Chapter 435 - 435 She Guessed
435 She Guessed
Su Qing didn’t hear what she wanted to hear, so she nodded without hesitation. She didn’t reject Huo Qi’s suggestion, but she took her wrist out of his palm.
At some point, Su Qing, who had always been straightforward, had actually learned how to be tactful and hide her thoughts!
She was getting more and more understanding of people’s various emotions and understood that many things in this world couldn’t be maintained very well just by relying on simple, neat, and rationality. Emotions between people were very complicated; one needed to be tactful, and create a mutual understanding with each other.
Seeing Su Qing open the door and leave, Huo Qi frowned slightly and a complicated and obscure light flashed through his eyes. He sighed imperceptibly and followed her.
Huo Ming looked at Miss Su, who was walking out of the young master’s room on the second floor. However, the smile on his face disappeared after he observed the gloomy atmosphere between Su Qing and Huo Qi.
He looked at his young master deeply and then at Su Qing. He smiled faintly and said, “The kitchen made a lot of Miss Su’s favorite food at night. Miss Su, you have to eat more later!”
Hearing that, Su Qing paused for a moment, as if she found what Huo Ming said a bit strange and strange. However, after sizing up Huo Qi from the corner of her eye, she understood his intentions.
She said softly and politely, “Thank you, Uncle Ming, but I have something on at the last minute today, so I’m afraid I can’t stay for dinner. Tell Uncle Huo for me that I’ll come again if there’s a chance in the future. I’ll make a move first!”
Su Qing and Huo Ming had only met a few times in total, so they certainly weren’t very close. Huo Ming made it clear as soon as he spoke. He knew what Su Qing liked to eat, so who else could the reliable source of this information be other than the man behind her?
Huo Qi really looked like someone who would do such a detailed and thoughtful thing, but Su Qing didn’t want to say anything to him right now, even though her heart had already softened a bit.
“Huh? You’re leaving already?” Huo Ming pretended to be surprised and confused. He glanced at his young master, who had a sullen face, and looked at Su Qing even more gently and kindly. “What’s wrong? Did Young Master make you angry?”
Su Qing was silent and didn’t say anything else. She gestured for the servant to take her bag and shook her head. She smiled at Huo Ming and walked towards the door.
Seeing that his move didn’t work, Huo Ming looked up and exchanged glances with his young master. Seeing Huo Qi shake his head, he quickly reacted and followed Su Qing quickly, sending her out considerately.
Huo Jue stood at the door of the study on the first floor and looked at the scene in front of him. He also asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with Qingqing? Did you make her angry?”
Huo Qi raised his hand and pinched the corner of his eyebrows. He nodded gently to show that Huo Jue was right.
Huo Jue was a bit surprised. He walked towards Huo Qi and said in a confused tone, “Weren’t you fine just then? What did you do to make Qingqing so angry? She left without even saying goodbye to me.”
“It’s nothing. It’s just a small conflict,” Huo Qi said as he looked up at Huo Ming, who was walking back from the door, with a questioning look in his eyes.
How would Huo Ming not know what Young Master meant? He reported, “I’ve already asked the chauffeur to send Miss Su back. She didn’t say anything, but she didn’t look very angry either.”
Huo Ming said as he looked at his young master’s gloomy handsome face and asked tentatively, “Was Miss Su angry because of the leader of the killers? Young Master, why must you hide it from Miss Su? Is there anything you can’t say?”
Under Huo Jue and Huo Ming’s questioning gazes, Huo Qi frowned and said in a deep voice, “I guess she must have guessed something.”
Of course, he couldn’t tell Su Qing about this so directly. If she knew that those killers were sent by Namphan, she would definitely attack Sky Splitter. Then, everything after that wouldn’t be good!
Huo Qi had promised Yuan Yi that he would protect Su Qing for the rest of her life and protect her peaceful life now, so that Su Qing wouldn’t remember those painful memories in the past!
And what Huo Qi was doing now was to achieve this goal.
However, his Qingqing was really too smart. It wasn’t easy for her to bluff her way through directly, so Huo Qi chose to tell half of the truth!
