Chapter 378: You Are Not Lacking Anything
Su Qingsang was stumped at what Huo Jinyao had said. She rubbed the tip of her nose and lifted the edges of her mouth in slight embarra.s.sment as she faced Huo Jinyao.
“You are not lacking anything, hence I don’t know what I should give you.”
“Su Qingsang,” Huo Jinyao was infuriated by her words. “What do you mean I’m not lacking anything? You mean you don’t have to buy me any presents just because I am not lacking anything? Don’t tell me that the people in your department actually need these things? Or maybe Su Yuxin does?”
No matter what, he was her husband and their relations.h.i.+p was more intimate than anyone else’s relations.h.i.+p with her. However, what was the bottom line? Everyone else had received a present, and he was the only exception. He was the only one who got nothing.
Su Qingsang saw that Huo Jinyao was truly agitated and her voice immediately became softer. “That is a wholly different matter.”
“What is the difference?”
“Their relations.h.i.+p with me is not the type of relations.h.i.+p that we have with each other.”
Huo Jinyao’s expression turned a few shades darker because of what she had said. He had no intention to let her off the hook just yet. “What is our relations.h.i.+p? Could it be that in your heart, you feel that the relations.h.i.+p between you and Su Yuxin is more intimate than ours?”
If she dared to affirm that, Huo Jinyao was definitely going to do what it took to make her know that their relations.h.i.+p was substantially more intimate and deeper than her relations.h.i.+p with Su Yuxin.
“I did not mean it that way.”
Huo Jinyao got up and then stretched on the bed again. He had the air of wanting nothing to do with her.
Su Qingsang bit her lip. She watched as he fumed and sat down on the edge of the bed.
She reached out to touch Huo Jinyao’s arm. Unexpectedly, he completely ignored her and turned his back to her.
“You’re really mad at me?”
“Yes.”
“You’re very angry?”
“I am extremely angry.”
Since his back was facing her, Su Qingsang was not able to see the expression on his face. After giving it some thought, she moved towards him and kissed him on his cheek.
“How about that? Will you be pacified now?”
“No, not at all.”
Huo Jinyao spoke these words without any change in his expression.
“Then, what about this?” Su Qingsang once again moved towards him and kissed his lips.
“That won’t do.”
If Su Qingsang were not able to see that he was doing this on purpose, it would have meant she didn’t know her husband at all.
The edges of her cherry lips rose. She did not attempt to kiss him again. Instead, she placed a hand on his arm.
“I said that our relations.h.i.+p is different from my relations.h.i.+p with them because our relations.h.i.+p is more intimate. Since it is more intimate, it doesn’t matter if I have a present for you or not; our relations.h.i.+p will still stay the same. However, it’s different from my relations.h.i.+p with them. My relations.h.i.+p with them can be strengthened with the help of gifts. Ours doesn’t need it.”
Huo Jinyao did not turn to face her, so she did not know if his anger had dissipated or not.
“I really did not overlook you on purpose. I did not know what present to get you.” She did not have much experience in being in relations.h.i.+ps with men. That was a fact.
With regard to money clips and belts used by ordinary men, those that Huo Jinyao used were always customized. If she had bought any of those items in j.a.pan for him, she was afraid that he would think they were not good enough for him.
“I need a present. I really need it.” Huo Jinyao still refused to turn to face her. “As long as it is from you, even if it were a blade of gra.s.s, I would still want it. Can’t you do that for me?”
“I can. But what if I had really forgotten to get you a gift? What will you do?”
“What can I do? Anyway, I am really mad right now. I’m not happy at all.”
Huo Jinyao was not willing to let the matter rest. Su Qingsang gazed at his back and said his name again. Huo Jinyao still did not turn to face her.
Su Qingsang lowered her head and looked at the bathrobe she had on her. She had been wearing the bathrobe since she got out of the shower just now. Huo Jinyao did not notice that just when she wanted him to. She did not choose to wear her pajamas like she used to whenever she finished showering.
She gritted her teeth, sprang up from the bed and distanced herself from him. Huo Jinyao was vexed by her actions.
She had been trying to a.s.suage his anger for a while, so why was she not able to do a little more? He was mad and decided that he would give Su Qingsang a good ‘punishment’ in a moment’s time to let her know the true meaning of a husband’s wrath.
No, it would not simply be a punishment. He wanted to…
He heard some shuffling and fiddling sounds behind him. How could she abstain from moving over to him in spite of everything? Huo Jinyao was flabbergasted. Having married a woman who was slow-witted in such matters really perplexed him.
He sprang upright with the intention of pinning Su Qingsang down beneath him to give her a good ‘punishment’. However, at that moment, he was shocked by the scene before him.
Su Qingsang had taken her bathrobe off and revealed the outfit she had on underneath it. That was a…
Huo Jinyao blinked a few times and looked at the top of Su Qingsang’s head. She was wearing a cat woman’s outfit and had put on a hairband with a pair of cat ears.
She was obviously not used to wearing such an outfit. She was wholly uncomfortable and did not even know where to put her hands.
“Actually… actually I have also prepared a gift for you.”
This was the first time in Su Qingsang’s life that she had done such an act. She was actually extremely embarra.s.sed. “My gift to you is me.”
Huo Jinyao was usually calm and composed, and would not even flinch when faced with any calamity. He was looking at the adorable pair of cat ears on Su Qingsang’s head and the furry cat tail behind her.
On top of that, he looked at the outfit she had on and suddenly got off the bed. He swept Su Qingsang off her feet in one swift motion.
“This is your gift for me?”
Su Qingsang’s face burned and turned as red as an apple. Her eyes darted all around her, but she did not have the courage to look at Huo Jinyao.
“When did you buy this?” He did not believe for a second that she would have dared to buy such an outfit in Xiang Caiping’s presence.
Su Qingsang turned even redder. It was not just her face that was red. She was blus.h.i.+ng all over her body. How could she tell him that while she was shopping in j.a.pan, Xiang Caiping had needed to use the bathroom and their tour guide had taken her there?
She just happened to notice the lingerie shop next to her and the shop owner had put on this kitten-like outfit on the mannequin outside the shop.
When she stepped into the shop, it was not only selling kitten-like outfits, but also rabbitlike outfits, nurse costumes and other cosplay outfits of that sort. She thought of Huo Jinyao and surrept.i.tiously bought two sets of such lingerie.
“You only have this one?” Huo Jinyao lay her onto the bed and climbed on top of her. “Are there still others?”
“I… have another one.” Su Qingsang flushed a deeper crimson. In fact, she had intended to put on one of the outfits for him when she got home the previous night.
It was just that Su Chenghui had suddenly appeared at their place and she had forgotten all about it.
“What is the other one?” There was a fire in Huo Jinyao’s gaze as he stared at the golden pair of cat ears on Su Qingsang’s head. He felt a tingling sensation in his heart.
“Rabbit… with rabbit ears.” At that moment, Su Qingsang did not dare to look at Huo Jinyao’s face at all. She could really feel as if her entire body was burning.
Huo Jinyao lowered his head and bit her lip. “Wear it for me tomorrow.”
Su Qingsang nodded lightly. Huo Jinyao was satisfied. He kissed her cheek and moved his lips close to her ear. “I like this gift. I like it a lot.”
Su Qingsang was completely embarra.s.sed. She wanted to avoid Huo Jinyao’s ardent gaze, but she failed.
After that, Huo Jinyao used his actions to prove to her how much he liked this gift.
After half the night had pa.s.sed, Su Qingsang regretted her decision to buy the outfit.
She should never have bought this for Huo Jinyao because he obviously liked it too much.
With his lips next to her ear, he repeatedly told her how much he liked this gift and how satisfied he was with it.
Before Su Qingsang lost consciousness, she thought of the rabbit outfit that she had yet to wear and felt it was best to throw it away. If not, her waist was going to break.
