To My Dear Mr. Huo-Novel2

Chapter 638: I No Longer Have A Heart

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Here.” Li Qianxue pointed to the location of her heart. Her voice was very soft, and there was absolute determination in it. “It used to be hot, and it used to be warm. But now it’s cold, dead, broken, and there’s nothing left.”

“All of this is because of you, Su Chenghui.”

“So don’t think about trying to move me, don’t think about asking me to forgive you, or give you a chance to start over, because I no longer have a heart.”

Su Chenghui was speechless. He lowered his head. The part of his forehead covered by his hair blocked his eyes. His expression couldn’t be seen.

His body was extremely stiff. He maintained his half-squatting posture and didn’t move. Only his tightly clenched fists revealed some of his emotions.

Li Qianxue didn’t look at him. Some things were over after the ship has sailed. She didn’t want to say it at first.

She was proud. She once let go of her pride in front of Su Chenghui. She made herself humble and ingratiated. She once let go of all her dignity to love Su Chenghui.

She loved him for 26 years. She had no individuality, no dignity, nor any bottom line.

That wasn’t her, the real Li Qianxue. Now, she refused to recall it anymore. She wanted to be herself again. That arrogant, high and mighty Li Qianxue.

Forget it. Forget it. She still lost control in the end. She wouldn’t admit that Su Chenghui had the ability to make her lose control.

She hoped that this was the last time. She wouldn’t do it again in the future.

What happened today was really because she had drunk a little wine, so she couldn’t control herself. She admitted that she had resentment in her heart, and it was a considerable amount of resentment.

She really hated Su Chenghui, not only because he had swapped Su Qingsang and Su Peizhen’s identities, but also because he didn’t love her.

What she hated the most was that he used her love to hurt her unscrupulously. He used her love for him as a weapon to hurt her.

No one’s earnest feelings would be able to endure continuous disappointment and torment.

Those years had been too difficult and painful for her. She didn’t want to be like that anymore.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She picked up her bag and left.

She asked Su Qingsang to arrange a car to send her home. She would rather go back to Huo Jinyao’s apartment and spend time with Su Qingsang, just the two of them. She didn’t want to see Su Chenghui’s hypocritically affectionate face here.

The door opened and closed. Su Chenghui lost his strength and sat on the carpet.

He didn’t lose his memory. He also remembered what Li Qianxue remembered.

He knew everything that he had said and done.

Li Qianxue’s words only made him understand once again. If he really wanted Li Qianxue to forgive him, it would be a goal that would be difficult to achieve no matter how hard he worked.

Or perhaps he would never be able to make Li Qianxue forgive him in this lifetime.

His eyes were a little sour and a little bitter. Su Chenghui lowered his head and covered his eyes tightly. Regret and reluctance over parting with her, that sour feeling was from the bottom of his heart.

He knew that Li Qianxue wouldn’t forgive him so easily. But what should he do? He really didn’t want to let go.

... ..

Li Qianxue didn’t sleep well this night. Perhaps it was because she had been drinking, or perhaps it was because of other reasons. She dreamed for the entire night.

The dreams that came one after another made her uncomfortable, and she woke up at six o’clock.

After waking up, Li Qianxue couldn’t fall asleep anymore. After thinking for a while, she went to the kitchen.

At the moment, taking care of her daughter was much more important to her than being entangled with Su Chenghui.

Standing in front of the fridge, Li Qianxue stared at the food in the fridge in a daze for a moment.

The last time she cooked was more than 20 years ago. At that time, she believed what the books said. In order to capture a man’s heart, she had to capture that man’s stomach first.

Therefore, she specifically bought a lot of recipes to study, from a variety of cuisines to healthy soup.

At that time, she spent a lot of effort on cooking. Unfortunately, perhaps due to her limited talent, her cooking could only be described as terrible.

No matter how simple the cooking was, or how home-cooked the dishes were, they could be ruined by her cooking.

After continuously trying, and her hands were scalded with several blisters, she finally managed to cook something that was presentable.

She happily served it to Su Chenghui, but he didn’t eat it at all and even mocked her. He said —

Li Qianxue snapped out of her thoughts. She had said yesterday that she shouldn’t think about it, but she was still thinking about it now .

She shook her head and threw all those messy thoughts to the back of her mind.

What she needed to think about now was how to successfully cook breakfast?

Should she fry an egg and make an egg sandwich? That shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

All the ingredients were there. Ever since Su Qingsang became pregnant, so she could be able to eat anything at any time, a variety of ingredients were all stored in the refrigerator at home.

Li Qianxue first looked up the recipe on the internet, then found all the ingredients.

Following the instructions on the recipe, she began to fry the eggs first.

When Su Qingsang came out of the room, she smelled the burnt scent in the air.

Since it was the mid-autumn festival yesterday, she had given Auntie Yu the day off. Auntie Yu wouldn’t be coming over today. Could it be that Huo Jinyao was cooking?

When she saw Li Qianxue cooking eggs at the counter, Su Qingsang felt as if her eyeballs were about to pop out.

“Mom?”

“Qingsang?”

Li Qianxue was momentarily embarrassed. She didn’t expect her culinary skills to be so terrible. It was just frying an egg, and the steps on the internet were so simple.

But —

Looking at the black eggs in the trash can, she felt guilty.

“Mom, are you making breakfast?”

Li Qianxue was even more embarrassed. “I wanted to make you an egg sandwich.”

Su Qingsang looked at her, and her heart felt like it was pricked by a needle. It didn’t hurt, but it made her feel a little aguished

Who was Li Qianxue? She was actually cooking for her?

She dared to bet that in the past few decades, Li Qianxue had never even cooked for herself. But now, she wanted to make a sandwich for her.

“Mom, let me do it.”

Su Qingsang calmly put away the emotions on her face. She took a few steps forward and stood in front of the counter.

“No, let’s go out and eat. You’re pregnant, how can I let you cook?”

“It’s okay.” Su Qingsang smelled the obvious burning scent that couldn’t be concealed by the range hood.

“Mom, stand outside a little. Otherwise, the oil and smoke will be too strong later.”

“No, you should rest. I’m so stupid. I can’t even cook.”

“Mom, how could you be stupid? In my heart, you’re the smartest.”

Su Qingsang smiled at Li Qianxue, washed the bottom of the pot that was already black, then took out the eggs again.

“Mom, why don’t you go outside and rest?”

“It’s okay, I’ll stand here and look at you.” Li Qianxue looked at Su Qingsang’s slightly bulging stomach. “I keep feeling that we should go out and eat.”

“No need. I’m not that fragile.”

Su Qingsang turned on the fire and poured oil into it. “Haven’t you heard? People in the past were still working in the fields a few days before giving birth.”

Although she had never given birth, as a gynecologist, she had heard too much in the hospital.

Many mothers-in-law or mothers liked to tell their daughters-in-law how hard they had worked in the past and how happy they were now when their daughters-in-law gave birth.

“That was in the past, and now is the present.”

Li Qianxue watched Su Qingsang skillfully lay the egg into the pot. It was the same process, but her movements were smoother than hers.

“Mom, when you fry eggs, don’t overheat it. Just turn the heat to medium. Fry this side first until the bottom is golden. When it’s almost done, turn it over. It won’t take long. Once the egg is old, it won’t taste good.”

As she spoke, Su Qingsang had already finished frying the egg.

She scooped it out and continued to cook the second one. At the same time, she turned around and put toast slices into the toaster.

“This is cooked, right?”

“Yes.” Su Qingsang nodded. “But if it’s toasted, it will taste better later. I like to eat it that way.”

As Su Qingsang spoke, she turned back and continued to fry the second egg. It just happened to turn over. Li Qianxue blinked her eyes.

“Qingsang, you’re really amazing.”

“This really isn’t that amazing.” Su Qingsang smiled. She was a little embarrassed by Li Qianxue’s exaggerated praise. “It’s just the simplest way.”

“But I don’t even know the simplest way.”

“But Mom, you know how to make money.” As Su Qingsang spoke, she had already finished frying the second egg.

She chatted with Li Qianxue while her hands moved non-stop.

“Look, the Li Corporation is so big and there are so many things to do, but you still do everything so well. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be able to do it.”

“That’s because you didn’t learn. If you learned, you would also know.”

“Not necessarily. Mom, don’t think too highly of me. I really don’t have that kind of talent.”

Su Qingsang finished making all three sandwiches. Then, she cut the first one into four pieces and laid them out.

“Okay, another glass of milk. Done.”

“Try it.”

Li Qianxue sat down, took a bite, and nodded heavily.

“It’s delicious. Qingsang, your cooking is really good.”

“You’re flattering me.”

Su Qingsang sat down as well. Huo Jinyao came back just as she took a bite.

He was used to running in the morning every day. He didn’t go during the period when Su Qingsang had the most severe morning sickness. Recently, Su Qingsang had become lethargic again, and no longer had morning sickness, so he resumed running in the morning.

He held the breakfast he had just bought in his hand.

He looked at Su Qingsang when he saw the sandwiches on the table. “Didn’t I say that I would buy breakfast today? Why did you do it yourself? Don’t you think it’s too smoky?”

“It’s just making a sandwich. How can there be any smoke?”

Su Qingsang never saw herself as that fragile. Li Qianxue couldn’t help but defend Su Qingsang. “It’s my fault. I wanted to make breakfast for Qingsang. I didn’t expect Qingsang to clean up after it failed.”

“Mom.” Su Qingsang interrupted her. “How did I become the one cleaning up after you? You clearly gave me a chance to show off. Otherwise, I would have forgotten all about cooking next time.”

“You.”

Li Qianxue didn’t know if it was because of they talked things through, but she could really feel that Su Qingsang’s tone towards her was much more casual.

She was a little happy and a little emotional. Su Chenghui was outrageous, but their daughter was a good person.

“Then wouldn’t the breakfast I bought be a waste?”

“What’s there to waste? Isn’t there still you?”

After breakfast, because it was still the long holiday today, Su Qingsang suggested going shopping with Li Qianxue.

Li Qianxue was also very interested. However, she looked at Su Qingsang’s belly worriedly. “Are you okay?”

“You really don’t have to treat me like a doll. I’m in good health.”

Su Qingsang even made a fist gesture as she spoke.

Li Qianxue smiled, and Huo Jinyao volunteered to be the driver. He took the mother and daughter out.

This time, Su Qingsang wanted to buy a few maternity clothes. The babies were getting older and older. She could still wear sportswear now, but she wouldn’t be able to wear it anymore later.

It wasn’t just maternity clothes. She especially liked to go to mother-and-baby stores now. In the past, she didn’t understand that kind of feeling, and when she saw babies, she only felt that they were cute.

Now, everything about babies were cute in her eyes.

“How do you like this one?”

Su Qingsang was holding a light blue dress in her hand. She looked at the design and thought it was cute.

“It looks good.” Li Qianxue was approving of her taste. “Buy another set in pink. The twins might be a boy and a girl.”

“What if there’re two boys?”

“Then buy two sets each.” Huo Jinyao was very generous. “Then we’ll have both for boys and girls.”

“This one is good, and that one just now, I think we’ve already bought them all.” Li Qianxue nodded and suddenly approached Su Qingsang. “You work in the hospital yourself. Is it possible for you to know in advance?”

She really wasn’t prioritizing boys over girls, she was just purely curious.

“Mom.” Su Qingsang smiled. “I’m a doctor, I can’t violate the rules, right? I’ve already agreed with Jinyao that we won’t go for that check-up. When the time comes, let nature take its course. Whether it’s a boy or a girl, it’s a gift from God.”

“That’s right.” Huo Jinyao nodded. He liked both boys and girls.

“Speaking of which, you can think of names for the children first,” Li Qianxue suggested. “Think of four names. Two boys and two girls. You can use them as backup.”

“It’s not up to me.” Yesterday, Old Master Huo had said that he would name the two precious great-grandchildren himself.

“Of course. “It was reasonable. With Old Master Huo around, Old Master Huo could think about it first. historical

In fact, Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang had been thinking about a lot of names during this period of time. However, none of them could decide on any particular name.

In the end, they decided to leave it to Old Master Huo to worry about it.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they strolled around the entire morning. Su Qingsang had to take a nap after the meal. Therefore, after the meal, Huo Jinyao brought the two of them home.

Huo Jinyao had just parked the car and was about to get out to open the door for Su Qingsang and Li Qianxue.

The security guard behind them came out at this time. “Mr. Huo, you’re back? A person entered the neighborhood and kept saying that he was a guest of your house. I asked him what kind of guest he was, but he didn’t say anything and simply refused to leave.”

The security guards in the apartment were very responsible. Usually, they would only let people in after asking.

Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue had been here before, so the security guards knew them. As for the man who came today, the security guards didn’t know him, and he looked suspicious.

“A guest?”

Huo Jinyao raised his eyebrows and saw a man in his thirties walk out of the apartment. He had a youthful face but facial features that didn’t make him look childish. He looked like a young hunk.

However, his slightly plump lips were curled into a smile and gave off the impression that he was a playboy.

“You’re...”

Huo Jinyao was very certain that he didn’t know this person at all.

At the same time, Su Qingsang and Li Qianxue also got out of the car. The man didn’t even look at Huo Jinyao. He ran straight to Li Qianxue.

“Qianxue, I’m here to find you.”

“Wei Ting?”

Li Qianxue was shocked when she saw who it was. She couldn’t hide the shock in her eyes.

“Why are you here? No, how did you know I was here?”

Wei Ting’s smile grew brighter. He waved the phone in his palm.

“Qianxue, have you forgotten what I do? I located your phone yesterday. This morning, I flew all the way here to look for you. How is it? Are you touched?”

Touched by what? Li Qianxue only felt very awkward now. “Wei Ting, who gave you the right to locate my phone? Did I agree to you locating my phone? Also, what exactly do you want to do?”

“Are you angry? Don’t be angry.” Wei Ting put away the smile on his face, which gave people the feeling that he was a bit frivolous.

From Li Qianxue’s appearance now, she seemed to be really angry, so he also put away the cheeky smile on his face. “Don’t you know how I located it? After all, I came back from Silicon Valley. How could such a small task be difficult for me? As for what do you think I want to do? You refused to see me before, and you’ve disappeared for the past few days, so I can only come to you.”

“You want to find me? Why do you want to find me?”

“To pursue you. Didn’t I say it before? I said that I like you, and I want to pursue you.”

Su Qingsang felt that her eyeballs were about to pop out.

When she was joking with Li Qianxue earlier, she said that she hoped she would blessed with a young and handsome man. He would pursue her well.

She didn’t expect that a young and handsome man would really come. Judging from this handsome man’s appearance, he was only a few years older than her.

Could it be that Li Qianxue was going to find a young stepfather for her?

“Wei Ting, can you stop causing trouble?”

Li Qianxue was extremely embarrassed by his words. Her daughter and son-in-law were by her side now, so what nonsense was Wei Ting talking about here?

“How is it causing trouble? I’m serious.”

Wei Ting raised three fingers. “Look, I chased you all the way to Rong City. How can you say that I’m causing trouble?”

He looked at Su Qingsang, who was at the side, and said in an ingratiating manner, “Hello, you’re Qianxue’s daughter, right? My name is Wei Ting. I’m your mother’s admirer.”

No matter how “wordly” Su Qingsang was, she was so shocked that her mouth feell agape when she heard that her mother had a admirer.

“Hello, Mr. Wei.”

Su Qingsang forced herself not to act dumbfounded and reflexively glanced at Huo Jinyao.

Wei Ting also looked at Huo Jinyao, and took the initiative to extend his right hand. “Hello, President Huo. I’ve heard a lot about you. Tianyu Group is doing very well in Lin City. President Huo is impressive.”

“You’re too kind.”

Huo Jinyao looked at the hand that was extended and then looked at Li Qianxue, who was standing next to him with an awkward expression. He shook hands with him generously.

The smile on Wei Ting’s face became even more earnest because of Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang’s friendly smiles.

“If there’s a chance, I hope I can work together with your Tianyu Group.”

“If there’s a chance.” Huo Jinyao didn’t make any promises.

The man in front of him was Li Qianxue’s suitor, and he had pursued her all the way to Rong City. He wasn’t sure what would happen in the future. Since that was the case, he chose to observe first.

“Jinyao, Qingsang, it’s really nice to meet you two today.”

As Wei Ting spoke, he leaned forward.

“I hope you can help me put in a good word in front of Qianxue for the sake of my sincerity.”

As he spoke, she winked at Su Qingsang.

Li Qianxue had a headache. She turned around and looked at the stunned security guard.

“I’m sorry, please help me take this person out.”

What? Wei Ting stared at Li Qianxue with widened eyes. “Qianxue, our two companies are working together. How can our two companies work together if you throw me out like this?”

“If you want to talk about business, we can discuss it slowly when I return to Lin City. Now, either you leave, or I’ll ask the security guard to send you away. This is my private time, so I don’t want to use it to talk about business.”

“Qianxue?” Wei Ting waved the security guard away. “I only came to look for you because I know this is your private time. After all, every time I go to your company to look for you, you say we can’t talk about anything other than business in the company. Now that I finally found you, you say that it’s your private time and you can’t talk about work? Well, let me ask you, when do you plan to have a good talk with me about our matters?”

Li Qianxue had a headache. She didn’t know what was going on with Wei Ting.

Because the two companies were working together, after seeing each other twice, Li Qianxue started having more contact with him.

However, this kind of more contact was only limited to the communication between her and Wei Ting regarding the cooperation project and business matters.

However, some time ago, Wei Ting suddenly said that he liked her and wanted to pursue her.

That was simply too ridiculous. Li Qianxue wouldn’t believe it at all.

In her opinion, Wei Ting was just bored and wanted to be with her to past time.

He had the leisure to do so, but she didn’t want to cooperate. She was too busy promoting the Li family, so how could she have the time to care about these sorts of romantic affairs?

“It’s impossible for me to talk to you, and there’s nothing to talk about. You should go. Don’t do this again next time.”

In her eyes, to pursue her to Rong City without asking wasn’t sincerity, but harassment.

It was simply intolerable to her, especially since he even located her phone.

“What do you mean? Why is it impossible?”

Wei Ting took a few steps forward and stood in front of Li Qianxue once again.

“Why is it impossible? You haven’t even dated me, yet you’re saying that you can’t do it. Can you at least date me for a period of time before coming up with a conclusion?”

“I don’t need to date you for a period of time. I can tell you now. Of course it’s impossible for us. “First of all, I’ve been divorced, and according to you, you’ve never even had a girlfriend. Second of all, as you can see, my daughter is pregnant, and I’m going to be a grandmother, yet you’re still so young. How do you think we can be together?

“It’s a good thing that you’re going to be a grandmother. What does it have to do with me being with you?”

Li Qianxue had an inexplicable headache. She hadn’t slept well to begin with, and now she felt even more tired. She didn’t want to explain anymore.

“We’re not suitable and that’s that. You can go.”

Li Qianxue was just about to ask the security guard to bring this person out of the community when she saw Su Chenghui on the path beside the apartment in the distance. She didn’t know when he had arrived, or how long he had been standing there, or how much he had heard.
