.”

However, the effect would only last for 15 minutes. It had already been ten minutes since he had come in.

Speaking of that, she realized that he should leave right now, to avoid being captured by the cameras.

“But, they are looking for you in every nook and cranny.” Su Qingsang didn’t plan on meddling, but since he was here, she naturally had to ask. After all, he was Huo Jinyao’s uncle.

“No worries, I have my ways.”

When Zhang Yichen was talking, he tried to direct his eyes solely on Su Qingsang’s face.

Her bathrobe looked a little heavy. But even if she tightened the cord, he could still see her delicate collarbone.

She folded her arms across her chest, which made her figure very prominent.

Since she was just finished with the hot spring, her skin looked rosy. She had a graceful demeanor, as charming as a lotus rising out of water.

Zhang Yichen couldn’t keep himself from thinking about the scene where he had seen Su Qingsang in the hot tub earlier on. He recalled her naked shoulder, bony and squared, and her fair skin, like porcelain. Zhang Yichen suddenly discovered that the beauty which poems talked about turned out to exist in real life.

As the hands on his sides tightened, Zhang Yichen tried to distract himself.

Su Qingsang stopped asking. Since he said that he had a way out, she didn’t need to bother anymore.

Both of them were silent, standing face to face. The awkwardness was breeding in the air.

Realizing what was happening, Su Qingsang stepped backward unnoticed. She was wondering why Shi Mengwan hadn’t shown up yet.

Noticing her movement, Zhang Yichen stiffened his firm chin, forcing himself to neglect her evasive attitude towards him. He told himself that she was married and was his niece.

“Do you have the hot spring all to yourself?” Earlier on, noticing the door unlatched, Zhang Yichen thought that the room was vacant. Thus, he took it as an opportunity for himself to hide.

He didn’t expect that he would run into Su Qingsang. He was also taken aback by the fact that she was in a hot tub by herself.
