258 Holding Hands

Huo Qi’a face was initially bright, but when he heard Su Qing’s question, he raised his brow and said somewhat unhappily, “Didn’t we agree on it yesterday? I’ll pick you up from school and we’ll go for dinner together. Did you forget about it?”

Su Qing paused for a moment, then retorted almost immediately, “I didn’t agree to it.”

She had truly forgotten about this matter. She had been bogged down by so many things today, so she didn’t have the time to recall his invitation.

By this time, there were many people returning to their dorms. They looked curiously at Su Qing, and when they saw the unfriendly looks of the people behind Huo Qi, their steps slowed. After all, no one would dislike being gossip mongers.

When Huo Qi heard Su Qing’s words, he walked closer to her. He was dressed in an exquisite and well-fitted suit, which made his movements appear exceptionally stern, like a hot and domineering brew of wine.

Huo Qi was clearly well-prepared today. One could tell from the luxurious but low profile car, as well as the well-built guards who were standing from a distance away.

At least in Huo Qi’s eyes, this was considered extremely low profile.

However, the thoughts of this triad overload were not the same as regular people. He was being extremely flashy, and the worst thing was, he was doing this for their newly crowned school belle. It would be bad if she had gotten into trouble with a boss with a dubious identity!

But the strange thing was, Su Qing did not show an ounce of fear toward him. In fact, she seemed cold and aloof, as she usually was.

Of course, both Su Qing and Huo Qi didn’t know that this group of passersby had such a creative and vivid imagination.

Huo Qi’s deep eyes stared right at Su Qing. There was a hint of mischievousness in his smile, which made one feel as though they were drowning in his eyes. “But I’ve been waiting for you here for two hours! Are you sure this is your reply? My back hurts from waiting!”

As he spoke, he even groaned a little.

Su Qing was speechless.

Huo Feng, whose arm was still in a sling, walked towards Huo Qi and echoed his boss’ words. “I can testify to this. Young Master has indeed waited here for you for two hours, Miss Su! The doctor has said the Young Master has to rest well for some time, but he insisted on coming over to see you, and we couldn’t even hold…”

Hold him back.

Huo Feng’s voice sounded softer as he spoke, and his voice trailed off even before he could finish saying his piece, all because Huo Qi had glared at him. He sighed, and could only shut his mouth and lower his head.

Huo Qi retracted his gaze, then turned once more to Su Qing and said softly, “Even if you don’t want to go out and eat, we can just eat here in your school cafeteria.”

Su Qing looked at Huo Qi’s deep eyes, and it seemed as though many emotions were flashing through them.

It was as though God lifted a hand to help him. For some reason, Su Qing actually understood what Huo Qi was hinting at. It was as though he was saying, ‘Look, I’ve already made such a compromise. Can you please not find another reason to reject me? I have my pride too.”

Su Qing frowned. For the umpteenth time today, she was speechless.

What was Huo Qi trying to do?! He was being immature and stubborn. It was as though he was like a medicinal plaster stuck onto her body, and couldn’t be removed no matter how hard she tried. She felt a little helpless.

“I heard that some of the cafeterias in Floyd are quite good! I’ll set the location, let’s go.” When Huo Qi saw that Su Qing seemed to have relented, he quickly provided a suggestion. Clearly, chasing his wife was not an easy matter, especially when it was such a beautiful and smart wife!

Wu Mu saw that there were more and more people gathered around them, and quickly pulled Su Qing’s hand.

She turned to Huo Qi, then said with an awkward smile, “Mr. Huo, why don’t you go over first? Qingqing and I can meet you once we go up and take a coat.”

It seemed as though Huo Qi had just realized that there was someone beside Su Qing. He smiled graciously, then said, “I don’t think there’s a need to do that. Qingqing can wear mine, and I’ll send both of you back after that.”

As he spoke, he reached out to take the long coat that Huo Ming had handed to him, then quickly put it on Su Qing, not allowing her to have the chance to reject him. Before Su Qing could react, he even held Su Qing’s hand, and led her to his luxurious yet low profile car.

As for Su Qing, she actually allowed Huo Qi to drag her along. Her figure, even when draped under the coat, was still cold and attractive!
