Chapter 21: Huo Qingyan Really Does Have Feelings For You
Huo Qingyan was a little surprised: “It’s just ordinary breakfast.”
Zhou Fu also turned to look at Lin Siyue. In his opinion, Lin Siyue’s words were rather inappropriate.
Lin Siyue glanced at the breakfast box again: “But it looks delicious.”
Jiang Su’s heart tightened, hoping Huo Qingyan wouldn’t give the breakfast to Lin Siyue.
But Huo Qingyan didn’t fulfill his wish; he gestured for Zhou Fu to hand the breakfast to Lin Siyue: “Eat it.”
Zhou Fu hesitated for a moment, but did as he was told.
Jiang Su could only watch helplessly as Huo Qingyan gave his breakfast to Lin Siyue.
Lin Siyue took a bite, his eyes widening in surprise: “It’s delicious! I wish I could eat this every day.”
“I’ll bring you another one tomorrow.” Jiang Su had been idle at home recently; as long as he wanted to eat it, Jiang Su would definitely make breakfast for him every day.
Jiang Su didn’t expect Huo Qingyan to agree to Lin Siyue’s request without hesitation.
Lin Siyue looked extremely happy: “Thank you, Qingyan.”
To Jiang Su, his smile was blinding.
It was the kind of happy smile only someone who was cherished would have.
Jiang Su reached for the doorknob, almost wanting to immediately kick the door open, rush in, and turn the breakfast box upside down on Lin Siyue’s face.
Inside, Huo Qingyan had already gotten up and prepared to leave: “Get some rest. I’ll go to the company.”
Jiang Su’s hands reacted faster than his brain; he quickly retracted his hand, turned around, and hid to the side.
After Huo Qingyan and Zhou Fu left, he came out again.
Passing Lin Siyue’s ward, Jiang Su peeked through the observation window on the door and saw Lin Siyue throw the breakfast into the trash can.
As if sensing something, Lin Siyue looked up towards Jiang Su.
Their eyes met.
Since Lin Siyue had already seen him, Jiang Su pushed open the door and went in.
Lin Siyue sat by the hospital bed, smiling at Jiang Su: “Jiang Su, are you here to see Qingyan? It’s a pity you’re late; he stayed with me all night and just left.”
His gentle tone, every word like a knife, intentionally stabbing Jiang Su’s pain points.
“Even if one day Huo Qingyan and I divorce, Old Master Huo will absolutely not agree to you two being together!”
Jiang Su tightened his jaw, staring intently at Lin Siyue, with a ruthlessness similar to Huo Qingyan’s.
The expression on Lin Siyue’s face froze, both at Jiang Su’s ruthless expression and the words he spoke.
Jiang Su was right. The reason Huo Zhenheng agreed to Jiang Su and Huo Qingyan’s marriage was because he coveted the Jiang family’s power.
The Lin family was already declining; Lin Siyue couldn’t bring any benefit to the Huo family. Huo Zhenheng wouldn’t only disagree; he might even take steps to “deal with” Lin Siyue.
Lin Siyue started to feel a little scared, tugging at the corner of his lips into a strained smile: “Qingyan and I are just friends. Don’t misunderstand.”
“Really?” Jiang Su didn’t know what Huo Qingyan was really thinking, but Lin Siyue was clearly using the guise of friendship to cling to Huo Qingyan.
Lin Siyue said coldly: “I need to rest. You should leave quickly. You wouldn’t want Qingyan to know you came to see me.”
He understood that as long as Jiang Su still loved Huo Qingyan, he would be mindful of Huo Qingyan and wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.
As for Huo Zhenheng, as long as Jiang Su and Huo Qingyan didn’t divorce, he wouldn’t bother to make trouble for him.
Instead, he could add fuel to the fire in front of Huo Qingyan, saying that Jiang Su was causing him trouble.
In the end, Jiang Su would be the one who lost.
Jiang Su naturally understood the implication in Lin Siyue’s words.
Huo Qingyan could use Jiang Su’s love for him to hurt him, and Lin Siyue also wanted to use Jiang Su’s love for Huo Qingyan to threaten him.
Jiang Su felt a moment of bewilderment.
He had simply loved someone; where had he gone wrong to end up in this situation?
Jiang Su looked down at Lin Siyue: “You should start praying that Huo Qingyan really does have feelings for you.”
Jiang Su, born into a wealthy family, had an innate air of nobility and arrogance. Combined with his standing position while Lin Siyue was sitting, it created an illusion in Lin Siyue’s mind that Jiang Su was superior.
This made Lin Siyue very uncomfortable: “Qingyan naturally has feelings for me; otherwise, why would he stay by my bedside all night?”
Getting anxious already?
Jiang Su scoffed disdainfully: “Unfortunately, he proposed to me two years ago.”
“You…”
Lin Siyue was speechless for a moment.
He’d known Huo Qingyan for so many years and understood his personality. If Huo Qingyan had even a sliver of affection for him back then, he wouldn’t have married Jiang Su.
Watching Lin Siyue’s enraged expression, Jiang Su smiled and left.
Lin Siyue was nothing more than a clown.
The problems between him and Huo Qingyan had never been Lin Siyue.
…
Evening…
Huo Qingyan came home on time after work.
Jiang Su was cooking dinner in the kitchen; he had one last dish to prepare.
“All your favorites.” Huo Qingyan approached Jiang Su from behind, his voice carrying a barely perceptible smile.
The kitchen’s range hood and the sounds of cooking covered Huo Qingyan’s footsteps. Jiang Su jumped when he heard the sound.
He turned to look at Huo Qingyan: “When did you come back?”
“Just now.” Huo Qingyan noticed the fine beads of sweat on Jiang Su’s forehead and subconsciously reached out to wipe them away.
Jiang Su was startled: “The smoke is heavy. Go wait outside.”
Huo Qingyan nodded and turned to leave.
After Huo Qingyan changed his clothes and came back down, Jiang Su had already placed all the dishes on the table.
As soon as he saw Huo Qingyan come down, Jiang Su smiled at him: “Come and eat.”
Huo Qingyan slowed his pace.
It was as if they were back when they first got married; he would often see Jiang Su standing at the dining table with a smile, asking him to eat.
This feeling… wasn’t bad.
After Huo Qingyan sat down at the table, Jiang Su served him some food and earnestly asked, “Is it delicious?”
“Mm.” Huo Qingyan responded faintly.
Jiang Su immediately smiled: “Eat more.”
Huo Qingyan thought of Lin Siyue in the hospital saying he wanted to eat Jiang Su’s breakfast.
For some reason, looking at Jiang Su in front of him, he couldn’t bring himself to speak.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Su looked up and saw Huo Qingyan staring at him.
Huo Qingyan lowered his eyes slightly, not looking at Jiang Su: “Let’s have the same breakfast tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Jiang Su slowed his movements as he served himself food.
The atmosphere changed instantly.
Huo Qingyan spoke again: “I’ve been quite busy lately. I want to take it to the company to eat; it’ll save time.”
Jiang Su’s hand holding the chopsticks tightened, his lips pressed tightly as he looked at Huo Qingyan.
He knew that taking it to the company was a lie; it was to take it to Lin Siyue.
And Lin Siyue wouldn’t eat it at all; he would just throw the breakfast in the trash.
